the world certainly wasn't going to save itself

Whatever gave you that idea? (Sayeth the self-proclaimed NPC, who is content to watch from the sidelines while others do the hard work of actually hero-ing)

If it does "save itself", from your perspective, it will likely be because of So8res and/or people like him.

Moreover, even the world's greatest hero only does a minority of all human achievements, so from their perspective the world still mostly saves itself, it just needs a really big push.
