I'm not a drama god

"Am I hallucinating?"

Chen Ling rubbed her eyes and looked up at the sky again.

There were five dim and distant suns hanging in the sky. Due to their dim color, Chen Ling almost didn't notice their existence... just like the moon shadows that can be seen occasionally during the day, dim and without light.

In the gray world, one can indeed see the sun, and there is undoubtedly only one sun. Although it is far away, it is not so dim.

Since when did the sun become five?

"Keep moving forward." Chen Ling immediately gave up the idea of ​​turning back and gave the order.

He had a feeling that he was heading in the right direction... There must be something unusual nearby.

To be honest, Chen Ling didn't have much hope before coming here. After all, the last time the Jiangtian Sect headquarters witnessed the Silent Angel was many years ago. The probability of the other party staying in the same place for so many years was too small. This time, he was prepared to return empty-handed.

But when he saw the five suns flying in the sky, he immediately realized that perhaps he had come to the right place.

Under Chen Ling's urging, Wu Yi's speed increased to the limit again. The strange thing was that no matter how far he moved, the five suns were like stickers in the game, always keeping a distance from them, giving a hazy sense of unreality.

At this moment, the gray land in the distance began to tilt downward, and the further you go, the steeper the tilt becomes.

"stop."

Chen Ling opened her mouth and Wu Yi stopped immediately.

Chen Ling stood on Wu Yi's back and looked around... The place where they were now was like the edge of an extremely large meteorite crater. The end of the crater could not be seen to the left or right. The ground sank downward neatly, and not far below, the outlines of unknown objects were vaguely outlined.

Chen Ling couldn't estimate how big this giant pit was, but it was definitely larger than any human domain. Could it be that, as he thought, he had found the hidden seventh world-destroying territory?

"How is it? Do you sense any danger?" Chen Ling asked Wu Yi.

Wu Yi's head shook slightly, as if he was sensing the situation around him, but finally he shook his head.

"Then let's go down and take a look."

If Chen Ling was alone, he might not dare to go deep into here alone, but now with Wu Yi by his side, together they can be considered two eighth-level fighters... With this lineup, even if they really break into other disaster territories, they can escape unscathed.

As Wu Yi and Chen Ling gradually approached the bottom of the giant pit, the vague outline in the distance finally became clearer.

Chen Ling's pupils shrank slightly.

"This is……"

The outline in the distance is not a mountain or a forest, nor a rock, nor a mirage...it is a city.

In other words, the ruins of the city.

Grayish-white substances like embers fell from the sky in large flakes, like a dead and dull snow.

Countless broken walls were scattered across the barren land. The tall buildings that once stood tall had sunk into the ground, leaving only a small part of the top exposed. But just from this corner, it looked extremely majestic, like some kind of landmark building in the past...

The winding asphalt road has long been cracked, and street lamps buried underground can occasionally be seen on the roadside. The bleak cold wind blows across the dead ruins, making bursts of whimpering sounds and blowing the tiny debris on the ground into gentle rolling.

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current expected value: 42%]

When the outline of the ruins appeared in the distance, Chen Ling's audience expectations, which had already increased in the past few days due to the arrival of Jian Changsheng and others, once again exceeded 40.

"How could there be city ruins in a place like this?" Chen Ling stood on the centipede's back, frowning.

Chen Ling was very sure that humans had never left any territory here.

And as he walked into the ruins, more and more doubts appeared in Chen Ling's mind...

These buildings don't look like they have always been here, because both the density of the high-rise buildings and the street planning are extremely unreasonable.

The four high-rise buildings pierce each other like knotted threads; some of the wide roads are only two or three meters long, and the end of the road is actually a twisted concrete wall; street lights are stuck between floors; manhole covers are covered with lightning rods...

Everything was as if some force had condensed several cities together, rolled them into a ball, and then dumped them here.

This is not the strangest.

When Chen Ling picked up a road sign that was already covered in dust, he suddenly realized that he didn't recognize the words on it...

The characters here are very similar to those on Earth, but also different. It is like a self-created language generated by AI. It is familiar, but also has a powerless sense of strangeness.

This is a civilization that is completely unfamiliar to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling stood in the ruins in a daze, his eyes slowly scanning the surroundings...

A thought suddenly came into his mind.

Here,

Could it be the former gray world civilization?

In the Gray World, there used to be cities and human civilization? ?

Chen Ling has always regarded the Gray World as a different world full of monsters, filled with only aggressive creatures and endless gray... Not only Chen Ling, but the human world has always believed this.

When he was in the Fusion School, Mr. Ye also mentioned some niche theories. For example, since the Gray World is regarded as a parallel world, why can't there be humans in it? Why can't there be civilization like on Earth? Even in the early days of the Cataclysm, some people tried to go deep into the Gray World to find the natives of the Gray World... but in the end, none of them came back.

This theory was gradually disproven and disappeared from the public's view...

The reason is also very simple,

If humans exist in the Gray World, why haven't we seen even a single human corpse in hundreds of years?

But when Chen Ling witnessed the ruins of the city with his own eyes, this theory once again emerged in his mind... If this city is really a civilization born from the Gray World, then 90% of the current human research on the Gray World will be overturned.

If there really was human civilization in the Gray World, how did they disappear?

The gray world, is it really originally gray?

Disaster...where does it come from?

Or go a little deeper...

What exactly is myself?

One question after another popped up in Chen Ling's mind. She stood there in the twisted city ruins in her bright red costume, like a sculpture.

Ashes fell on his shoulders like snowflakes, and the entire ruins seemed to be muted, with a deathly silence that made one's scalp numb...

at the same time,

At the end of this ruined city,

A figure with six grey wings on his back opened his eyes silently.
