If you can’t figure out a problem, don’t think about it.

This is Su Yao's character.

Things can't get any worse anyway.

The old man on the other side also adopted the idea of ​​not caring about it. After all, he was too old. After realizing the failure of his life efforts, it seemed as if he had lost the last bit of his energy.

Now he just wants to die peacefully.

but--

He can't do it.

The instruments in this room, and even all the machines on his body, firmly control all his changes.

So, the lights were on.

The shadow appeared next to him again? "What did you see?"

The old man made no answer, and seemed as though he were asleep.

"You may have given up, but think about your life. As you said before, if you give up, what is the meaning of your life?" There was a hint of emotion in the shadow's tone that shouldn't have appeared.

No matter who you are, as long as you have emotions, it is impossible for you to be completely indifferent to the end of the world, your own death, and the extinction of mankind.

The old man finally opened his eyes.

"You think too highly of me." His voice was full of obvious self-mockery. "A prophet is indeed the only variable that can change fate. However, a prophet cannot control the direction of his own destiny. In the end, the only change I have made in my life is from the enslavement of mankind to the complete destruction of mankind."

“Why don’t you struggle a little longer?” The shadow’s emotions were growing, “If you give up now, not only your life, but also the lives of countless people will be wasted!”

The old man turned and looked at him.

This was probably the first time he looked at his only companion like this.

Is this the third generation, or the fourth generation? He couldn't tell.

But it was clear that this was a young man.

"Is this what you mean, or what 'those people' mean?" the old man asked softly.

"." The shadow was silent for a moment.

“Giving up isn’t just what I meant.”

The old man turned his head again, and the first black shadow, the subsequent black shadow, and the black shadow that began to be unclear as to whether it had changed or not seemed to flash through his mind.

He sighed softly.

"I have spent my entire life trying to change the fate of mankind, but just when I thought we were about to succeed, fate suddenly slid into an even crueler abyss. This not only means my failure, but also means that we have an enemy, an enemy that cannot be defeated. Do you remember why I am here?"

This was probably the most the old man had spoken in these days.

The black shadow's spirits perked up.

Although I don’t know why the old man suddenly wanted to speak.

But this is an opportunity.

His mind quickly recalled the files about the old man.

"Because you want to change a woman's fate." said the black shadow.

"Yes, for love." The old man's eyes seemed to have returned to the distant past.

Losing his freedom was his own decision, and at that time he thought it was worth it.

But now he couldn't even recall what that woman looked like.

Obviously, those were the few memories he could recall in his life.

After a long while, the old man spoke again.

"I want to change her fate without paying any price, and I want to grow old with her. However, I have made countless attempts and designed countless plans, but none of them succeeded - because there are enemies that I cannot defeat with my power."

There were some changes in the shadow's heart.

But it is imaginable.

If there is really no other way, there is no need to pay the price of a lifetime of freedom.

But that enemy was mentioned in the file.

Is a chaebol.

At that time, the largest chaebol on the entire planet mastered new energy technology and was about to start the third world war.

It is a force that is enough to make ordinary people feel despair.

So, facing such an enemy, the old man tried every possible means and made countless plans, but he still could not find a perfect future. In this situation, he could only expose himself and take out the ultimate killer - more than a hundred years later, all mankind will be deprived of consciousness by an unknown force.

It was a doomsday-like scene.

What happened after that was the establishment of the Supreme Federation, the collapse of the chaebol, and the prevented war. The old man in front of us, with his own power, changed the fate of mankind, and also changed the fate of that girl.

It was a legend, a touching love story, and a turning point in the destiny of all mankind.

But the shadow knew.

When the old man said this, he was just emphasizing the last two words - enemy.

The throat swallowed involuntarily.

"Only a prophet can change fate." The old man said this again, but there was a hint of sarcasm on his lips, "So you control every bit of my influence on fate and want to completely control fate. However, the prophet also has enemies that he cannot defeat. My life is the best proof. I ask you to defeat the enemy at the cost of my freedom. And you, at what price and to whom will you ask to defeat your absolutely undefeatable enemy?"

The old man's words seemed to exude a suffocating chill.

Even the beating of the heart will be frozen.

The shadow finally understood.

Why was there no movement after I passed on that terrifying message last time?

The opportunity for mankind to struggle against fate is given by the prophet before them.

But this opportunity was declared a failure the moment fate changed towards the abyss.

That's all.

In the next room, the shadow's real body collapsed on the ground, powerless.

For a century, the Supreme Federation, relying on the prophet's predictions again and again, carefully made one choice after another. These were their efforts and their struggles. They had struggled for their own destiny for a century, but these struggles were like the prophet's struggles back then and could not shake the final result.

Until recently.

They finally shook the results.

But that changed.

But it brought him another fate, one that was even more cruel and merciless.

Giving up at this time is not giving up due to lack of courage, but failure after struggling with all one’s strength.

So... is that it? The shadow's face was pale and his fists were clenched.

He told himself.

The Supreme Federation Conference has given up. After a century of efforts by several generations, it still failed.

What could he do? But——

Unreconciled.

They have struggled and tried hard, so they can accept failure.

But, I haven't struggled, I haven't tried hard, I've only accepted this position for a few years, should I just give up like this? "I already understand what you said." The black shadow looked at the old man again, "But I still want to know, what did you see just now?"
