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

"Do you really think the Soul Emperor will sincerely pledge allegiance to you? I always feel that the Soul Emperor is plotting something, and is looking for a way to kill you."

These were Xiao Xun'er's words to Fang Yu; more accurately, they were a reminder or a warning.

Xiao Xun'er knew very well that with her strength, seeking revenge against the Soul Emperor, who had already become a Dou Di, was simply wishful thinking. The only way was to get Fang Yu to help her destroy the Soul Emperor. However, Fang Yu seemed to have no such intention; instead, he wanted to subdue the Soul Emperor. Under these circumstances, how could she possibly avenge herself, how could she avenge her father, or how could she avenge her entire family? Naturally, she had to find a way to sow discord between the two sides.

Fang Yu merely glanced at her indifferently, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"Of course I know he's not genuinely allied with me. In fact, I'd be shocked if he were. I understand perfectly well what he's planning. As for whether I'll let him go, that's none of your concern. I know you want revenge for your father and your entire family, but I want you to understand one thing: revenge is one thing, but don't try to use me as a tool for revenge. You're not capable of that. There's absolutely no possibility of me becoming your weapon. What you should do now is cultivate diligently and wait for your opportunity. Of course, I might just slap the Soul Emperor to death—that's a possibility, and that would be revenge for your father and your family. But I want you to understand what you need to do: cultivate diligently and strive to one day break through to the Dou Di realm." "That's what you should be doing, not waiting for me to avenge you. Avenging you is far too distant a prospect. If the Soul Emperor truly does as I say, and does it quite well, then I might spare his life. But if that time comes, revenge will be nearly impossible. I know you harbor resentment and hatred, wondering why I did this, but I can only tell you that I have my reasons. You don't need to worry about it. What you need to do now is obediently listen to me, cultivate diligently, and strive to reach the Dou Di realm as soon as possible. I know you think this is wishful thinking, but since I've said this, there must be a reason. I'm confident I can help you break through to the Dou Di realm, and I hope you won't disappoint me. If you do, it would be a real pity. Honestly, if I weren't confident enough, I certainly wouldn't be saying this to you. I have great confidence in your talent; if I weren't confident enough, I definitely wouldn't have kept you alive until now."

"The main reason I've kept you here is because you're somewhat useful to me. If you weren't, I wouldn't even bother talking to you. The reason I'm saying all this is because you still have some value. Remember what I said: don't think about letting me have my way. I'm telling you, that's impossible. Perhaps one day, as I said before, I will kill the Soul Emperor, but even then, it won't be revenge for you. That would just mean the Soul Emperor angered me. I know the Soul Emperor is cunning, you could say he has three thousand schemes, but these schemes are utterly useless in the face of absolute power. You should understand this very well. With absolute power, even if the opponent is an enemy..." No matter how cunning a person is, they can be slapped to death. Before absolute power, any means or schemes are useless. I know the reason, of course. The Soul Emperor harbors ill intentions towards me; he wants everything I have, the cultivation techniques I practice, and everything I possess. But he is now my weapon, and I need to make this weapon work well. Only then can I truly unify the entire Dou Qi Continent. Otherwise, unifying the Dou Qi Continent will be a very troublesome matter. It's not that it's extremely difficult, but I don't want my hands to be stained with too much blood. This blood-stained task has been entrusted to the Soul Emperor, and I hope he can put in the effort and not disappoint me. If he disappoints me too much, then I'll have no choice but to kill him. Don't even think about disrupting the Soul Emperor's plan; it's impossible. With your current strength, trying to ruin his plans is pure wishful thinking. With a single thought, he could obliterate your soul and body. Once that happens, even I can't save you. Xiao Yan will definitely be heartbroken, so for Xiao Yan's sake, you shouldn't seek death. As for Xiao Yan, he's no longer of much value to you. You two are childhood sweethearts, and I hope you can comfort him a little. If you don't, that's fine too; it means nothing to me anyway. Your only value to me is to cultivate quickly... "After you've achieved success in your cultivation, help me with a few things. If you do them well, I'll definitely help you break through to the Dou Di realm, which might give you a chance for revenge. If you don't do them well and can't break through to Dou Di, then I can't help you. That only means one thing: your desire for revenge is pure wishful thinking, an unrealistic dream. I also hope you won't disappoint me or your clansmen; they're still waiting for you to avenge them. To be honest, your talent and strength are quite good, but whether you can avenge them requires even more effort. If you don't work hard, relying solely on me to avenge them is pure wishful thinking, a pipe dream."

"Can you really help me break through to the Dou Di realm? Are there any other ways to break through to the Dou Di realm in the Dou Qi Continent now?"

