Death Calamity Descends Again

Wen Shilin's figure was bit by bit enveloped by darkness, sitting quietly in the Audience seats like a sculpture. But he didn't completely assimilate with the other Audiences. The outline of this "shadow" of his still retained some sharp edges and corners, and the clothes he wore as well as the outline of the camera on his chest could faintly be seen.

Wen Shilin didn't disappear, nor did he become a part of the Calamity of Mockery, but instead became a shadow... a special shadow.

To be honest, when Chen Ling first thought of this crazy plan, he didn't have much confidence in his heart either. After all, this was his first time using [The Play of All Sentient Beings]. No one knew whether this skill could truly fly onto the Stage and replace the original Calamity of Mockery personality.

But looking at it now, he bet correctly.

In these Audience seats full of malicious intent, an Audience with goodwill appeared.

Whether the Wen Shilin before him was the true Wen Shilin resurrected was no longer important to Chen Ling... Up until now, malicious Audiences had always been manipulating his life. He had experienced too much pain and despair, and now that someone could support him, even if it was only one, it could already be considered salvation to him.

In the eyes of the past Chen Ling, this was an almost impossible thing... but now, it had truly happened. Chen Ling couldn't help but think that although this process was still fraught with difficulties, and there were even some links he couldn't replicate himself, what if...

What if he really could solve these problems?

Once this thought appeared in Chen Ling's mind, it lingered and refused to leave... But he knew that now was not the time to research this matter.

Chen Ling took a deep breath, his consciousness detaching from the Stage and returning to his body.

When he opened his eyes again,

A massive ruin resembling a Meteorite Crater entered his line of sight.

The painful struggle of the beastly Calamity of Mockery just now had directly shaken the surrounding earth to pieces. Chen Ling could only move forward along the rugged ground while pulling out his phone.

[00:00:29]

[00:00:28]

[00:00:27]...

Chen Ling's control over time was still extremely precise. Although the process of the Thought Calamity throwing the Script later on was slightly delayed, overall it was still within an acceptable range. There was less than thirty seconds left until this Timeline Save File ended.

These 24 hours of this Timeline Save File should be the most thrilling one. Had he not temporarily acquired [The Play of All Sentient Beings] and laid out this grand scheme, he probably really would have perished here. But the gains were also massive. Not only did he learn Wu Tongyuan's weakness, but he also successfully rescued Chu Changqing along the way.

One must know that Chu Changqing was an absolutely vital Character. Without Chu Changqing, the Nine Monarchs wouldn't even be able to initiate the "Slumber Plan".

Without him, it would be impossible for humanity to extend its life by three hundred years.

Chen Ling climbed all the way from the deep crater to the surface. Looking at the boundless gray earth surrounding him, his whole person let out a long sigh of relief, finally relaxing and sitting down on the spot.

[00:00:15]

[00:00:14]

[00:00:13]...

Without a rift, returning to Earth was definitely impossible. Chen Ling could only wait for the Gray World of this world to begin intersecting with Earth. Fortunately, he could still return to the real world, so he wouldn't be trapped here for that long...

As long as no accidents occurred in these final dozen or so seconds, it would be fine.

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current Expectation Value: 23%]

Chen Ling: ????

When these two lines of small text drifted past the earth to the side, Chen Ling froze for a moment, and he fiercely scrambled up from the ground!

Beneath the lead-gray clouds, a pitch-black figure was standing in the air, looking down here with great interest... Its scarlet pupils slightly narrowed, and the corners of its hideous mouth split to its ear roots.

"Kekekekekeke—"

The instant this nightmarish laughter rang out, Chen Ling's heart plunged into an icehouse!

Damn it!!

It was actually hiding nearby the whole time?!

Chen Ling originally thought that the Calamity of Mockery of this world should have already been chased away by the beastly Calamity of Mockery. He didn't expect that after using the Ghost Mockery Abyss to escape, it actually circled back...

But Chen Ling's methods had all been used up. Facing a complete Calamity of Mockery again, what other way could he have?

[00:00:07]

[00:00:06]

[00:00:05]...

"What?"

"Defeated subordinate, do you still want to come seeking death??"

Although monstrous waves surged in Chen Ling's heart, on the surface, he was still incredibly calm. He even leisurely put his hands behind his back, just smilingly looking at the Calamity of Mockery in the distance like this, his tone carrying a trace of killing intent.

Five seconds left!

Even if it was just an empty show of strength, as long as it could intimidate the Calamity of Mockery for a moment, that would be enough.

[00:00:03]

[00:00:02]

The Calamity of Mockery laughed hideously. Having observed from the side for a long time, it seemed to have already seen through Chen Ling's bottom line. It didn't waste half a word of nonsense with Chen Ling, its figure instantly disappearing!

Chen Ling's heart thumped!

A monstrous world-destroying Oppressive Aura erupted from behind him!

[00:00:01]

Bang—!!

A cloud of scarlet blood mist exploded from Chen Ling's body!!

[00:00:00]

...

The dim starlight flickered silently under the night sky.

Two figures wearing scientific research coats walked silently on the dim street. The orange streetlights constantly elongated their shadows, appearing lost and lonely under the reflection of the night.

Who knows how long passed before Yang Xiao spoke hoarsely:

"Director Chen isn't here. Next... what should we do?"

"...Let's leave first." Lu Xun sighed lightly. "Don't get dragged into this giant vortex of war. Our enemies aren't humans, but the Gray World Calamities that will descend in the future.

Although it's still uncertain how long it will take for them to descend, what we can do now is preserve our strength and improve our power... Strive so that on the day the true Great Cataclysm descends, we all will have the strength to contend with it."

"Leave... but where can we go?"

"I... want to go back to Wushan."

Yang Xiao turned to look at Lu Xun, only then remembering that Wushan was Lu Xun's hometown... Moreover, there was an underground base there that could shelter a large population.

Hiding in the base could not only break away from the vortex of international war and allow them to peacefully improve their strength, but they could also conveniently shelter those refugees. It was indeed a good choice.

"Then I'll go with you."

"For the two of us to only protect one base is too much of a waste." Lu Xun shook his head. "You are the strongest among us. Only if we separate can we protect more people."

Yang Xiao pondered for a moment. "Then I'll go to the base in the north."

"You're not from the north, right? Why not go home? Dr. Su told me she also seems to be planning on returning to the base in her hometown."

Yang Xiao smiled slightly:

"If everyone returned to their hometowns, then what about the people in the farthest north? No matter how cold and bitter a place is, there are always people living there. I heard that their situation over there is the most difficult right now. I'll go see what I can do to help."

Lu Xun blankly looked at Yang Xiao, a trace of complexity flashing through his eyes. He patted Yang Xiao's shoulder:

"...Thanks for your hard work."
