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

"Since you say it's for our own good, then why are you unwilling to leave? You should know very well that leaving now is the best choice for you. Our world needs your help, yet you refuse to help us?"

Empress Chi Yao's words startled Fang Yu for a moment, and then he began to explain.

"Although you say you don't need me, you actually do. My purpose in coming here isn't purely for myself; it's more about changing those tragedies that shouldn't have happened. Those tragedies shouldn't have occurred, but because of you, they happened anyway, which I cannot tolerate. Under these circumstances, what do you expect me to do? Naturally, I should stay here as much as possible and help you resolve those tragedies. That's what I should be doing, and you should understand that. I don't need to say more, do I? I came here for myself, but even more so to change the tragic fate of those innocent people. Their fates have become tragedies because of you; isn't that something you should do your best to change?"

"Since you are unwilling to change, why can't you make me change instead of trying to make me do things I don't want to do? Saving this world is your business, and it has little to do with me. Just as you said, I am not from your world, so I have no obligation or responsibility to help you save this world or this universe."

Empress Chi Yao's expression turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing Fang Yu's words, but she had to admit that what Fang Yu said did indeed make sense.

In fact, when Fang Yu came to their world, he thought Fang Yu was a person from the Hell Realm, or more accurately, a living being, not a human. But he did not expect that Fang Yu came from another universe, or another world, and that this world was not the same as theirs.

"That being said, don't you want to change all of this? It should be possible to change it. If you're willing, you can change it. That would only benefit us all, and cause no harm. You should understand that. That way, you can also do your best to change those tragedies. Am I right?"

"What you say is indeed true, you could say it's absolutely correct. But what good does it do? I'm not willing, no one can force me, no one can change me. My decision has been made, and it won't be affected or changed in any way. I hope you can prepare yourself to become a god; that's what you should be doing, not trying to deal with me here. Even if you do interact with me here, it won't be of any use, you should know that very well. Because I won't help you do things I don't want to do. What I'm willing to do is change those tragedies, those tragedies that shouldn't exist in the first place. I must change them. Because they shouldn't have happened, but because of your stupidity, they did."

"So in a way, you are a good person. Since you are willing to change those tragedies, wouldn't you be willing to change and save the world? You know, if you change the world, those tragedies will no longer happen, and many good things will happen. Although tragedies can't be said to never happen again, they can at least be reduced a lot, and all you need to do is lend a hand."

Empress Chi Yao continued her persuasion. Clearly, she valued Fang Yu's help greatly, because she knew very well that Fang Yu's assistance was indispensable to completely resolve their current troubles and crisis; only with Fang Yu's help could they solve everything. She also hoped that Fang Yu would do everything in his power to help.

"Are you out of your mind? This isn't just a small favor; it requires my utmost effort, and I might even risk my life. In this situation, I don't have the selfless heart to offer help. If changing those tragedies only requires a tiny price to pay, I can bear that price, and I'm qualified and capable of bearing it. But if it's about saving the universe, saving the world, that's an extremely impossible thing. You should understand that."

Fang Yu felt like he was laughing in anger, because what Empress Chi Yao said was so ridiculous that he was speechless.

"But you are clearly capable of doing it, and it doesn't necessarily require you to risk your life; all you need to do is give your all to help."

"Then why should I go to all my lengths to help? All I need to do is change what I need to change, not help those things that don't matter. The task of saving the world can only be entrusted to you, not to me, or to my brother, or your fiancé, not to me. Do you understand? If you entrust all of this to me, then what are you going to do? Just watch the show? Watch me save this world, this universe, while you sit in your chairs and watch the show? Aren't you kidding me? This is a complete joke."

"You think I'll fight them to the death and save your world? You're just joking. Don't you think that makes sense? I think that's exactly right. You don't need to say anything to refute me. I'm already tired of hearing your rebuttals. They're meaningless. Really, your rebuttals are really meaningless to me. There's really nothing to say."

Empress Chi Yao's expression turned somewhat ugly upon hearing Fang Yu's words. Although Fang Yu's words were rather harsh, Empress Chi Yao also understood that, despite their unpleasantness, there was indeed such a possibility.

