And me running into you wasn't a coincidence either, but you specifically coming to find me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn't you mention any of this to me all these days??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was afraid that telling you the truth would instead deepen your fear of your own abilities. Furthermore, the disaster ultimately didn't occur, so naturally, there was no need to tell you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why are you saying it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since everyone needs to be honest with each other, we naturally cannot hide matters regarding our abilities... Besides, you know how to control your abilities now, so it doesn't matter if I speak of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Wen's logic was extremely clear, and his words were filled with rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, just as Dr. Wen had said, he was now capable of controlling his abilities, so that sense of defeat was significantly diminished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two of them, it was Wu Tongyuan's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the others, Wu Tongyuan's encounters felt completely out of the layer... Not long after landing in America, he was robbed of his money by street thugs. He even obediently handed over his credit cards as soon as they threatened him. Penniless, he began struggling to survive in America. He worked as a waiter, washed dishes, and when he was purely starving, he even begged on the streets. In the end, he was caught up in a gunfight between two major gangs. Not only did he fail to get a single dollar, but he also lost the spare change he had earned over the previous two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the candid Dr. Qi and Dr. Wen, Wu Tongyuan's narration was somewhat vague and mumbled. Most of his time was spent describing how he survived in America, without mentioning any information related to his abilities whatsoever. Even after listening for a long time, there was no main point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's it?\" Dr. Qi's expression was somewhat strange. \"What about your abilities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My abilities... seem pretty useless, and they only work sometimes.\" Wu Tongyuan scratched his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can testify to that.\" Lu Xun spoke up silently. \"When I found him, he was being pinned down at the back door of a casino and severely beaten by their people. If I had arrived any later, his bones would probably have been broken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a sense, Wu Tongyuan could be considered the most cowardly of the Nine Monarchs in this era. Even Ji Xuan and Lou Yu, who hadn't obtained the Red Star Aspiration Power at all, lived with far more dignity than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have much to say.\" Ji Xuan's expression was somewhat resentful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As soon as I received Lu Xun's call, I immediately bought a ticket for the earliest high-speed rail heading to Shennongjia. But before I could even leave the station, I was suddenly knocked unconscious by someone... By the time I woke up again, a whole day had already passed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, all that remained in Ji Xuan's heart was unprecedented regret. He hated himself for not going with Lu Xun and the others to explore the Red Star. Now that everyone else had obtained abilities, just listening to their stories made his heart surge with excitement. If only he had corresponding abilities as well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yu's description was also extremely simple, and he was even more miserable than Ji Xuan. He didn't even know there was such a thing as the Shennongjia exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, Chen Ling's gaze had been fixed on Lou Yu, as if trying to see something in him... Unfortunately, there were no flaws in Lou Yu's expression. Every inadvertently revealed emotion of his was genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone had finished speaking, Yang Xiao finally spoke solemnly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason I gathered everyone here today is to tell you all some truths about this world...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having roughly grasped everyone's situations, Yang Xiao revealed everything he knew: the Gray World, the Calamities, the Red Star, the Red Star's Return, and... the responsibilities of the Nine Monarchs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, everyone's expressions varied. Lu Xun and Su Zhiwei were relatively calm, but the others couldn't remain composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying you want us to go fight and slaughter those Calamities capable of massacring entire cities??\" Wu Tongyuan's face was deathly pale. \"No... I've never even killed a chicken in my entire life. I... I don't have that capability, I can't do it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just because you can't right now doesn't mean you won't be able to in the future. You bear the Red Star Aspiration Power and have obtained strength beyond the reach of ordinary people, so naturally, you must shoulder the corresponding responsibilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Wu Tongyuan constantly acting so cowardly, Su Zhiwei truly couldn't stand watching it any longer...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very close with Lu Xun and knew how high Lu Xun's expectations for this guy were. But as one of the Nine Monarchs, Wu Tongyuan's courage was even less than hers when she was in elementary school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, how did this suddenly turn into my responsibility?\" Wu Tongyuan grew somewhat anxious. \"I'm just a stinking mathematics researcher. I just want to do my research properly, get a subsidy, and maybe have the chance to become a dean or something in the future... I don't want to be some Nine Monarch, and I don't want to go out fighting and killing... Please, just count me out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, how can you be living in a blessing but not know it??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Xuan couldn't bear it any longer. He was already infuriated because he lacked abilities. Seeing Wu Tongyuan act like this, he directly jumped up in anger. \"If you don't want your abilities, then give them to me! Stop hogging the latrine without doing your business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's exactly what I wish for!\" Wu Tongyuan turned to look at Lu Xun. \"Old Lu, there must be some way to give my abilities to him, right??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xun opened his mouth, but his gaze ultimately turned toward Chen Ling...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There isn't.\" Chen Ling spoke calmly. \"What is yours is yours. You cannot give it to anyone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Tongyuan's eyes widened, and both he and Ji Xuan simultaneously swore:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Wu, calm down for a second.\" Lu Xun frowned and spoke. \"You are the most unique among us, and the one with the highest ceiling... You don't want to get involved right now because you still haven't realized what you're capable of. If you don't have any ideas, we can sit down and chat together. Everyone here is a top-tier scientist in the country; we will definitely be able to give you some inspiration...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, on what basis??\" The exhausted Wu Tongyuan finally erupted, the anger he had been suppressing these past few days spewing forth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you came to me back then, I told you, I didn't want to participate in the exploration! I didn't want to participate in the exploration!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just a mathematics researcher! You insisted on dragging me along to research that broken meteor! I only came because you said making a major contribution would let me become an academician! And now??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's precisely because I participated in the exploration and got that broken Aspiration Power that I ended up wandering the streets in America and getting bullied by those Americans! Now they won't even let me be an academician! They won't let me do my research! And you want me to step forward and be some great hero saving humanity!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which of you ever cared about my thoughts? Who ever asked for my opinion?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1290,"2026-05-30T14:16:39.061Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","c23d8f96f8b2c8653159f4447cd408841fcd7f4b47928d56493238112b17ea45","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1371","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1369",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
