As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

The Shadow faction became Shadow People, the Spirit Master faction became Dream Eaters, and the Warrior faction became Celestials.

Strictly speaking, none of these three beings can be considered human anymore, as their life forms have all changed.

If Zifeng can simultaneously achieve sublimation, becoming a Celestial Being after his spirit separates from his body to become a Dream Eater, and then transforming his body into one with attributes suitable for spiritual power, it will be an unprecedented evolution.

Although it will be very difficult and the chances are slim, if successful, the future will be limitless and one will be invincible among peers.

Therefore, he was considered by the prophet to be the only one who could possibly surpass Shangyang.

Therefore, Shangyang included Zifeng in his guards, teaching and guiding him day and night, and allocating many resources to him.

Shang Yang's goal is to cultivate a powerful figure who can give humanity true hope and drive out all the outer gods' followers. He is willing to sacrifice himself to pave the way for Zi Feng.

Later, Shang Yang perished, and the original plan changed. Under the most difficult circumstances, Zi Feng abandoned the warrior system and focused on the spiritual master system. In an extremely dangerous situation, he became a dream eater, but an accident occurred during the process. His powerful body bound his spirit, causing his spirit to be unable to transcend and resulting in an inexplicable change.

However, because Shangyang and the Prophet valued him, Zifeng received many resources and guidance in the past, and coupled with his tenacious will, he did not explode and die.

And so he became the weakest Dream Eater, a warrior incapable of fighting—and the decision-maker of Project Crimson Edge.

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter 52: The Drowned Sun

The prophet returned to his native planet.

This place has been completely reduced to ruins, beyond repair. Large swathes of celestial debris have been separated and disintegrated during the fierce battle, creating a truly horrifying sight.

The two real relatives are fighting fiercely with Tendou Kagura and Shangyang.

Shang Yang was radiant, rising like the sun in the chaos, his every move radiating light, and his mouth uttering the Heavenly Mandate.

Meanwhile, Kagura Tendou stands in the universe, drawing her bow and shooting arrows. She is as agile as a dragon and as swift as a tiger. Her body contains immense power, and she gradually adapts to the king's strength, forming her own fighting style. Each arrow bursts forth with powerful force, tearing through the sky and capable of injuring real familiars from a distance, constantly wearing them down.

The fluctuations of their mental energy were like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami echoing through the universe, occasionally drawing out immense power to pull down the meteorite swarm and smash it into the enemy.

However, relatively speaking, the real relatives still have the advantage, and are in a cat-and-mouse situation.

Because Shangyang lost his royal authority, he fought entirely by relying on the will of all the people of the world. Although he was extremely powerful, his strength was inevitably insufficient.

However, the power of the Heavenly Path Kagura can only be displayed briefly and cannot last forever, thanks to the king's position.

After a long and fierce battle, he vaguely sensed that his power of rank was weakening and was no longer as strong as it had been initially. He might fall to the bottom at some point.

Moreover, relatively speaking, it's not actually two against two, but rather two against one.

As for why the true followers didn't exterminate them all, he might have realized it, because these two outer god followers were wary.

They fear Shang Yang; if they push him too hard, his spirit and will might return to their proper place, potentially unleashing a desperate attack.

Therefore, they dared not get too close, but instead fought by roaming around, mainly to delay, waiting for the return of the Eternal Darkness's Familiar, or for the power of their rank to disappear, before launching a fatal blow.

Chains of divine rules surged forth, forming a cage; they were highly experienced.

But the prophets returned first, and they lured away the Dark Families. Zifeng delayed for a moment, so the prophets returned earlier than the Dark Families.

He appeared beside Shang Yang and said, "Zifeng is dead!"

Shang Yang was bathed in brilliant light. Upon hearing the news, his expression was obscured, but one could sense that the sun seemed to waver for a moment.

"There's only one person left." He raised his hand and used his mental power to force back the true members of his family.

