After being pierced, the cold reality and pain once again enveloped Chen Ling... The good news was that he didn't leave nothing behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saved the lives of the people he cherished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chaotic mess of bodies collapsed on the desolate ruins. Their breathing had gradually stabilized, but they didn't wake up immediately, instead remaining in a coma...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Ruyu, Luan Mei, Wen Renyou, Mo Jue... The senior brothers and sisters of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path were all still perfectly fine. To Chen Ling, this was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unprecedented exhaustion surged into Chen Ling's mind. He staggered to turn his body, just about to leave...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sleeptalking-like voice sounded from behind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly kill it... kill the Calamity of Mockery... it's too terrifying, it killed too many people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the Calamity of Mockery doesn't die... humanity will perish sooner or later...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's footsteps paused slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked back, only to see the comatose Scholar's face incomparably pale, murmuring to himself as if having a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whimpering cold wind brushed past the ruins of the Realm, blowing the Theatrical Robe to flutter. That bright vermilion stood alone on the earth. The apricot-red eyes silently observed everything. It was unclear whether it was a feeling of brokenness or sorrow, spreading with the swaying of the earrings...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's sacrifice had no Audience. The people of the world would only know the terror when the Calamity of Mockery destroyed the world. But who would remember the Thespian Chen Ling who salvaged everything?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Junior Brother... it's time to eat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Ruyu's murmuring voice sounded indistinctly in the wind, \"Why did you only bring a basin... If Fifth Brother sees, he'll laugh at you again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling blanked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle breeze brushed past the tips of Chen Ling's hair, and a faint smile surfaced on the corners of his mouth... He shook his head self-deprecatingly, his entire person seeming to have relaxed a lot, turning around and walking towards the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How the people of the world viewed him, what did it have to do with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones Chen Ling truly cared about were simply those by his side...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking stumbling steps, Chen Ling passed through the comatose bodies all over the ground, heading straight in a certain direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God-Sacrificing Dance had ended, so logically speaking Chen Ling could also rest, but he didn't just collapse like this... Before that, there were still some things he had to figure out clearly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough cough... cough cough cough...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Ling walked, he coughed violently. His figure swayed unnaturally, as if he would collapse onto the ground in the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Sun Bumian and the others to the side immediately wanted to come over and support him, but before they could run far, Chen Ling slowly stopped his footsteps in front of a certain stretch of nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling took a deep breath, his gaze seemingly passing through the nothingness, looking towards a certain figure... He bowed slightly in salute:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple Chen Ling... pays respects to Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian and the others immediately blanked out in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, two seconds, three seconds... After a long silence, a curtain in the nothingness was slowly pulled open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure stepped out from within, the spotless red Theatrical Robe gently brushing in the wind. The face of a youth with bright eyes and white teeth appeared just like this before Chen Ling's eyes, his expression somewhat complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you discover your Master?\" the Red King couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling kept his head lowered, not answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now when he activated the God-Sacrificing Dance and entered the state of \"God\", nothing could hide before his eyes. He could see the bridge collapsing in another space, so naturally he could also see that figure always hiding in the dark, watching the fire from across the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Master was always here... why didn't you make a move for such a long time just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's rhetorical question made the Red King's eyes narrow slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if the Calamity of Mockery is strong, Master, you can't defeat it... but saving First Senior Brother shouldn't be difficult, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling spoke again, his voice hoarse and bitter. He didn't dare to look up at the Red King's eyes, because he was worried... worried about seeing the calmness and indifference he least wanted to see in his Master's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red King was full of secrets. Just how strong he was, even Chen Ling as a disciple didn't know. Even if the Calamity of Mockery was the natural enemy of the Path of the Actor, as long as the Red King wanted to, saving Ning Ruyu from its hands was absolutely not difficult at all... He even had a way to suppress the Calamity of Mockery and rescue everyone here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't do anything. From the start of the war, he just hid in the nothingness like this, observing everything like an outsider...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, like a cold chess player behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red King sighed deeply. With his hands behind his back, he calmly looked at Chen Ling:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Six, what do you want to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was all this also within your plans?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling couldn't bear it anymore. He fiercely raised his head, his eyes staring tightly at the Red King's eyes. \"The Silver King stole my sense of self, making the Calamity of Mockery lose control... Then you killed him, letting my consciousness return to my body, starting the slaughter with the Calamity of Mockery...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You allowed First Senior Brother and the other senior brothers and sisters to be slaughtered by the Calamity of Mockery, just to use their deaths to stimulate me, making me desperately resist the Calamity of Mockery, ultimately snatching back control of this body from its hands...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You used everyone's lives to set up a situation... a situation that could make the Calamity of Mockery, this natural enemy of the Path of the Actor, more 'obedient', a situation that would make the Calamity of Mockery fall deeper into your control...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Ling's words fell, the air fell into a deathly silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't an inquiry, but an interrogation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Little Junior Brother of the Ancient Vault of the Drama Path interrogating his Master; it was the Dusk Society's Six of Hearts interrogating the Red King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was Sun Bumian, Zhao Yi, or Han Meng... Regardless of whether they were Dusk Society members or not, all three of them held their breath at this moment, waiting for the Red King's answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Chen Ling's sharp and painful gaze, the Red King was silent for a long time, the amiability in his eyes gradually receding...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Replacing it, was a calmness like a winter lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\" The Red King spoke indifferently. \"I intentionally let the Silver King go, and I also intentionally allowed Ning Ruyu to die... If you were a bit later, Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother would also die. Only if they died could you Burning Your Boats and truly start to control the Calamity of Mockery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red King paused for a moment, pointing at the place where Chen Ling just performed the God-Sacrificing Dance:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Facts have proven that your Master was right... Didn't you do very well just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's face instantly turned ghastly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling had always been looking at the Red King's eyes, not missing any detail. He was very clear that the Red King was telling the truth...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand raised trembling, tightly clutching his chest. There, a Curse Marking was faintly aching, as if someone had forcefully smashed Chen Ling's heart to pieces, making his empty chest throb with extreme pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is controlling the Calamity of Mockery... that important?\" Chen Ling gritted his teeth tightly, asking hoarsely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red King's answer was without hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Controlling the Calamity of Mockery is more important than anything else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1350,"2026-05-30T14:16:31.029Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","9d5265ff7e144a238846552ae19221e40c0a9a06e6e5974008ab5ac131787029","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1080","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1078",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
