I Am Not The God Of Drama Chapter 842

[ … words ]

Stepping on Starlight, A Grand Exit

[Audience Expectation Value +4]

[Current Expectation Value: 38%]

Actually, Chen Ling wasn’t sure at the beginning either.

He only knew that a wisp of the Lord of Tianshu’s consciousness was hidden within the Star Cluster, but he didn’t know if this consciousness possessed the ability to think, or if it could be awakened… He also didn’t know if everything he did in the Timeline Save File would truly affect the real world.

But being forced into such a desperate situation, Chen Ling had no other choice but to take a gamble;

Now it seems, he bet right.

The events that happened in the Timeline Save File would indeed affect the real world, but he hadn’t figured out exactly how yet… However, no matter what, the most important hurdle at the moment was passed.

Chen Ling slowly turned around, his gaze looking at the deathly silent Tianshu Domain below, and those countless pairs of confused and uncomprehending eyes.

“Walking the red carpet, huh…”

Chen Ling still clearly remembered that the performance condition this time was [Walk a grand and complete ‘red carpet’ under the watchful eyes of the public]… Now it seems, both “watchful eyes of the public” and the “red carpet” were already met, it just depended on whether it was grand and complete.

Chen Ling asked himself honestly, on this trip for the Heaven-Reaching Star Position, he had accumulated enough Expectation Value, completed his rebirth, and even unlocked his own Domain, leaving no regrets at all… But the ones walking the red carpet this time, wasn’t just him alone.

Chen Ling turned to look at Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian, and suddenly spoke:

“Do you guys still have any regrets?”

Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian: ???

“Hearts, what do you mean?” Sun Bumian exclaimed, hugging himself. “You’re not planning to silence us, are you?!”

“?”

Chen Ling was somewhat speechless, “I’m serious.”

Jian Changsheng looked down at the Scabbard in his hand. After a moment of silence, he silently clutched it tight, “I don’t have any regrets anyway… In fact, it’s so complete that it makes me suspect I’m dreaming.”

Seeing this scene before his eyes, Chen Ling suddenly felt a lingering fear…

He realized that if he hadn’t followed his heart in a moment of hot-headedness and brought Jian Changsheng back to snatch the Heaven-Reaching Star Position, then they would have been fleeing in a sorry state, instead of making a complete exit… If that were the case, then this performance couldn’t be completed, and who knew when the next chance to find a “watchful eyes of the public” “red carpet” would be.

By helping Jian Changsheng snatch back the Heaven-Reaching Star Position, Chen Ling had also invisibly completed the performance condition for himself;

“What about you? Do you have any regrets?” Chen Ling turned to look at Sun Bumian.

“Yes! I have so many regrets!”

Chen Ling’s heart skipped a beat.

Sun Bumian spoke with bitter anguish,

“I participated in the competition for the Heaven-Reaching Star Position to lay low until the final few places, and then take the one million prize money… In the end, a Kongwang popped up, I exposed myself, and the prize money completely vanished!

My thirty bucks registration fee! Gone without a return!!!”

Chen Ling: …

“That’s it?” Jian Changsheng recovered his senses, and also regained a trace of his usual cheap temperament. He clicked his tongue in disdain, pointing at Chen Ling and saying,

“Do you know who this guy is? Hmm?

The Dusk Society’s financial backer, everyone’s money tree! This guy goes out once and earns several hundred million. The salaries of everyone in the Dusk Society are earned by him… This is a true golden thigh! Isn’t this much more worthwhile than a one million prize?”

Hearing this, Sun Bumian looked at Chen Ling in surprise, the eyes behind his small Round Sunglasses lighting up.

“Hearts, then can you reimburse me for this time’s one million prize money?”

Usually, Chen Ling would definitely roll his eyes and then turn around and leave… But thinking that the performance condition this time was “complete”, just to be safe, he chose to agree first.

“Tch, what are you dreaming about? I’ve been mixing with Hearts for so long, and I’ve never seen him…”

Before Jian Changsheng’s voice fell, Chen Ling suddenly spoke:

“Okay, but I don’t have cash right now, I can only pay in installments.”

Jian Changsheng: ?!

Jian Changsheng stared at Chen Ling with wide eyes, his eyes full of shock and unfamiliarity.

“That’s great! Next time I want to eat King Crab too!!” Sun Bumian chuckled, his tightly knitted brows smoothing out.

“No… aren’t we still being hunted down and running for our lives? Is it appropriate to leisurely discuss what to eat on someone else’s territory??” Jian Changsheng couldn’t help but speak, pointing towards the Old District, “The Killing Intent over there is almost condensing into physical form, hey!”

“With the Lord of Tianshu paving the way for us, even if they break free from the secret treasure, what can they do?” Chen Ling spoke indifferently. “We haven’t done anything wrong to begin with, there’s no need to flee in a panic like a Dog With No Home.”

“Then we…”

“Throw your chests out, gentlemen.”

Chen Ling stepped on the resplendent starlight beneath his feet, adjusted the collar and cuffs of his Theatrical Robe. Like a VIP attending in full dress, he stepped calmly onto the bright red carpet under the watchful eyes of the public!

He walked forward with calm and unhurried steps.

“Today, we are going to act in front of everyone in the Five Great Realms…”

“Stepping on Starlight, A Grand Exit.”

Snap—!

Chen Ling snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, millions of Playing Cards sprinkled out from the grand starlight path, falling profusely and disorderly upon the Tianshu Domain like a heavy snowfall…

Like gorgeous confetti blooming by the red carpet, dreamlike and illusory.

The confused public on the streets watched helplessly as those Playing Cards submerged the city. The red and black Card Faces intertwined together. The countless number “6”s were like a nightmare present everywhere, dancing around them.

[Six of Hearts], [Six of Spades], [Six of Diamonds].

Bang—!!

Several explosive sounds came from within the Old District.

As the effects brought by the Dao Foundation secret treasure disappeared, the five domain representatives almost simultaneously broke free from the restraints of the wooden chairs. Amidst a burst of explosions, fragments of the chairs splashed all over the ground.

They looked at the city full of Playing Cards, and the trio leaving stylishly on the starlight path, their complexions incomparably ugly!

“Do we still chase?” A Tower to Heaven higher-up asked.

“How do we chase? Can you pierce through the Lord of Tianshu’s Star Cluster?”

“… Then we just watch them leave helplessly? Unable to do anything?!”

“Taking action now, and failing to pierce through the Star Cluster, will only make us look even more miserable… Forget it, let it be, let them go.”

The Master of the Babel Tower watched this scene, helplessly shaking his head. His whole person seemed to have aged a dozen years, deep exhaustion emerging in his eyes…

The several representatives were very clear in their hearts.

After this time, the credibility of the Five Great Realms’ officials would probably plummet.

“The inherently meager and weak Human Luck has been snatched away a trace by the Dusk Society again…” The Master of the Babel Tower looked at the remaining six Heaven-Reaching Star Positions, bitterness rising in his eyes, as he muttered to himself,

“Could it be that this time, heaven really wants to destroy our human race?”
