Chapter 1881: Whereabouts of the First Generation

Whereabouts of the First Generation

Tianshu Domain.

Clang clang clang clang clang——

Dense and muffled sounds of metal striking rang out from a dusty construction site.

Sun Bumian sat at a small stall across the street, a multigrain pancake dangling from his mouth, looking toward the direction of the construction site with great interest... Although the periphery of the construction site had already been enclosed with black gauze, one could still vaguely see a ferocious and massive steel behemoth taking shape.

A figure slowly sat down opposite Sun Bumian.

"What are you looking at?"

"Looking at this new plaything the Chengtian Dynasty is researching." Sun Bumian was deep in thought, "I've lived for so many years, but it's my first time seeing this kind of thing... It's both old and new, both ancient and cutting-edge. Can it really affect the Red Star?"

"Don't just judge it simply by its appearance." Chen Ling glanced at the Star-Severing Crossbow under construction,

"True, no matter what, having it is better than not."

Sun Bumian finished eating the pancake in his hand and looked at Chen Ling.

"How was the chat with the Seven Monarchs?"

"We have a plan... However, it's very bold, and also very risky."

"That's the Red Star after all. If you don't take a bit of risk, how could it be destroyed?" Sun Bumian sighed, "How big do you think... the odds of winning are?"

Chen Ling pondered for a long time:

"Not exceeding thirty percent."

The two fell silent at the same time.

"Thirty percent... is not low either." Sun Bumian muttered to himself.

"I've also arranged all the backup plans." Chen Ling continued, "Once we fail, Li Qingshan will take over the Dusk Society and complete the next reboot... Moreover, I left more than one backup plan."

"It's just a pity that the six-winged angel in the Civilization Embers seems to have disappeared in this reboot... Otherwise, the odds of winning could be a bit higher."

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"You follow the Path of the Actor, you can't go fight against the Red Star with us... If we fail, the subsequent Dusk Society will have to rely on you to escort them."

Sun Bumian nodded, "You can rest assured about this. With Liu Qingyan and me around, nothing will happen to the Dusk Society."

"Right, what about that thing of Club?"

Sun Bumian took a Wooden Box out from his clothes and placed it solemnly on the table.

"I researched this thing the whole way, but couldn't find anything..." Sun Bumian hesitated for a long time, but still spoke, "We... might still only be able to accept reality."

Chen Ling didn't speak.

He naturally understood what Sun Bumian meant by accepting reality. Jiang Xiaohua died in the fifth-generation world, so it was inherently unlikely for him to reappear in the sixth generation... But Chen Ling still didn't want to give up.

Like Sun Bumian before him, he carefully scrutinized the wooden box for a long time, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter... Then, he opened it.

A Blood-Colored Holy Grail lay quietly within.

"Star Observation Bureau?" Chen Ling saw the small words on it at a glance, "What is this?"

"Don't know." Sun Bumian shook his head, "I've lived for so many years and have never heard of this organization... Either this is a very small and unknown organization, or..."

"It simply doesn't belong to this world."

Sun Bumian had lived for over a thousand years, and he had experienced almost everything that happened in this country in modern times. He had the most right to speak on this matter.

At first glance, it was obviously more likely to be the former. But thinking about it carefully, how could an organization capable of possessing such a mysterious witchcraft prop not have any fame?

Moreover, looking at the length of the code, this self-proclaimed "Star Observation Bureau" organization might possess more than just one of this kind of mysterious prop.

"This handwriting..."

"Why does it feel a bit familiar?"

Chen Ling stared closely at the fly-head-sized font of the line "Star Observation Bureau", always feeling he had seen it somewhere recently.

He thought carefully for a long time, and finally recalled where he had seen this kind of handwriting.

A touch of astonishment surfaced in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Sun Bumian asked in confusion.

"How could it be him..." Chen Ling muttered to himself, "The first-generation Nameless Actor... Didn't he already ascend dimensions beyond the world long ago?"

Not long ago, Chen Ling had seen this kind of handwriting under the Spirit Tablet of the first-generation Nameless Actor. Chen Ling was almost certain that the words "Star Observation Bureau" were personally written by the first-generation Nameless Actor.

This legendary figure who, in the first-generation world, found a way to Reverse the Era and Reboot the World without any preliminary intelligence, had once again overturned Chen Ling's cognition in another inconceivable way.

The first-generation Nameless Actor...

Star Observation...

The "Stars" being observed... What stars did it refer to exactly?

Could it be...

In Chen Ling's mind, he suddenly recalled that mighty Meteor Shower streaking across the Myriad Worlds of Candlelight that he saw after ascending dimensions beyond the world... The Red Star that almost destroyed this world was also just one of them.

What kind of organization could observe such "Stars"?

If this Star Observation Bureau was really related to the first-generation Nameless Actor, if this was really an organization observing the Meteor Shower beyond the world, if this Holy Grail really came from there... Then what relationship did Jiang Xiaohua have with them?

"In any case, I've used all sorts of methods, but couldn't sense Club's Aura... See if you have any clues." Sun Bumian thought for a bit, "For example, chopping it open? Scooping out Club's Curse?"

"..."

Chen Ling sized it up carefully for a while, and shook his head, "I also can't see anything... However, using tough methods to chop it open probably won't bring Club back either. It's completely empty inside."

"...Alright then." Sun Bumian was somewhat depressed.

"But, knowing where this thing came from, there's still a chance."

Chen Ling put the Holy Grail back into the Wooden Box and handed it to Sun Bumian, "Keep it safe, maybe one day, we can still bring Club back."

"Mhm."

Sun Bumian put the Wooden Box back into his clothes again.

"The Red Star is coming soon." Sun Bumian asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I've already made all the preparations I can for humanity." Chen Ling spoke slowly,

"Lastly..."

"I want to do some of my own things."

Chen Ling's gaze quietly looked across the street.

A shop displaying a dazzling array of cakes was standing in the place with the densest flow of people. Its doors were open wide, and there was an endless stream of coming and going customers, carrying all the beautiful expectations and laughter of people.

About ten years ago, Chen Ling led the Dusk Society members past this place... Ten years later, this shop was still flourishing.

Seeing Chen Ling's gaze, Sun Bumian roughly guessed what he wanted to do, and a touch of emotion surfaced in his eyes.

"That's good too..."

Sun Bumian patted Chen Ling's shoulder, "You go ahead. For the next few days, Liu Qingyan and I will handle the Dusk Society's affairs... No one will disturb you."

"You wearing the mask of the sixth-generation Red King have given this world too much Completion. Now..."

"It's also time to do some things for yourself."
