Chapter 1913: "Concealment" and "Completion"

"Concealment" and "Completion"

Chen Ling took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Click—— click—— click...

As his mind stirred, the lights above the audience seats gradually extinguished.

Dimness enveloped the Theater. The whispering Audiences quickly quieted down. They sat quietly on their seats, their gazes fixed on the vermilion Thespian figure under the spotlight, their faces full of novelty and expectation.

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current Expectation Value: 3%]

The Audience Expectation Value broke through the barrier of 100% and jumped back to the starting point.

But this time, the Audience did not lose control. Or to say, as the malicious Audiences were replaced by the current Audiences, the rules on this Stage had already undergone changes...

"This is..."

Chen Ling murmured to himself.

In a trance, Chen Ling again saw a Twisted Divine Path extending out from beneath his feet, leading straight to the horizon... The dark red star originally at the end of the Divine Path had at this moment turned into glass-like vermilion!

The current Chen Ling was standing at the top of this Divine Path, and this vermilion star was close at hand.

Chen Ling seemed to have perceived something, looking down...

A line of text silently surfaced on the steps.

[We are watching you].

Seeing this line of words, Chen Ling was stunned... Then, a faint smile surfaced.

The current Chen Ling no longer had the horror and fear he felt when he first saw this sentence. On the contrary, there was an inexplicable sense of relief and peace of mind. There were still dense gazes watching behind him, but those gazes no longer contained malice.

Chen Ling moved his gaze away from this "greeting" on the steps, looking at that vermilion star in the sky.

The dark red star originally symbolizing the power of "Negation" had already disappeared;

Now, the ability represented by this vermilion star was...

Chen Ling reached out his hand and grasped towards the star.

A gentle breeze brushed past the top of the Twisted Divine Path, blowing that Great Crimson Theatrical Robe until it fluttered. The instant Chen Ling's fingertip touched the vermilion star, a red aftershock swept out in all directions like flickering television static!

Buzz——!!!

Chen Ling's pupils were resplendent like stars.

Thump thump—— thump thump...

His originally empty heart, at this moment seemed to be filled by some kind of power, and began to beat at a fixed rhythm. The dull loud sound echoed, like the heartbeat of the earth, like the pulse of deep space!

In Chen Ling's pupils, the world's storyline was like an electrocardiogram, currently jumping along with the power in his chest, fluctuating rapidly!

An aura extremely compatible with him filled his soul.

Although the former Chen Ling stepped onto the Twisted Divine Path step by step and mastered the complete power of the Calamity of Mockery, in the final analysis, that power was evolved based on the existence of the Calamity of Mockery...

The power of Negation was certainly powerful, but it didn't fit with Chen Ling's own characteristics. He was like a swordsman wielding an unhandy steel saber left behind by a veteran of the previous dynasty. Although he could exert terrifying destructive power, he still felt awkward.

But at this very moment, the figures filling the audience seats no longer contained malice...

They all came for Chen Ling.

No longer Negation, no longer chaotic and disorderly, their "approval" took root in the Red Star Aspiration Power, grew crazily, and ultimately bred an ability unique to Chen Ling...

"The power of creation... no, it should be said, the power of a [Director-Screenwriter]..." Chen Ling felt the ability beating in his chest and murmured to himself,

"It's somewhat similar to Fate Weaving, but more than one level higher than Fate Weaving..."

Fate Weaving could guide the direction of events within a reasonable range through a script.

Its limitation lay in that the events it could affect could only be the future happening recently, such as things within a day or two. Moreover, once the characters existing in the script or their ranks were too high, Fate Weaving would experience errors... In the final analysis, it was still too fragile.

But the ability Chen Ling mastered now could take root in the [Present], while simultaneously directing and writing the [Past] and [Future].

At the [Past] level, Chen Ling could insert a "plot" out of thin air into all historical events related to himself. As long as this "plot" didn't directly conflict with the events at that time, the "plot" would exist reasonably, and had already happened.

At the [Future] level, Chen Ling could write a sentence of "plot that will inevitably happen" out of thin air at any time in the future. All events from the present to the "plot that will inevitably happen" would be beneficial to the "plot that will inevitably happen", and ultimately complete the "plot that will inevitably happen".

Feeling these two concept-level super abilities, even Chen Ling was incomparably shocked at this moment.

Simply put,

"Chen Ling's elaboration on the past, whether it really happened or not, has already happened";

"Chen Ling's prospect of the future, whether it can really be achieved or not, is inevitably accomplished".

This was no longer the domain of any Divine Path or World-Ending ability... After Chen Ling crazily assimilated the Audience and plundered the Red Star's power, he had already crossed the limit of this world, touching the threshold of the fundamentally non-existent "Tenth Rank"...

This was the true authority of the God of Theater.

Chen Ling stood at the end of the Twisted Divine Path, slowly raising his hands. The two completely different authorities of the past and present were like incomparably profound Yin-Yang fishes, spinning over his left and right hands.

Feeling the "heartbeat" in his chest that could affect the world's storyline, Chen Ling first looked at his left hand and spoke softly:

"Fabricating the past, burying foreshadowing, all history that happened or never happened will be beneficial to the me at this moment... This ability will be called 'Concealment'."

Then, his gaze turned to his right hand:

"Finalizing the future, setting time and space coordinates, no matter how difficult and bumpy the process in between is, it will round back to the established ending... This ability will be called 'Completion'."

However, Chen Ling could feel that although he obtained the authorities of "Concealment" and "Completion", the upper limit of this power, besides his own Spiritual Power, was also related to the Audience Expectation Value.

The higher the Audience Expectation Value, the more and more detailed the foreshadowing that could be concealed, and the stronger and clearer the future that could be completed...

But if the established ending to be completed was too outrageous, Chen Ling couldn't activate it. For example, if he wanted to write "tens of millions of people on Earth simultaneously step onto the Demigod rank at this moment", I'm afraid just after writing the word "Earth", he would be completely hollowed out.

"Whether it's 'Concealment' or 'Completion', to activate it, one must use symbols as the carrier of the ability... interleaving the past, finalizing the future." Chen Ling raised his fingertips, looking at the void before his eyes, as if thinking about something.

Ultimately, he still carved two symbols in the void.

""

The instant these two symbols took shape, Chen Ling's abilities seemed to have a specific place of bearing. The authority of the God of Theater beat rapidly in his heart, letting out dull loud sounds.

Thump—— thump—— thump...
