The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Ning Feng really wanted to ask Alice why she changed her mind at the end, so he honestly thought about it for a while.

Who am I?

A very philosophical question.

【who I am?】

He had actually been thinking about this problem from the very beginning.

From the moment his consciousness first awakened in that dark and cold slave dungeon, he began to ponder.

At that time, he received an incomplete answer.

He has his own name.

He is Ning Feng.

The son of a slave who has lost his family and has nothing.

Later, during those two years of travel, he still did not give up thinking.

For a complete person, having only a name is far from enough.

As for himself, there are still many things that Ning Feng doesn't understand.

His past, his present, and his future.

Even the most destitute slaves didn't appear out of thin air; they had parents and relatives, and they had their own thoughts...

Ning Feng, on the other hand, didn't even feel envy towards those people; he was just a cold, icy monster who craved the blood of his enemies to warm himself.

He had nothing; his past was a complete blank.

All memories are gone, all loved ones have disappeared, and it's as if there's no connection to this world whatsoever.

He was like a lonely ghost who appeared out of nowhere in this world, wandering on this long journey.

Even though everyone sees him as an omnipotent prophet, Ning Feng has also experienced moments of confusion in places unknown to anyone.

Why do I possess special abilities that set me apart from others?

"What exactly do I want to do here?"

"What the hell am I?"

……

Ning Feng ultimately failed to find answers to these questions. If he were to ponder them alone, it might take him a very long time to arrive at a less-than-perfect conclusion.

Fortunately, he was not alone on his journey; more and more people chose to follow him.

Ning Feng received a new definition from someone else.

He is a prophet.

A great leader who was followed by many and knew everything.

It will find the ultimate bright future in the endless darkness.

Ning Feng remained confused by such evaluations, but ultimately chose to accept this identity.

This may not be his true nature, but at least it meets other people's expectations.

If it weren't for this incident, he would have continued to evolve into the image his followers had of him, and might eventually have become the person they imagined.

but now……

Ning Feng smiled quietly, shook his head, and smiled at Alice:

"I don't know; I can't come to an answer on my own."

Excellent answer: I don't know.

Alice: ...?

The answer sounded perfunctory, but it was indeed the conclusion Ning Feng reached after endless confusion and careful consideration.

Before Alice could ask a question, Ning Feng turned around and looked at the distant birds and cooking smoke, then at the busy crowd.

"I understand my own nature, but I can't give you an answer."

Looking in that direction, Ning Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered:

"I don't really know who I am, but the way they see me... I think it's pretty good."

"Therefore, I will fulfill their expectations."

!!!

Alice was standing right next to her, so she could clearly feel the change in the aura of the person next to her!

Ning Feng's demeanor began to change rapidly, transforming from a somewhat confused and gentle young man into a profound and unfathomable leader.

"I am now a prophet."

Alice wanted to stop Ning Feng's transformation, but couldn't find a reasonable reason, so she could only ask the question that was nagging at her heart:

"Wait a minute! Do you really want to see how others perceive you as reality?"

To shape oneself based on the image imagined by others—this practice, no matter how you look at it, is related to the divine!

Could it be that I really misjudged it?

This man did not actually embark on the path to becoming a king, but was still on the path to godhood.

He still wants to become a god!?

To shape oneself with the power of the faith of all beings, and to modify reality with the established perceptions of others.

They might actually succeed, but the one who ultimately sits on the throne will definitely not be that young man from before.

At least, not entirely; rather, it is a composite existence mixed with the prayers of others.

Alice stared at Ning Feng and asked in a low voice:

"Do you want to lose yourself?"

“Loss? No, that won’t happen.”

He paused for a moment, his unfathomable aura shattering the instant he smiled. Ning Feng turned back and shook his head at Alice:

"If I never possessed it in the first place, then it cannot be considered a loss."

The concept of self never existed in the first place.

"However... I do disagree with your statement."

"Because it's not just their one-sided expectation; I actually like it myself too."

Ning Feng has indeed changed, but this is not a sign of him turning evil or becoming depraved.

His followers may have started out just to survive, but those who stayed behind were definitely not just there to survive.

What they hoped for was not merely to receive from the prophet, but also to receive what he deserved.

He will bring hope, not only for those who are left behind, but also for his own salvation.

This is not a one-sided effort!

In saving them, he was also saved by them!

Chapter 494 Above the Gods

This is not a one-sided redemption.

In this long journey, it is not only the followers who are saved.

A prophet guides others while also being guided by them.

The voices he heard never came from the heavens; no deity sent down a divine decree, nor did any angel guide him.

Ning Feng is not a savior.

There has never been a savior in this world.

Ning Feng was neither the destined person nor the chosen one of God.

He was just a little prophet who often felt lost and confused.

What kept him from falling was the gaze and the hand behind him.

In Alice's view, the man known as the prophet smiled.

In that instant of his smile, countless tiny stars shone forth in his soul.

Alice: !!

Those lights, some dim and some faint, suddenly shone brightly at this moment!

Like gold shimmering brilliantly under the sunlight, it was almost dazzling.

Like divine light!

"This is……"

No, that needs to be questioned.

The other party did not conceal themselves.

Those starlight points were all the souls of mortals.

The souls that perished on that journey.

They perished in the world, but that was not the end.

As long as one person remembers them, their souls will not completely disappear!

Their prophet remembered them all.

"I don't know what the future holds."

Even though he could reincarnate and restart after leaving Sky City, Ning Feng no longer felt that he could see the future clearly.

Those glimpses of the future are not the reality.

A world created by the sacrifice of one person is not necessarily the right one.