"Alright, now you should be saving the world, trying every possible way to save the world, instead of coming here to say these useless things. I also have many things to deal with and resolve, and I hope you can understand that a little and stop thinking about those unnecessary things. You can't go to the world I'm in, just like I said before, unless you're courting death, it's absolutely impossible. And if you die, then this world will have no hope left, I think you should understand that, I don't need to say more. I also hope you can understand all of this, stop thinking about those unnecessary things, those unnecessary things don't need to be thought about or asked. What you need to do now is save this world, save the entire universe, and what I need to do is protect myself as much as possible and then resolve those tragedies. Only when all those tragedies are resolved can I be at ease. I think you should understand that, and I hope you understand."

“I understand everything you’ve said, and I agree with you completely. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what you’ve said, and I know that what you’re saying is all for the good of the world. But the world really needs you. If you don’t want to save the world, please leave it. What do you think? Is that alright?”

"I will not leave this world. I've made it very clear. Leaving this world would bring me no benefit, nor would it. Therefore, I cannot leave, and I hope you understand this. So, there's no need for you to try to persuade me. No one can change my mind about this decision. You just need to do as I instruct, and the rest is none of your concern. As for me leaving, don't even think about it. I will absolutely not leave before I have done what I'm told. So, don't even consider it." "Alright, I've made myself clear. Go and save the world. Don't waste your time here. It's pointless and utterly useless. I hope you understand that."

"If that's the case, then I'll leave you in the meantime and won't bother you again in the future."

Empress Chi Yao sighed and ultimately decided to give up asking Fang Yu for help. She understood that no matter how much she pleaded, Fang Yu would not, and absolutely would not, help her again.

"Finally, she's gone. Finally, she's gone. Sigh, if she hadn't left, it would have been really troublesome. It's such a headache. If she hadn't left, I would have been helpless. I hope she'll keep her promise and stop bothering me. If she does, then I really won't be able to do anything at all, not even a little bit."

Watching Empress Chi Yao leave, Fang Yu finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. The current situation had far exceeded his expectations and thoughts. If things continued like this, he would probably be driven crazy by the trouble.

Fortunately, Empress Chi Yao was somewhat sensible and didn't do anything wrong, otherwise it would have been a huge problem—not just a little, but a very big one. After all, Empress Chi Yao is currently the most powerful person in the world, and if she really caused him trouble, dealing with her would be extremely difficult. Fortunately, Empress Chi Yao was wary of him and didn't intend to harm him; she just wanted his help. As for this matter, Fang Yu was truly powerless—completely powerless—and he had already made it very clear to them.

"Are you really unable to do it, or are you simply unwilling to help?"

“I really can’t do it, and I’m unwilling to help. That’s a fact. You don’t need to say anything more. I’ve made myself very clear.”

Looking at the bald man in front of him, Fang Yu knew that another guy had arrived, and this guy was none other than the old monk Xumi.

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly. It's quite a surprise that you arrived so soon after she left. But what you said is true; I will definitely help if I can, and I absolutely won't help if I can't. I hope you can believe me on this point and not think about things I can't do. Your world needs to be saved by yourselves, not by me. What can I do? I can only resolve those tragedies. Once those tragedies are resolved, everything will be fine. Those tragedies are absolutely something I must resolve, so I hope..." I hope you can understand and stop bothering me as I try to change those tragedies. This way, your reputation will improve significantly, and you won't have to worry about those messy things anymore. Don't you agree? I think that's exactly right. So, you need to understand what I'm saying. If you do it properly, you'll definitely succeed. You'll definitely be able to save the world. Don't worry, the world can definitely be saved. You can rest assured about that. I'm confident in these things. If I weren't confident, I wouldn't be saying so much. Don't you agree? So, just trust me.”

"So you're unwilling to help no matter what, right?"

"I can help, but only to prevent and change those tragedies. That's what I should be doing, not helping you do things that shouldn't happen. Don't you understand this?"

"My only goal is to change those tragedies. I have no other purpose. The task of saving the world is entrusted to you and my brother, not to me. I hope you can understand this. If you don't understand this, then pretend I never said anything."

“I understand what you’re saying. But you should know that without your help, we would face much bigger and more troublesome problems. With your help, things would be much easier.”

“I admit that with my help, the troubles you face would be much better, but there is a possibility that I don’t want to help you, because what I want to do is simply change those tragedies, and those tragedies are a kind of help in themselves. So in a way, I have even broken my promise and commitment not to help you, but now I am helping you.”

"Can't you help us one more time? Help us do better and make it more perfect?"

"That's certainly possible, but you need to understand one thing: I have neither the qualification nor the necessity, nor the obligation, to do so." (End of Chapter)
