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

After Xiao Yan left, Fang Yu welcomed a second, or rather a third, guest, whose arrival was quite unexpected.

"It's a miracle you didn't lay a hand on Xiao Xun'er. But thinking about it, it makes sense. You're the patriarch of the Soul Clan; it would be shameful to lay a hand on a junior. But you don't seem to care about saving face. Sigh, really. You heard what I said clearly. So, if you're willing to give up now, perhaps it's a way back. If you're not willing to give up, then you are a blade I've forged. This blade will be used to cleanse all the injustices on this continent. Only peace will remain. All the injustices will be resolved by you, and I will only deal with you. Of course, you can say you don't want to." Reject my suggestion because I know what you want: this jade pendant. I'll give it to you as payment. After all, using it is ultimately wrong, and I feel somewhat guilty towards you. So, consider this jade pendant my return. I also hope you can, as I plan, quell all the discontent on the Dou Qi Continent and eliminate all resistance. This way, I can save the entire Dou Qi Continent as a savior, and rightfully obtain it without worrying about any opposition, because you will have already silenced all dissent. All the sounds have been wiped out. This is what I wanted, and I hope you can do it. If you can't, and choose to turn back now, that's fine too. After all, you've only exterminated a few races. These races are trash, they don't need to exist. They're just trash relying on bloodlines. Compared to your race, they're far inferior. Your race at least has ideals and ambitions, the ideal of unifying the entire Dou Qi Continent. But what about them? They're just a bunch of useless people relying on bloodlines, their power gained only through their own bloodlines. Once they lose their bloodlines, they're just like a bunch of trash, even worse than trash. That's why they were wiped out. "It's only right that you get rid of them, but you haven't cleaned them up enough. So I hope you can work harder and wipe out this bunch of trash completely, leaving not a single one behind. Because they're just useless people relying on bloodlines; without bloodlines, they're truly nothing. Since that's the case, then you should exterminate them and strip them of their bloodlines. That way, your race can become stronger, which is what you should be doing, not coming to me for what you want. Besides, I've already given you what you wanted. Now, all you need to do is do as I say and eliminate those useless fools."

"You want to use us to unify the entire Dou Qi Continent?"

Fang Yu nodded at the words of the Soul Emperor without any denial. He simply nodded and admitted it, since he already knew it and there was nothing he couldn't admit. Moreover, he had made it very clear.

"That's right. All I need to do is wipe out your race, and I'll be the hero who saves the entire Dou Qi Continent. The entire continent will depend on me for salvation, and I can then rightfully take control. That's my goal. You are my tools. I know this term sounds unpleasant, but you can turn against me and destroy me. That's your ability, your strength. If you have that ability, you can attack me directly and destroy me. However, I advise you not to attack me for now. If you do, your goal of controlling the entire Dou Qi Continent will be completely thwarted, and your entire race might even be wiped out. You should know my strength very well. If you fight me, you will suffer heavy losses. Even if you win in the end, your losses will be enormous. Then, wiping out other races will be unrealistic. They might even join forces to wipe you out completely. So, we'll end up letting others reap the benefits. Conversely, if you wipe out the other races..." If I wipe you out one by one, you won't suffer heavy losses; instead, you'll become even stronger. When you attack me later, you'll be more confident, perhaps even able to kill me. Then your race can unify the entire Dou Qi Continent, and you can become a Dou Di—the only one in ten thousand years, the most powerful being in ten thousand years. Isn't that what you want? Therefore, you cannot attack me now. You need to become stronger. Only when you become stronger can you attack me. Only then can you become the most powerful being in the Dou Qi Continent. If you can't even do this, and instead choose to foolishly attack me directly, then you will face certain death. This isn't a warning, but advice, advice given for the sake of our cooperative relationship. I don't want you to do something so foolish, because such foolishness is beyond your capabilities. So what you need to do now is become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can you be confident in killing me. Only by becoming stronger can I exert some effort when eliminating you.

"It is precisely for this reason that you were able to achieve final victory, and it is only for this reason that you were able to become even stronger. Alright, that's all I have to say. As for whether you are willing or not, whether you will do it or not, that's up to you. Anyway, I won't say anything more. If you attack me now, you're a fool. If you don't attack me now, but instead choose to exterminate the other races one by one, then your race's plan of these thousands of years might still be realized. Do you understand? If you don't understand, then go back and think it over carefully. Don't waste your breath on me here, because it's pointless. Even if you continue to waste your breath on me, it won't..." "You might be able to do something to me, but even if you could, your plan would be impossible because you would die. And once you, the strongest among them, die, your race will be wiped out completely by the other races, eradicated without a trace. This is something you often do, so don't do such a foolish thing. You should know this very well. This kind of foolishness is beyond your capabilities. I have complete faith in your character and your wisdom. I hope you understand this and don't betray my trust. If you do, then I can only say you are truly a fool, an incurable fool."

