I'm not a drama god

Not long after, a familiar figure in a bright red opera robe appeared in the underground palace.

"Finally back?" Jian Changsheng threw the candied haws in his hand aside. Just as he was about to throw away the poisonous insect sashimi, Sun Bumian beside him spoke slowly:

"We can't throw these away. We have to fry them to eat in the evening."

Jian Changsheng:......

Chen Ling is indeed back, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have to eat bugs anymore. The only difference is... they can eat something hot.

Chen Ling was slightly startled when he saw the people of the 6th generation.

During the time that he was not in the Ghost-Mocking Abyss, Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian both lost weight... Jian Changsheng was fine, he simply ate less, but Sun Bumian ate and pooped, pooped and ate, and in just over three days, he had lost a lot of weight visibly.

Moreover, both of them had dark circles under their eyes, as if they hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

The only person who hadn't changed was Jiang Xiaohua. He was currently sitting in a chair in a daze, and his mental state didn't seem as active as when he first arrived...

"Hongxin, where have you been these past two days?" Sun Bumian asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you would be back soon?"

"…something unexpected happened."

Chen Ling briefly told the three of them about the situation of the Embers of Civilization, and also mentioned the Angel of Silence Shen Qingzhu, but did not elaborate on the other party's background as coming from other candlelight worlds.

After listening to Chen Ling’s retelling, the people of the 6th generation were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses.

"Did the Gray World have human civilization in the past?"

"So, when Chixing comes back, won't this world be doomed?"

Whether it was the past of the Gray Realm, the origin of the disaster, or even the so-called meteor shower, they all overturned the cognition of several people. If this happened in the human world, they would probably be arrested as criminals who spread panic rumors... But the people of the 6th generation would never doubt Chen Ling. Since Chen Ling said so, it must be true.

"What is certain is that it will come back." Chen Ling paused for a moment, "But we don't know what will happen when it comes back next time..."

"If the red star that comes back is the same one that pierced through the gray world before, does that mean that this red star will be weaker than the last time?" Sun Bumian suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Jian Changsheng asked puzzledly.

"Think about it. When it broke through the Gray World, it dropped so many fragments, giving rise to the world-destroying disaster. When it passed through the Earth, it split again... So its size should be much smaller than before."

"Hiss... what you said makes sense. Does that mean that we are not completely without a chance now that Chixing has returned?"

Jian Changsheng suddenly realized.

Sun Bumian recalled what his master had said to him, hesitated for a long time, and finally fell silent.

Chen Ling did not respond. He was now standing on the side of the world-destroying disaster. It was not important whether humans could survive the attack of the Red Star. After all, as a ridicule disaster, he could still survive even if the earth became a purgatory like the Gray World...

My own worthless life is as tenacious as that of a cockroach.

"No, why aren't you talking?" Jian Changsheng looked a little unnatural when he saw everyone was silent.

Just because Jian Changsheng doesn't like the human world doesn't mean he can accept the entire earth being pierced by the red star. Although the world is bad, not everyone is bad. If human civilization really becomes extinct, how long can they survive?

"It's useless to think so much." Sun Bumian glanced at him, "Red Star will be here soon... With your rank, there's nothing you can do... Even if the sky falls, it depends on whether the tall guy can hold it up."

Jian Changsheng wanted to refute unconvinced, but when he opened his mouth, he still couldn't refute.

Sun Bumian was right. Tianshu-Jun predicted that Chixing would return in just a few months. Even if he could rise to level seven or even level eight like a rocket, it would still not be enough in front of Chixing.

"I was away these two days. I hope nothing happened." Chen Ling changed the subject.

"Of course not." Jian Changsheng replied, "Except that the sashimi was a little... uh... too fresh, and a little boring, there was nothing else."

"Well, I'm going to rest for a while, and I'll cook dinner tonight."

"okay."

As Chen Ling went back to her room to rest, Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian took a look at the poisonous insect sashimi on the table, looked at each other, and tacitly decided to save some space for hot dishes in the evening.

"Then I'll go back and sleep for a while." Jian Changsheng stood up and yawned.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he stepped on a half-cut candied haws that had just fallen on the ground. Slipping on the smooth ground, Jian Changsheng lost his balance and staggered forward.

At this moment, the door of the restaurant happened to open, and a large scorpion carrying a fresh-cut toad crawled in. It was frightened by Jian Changsheng who was rushing towards him with a ferocious look!

It didn't have time to react, and the plate on the scorpion's tail hook fell off and broke into pieces. It tried to dodge hastily, but it was too late... Fortunately, Jian Changsheng was now very skilled and he stabilized his center of gravity in time and stopped abruptly on the scorpion's body!

A tail hook emitting a chilling cold light was only a hair's breadth away from piercing his forehead.

Jian Changsheng took a breath of cold air.

"Are you okay?" Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua immediately ran forward.

Chen Ling, who had already walked out of the restaurant, heard the noise and quickly rushed over.

"...It's okay, of course it's okay." Jian Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and waved his hand, "I just slipped."

Jian Changsheng casually adjusted the collar of his leather jacket and walked straight to his room, looking as if "the corner of his clothes was slightly dirty and not worth mentioning".

Seeing this, Sun Bumian's expression changed continuously, and finally he sighed helplessly...

Chen Ling watched this scene from afar, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

……

"Swish, swish, swish—"

“Rustle… rustle… I am Chen Yu, a reporter on the front lines of the Xuanyu Realm!”

"Due to the tactical retreat of the defense line, we have begun to evacuate some residents in the western district and requisitioned some houses and underground pipes to build a new round of defense lines. If you and your family are within the requisition area, please do not panic. Someone will arrange for evacuation immediately. I repeat, please do not panic. The situation on the front line is still under control."

"At the same time, due to the high frequency of the disaster wave, some areas in the Xuanyu Realm have been cut off from water supply. Our logistics personnel are currently rushing to repair it. Please do not panic, and do not go to the streets to grab bottled fresh water resources!"

"At present, Xuanyu Realm has requested support from Lingxu Realm and Nanhai Realm. The support forces from the two realms are coming quickly. The number of support forces this time is larger and the combat power is stronger. It is expected that they will arrive at the battlefield in the near future and stabilize the situation on the front line again..."
