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

After the old bald monk left, Fang Yu finally had a period of peace.

This was a period of great relief for him, and during this time he did some things that were enough to change the tragedy that should have happened.

Fang Yu was overjoyed that these tragedies would never happen again, and in his joy, he went to find his younger brother.

Now, his younger brother's strength is also growing very quickly, completely exceeding the original plot. This is mainly because he changed those tragedies, making his younger brother, who was originally not strong enough, even stronger.

The reason is naturally that more resources were provided, coupled with the help of those old fogies.

"Now you know how wonderful it is to have me as your brother, right? I can make you stronger, more invincible, but there's a lot you need to do. It's not that I'm going to take advantage of you or do anything bad to you, but there are some things we absolutely have to do. If we don't do them, the consequences will be very, very serious, unimaginably serious, you know? Really, sometimes it's really serious, not as serious as you imagine. Those serious things are enough to fill your life with tragedy, and tragedy is the last word that should ever be used, because it's caused by bastards. So we have to wipe out those bastards. Only by wiping out those bastards can we live the life we ​​want. It's really only by wiping out those bastards that we can achieve this. If we don't wipe out those bastards, wanting to achieve this is just a joke, a complete pipe dream, you know? Those bastards are really hateful, to be honest, those bastards are truly despicable. What we have to do is kill those bastards, cut them into a thousand pieces."

Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, Zhang Ruochen spoke first.

"You don't need to say anything more. It's pointless for you to say anything more. I can believe what you say, and I believe it completely, but even so, what can you do? You can change whatever you want, but what can you ultimately achieve? You just want to use us to get what you want. It's not that you're any better; you just want to use us. What's the point? What's the point of what you're saying? In short, we won't be used by you. As for what you want to do with us, go ahead. If you can do it, then you can use us as you please. But if you can't, I hope you can leave, leave far away, and stop bothering our lives."

"It's what those old fogies told you, it's what they made you tell me, right? Those old fogies are really annoying, telling you so much, and what they say is actually true. I have to say, those old fogies are quite capable, really, I really admire them, to be able to tell you so much. This completely breaks the rules of the game; they shouldn't be telling you so much. Obviously, they're worried that I'll make some more changes to your life, because there have already been too many changes, so they're worried, they're too worried. No, it should be said that they're afraid, they're so afraid that they have to change your thoughts, have to change your mindset, have to change your consciousness, to make you think I'm a bad guy. Actually, I'm not a bad guy. I hope you can understand this, if you don't, it's really a pity. I know you don't want to be used by me, but do you want to be used by those old fogies? They also want to use you to achieve their goals, and in this process, you will need to experience, endure, and face..."

"None of these are things you want to encounter, none of these are things you want to happen, but they will do these things under the guise of helping you grow. It's wonderful that they have this idea, you know? Because it allows them to achieve their goals, to use you as a pawn, to completely control you. Only in this way can you become their toy, their puppet, the being they want to control. Only in this way can you be controlled by them, and then they can get what they want."

"I've told you all this, but unfortunately, you don't seem to believe me. It's truly regrettable, so regrettable. I can't even bring myself to talk about it because it's such a sad thing, something that can't be described in words. I only hoped you could become stronger. I never intended to use you, or rather, I never intended for you to suffer any harm. Even if you were harmed, I could handle it. But clearly, you don't trust me; instead, you trust those old fogies."

"They've all told me the same things, and they've said almost the same things, so who do you think I should believe?"

Looking at the sighing Fang Yu, Zhang Ruochen spoke with unusual calm, recounting everything he had experienced. He truly didn't know who to believe. He felt Fang Yu was telling the truth, but he also felt the older generation's words were true; Fang Yu was using him, trying to get what he needed through him. In essence, both sides were slandering each other. "You can believe them, or you can believe me, it's all up to you. If you believe them, you'll experience the most painful and tragic things imaginable. If you believe me, your life will become incredibly wonderful, incomparably wonderful—I can guarantee that, absolutely. I have enough confidence to guarantee it. But if you believe them, your life will be utterly miserable, and they'll claim it's all for your own good. I don't want to believe a single word of that, because only a fool would believe such nonsense. Whether you believe it or not is your business; it's none of my concern."

