"You … saw it …" The middle-aged man said softly, as if he was talking to him, but also as if he was talking to himself.
"Saw what?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and was about to chase after him. Suddenly, he saw the man's body turn into grey fog and slowly dissipate.
He could not sense this grey fog at all, just like when he first saw those strange Sky Demons …
"Envoy of Adijacques … in the end, you still chose this step …" The man's voice slowly dissipated, as if it had never existed.
"What the hell?" Lu Sheng looked at the man dissipating, and felt that he had missed out on something extremely regrettable.
But he could not tell what it was.
He remembered the favor of the Evil God Realm, the Proof of Dominance that he obtained after he grew up in the Evil God Realm and became an Evil God.
After obtaining the Proof of Dominance, he often felt that the Evil God Realm was silently supporting him from behind.
And just now, when he faced the middle-aged man with the lamp, he actually had a similar feeling as when he obtained the Proof of Dominance.
At this moment, the man had completely dissipated.
Streaks of grey light flowed around him. Lu Sheng looked carefully and recognized that these were people moving at an extremely fast speed.
"Looks like the time I'm in isn't right. Let me adjust and slow down. "
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and started to control his Soul Power to affect his senses.
Senses determined perception, and in the dimension of the universe, there were many things that could only be truly touched when one's perception reached a certain level.
And with contact, there would be exchange of information. And it would affect each other …
Lu Sheng kept adjusting the speed of his perception.
The theater in front of him gradually became slower and slower, and so did the streaks of light.
Slowly, the streaks of light turned into grey shadows.
The grey shadows gradually became corporeal, and turned into living people wearing all kinds of clothes.
Lu Sheng stood among these people.
It was as if he was invisible, and no one noticed him. No one noticed him.
Everyone slowly walked past him. They unconsciously avoided him.
Lu Sheng knew that this was because their perception had not reached the level where they could detect him.
Now, he was only able to see everything in front of him because he had temporarily lowered his perception to this level.
"So … what is this place?"
He carefully observed the passersby.
A couple walked past him on his right. The woman had wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but she had a serene smile on her face. The husband was very courteous. He was dressed in a short, white trench coat that looked like that of an aristocrat. He held a short, silver cane in his hand.
There were tiny words engraved on the short staff: Yadi Dynasty Debbie.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng instantly understood the situation he was in.
The Debbius Family of the Yadi Dynasty was a family that had been completely exterminated over a thousand years ago for committing heinous crimes.
Now, he had actually appeared here openly.
Either this was a world of the dead, but Lu Sheng didn't sense any Death Qi or Soul Power.
Either that, or because of time, his perception had temporarily returned to a scene from a thousand years ago.
He watched as the couple slowly walked past him and left in the opposite direction.
Watching the two disappear at the end of the corridor, Lu Sheng slowly strolled around the brand new theater.
The guests who came to watch the show, the troupe who was preparing to perform, and the cleaners, maids, and servants could be seen everywhere.
There were also loud cheers and applause coming from the theater from time to time.
Lu Sheng was like a ghost, slowly traversing this area.
No one could see him. Similarly, no one could touch him.
The theater was very lively. The people were dressed in strange outfits from a thousand years ago, and they were casually greeting each other.
He then walked towards the theater's main hall.
Very quickly, Lu Sheng stepped into the theater's main hall once again.
This time, the hall was silent. The people coming and going had not yet started the official performance.
And behind the stage, there was a faint yellow glow.
Lu Sheng looked in that direction.
"This glow …" He felt like he had seen this glow somewhere before.
He walked around the stage, and when no one was there, he walked backstage.
Backstage, a group of men dressed in clown costumes were hurriedly putting makeup on their faces.
Lu Sheng walked around their room, and went deep into the backstage.
Finally, in a storeroom backstage, Lu Sheng found the source of the yellow glow.
A brass door more than four meters high was shining with a bright and soft glow, covering the entire area of the surrounding room.
What surprised Lu Sheng was not the door, but the way it existed.
Like translucent, the door faintly exuded a sense of illusion and unreality.
He slowly walked to the door. Outside the window of the storeroom on the right, the soft sunset light shone in, and he could faintly hear the men with mustaches playing on the grass outside.
Not children.
It was a mustache …
Lu Sheng looked through the window and saw a group of men with mustaches at the feet of an oversized fat lady, shouting to listen to a story.
His mouth twitched, and he looked at the fat lady more than three meters tall. She was wearing a chubby pink apron, with golden jewelry on her head, and looked very kind.
Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at the door in front of him again.
Click.
All of a sudden, the door automatically opened up a crack.
Then the door slowly opened. It revealed a patch of darkness inside.
In the darkness, a hunchbacked old merman with greenish-gray skin slowly swayed its wrinkled black fishtail. It looked up from the darkness and gave Lu Sheng a horrifying smile.
"Welcome, young man."
Countless languages and voices rang at the same time.
