Feng: "A topic like fate is too big. If you had asked Book Elder about this question back then, he might have given you a very splendid and satisfying answer. But if you ask me... forgive me for being blunt, my divination isn’t strong, I might be able to deceive Ulanos and the others, but telling you the same answer, I think you definitely wouldn’t be satisfied."

"Moreover, I believe what concerns you most isn’t fate itself. It’s why you entered the fate I crafted, right?"

Angel nodded: "That’s what I want to know too. When did this game start, why did it start, and when does it end... Also, why is it me?"

Feng obviously anticipated this, and was not at all hesitant about Angel’s questions: "You think this is a game and you are a pawn, correct? Heh, actually the truth behind this isn’t that complicated. There is no player nor game, it’s merely the tide of fate... This matter dates back to a long time ago, back when I was still a Wizard Apprentice."

Feng didn’t dwell much on his apprentice period; he brought it up because during this time, his future obsession was formed.

Feng’s closest ones died in the catastrophe of the Demon God, and Feng’s mentor didn’t survive this horrific event either.

From that time on, Feng had a strong hatred towards the Demon God, and a severe aversion to this kind of disaster of a Demon God’s descent, which even became his obsession.

The Frostmoon Alliance published "Plane Conquest Record," which includes a very famous illustration called "Apocalypse Catastrophe," drawn by Feng himself, depicting the apocalypse brought by the Demon God’s descent. Although Feng never made a direct statement, anyone who has seen this painting can perceive Feng’s hatred towards the Demon God’s arrival.

After breaking through to Legend, Feng went from the Southern Domain Wizard World to the Origin World.

During his period of living in the Origin World, Feng worked for the Temple of the Oracle and stayed in the Temple for hundreds of years as a Free Wizard.

The Temple of the Oracle is a very powerful union in the Origin World. It is a huge union formed by several Witcher Organizations related to prophecy.

Even the Crown Star Church, famed in the Southern Domain, is actually a subordinate of the Temple of the Oracle.

In those years in the Temple of the Oracle, Feng originally intended to learn some spell techniques related to prophecy, but his talent for prophecy was not strong, so he only grasped the superficial knowledge of divination.

Although he didn’t master divination, he met many Prophet Wizards, including some Southern Domain Wizards who rose from the Crown Star Church.

The Temple of the Oracle also owned Mysterious Objects similar to the Mystery of the Stars. The Prophet Wizard from the Southern Domain obtained some hints about the future through a Mysterious Object called "City of Reincarnation." Among the hints, one indicated that the Southern Domain would soon encounter a Demon God catastrophe.

This Southern Domain Wizard informed Feng of this news.

Upon receiving this news, Feng was naturally shocked. Although he was far from the Southern Domain, Feng’s focus on the Southern Domain never diminished, after all, the Southern Domain was his homeland.

The possibility that his homeland might face a Demon God catastrophe, even if Feng didn’t care about the Demon God, would still compel him to seek salvation. What’s more, Feng himself deeply detested the Demon God catastrophe and naturally took the burden of rescuing the Southern Domain upon himself.

But how to save it?

Even if Feng had become a Legendary Wizard, he might not be able to defeat the Demon God, especially in the environment of the Abyss.

Feng had no idea which Demon God might descend, when precisely they would arrive, the reason for their arrival, or where they would land.

In the face of these unanswerable questions, even if Feng could defeat the Demon God, it would be hard to thoroughly save from the Demon God catastrophe.

What’s more, if it was an Unparalleled Great Demon God or an Ancient being descending... not only him, but even in alliance with a large number of Legendary Wizards, it would be difficult to stop.

In his dilemma, that Southern Domain Prophet Wizard gave Feng a suggestion.

Consider trying to consult the Book of Kael.