After that attack, the originally brilliant light suddenly dimmed considerably.

He gazed at the prophet, the last living man in the world, and said without joy or sorrow, "Go."

"Please tell Donglan I'm sorry." After saying this, the prophet swayed, as if he could no longer support himself, and the profound meaning in his eyes quickly dissipated.

He was not the subject of consciousness, but rather a residual force.

They have been using all sorts of methods to persist until now, all because they are overdrawing Donglan's spirituality.

After the prophet's power dissipated, Donglan returned to her true self and was greeted by her own aged hands, wrinkles covering her cheeks, gray hair, and a sense of powerlessness in her body. She looked like an old woman on her deathbed, standing hunched over next to Shangyang.

This is the price she paid; she used methods she shouldn't have, and her lifespan is running out.

However, Donglan didn't pay attention to her own appearance, but instead noticed the people around her.

She lost consciousness after the prophet's arrival, and now that she has awakened, she feels confused and can't remember anything.

"Shangyang, great leader, you're back..." Donglan stared at the sun, her sunken eyes involuntarily streaming down her face, tears welling up from the deep sorrow in her heart and the immense emptiness of losing her pillar.

Shang Yang didn't look at her, but instead withdrew the blessing he had placed on Dong Lan.

She allowed the chaotic mist to erode her.

Shang Yang whispered, "The prophet told me to say sorry..."

This time, the sun nodded in agreement.

Donglan stretched out her aged palm, its skin cracked and covered with age spots, like withered tree bark. She waved her hand in confusion at the void.

She spoke very slowly, her voice filled with fear: "Where am I? I can't see anything..."

The chaotic mist is a vast expanse of white, where no mortal life can hear or see anything. It will be eroded by the chaotic mist until it falls to the end of the abyss.

She was the last living being in this world.

In the distance, Kagura Tendou was sent flying. He was no match for two True Familiars and was on the verge of death. He was being suppressed by the True Familiars, and the immense pressure caused his body to twist and almost break apart.

However, he used the meteor to shatter those mental forces and broke free once again.

Then his emotions surged, and he teetered on the edge of life and death. The stimulation was too intense, and his spiritual blood was activated at a deeper level. Powerful energy filled his entire body. He roared through the chaos, then drew his bow, and the power he gathered directly crushed a real member of his kin.

However, he was also targeted by another true member of the family, and his body flew sideways, smashing a meteorite scattered on the battlefield.

He coughed up blood, realizing that his internal energy was weakening. That arrow was his last bit of strength. He staggered to his feet, only to be swept away again, breaking his bones and tendons.

Real relatives are approaching.

The moment has finally arrived. The glorious power of their status is waning. Even if Shang Yang returns, there's no need to worry that he'll drag them along.

'An ant, without the support of status, you are nothing before us.'

Despite bleeding from all seven orifices, Tendou Kagura was still shouting, "You bastard, why didn't you dare speak so loudly just now!"

'They're just the people of the world; I'll crush them at will, then kill Shang Yang and devour the world's origin.'

'The Eternal Darkness has slain the Flesh and Blood Familiar… It has reached its critical point and is about to become a legendary being. We should be wary. Let's absorb some of its essence and then leave this world to avoid any unforeseen events.'

'After guarding this world for so many years, the time to reap the rewards has finally arrived. By absorbing the power of three or five more worlds, we should be able to reach the critical point and complete the final ritual.'

They communicated as if no one else was around, completely disregarding Tendou Kagura. When they approached, a surge of psychic power erupted, intending to crush Tendou Kagura, but a burst of psychic power stopped them.

Shang Yang appeared here, as tall and imposing as ever, like an immortal god.

"You've already wiped out this world, and now you want to kill life from other worlds right in front of me?"

His words were calm, but now they carried an inexplicable air of authority, like a deity standing in the chaos.

The two real relatives silently distanced themselves, feeling that Shang Yang was acting strangely at this moment.

