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

"Actually, those messy things weren't what I was thinking about, but rather what those seniors wanted—what those seniors had always wanted to obtain from my brother."

Zhang Ruochen's words made Fang Yu's eyelids twitch, and then he smiled and said...

"You're wrong. I can tell you, I've never possessed those things. I've thought about having them, but ultimately I lack the ability, the capacity, and the qualification. Those things aren't the kind of eternal existence we can only dream of. They're not things we can own. They require absolute power, or even those immortal beings can't obtain them. Although they're called immortal, they actually have a lifespan. They're not eternal; they'll die sooner or later. I can testify to that. I just hope they can live a little longer and solve some problems. If they can't, it just means they're utterly useless. If they had even the slightest bit of use, they wouldn't be so worthless, I think."

"Alright, go ahead and do your thing. You don't need to worry about my affairs or meddle in them. I can make my own decisions. Don't worry about the rest. Sometimes I don't know what to do either. Sometimes all I can say is, just do what needs to be done."

"But what I need to do now is persuade my brother to go back, and then agree to save this world and the universe. He can choose to save it if he wants, or not if he doesn't. However, this world still hopes for his intervention, because the price anyone else would have to pay to save it is far too high, a price they cannot afford. Frankly, these prices are truly shocking; I never imagined they would require such a heavy price. And only my brother can bear this burden. No one is more suitable than you. Therefore…"

"No, so you should go do your own thing instead of looking for me here. Honestly, there's really no need for you to come here to find me. You just need to do your own thing. Honestly, that's really important."

"Sometimes there's a lot to do, sometimes there's very little. Just do what you're supposed to do, and don't do those messy things. Doing those messy things is really not a good thing. There are many things you should be doing, not wasting time here. Thinking that I'll save the world is impossible, and it will never happen. I won't save the world. I've made it clear that it has nothing to do with me. Whether the beings in this world live or die is none of our concern. So please don't bother me with this anymore, because it's unnecessary. No matter how annoying you are, I won't agree. I know you're trying to force me to agree this way." Or rather, I understand if you want me to leave, but I will neither agree nor leave. That's a certainty. I don't want to waste any more words on you, really, I have absolutely no intention of wasting any time on you; it's completely pointless. Under these circumstances, I hope you'll use your brains. So, you have many things to do now, don't try to cause me trouble. If you continue like this, I might really lose my temper and kill you. Because if I kill you, then many things won't happen, and all the tragedies can be resolved once and for all. But then, this world will truly have no hope left. To be honest, this world truly has no hope left.”

"If you don't work harder, then you can forget about saving the world, because it's impossible. Look at all of you, none of you are trying to save the world, so what hope is there for it? If there's no hope, then don't even think about it."

"Isn't that the logic? I think that's the logic. Logically speaking, it must be this logic. If it's not, it won't work. Don't you think so? I think that's how it is. So, we don't need to think about those other random things. Everything has its rules. If those random things are right, they won't do us any good. We should just do what we should do step by step. Don't think about or care about other things."

"But I think your leaving, or rather saving the world, is the best choice. There is no better choice than this. Don't you understand that? You should know very well."

"That's right. I understand all of this perfectly well, I know all of this, and I'm aware of it all. But so what? No matter how much I understand, I can't change anything. I have things I must do, work I must do. So I can't keep messing around with you guys here. This isn't my responsibility, nor is it something I should be doing. So don't say anything, don't worry about anything. That's the right thing to do, instead of wasting your time trying to get me to save you. Don't you use your brains? Is this something I can't save you from? This is something I can't save at all; only you can save yourselves. What do you have to do with me? Absolutely nothing. Don't you agree? Since there's no connection, then don't think about it." You don't need to think about my affairs. You should focus on what you're supposed to do and stop worrying about other things. There's no time, absolutely no time, no time at all. There's nothing more to say, nothing that needs to be said. The world is so unfair and unbalanced. So, we should strive to do our best. You all better be well and keep going. Don't keep asking me to help you, because I can't. Even if I could, I wouldn't. I'm certain of that, because helping you wouldn't benefit me. On the contrary, if I didn't help you, we'd gain a lot, but nothing at all. Don't you think that makes sense? I think that's the truth. Don't think about anything else, just focus on these things. Don't worry about other nonsense.