This was the matter Xiao Xun'er cared about most, the matter she was most concerned about, because it concerned whether she could avenge herself. Naturally, she was extremely concerned and didn't want any mistakes to occur, which was why she asked so anxiously. Fang Yu naturally nodded in response to her question, smiling as he said:

"If I weren't confident, do you think I'd be wasting my time talking to you like this? It's precisely because I'm confident that I'm rambling on, showing you my ability. I hope you'll stop wasting your breath, because it's pointless and won't help me much. As I just said, there's only one thing you need to do now: focus on cultivating, improving your realm and strength. If you want revenge, really, if you truly want to avenge your family and your father, the most important thing now is to go back and cultivate diligently. With your bloodline, as long as you work hard, you'll definitely become a Nine-Star Dou Sheng peak in the future. I guarantee you'll succeed then." "This certificate can help you break through to the Dou Di realm. Once you reach Dou Di, you can take your revenge. But whether you can achieve revenge depends on your own strength, and it has nothing to do with me. I know you don't trust what I'm saying, but whether you trust me or not doesn't matter. You'll find out when the time comes. I won't say anything more to you then. You just need to do as I say, cultivate diligently, and quickly reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm. That's what you should be doing, not trying to get revenge on me. That's impossible, it's simply not possible. Don't waste your time on this, and don't think I can do these things for you."

"Is there really no other way? Can't you really help me destroy the Soul Emperor? As long as you do it, I can guarantee that I can agree to any condition you ask for. No matter what condition you propose, I can agree to it."

Xiao Xun'er knew very well that what Fang Yu said was all empty talk. Now, only Fang Yu could help her avenge herself. Under these circumstances, she had no desire for that uncertain future; she only wanted the present, she only wanted to kill the Soul Emperor right now. But to kill the Soul Emperor now, in the entire Dou Qi Continent, only Fang Yu could do it; no one else could. In this situation, she had no other choice but to beg Fang Yu, to plead with him to do this one thing. To her pleas, Fang Yu simply shook his head and said with a smile:
"It seems you didn't listen to a single word I said, no matter how long-winded it was. I've made myself perfectly clear: your most important task right now is cultivation. Seize the time to cultivate and reach the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm as soon as possible. Then I can help you break through to Dou Di, and at that time you can take your revenge. By then, Hun Tiandi will likely be even more powerful, after all, he's several thousand years older than you. So, if you want revenge, the first thing you need to do is surpass him. But given your current situation, surpassing him is almost impossible. However, while it's unlikely, it's not entirely hopeless. As long as you do as I say, there's still a glimmer of hope. Therefore, I hope you can work hard and stop talking to me here. Don't think about me helping you take revenge. That's impossible, and it will never happen. Right now, all you need to do is cultivate, cultivate, cultivate. There's absolutely nothing else to do."

"If you don't want to cultivate, you can pass on your bloodline to your other servants. I believe there are other members of your clan alive besides you, so you can pass on your bloodline to them and let them cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate some more. Only in this way can they avenge your clan. If it's just you, I feel it's a bit unlikely, because you only want me to help you avenge your clan, but that's obviously impossible. I can't agree to your request. It's too difficult, it's unrealistic and impossible for me. So even if you say it a hundred or a thousand times, I will absolutely not agree to it."

"Firstly, I won't attack the Soul Emperor. Secondly, what I need to do now is to use the Soul Emperor as a weapon in my hands to help me unify the Dou Qi Continent. Only then can I unify the entire Dou Qi Continent easily; it's not a difficult task for me. Compared to unifying the entire Dou Qi Continent myself, having the Soul Emperor help is much easier, because the Soul Emperor's current strength is fully capable of doing so, and he has a real chance of doing it, not a hopeless situation. Under these circumstances, he is naturally my best helper and my sharpest sword. I hope he can do it. If he can't, then I have no choice but to find someone else. As for who that other person will be, I don't know. It could be you, it could be Xiao Yan, or it could be some other, even more powerful expert. Anyone is possible. As long as he is willing to help me unify the entire Dou Qi Continent, I can help him become a Dou Di."

"If I'm willing to help you unify the entire Dou Qi Continent, can you also help me destroy the Soul Emperor? As long as you help me destroy the Soul Emperor, I guarantee I will do everything in my power to help you unify the entire Dou Qi Continent, even if it means bearing infamy. I don't care, as long as I can avenge myself and kill the Soul Emperor, I guarantee I will help you unify the entire Dou Qi Continent without affecting you in any way. Even if you kill me in the end, there won't be any problem, and I won't resent you in the slightest. As long as you promise to kill the Soul Emperor, as long as this is done, I can agree to any request you have. I hope you can rest assured." Xiao Xun'er's words surprised Fang Yu greatly, but despite his surprise, he still shook his head and said:
"You are not suitable for this matter; the Soul Emperor is the most suitable." (End of Chapter)
