I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Do you think I can't kill you, or do you think I can't ruin your plans?"

Although the Soul Emperor's tone was very calm and full of confidence, it had no value or meaning to Fang Yu and posed no threat to him. In fact, Fang Yu merely raised his eyes to look at him, then shook his head with amusement, his tone revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"If you were confident you could kill me, you wouldn't be wasting your breath here. Similarly, if I were confident I could kill you, I wouldn't be wasting my breath here either. We've talked so much, and neither of us can really defeat the other. But I have indeed ruined your Soul Clan's plans. Your Soul Clan hates me to the core, and I know you wish you could tear me to pieces. I know that too, but you can't. First, you lack the confidence; second, you lack the strength; and third, and most importantly, you lack the guts. As long as you lack the guts, you pose no threat to me. I think you understand that, so there's no need for further words. If you had the guts, you should have acted immediately after I finished speaking and killed me right here. But you don't have the guts because you know you're cowardly. You're not confident you can kill me, so you hesitated. Your indecisiveness has caused your Soul Clan's plans to be affected by me."

"The reason I'm still wasting my breath talking to you here is because I don't have enough strength to kill you right here. So I hope you do what you should do: wipe out the other races and get all their jade pendants. That's what you should be doing. As for the jade pendant in my hand, if you can wipe out those races, then naturally, the two of us can have a showdown. If you kill me then, you can get the jade pendant in my hand. If you can't kill me, then forget about it. I might kill you, and then I can get all the jade pendants at once and become a Dou Di. However, I don't care to become a Dou Di."

"Whether you believe what I'm about to say is your business, it has nothing to do with me. Whether you believe it or not, it's meaningless and worthless to me. It's useless to me. Okay, I've said what I needed to say, and I've also said what I shouldn't have. This is a very bad thing for me. The reason I'm telling you all this is because I think you're at least somewhat intelligent compared to other races, unlike them who are practically brainless. To me, they're a bunch of idiots, and I don't want to cooperate with them because they're brainless. If they knew how powerful I am, their first thought would be to kill me, and then they'd be dead, right? Since they're brainless, naturally I won't cooperate with them either, because for me, cooperating with a bunch of..." Cooperating with people who lack brains is truly a painful thing. It gives me a headache, makes me feel embarrassed, and makes me feel very uncomfortable because they have no brains. This is a very troublesome matter for me. If I wipe them all out, I will seem too cruel; if I don't wipe them all out, I will seem too merciful. And I am neither a cruel nor a merciful person. So this is a very troublesome matter for me, and I hope you can understand. Therefore, I need to use your hands to help me solve these problems. Your hands are the best weapon for me. Only you can do this because this was originally a plan that your Soul Clan had been planning for a thousand years, or even longer. From the moment your Soul Clan obtained the Void, you began to plan all of this. It can be said that your Soul Clan... They've always wanted to become the rulers of this Dou Qi Continent. I completely agree with that, and I also hope that your Soul Clan can become the rulers of this Dou Qi Continent. This would only benefit me, because if your Soul Clan becomes the rulers of this Dou Qi Continent, then all I need to do is destroy your Soul Clan, and then I will immediately become the ruler of this Dou Qi Continent, right? So, your Soul Clan is actually a knife in my hand. I need to use this knife to achieve my goals, and only by achieving my goals can I destroy your clan, and at the same time, I can naturally unify the entire Dou Qi Continent. Because once I destroy your Soul Clan, then I will be the savior of the entire Dou Qi Continent, and unifying the entire Dou Qi Continent will be just a matter of a word, right? Because I will save the entire Dou Qi Continent, and your Soul Clan will become... You Soul Clan are despised by the entire Dou Qi Continent, and even centuries from now, no one will remember you. And I have achieved my goal: to save and rule the entire Dou Qi Continent, right? But I don't want to use cruel methods to unify the Dou Qi Continent. I just need to annihilate your Soul Clan. So I hope your Soul Clan will cooperate so I can destroy you, thus naturally unifying the entire Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, I hope your Soul Clan can wipe out all other races that can oppose you, leaving none behind. In this way, I can become the savior of the Dou Qi Continent. Once I become the savior and save the entire Dou Qi Continent, I will achieve my goal: to save the entire Dou Qi Continent and become its ruler.

"And I basically don't need to repeat anything. I just need to wait for your Soul Clan to wipe out all those forces. So, Soul Clan Chief, Soul Emperor, I hope you can fulfill this request. If you can't, then I'll have to find someone else, but your Soul Clan will definitely be wiped out, I can guarantee that. I also know you will definitely do as I say, wipe out all the other races, and wipe out all the races and forces that can oppose your Soul Clan, because you don't need their existence. You only need one thing, and that is to unify the entire Dou Qi Continent. I can understand and agree with what you are doing. I don't want your Soul Clan's plan to fail, so I'm helping your Soul Clan. As for how I helped, you don't need to know. Anyway, I did help your Soul Clan. If I didn't help your Soul Clan, you could say you were wrong, or that you, the Soul Clan Chief, wouldn't have come to see me at all."

