I'm not a drama god

As Jian Changsheng fell to the ground, Chen Ling put away the revolver in his hand and slowly stood up.

He headed straight for the "spectator seats" on the side.

Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua's eyelids jumped and they turned their heads to look elsewhere at the same time, as if they were not paying attention to this place at all, but were admiring the beautiful scenery of the gray world.

"It's fine that Heitao just came here stubbornly... but why did you two join in the fun?" Chen Ling was speechless.

"I don't know." Jiang Xiaohua answered honestly.

"Spades said everyone should come together... so here I am."

"..."

Chen Ling turned to look at Sun Bumian, "What about you?"

"...I said I came to join the Fusion Faction, do you believe me?"

"You? What did you fuse?"

"It doesn't matter what we fuse. What's important is that I need the power of the fusion faction to avenge me!" Sun Bumian gritted his teeth as if he remembered something.

"?"

Chen Ling couldn't keep up with Sun Bumian's train of thought, and his eyes turned to the last figure who looked somewhat familiar.

"I recognize you... We've met in the Wuji Realm." Chen Ling didn't recognize him when he saw the rotting plants before, but now that he saw him in person, he quickly remembered where he had seen him before.

"Diamond J of the Dusk Society, I'm just a guide." Diamond J shrugged.

"Lead the way...Are you from the Fusion faction?"

"Previously."

Seeing that Jack of Diamonds looked a little strange, Chen Ling tactfully did not ask any more questions.

"Anyway... this is the situation." Chen Ling explained again seriously, "I am now in the Fusion School learning to control the disaster, and I have some things to deal with... I can't go back in a short time."

Sun Bumian blinked and said, "I know. We both saw the whole thing."

"...Then why don't you persuade him to stay?"

"Can we persuade him?"

Chen Ling was unable to refute for a moment.

"Come to think of it, since you know everything, why don't you make things clear at the beginning? Why do you have to fight with him?" Sun Bumian couldn't help asking.

"He came here with resentment. He won't give up unless he fights." Chen Ling paused for a moment, "And I have a feeling that the human realm will soon be in chaos... Only by giving him a little pain can we stimulate him and concentrate on improving his strength."

"The human realm is going to be in chaos? How?"

"I'm not sure yet. I still don't have enough information... I have to go back and discuss it in detail with Teacher Ye."

Chen Ling glanced at the time and said nothing more. Instead, he stepped onto the centipede's head. The bright red robe slowly rose in the night.

"This is a matter of great importance. I'll be leaving now...it shouldn't be too long before we meet again."

After saying this, Chen Ling turned around in the darkness.

The ferocious centipede army seemed to have received some kind of order. They swarmed towards the mother tree of the fusion faction and soon disappeared at the end of the horizon.

After Chen Ling went far away, a slight moaning sound was heard from behind.

Jian Changsheng was seen supporting his head and staggering to his feet from the ground. The wound from being pierced by the black stick had almost healed under the effect of the blood-stained shirt, but he still looked covered in blood and in a very miserable state.

"Tao, are you okay?" Jiang Xiaohua asked softly.

"...I'm fine, but my head hurts a bit." Jian Changsheng shook his head, "I feel like there's something extra in my brain..."

Sun Bumian immediately thought of the "realm chaos" that Chen Ling had just mentioned, and asked curiously:

"What do you see?"

"I saw... a red star falling from the sky."

“Red Star???” Sun Bumian was stunned, his face suddenly looked a little ugly, “No wonder… This is indeed a big deal.”

"Where's the heart?"

"He has left and returned to the Fusion sect."

"Oh……"

Chen Ling's apology undoubtedly made all the resentment in Jian Changsheng's heart dissipate. The most important purpose of him running all the way here has been achieved. As for whether Chen Ling will go back or not... he has already given an explanation, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go back.

The breeze from the Gray Realm blew across the barren land, making a humming sound among the wreckage of the Crimson Sky Sect's branch. Grains of gravel and body parts rolled past everyone, and the world fell into deathly silence.

Finally, Sun Bumian spoke first:

"So...what do we say next?"

The purpose of everyone's trip was to find Chen Ling. Now they haven't arrived at the Fusion Faction, but Chen Ling's matter has been resolved, and they don't know where to go for a while.

"I'm going to find a place to practice!" Jian Changsheng said without hesitation. The shadow of being beaten by Chen Ling just now was like a dark cloud, always hanging over his heart. He gritted his teeth when he spoke.

"Especially this murderous aura in my body... I must find a way to completely turn it into my own use!"

"What are you going to do?"

"..." Jian Changsheng scratched his head, "I don't know yet... Let's figure it out bit by bit."

The Jack of Diamonds stared at Jian Changsheng.

"The thing in your body is not ordinary. If you try to control it without a method, you will only hurt yourself... You should have experienced this firsthand."

Jian Changsheng recalled the scene just now, and his brows suddenly frowned, "What should I do???"

Diamond J was silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Perhaps... you still need a 'teacher' to point you in the right direction."

……

"Brother Chen Ling, who are they?"

On the centipede's back, Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask.

Chen Ling paused for a moment, "He is my companion in the human realm."

"Oh……"

Xiao Taoxiren nodded slightly, and immediately imagined the legendary images of "companions" in novels. Beside every powerful protagonist, there is always a group of strong, interesting and outstanding supporting characters. For a moment, his eyes began to light up.

Xiao Tao even felt a little regretful. She should have mustered up the courage to talk to her legendary companions. If this matter were to be passed back to the Fusion Faction, others would probably be extremely envious.

"By the way, Xiaotao, do you remember how you got here?" Chen Ling suddenly asked.

Xiao Tao was stunned. After looking at Miao Miao, she roughly described what happened. It was almost the same as Xiao Bai's previous description, even the position of the ball of thread was the same.

Chen Ling sat on top of the giant centipede, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Chen Ling had figured out the rest of the process, but there was one thing he didn't understand... Since Si Zai couldn't leave Storm Island easily, how did it leave that mark on the mother tree of the Fusion Faction?

That is the base camp of the Fusion Faction. Under the tree canopy, no disaster can approach. It is unknown how far away from the mother tree it is, how could it leave a real trap without anyone noticing?

Chen Ling pondered for a long time, but still had no answer. As the centipede army crawled in the gray world, Xiao Tao and the others beside him gradually became sleepy from the initial nervousness. Perhaps because they were too tired of being controlled by Si Zai, they actually fell asleep on top of each other in the end...

When the dawn sun slowly rose from the distance, the outline of the towering mother tree finally emerged from the end of the horizon.
