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

"You... why are you back again? Didn't you already leave? Why are you coming back? Is there something you forgot to bring?" Zhang Ruochen was shocked by Fang Yu's return. After all, Fang Yu had clearly said that he wouldn't come back. Why did he come back? This really shocked and puzzled him.

"Why did I come back? You shouldn't ask me that; you should ask those old fogies why I came back. If I didn't come back, wouldn't that fulfill their wishes and complete their arrangements? They wanted me to leave, but I didn't expect to actually fall for their trick. Since I've been tricked, naturally I have to change things, right? So I admit it, I have to admit it: if I didn't come back, they would have arranged things for me, my fate would have been set up for me. Doesn't that mean what I said earlier was wrong, that everything I said before was nonsense? Under these circumstances, do you think I shouldn't have come back? So I had to come back. If I didn't come back, not only would I be unable to change what I wanted to change, but I would also be a fool now, a puppet they've been playing, you know? If I didn't come back, I would be completely played by them. Under these circumstances, do you think I could not come back? Since they want to play me, then I'll let them play me to their heart's content, let them understand the consequences of playing me. Anyway, I will absolutely not let them get away with it. They'll have to see if they have the strength to play me. If they don't even have the strength..." "If they don't even have the strength, I'll see how they play me. I want to see what methods they have to manipulate me. I want to see how capable they are, how skilled they are. Trying to fight me is simply wishful thinking. Don't think that just because they've manipulated me once, they can manipulate me a second time. That's absolutely impossible. If it were that easy, wouldn't I be a real fool? Under these circumstances, I will not let them be satisfied no matter what. Since they want me to leave, I won't leave. Since they want me to go, I won't go. I want to see what they can do to me. They wanted to scheme to make me leave, right? Well, now that I'm back, I won't leave again. My previous departure only proves that I was out of my mind, that I fell for their trick, that I shouldn't be bothered anymore and should leave immediately. I really was out of my mind, really, to be honest, I feel like I was out of my mind to fall for their previous trick. I really was out of my mind. Anyway, this time I will not allow myself to be out of my mind. Under these circumstances, you don't need to ask me why I came back. I had to come back."

Fang Yu's furious voice made Zhang Ruochen feel like his head was about to explode, but he knew he couldn't let his head explode; he had to speak.

"But if you don't leave, they'll keep coming, one after another, and they'll definitely use this method to drive you away. They absolutely won't allow you to stay by my side and ruin their plans and arrangements. Although my fate is already sealed, I will do everything in my power to change it. You can rest assured, this time I understand their plans and arrangements, and I understand why they did this to me, so you don't need to worry about anything. As for my memories, although some have been erased, I feel that they definitely have ill intentions, and I also feel that they are genuinely good to me. Under these circumstances, I will make the most of the resources and motivation they gave me to grow and then take revenge. Although I don't know exactly what revenge I should take..." I shouldn't have reported it, but I know that if I don't follow their instructions, more people around me might die, and we might lose even more. In this situation, in a sense, I have no choice but to do as they say. No one else can do anything about it. I hope you can understand, and I hope you can leave temporarily. This would be better for both of us. I think you understand this very well. Some things are beyond our control; we must follow our fate. This is our fate, a fate we cannot choose. Although it can be changed to some extent, the ultimate outcome is almost always the same. This is something we can't change, and I hope you can understand.

"Who taught you to say those words? Was it those old guys? If they taught you to say that, then I'll definitely deal with you. Because I can't deal with those old guys right now, I can only deal with you temporarily, and I hope you understand that. I have to deal with you, otherwise I'll feel terrible, I'll feel awful, I can't get over this mental hurdle without giving you a good beating, so I have to deal with you, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. I always feel that you have ulterior motives, I always feel that you have other purposes, anyway, no matter what, you definitely have ulterior motives, I'm sure of that. You don't want me around, because it will affect many of your plans, and I know you've made a lot of plans, based on what you've said."

