No matter how unwilling Ning Feng is to admit it, he can't be considered a dull person.
Perhaps he could be considered one when he was young, but after experiencing so much, he can no longer be considered one.
Others may not know what Alice was thinking about her feelings, but Ning Feng knew them perfectly well.
I broke my promise, but the other person still has good intentions and old feelings for me, and we are all actually kind and loyal people...
The matter seems quite simple now. In principle, there is no irreconcilable conflict, and a few kind words can resolve it quickly.
For a prophet who can ignite a torch in people's hearts and transmit his will to millions, stirring up emotions is an incredibly easy thing to do.
Over time, they developed a certain aura, and a single glance could convey their emotions.
Later on, he didn't even need to do anything; people would kneel down before him simply by standing in front of him.
This is actually a very scary thing.
His admirers called him the "Prophet," while his enemies fearfully called him the "Demon who manipulates people's hearts."
That power came partly from the special divinity that emanated from him, but more so from a unique personal charisma.
If we were to strictly categorize this ability, it could be considered a special kind of inspiration.
Although he hadn't used it with others for a long time, the methods of manipulating people's hearts were all similar, and Ning Feng's skills in gaining sympathy were actually no less impressive.
If Ning Feng takes the initiative, he can even foresee what will happen next.
If he were to reveal the truth about the loneliness and suffering he was also enduring, tell Alice that he had not actually broken his vow, and speak out about his pain, things would easily be resolved.
At least it won't be so sharp. Alice will no longer see Ning Feng as a liar who broke his vows, and Ning Feng will have more opportunities to reconcile with her.
But Ning Feng doesn't intend to do that this time.
Even if doing so could lessen his guilt, it would be meaningless to Alice.
She could have stayed out of it, she could have left this world after everything was settled, and gone without a care in the world.
Ning Feng dragged her into this quagmire of the world and entrusted her with responsibilities before leaving.
Even if they have never explicitly said it, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Such a "request" is fragile and powerless; at that time, Alice could still abandon those and leave.
But Alice stayed.
Turs, Habaron, Jaslin, Ash... not just these people, but all the members of the Prophets became the shackles that kept her here.
Even though they didn't say anything.
But the yearning in their souls, the hope in their eyes, the reverence in their actions…
During the time when the prophet was gone, she single-handedly supported the entire prophetic council, and even... she alone took up the banner that would determine the fate of mankind.
Although Alice calls herself a stargazer, she never looks up at the stars, but instead always casts her gaze upon the mortals beneath the sea of clouds.
She endured the loneliness.
She took responsibility.
She tasted the pain.
So, are we going to try and outdo her in misery?
Now, suddenly the unfaithful person jumps out and says:
"You've misunderstood me. You've wronged me."
"I'm actually worse off than you; my suffering is far greater than yours."
Does doing this really make sense?
What has sustained Alice to this day, besides the responsibility imposed on her shoulders, are there no other emotions?
some.
Hatred for those who break their oaths.
Because she despised his act of breaking his vows, she would never become like him.
Perhaps Ning Feng did bring Alice a brief moment of happiness, but the pain he left behind was incredibly long-lasting.
Not only did they move into someone else's home, but they also brought along a large group of people, and then suddenly disappeared, leaving others to clean up their mess...
From this perspective, Ning Feng's actions during the Prophet's era definitely qualify him as a scumbag.
Even if Alice harbors resentment towards Ning Feng, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
The being who sat alone in the Sky City for a thousand years was the Stargazer, not the once innocent and cheerful Alice.
There's no going back.
Such a being cannot be forced to change its will because of a few words.
The wound has already appeared, and even if it heals, it will leave a scar.
"There's no going back."
Ning Feng remained calm.
For him, this was a reunion that was bound to happen; he had rehearsed it a thousand times in his mind.
Not seeing Alice immediately wasn't an escape from reality, but rather giving her time to recover.
Ning Feng is willing to accept any decision.
Whether it's forgiveness or resentment, he can accept it.
As long as it's her true feeling.
But if possible, Ning Feng still hoped that Alice would not continue to wallow in resentment.
I've been lonely enough for so long, I shouldn't torture myself anymore.
"...It's almost time."
As the atmosphere on the other side gradually returned to normal, Ning Feng knew that the other party should be ready, so he touched the edge of the pool to soothe the city's emotions.
Buzz—
The city trembled, as if it were worried about something.
"It's okay, don't worry."
"Everything will be alright."
While comforting him, Ning Feng suddenly looked up in one direction.
In a house somewhere in this city, some items related to him are beckoning him to come and see them.
"Excuse me, please wait a moment."
Now is not the time.
Turning around, Ning Feng's figure disappeared by the pool.
...
...
Knock knock.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After receiving no response, Ning Feng pushed the door open and walked in calmly.
It feels as familiar as it did a thousand years ago.
Seeing the stargazer with light-colored eyes sitting upright in her chair, Ning Feng sat down in the chair opposite her.
silence.
Neither of them spoke immediately, and they looked at each other in silence.
Finally, just as Ning Feng was about to speak, the stargazer opposite him asked softly:
How should I address you?
"Ning Feng? Or a prophet?"
Ning Feng lowered his eyes for a moment, looked at the stargazer, and spoke softly:
"It's fine, they're all mine."
Oh.
"I remember it was here that someone insisted that he was no one else."
Ning Feng remained silent, not dwelling on the question, and instead asked:
"And what about you? How should I address you?"
Alice, or... the Stargazer?
How would you like me to address you?
"Yes, what should I call you?"
The stargazer looked up at the starry sky above and murmured to himself:
"It will be all right……"
