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

"Then you should know that everything you're doing now is against those guys' plans. If you continue like this, you might completely enrage them. If you enrage them, do you think you'll have any chance of survival? You'll have absolutely no chance of survival. Your life will come to an end. They will absolutely not let someone like you, who goes against their will and their ideas, go unpunished. They will do everything in their power to kill you and then rearrange and change your fate, forcing you onto the path they've already set. That's their goal, and your appearance will only change their goals, making it impossible." In this situation, they will absolutely ensure your death, don't you understand that? If you continue like this, only death awaits you; there is no other choice. Don't you understand that? If you don't, then I'm telling you now, you should know what to do. What you need to do now is leave as soon as possible, before his fate and his life change too much. Only then will you have a chance to live; otherwise, death is your only destiny, and you cannot escape it.”

"Perhaps you were very powerful in the past, perhaps you possessed many things and could change many things, but you simply don't have that power now, and you can't achieve that goal. They have arranged everything, and they will absolutely not allow you to disrupt it. If you disrupt it, it's equivalent to trampling on everything they have arranged, which they cannot allow or tolerate. They will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen, it's something they absolutely cannot tolerate, so I hope you can understand."

"To be honest, I really don't want you to die like this, because I know you are very powerful, and I really want to witness your power. But unfortunately, you insist on going down this wrong path. Why? I want to know why you would choose to walk this wrong path even though you know it is wrong. I want to know why. Don't say it's for her own good, to prevent her from being controlled by us. That's impossible. You absolutely don't have such good intentions. You would never be so kind."

The black cat's words surprised not only Fang Yu but also Zhang Ruochen. In fact, Zhang Ruochen was so shocked he was speechless. It wasn't just "surprised," it was utterly astonishing. He hadn't expected the situation to be so complex, and that his fate had already been predetermined. He had to follow the old men's plan, or face certain death. This was his feeling, his understanding, and his imagination. Naturally, he didn't want his fate to be manipulated or altered. This was something he didn't want, and he refused to accept it. It was something he could never accept.

"If you continue with your threats and intimidation, then I can only conclude one thing: everything you're saying is utter nonsense. These things are simply impossible. If you really wanted me dead, or if you could really take my life, you would have already done it. You wouldn't be here issuing these threats and intimidation orders to me. That's impossible. You would have already killed me, wiped me out, and eliminated me completely, instead of rambling on and on with these threats and intimidation words. Stop with these childish words. You might scare children with these childish words, but if you're trying to scare me here, then you're just joking."

"If I were so easily intimidated, I wouldn't be here. It's because I've made all the preparations, even preparations for death, that your threats and intimidation are meaningless, worthless, and have no effect on me. They're utterly meaningless, you know? They have no effect on me whatsoever. They don't frighten me, they don't terrify me. They only make you all seem ridiculous. Really, your ridiculousness has opened my eyes. I never imagined you could be so laughable, thinking that a few words of threat could make me leave, frighten me, worry me, and make me abandon everything I've planned. I can only say one thing: you've either underestimated me or overestimated yourselves?"

"I think you not only underestimate me, but you also overestimate your own abilities and capabilities. You are currently powerless to change anything, nor can you change your own destiny. That's why you chose my brother, hoping to use him to change your fate. I know this will make you stronger. As I just said, have you considered whether my brother is willing? If you spoke to him kindly and helped him, his future would definitely help you become stronger and lead you to the path of immortality you desire. But he doesn't want to be controlled by you. He decides his own path, and no one can change it. He will choose and decide his own path; you don't need to arrange it for him. The path you've arranged is simply what you want, what you think will likely get you what you want, or at least get what you want with the highest probability."

"That's why you arranged all of this, that's why you came one after another, all to scare me, to scare me away, so that you could rearrange, change, and influence everything. But don't you think your ideas are incredibly stupid, utterly hopelessly stupid? These are the stupid things you've done, the things you think you can change, but they only make you look stupid, incredibly stupid, unimaginably stupid. Stupidity is the mother of stupidity—stupidity beyond measure, you know? You're so stupid that I can't even imagine it, that I can't even describe it."

