Above the gray fog

As Lin Shan exerted his strength.

The door of [Impermanence] slowly opened a gap.

Lin Shan's sight passed through the gap.

But he saw nothing.

Only a deep darkness.

He hesitated in his heart, but this hesitation was quickly suppressed by Lin Shan.

He stepped into the door.

He stood in place and watched the scene inside the door.

Lin Shan's expression was slightly condensed.

Here... It's like a high-dimensional library.

As his eyes moved, the space of the entire library was constantly changing.

Endless bookshelves, hidden in the parallel lines of the past and present, and the infinitely extended past and present.

These bookshelves, carrying books, are crossing dimensions in an incredible way, wandering in the infinitely intertwined time and space.

After Lin Shan appeared, these bookshelves automatically separated a path.

As he moved forward, the structure of the ground and space seemed to be adjusting autonomously.

The width of the reserved passage kept changing, sometimes separating, and sometimes closing again.

After walking for an unknown period of time, the ground under Lin Shan's feet became slippery, and a thin stream of water gently slapped his legs.

He looked down and found that he was standing in a clear pool.

The water in the pool was flowing, the surface of the water was rippling gently, and the sound of the water was as clear as the echo of a feather falling on the water, quiet and peaceful.

Lin Shan looked down at his reflection in the water.

He didn't realize how he walked into the pool step by step.

He turned around and looked back, and behind him became a water surface with no boundaries, and the road he came from had disappeared.

Lin Shan frowned slightly, was it a displacement of space or other reasons?

Lin Shan continued to move forward, and the clear water gradually flooded to his ankles.

At this time, Lin Shan discovered that the water was different.

"The fountain of life..."

He muttered to himself, his voice full of doubt, "Why is there a fountain of life here..."

There was no way back, so Lin Shan could only continue to move forward. As he moved forward, the water became deeper and deeper, gradually submerging his knees, thighs, waist, and chest.

As the water level continued to rise, Lin Shan began to feel a strange sense of oppression.

Lin Shan didn't stop until the water reached his neck.

He was just a special spirit now, unable to fly or use his extraordinary abilities.

The waters in front of him were just big enough to 'drowned' him.

Going forward would definitely be a dead end.

Lin Shan took a deep breath, turned around and tried to walk back along the way he had just come.

The return trip was not as smooth as he had imagined.

The waters were still getting deeper and deeper, gradually flooding his mouth.

"What would happen if I died here?"

Lin Shan had doubts in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest fear or worry.

He closed his eyes and tried to connect to the body outside. As long as the body woke up, he could directly abandon this wisp of consciousness.

But no matter how Lin Shan tried, he couldn't feel the existence of the outside world.

Gradually, Lin Shan became more panicked.

He calmed down and thought carefully about countermeasures.

He was currently in the door of 'Impermanence'. If he wanted to reach the other side smoothly, he had to think about the problem from the level of 'Impermanence' source law.

What is the connection between ‘impermanence’ and the environment he is in now...

"Can't figure it out?"

"You can't figure it out."

Suddenly, a voice came into Lin Shan's mind.

Lin Shan felt that the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

A straw boat slowly floated from a distance and arrived in front of Lin Shan.

Lin Shan climbed onto the boat with the help of the straw rope next to him.

"You didn't remember what I said, so you can't cross this 'shallow abyss'." The voice sounded again, and the boat carried Lin Shan slowly across the river.

The boat reached the other side and put Lin Shan down.

There was still a door on the shore.

It was the same door he had entered before.

It was obviously the exit of this space.

In front of the door, stood a figure familiar to Lin Shan.

The scarecrow.

The scarecrow seemed not to notice Lin Shan's approach, holding an ancient book in his hand and flipping through it attentively.

The paper of the book had turned yellow, and the cover was blurred, at least Lin Shan couldn't see it clearly.

It was not until Lin Shan walked in front of him that the scarecrow raised his head and looked at Lin Shan with his two button eyes.

Lin Shan could not see anything from the scarecrow's eyes.

"Why are you here?" Lin Shan asked.

The scarecrow lowered his head and continued to flip through the book, his voice low and calm, "If I wasn't here, you might have died."

"Drowned."

"......" Lin Shan was silent and did not speak.

He did not do what the scarecrow told him.

"Knowing that there might be no way ahead, why didn't you choose to turn back earlier?" The scarecrow suddenly asked.

"No reason." Lin Shan shook his head.

"Yes, you just want to get to the end quickly." The scarecrow closed the old book in his hand, "You are still implementing your own way, so firm that you can ignore everything."

Lin Shan looked at the scarecrow, "Is the world big?"

The scarecrow once told him that he had been implementing the 'world is big' all his life, and hoped that he would work hard for the world to be small in the future.

Obviously, he did not do it.

"Yes." The Scarecrow nodded, "You have already paid the price. Perhaps you don't know how heavy the price is yet, but I hope you won't regret it."

"I take back what I said before. Everyone has his own ambitions. You don't have to imitate me in narrowing your heart. Now, you can do whatever you want to do. [Impermanence], this is your final choice." The scarecrow's eyes were full of regret. , "I can only help you this time. Next, you are free."

The scarecrow handed the ancient book in his hand to Lin Shan and opened the door behind him.

A burst of light squeezed in through the crack in the door, and Lin Shan felt a blur of consciousness. When he woke up, he was already in a room in a dark forest.

He also held an ancient book with yellowed pages in his hand.

"scarecrow..."

Lin Shan muttered to himself, then opened the ancient book in his hand.

[Destiny: Impermanence is an unpredictable and ever-changing destiny trajectory. It represents the vagaries, unpredictable and elusive fate of fate. Different from the fixed fate and the negativity of fatalism, the impermanent destiny emphasizes a kind of relationship with destiny. The attitude of fate game. ]

[Impermanent people should pursue ‘freedom’ and ‘true self’, and strive to maintain their independence and integrity amidst changes. ]

[Impermanent people do not reject change, but seek the truth in change and accept all possible results, except the fixed ending. ]

[Chaos stance is not biased toward one extreme, but pursues inner freedom and self-identity. This kind of freedom is not limited to good and evil, right and wrong. ]

The ancient book looks very thick, but in fact it only contains information on one page.

When I finished reading, another note fell from nowhere.

[This is everything I know about 'impermanence'. Since it is the path you choose, even if it does not suit you, you must go with it. From now on, you are a stone named 'freedom' on the chessboard of all sentient beings. chess piece. ]

The ancient books and notes in his hands ignited white flames at the same moment and gradually disappeared.

Lin Shan stretched his limbs slightly, and then stretched out a finger.

The fingertips trembled slightly, and the energy in the body began to vibrate slightly.

As he thought, an indescribable energy was inspired.

The transparent color can only vaguely capture a trace of white shadow.

‘The power of impermanence – endless changes, unpredictable ghosts and ghosts. ’
