Zi Ming is not a fool who believes whatever others say.
But the question is...
Ma Ran's speech brought all the doubts buried deep in Zi Ming's heart for years to the surface.
No matter how much he disdain Ma Ran's rhetoric, he couldn't avoid a deadly question—Zi Ming knew very well that he simply didn't have the power to destroy the Main Universe.
Given this, how could he shoulder the responsibility of destroying the Main Universe?
Besides this, there was another point that had always troubled Zi Ming.
The Universal Will birthed him, yet asked him to destroy the Main Universe.
Isn't that very strange?
Where in the world is there such a ridiculous logic?
Even if the Universal Will itself is deranged, confused in its consciousness, it doesn't make sense!
This already defies the instinct of life!
So...
Even if he's not admitting it verbally, deep in his heart, Zi Ming feels that Ma Ran's statement that he's not a True Demon makes some sense.
