I'm not a drama god

"Mr. [Assassin], the star position is ready for you."

A staff member stood behind the assassin and spoke calmly.

The assassin did not die in the battle, so naturally there was no need to resurrect. He just had a lot of bandages wrapped around his body, sitting alone on a low peak at the edge of the old district, silently staring at the moonlight above his head.

"gentlemen?"

Seeing that the assassin did not respond, the staff repeated it again.

The assassin finally came back to his senses and turned his eyes away from the moonlight. "I see... wait for me for a moment. I'm going to the bathroom."

"Um... okay, then hurry up."

The staff member scratched his head in embarrassment, but finally walked down the short peak.

A breeze blew across the mountain peak, rustling the barren grass and trees. The assassin stood alone under the bright moonlight, with only the bright moon in the dark night in his eyes...

The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the ground in front of him, as if covered with a layer of white frost.

A faint breath spreads above the moonlight...

"……really."

The assassin seemed to have sensed something, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. "The moonlight, as a 'vision', contains an aura that is extremely similar to my 'Maohua'... I can't be wrong, this is the legend my father mentioned back then..."

The assassin pursed his lips slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he knelt on one knee and respectfully clasped his fists towards the bright moon overlooking the world.

"Young man Cui Ran, I have met the leader of the [Assassins]."

"What advice do you have?"

……

"Please come in, Mr. Huaimang." The staff behind him said, "...This is what you deserve."

The young master slowly stopped in front of the Tongtian Star.

He looked at the throne shrouded in starlight. Behind him, there seemed to be figures clapping and cheering in high spirits.

"Young Master! You really did it!"

"You are amazing, Young Master! You are the pride of our Tantric Sect! Father will definitely be very happy when you return this time."

"From now on, you will be the pillar of our Xuanyu Realm. When Master Tianhuai comes back, he will definitely be proud of you!"

"Young Sect Master, you must eat more in the future. The man who supports the Xuanyu Realm must grow stronger..."

"..."

The whimpering wind blew past the young master's ears, and the voices gradually disappeared.

In a trance, a towering figure unconsciously emerged in front of the young sect master's eyes. The person was standing in front of him, farther away than the Tongtian Star. After looking back at him, he walked into the darkness alone...leaving only a blurry and distant back.

"Brother... I will catch up with you soon." The young master silently clenched his fists, with a look of determination in his eyes.

"One day, I will rescue you from the Wuji Realm... and bring you home."

The young master stepped onto the Tongtian Star Position step by step and sat down on the throne...

The next moment, the stars are shining!

The Lord of the Tower of Tongtian and several representatives from different realms in the distance looked back and saw that several Tongtian star positions had been activated, with brilliant star pillars shooting straight into the sky.

"Of the seven Tongtian Stars, five have already chosen their masters, and one was destroyed by the Twilight Society... What should I do with the last spot?"

"I heard that some young geniuses from the more distant realms have not arrived yet, and the Red Dust Realm has not sent anyone either... How about this, the fight for the last star position will be extended for another week."

"Extend it for a week? That's fine... Then how do we screen the candidates? Do we have to compete?"

"Those selected for the competition are all Shinto who are good at fighting. We already have five such Shinto. For the last spot, we will give other Shinto some opportunities. Although some Shinto are not good at direct combat, they are extremely powerful, such as the Shinto of Medicine, the Shinto of Drama, etc...."

"The last star position will be screened uniformly by representatives from the five major realms based on potential and functionality."

"clear."

Just as several representatives from different realms were discussing, a figure hurriedly came running from a distance!

"What's going on? You're so flustered."

"There's news from the Wuji Realm again!"

Several representatives' faces suddenly turned serious and they asked solemnly, "What's going on?"

"It is said that the situation in the Wuji Realm is chaotic right now. A group of people have spontaneously crossed the edge of the Wuji Realm. It seems that they are planning to cross the Gray Realm on foot and seek refuge in the Tianshu Realm."

"what?"

Several representatives were stunned, and then asked, "How many people are there?"

“When we set out, there seemed to be two or three hundred people…but now, it’s hard to say.”

"Two or three hundred people? Crossing the Gray Realm on foot together? Are they crazy?" A representative frowned. "Once humans are exposed to the Gray Realm, they will continuously attract disasters, and they themselves will be affected by the Gray Realm, causing all kinds of abnormal changes... They are courting death!"

"Indeed, it is ridiculous to do so. Although the Wuji Realm is dangerous and chaotic, it should still be much safer than the Gray Realm."

Just as the representatives were puzzled, the messenger opened his mouth and said:

"It is said that... they did this because someone passed on a prophecy..."

"What prophecy?"

"The Wuji Realm is about to sacrifice the region where they are located to refine the Philosopher's Stone."

All the representatives were stunned at the same time.

"In the Wuji Realm, are they going to start refining the Philosopher's Stone again?" The Lord of Tongtian Tower narrowed his eyes, "Has Lord Wuji revived?"

"I don't know. All the information we have now is fragmentary. We can't accurately judge the situation in the Wuji Realm... But once this news spread, the residents in those regions became crazy. They all knew the tragic situations in the other regions. If they stayed where they were, they would definitely die."

"So... they took the risk and tried to cross the Gray Realm." The Lord of the Tower of Tongtian roughly understood the cause and effect, but there was one thing he still didn't understand.

"How did so many of them manage to pass through the Wuji Realm without making any noise? Wasn't it said that the place had been completely blocked off?"

"It was the folk witch gods scattered throughout the Wuji Realm who took action. In addition to the Witchcraft Association, there are also a large number of small and medium-sized witchcraft organizations in the Wuji Realm. After Brand's bloodbath, they have gone from open to secret... Moreover, they seem to have joined forces with the Judgment Delegation sent by our five major realms."

"Folk Wushendao..."

Several representatives murmured to themselves.

"Since they are a witchcraft organization, they must know how dangerous the Gray World is." A representative said in a deep voice, "They dare to escort such a group of unarmed people. Does it mean that they are confident that they can cross the Gray World?"

"No one below the seventh level dares to say that they are sure to cross the Gray Realm. I don't think there are any seventh-level Wushendao surviving in the current Wuji Realm."

"So they do this..."

"That's right." The messenger paused for a moment.

"It is said that those folk shamans have some means to resist the pollution of the gray world and isolate the human breath for a short period of time... It seems to be an object wrapped in bandages... Some people also say that it is a human with bandages wrapped all over his body."
