Furthermore, Chen Ling didn't know whether those captured souls still had a chance to regain their freedom, or if they had completely vanished...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a Pandora's box. If it fell into the hands of someone who couldn't restrain their desires, they could probably rely on capturing a massive number of souls to become a complete Rank 9 within just a month. They could then pre-emptively kill the other Nine Monarchs and rule the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By that time, humanity would face extinction or become a single person's plaything, even without the Gray World invasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Xiao was different. He directly refused to continue capturing souls... He believed that even without capturing those innocent souls, he could still become a complete Rank 9 Lord of the Aurora step by step. And it seemed he truly was the first among the Nine Monarchs to become a complete form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Aurora Domain was on the brink of annihilation, the Lord of the Aurora, Yang Xiao, didn't choose the 'Reappearance' plan, which involved killing a massive number of civilians to capture their souls. Instead, he willingly embraced the 'Hand of Salvation', transforming his own soul into an aurora to nurture and protect his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said Tongzhou was the first and the last time; he said his aurora would exist only to protect... and he truly achieved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling felt very fortunate. Fortunately, the one who acquired this ability was him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling leaned lightly against the railing on the deck, the hem of his theatrical robe fluttering in the sea breeze. Looking at Yang Xiao's face illuminated by the distant sea of fire, he spoke from the bottom of his heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Having you is humanity's good fortune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned. He seemingly hadn't expected Chen Ling to suddenly elevate him to such a height. For a moment, he didn't know how to reply and could only smile shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding the railing, he slowly sat down on the deck, his hair whipping wildly in the sea breeze, his expression indescribably exhausted... He lowered his head and pulled a wallet from his pocket. Tucked inside the wallet was a photograph: a girl with a beaming smile was holding his arm, flashing a large 'peace' sign at the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao seemed lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enduring a wave of nuclear strikes, suffering the pain of losing his wife, witnessing millions of lives vanish in an instant, and then merging with those souls to single-handedly take on the Seventh Fleet... It all happened so suddenly. Before he even had time to grieve, trouble followed one after another...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity was fortunate to have the Lord of the Aurora, but the Lord of the Aurora had lost everything he ever had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My condolences,\" Chen Ling softly consoled upon seeing the photograph in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao kept his head lowered. After a long silence, he muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps they haven't disappeared... They are always with the aurora.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling nodded slightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May the aurora never fade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, minute by minute. The raging flames on the distant sea gradually died down, and the floating debris of the fleet sank into the ocean, as if nothing had ever happened... As the sun set in the west, only the two figures on the destroyer stood in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling slowly closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, he had already spent another month in the Ghost Mockery Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked straight into the destroyer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao didn't know what he was doing and simply sat quietly where he was. After a few minutes, Chen Ling came out carrying a pile of canned food, beef stew, and milkshakes he had dug up from somewhere, and began devouring them on the deck as if he had starved for a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao was somewhat bewildered. In his eyes, Chen Ling was just calmly talking to him a moment ago, and in the next second, he suddenly acted like a reincarnated starved ghost, frantically scavenging for food on the ship... This contrast and abruptness were somewhat baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Chen Ling ate, he suddenly asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If one day humanity faces an apocalyptic disaster, what will you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao didn't understand why Chen Ling suddenly brought this up, but he answered without much hesitation, \"Of course I'll do everything in my power to stop it... I think all humans would choose to do so, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah... humans should all make that choice.\" Chen Ling sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, Director Chen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao felt that Chen Ling was acting a bit strange today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yang Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's anyone left in this world who can save humanity... it's only you guys.\" Chen Ling looked at him seriously. \"You have to listen carefully to every word I'm about to say, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although confused, Yang Xiao still nodded heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling slowly recounted everything, basically telling him about the descent of the Gray World, the Six Great Extinctions, and the subsequent establishment of the Nine Monarchs' bases. Finally, he emphasized the Red Star's Return that would happen over three hundred years later, the characteristics of [Y-012], and the apocalyptic disaster humanity was about to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Ling's timeline, there were only two months left until the Red Star's Return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling didn't care whether the Human Domains lived or died, but he didn't want humanity to go extinct either... The generation 6 members, the Dusk Society, Han Meng, the Integration Faction, and so many others lived in the Human Domains. If humanity truly perished due to the Red Star's Return, everyone he cared about would also vanish completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, if the world truly was left with only a bunch of Calamity territories, wouldn't that mean he could never eat human food again? Where would his Expectation Value come from? Would he really have to survive by torturing those Poisonous Insects in the Ghost Mockery Abyss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was the king of the Ghost Mockery Abyss, a World-Ending Calamity in the eyes of humanity. He couldn't possibly step forward to save humanity. He knew very well that if he actually did, it wouldn't end well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, having humans save humans was the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Chen Ling's words, Yang Xiao was stunned for a full tens of seconds before coming back to his senses, his complexion somewhat pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Chen... every single one of these matters is too important. I can't... I can't do this alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not.\" Chen Ling paused for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you're not the only Monarch in this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go talk to your colleagues. At this time, most of them are still at a loss. Someone has to take the lead and make them realize their abilities and responsibilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was speaking the truth. If Yang Xiao hadn't been following him around, he probably still wouldn't know how he got his abilities, what Red Star Aspiration Power was, what a Calamity was, or where this disaster was ultimately heading...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Monarchs needed to be awakened. The earlier they woke up, the greater humanity's chances of winning would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao pondered for a long time before finally making a decision:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I'll contact them right now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an introverted person like Yang Xiao, he had almost never taken the initiative to invite others. Gathering the Nine Monarchs might be very easy for Lu Xun, but for Yang Xiao, it was undoubtedly a challenge... He didn't even have contact information for some of them. Fortunately, he could ask Lu Xun for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way... there's war everywhere outside right now. Where would be a good place to meet?\" Yang Xiao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling paused for a moment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... let's return to the place where it all began.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1327,"2026-05-30T14:16:39.061Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","579efebd4bc0556770a0d0be4ad29b78100de472876675c8948b578e90fa7d07","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1363","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1361",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
