This is actually my attitude: compared to the children who represent the new era, the dignity of the past is nothing.
Nothing is more important than the future that children represent.
【Turs】, a kind old man, was the first and most convinced that the prophet could bring them the dawn.
I personally think his death was inevitable, because if I hadn't really wanted to write a story where one person attains enlightenment and all their relatives and friends ascend to heaven, everyone would have become an immortal.
Perhaps in some ways that would be a perfect ending, but I don't think it's necessary.
That would tarnish the sacrifices of so many people, make death less important, make death meaningless... This is something I cannot accept.
The people represented by the Prophets lived in that era, and they fought for tomorrow and for the future.
They had no idea they would win, no idea that mortals would one day stand at the top of the world, and no idea that the gods would suddenly disappear...
Nobody knows.
But this is not a reason for them to give up.
To give a direct analogy, none of the martyrs of the War of Resistance against Japan knew how many years of struggle we would go through before we achieved victory.
There is no one.
There are no time travelers in the real world.
Every one of them longed for that kind of victory, but they dared not even imagine it.
No one can be certain that we will succeed, nor can we guarantee that our nation will be preserved; everything is unknown.
But they keep moving forward, for their ideals, for tomorrow.
Is this idealistic?
This is the reality they face.
Does that count as romanticism?
Perhaps a little.
Generally speaking, all members of the Prophets' Society and the followers of the Prophets are a group of people who live towards death and move towards it.
They see no hope, but they are willing to believe in that hope.
Their gaze fell upon the person carrying the torch at the front.
Ning Feng can be considered a "superstar" in a sense.
But just as he said, relying solely on a strong man falling from the sky cannot save everyone.
One person's strength is ultimately limited. What can truly save humanity, and those mortals suffering under the oppression of the gods, is the power of the collective.
There has never been a savior in this world, nor has it relied on any gods or emperors.
Cairns Jaslin and Ash Fella, twins of fate, destined to become heroes.
I actually quite like these twin brothers.
This is one of the types I prefer; even if you try your best to avoid it, you will eventually follow the predetermined path.
Ash, the older of the twins.
I first wrote about how he persevered despite the hardships he would face in the future, and how he ultimately sacrificed himself to bring down a saint, marking his final act.
Only then did I reveal his identity and the responsibilities he bore.
And most importantly, there's no way to alleviate his sense of powerlessness.
Regardless of how you think about it, I feel a strong sense of powerlessness.
Ning Feng could save everyone, but he couldn't save a hero.
Keynes, the younger of the twins, is the second in the Silver Council.
This wasn't the first time he had been described; his appearance was relatively early.
A cunning, intuitive, and ruthless nobleman who appears outwardly gentle and refined.
This person, however, was a timid child in his early years, and only gradually changed after losing his older brother.
As for the Silver Council, it actually represents my views on a certain group of people.
As time passes, people change, beliefs are passed down... things that were once upheld will change, even under the guise of glory.
The Silver Council is a mess, a tree rotten to the roots.
In contrast, Overwatch is a completely different story.
From the initial idea of "Let everyone live!" upheld by the Prophet's Church, to the later desire of the Watchers to "watch over everyone in the world".
Although some changes have been made, their essence has not changed significantly.
It is a stark contrast.
A generation will eventually grow old.
What is passed down to the next generation, in addition to material wealth, is spiritual enrichment.
No one stays young forever, but there are always people in their prime.
【Alice】, the young form of the Stargazer.
There's not much to say. Her original idea was that I wanted to write a slightly eccentric and cheerful character.
After a long wait, she transformed into the future stargazer, becoming silent and mature.
But as I wrote on, I realized that in such a dark era, in such a desperate environment, even the happiest people couldn't laugh.
Her appearance explains the foreshadowing of Sky City that was laid in the very early stages.
【Ariana】, a bad woman, nothing more to say.
She was the person who spent the most time with Ning Feng, and also the one with the most secrets.
She is a primordial demon, an uninvited contractor.
Willing to sacrifice himself for Ning Feng, even with his divine nature as poisonous as poison, he would still choose to accompany her to the end.
Ningfeng
Ultimately, this is Ning Feng's story. I devoted the most ink and effort to perfecting and enriching his character.