"I agree with your desire to change your fate, and I will help you. However, you also need to follow my instructions, and I hope you understand that. Of course, this also proves that I am using you. Yes, I am using you, just like those old guys. But I can guarantee that the tragedies around you will happen very, very, very rarely. Those tragedies shouldn't happen, so I don't want them to. Those tragedies were deliberately created for you by those old guys, and they saddened me greatly. I don't want those tragedies to happen, so I will try to change things and do my best to prevent those tragedies from occurring. I hope you can understand this. If you don't understand, I will make you understand. You can rest assured. In any case, I will absolutely not allow anyone to create those tragedies again. Those tragedies really shouldn't exist. To be honest, those tragedies..." They are all incredibly heartbreaking things, every single one of them. I truly don't understand why those old fogies create so many tragedies. What good do those tragedies do for them? They keep saying it's to make you stronger, to make your heart more resolute, to make your blood colder. That way, you'll become stronger, but wouldn't you become a monster, a monster without emotion? Would that still be you? That wouldn't be you anymore; you'd be a puppet they want to control. So, I will never allow that to happen. Those tragedies shouldn't exist, they simply cannot exist. If the tragedies should exist, I wouldn't change them, but since they shouldn't exist, I will change them. Don't think I'm lying; that's because you haven't understood what I mean. In short, I will absolutely not allow those tragedies to happen. If they were to happen, it wouldn't be good for anyone, especially for you. You would not only lose the people you love, the people you care about, everything, but you would also be left battered and bruised. So I won't allow those tragedies to happen. Perhaps you don't understand what I'm saying now, perhaps you think I'm using you. Yes, I am using you, but one thing I'm certain of is that even if I'm using you, it's so that those tragedies won't happen again. I dare not say it's for your own good, but it's so that those tragedies won't happen again. Those tragedies really shouldn't happen again. Every time they happen, they will leave you battered and bruised, and they will make your blood colder. But I believe your blood won't turn to ice, so I believe you will always have a heart full of passion, and that's enough, you know? This is what you should be doing, instead of letting those old guys turn you into a... Ice Man. That's what they want, but not what the world wants, not what the universe wants, not what this world wants, and not even what your friends and family want. They don't want it, I don't want it, nobody wants it. Only those old fogies want it, because only then can you control them, only then can they get what they want. That's what they want. And what I'm going to do is shatter their dreams, their ideas, their plans, make their plans impossible to achieve forever. That's what I'm going to do. They might hate me, hate me with a vengeance, because they already know what I'm going to do, so they hate me with a vengeance. But they won't dare touch me. If they do, they're doomed. I'm certain of that. If they do touch me, they will definitely not have a good ending. I'm certain of that. I guarantee it, and I'm certain they won't have a good end. If they dare touch me, I'm absolutely confident I can make them die wherever they want to die—this universe. But they don't want to die. They don't even want to die of old age. They already possess immense power, yet they refuse to die of old age. What does that mean? It means they are truly a bunch of immortal beings. Since they don't want to die, then I'll send them to their deaths. If they don't die, it's truly unsettling for me. Their survival is unacceptable to me. Since it's unacceptable, then I absolutely cannot let them live, right? So what they need to do is simple: obediently and obediently die. Only then might I spare their families, their descendants, their offspring, everything they have. If they don't obediently die, then I have no choice but to wipe them all out. This is what I should do, and it's something I must do. If I don't do it, no one else can; only I can do it. Do you understand? No matter the cost, I must do this. If I don't, many tragedies will occur, and these tragedies are things I don't want to happen. These tragedies cannot happen under any circumstances; if they do, far too many people will die. This is truly not what we should be doing, but those old fogies seem to want these things to happen as if they're watching a show, because these things have no harm to them, no value whatsoever. Their only value is making you stronger, but this strength is a cold, indifferent strength, a chilling strength, a strength that shouldn't exist. Therefore, I will not allow this. I hope you can understand why this happened. If you don't understand, then I really can't help you anymore. I believe that one day you will understand, and you will realize what I mean. I know you are a very, very good person, but I also believe you must understand what I'm saying. If you don't understand, then all I can say is that everything before was in vain. I know I shouldn't be telling you this, that it has no value or meaning, but I still have to tell you because I have no other choice, no other way. If I had any other option, I wouldn't be here telling you this. It's just that I've been tricked by them, and I'm very angry, extremely angry. I want to see what those old bastards are up to, what they're planning to do. So, what are those old geezers' goals? I need to figure that out. If I don't, I'll be in a terrible state. If those old geezers try to use this method against me again, I can only say they're overthinking it. I absolutely will not allow this to continue. Really, I absolutely will not allow this to happen, absolutely not. If this happens, it will have a huge impact on me, a very huge impact. I absolutely will not allow this to happen. If it happens, it just means I've lost my mind. So, no matter what, this should not happen, it must be resolved, I absolutely will not allow this to happen. You can rest assured, this will absolutely not happen a second time, absolutely not. I must nip this in the bud. (End of Chapter)