“We understand what you’re saying, but it’s precisely because we understand that we want to change everything and hope to get your help. If we could get your help, none of us would have to worry about any danger anymore, and we could do what we want. And you would get what you want, wouldn’t you? Don’t you really want those things? Those things that originally belonged to you, don’t you really want them?” “Of course I want them, I want them more than anyone else. But I completely disagree with your behavior and approach because it doesn’t benefit me much. The benefit you mentioned is based on my ability to achieve it, but unfortunately, I can’t. In this situation, what am I supposed to do?”

"Since I can't do it anymore, then there's no need for me to think about those messy things anymore. What do those messy things have to do with me? They have nothing to do with me, absolutely nothing. To be honest, I really doubt if your head has been kicked by a donkey. Why is it that even though I'm explaining it so clearly, you still don't understand? Why is it that even though I'm explaining it so clearly, you still refuse to understand?"

“It’s not that I’m unwilling to understand, but I know you have to do it. It’s not that I’m forcing you, but that you have to do it.”

"So we hope to cooperate with you properly and avoid those misunderstandings, which really shouldn't exist."

“You’re right. Those misunderstandings shouldn’t exist. Why let them exist if they shouldn’t exist at all? Since that’s the case, then go and deal with those guys. Don’t think about me anymore. Don’t think about me anymore. It’s pointless. Those things really are pointless. They have absolutely no meaning.”

"Alright, alright, go do what you're supposed to do. Don't waste my time here. The longer you stay, the less you'll benefit. What you should be doing is improving your strength and finding a way to save the world. That's what you should be doing. You should be thinking about saving the world, not wasting your time here. Even if you waste a lot of time here, you won't get what you want, and I can't help you get what you want. I have principles. We've known each other for so long; you should understand that. Since you understand, then leave now. Don't bother me anymore. Even if you bother me a lot, it won't do any good, because I can't be influenced by anyone. Go on, don't think about anything else, things that don't belong to us. Don't daydream or think about what you can gain. You should be thinking about how to save the world, how you can save it. That's what you should be thinking about, not wasting your time here. Even if you waste a lot of time here, it won't be of any use, absolutely none."

"But I feel that only with you can we get what we want, and only with you can we save this world. This is what we should be doing, not wasting time. I don't mean wasting time at all. Only in this way can we get what we want and what we must get. So this is not just saying, but stating a fact. You should understand this."

"I know, I know, I know very well, and I understand perfectly. I understand all of this, and I comprehend it completely. I also know that I hope you can grow a little bit, just a little bit more, that's enough. If you grow too much, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. To be honest, you should grow a little bit of your brain. You absolutely must grow this much. If you don't, it's really a regrettable thing, truly. If you don't grow this much, the consequences will be very serious. You'll be a completely brainless person, and such a person doesn't need to live. I'm not joking, but stating a fact. You don't need to live if you really don't have a brain. Therefore, I hope you can grow your brain more and stop thinking about those things." Bad things, those bad things have nothing to do with you. Just do your own thing. What does the rest have to do with you? Absolutely nothing. Not even the slightest bit. As long as you can do it, that's enough. And what you want is to save the world, right? Then go and save it. That's what you should do, that's your mission. Don't expect others to take on that responsibility for you, and don't expect others to take on that responsibility for you. That's impossible. Nobody's going to be stupid enough to take on that responsibility for you. Don't think you can show off or humiliate me. That's impossible. That will never happen. I hope you understand, and I hope you understand this point. Don't think about those unrealistic things; those unrealistic things have nothing to do with you.

“I know I have to save the world, but I still hope my brother can help me. If my brother can do this, then my brother will definitely get what you want. Isn’t that a very good thing? There is nothing better than this. Don’t you understand?”

"Of course I understand. It's a good thing, a very good thing, but so what? I don't agree with this kind of thing. Just do what you're supposed to do, which is to save the world, not to think I'll save the world for you. That's impossible, absolutely impossible. If it were possible, I would have done it long ago. Unfortunately, it's impossible. I just hope you can use your brain a little and do this properly, instead of doing something like those old fogies who can't do it at all. Because they all have pig brains." (End of Chapter)
