I'm not a drama god

next moment,

An old hand grabbed his wrist.

"It's not time to use your blood yet." Lu Xun's voice sounded calmly.

"You are the 'ultimate' in biological cytology, a 'god' who can tamper with gene sequences, and the only one among us who can live forever... Drinking your blood can indeed inhibit the shortening of telomeres and thus resist aging, but once you start, you must take it every day. Otherwise, not only will you age and die, but you will also suffer more cruel pain than withdrawal..."

Chu Changqing frowned and spoke without hesitation:

"It's just bleeding you every day. I can still support you alone."

Lu Xun shook his head. "It was because of your thoughts that you had so much blood drawn from you and used as an experiment for those people... You have been sleeping for more than three hundred years and now you have finally recovered. Don't you know how to cherish yourself?"

"But I did make a contribution, didn't I?" Chu Changqing asked back, "If it weren't for my blood, how could they have researched the supply fluid in this hibernation chamber? Without my efforts, there would be no 'Hibernation Plan', and mankind would not be able to survive for another three hundred years..."

"you are wrong."

Lu Xun smiled bitterly.

Chu Changqing frowned and looked at him with confusion, as if he didn't understand what was wrong with his logic.

"They haven't cracked the secret of your blood, let alone developed a substance that can prolong life... The so-called supply fluid is just the blood you drew that year, diluted and processed in large quantities."

Lu Xun looked at Chu Changqing's cyan eyes with a complicated expression, and slowly said, "I told you that you are the 'ultimate' in biological cell science. Do you really think that group of scientists can decipher the miracle of you... No, they can't even decipher a single strand of your hair.

You are the top doctor in biological cell biology, but even you can't understand your own changes, right?"

Chu Changqing opened his mouth and finally fell silent.

What Lu Xun said was right.

Chu Changqing had used his own blood, hair, and even organ slices for research countless times, but no matter what, he could not figure out the reasons for the various changes in himself... Not only himself, but also the changes in the other nine monarchs, he could not understand them either.

Mastering the ability and trying to use the current level of human technology to explain the theoretical logic behind all these supernatural phenomena are two different things...

"…but you're dying."

Chu Changqing did not dwell on what happened in the past anymore. He just looked at those exhausted eyes with a very serious tone.

"I know." Lu Xun smiled slightly, "I came to wake you up, not because I want to rely on your blood to survive... but because I want you to take over this era."

"What do you mean?"

“…[It] is coming back soon.”

Hearing this, Chu Changqing's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Are you serious?" He said in a deep voice, "That thing will really come back? Then..."

"No one knows celestial bodies better than me. Although I have been asleep for three hundred years, the small mechanism I set up back then has been helping me deduce the time of its return... Now, the answer has appeared." Lu Xun paused for a moment.

“No one knows what will happen when it comes back this time… And in this era, some of the Nine Lords are asleep, and some have died in battle. Someone must stand up and unite the entire human race, otherwise these realms will still be in disarray.”

"If that's the case, then you are the most suitable candidate!" Chu Changqing's tone was a little excited.

"It was you who brought us together, and it was you who led everyone through the darkest time. We all recognize you... You are a natural leader, no matter what era you are in."

"Your blood is humanity's most important strategic resource and needs to be used on the most important people."

"Among the Nine Lords, who is more important than you?"

Lu Xun looked into his eyes and said nothing.

Chu Changqing seemed to understand something. He was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly.

"I understand... You came to wake me up so that I can use my blood to prolong that person's life when necessary..."

"He is stronger than me, stronger than anyone else. He is the hope of the future of mankind." Lu Xun said slowly, "I have said before... facing an insurmountable disaster, the only weapon of mankind is unity."

"Why don't you wake him up now?"

"It's too early now. Once he wakes up, he can only rely on your blood to keep him alive... The longer you keep him alive, the weaker you will become. So, you can only wait until the time is right and wake him up yourself."

"When is the right time?"

"That's for you to judge."

Chu Changqing slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled...full of helplessness and sadness.

"Lu Xun, I can't be like you... I'm not cut out to be a leader."

"People always have to grow."

Lu Xun raised his old hand and patted Chu Changqing on the shoulder.

The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, and the next moment he began to cough weakly. The starlight surrounding him became brighter and darker as he coughed, and swarmed towards his body.

Seeing this, Chu Changqing's eyes flickered with anxiety. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything...

"……I have to go now."

Lu Xun coughed for a long time before speaking hoarsely.

"Where?"

"Return to the sky." A faint smile appeared on Lu Xun's pale face. He pointed to the starlight lingering around him and said, "...with them."

Lu Xun's life has come to an end, and Chu Changqing is well aware of this. After getting this answer, he did not try to persuade him further, but slowly closed his eyes, and no expression could be seen clearly.

"……Um."

"Goodbye forever." The starlight around Lu Xun became brighter and brighter, and he seemed to be drowned by it, melting into the light bit by bit...

"Give my regards to the other nine gentlemen."

The next moment, Lu Xun raised his hand in the starlight, and his gray eyes burst into starlight again... It was as if there was a hot and sincere soul living in the old body.

His gaze traveled through space, as if he was looking directly at the boundless starry sky in the universe. In the shining light, he seemed to have turned back into the child in the orphanage who longed for the stars... He stretched out his five fingers, as if he wanted to grab the entire sky.

"……pick me up."

The starlight guided his body for the last time and carried it directly across the earth. His body disappeared at the South China Sea base and also disappeared in front of Chu Changqing.

Only the faint starlight remains, flickering silently...

I do not know how long it has been,

Chu Changqing's sigh sounded in the dead silence.

……

Rumbling--

Every block in the Tianshu Realm returned to its original position amid the roar. The huge gears were turning, transforming the city into a different shape bit by bit...

"When the Tianshu Realm was first built, Lord Tianshu installed mechanisms in it... In the final analysis, this is a huge calculation field..."

“What is it calculating?”

"The day when the fate of mankind comes to an end..." The Tower of Babel paused for a moment, "or in other words, the day when the Red Star passes by the Earth for the second time."

"Now, the final form of the Tianshu Realm has begun to emerge... This means..."

"Chixing will be back soon."

The mysterious epidemic that was the culprit for the decline of human civilization more than three hundred years ago and caused the intersection of the gray world is about to come back again. Will it bring new disasters, destruction, or nothing at all?

No one knows the answer.

When the final answer calculated by Tianshu Jun appeared in front of everyone through the Tianshu Realm, the alarm bell of human destiny had already sounded, and the countdown to destruction slowly started in silence...
