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

"Actually, it's not me who should leave, but you, you bastard. To be honest, I have absolutely no good feelings towards you, not a single bit. We can only be enemies, there's no way we can coexist peacefully, you should know that, I don't need to say more, right? Sigh, to be honest, your existence is really heartbreaking, sad, and unacceptable to me. Because you are just too disgusting. Not only can you not change your own fate, but you have to follow it. This is a very tragic thing, a very painful thing, of course, that's how it is for you. For me, it's not like that at all. For me, this is very normal. It's something to be happy about, there's nothing to be unhappy about, it's something to be happy about, and I should be happy about it. If I'm not happy, I'd be letting you down. So this is your life, no need for any bargaining, just follow the steps. You think you can arrange everything, you think you can change your own fate, but in reality, you can't change it at all."

"If you really want to change things, the simplest way is to get out of this world, out of this universe, and find the path you should truly walk, instead of trying to change everyone. You can't do that, you're incapable of it. Because you don't have that ability, and besides, everything you've tried to change is actually all preordained by fate. You simply can't change any of it, yet you insist you can. Don't you think you're incredibly foolish? You're utterly stupid. You should know you can't change anything, no matter how hard you try. Fate can't change your original fate. Although your power has reached the point where you can change most people's destinies, have you ever considered that those were their predetermined destinies? Their predetermined fates were changed by you, and yet you're still smugly believing you can..." Trying to change everyone's fate is futile. Fate is both predetermined and unpredictable from the start; it holds countless possibilities. One moment you might be alive, the next dead; one moment you might have a chance to live, the next gone. Fate is a series of unpredictable possibilities. You think you can change other people's fates, but you haven't changed or accomplished anything, yet you still believe you can. This is utterly ridiculous, incredibly ridiculous. Frankly, it's laughable to the extreme, so ridiculous that you can't even accept it. Therefore, don't try to change so many people's fates; it's pointless. You don't have the ability to change so many people's fates, you know? The fates of so many people are beyond your control.

"You could even say that everyone's fate is fixed. You can't change anyone's fate at all. For example, if you want to change someone's fate, their fate itself will be changed by you. That's also their fate, just one kind of fate. There are countless kinds of fate, and no matter what you do, you can't escape it. Just like your fate, your current status, identity, strength, and everything you have now is also a kind of fate. You want to become stronger, so you scheme to change the fate of the person who gave you such a powerful destiny, hoping that they can get what you can't get, and then you can kill them and get what you can get."

"Have you ever thought that if you changed his fate, would your fate also change as a result? Would you never have been born? Or would you never have appeared in this universe, in this world? Would another you have appeared? Would another uncontrollable version of yourself appear, or a version of yourself that doesn't exist?"

"These situations are all possible, and they are all inevitable. You cannot change them because you lack the ability and the capacity. Therefore, I hope you can understand this, and then give up everything you have now to solve your own problems, the problems you must solve. If you cannot solve them, then your fate will remain fixed from the beginning. The only way to change this, or rather, to have a better fate, is to leave. Stop forcing things, because no matter how much you force it, you will not get it, you cannot obtain it. Do you know that this is something you cannot have, something you cannot obtain? Alas, this is a very painful thing. I know you cannot understand, and you cannot accept it, but there is no other way. No one wants to do these things, and no one can change them. No one wants their fate to become miserable, so I hope you can understand this principle. Don't think about making other people's fates miserable; this is not something you should think about, nor is it something you should do." "You should honestly do as I say, instead of trying to change my brother's fate. He shouldn't be changed by you. His fate is his to decide, his to choose. You exist because of him. When will you understand this? It's because of his existence that you've been able to exist until now. Without him, your desire to exist is pure wishful thinking. Without him, you simply cannot exist. So, trying to change his fate is suicidal, a complete suicide mission. If you change his fate, your own fate will change accordingly, and you might not even exist. Under these circumstances, do you still want to change his fate? You won't even think about it anymore, because you know what this situation is like, you know how terrifying it is. Once it happens, it's beyond your control, completely beyond your control. You can't change it, you can't control it, you can't obtain it; you can only be forced to accept it all. So, you should leave."

