If the Red King merely used him as a tool to suppress the Calamity of Mockery, then now that he and the Red King had fallen out, they should have drawn a clear line between them. Now the whole world knew that he was the Calamity of Mockery, yet the Dusk Society still recognized him as the Six of Hearts, which would undoubtedly worsen the world's prejudice against the Dusk Society even further...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely enough, the Red King hadn't expelled him from the Dusk Society. Did he forget? Did he simply not care about this minor detail? Or was it something else?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, you mentioned something happened to the Integration Faction?\" Chu Muyun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling briefly recounted everything that had happened. After Chu Muyun finished listening, he let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally thought that the Integration Faction should have been able to dodge this one, but to think they were still dragged into it. If this is the case, their situation is extremely awkward...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Integration Faction wasn't recognized by humanity, nor were they accepted by the Calamities. They were caught between the two major camps, facing a dead end whether they went left or right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Integration Faction couldn't possibly defect to the Calamities, so their only way out is to draw closer to the Human Domains.\" Chen Ling paused for a moment. \"...This is also my goal in coming to the South Sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the latter half of the sentence, Chen Ling keenly caught onto something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you not know? Back then, the decision to expel the Integration Faction from the Human Domains was spearheaded by the Lord of the South Sea. Moreover, among the Nine Great Realms, the anti-Fusionist propaganda is the strongest in the South Sea Domain. Here, even the youngest children treat Fusionists as terrifying monsters, placing them on the same level as drug trafficking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling immediately recalled the Physician from earlier. After realizing Little Peach was a Fusionist, it was as if he had seen a ghost; that was a fear instinct carved deep into his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just had to pick the most difficult Domain...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If... I mean if, if I could convince the Lord of the South Sea?\" Chen Ling proposed tentatively. \"To arrange a place in the most remote corner of the South Sea Domain and quietly send the children of the Integration Faction there without alerting the public. Even strict lockdowns would be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the anti-Fusionist atmosphere in the South Sea Domain, getting the public to accept the Integration Faction was virtually impossible. Since that was the case, he could only start with Chu Changqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Muyun thought seriously for a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's still impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this were during peacetime, it might be feasible, but right now it's wartime.\" Chu Muyun answered solemnly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Five Great Realms aren't stupid. They guessed that World-Ending Calamities would definitely attack the Domains. Led by three Demigods—the Lord of the South Sea, the Lord of the Red Dust, and the Ancestor of the Pu Family—they have already formed a Domain Alliance. Any resolution that could potentially endanger the fate of humanity needs not only the nod of the Lord of the South Sea and the others, but also a vote by the Councilors of the Alliance Council.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Councilors?\" This was the first time Chen Ling had heard this term. \"What Councilors?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are the power holders of each Domain. Most of them are politicians, and they are also Ordinary Persons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling found it somewhat ridiculous. \"In this era, why do the Nine Monarchs still have to listen to Ordinary Persons? Let politicians control the lifelines of the Domains?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Politics is different.\" Chu Muyun shook his head. \"In the final analysis, politics is the management of people by people. For example, who sets the traffic rules of a Domain? Who has the final say on urban planning? How is Domain trade organized? How to encourage the populace to have more children and work harder? This is a vast field of knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the Nine Monarchs, in the final analysis, are just scientists. Those who could step onto the Divine Pathways are also people who have achieved the ultimate in their respective fields. Such people usually spend massive amounts of time and energy immersed in their own domains. Do you think scientists and artists would know how to govern a Domain well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Therefore, since ancient times, politics and the military have been separated. Even in the most martial nation, you can't demand its officials to necessarily be great generals capable of fighting a hundred men alone. It's currently wartime. Besides resisting Calamities externally, how to stabilize the people inside the Domains during this period and ensure the supply of resources is also a highly crucial link. So even the Lord of the South Sea has to listen to the opinions of the Alliance Council...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Nine Monarchs are leaders, not dictators.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Chu Muyun suddenly remembered something and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Except the Lord of Wuji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The moment that guy woke up, he slaughtered all the politicians in his Domain and single-handedly controlled the operation of the entire Domain... You saw the result as well. During that time, the residents of the Wuji Domain did not have a good life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling frowned in deep thought for a long time. \"So, how many Councilors are there in total?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are 36 in total. Among them, 4 are from the Aurora Domain, 2 are from the Red Dust Domain, there are none from Ruoshui and Wuji, and the other Five Great Realms have 6 each.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this strange population ratio, Chen Ling was first stunned, but then he realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ruoshui Domain had none because there were no survivors when it was destroyed; the Wuji Domain had none because they were all killed by the Lord of Wuji... The Red Dust Domain suffered the attack from the Wuji Domain, so their politicians likely suffered heavy casualties too, leaving only two... What surprised Chen Ling the most was that the Aurora Domain actually still had 4 Councilors alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about it, it made sense. Before the Aurora Domain was destroyed, a train packed with Domain higher-ups successfully escaped. These 4 Councilors were probably among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of the Alliance Council, there's a very interesting matter that I believe you'll be interested in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Muyun seemed to remember something, and a smile surfaced at the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About half a year ago, when the Alliance Council was just established, they specially held a vote... regarding you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's eyebrows raised slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year ago was roughly the time he exposed his identity as the Calamity of Mockery and left the Wuji Domain... He could roughly guess what the content of this vote was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The incident in the Wuji Domain caused too big of a stir. All the higher-ups of the Domains basically knew that you were the Calamity of Mockery... Someone said you saved everyone, said that even though you are the Calamity of Mockery, you retained your Human Nature. They defended you and requested the Human Domains to cancel the wanted warrant on you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Out of 36 Councilors, 35 voted against, and 1 abstained.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was not surprised by this result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly leaned back against the chair while drinking coffee, speaking unhurriedly, \"There's nothing interesting about that... I'm already used to it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Aurora Domain, Wen Shilin had already forwarded his notes to other Domains. If they had read those notes, the higher-ups of the Human Domains would know that Chen Ling wasn't the instigator, nor did he murder the Lord of the Aurora. But in the end, Chen Ling still became the scapegoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The interesting part hasn't started yet.\" Chu Muyun smiled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the final voting result came out, the person who made the proposal publicly stated they did not accept this result...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He conducted a 'Judgment' on all thirty-six Councilors in public at the Alliance Council's court.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1365,"2026-05-30T14:16:35.504Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","c564f67554c9552c58a1f68548e97e290fd74d4536dbcb9c547b77d6ed09f485","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1231","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1229",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