"Soul Emperor, since you've chosen this name, you should understand what your dream is, what your ideal is. Your ideal is to become a Dou Di, a true Dou Di, not just someone with a name. So don't attack me now; attacking me is foolish. You can go back now and do what you want to do, make your race and yourself stronger. Only then will you have a chance to kill me. If you're not strong enough, if you're not powerful enough, then wanting to kill me is pure wishful thinking. It's impossible, and you can't do it. I hope you understand this, and don't think I'm lying to you or humiliating you."

"Why should I believe you? Why should I believe you? Aren't you just stalling for time by saying all this? Aren't you just stalling for time by saying all this?"

The Soul Emperor was neither a fool nor an idiot; he succinctly revealed that everything Fang Yu was saying was merely a delaying tactic.

"Yes, I am indeed stalling for time, I am stalling for time, but so what if I am stalling for time? Do you really dare to make a move? You have witnessed my strength. If the two of us were to fight, the one who benefits would be someone else, and your entire Soul Clan would be doomed. I hope you won't do such a foolish thing, I really don't want you to do it. I need your clan to help me quell all opposing forces, and to resolve all opposing forces. Only in this way can I rightfully obtain the entire Dou Qi Continent, and only in this way can I become stronger. And what I need is merely..." I'm doing this by using your Soul Clan. If your Soul Clan didn't help me, then there's nothing I can do. If your Soul Clan doesn't help, then you can forget about unifying the entire Dou Qi Continent in this lifetime. Because your only way now is to do as I said, first wipe out those races one by one, and then wipe me out. This is your only way; there is no other path. If you choose to wipe me out first, then you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, losses so heavy that you cannot bear them. And this is a situation that you don't want to see, and it's also something I don't want to see. And I believe you are a smart person, otherwise... I wouldn't have schemed for a thousand years to unify the entire Dou Qi Continent. All I need to do is annihilate you after you've unified it. Only then can I smoothly obtain everything I desire—the entire Dou Qi Continent. Of course, you can also annihilate me then, because by then you'll have unified the entire Dou Qi Continent, and perhaps you'll have become a Dou Di. In that case, your entire Soul Clan will become the most powerful race on the entire Dou Qi Continent. At that time, it can be said that the entire Dou Qi Continent will be inferior to your Soul Clan. Are you really going to let such a good thing slip by? However, you are a selfish person. You are afraid, very afraid. You dare not gamble, you dare not gamble. Will all of this do me a good thing? Because you know that if your plan succeeds, then the biggest beneficiary will likely be me, and your Soul Clan will help me clean up everything. This is what I hope for. Your Soul Clan is meant to clean up everything. So what I need to do now is to use your Soul Clan's power to help me clean up everything. Only in this way can I repay what your Soul Clan did for my family. Otherwise, I really can't repay what your Soul Clan did for me.”

"If I were to kill you right now, do you think it would be possible?"

The Soul Emperor didn't appear angry, but his tone was filled with chilling killing intent. It could be said that Fang Yu's words had completely enraged him. He was being treated like a fool, but Fang Yu simply smiled and shook his head without changing his expression.

"You dare not, because you are a smart person. You dare not gamble, because you are afraid of losing. Once you lose, your entire race will be completely wiped out. You can only be a knife in my hand now, a knife that can eliminate all inequalities and opposing forces. A knife that can destroy those foolish races that rely on bloodlines. Only you can do this; no one else can. If others do it, it will affect the entire Dou Qi Continent's evaluation of them. After you accomplish this, I will destroy you, and then I will naturally become the savior of the Dou Qi Continent. This is what I have said for several years now." "I've explained it all. I hope you understand. If you don't, then there's nothing I can do. I also hope you can believe this. If you still don't understand, then there's nothing I can do. You can act now, but I hope you won't be so foolish. Being foolish won't do you any good; it will only lead to the annihilation of your entire race. This is not something you want to see, nor is it something I want to see, nor is it something the entire Dou Qi Continent wants to see. The entire continent still needs me to save it, and what you need to do is help me. I hope you won't disappoint me. If you do, it will be a truly regrettable thing."

"Why should I believe anything you've said?"

"Because you have absolutely no choice. Unless you do as I say, you have no other option. So you must choose; believe me, you have no other choice. If you don't do this, your chances of winning are too low. If you do do this, you have some chance of winning." (End of Chapter)
