I'm not a drama god

Chapter 1601 The Play of All Beings

The toad looked at Chen Ling with suspicion, and after a moment, turned its gaze to the fierce battle raging in the Bitter Flesh Forest.

It eventually carried Chen Ling on its back and rushed off in that direction.

We'll find out which of these two kings is real and which is fake once we meet... If the one on its body is real, then it has followed the king's orders. If the one in the Bitter Flesh Forest is real, then it has voluntarily delivered the enemy to the king.

At the same time, Bi Yi, carrying Wu Tongyuan and the others, sped off in the opposite direction.

[Audience Expectation Value +3]

[Current expected value: 76%]

Two lines of small print swept past Chen Ling's eyes, but he had no interest in reading them. His gaze was fixed on the approaching Bitter Flesh Forest, and his brain was racing.

There are still more than twenty minutes left before this save point ends... How is he going to survive this time?

With his current strength, if he were to face the calamity head-on, he probably wouldn't last even five seconds. Even if the audience expects him to have another chance to be reborn, it would only be five more seconds.

Does this mean I'm going to die twice more, unleashing the full power of the calamity?

He can unleash the complete Chaos, but how can he regain control of his body afterward? What if he returns to the real world not as himself, but as another brutal, fully-formed Chaos? Then all of humanity is doomed!

After pondering for a long time, Chen Ling closed her eyes and focused her mind on the theater in her mind.

……

Dengdengdeng-

The familiar sound rang out again from above, and as numerous spotlights were turned on, Chen Ling opened her eyes with a worried expression under the watchful eyes of everyone.

He walked straight to the screen on the stage and pressed the treasure chest icon in the corner.

As a burst of rousing music began, Chen Ling turned around and saw a familiar long table had appeared on the previously empty stage.

Chen Ling has one more chance to draw her abilities.

In the recent earth-shattering battle, Chen Ling completed two performances in a row. He only drew one reward, which granted him the ability to invade the mind of the calamity. He kept the other reward to himself, waiting for a critical moment to use it flexibly...

There is probably no situation more critical than the current one.

But whose power should be extracted to give him a chance to escape his current certain death? Who can help him stall for more than twenty minutes against the Taunting Calamity? Or rather, who can help him regain his body after the Taunting Calamity is fully unleashed?

Chen Ling stood in front of the table, pen in hand, but hesitated to write...

Aurora Lord Yang Xiao?

He already possessed the ability regarding the soul magnetic field... but while this ability could be used to slay evil spirits, it couldn't be used to break through the fourth wall.

Thinking of disaster?

Theoretically speaking, its ability could indeed help it break out of the theater's encirclement, but that was something only a world-destroying level calamity could barely accomplish back then. With its current strength, could it really achieve the same effect?

At that moment, countless names flashed through Chen Ling's mind, but he rejected them all one by one, and the anxiety in his eyes grew stronger.

The pressure on him was immense. The name he was about to write down not only directly determined who the "person" returning to the real world would be, but it could even influence the fate of all humanity...

"master……"

What should I do?

When he was at his wit's end, the image of the Five Dynasties Red King appeared in Chen Ling's mind, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Chen Ling was startled.

"……master?"

As if struck by a sudden thought, he wrote a name on the table:

——【Chen Yan】.

When he was at his wit's end, Chen Ling chose to gamble his fate on the person who had the most profound influence on him.

As the last stroke fell, the papers on the table vanished instantly, and at the same time, a row of neat cards appeared in the void before their eyes... That was the talent that Chen Yan of Frost Street, who had not yet grown up, should have possessed, and it was also the treasure left by the nameless actor of the fifth generation to Chen Ling.

Chen Ling took a deep breath and, relying on her intuition, chose one of the cards.

The cards are flipped over.

A message entered Chen Ling's mind:

Skill: [Play of All Beings]

"Belongs to: The Way of the God of Drama, the Path of [Ancient and Modern Drama Heart], the eighth level."

Character: Chen Yan.

Chen Ling was stunned.

He sensed the description of this ability in his mind, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, followed by bitterness and complexity...

"Master...is this your answer?"

What Chen Ling drew out was none other than the ability of the Five Dynasties Red King to write character biographies and shape "all living beings"... It was also the ability that the Five Dynasties Red King used when he created the character "Chen Ling".

Chen Ling was born because of this ability in the past, and now he has become the owner of this ability.

Perhaps it truly was a sign of fate, or perhaps it was one of the contingency plans left behind by the five generations of Red Kings...

The moment Chen Ling gained this ability, she thought of a way to break the deadlock.

If the Red King of yesteryear was able to create himself among numerous mocking personalities through a biography... then why can't he, who now possesses the "Drama of All Beings," create another personality in the same way?

Since only by unleashing the complete Taunt Disaster can one combat the fully-formed Taunt Disaster of this era, there's no need to worry about how to fight it. He just needs to find a way to transform the Taunt Disaster personality occupying this body into the personality he desires...

To recreate another "Chen Ling"?

Do not……

My own "Drama of All Beings" can't portray a character with such detail. Chen Ling's experiences are too convoluted; good and evil are separated by a single thought. Coupled with his inherently evil nature and his tendency to mock disaster, even if he were to recreate himself, without sufficient trials and tribulations and a clear understanding of his own goals, his ideology would still be immature…

In the worst-case scenario, the new "Chen Ling" will also choose to stand on the side of calamity; in the best-case scenario, he will directly become the "he" who was just expelled from the South China Sea and only wanted to return to the Ghostly Abyss to be alone in peace.

This new personality must possess a sufficiently strong sense of justice and conviction, so that even with world-destroying power like the Calamity, it can still maintain its true self...

Moreover, he must have enough faith in himself because he must return to the stage, which means that this personality must ultimately sacrifice everything to fulfill itself.

Sheets of paper appeared out of thin air in Chen Ling's hand. He was about to write something when he suddenly paused slightly.

and many more……

Such a "role" doesn't seem to need to be made up out of thin air?

Chen Ling's consciousness returned to his body, and he directly pulled the large red paper umbrella from the void and gently opened it... Under the surging aurora, countless souls floated and sank within it; those were all the dead souls that Chen Ling had brought back from the old site of the Aurora Realm!

Chen Ling's gaze swept across the aurora and finally landed on the phantom of one of the souls!