Lu Sheng could hear the Language of E from the voices, and it was part of his mother tongue from Yellow Springs Planet in the Demonic Realm.
His heart skipped a beat, and he focused on the old merman before him.
She wore a tattered gray robe, and there was a thick layer of dirt around her collar as if she had not washed it for a long time.
Her withered hands were holding a black bottle tightly. There was a strange pattern of a scale on the bottle that looked like a worm.
"Who are you?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
The old merman's bark-like face wrinkled, as if it was smiling.
"Too many people have asked me that. However, I've also forgotten what my original name is. You can just call me Merman. "
"Then, what's your purpose in appearing before me?" Lu Sheng asked cautiously.
This was the God of Destruction's Planet. His tremendous soul power was being depleted at every moment. Any living creature that could live here for a long time would not be easy to deal with.
Hence, he decided to test it first.
"It's not me who appeared before you, young man." The old merman smiled. "The Proof of the Hegemon you possess … is one of the most precious items in the world … You can use it to exchange for anything you want from me. As long as you're willing, anything can be … "
"The Proof of the Hegemon?" Lu Sheng was stunned, and then shook his head. "Then, can I become invincible in the universe as well?"
"Of course … However, to reach that height, one Proof of the Hegemon isn't enough," the old merman said with a smile.
Lu Sheng stared at her carefully, trying to detect if she was lying.
However, no matter how he used his psychological guidance and the Heavenly Devil's Evil God aura, the old merman before him did not seem to exist at all.
It was as if the old merman before him was just an illusory shadow.
"Then … What about my perseverance?"
Lu Sheng asked again. He had heard that some almighty beings could use such illusory things to trade. If the old merman before him was really such an almighty, perhaps he could test her.
The old merman's face twitched slightly.
"I'm sorry, even your perseverance isn't enough …"
"Then, what about my courage?" Lu Sheng asked seriously.
"I'm sorry, it's still not enough." The smile on the old merman's face slowly faded.
"But I think it's enough." Lu Sheng looked at her seriously. "Courage and perseverance run through a person's life from the beginning to the end. I relied on these two to get to where I am today. "
"Is that so … But it's still regrettable … They're not worth such a high price …" The old merman shook her head slightly.
"Also, let me tell you a piece of news in advance …" The old merman's face slowly revealed a mysterious smile. "The Void Guardian here has already sensed your existence. Soon, he will personally come to eliminate you, an unstable factor. "
"And then?"
"In other words, you still have a very short time. If you can't trade for enough power from me, then you will be killed by the Void Guardian, your soul will be completely devoured, and you will become a new Void Guardian."
The old merman laughed strangely.
"Void Guardian …" It was the first time Lu Sheng had heard of this.
"Yes … They are the guardians at the edge of the void, the embodiment of destruction that strangles all existences. They are indestructible, and the only way to eliminate them is not to kill them, but to fill them … "The old merman slowly retreated, his body gradually fading into the darkness.
"Although I thank you for telling me this news, I still want to ask one last question. What is this place? "Lu Sheng quickly asked.
"Here? A barren land … The illusory gap between nothingness and existence … "The old merman laughed strangely.
"In this place, existence and non-existence are a dynamic process."
The old merman raised a finger.
"Just like me, in fact, I only exist in your sight, and no other existence can see me … But can you say that I don't exist?"
Her figure gradually faded into the darkness, and the brass door slowly closed, completely disappearing in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng quietly stood in the storeroom, staring at the place where the door disappeared.
There was a small, half-burnt candle left on the ground.
The flame of the candle seemed to have just been extinguished, and it was still emitting faint green smoke.
He walked over, picked up the candle, and kept it in his pocket.
"Bam!!"
Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps came from the ground outside the theater.
Lu Sheng suddenly raised his head, and looked above.
He saw that the entire theater's ceiling was suddenly grabbed by a large golden hand, and like a lid, it ruthlessly tore down from above.
Outside, the gray sky mixed with the strong wind rushed in.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the theater disappeared. Only Lu Sheng was left standing in the storeroom backstage.
He looked up at the sky, and there was a huge flying dragon with tiger stripes all over its body. It was currently slowly twisting its two huge dragon heads, one black and one white, and staring at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng noticed that there were huge black holes on this flying dragon's back, and these black holes were constantly devouring and absorbing everything around them.
Air, dust, flying rocks, and even light could not escape the fate of being devoured.
From afar, it looked like there were black and gray vortexes on the flying dragon's back, constantly absorbing everything around them.
Lu Sheng raised his head, and looked at the flying dragon's four eyes.
The flying dragon was stunned, and its movements seemed to have obviously stopped.
Then, it let out a low roar.
Whoosh!!
In the huge vibration and sound waves, Lu Sheng had just gotten into position when he saw the strange two-headed dragon turn around and run.
In just a few breaths, he could no longer see any trace of the strange dragon.