"So it's not me who should leave, it's not me who should go, it's not me who should be intimidated, it's you, you bunch of idiots, you bunch of morons! You should all go and receive nine years of compulsory education and use your brains properly. Sometimes it's not about you deciding your fate, but about accepting it. You have no choice, because your fate is predetermined, not just by your family—no, it should be your elders and those who tried to control you. They also wanted to use you to achieve their desired path to immortality, but unfortunately, you were too stupid and disappointed them. However, although they were disappointed, their lifespans had run out, so they died. They didn't achieve immortality, nor could they control you forever. Instead, you controlled everything, controlling the present situation." "You think you can arrange everything, change everything, change all the rules, change all the laws, change the fate of others, change my fate as your brother? You think you can use my brother and others' methods to help you achieve immortality? But have you ever considered that one day you will be betrayed, betrayed by my brother and others? You won't even know how you died. And yet you're still smugly pleased with yourselves, thinking you've achieved immortality, that you're closer to it, that you can live forever? But I find you truly laughable, utterly laughable, unimaginably laughable. It's utterly reckless stupidity. I can't even describe how foolish everything you're doing is. Truly, everything you're doing is unimaginably foolish."

"The only thing you can do right now is to get out of here immediately. Don't delay any longer; it won't do you any good. No matter how much you delay, you won't get what you want, nor will you control my fate, your brother's. Because with me here, you simply can't do it. If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it, do it as soon as you can, anytime. There's absolutely no problem with that. If you can do that, then you can kill me anytime. But the fact that you haven't means you can't kill me, or rather, you're currently incapable of killing me. Under these circumstances..." Do I need to be afraid? Do I need to be afraid of all that you've prepared? Absolutely not. All I need to do is curse you all out, curse you bunch of idiots. Honestly, I'm getting hoarse from all the cursing, because I think you're a truly pathetic bunch, utterly pathetic. Although you're pathetic, you also have your hateful aspects, because you're incredibly stupid. You think you can change everything, decide everything, decide other people's fates, change other people's fates. But that idea is ridiculous and foolish. So don't think you can change everything, can get everything. That's impossible, understand?

"What you need to do now is to do as I say and obediently get out of here. Only then can you possibly achieve what you want—the path to immortality. That's what you can achieve, not trying to control my brother. You can control others; I can't control them. But controlling my brother is impossible because I'm here. Don't think that I want to control my brother, change his life, or control everything about him to achieve immortality. Yes, you're right, I admit everything you said. I can do all of that. Yes, that's what I do think. But I'm not as foolish as you. I can openly tell my brother everything I've done. I can openly tell him that I'm using him, and he shouldn't be afraid. My methods are merciful and won't have any negative impact on him." I can say this openly and honestly, but you can't. You don't have the ability. All of you combined, if not a hundred, then at least eighty. So everything you've planned together will only harm him. Because you don't care about the people around him, his family and friends, what he cares about, what he wants. You only care about what you care about, not what he cares about. You don't care about his family and friends, you don't care about what he needs. You only need to know what he wants, and then you give him what he wants. But while he needs this thing, it will cause him to lose more, such as his family and friends. So what you're doing is wrong, completely foolish. It will only make him hate you, make him grit his teeth in hatred, and won't help you at all.

"And not only do you remain oblivious, but you smugly proclaim that your plan has succeeded, your scheme has succeeded, your plot has succeeded, you are closer to the path of immortality, you can achieve eternal life, you can forever realize your dreams, you can never die. But you haven't seen the resentment, the hatred, the burning rage I feel for you, your brother. Of course, I'm not saying all this to change you, your brother, but to make you understand one thing: you dare not face all of this because you know that sooner or later you will suffer the consequences, just like you did for your elders, your family, your clan. I'm not speaking to you, you big black cat, but to the group of old fogies behind you. Those old fogies are thinking too beautifully, they are thinking too beautifully. They think they can do everything, they can arrange everything, but in reality, they are too foolish."

"Do you understand what I'm saying? If you still don't understand, then I can't help you." (End of Chapter)
