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

"No matter what you say, I will not believe you in the slightest. Because those seniors told me that if I believe you, the consequences will be unimaginable. So I will absolutely not believe you in the slightest. I don't want my life to end up being deceived by you. So I hope you can leave. If you don't leave, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Zhang Ruochen's words made Fang Yu laugh. He hadn't expected Zhang Ruochen to dare speak to him like that, and then he simply laughed and said:

"Do you think you can kill me, or tear me to pieces, or whatever? You can choose how you want to do it. I'll let you choose—kill me, tear me to pieces, whatever you want, it's all fine, no problem. If you have the ability, you can do it now. If you don't, then shut up. If you don't have the ability, then get out of here, the farther the better. You don't want me in your world? Well, I'll tell you, I'm going to be in your world anyway. Why can't I stay here? This isn't your property, no, it really is your property, of course..." "This is my home, and not just yours. It's our home, right? So, I can stay here if I want to, and I can leave if I don't. As for if you really want me to leave, it's very simple: just commit suicide. If you commit suicide, I will naturally disappear, because if you commit suicide, those tragedies will naturally not happen. As long as those tragedies don't happen, I will naturally leave. So you now have two choices: one is to obediently listen to me, and the other is to commit suicide immediately, to die right in front of me. That way, I will leave immediately, and those tragedies will not happen, those tragedies caused by you will not occur. So, you scourge, shouldn't you commit suicide?"

"This is a knife that can kill you. Just use it to rip out your heart, tear yourself to pieces, and obliterate your soul. Then you'll be truly dead, with no hope of revival. To be honest, I don't want you to die, but if you continue like this, I can only say you must die, and I'll make you commit suicide. Like now, you take this knife and stab yourself in the heart, open your chest, rip out your heart, and then obliterate your soul. That way, you'll die without a burial place. No, I'll arrange a burial place for you. I'll arrange for your family's imperial mausoleum. In that place, you'll 'live' very well. In that place, you can..." You'll live very well, you'll live extremely well. After all, that's hell, it's the best place. So now you have two choices: I don't want your existence to affect my plans, nor do I want your existence to interfere with my plans. Honestly, your existence is a scourge, you know? Your existence causes many things that shouldn't happen, yet they do. Your existence is truly a headache, really, it's an extremely headache-inducing thing, nothing is more headache-inducing than this. I can guarantee that your existence is a headache-inducing thing for everyone, even me, you know? It's because of your existence that those things have to happen, and have to occur.

"Those tragedies shouldn't have happened, but because of you, they had to. Really, you're a scourge. I don't even know how to describe such a scourge. Because of your existence, those tragedies had to happen. Why do you exist? Why do you have to exist? You're clearly dead, so why do you still exist, and why are you so self-righteous about it, acting like everyone owes you something? Nobody owes you anything, absolutely nobody owes you anything. It's just that you shouldn't exist. You only exist because of that old bald monk. Logically, you shouldn't exist, and it's precisely because you shouldn't exist that those tragedies happened. But you just don't..." You're willing to disappear, yet you refuse to. Truly, you're incredibly selfish. You refuse to disappear simply because you want revenge, but that shouldn't be your concern at all. You shouldn't let your selfish actions affect others. Therefore, you shouldn't seek revenge, because it wasn't hatred; it was the path you chose. Do you understand? If it weren't the path you chose, none of this would have happened. Yet, you stubbornly believe that's the path you should choose, the path of revenge you should take. But you're incredibly foolish, so incredibly foolish that words fail to describe your stupidity. Frankly, you're the most foolish person I've ever met. And you're oblivious to it all. You think you're incredibly clever, that you can change everything, that you can save everything. But in reality, you can't save everything; you only cause tragedies. You only cause tragedies that shouldn't happen to occur one after another. Really, you shouldn't exist. I've made myself perfectly clear, but why won't you listen? Yes, you don't want to listen because listening would hurt you. You don't want to die. I understand, I understand perfectly. Since you don't want to die, then please get out of here! Don't let those tragedies happen! Those tragedies shouldn't have happened, but because of your existence, they are forced to occur. "Life, it's truly an incredibly painful thing, so incredibly painful. I don't know how to describe it. It's just too agonizing. I've tried so hard to persuade you, but why do you pretend not to understand, or rather, why don't you want to understand? Because you know you don't want to die, you can't die, you want revenge, you want to destroy that woman. But what did she do wrong? She did nothing wrong. The only one at fault is yourself, your self-righteousness. You've harmed so many people, caused so much trouble, all by yourself. Yet you're oblivious, you think you've done nothing wrong, but in reality, you're the one who's wrong the most."

