The reason I exist is ... [ to save the common people, he starts to say.

xie lian stops himself, though, and restarts. that's changed a little, hasn't it? ]
... The reason that I exist is humanity itself.

I am human. Before I was a god, I was a human being. I became a god to help people, as an avenue in hopes that I could use that power to keep them healthy and strong. I want to help them. Even if I am no longer truly 'human' in the way that a normal person is, in the way that this place has made me, I feel for them, like them. I cannot - I have not always been successful, in saving them. I was not today. I have not been before.

...but humanity, and the love that I have for it, imperfect as it can be, is the reason why I live. And it will be the reason why I live, for as long as I remain.
