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

"You should know very well that the most important thing right now is to get rid of you, or to make you the savior of this world, to save this world, or even the entire universe."

The Empress's words gave Fang Yu a headache, because they were truly perplexing. However, he had to admit that there was some merit to them. But Fang Yu had no intention of doing such a thing right now, so how could he possibly do it? He wasn't stupid.

"Your Majesty, I think you've lost your mind. I've made myself perfectly clear: I cannot agree to this. How severe would the consequences be if I did? I think you understand perfectly well that you merely want to find a powerful tool or machine to exploit. You have no interest in me whatsoever. You don't genuinely want me to be your savior; that's impossible. I understand your thoughts and your intentions. I know all of this, and therefore, I cannot agree." "You don't need to waste your time and energy anymore. If I agree to these things, wouldn't I be being used by you? Don't bother with your sweet talk; it's completely useless to me, utterly meaningless. Those sweet words are commonplace to me, utterly pointless. No matter how much you say, no matter how well you speak, I will absolutely not agree, unless I've lost my mind—and it'll be split in two. Under these circumstances, if I still agree, wouldn't you think I'm incredibly easy to fool?"

Fang Yu's words made Her Majesty the Empress laugh, and this was the first time Fang Yu had ever seen Her Majesty the Empress laugh.

"You should know very well that I have no such intention; this is just your excuse for not agreeing."

"I just don't want to be a tool to be used. Don't say that I'm only used because I have enough value to be used. Many people want to be used but don't even have the right to be. I have the right and I'm even getting your help. I understand all of this. I've used others to save the world before, but now I don't want to use others anymore. I just want to be myself. You should understand that too. Stop thinking about those messy things. Those messy things have nothing to do with you. They really have nothing to do with you. The only thing that matters is me. If you don't agree, then I really have no choice. I won't agree to your conditions either. It's completely impossible for me to be used by you. I have my principles. My principle is that I can't agree to such harsh conditions. Such harsh conditions simply cannot be agreed to."

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go back to what you should be doing, instead of wasting your time with me. No matter how much time you waste with me, it won't change anything. Your original plan still has a chance of saving the world, but if you waste too much energy and time on me, then that last hope and possibility will vanish. You should understand that. So, don't waste too much time on me. It won't do you any good or benefit, only endless disaster and sorrow. These are the truths you need to understand. If you don't even understand these things, then I can only say that you've got your head squeezed in a door. This is not an insult."

"This is purely a well-intentioned reminder, and I hope you can become more rational and stop being so stubborn. It's not good for you, really, it's not good at all, it's completely useless. I hope you can understand this, stop thinking about those messy things, stop doing those messy things. Those things really shouldn't belong to you, really. The harm those things bring is far beyond your imagination, you can't even imagine it, you can't imagine how hateful and terrible those things are, it's completely beyond your expectations and imagination."

"You don't need to say anything more here. I understand what you're saying, but if we can persuade you to go back, our chances of winning will be much greater and more complete, and our odds of winning will increase significantly while our losses will be much smaller. You should be very clear about this, so we're determined to persuade you to go back no matter what. That's what we should be doing. Really, we're not ignorant. We know a lot and we understand that you can greatly reduce our losses. Only you can do that. No one else can. We understand all of this and hope that you can help us."

Her Majesty the Empress's tone softened considerably, but even so, Fang Yu remained unmoved.

"Then I can only say one thing: you've come to the wrong person. You shouldn't be looking for me; you should be looking for your lover. It's pointless for you to come to me. I can't possibly agree to such harsh conditions. I don't want to be a machine to be used. I've made that very clear to you. You can talk to other people and tell them not to come to me anymore. Coming to me is completely useless, utterly useless. Think things through before making a decision. Don't come to me without thinking things through; it won't do them any good, not even the slightest bit." Think things through before you act. Don't do anything foolish; it will only make them look incredibly stupid, extremely stupid. I don't want such foolish subordinates. If they insist on being that stupid, then I'll have no choice but to slaughter them all. After all, I'm quite familiar with killing animals; I've killed far too many. Those were all those who disobeyed my orders, not a single one of them was good. Since they disobeyed my orders and were not good people, then naturally I won't let them go. I will naturally eradicate evil completely, cut the weeds and remove the roots, uproot them, cut them into a thousand pieces, and finally, destroy the evidence. These are all things that must be done, and must be done well. Don't you agree? Isn't that right?"

