Chapter 139: Guiding light, guiding lamp

……

"Did you get into trouble?" Dugu Bo asked.

Although he couldn't think of what trouble Nan Feng could get into on this continent, being able to make him show this emotion, this trouble was probably a bit dangerous.

"Something like that," Nan Feng said.

"But it doesn't count as trouble. After all, I've been prepared from the beginning."

"It's just that the plot is about to reach its climax, and I'm suddenly a bit dazed."

"Why?" Dugu Bo asked, puzzled.

"Since your career is about to reach its climax, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Happy?" Nan Feng paused.

"Theoretically, I should be happy, but personally, I don't know why I should be happy."

"Speaking of which, how do you see me?" Nan Feng turned his head and looked at Dugu Bo.

"I seem to have never paid attention to this aspect of things, and I almost don't know how people outside see me."

Dugu Bo's eye twitched. "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Nan Feng paused. "Say two nice things to praise me first, otherwise I might beat you up."

"There has never been a lunatic like you in this world, and there will never be one again," Dugu Bo said seriously.

"Why?" Nan Feng asked.

"Because you've walked the path of those who came after you," Dugu Bo said.

"I really can't think of what level someone would have to reach if they wanted to surpass you to make people compare them to you."

Nan Feng had pulled all the contradictions that had existed on the continent for tens of thousands of years to the surface, and once again stimulated those hidden contradictions and those that might arise in the future.

The entire continent had been stirred up by Nan Feng into a state of excitement. As long as there was a ripple, these contradictions would erupt in the form of war.

But now, whether it was the world of spirit masters or the world of ordinary people, they were all in a strange state of calm. They wanted to erupt, but they were holding back.

But this patience wasn't about being afraid of death; it was simply that those people believed that Nan Feng would solve these problems and lead them to the future!

It was quite an incredible thing. Nan Feng hadn't given those people anything, not even a successful pie in the sky, but they all inexplicably had the same idea.

Nan Feng would solve these contradictions!

If being remembered by the world counts as immortality, then Nan Feng was just one death away from becoming immortal.

Even if Nan Feng couldn't solve these contradictions, even if these contradictions were solved by someone else, when the world mentioned these things, they would only think of Nan Feng.

A person who had never shown half a point of force, yet stood at the top of the continent.

"Who did you hear these ghost stories from?" Nan Feng almost couldn't help but complain.

"A storyteller? So good at bragging?"

"I didn't know I was that awesome."

"Perhaps you created the current situation unintentionally, but that's the fact," Dugu Bo said.

"You have almost become the guiding light in everyone's heart. Even if you didn't have that intention, even if you were just on a whim, even if the path you pointed to is leading everyone to destruction, they are willing to follow this path."

Even ants want to survive; "living" is the instinct of life.

Is it better to die for the sake of becoming a human? Or to live as a beast? When answering, most people would shout the former, but in reality, when doing it, the vast majority of people silently chose the latter.

Because everyone wants to live, oppression is created, class is created, and all injustice exists because the weak want to live and the strong want to live better.

As long as the thought of the weak wanting to live exists, those dark things will never disappear.

Are people bullied because they are kind? No, people are bullied because they are weak!

Either weak in power or weak in psychology.

A person who is strong both psychologically and in power cannot be bullied!

Being submissive to the strong and heavy-handed to the weak, bullying the soft and fearing the hard—this is the nature of human nature, or rather, the nature and instinct of life.

And the core of these things, in the final analysis, is still one thing: wanting to live! Because they want to live, they will compromise, and they will be bullied.

But what if you cross this bottom line?

Since ancient times, the soft fear the hard, the hard fear the horizontal, and the horizontal fear those who don't want to live! The stronger, the richer, and the more noble one is, the more they fear those who don't want to live! Because they are afraid of losing! Resistance may not lead to victory, but at least it can make everyone lose together!

Simply put, Nan Feng is encouraging everyone to go crazy together! Without madness, how can there be sobriety?

Perhaps the path Nan Feng mentioned is wrong, but this is a path that everyone can walk, without any threshold.

"But you all think too much. I do these things just because I want to do them. I never said I was for the sake of the world," Nan Feng said.

"It doesn't matter what you think; everyone understands it that way," Dugu Bo said.

"Didn't you say it yourself? Everyone's appearance is determined by others, because only another pair of eyes can see the whole picture."

"The bystander sees clearly, while the person involved is confused."

"The difference between subjective and objective."

"To be honest, if I didn't know you were just a lunatic, I'm afraid I would be like those people outside, treating you as the so-called guiding light."

At least the Nan Feng he knew was a bastard who thought of one thing after another and didn't care about the result! A lunatic! Because just as this bastard said himself, one must love oneself before loving others; selfless selfishness is true selflessness.

But Nan Feng doesn't love himself, and he has no selfishness, and even no purpose. He doesn't care about the result; he just wants to see what the result is.

Whether it's success or failure, life or death, he doesn't care himself.

Nan Feng doesn't even care about himself; will he care about others?

Will he care if this so-called progress can really go on?

Even this guy said himself that whether it's success or failure makes no difference to him; he's just curious.

A pure lunatic!

He might really be a guiding light, but he could also be a guiding lamp of the underworld! "So I plan to let them walk by themselves next," Nan Feng said.

"I just gathered the firewood together, built the bonfire, and then lit a fire when the time was right."

"As for how this pile of fire is going to burn, how big it will burn, what it will be used for—whether it's for barbecue, or for boiling water, or for keeping warm—that's their own business. I won't interfere."

"Why?" Dugu Bo asked.

Nan Feng shrugged. "Old brother, I've done everything I could. It's like a person holding a speech script giving a speech. After a passionate outburst, the emotions of everyone have been stirred to a climax."

"Everyone expects the speech to continue, but in fact, the script has been read, and it's time for everyone to take action."