"Interesting, very interesting indeed, you are truly fascinating. I thought you were asking me to leave, but I never expected you to ask me to leave? Do you think this is even possible? It's clearly an absolute impossibility, yet you dare to ask me to leave. This is completely beyond my expectations; I never imagined you would do such a thing. You've rambled on and on, hoping I'll leave so you can control everything, obtain everything, and get everything you want, right? Isn't my purpose the same as yours? My existence is to change everything you want to change, so our goals are the same. There's no need for this hypocritical pretense of being a good person."

The old man spoke. Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh at what he said, shaking his head in denial:

"It seems you bastard have no idea what I'm saying. I've never thought that way, nor have I ever believed it. You just arrogantly think you understand everything I'm saying, that it's all for everyone's good. But unfortunately, in your eyes, everything I'm doing is for myself. I'm only doing it for everyone's good, not for myself. But in your eyes, you're only doing it for yourself. Your leaving is for everyone's good, a beneficial thing for everyone, because you shouldn't have stayed here in the first place. Because of my presence, you'll only end up with no good outcome. But you insist on staying. What are you after? You want to change your fate. But I've made your fate very clear: you can't change it. It's already predetermined. Everyone's fate is predetermined, with a price already set. Your fate is also predetermined, no matter what you do." No matter how much you think about it, no matter how much you try to change it, you're only altering the fate you were meant to have. Therefore, you can't change your own destiny. No matter how much you try, your fate is predetermined; it's impossible to change or alter it because you can't do that. Trying to change his fate to change your own is incredibly foolish. As I've already clearly stated, you exist because of him; without him, you wouldn't exist. So no matter how you try to change it, you can't change this fact. He exists because of you; without him, you wouldn't exist. Do you understand this? And clearly, you don't. Or perhaps you know it but refuse to admit it. After all, I've made it very clear that the fate of the two of you, or rather, the fate of everyone in this world, was predetermined at the moment of birth. There's no way to change it; no matter how much you try, you're only changing what you perceive as a change in fate.

"But in reality, nothing has changed at all, and you can't change anything. That's all there is to it. So I hope you can understand this and leave quickly. This would be a good thing for you, for me, for everyone. It would be a very good thing for everyone. Don't you understand? What you want and what you want to do is simply impossible. If it doesn't exist, you will surely die. So stop thinking about it and stop asking. It's not important to you at all, really, it's not important to you at all. Because it's completely useless, absolutely useless. You can't change it, you can't change it, really, you simply can't change it. Sigh, it's really a headache. To be honest, you're really a headache. I've already explained it so clearly, but you still can't change anything because you simply don't want to change. You always think you should be able to change everything, but in reality, you can't, you can't achieve it."

"You don't need to say anything more. No matter how much you say, it's just to get me to leave. But I will absolutely not leave. If I leave, it will only benefit you. So you can give up on that idea. I will not leave under any circumstances. If I leave, it will be because I've fallen for your trick, and I will feel like I've lost everything. So you must guarantee one thing: that everything I've done is something I have to do. If that's the case, then I might consider leaving."

"Alright, alright, stop rambling on. Since you don't want to leave, I naturally won't say anything more. But I still hope you can leave, because that would be good for everyone. If you insist on not leaving, you're just courting death. This isn't a good thing, at least not for me. Really, it's not a good thing for either of us. It's not something that should happen. There shouldn't be so many arguments between us. All these arguments prove one thing: we have nothing to talk about. You go your way, I'll go mine. Neither of us needs to talk to the other."

"Alright, just go. Don't think about these things anymore, don't worry about them. If you don't want to leave, then there's nothing I can do. To be honest, this is something I really don't want to talk about. No matter how much you talk about it, you won't think about your mistakes, because no matter how much you talk about it, you won't think you were wrong."

"I have never made any mistakes, just as you said. I have never made any mistakes, so why should I think I am wrong? Why should I change? Why should I change these things? Why should I listen to you and change these things? Because these things are bad for me, but I feel that everything I do is for my own good. It is not like what you say, that it can cause me any harm or have any impact on me. These things simply do not exist. Why can't I think about them? Why can't I do them? Can you tell me this?"

The old man's words made Fang Yu smile, and it was a very handsome smile. (End of this chapter)
