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

After leaving the Queen's palace, Fang Yu went to his younger brother's palace. Although things weren't going well now, he was well aware that they would improve significantly later. When Fang Yu arrived, his younger brother's status had changed.

Immediately afterwards, he got Consort Lin out of the room, leaving the two brothers alone.

"I don't know whether I should call you Ninth Brother or the former Wise Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's expression instantly turned one of shock and disbelief. He hadn't expected his identity to be discovered so quickly, especially by a Sixth Brother he wasn't very familiar with. This Sixth Brother gave him a mysterious feeling, making him feel as if he were facing those senior masters and supreme experts from the past.

"Don't be nervous, don't get agitated. You were chosen by that old bald monk, so naturally I won't do anything to harm you. After all, since that old bald monk chose you, I naturally won't say anything more. I must say, the Holy Monk is truly an admirable fellow. Although he's an old bald monk, he chose a pretty good person. I must say, you do have some ability, you must say, you do have some skill. If it weren't for the Holy Monk, you wouldn't be alive now. But it's precisely because the Holy Monk chose you that you've been able to live until now. I also hope that you can continue to live and do what you want to do." As for who I am, you don't need to ask, nor do you need to care. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. You just need to survive, and grow stronger step by step until you are strong enough to accomplish what you need to do. However, I hope that when you know the whole truth, you won't be sad, upset, or devastated, especially not devastated. My existence is just to remind you, to make you understand that everything you are seeing now is not real, it's all... in short, everything you are seeing now is what they want you to see, not the truth. The truth is something you can't accept or understand, at least not yet. Don't even think about seeing the truth, because seeing it will shatter you. What you need to see now is only what you can see. You need to become stronger in this world, in this world they created, strong enough to destroy it, and then see the real world. As for what the real world is like, I don't know, and you don't need to know. You only need to know that you're not qualified to see the real world yet. You can't see it now because your strength isn't enough; you don't meet their requirements, you don't meet their requirement to destroy everything. If you want to destroy everything, if you want to see the real world, you need to grow slowly, step by step becoming the strongest, stronger, surpassing everything, surpassing everyone. Only then can you see the real world, only then can you see the truth you want to know and understand. Everything you know now is an illusion, all fake. But don't be sad, don't be upset. This is all unavoidable, no one can change it. Whether it's you, or me... No one else can change this; no one can change it. This is all the work of those old fogies. Truly, everything they've designed is incredibly painful, yet one can't help but admire the depth and breadth of their schemes. Their plan is all about making you stronger, incredibly stronger, so they can get everything they want. What do they want? Don't worry about that; it has nothing to do with you. You only need to know that everything you possess and gain is designed by those old guys. That's enough. I know you can't understand what I'm saying now, and you don't need to. You just need to have an impression, at least be mentally prepared. Only when you're mentally prepared, and when you destroy everything before you, the world before you, will you understand what I mean. If you can't do that, then I hope you stay trapped in this world forever, and never destroy it, because it's the only place where you can be guaranteed safety, even though this world won't last long. At least until the end of your life, it will remain. I know all this is hard for you to accept, you don't want to accept that this world is fake. To be honest, this world isn't fake, it really exists. It's just that everything in this world is arranged, arranged and prepared for you by those old guys. Because you are the one chosen by that old guy, that old bald monk, that group of old guys. There's nothing they can do about it, it's something they can't help. They thought and thought, tried and tried, and only you were suitable. No one else was suitable. Because this is fate, destiny. I don't believe in fate. I don't believe that my fate or anyone else's fate is predetermined, but your fate is arranged by others. As for how far you will go, that depends on yourself. They can't decide, I can't decide, and you can't decide either. You need to climb this ladder step by step. No one knows how many steps there are on this ladder of fate. No one knows how many steps you can take, not even yourself. No one knows how many steps you can take, no one can decide how many steps you will take. All you have to do is change all of this. Do you understand?

"I don't understand, but I think you mean well, otherwise you wouldn't tell me these things. But I don't understand why you told me these things so quickly. I don't understand this. Can you tell me?"

Zhang Ruochen asked the question that had been nagging at him: why was this Sixth Brother telling him so much? Although these things left him completely bewildered, and even his black cat claimed ignorance when he asked, he didn't press the matter further. While he knew his black cat wasn't telling the truth, he didn't press the issue.

