Above the gray fog

Two years later.

Lin Shan was still in the palace of the Chong Wang.

Chong Wang would come to Lin Shan from time to time, and the two of them would chat about nothing.

The reason why Lin Shan continued to stay here was because he felt that the mysterious power had undergone subtle changes under the stimulation of the energy of the abyss.

Since he was promoted to Sequence 1, the mysterious power has been dormant, but the energy of the abyss has gradually made it progress.

Going deeper into the abyss, the danger will inevitably increase with the depth, but as long as he does not enter those forbidden areas, Lin Shan's strength is still at the top level in the abyss.

However, this top is only relative. Although he has never fought with Chong Wang, he knows that Chong Wang is undoubtedly a king-level strongman.

If he encounters a demon with the strength of Chong Wang but is not friendly, everything will become very difficult.

Therefore, Lin Shan wants to take this opportunity to improve his strength to deal with possible dangers in the future.

Hard work pays off. In the fifth year, the mysterious power, which is at the peak of Sequence 1 and is perfect to the point of perfection, finally began to promote itself.

Lin Shan successfully promoted to Sequence 0. He was no longer the Sequence 1 who was comparable to Sequence 0, but a true Sequence 0 strongman.

This promotion did not bring much power improvement, but it opened a new door for him. As long as he could survive, he could continue to become stronger and no longer limited to simple sublimation.

Of course, the sublimation improvement is still effective. Sublimation is the total amount of the current realm. If the total amount of sublimation exceeds the amount that the next realm should have, the realm promotion will become insignificant.

After the promotion, Lin Shan exuded a strong aura, which inadvertently affected the entire city.

The demons in the city felt this powerful pressure, trembling one by one, and their hearts were filled with fear and awe.

The Demon Duke hurried to Lin Shan's residence and pleaded respectfully, "Lord Lin Shan, please put away your magical powers, otherwise the demons in the city will not be able to bear it."

Lin Shan frowned slightly, then took a deep breath and gathered the momentum that was inadvertently emitted.

"Prepare to go to the underground gate. I'm leaving." Lin Shan said lightly.

"Yes, yes." Bargu nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved.

Two days later.

Bargu found Lin Shan again, and next to him stood the long-lost King Chong.

"Ready to go?" King Chong asked with a smile.

"Yes." Lin Shan nodded.

"I'll see you off," King Chong said with his hands behind his back, "I've sent many people down, but only a few have come back."

Lin Shan smiled slightly and said nothing more.

"Master Lin Shan, please, let's go to the location of the underground gate now." Bargu said respectfully.

Bargu led the way in front.

They walked through the winding corridors and steep stone steps, gradually going deeper underground.

There was a damp smell in the air, the stone walls were covered with moss and slippery mud, and occasionally the sound of water dripping could be heard, echoing in the empty underground cave.

"The submerged door is formed naturally," Bargu explained as he walked. "The current rule is that the more demons gather, the more likely it is to form a submerged door, just like the entrance and exit that nature automatically opens according to the connection between the upper and lower creatures. However, the submerged door is not absolutely safe. After entering the door, you need to dive a long distance before you can go out through another door."

"Where is the other door?" Lin Shan asked.

"It could be anywhere," Bargu replied. "The connection of the submerged door is not fixed. It may be a door that no one takes over, or it may be a door governed by a certain force."

They continued forward and finally came to a spacious underground hall.

In the center of the hall, a door with a flickering blue light stood there.

This door is made of irregular stones and vines, exuding a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

Lin Shan carefully observed the appearance of the submerged door.

The door frame is covered with complex runes and patterns, and those runes seem to be flowing and emitting a faint light.

Inside the door is endless darkness, like an abyss that cannot be seen at a glance.

"This is the hidden door," Bargu looked at Lin Shan and said, "Once you enter, you will start to dive until you find another door."

Lin Shan took a few steps forward and looked back at King Chong.

King Chong stood not far away, his eyes deep and complicated.

"Remember to find me when you come back." King Chong said softly.

Lin Shan nodded, and when his body touched the door frame, a strong suction pulled him in.

In an instant, Lin Shan felt that he was wrapped by an invisible force, and his body floated down lightly, as if falling into an endless abyss.

King Chong stood there, watching Lin Shan's figure gradually disappear into the darkness.

"Do you think he can come back?" King Chong asked.

Bargu replied respectfully, "If he didn't hold that card, he should be able to."

"I don't know what his expression will be when he knows the truth." King Chong seemed to think of something interesting, "They are all saving the world, but we demons won, will he be the second winner?"

"Compared with the predecessors of the demons, he is far behind." Bargu commented objectively.

"We can't see everything. Before the miracle happens, everyone thinks it's impossible." The King turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing.

In the darkness.

Lin Shan's perception became extremely vague.

There was silence all around, he didn't know how far he had dived, nor what was waiting for him ahead.

This endless darkness made him feel extremely oppressive, like a drowning man, struggling desperately but to no avail.

Suddenly, an instinctive sense of danger came to his mind, and Lin Shan's heart tightened suddenly. He knew that in this darkness, any negligence could be fatal.

He tried to concentrate, but in this endless darkness, his five senses seemed to be completely deprived and he could not perceive anything.

The sense of danger was getting closer and closer, as if something was going to swallow him.

Lin Shan calmed down, groping in the dark like a blind man, every step was full of danger, and if he was not careful, he would be swallowed by the cold breath.

He kept changing directions and tried his best to avoid the dangerous breath. He could feel his breathing getting faster and faster, and his heartbeat was beating his chest like a drumbeat.

"Help me avoid danger." Lin Shan made a wish to the magic box.

The next moment, a strange breath wrapped around him and he quickly dived.

With the intervention of the magic box, the road became smooth.

Until a ray of white light appeared at the end below.

Having lost his five senses, Lin Shan also lost his sense of time. Perhaps a long time had passed, but for Lin Shan it was just a moment.

This was the first time he had felt a color since entering the ‘Qianmen’.

The hazy white light also slightly illuminated the scenery of the space above.

Those pairs of gray eyes stared at Lin Shan.

Finally, Lin Shan’s fingers touched the white light, and he felt a warm force pouring into his body, as if the coldness in the darkness was instantly dispelled.

Then, his body was pulled by a powerful force and gradually left the darkness.

When Lin Shan looked back again, there was a completely different Qianmen behind him.

He stood in a strange and peculiar environment, surrounded by a faint mist, as if the whole world was shrouded in a layer of mist.

The ground was covered with strange plants, which emitted a faint fluorescence, like will-o’-the-wisp dancing in the dark.

The ‘Qianmen’ was located in the wilderness, with no trace of civilization around.
