In the silent and dead void, there was endless gray fog.

It is like a sea of ​​gray fog, constantly flowing and dispersing with the passage of time.

Until a certain point in time, the boundless sea of ​​fog suddenly shook violently, and countless thick fogs retreated to both sides like a tide, revealing a gray fog ball one meter square in the center.

Different from the surrounding gray fog, this gray fog is more condensed and its color tends to be dark gray.

After the sea of ​​fog dissipated, the dark grey fog quickly extended and changed, condensing into a vague human figure.

When the gray fog completely solidified, a human body made of gray fog appeared in the void.

The boundless sea of ​​gray fog shook as if celebrating His birth.

As the gray fog lingered, the dark gray human body slowly opened its eyes.

The limbs, facial features and orifices are all sharp and clear, even the hair on the head and the trembling eyelashes in the eyes are clearly visible and lifelike.

"Unfortunately, fake is fake..."

Looking at his right hand, which was so delicate that it was distorted, the dark gray human body sighed softly.

His name was Lin Zhongtian. He was originally a sophomore student on Earth. He took advantage of the holidays to travel to Huashan with his classmates. As a result, he accidentally lost his footing at a dangerous bend in Wuyun Peak and fell off a cliff.

He thought that his life would end here, but he didn't fall to the bottom of the cliff, but fell into this unknown gray foggy space.

If it were just that, it would be fine. However, this space or this grey sea of ​​fog seemed to have some unknown characteristics. The moment Lin Zhongtian fell into it, his fragile flesh and blood body disintegrated and dissipated, leaving only a wisp of consciousness clinging to the grey sea of ​​fog.

Perhaps it was the reality of the ups and downs that made it difficult for Lin Zhongtian to accept. The moment he realized that his body was disintegrating and dissipating, his spirit and cognition collapsed for a moment, and his originally clear consciousness became blurred with the collapse of his spirit.

It seemed as if something was dragging his soul down, sinking deeper and deeper.

Lin Zhongtian couldn't resist the blurring of consciousness and finally fell asleep in this sinking feeling.

It was not until an unknown amount of time had passed that Lin Zhongtian regained consciousness from his deep sleep.

Different from the previous human perspective, the awakened Lin Zhongtian saw a brand new world.

It was like the perspective of God high above the sky, overlooking every inch of the entire gray fog space with an indescribable high-dimensional vision.

When he just woke up, Lin Zhongtian was unable to adapt to this strange vision.

But as time passed, he gradually adapted, and the fear and despair in his heart became calm and numb under the polishing of time.

He began to recall the first half of his life, trying to write down every detail of the past.

But no matter how long a movie is, it will eventually come to an end.

In order not to be driven crazy by the dead silence of the empty room, Lin Zhongtian decided to set a goal for himself.

He first tried to explore the secrets of this gray foggy space, but to no avail. Instead, in the process of exploration, he discovered his powerful control over this place.

As long as he wanted, both the gray fog and the space would move according to his will.

It was as if the whole world had become a ball of plasticine in his hands, allowing him to knead and deform it into any shape he wanted.

What is space solidification, space barrier, space cutting, gray fog condensation...

To Lin Zhongtian, it was just a thought.

For a moment, he really thought he had become a god here.

But soon Lin Zhongtian came to his senses.

He calmly realized that no matter how powerful he was in this gray fog space, he was ultimately just a prisoner of this gray fog space, and at best a prisoner who controlled the entire prison.

But no matter how powerful a prisoner is, he is still a prisoner.

Unable to find a way out, he could only float above the dead gray sea of ​​fog, accompanied by loneliness and silence all day long.

Lin Zhongtian was not content with this, so he set a new goal for himself:

Find a way to escape from this prison!

So, Lin Zhongtian began to use his ability to shatter the space constantly, trying to tear open a space channel like in the novel of his previous life and escape from this lonely and silent prison.

It’s a pity that the torn space connects to an even more dead nothingness.

As long as his consciousness tried to spread into nothingness, he would feel an indescribable terror.

There was nothing to say, Lin Zhongtian decisively followed the guidance of his heart.

But he was unwilling to give up just like that, so he used the most brutal and exhaustive method and began to shatter the gray fog space inch by inch from beginning to end.

During his previous exploration of the gray fog space, Lin Zhongtian discovered that this place was not truly boundless.

There is a clear boundary in all directions, east, west, north, south, up and down.

But without a reference object for comparison, Lin Zhongtian could not judge the specific distance of the boundary, and naturally could not calculate the true volume of the gray fog space.

In any case, as long as the gray fog space is not infinite, Lin Zhongtian can shatter every inch of space here in the most brutal way.

Anyway, the shattered space will recover on its own.

