I'm not a drama god

Chapter 1683 Mystery and Blessing

"Moreover, if I want to boost my combat power for a short period of time... I should still have a way." Chen Ling looked towards a certain direction in the Gray Realm. "Perhaps, I can even briefly unleash demigod-level combat power..."

"...Then this is the only way." The Grey King knew this was no time to hesitate; every second they wasted could reduce their chances of successfully restarting the world. She said in a deep voice,

"Once we kill Ji Zai and obtain the foundation of the Witchcraft Dao, we will immediately send someone to deliver it to you."

"Ah."

The deaths of Hongchenjun and Wujijun on the front lines were undoubtedly devastating news. The Twilight Society had to disrupt all its current plans, and the restart process, which had been progressing steadily, suddenly became unpredictable.

What are the chances of Chen Ling winning against an opponent that even Lord Hongchen and Lord Wuji could not defeat?

Without the Red King in charge, what are the chances that the members of the Twilight Society will kill a Cataclysmic Calamity?

But neither Chen Ling nor the other members had any choice at this moment. No matter how dire the situation was, they had to fight for that glimmer of hope without hesitation... They could no longer turn back.

"...I'm leaving this place to you." Chen Ling looked at Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua, her brows furrowed with seriousness.

"Don't worry." Sun Bumian smiled. "I've calculated it. This trip will be very auspicious! Even if I die... I will have someone personally deliver the foundation of the Witchcraft Dao to you."

"Hongxin, you need to be careful," Jiang Xiaohua said with concern.

Chen Ling's gaze was somewhat complicated. He knew this might be the last time they would meet, but fortunately, they had all taken their own poison. As long as they died from poisoning, it would be considered that they had killed the souls with their own hands... [Abyss Ghost Degree] would summon their ghosts back to their paper umbrellas.

"Alright, stop being so sentimental." Sun Bumian seemed to see through Chen Ling's complicated feelings and waved his hand, saying, "Anyway, we'll meet again... Just like you said, we're just wrapping up our scenes in this play for now."

Chen Ling nodded slightly. Now was indeed not the time to say goodbye... In any case, they should kill Lingxu Jun first and then make sure to restart the game.

Chen Ling said a brief goodbye to the group and then prepared to leave.

at this time,

Red Heart 7, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke up:

"and many more!"

Chen Ling turned around and looked back in confusion.

With a determined look, Red Heart 7 walked straight up to Chen Ling, and, with a gamble in mind, pulled out a tattered, empty bowl from his pocket...

Then he shook it vigorously in front of Chen Ling.

"?"

Even Chen Ling was momentarily confused. "What do you mean?"

"Please have mercy, Lord Red King!" Red 7 pleaded, shaking his broken bowl. "I'm about to die, I don't want to be a poor ghost!"

Chen Ling:......

Chen Ling found Red Heart 7 a bit puzzling. Although he knew that this guy's ability was probably related to begging, he wasn't quite sure about the specifics... He couldn't tell for a moment whether this guy was doing something abstract or was really asking for money.

Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, then took out a gold brick from his pocket and dropped it into the broken bowl of the Seven of Hearts with a clink. The heavy weight almost made the Seven of Hearts drop the bowl and the gold brick to the ground.

"I don't know where all your money went... but if the world can be rebooted, I'll give you a raise."

Chen Ling patted his shoulder with pity and turned to leave.

Red Heart 7 stared at the heavy gold in the bowl for a moment, then his eyes gleamed with an unprecedented light!

A mysterious power surged within him, and he shouted loudly in the direction Chen Ling had left:

"Thank you very much, Lord Red King!!"

"May Heaven and Earth grant Lord Red King the best of luck on his journey! May he be invincible!!"

……

Chen Ling could no longer hear what Jin Fugui was shouting.

After saying goodbye to the group, he immediately used his top speed and sped off in a certain direction.

The direction he was heading was the direction of the Spirit Void Realm... and between the Forbidden Sea and the Spirit Void Realm, there was another place he would pass through.

That was the place where Chen Ling placed her last hope.

After acquiring the [Breaking the Wall] ability, Chen Ling was able to transform his body into two dimensions, making his speed unimaginable. He was like a shadow that swept across the land, silent and covering thousands of miles in an instant.

Chen Ling kept calculating the speed and time in her mind, guessing how quickly Lingxu Jun was recovering, and so much time passed...

His shadow rushed into the ruins of a city that belonged to another world, nestled deep within the Gray Realm.

The embers of civilization.

Entering the Ashes of Civilization for the third time, Chen Ling was already familiar with the place. In his two-dimensional state, he ignored all dangers and the space to explore, stepping into the deepest area.

At the same time, a figure with six gray wings descended from the sky.

"Brother."

Chen Ling stepped out of the shadows, his body returning to its three-dimensional state. His red and black theatrical robe fluttered in the wind, and his gaze was extremely solemn.

Shen Qingzhu looked him over in surprise. "You're already at the eighth level? That's fast!"

"Eighth rank... is far from enough."

Chen Ling gave a bitter smile.

"That's true." Shen Qingzhu seemed to have guessed something. "The aura of the Crimson Star is approaching again. The third return is imminent. You should be preparing for the restart... Is it going smoothly?"

“…It’s not going very smoothly.”

Chen Ling truthfully told Shen Qingzhu about the current situation, and Shen Qingzhu's eyes showed a hint of surprise after listening.

"This is the third time they've returned, and there's still Jiu Jun alive... This time, the humans are indeed more tenacious than before."

Shen Qingzhu had experienced several reboots. As far as he knew, whether it was the fourth or fifth generation world, by the time the timeline advanced to the third approach of the Crimson Star, humanity had already been almost wiped out...

All nine rulers perished, and the entire realm was destroyed. At most, a few scattered humans remain, struggling to survive in the Gray Realm.

Therefore, by this point in time, the conditions for the previous Twilight Society to restart the world have all been met; the only missing piece is the opportunity for the return of the Red Star.

But this time, not only were some realms preserved, but even a Spirit Void Lord with explosive combat power stood firm...

"You came to me because you want me to kill Lingxu Jun for you?" Shen Qingzhu guessed Chen Ling's intentions.

"If possible, that would be best."

Shen Qingzhu sighed softly.

"...No way?" Chen Ling's heart sank.

Shen Qingzhu didn't answer immediately, but instead asked, "Didn't you notice anything different about this place this time?"

Chen Ling was slightly taken aback. He had entered in two-dimensional form and was so focused on finding Shen Qingzhu that he hadn't really noticed the changes around him...

When he turned to examine the embers of civilization again, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
