He was dressed formally but sat casually by the table, pouring himself a cup of tea, as familiar as if he had returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling was somewhat surprised. Up until now, he had already seen several of the Nine Monarchs, and Lord of Hidden Clouds seemed to have changed the least. Compared to the Qi Muyun in the Timeline Save File, apart from dressing a bit more flamboyantly, there seemed to be no other changes. It was as if so many years of time and suffering had merely brushed past him lightly, without leaving the slightest trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds seemed to have noticed Chen Ling's gaze:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you keep staring at me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... are somewhat different from what I imagined,\" Chen Ling hesitated for a moment before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you Red Kings able to enter the Timeline Save File? You should have seen me before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this mean that Lord of Hidden Clouds, like Lord of the Aurora and the others, was also one of the few Nine Monarchs trusted by the previous generation Red King?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have indeed seen you... But usually, the Nine Monarchs I've seen and the Nine Monarchs of this world are somewhat different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's true.\" Lord of Hidden Clouds took a sip of the tea on the table. \"Having experienced so much, everyone is long past their ignorant and youthful selves. Everyone has their own ideals that they stick to, and there may even be divergences among us... I'm the only one still marching in place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds's single sentence directly pierced through the complex relationships between the Nine Monarchs today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Monarchs were indeed still those Nine Monarchs who fought for the destiny of humanity. However, from their initial confusion and inability to find direction, only knowing to twist themselves into a single rope, they had grown bit by bit... And as their strength gradually grew stronger and their experiences richer, divergences also appeared in their understanding of \"protecting humanity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Yu chose to pursue eternity, Wu Tongyuan bet everything on the Akashic Records, Ji Xuan transmigrated through time again and again, Chu Changqing volunteered to become a vegetative person to prolong the lives of his companions, and Wen Ruoshui sacrificed himself to forge the key to the restart...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to them, Qi Muyun indeed had no clear goal... Or perhaps, he was still that person from his youth, who wanted to twist together into a single rope with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As far as I know, the current situation of the Hidden Clouds Domain is very difficult.\" Chen Ling looked into his eyes. \"You came to find me at this critical juncture... is there something you need?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze held no struggle, no hesitation. He merely looked calmly at the hazy curtain of rain outside. A moment later, he slowly spoke a sentence that shook Chen Ling's mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to ask the Red King of the Dusk Society... to hold a funeral for the Hidden Clouds Domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds's answer was completely beyond Chen Ling's expectations... The Lord of Hidden Clouds, who had protected the Hidden Clouds Domain for hundreds of years, was asking him to hold a funeral for the Hidden Clouds Domain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was entirely too magical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what holding a funeral for a Domain means?\" Chen Ling asked further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds nodded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ending the future of the Domain, soothing the dead souls, and... encoffining my corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling frowned as he looked at Lord of Hidden Clouds. He found that the other party seemed to be serious. These weren't foolish words spoken in a moment of hot-headedness, but the result of careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be able to tell... the Hidden Clouds Domain has no future anymore.\" Lord of Hidden Clouds paused for a moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have already ordered all the 'tinders' within the Domain to be sent to the Spirit Void Domain. After they leave, only some sick beyond cure citizens will be left here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have lost their families and have no ability to take care of themselves. Rather than dying in pain and despair, it's better... to let them end their lives early in peace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ling gazed into Lord of Hidden Clouds's eyes. \"So, you had already thought of this day long ago... right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the first time Wu Tongyuan requested the dispatch of manpower, I already had some expectations... No one can stop this unseen catastrophe, not even Lou Yu's eternity. Humanity's last hope rests solely in the hands of two people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One is Wu Tongyuan, who bet on the Akashic Tower, and the other... is you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds pointed at Chen Ling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you, you have the Dusk Society, you don't need anyone's help...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Tongyuan wants to build the Akashic Tower. Relying on the Spirit Void Domain's own strength, it is absolutely impossible. He needs a more massive supply of manpower, and at the same time, transfer out the risk of plague within his Domain... Only this way can the construction progress of the Akashic Tower be guaranteed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you transported almost all the manpower to the Spirit Void Domain, and brought all the patients into the Hidden Clouds Domain.\" Chen Ling's brows locked tightly. \"It was you who personally destroyed this Domain that you protected for hundreds of years. You... aren't afraid of bearing eternal infamy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, someone has to do it, right?\" Lord of Hidden Clouds slowly closed his eyes. \"The Nine Monarchs can't all fight their own battles. Someone has to sacrifice... Since I chose to believe Wu Tongyuan, I must believe him to the end.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Theater House fell into a deathly stillness once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lord of Hidden Clouds's words were incredibly calm, Chen Ling could still see the pain and struggle hidden in the deepest part of his heart from his eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This journey he had walked was probably not nearly as relaxed and peaceful as it looked on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The suffering of this Domain started because of me, and it should also end because of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord of Hidden Clouds's palm gently touched his own chest. Beneath the neat shirt was a heart covered in hideous blood vessels. A trace of the Calamity of Corruption's Aura drifted out, and a complex look flashed through Lord of Hidden Clouds's eyes. \"I want to give all of them an explanation...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dying here is the best ending for me, Qi Muyun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Chen Ling sensed that trace of the Calamity of Corruption's Aura, his pupils contracted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was in the Integration Faction, he had learned about the characteristics of the Calamity of Corruption. He immediately realized what Lord of Hidden Clouds had done... He actually forcefully let the Calamity of Corruption parasitize himself, living and dying together with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically speaking, this was indeed the best method to kill the Calamity of Corruption. But in fact, Lord of Hidden Clouds could completely force it to parasitize someone else, for example, a death row inmate... As long as the death row inmate was killed, the Calamity of Corruption would also die, and Lord of Hidden Clouds himself could also live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lord of Hidden Clouds didn't do this...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in his eyes, he was the person who deserved to die the most in this Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are one of the Nine Monarchs. Your living is more valuable than your death,\" Chen Ling spoke in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>",1321,"2026-05-30T14:16:50.818Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","b68254288214ead1372a3f8d3f1e147ab68ea6bc8ffe192af46163df40888448","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1624","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-1622",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
