The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

But why is he saying thank you to me?

He understood the false god's apology to Leonhardt at the end, but he didn't understand why the other party was thanking him.

She knew all this; she couldn't possibly be unaware that she had extinguished her last hope of recovery, and shouldn't be thanking herself.

unless……

A cool, aloof voice rang out from the side. The mysterious woman with light-colored eyes withdrew her gaze and spoke softly:

"Is there anything you don't understand?"

He wanted to remain silent, but after a moment of silence, Ning Feng spoke directly:

"Why didn't you stop it? Didn't you say you were waiting for this situation to happen?"

The mysterious woman countered with:

Why should I stop you?

Why? Is that even a question?

Haven't you been maintaining this situation all along?

“You haven’t figured one thing out… What I’m waiting for is never for them to pull off some miracle.”

"What she, or rather he, was hoping for was no longer a recovery."

Turning her gaze away from the shattered golden light, she whispered:

"What he has longed for has always been only one thing... liberation."

"Besides, since this is all your choice, I won't stop you."

My choice?

Ning Feng's brows, which had been furrowed, furrowed even more. He knew that the false god incident was over, and the other party was about to talk about him next...

“I have been given many titles and honors, but I don’t like any of them. I don’t even particularly like the title of ‘Stargazer’.”

...[Stargazer]?

Ning Feng raised an eyebrow at the somewhat familiar name; he was quite certain he had heard it somewhere before.

Long ago, in some special documents...

“But I only kept the title of ‘Stargazer’ because in the past, only stargazers could find the way.”

where is it?

Ning Feng's usually sharp mind became unusually sluggish at this moment. He felt that some information was about to emerge, but it was as if it was being forcibly covered up.

As Ning Feng struggled, he finally broke free of the restraints and remembered what the name "Stargazer" meant.

Then, he fell into a daze.

The Watchers have only one Stargazer...

A legend whose name, gender, and strength are unknown.

A legendary figure unknown to all Watchers.

An ancient, powerful, and even great legendary Watcher.

And now, this legendary figure is sitting right next to him...

!

!

The stargazer quietly observed Ning Feng's gradually changing expression and said:

"What I have been searching for and waiting for is hope."

"A person who can save them, lead them in rebellion against the gods, and truly bring them salvation and hope."

As Ning Feng's gaze grew increasingly dazed, the stargazer smiled.

Even though he couldn't see her expression beneath the veil, Ning Feng could still tell that she had a somewhat tired smile on her face at that moment.

she says:

"And now, I have achieved my goal."

"Because... I've finally waited for you."

"[The Prophet]".

Chapter 238 [The Prophet]

[The Prophet]?

Being watched by the stargazers, Ning Feng found the way she addressed him rather strange.

Was she addressing me?

Am I a prophet?

!

!

Dongdong.

The original body, which remained in place, suddenly widened its eyes, and its heart skipped a beat.

The unfamiliar name stirred something within Ning Feng.

What does it feel like?

Ning Feng was certain he had never heard of the name before, but for some reason it felt familiar at this moment.

It seemed that this name had echoed in his ears countless times, so many that he could not forget it.

Even if there is no trace of it in my memory, it has already left a deep imprint on my soul.

This name is etched permanently into my soul.

It cannot be changed.

Am I a prophet?

But I have never shown any prophetic talent!

When Ning Feng heard the term "prophet," his first thought was of those prophetic spellcasters who used divination magic to try to glimpse fate.

That kind of title is more fitting for those who try to find an uncertain future in the long river of fate.

Why do stargazers consider themselves prophets?

It doesn't fit at all; I'm not even a spellcaster.

At most, he has a sixth sense, but otherwise he has no connection to prophecy.

I don't understand...

Observing Ning Feng's reaction silently, the Stargazer nodded and then said:

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem to understand the meaning of this title."

meaning?

Ning Feng really couldn't imagine what other meaning this straightforward title, which revealed the essence of things, could have.

"The Prophet is different from the prophetic spellcasters you are familiar with; he can do much more."

"He is a man freer than the gods; his destiny is not on the chessboard of the gods."

All living beings are subject to destiny; birth, aging, sickness, and death are inescapable.

Even gods cannot escape the shackles of fate; they too will fall and, like mortals, will be unable to change the control of destiny.

The gods, who are superior to mortals, place all living beings on a chessboard as their pieces, and throw dice to decide their fate.

However, there will always be special circumstances.

There is a different kind of person; they are born as if they have leaped out of the river of fate.

They are not subject to the observation of prophetic spells, and their future is forever a mystery.

Their existence is undetectable by the gods, they cannot be controlled, and they cannot become pawns in their hands.

"The path of destiny is laid bare before the prophet; he will always find the right path."

"A prophet is someone who is truly favored by the world and given hope by it."

Ning Feng remained silent in response to the stargazer's explanation.

The stargazer had no reason to deceive Ning Feng, but Ning Feng did not intend to accept her words entirely; he held some doubts about them.

If the prophet were truly as free and powerful as she claimed, she certainly wouldn't be an unknown figure.

Why have I never heard their story before?

Seeing through Ning Feng's thoughts, the Stargazer spoke calmly:

"And regarding the 'prophet,' here is an example you may have heard of."

"In the darkest of times, there was a man who led everyone to find hope in despair."

Ok?

The Dark Ages were a tragic era, but times create heroes, and many legendary figures emerged.

However, Ning Feng reacted to the word "everyone" in the stargazer's words, a word that cannot be used casually.

"His parents were commodity slaves kept by slave traders, and he was branded as a slave from birth."

"When he was a child, he successfully led all the slaves to rebel against the slave traders, liberating those who had never been free from the beginning and giving them their own names and dignity."

"After that, he led this group of people on a journey through the world under the watchful eyes of the gods, trying to escape their pursuit."

“From the initial few hundred people, to several thousand... more and more people followed him, making the escape increasingly difficult.”

"Pursuit by divine creations, malice from extraordinary creatures, harsh environments and perilous locations..."

The stargazer described in a calm tone everything those people had gone through, including the despair and pain they felt at the time.