"You don't need to say any more of this. I won't believe a single word you're saying. I simply don't believe what you mean by all this. Just give up on this idea. I will absolutely not believe any of this."

Zhang Ruochen was not moved by Fang Yu's words, nor did he look at the knife Fang Yu handed him, because he knew he shouldn't. If he did, he would lose, and he didn't want to lose. Therefore, he wouldn't look at the knife Fang Yu handed him. He didn't want to die, at least not now. He still wanted to take revenge.

"Believe it or not, what I'm saying is the truth. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I'm just telling you this. Whether you believe it or not is your business, and it has nothing to do with me. I hope you understand this. If you don't understand, then I really have nothing to say. I just hope you can understand this. If you don't understand, then I can only say that you are a fool, a fool so foolish that words cannot describe it. Whether you believe that you are such a fool is your business, and it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, you just need to think that you are very smart. Really, you just need to think that you are very smart. You don't need anything else, absolutely nothing else."

"Whether you live or die is meaningless to me. I just hope that those tragedies that shouldn't have happened won't happen. Really, those tragedies shouldn't have happened, but your existence has caused them. Do you think you should die? Do you think you'll die? Do you think you should die? Don't say you shouldn't die. You're the one who most deserves to die. You must die. If you don't die, those tragedies will happen one after another, one after another. So take this knife, rip out your heart, and obliterate your soul. That way, you won't even have a chance to reincarnate. Only then will those old guys completely lose hope and face what they need to do, instead of relying on a piece of trash like you, a piece of trash they've been playing with, to do things. Really, you're a piece of trash, a complete and utter piece of trash, you are..." You're a hopeless piece of trash. I just hope you understand this: your stupidity won't save anyone, not even yourself. Sigh, it's truly a headache, truly painful. Your stupidity is beyond words. I wish you could be a little smarter, precisely because I know you at least have a chance of survival. I really hope you can live, truly. But you really are a fool, a complete and utter fool. That's a fact, a truly foolish, hopeless fool. Everything I'm saying is true, and I hope you understand this. Don't think you have any ability, don't think you have any skill. Really, you are a complete and utter fool, a hopeless fool. I hope you understand this, don't think you can't do anything, don't think you can do everything. These are facts, not everything you claim to be.

"No matter what you say, I won't believe a single word. You don't need to waste any more time here, because I won't believe a single word you say. If I did, I'd be a fool, a complete fool. Everyone can see you have no good intentions towards me, so why should I believe anything you say? Everything you've said is a lie, a deception, just a ploy to make me end my own life, to make me commit suicide. That way, you won't have to get your hands on my blood, and those senior figures won't be able to blame you. That's your real goal. You're worried that after you kill me, those senior figures will kill you too. That's your so-called worry, that's your so-called fear. So, you want me to end my own life because you don't know how to eliminate me, this future threat, this hidden danger. My existence poses a huge threat to your plans and arrangements, so you're eager to kill me. That's your real goal, isn't it?"

"Who told you all this? Which idiot told you all this? Which bastard told you all this? I can tell you that not everything you said is true, or you could say that some of what you said is true. But I can tell you that the person who told you all this wasn't telling you the truth. Some of what they said is true, and some is false. It's a mix of truth and falsehood, different in some ways, yet all contained within it. As for wanting to kill you, that is indeed the truth. Because of your existence, so many tragedies have occurred. Because of your existence, so many things that shouldn't have happened have occurred. Shouldn't I kill you? Don't you think I should kill you?"

"Whether or not you should kill me is not up to you, but up to me. And I don't want to be killed by you. You don't need to keep arguing here; it's pointless, as you should know. So you don't need to keep going. You should do what you're supposed to do, instead of trying to tempt me into committing suicide in front of you. That's not what you should be doing, because I will absolutely not commit suicide. I still have so many things to do; how could I possibly commit suicide? It's absolutely impossible, absolutely impossible for it to happen. I can tell you clearly, it's absolutely impossible. I hope you understand that. It's absolutely impossible, and absolutely not allowed to happen. If you don't understand that, then there's nothing I can do. To be honest, you really should understand that, instead of trying to bewitch me into committing suicide." (End of Chapter)
