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

"Don't you think you're ridiculous? How much of what you're saying is true? What can you possibly do to stop it? You might stop one, you might stop two, but can you stop all the tragedies? There are countless tragedies in the entire universe, no, in the entire world. Can you possibly stop all of them? You'd be incredibly capable of stopping a few, but trying to stop all the tragedies is utterly impossible. These tragedies weren't caused by us; they are tragedies that we must experience, that we must encounter. If we didn't experience these tragedies, then humanity wouldn't be able to, or rather, wouldn't..." He might become powerful. The power we're referring to isn't outward strength, but inner strength. Without an unbreakable heart, how could he possibly overcome that calamity? If he couldn't overcome that calamity, how could he possibly become a god, a god-king, a god-venerable? These are things no ordinary being can do, and naturally, they are not things he could achieve. Reaching our level, which of us hasn't experienced countless hardships? How many of us have received help from others, or even been able to receive help from others? We've all reached this point step by step through our own efforts.

"If you didn't have your father's status, if you didn't have your father's position, if you didn't have everything your father has, what right do you think you have to stand here and talk to me? What right do you have to have reached this point? These are all things your elders gave you, not things you achieved through your so-called indestructible heart. You didn't achieve these things on your own; you achieved them because of everything your elders gave you. Without everything your elders gave you, wanting to reach this point would be a joke, a complete pipe dream. Don't you understand?"

Fang Yu's words made the old man's face turn extremely ugly, because the old man knew very well that everything Fang Yu said was true, without the slightest falsehood.

"Aren't you the same?"

“That’s right, that’s true. I relied entirely on my sister. You could say I relied entirely on my sister. I’ve never said I didn’t rely on anyone else, which shows that I have a very kind heart. I don’t want so many tragedies to happen. My heart is incredibly kind. So many tragedies are not good for anyone, so I don’t want them to happen. I want to change all of this. This is enough to prove what? It proves that I have good family upbringing, and it proves that everything I’ve done is not wrong, while everything you’ve done is wrong.”

"It's just that you're unwilling to admit it. You're completely unwilling to admit your mistakes. Instead, you keep making the same mistakes and finding all sorts of reasons to justify your actions in order to prove that you're right. But are you really right? You're not right at all. You're absolutely wrong. You have absolutely no chance of being right. You're just a bunch of people who only know how to make mistakes, people who only know how to make many mistakes and who don't know how to repent. Sigh, I know that no matter how much I say, you won't believe me."

"Because if you believe this, it proves your stupidity. If you believe this, it proves that your previous plan was flawed and wrong. You need to change all the plans and arrangements. The effort required, the cost, and the consequences will be completely different. It may even cause your plan to fail completely."

“What you said is all correct, but as you said, we cannot change our arrangements and plans. If we do, the consequences will be beyond what you and I can bear. In fact, no one can bear such consequences. Even you cannot bear such consequences. You should be very clear about this. You don't need to ask us anymore. You should know this perfectly well. If you could bear these consequences, you should have done so long ago, instead of wasting your breath talking to us here. You should have taken the initiative to bear them yourself. Only then will you have the right to criticize us. Otherwise, you have no right to criticize us at all.”

"Isn't what you're saying incredibly shameless? Absolutely shameless! It's clearly your fault, yet you want me to bear the consequences. I've already tried to change your mistakes, altered your plans and arrangements, and done everything I could to minimize the tragedies. But you insist it's my fault, that I'm wrong, and that you're innocent, or that you know you're wrong but refuse to change. And you want me to bear the consequences? Don't you think you're incredibly shameless? It's like shamelessness itself is blatant blatant disregard for shamelessness—you're beyond stupid; you're the epitome of stupidity and shamelessness."

"Under these circumstances, the fact that you have been able to cultivate to this level is truly a disgrace to the reputation of your ancestors. I suspect that your ancestors were just as shameless as you are, or if they knew how shameless you are, would they have slapped you all to death? Do you think that makes sense? Do you think it's possible that your ancestors would have slapped you all to death? I think it's very possible that such a thing could happen."

"It just so happens that some of your ancestors are still alive. You can ask them if they'll slap you to death. If they won't, then it proves your entire family is shameless. If they will, then be prepared to be slapped to death by your own ancestor. That way, you'll die a worthy death, a death that deserves, without any regrets. It'll be a perfectly justified death, with no need for further regrets. Don't you agree? Don't you think so? Right? Isn't that right? I think that's how it is, isn't that the truth?"

