Above the gray fog

Lin Shan stopped at a uniquely decorated restaurant.

This restaurant is located in a corner of the gathering place. The decoration is simple but full of exotic style, and the walls are covered with strange utensils.

Lin Shan sat quietly by the window, picking up a peanut-like fruit from time to time and putting it in his mouth, looking out the window distantly.

The world outside is busy and noisy, with creatures of all shapes and sizes coming and going.

Lin Shan's state made all the creatures passing by unable to help but glance at him. He seemed to be an eternal god, with endless vicissitudes and wisdom revealed in his silence.

Sitting opposite him was the little devil, with a cunning face but looking a little sluggish at the moment.

The dishes on this table were all ordered for it, and all kinds of delicacies exuded tempting aromas.

While eating, the little devil looked up at Lin Shan, with a hint of complicated emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Shan, I may not live long."

The little devil's voice was low and slightly sad.

"The magic box is working on you for free. I can't absorb enough energy to survive. I can live for up to 300,000 years. I might die."

It paused and continued: "After I die, I hope you can still remember me."

"A great thinker of our demons once said - when will a demon really die? The answer is when all demons have forgotten him. To live in the heart is to exist in the fate of cause and effect, and to be alive, if only a little bit There is no trace left, it is death.”

Lin Shan lowered his head and looked at it. The little devil didn't know what he drank and was a little dizzy walking on the table.

"If there is philosophy in this world, it will only suit some people." Lin Shan picked up a peanut and chewed it in his mouth, his voice indifferent.

"I think your words are very philosophical. You must be a big thinker, right?" The little devil walked up to Lin Shan, pointed at Lin Shan, giggled a few times, and suddenly fell down on the table.

The little devil who fell to the ground turned into particles and floated back to the magic box like scattered stardust.

Lin Shan disappeared from the spot and appeared high in the sky.

Under the endless sky, he overlooked the entire land.

The golden spear appeared beside him, emitting a hazy golden light, shrouding him in it.

This light is like a barrier, blocking out all interference from the outside world.

Lin Shan closed his eyes and activated his 'Knowing Fate' and various deduction abilities together.

His consciousness quickly entered the mysterious space of destiny, looking for traces of four-dimensional life.

Consciousness turns into countless thin lines, extending in all directions.

Every thin line is constantly shuttled, explored, and captured.

"This is..."

At a certain moment, Lin Shan opened his eyes.

He found his purpose.

A group of weak fourth-dimensional beings.

There are several communities located in different places.

Lin Shan didn't expect that four-dimensional life would be so easy to find, perhaps because his destiny ability was relatively powerful.

Although they have been found, these four-dimensional beings are too weak.

If a weak four-dimensional life is made into a puppet, the resources required for subsequent strengthening will be astronomical.

Lin Shan wanted to find a four-dimensional life that was at least Sequence 1. This would not only save a lot of resources, but also save hundreds, even tens of thousands, of years of strengthening time.

Lin Shan tried to search again.

The result is still the same.

However, the more powerful a life form is, the more concealed its destiny is.

Four-dimensional beings are born with the ability to shield. With his current deduction ability, he can only find four-dimensional beings around sequence 7.

With the idea that something is better than nothing, Lin Shan flew in the nearest direction.

He calculated the distance and found that it was not particularly far. With the blessing of the magic box, it would only take about thirteen years.

Twelve years later.

After another long journey, Lin Shan successfully arrived at the calculated location.

This area seems particularly mysterious, as if it is isolated from the world.

Right now there is a vast black sea. The water is as deep as ink and emits a strange light.

Strange ripples appear on the surface of the Black Sea from time to time.

There are some strange soft-bodied creatures floating on it.

Lin Shan frowned slightly, a divine light flashed between his brows, and he opened his eyes to look down.

The Sky Eye penetrated through the layers of darkness and void, and soon discovered the location of the four-dimensional life.

The next second, Lin Shan's perception was like an invisible net, quickly penetrating the surface of the Black Sea and extending downward.

These four-dimensional beings live in the depths of the Black Sea, formless and floating between reality and illusion.

If you go directly into this black sea without going deep into time and space, you will definitely find nothing.

Lin Shan carefully observed every four-dimensional life under the Black Sea.

The longest of these four-dimensional lives only lasts for an hour, and the shortest only lasts for a few seconds.

Lin Shan's sensory net captured the four-dimensional life that occupies the longest time line at its extreme ejection speed.

At the same time, other fourth-dimensional beings seemed to sense some kind of danger signal and began to become restless.

The short life forms frantically hit the perception grid, trying to rescue their companions, while the slightly larger ones surrounded Lin Shan, intending to intimidate and attack.

Lin Shan had no interest in these weak lives and left directly after closing the net.

His figure traveled through the void and came to a desolate area.

The surrounding area is desolate, with only a few dead old trees standing quietly in the wind, like witnesses of the years.

Seeing that this place was suitable, Lin Shan went underground.

Hundreds of thousands of meters underground, Lin Shan inserted the Time Spear horizontally above to isolate the detection.

Next, he would concentrate on making puppets.

Lin Shan placed the four-dimensional life in front of him.

The four-dimensional life wrapped in the perception network was like a ball of invisible energy, flowing slowly in the air.

"Are you talking to me?" Lin Shan looked at the air in front of him and asked.

At first, this four-dimensional life emitted intermittent unknown sound waves, hitting Lin Shan's mental power.

Although Lin Shan felt the existence of these sound waves, even if he used mental power to analyze, he could not understand the meaning of the sound waves at all.

But as the sound waves hit the mental power differently, Lin Shan found that he seemed to understand a little.

This is a new way of communication, which transcends the boundaries of spiritual language and directly touches the depths of the soul.

Lin Shan waited for a while.

"Let me go, please let me go." The voice of the four-dimensional life began to gradually echo in Lin Shan's consciousness, with deep despair and pleading.

"My children can't live without me," it continued to whine, "without me, they will all be killed by nightmares..."

Lin Shan stared at the nothingness in front of him, frowning slightly.

Can four-dimensional life reproduce? It shouldn't be the kind of reproduction he thought...

"Let you go, who will be my material?" Lin Shan asked calmly.

"I can let one of my children be your material." The voice was full of determination.