"I don't know why I'm telling you all this. I can only say that everything is predetermined, unchangeable. I can't tell you why it's predetermined, or perhaps it's not predetermined at all. Your early life is predetermined, but your later life is up to you. As for which path to choose, nobody knows. There are countless paths in life, maybe even hundreds of thousands. It all depends on you. In short, which path you choose, which path you take, is entirely up to you. No one can change or stop you. It's your decision. No one can decide for you, not even me. Only you can make the right decision for yourself." No one can change this, not even me. No one can change it. Although they've created a better path for you, you can choose not to take it. While this path is easier, it's one that puts you under their control. They want to control everything about you. So they've designed this path for you because they want to save the world, and they've chosen you as their savior. You can choose not to be one; it doesn't matter. You can choose to be one or not; it doesn't matter. If you want to be one, you can be one. If you don't want to be one, they can't force you. But they will find ways to make you follow their design. If you don't follow it, then everyone around you... Friends, relatives, and everyone connected to you will die. They do this to force you onto this path, this path they have laid out for you. You don't need to worry about how dangerous or perilous this path is, because no matter how dangerous or perilous it is, it won't threaten your life. Do you understand? All you need to do is follow their design and act accordingly. You don't need to have any choices. Your so-called choices are actually choices they have designed. If you don't choose according to their design, you have almost no choices at all. It can be said that all the paths have been chosen by them; you can only follow the path they have chosen and made. However, you can also... "You can resist, but you don't have the strength or ability to fight back right now. When you have enough strength, you'll understand what I mean. By then, I hope you're mentally prepared and don't just collapse. That wouldn't be good for you or for those around you, and I don't want that to happen either. After all, we still have some connection, and it might implicate me. That's why I'm telling you so much—because I don't want to be dragged down, you know? I should say, you know? I really don't want to be implicated by you, because if I am, I'll become incredibly unlucky, extremely unlucky. So I don't want to be implicated by anyone."

Fang Yu's words left Zhang Ruochen even more confused. He didn't understand why Fang Yu would say such a thing, but he knew that what Fang Yu said was definitely related to him. To be precise, it was entirely related to him, but he just didn't want to be implicated by him.

“I understand what you’re saying. You only told me this because you didn’t want to be implicated by me. But I hope you can understand why I chose the path they’ve laid out for me?”

"Because your future has already been set up. That's right, it's been set up. You have no power to resist, but you do have the strength to resist. Do you understand? Just follow their plan for now. As for what happens next, that depends on your own abilities. You can break free if you want, or you can choose not to. If you follow their path, your future will be smooth sailing. If you don't, your future will be close to darkness, if not completely bleak. Then, your family and friends, and everything around you, will be affected. This is not what I want to see. I mainly don't want to be implicated by you. Being implicated by you will not benefit me at all. I hope you understand this. These things are of no benefit to me. I don't want this to happen. That's why I'm telling you so much, to make you understand what you are facing now. Don't feel sad. You are not sad. Your world has already been determined."

"Everything is predetermined, everything is already arranged. The reason I'm telling you all this is because I'm afraid of divine retribution, because those guys will definitely try every means to kill me. But if I don't tell you all this, I feel a little guilty, because if I don't tell you all this, it's very likely that your life will become very tragic in the future, which is not something I want to see. So, I chose to tell you. Really, if I didn't tell you, I would be in unbearable pain. I hope you can understand my good intentions, and I also hope you can't understand my good intentions. Everything I'm saying is to prepare you mentally, to prepare you mentally for the future world. If you don't have this mental preparation, I hope you will never know what the future is like, what it will be like. This is not a good thing for you. Remember to be mentally prepared. If you're not mentally prepared, then..." When you see everything that's predetermined in the future, you'll probably collapse. Those old folks will be heartbroken, and the consequences of that heartbreak will be unimaginable. But this is a hurdle you must overcome in your life, and what I need to do is minimize it, making your path easier, less uncontrollable, and stronger. That way, I'll be less affected, and the impact on me will be much less. That's what I want to see. Do you understand? If you don't understand, I can say it again—really, I can say it again—I just want you to understand that the fate you can defy might have already been predetermined. Do you understand?