"You don't need to waste your breath here, because no matter how much you say, it's useless. If you really want to change, then go ahead and change, but you'll have to bear the consequences. You should know very well what those consequences are." "Alright, stop being so shameless. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You only have one idea: to find a way to make me bear the consequences, because you know you're wrong but are unwilling to take responsibility, so you can only find someone to take the blame. Sigh, I have to say, your skin is exceptionally thick. But that's normal; after all, such thick skin suits your image and your style of doing things. Such thick skin is just too much in line with your ways."

"Why are you so determined to change so many tragedies? What do those tragedies have to do with you? I just don't understand why you want to change so many tragedies. Sometimes tragedy is a good thing; at least it lets some people understand that if they make a mistake, tragedy will follow. Maybe then they'll have a chance to regret it, and it can serve as a sufficient reminder. If they aren't given enough reminders, they might repeat the same mistakes. But if you change those tragedies, maybe they'll think that even if the consequences are severe, someone will correct them and help them resolve the trouble they've caused. In that case, why would you help them?"

"Why can't I help them? As for those tragedies, why can't I change them? Let them bear the consequences of the mistakes you mentioned. All I need to do is make myself happy. I don't need to bear the consequences of those tragedies. I just want to change them. What do the consequences have to do with me? I'm not a saint. I just want to be happy, it's that simple. As for the consequences, let them be. I can just walk away. I don't need to worry about how they will affect me. Even if they have a huge impact on me, so what? What does it matter? I can completely ignore them. No matter how severe the consequences are, I won't be affected. Don't you understand that? Or do you think I'm easy to bully, that I should bear those consequences, that I'm a saint? Do you think you've planned this very carefully?"

"You think I'll bear the consequences, that I must bear the consequences, only in this way can your plan be perfected, only in this way can you successfully withdraw, only in this way can you scheme against me, then use my power to fix your mistakes and save your world. These are your thoughts, right? These are your thoughts, so how could I possibly fall for such a trick? How could I possibly fall for such a trick? I'm not stupid, am I?"

"Alright, alright, stop pretending with me. I know exactly what you're thinking. I don't want to criticize you or point out your mistakes, because you know your mistakes yourselves."

"Since you all know, why should I waste my breath? Of course, you certainly won't admit that you have made so many mistakes. Really, you certainly won't admit it."

"You don't need to say anything more. Whatever our mistakes were, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you don't want to correct them and don't want to take responsibility, then please leave, okay?"

The old man brought up the topic again, and Fang Yu chuckled and shook his head at the old man's request, saying:
"Do you think it's possible? Do you think there's even a sliver of possibility? It's impossible. I think you should know that very well. Don't ask me why, because it's inherently impossible. I've already said that I will absolutely not leave easily. If I leave easily, the consequences will be unimaginable, and I don't want to bear such severe consequences. Although I'm not afraid to take responsibility, I really don't want to bear such severe consequences. Such severe consequences should be borne by you yourselves, not by me. Don't you understand this? If you don't understand, then I'm telling you now, I cannot bear such severe consequences. Such severe consequences are your own doing, and you will bear them yourselves. If you can't bear them, then you might as well die. I'm not joking; I'm stating a fact. I think you should be able to hear it and understand it. So don't ask me why I'm so cold-blooded and ruthless, because I have to be cold-blooded and ruthless. If I'm not cold-blooded and ruthless, then in the end, only I will suffer, not anyone else."

"Since you know you will suffer, why do you still stay and try to change those tragedies? Since you know there will be such consequences, why do you deliberately provoke them? You could have avoided it, you could have avoided getting involved in these things. Don't say it's for your own happiness. You should know very well that if things go wrong, you will not only not be happy, but you will also regret it. So, to avoid you regretting it, we are letting you leave."

"The main problem is that you can't beat me. If you could, you wouldn't be wasting your time talking to me, arguing with me one after another, just to get me to leave. You're afraid I'll affect your plans and arrangements. This is a massive, unparalleled plan affecting the Three Realms, so you don't want it to fail. You think I'll cause it to fail. But have you ever considered that my existence might actually make it more perfect, more successful, more joyful, and make everyone happier, instead of you having to plan everything in fear and try to change everything every day? Is that possible? I think it's very possible. Don't you agree? If you think I'm admitting defeat, then I can only say you're overthinking it. I will never admit defeat; that's absolutely impossible. So don't overthink it either. It's impossible. I hope you understand." (End of Chapter)