Why do they have a creepy feeling about them?

Beside Shang Yang was Dong Lan, who resembled a confused old woman who had not yet been completely corrupted. Although her aged skin had turned a deep pale white, she could still move. Perhaps it was because of her extraordinary talent that she could survive in the chaos for a while.

When Tendou Kagura saw Donglan, she was immediately surprised. The graceful woman from before had become such an old woman, unable to stand steadily and seemingly about to fall over.

Tendou Kagura struggled to her feet and helped her up. Donglan had been a great help to him, giving him a lot of useful information.

"What's wrong with her...?"

“Life is short, just like this world, which is about to fall into an abyss,” Shang Yang said.

Donglan seemed somewhat delirious, her withered, pale lips trembling as she murmured, "The sun spoke..."

Tendou Kagura sighed softly, "That's Shangyang."

"Shangyang, great leader, light of humanity..." She shook her head, her extremely pale hair falling out in large quantities, and her body was being further eroded.

The Heavenly Dao Divine Music infused her with some life essence, stabilizing her condition.

“Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, let it come, let it go.” Shang Yang suddenly said, staring at Donglan, seemingly unmoved, only indifferent and cold.

"As the last life in the world fades away, Kagura, before you descended here, did you know this would happen?"

"I came for the world, solely to kill my enemies." Kagura Tendou answered silently, showing no surprise.

"Who is the enemy?" Shang Yang asked.

Scanning his surroundings, he saw the Eternal Darkness Familia that had already arrived, and the True Familia that were eyeing him menacingly. The weakest of the Flesh Familia was dead, so he had avenged one-third of the grudge.

"Whoever harms the world is my enemy," Tendou Kagura said, believing it to be the most justifiable reason.

Shang Yang shook his head and said, "Do you know what you're fighting for?"

He asked casually, but Tendou Kagura hesitated. Having been here for so long and fighting alongside Shang Yang for half a day, this was the first time they had communicated like this. He felt that Shang Yang was a person with great personal charisma and a leader worth following. The failure of the resistance army could only be attributed to non-competence.

He had fought against the Eternal Darkness Families and also battled against the True Families, and knew the difference in their levels. It was already quite remarkable that Shang Yang had managed to hold on until now.

When Tendou Kagura remained silent, Shang Yang did not press her further, knowing that Tendou Kagura had no answer.

So he calmly said, "It's better if you don't understand. If you did, it would be very difficult for you, just like it was for me."

"Walking alone in the dark, you have to bear it all by yourself. You can't see any hope. It's bitter and helpless. You don't know who to confide in or who to rely on..." he murmured to himself.

Tiandao Shenle was slightly moved and stared blankly at Shang Yang, this tall man, who was like a mountain peak that stood tall and firm, so indestructible.

Now, he says this, revealing not weakness, but ruthlessness.

"Waaah..." Donglan suddenly burst into tears, like a desolate old woman in her twilight years, overwhelmed with grief, tears streaming down her face.

She had lost herself, and the tears she shed at this moment were a testament to the overwhelming grief in her heart, as if a heavy stone were pressing down on it, an indescribable sorrow.

Supported by Kagura, she reached out to touch the sun, weeping and lamenting, "The sun is leaving us! I hear it! Its last rays are crying out for help in the chaos! We must save it, or it will drown..."

Those who break my heart must die: Chapter 53: You broke my heart, so I will kill you. [End of this volume]

She seemed to have Alzheimer's disease, speaking extremely childish words, her already sensitive heart filled with fear and anxiety.

"I am willing to sacrifice myself to save the setting sun, to pay any price to bring it up again..."

Shangyang gazed at Donglan, her majestic and unmoving figure hanging in the sky, looking down upon the joys and sorrows of humankind.

He muttered to himself.

“I have failed the prophet, I have failed to fulfill his mission. I illuminated everyone but not the prophet, causing his consciousness to descend into madness and chaos, and I was powerless to do anything about it.”
