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

“Brother, you see, they don’t dare to lay a hand on me, they don’t dare to kill me either. That’s the difference between our statuses. If they didn’t need you, they would definitely have killed you. But it’s precisely because they need you that they don’t dare to kill you. Even if they don’t need me, or even hate me to the core, they still don’t dare to kill me, because the consequences of killing me would be too severe. Firstly, the price they would have to pay would not be a little bit, but a lot.”

"It could even be said that the amount was so much that they simply couldn't afford it. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly dare to kill me? That's why they kept nagging me to leave. They knew that if I didn't leave, things would become extremely complicated, and their original plans would need to be changed. I was an uncertain variable. No matter what changes occurred in the future, they had ways to deal with them. But for me, for such a variable, they had absolutely no way to deal with me. They could only rely on my mood. I could do whatever I wanted, and it had nothing to do with them. Under such circumstances, how could they not hate me? How could they not hate me? They hated me to the core. But no matter how much they hated me, they couldn't change the fact that they couldn't do anything to me. Since they couldn't do anything to me, they could only obediently do as I said. If they didn't do as I said, then they would only have one way out: death."

"As for what kind of dead end that will be, that depends on their luck. They might be torn apart by five horses, shattered into pieces, or sliced ​​into a thousand pieces. All of these are possible ways to die, and I can guarantee that. Don't you agree?"

After everyone left, he told his younger brother about it, since his brother had been listening in the dark the whole time.

“Even so, I still think you should leave. If you don’t leave, they will keep bothering you, which is not good for anyone, including yourself. If you want to change those tragedies, you can wait for me to change them. I will never allow those tragedies to happen. I can assure you of that. I will never allow those things, those tragedies, to happen. As long as I am here, those tragedies will never happen, never happen.”

"Have you figured this out? Those tragedies only happen because of your existence, because you're here. They only happen because those old, shameless, despicable bastards chose you. In reality, tragedies would happen no matter who they chose, only the victims would be different—no longer the people around you. Unless you give up this identity, changing those tragedies is simply impossible. And can you give up this identity? You simply cannot, you have no ability to, and you don't deserve to. That's the truth, and I'm not lying to you."

"I'm telling you a fact, telling you the truth. I have to make it clear to you. If I don't, the consequences will be unpredictable. I have to make these things clear to you no matter what. If I don't, it's unimaginable how tragic and miserable the consequences will be. It's inevitable. So don't think I'm being long-winded. I have to make it clear to you, and you have to understand all these things. If you don't understand all these things, the consequences will be unpredictable. Once those consequences happen, the tragedies will be even greater."

"What I least want is for those tragedies to happen. For me, those tragedies are absolutely unacceptable. Therefore, I will not allow them to occur. If they do, the consequences will be unpredictable, and you might suffer an even more tragic end. While you won't die, your fate will be far from good. You might experience a mental breakdown, a personality upheaval—all of these are possible. However, with the passage of time, things will gradually improve, making your heart stronger and your strength greater. This is why those old fogies create so many tragedies—because tragedy can promote growth, development, and strength. And you are the one they have chosen. Although you are no longer considered human, you are still human. What I mean is, you should already know whether you are human or not, so I don't need to say more, right? Therefore, what you need to do now is to stay here obediently and do as I say. If you don't believe me and don't do as I say, then tragedies will occur, and more people will die—so many that you..." It's unimaginable, far more than you can handle. You'll definitely be heartbroken and sad, and there's nothing I can do about it, not even for me. I truly have no other choice. The only solution I can think of is for you to obediently follow me. If you don't, the consequences will be unpredictable, beyond your imagination, absolutely beyond your wildest dreams. If not beyond your wildest dreams, then it's simply unpredictable. That's what you should be doing, not trying to get rid of me. You can't get rid of me; I think you understand that perfectly well. Why are you even thinking about getting rid of me? It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Trying to get rid of me is utterly impossible, never will, absolutely unacceptable. If you try to get rid of me, your fate, your end, will be incredibly tragic. As for how tragic, I can't tell you, but it will be incredibly tragic. If you get rid of me, you might ultimately lose, and if you lose, the outcome will be a colossal tragedy—a colossal tragedy for you, but a great boon for those who oppose you.”

