He watched his adoptive father descend into depravity, and knew that when he almost lost control and killed the child, he went through a difficult struggle before choosing to fake his death and leave.
One person continues to walk alone on that road filled with despair.
Ning Feng had considered stopping him, but after witnessing his breakdown and despair, he chose to give up and left with a sigh.
He had seen too much of that kind of despair and persistence a thousand years ago.
He once followed a black cat who had been a stray for hundreds of years, watching her cause trouble wherever she pleased, until she finally fell into a deep sleep after exhausting her strength.
He also witnessed an angel who fell into self-doubt after the gods disappeared, and saw her self-imposed isolation as she tried to find the answer in this way.
...
The veil of mystery has been peeled away by time, and many things that were once unclear have been answered in front of witnesses to a thousand years of history.
After witnessing so much, he never gave up thinking and instead had new questions.
If the world returned to its original state because the gods were no longer there...
If everything has two sides, then what would the other side of the gods correspond to?
Were they demons who disappeared along with them?
No.
The real answer lies with ordinary people.
God and man are at opposite ends of a chain, two sides of a mirror.
Gods are the reflection and realization of the inner thoughts of mortals, while mortals are the source of the birth of gods.
The two complement each other.
This proves that as mortals continue to grow stronger, the part of Ning Feng's power that slumbered along with the gods is also constantly reviving.
The gods will return one day.
They slumber in the abyss of death...
The waves have receded, the tides have subsided, and the noble moon goddess has perished.
[In the stagnant airflow, even the wind ceases, the smoke and clouds dissipate, leaving nothing behind.]
"So that's how it is."
Ning Feng, who had wandered alone for a thousand years, finally came to a conclusion about himself after a thousand years of witnessing and contemplation.
He said:
"I am a lonely evil spirit wandering in the past."
"I am the shadow that looms over the gods."
Because darkness... is the universe itself.
Why bother searching for darkness?
"I am the darkness."
I am their eternal night.