"Honestly, there's nothing to say between us. This is the truth, and you should know that perfectly well. There's no need for this pretense. It won't do you or anyone behind you any good. I just hope they stop bothering me. I hope you can take my words back verbatim. That way, I think they'll know what to do and stop doing things that give me a headache. There's really nothing to say about this, nothing to compare, it's meaningless and worthless, it's just incredibly frustrating. They've crossed my bottom line time and time again, causing me endless headaches. This has really angered me. If I get angry, what will the consequences be? I think you understand without me having to say more. So I won't waste my breath here. I just hope you understand this principle. The rest is up to you; it has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty, just take everything I've said back with you. The rest is none of your concern." "I know all this, and I understand what you mean. But sometimes things aren't as simple as you think. Sometimes the issues involved are far beyond your imagination. You should understand that, so I don't need to say anything more, right? Since that's the case, how about you listen to us? Just like you want us to listen to you, to be honest, you might have more experience than us in this area, but we have just as much experience. We also want to save this world, to save this universe. You should understand that, right?"

"Of course I understand all of this. It's precisely because I understand that I've been able to tolerate it until now. If it weren't for my tolerance, do you think you would still be wasting your time talking to me here? That's completely impossible, and I wouldn't allow it to happen. I think you understand this very well, so I don't need to say anything more, right? Since I don't need to say anything more, then just obediently do as I say. Don't think about those things that are meaningless or worthless. You should understand that too. So just do what you need to do and stop thinking about those bad things. There's really nothing to say about those bad things. There's really nothing to say about them, and I don't want to talk about them. Those things are too time-consuming and energy-draining, causing endless sorrow and sadness. Endless sorrow and sadness are not good things, and I don't want to face them anymore. Those things are harmful and have an impact on me. Facing too much of them is not a good thing, and you should understand that too well."

“Your Majesty, I hope you can understand what I am facing now. These are things I really need to confront, and sometimes I need to explain things clearly. But if I encounter a bunch of fools, even if I want to explain things clearly, I'm afraid I won't have the ability or the opportunity.”

Fang Yu's words made Her Majesty the Empress laugh, and then she continued:
"The idiots you're talking about are actually me, right? The idiots you're talking about are actually me, aren't they?"

"You're overthinking it. You're really overthinking it. How could that be? How could I possibly insult Her Majesty the Queen? That's absolutely impossible. How could it be? Unless I've lost my mind, how could I possibly do such a thing? As long as I haven't lost my mind, I would never do such a thing. You can rest assured, I would never do such a thing even if you killed me. Since you have someone as good as me, you should believe that such a thing is absolutely impossible. Since it's impossible, then don't think about it."

"Okay, I understand what you're trying to say, but we really need your help, we really, really need your help. I think you should understand that. Don't do anything bad, and I hope you can think it over carefully and stop refusing. It won't benefit either of us, and you should know that very well."

“Yes, yes, that’s exactly it. But I can only continue to refuse because I really have no mood to deal with these things. These things have never meant anything to me, nor have they had any value. If I continue to meddle, it will only affect me, and I don’t want to be affected like that. So I hope you won’t make things so difficult for me anymore. Your Majesty, just take what I have to say to them. I will handle the rest myself. If they bother me again, I will make them regret it. It’s not a difficult thing for me.”

"That's right, it's certainly not a difficult thing for you, but I also hope you can think about it carefully and seriously, and not think about those messy things. Those messy things probably won't do you any good, right?"

"There's no benefit in this. This isn't your business; it's my responsibility, not yours. Understand? If you insist on interfering, then there's nothing I can do. I just hope you're doing well. After all, the world can't do without you. Losing you would be far more serious than losing me. The world can live without anyone else, but it can't live without you. If you were gone, the world would truly have no hope whatsoever. This isn't a joke, and I think you understand that. It's not a joke, not something I'm saying lightly. It's a genuine inability to live without you. You should understand that. Don't ask me why; it's the truth. You understand, I understand, everyone understands. I just hope you're doing well and stop thinking about things that don't belong to you. For example, I don't belong to you. Don't think about it. It's not good for anyone; it's bad for everyone. In this situation, everyone should be happy, not fighting and scrambling like this. It's completely meaningless." (End of Chapter)