"I just want you to believe what I say. Whether you believe what they say or not is not important. The important thing is that you believe what I say. You can believe what they say if you want, or not if you don't. I will not have any objections or problems."

"But what you're saying is completely the opposite. They won't let me believe what you're saying, and yet you're saying this. It really makes me not understand who I should believe. I know I might need to believe what you're saying, but I always feel that what you're saying also has ulterior motives; I also feel that I should believe what they're saying, but just as you said, they definitely have ulterior motives."

"Good, good. The fact that you understand this proves that you are not beyond redemption, that there is still hope for you, and that there is still hope in your life. It is not completely hopeless. This is certain. There is still hope in your life, there is indeed still hope."

"Now I can finally relax. I can be completely at ease, really, I can. My life is complete now, and yours is complete too. I hope you will always remember what I said and not misunderstand me. Any misunderstanding would be a terrible thing for you, and your life might change because of it. I hope your life becomes better and stronger. Most importantly, I hope you become stronger. This is a good thing for you and for everyone, you know? As for those old fogies, their thoughts are actually very simple."

"They just want what they want from you, what they've always dreamed of. That's their goal, but it's impossible for them to achieve it because you're powerful. I believe you can break free from their control, especially with my help. I will definitely help you break free from their control; I can guarantee that. I have the ability to do it, I absolutely can. There's nothing I can't do, so you can rest assured. If even I can't do it, the consequences would be unimaginable, but clearly, I can do it. Sigh, to be honest, I'm a truly terrifying being. It's precisely because I'm so terrifying that we've been able to get to where we are today. If I weren't terrifying enough, then getting to where we are today would be a complete joke, you know? A complete joke. I really hope that one day we can become even stronger, incomparably strong. That's what we should be doing, you know? That's what we should be doing. Really, I'm not lying; I'm stating a fact. That's what we should be doing."

"If you don't understand, if you don't comprehend, it only means your strength isn't enough. Once your strength is sufficient, you'll naturally understand what I mean. With enough strength, you can do whatever you want—whether it's breaking free from my control or theirs, it's all possible, you're capable of it, there's no doubt about that. What you lack now is sufficient strength, and to gain such strength, you need to cultivate diligently—cultivate to what extent? Cultivate to the point where you can change everything I've described. Really, I'm not lying to you, I'm not playing games with you, I'm telling you a fact. Only in this way can you become stronger, change your life, and ensure the safety and happiness of those you want to protect." "Big brother, this is something you absolutely must do. If you can't, you'll face certain death, understand? I believe you can do it, because your situation is exactly the same as mine was back then. I could do it myself, and I believe you, as my younger brother, can definitely do it too. If you can't, don't worry too much, because I absolutely wouldn't dare let you die. If you died, the consequences would be unimaginable. I hope you understand that. If you don't understand that, it only means one thing: they misjudged you, they really misjudged you, and I misjudged you too. To be honest, it means we both misjudged you. But I believe we definitely didn't misjudge you, neither they nor I, otherwise we wouldn't have chosen you."

Didn't you say I was stupid before?

"It is indeed stupid, yes, you're right about that. You are indeed stupid, extremely stupid. Anyone with a brain wouldn't ask such a question. But there's nothing I can do; you're the only one I can choose. I have absolutely no choice in anyone else. I hope you understand this. If you don't, it would be a real shame. But I also believe that sooner or later you will understand what I'm saying. Really, I believe you will understand someday. When you understand, that will be our victory, that will be your victory, that will be the time you take control of your own destiny. I'm not lying to you, nor am I playing you; I'm just telling you a fact." I'm telling you the truth, a complete and utter truth. Alas, it's truly a great pity. I never imagined I would place all my hopes on you. It's such a shame. If I had any other choice, I wouldn't have put all my hopes on you. I would have placed them on many other people. Only then could they save the world, only then could they change the universe, change many lives, and prevent those tragedies from happening. But obviously, it's impossible. What a pity, what a real pity. Alas, there's absolutely nothing I can do. You know? I have absolutely nothing. If there were even the slightest way, I wouldn't have done this. There's truly absolutely nothing I can do.

"I understand what you mean." (End of Chapter)