What Lin Zhongtian lacks the least is time. In the eyes of Lin Zhongtian, who is so idle that his mind is almost in trouble, this boring and repetitive activity is full of fun.

Just like that, with Lin Zhongtian's amazing patience, the first special spatial coordinate appeared.

It was a silver ball of light, located in the dead silent void outside the gray foggy space. The ball of light emanated a vitality that was different from the void, just like the difference between sunlight and shadow.

After discovering this silver ball of light, Lin Zhongtian was ecstatic.

He immediately tried to spread his consciousness to the silver ball of light.

But for some reason, even though the silver ball of light was right in front of him, he could not feel its presence.

In just a few moments, Lin Zhongtian's mood changed from ecstasy to disappointment and then to despair.

If it were Lin Zhongtian on Earth, he would have been completely crushed by this cruel reality, but Lin Zhongtian today is no longer the same person he was before. His character has been tempered by time and has become extremely tough.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Zhongtian adjusted his mentality, strengthened his belief, and reignited the war.

Finally, he found the second silver ball of light.

Unlike the first silver ball of light, the second silver ball of light seemed to be stretched by something and turned into an elliptical ball of light shaped like a spindle.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian was thoughtful.

Then, with the discovery of the third, fourth... and tenth silver light balls, Lin Zhongtian gradually figured out some patterns in the void.

He discovered that the space in the void was not a completely linear existence, but a coexistence of linearity and jumpiness.

Here, what is within reach may seem like a world away, and what is beyond reach may seem like a short distance away.

Taking the first silver ball of light as an example, from a certain perspective, it may be a continuous line, but in the void it is a divided point.

What is connected to it is most likely another ball of light several light years away from the field of vision.

Lin Zhongtian realized it, and he began to look for the silver light ball that was closely connected to the gray fog space.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally found a silver ball of light that met his needs.

This time, his consciousness finally spread into the silver ball of light.

The moment he regained consciousness, a fresh world full of soil, rocks, trees and vitality appeared before his eyes.

Lin Zhongtian finally couldn't suppress his inner joy, and his consciousness spread toward the outside world like a wild horse, wanting to take a look at this vibrant world.

However, consciousness only spread a short distance and could not advance any further.

It was like hitting an invisible solid wall.

Lin Zhongtian has long been accustomed to this kind of unexpected setbacks.

His joyful mood did not change at all, and he began to observe with great interest the small piece of land he could observe.

This was also the first time he discovered that the insects crawling in the soil were so cute, and the seedlings breaking through the soil were so touching...

After observing with great interest for a long time, Lin Zhongtian reluctantly shrank back into the gray fog space.

He also wanted to see the beautiful world outside and not waste all his time on "documentaries".

So, Lin Zhongtian began to try to break through that barrier of consciousness.

While exploring the secrets of the gray fog space, Lin Zhongtian discovered that this gray fog sea could carry his own consciousness, so he attached his consciousness to the gray fog, and then drove the gray fog into that world, using the gray fog as a carrier to allow himself to walk in the outside world and break through barriers.

Unfortunately, the gray fog dissipated instantly after entering the silver light ball and could not be maintained at all.

Just like ink dropped into clear water, it will continue to dilute and dissipate as time goes by.

In order to resist this dilution force, Lin Zhongtian tried to condense the gray fog infinitely and turn it into a dark gray solid sphere. In this way, the gray fog sphere could indeed enter the world behind the silver light sphere, but it would still dissipate, but the speed of dissipation became very slow.

But this is enough for Lin Zhongtian.

After all, there is everything missing here, except gray fog.

As long as the problem can be solved by piling up numbers, it is not a problem for him.

Compared to the dissipating gray fog, the insurmountable barrier of consciousness is the most difficult problem.

Lin Zhongtian carefully controlled the dark gray sphere and flew towards the world of silver light balls.

At the moment when the gray ball touched the consciousness barrier, his consciousness was bounced out of the gray ball as if it had hit a jelly wall. The gray ball lost power and fell to the ground, rolling forward under the influence of inertia and disappearing from the field of consciousness.

Failed...

Lin Zhongtian was not discouraged, or rather, this was something he had expected.

The gray ball's actions depend on its consciousness. When the consciousness cannot penetrate the barrier, the gray ball naturally cannot continue to move.

But the gray ball can pass through the barrier by relying on inertia without conscious control.

This meant that the invisible barrier only targeted his consciousness and had no effect on the gray fog.

Lin Zhongtian was thoughtful. There were currently two paths before him - either force his consciousness to break through the invisible barrier, or find a way to sneak through!

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian's consciousness shrank back into the gray fog space.

After a moment, a body made purely of gray fog appeared in the sea of ​​fog.

Lin Zhongtian's consciousness moved, like a huge rock sinking into the sea, diving down layer by layer and falling into the gray fog body.
