Because their colors were too dim, Chen Ling almost didn't notice their existence... They were like the moon's shadow occasionally visible during the day, faint and lightless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Gray World, the sun could indeed be seen, and there was undoubtedly only one sun. Although distant, it wouldn't be this dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when had the sun become five?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep going forward,\" Chen Ling immediately dismissed the thought of turning back and gave the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a premonition that the direction he was taking was right... There must be some unusual place nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, before coming here, Chen Ling hadn't held much hope. After all, the last time the Jiangtian Sect General Headquarters witnessed the Angel of Silence was many years ago. The probability of the other party staying in the same place for so many years was too small. Coming out this time, he was already prepared to return without any results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Chen Ling's urging, Wu Yi's speed was once again raised to the extreme. Strangely, no matter how far he moved, those five suns seemed like textures in a game, always maintaining their distance from them, giving a hazy sense of unreality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at this moment, the grayish-white earth in the distance began to show a downward sloping trend, and the further they went, the greater the angle of the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling spoke, and Wu Yi stopped immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling stood on Wu Yi's back and looked around... The location they were currently in was like the edge of an incomparably huge meteorite crater. No matter if looking left or right, the end of this giant crater couldn't be seen. The earth neatly caved downwards, and not far below, the faint outlines of unknown objects were sketched out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling couldn't estimate how big this giant crater was, but it definitely exceeded any Human Domain. Could it be that just as he thought, he had found the hidden territory of the Seventh World Destroyer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is it, do you sense any dangerous Aura?\" Chen Ling asked Wu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Yi's head swayed slightly, as if sensing the surrounding situation, and finally shook its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go then, we'll go down and take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Chen Ling was all alone, he might not dare to venture deep into here by himself. But now with Wu Yi by his side, combined, they could be considered two Rank 8 Combat Powers... With this lineup, even if they really trespassed into another Calamity's territory, they could still retreat unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Yi brought Chen Ling gradually closer to the bottom of the giant crater, the faint outlines in the distance finally became clear bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling's pupils contracted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outlines in the distance were not a mountain forest, not rocks, much less a mirage hallucination... It was a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, the ruins of a city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grayish-white substances resembling embers fluttered down from the sky, like a dead and gloomy snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless broken walls and ruins were scattered crossingly on the barren earth. Towering high-rise buildings that originally stood upright had sunk into the earth, leaving only a few top sections exposed. But just looking at this corner, it appeared extremely majestic and grand, like some sort of landmark building from the past...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The winding asphalt road surface had long been cracked and broken. By the roadside, streetlights similarly buried underground could occasionally be seen. The bleak cold wind blew across the dead ruins, letting out bursts of whimpering and sobbing sounds, also blowing the fine crushed residue all over the ground into gentle rolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Audience Expectation Value +3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Current Expectation Value: 42%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the outline of the ruins appeared in the distance, Chen Ling's Audience Expectation Value, which had already grown over the past few days due to the arrival of Jian Changsheng and the others, broke through 40 again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could there be city ruins in this kind of place??\" Chen Ling stood on the centipede's back, his brows furrowed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was very certain that humans had never left a Domain here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as he walked into the ruins, more and more suspicious points appeared in Chen Ling's mind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These buildings didn't look like they originally belonged here, because whether it was the density of the high-rise buildings or the planning of the streets, it was extremely unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four high-rise buildings pierced through each other, like knotted threads; some spacious roads were even only two or three meters long, and the end of the road was actually a twisted concrete wall; streetlights were stuck between floors; manhole covers were put over lightning rods...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything, just everything, looked as if some kind of power had condensed several cities together, crumpled them into a ball, and then thrown them here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't even the strangest part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Ling picked up a street sign that was long covered in dust, he suddenly discovered that he actually didn't recognize the writing on it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The writing here was very similar to Earth's, but also different. It was like a self-created language generated by AI; amidst the familiarity, there was a powerless sense of unfamiliarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a civilization completely foreign to Chen Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling stood blankly amidst the ruins, his gaze slowly sweeping across his surroundings...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought suddenly appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that here...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is a former Gray World civilization?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Gray World, had there also once been cities? Had there also been human civilization??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along, Chen Ling had regarded the Gray World as another world filled with monsters, containing only highly aggressive creatures and endless gray... Not just Chen Ling, the Human Domains had also always thought so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was in the Integration Faction, Teacher Ye had also mentioned some niche theories. For instance, since the Gray World was regarded as a parallel world, why couldn't there be humans inside? Why couldn't a civilization emerge like on Earth? Even in the early stages of the Great Cataclysm, some people specifically attempted to venture deep into the Gray World to look for the native inhabitants... But in the end, not a single one of them returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this theory was gradually falsified by people, disappearing from the public's sight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was also very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If humans existed in the Gray World, why hadn't even a single human skeleton been seen after hundreds of years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Chen Ling witnessed the city ruins before him with his own eyes, this theory surged in his mind again... If this city was truly a civilization born from within the Gray World, then ninety percent of the Human Domains' current research on the Gray World would have to be overturned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If human civilization truly originally existed in the Gray World, then how did they disappear?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the Gray World really originally gray?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calamities... where did they come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or digging deeper...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himself, what exactly was he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One question after another surged in Chen Ling's mind. The Great Crimson Theatrical Robe stood blankly amidst the twisted city ruins, like a sculpture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ashes resembling snowflakes fluttered down onto his shoulders. The entire ruins seemed to have been pressed with a mute button; the dead silence was enough to make one's scalp tingle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of this city ruins,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure with six gray wings on its back silently opened its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-05-30T14:16:38.252Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","b232e9d372bb095ee597830f5f1b0281c9dd77e6f8f8ad14d27d8c6122371b1a","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1336","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1334",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