"Anyway, they never had any good intentions from the beginning. They just wanted to kill you all so they could have peace of mind. How wonderful that would be! Actually, I also want to live that kind of wonderful life, but unfortunately, I can't. I also want to help them complete their plan ahead of time, but that would mean the deaths of many people I care about. Those are people I care about deeply; I don't want anything to happen to them, but something is bound to happen to them. Therefore, I must change those things, those people's fates. If I don't act, if I don't change things, none of them will have a good ending, and all of this is caused by you, you bastard. In this situation, do you think I should kill you? Just like before..." What I said about killing you is indeed a possibility. If you don't do as I say, or if you cooperate with those bastards and cause my plan to fail, then I will definitely kill you to silence you. Although killing you would have very serious and unacceptable consequences, if I don't kill you, or if you stubbornly refuse to obey, the consequences would be even more unacceptable. I think it's necessary to do it this way; not doing so would be truly unacceptable. I'm not joking; I'm stating a fact, and I hope you can understand it. If you don't understand it, then it can only mean one thing…?

"I'm so stupid, aren't I? It's because of my stupidity that so many things have happened. It's because I didn't know what to do that these things happened. But I don't think it's a good thing to listen to you and do what you want to do. What you say and what you want to do may be good for you and can change those tragedies, but it doesn't seem to be of much use to me. You should know that very well. Why do you still want me to do it, and why should I do it? You should understand that. It's because what you're saying doesn't benefit me, so can I refuse?"

"Of course you can refuse, that's absolutely fine, I won't have any objections. As long as you have the ability, you can refuse if you want, or accept if you don't want to, it's all up to you, I won't have any objections at all. But what kind of tragedy will ultimately happen is your own business, it has nothing to do with me. I think you should be very clear about this. Whether you refuse or not, it doesn't really mean much to me. If you refuse, then your future is up to you. If you accept, then I can arrange your future perfectly, so that fewer tragedies will happen around you. Those tragedies shouldn't have happened in the first place, it's because of those bastards that those tragedies have to happen. Don't you think those bastards are despicable? Don't you think those bastards are despicable? It's because of those bastards that I have to step in and stop all of this, because I don't want those tragedies to happen, if those tragedies happen, it's not a good thing for anyone."

"As long as those tragedies can be resolved, then everything else will be fine. You should understand that, don't think you don't understand, don't think you can change things, or that you can stop everything. That's impossible. I can tell you, it's because of your existence that those tragedies had to happen, and it's because of your existence that those tragedies had to happen. So the simplest and most direct way is to get rid of you. But if we kill you, then there will only be more tragedies, because choosing a suitable one is simply unrealistic, at least in terms of time. You can be said to be our last hope."

"So if I kill you, those old geezers will definitely step in to stop me, they will definitely stop me. There's no doubt about that, there's no need to even consider it, it's bound to happen. It's precisely because of this that I have to consider keeping you here, letting you go. Sigh, this is really a headache, an unacceptable thing, but I have to accept it. Really, this is something that's unacceptable, yet I have to accept it. It's a headache to the extreme, but I have no choice but to accept it."

"What will happen if I choose to leave?"

“I want to leave, leave this place, and become stronger so that I can change the tragedies you mentioned. Or rather, I want to leave, to get further and further away from the people I care about, so that they won’t end up in such a miserable state. That’s one solution. It doesn’t necessarily require your intervention or help. I just need to follow the steps. Isn’t that enough?”

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. You simply can't do this. It's something you have no chance of doing, no hope of doing, and absolutely no value in. If you do it, you'll only drag more and more people down with you, until eventually even you can't accept it, because you're a very sentimental person. It's precisely because you're so sentimental that so many tragedies have occurred. If you want to resolve these tragedies, there's another way: don't be sentimental, become a cold-blooded, ruthless person. Only then can you prevent those bastards from threatening you with your family and friends, because you fundamentally..." If they don't care, then they have no meaning or value to those bastards. You should understand this clearly, right? I don't need to elaborate. Only when you become cold-blooded and ruthless, only when you become devoid of emotion, will those bastards stop targeting your family and friends. Because to them, they are no longer useful; they can't be used to threaten you. Since they can't be used to threaten you, then they have no value and pose no danger. In this situation, what should you do? Don't you understand? You should act properly, be a good person, it's that simple. Don't think about anything else. (End of Chapter)