"Why should I believe what you say? Who knows if you're just bluffing?"

"That depends on how you think about it. If you think I'm bluffing, then you can just kill me. If you think I'm not bluffing, then you should do as I say right now. This will be a good thing for your Soul Clan, because once you've destroyed all the other forces, you only need to destroy me, and you can then unify the entire Dou Qi Continent in a logical way."

"You could say that if either of our two families were to eliminate the other, we could easily unify the entire Dou Qi Continent. That would be an incredible stroke of luck, wouldn't it? So, what you need to do now is eliminate all the other races. I'll say it again, that's all you need to do. You don't need to do anything else. Just follow my instructions. When you unify the entire Dou Qi Continent, you can become a Dou Di. That would be an incredible stroke of luck for you, wouldn't it? Isn't this your long-held dream? Since it's your long-held dream, and I'm helping you achieve it, shouldn't you thank me? If you don't believe me, you can kill me right now. I won't have any objections, as long as you have the strength and the ability. You can kill me now, but you don't have the guts, your strength might..." Yes, it's achieved, it's enough, but you lack the courage. You dare not take the risk. You are full of plans and schemes against other races, capable of handling any situation. But you are helpless against me because you don't know where I came from, why I appeared, or whether I will affect your Soul Clan's plans. In fact, I have already affected your plans. That's why you, as the clan leader, came to me personally, to make me disappear from this world. But after hearing what I said, you felt fear, you felt terror, and you lost the courage and the resolve to annihilate me. If it were any other race, you would certainly have the ability to wipe them out, no matter how great the trouble. You all have the capability and the skill, but my existence has robbed you of that. So, you've lost that ability, which is why you hate me so much, right? That's why you, the Soul Clan Chief, wish you could tear me to pieces right now. But unfortunately, you still don't have the guts, even after I've told you so clearly. Even though only one of us can live, you still don't have the courage. Because you're afraid. You're afraid that if you lose the gamble, your entire Soul Clan will be completely wiped out. So you're afraid. You're afraid I'll kill you, you're afraid your Soul Clan's plans will be ruined. But have you considered that even if you kill me now, it won't do any good, because your Soul Clan's plans have already been discovered by other races. They might not be able to fight your Soul Clan directly, but if they join forces, it's unlikely your Soul Clan can defeat them. Even if your Soul Clan believes it has the strength, have you considered that... Even with immense strength, it's still difficult to defeat everyone on the entire Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, you need my help, and I can help you become even stronger. I know your injuries haven't fully healed yet, but I can help you recover and restore your former strength. This way, you can become even stronger, more powerful, surpassing your mortal enemy. Your former mortal enemy was our family's ancestor, but now your mortal enemy is that fool. Although he's foolish, his strength is in no way inferior to yours. Under these circumstances, killing him would be extremely difficult. Therefore, you can only join forces with Xu Wu and your Soul Clan's elders. Unfortunately, I've already killed two of your Soul Clan's elders, so your Soul Clan's strength has definitely decreased significantly. Under these circumstances, you can only obtain my help; only with my help can you achieve your goal.”

"Why should I trust you? Who knows if you're trying to use our Soul Clan?"

"I say, after all these years of scheming, how come you're still a fool? Of course I want to use your Soul Clan. I don't want to get my hands dirty with too much blood, so this bloody matter can only be left to your Soul Clan. This matter can only be resolved by your Soul Clan, not by me. It has nothing to do with me. Only your race can do this. I'm unwilling to do such ruthless things, and your race has already done many, many such things. Therefore, you don't need to be modest. Only you can do this. It has nothing to do with me. I hope you understand this. I'm not making excuses, nor am I pretending to be humble or kind. I'm just very clear about this. Entrusting this matter to your race is the best choice."

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Soul Emperor's face turned ashen, but he had to admit that what Fang Yu said was indeed true. This was something that only their race could do; no one else could do it at all. Under these circumstances, he felt like he was being used and controlled. This feeling made him very uncomfortable, but as Fang Yu said, he didn't have the guts to take action. He sensed fear and an indescribable emotion emanating from Fang Yu.

Faced with this emotion, he had no right or strength to resist. To put it bluntly, he was afraid. He was utterly afraid, more afraid than ever before.

"Alright, don't be afraid or worried. I'm just using you. Just do as I say, and don't worry about anything else. Then we'll settle this with a fight to the death." (End of Chapter)
