Chapter 877
Chapter 877
"If you don't want to be a mortal and want to become a cultivator, then you need to work hard and prove yourself through your efforts. You're not just a mortal. I've already given you the cultivation method. Whether you're willing to cultivate it or not is up to you. And whether your cultivation is effective depends on your own ability. Anyway, I've given you everything I could. I just want to see if you can succeed. If you succeed, it will prove that everything I guessed was possible. If you fail, it will prove that everything I guessed was impossible. That would be a regrettable thing, and I would be quite regretful too. But it's okay. After all, there's always a chance to start over. This is normal for me. I'm used to it. It's nothing. Everything can start over. Everything can start over. Everything can start from the beginning. Starting over is a good thing for all of us. It's a great thing. No matter what you think, that's what I think. What you think has nothing to do with me."
"Everything has to start from scratch, it has to be a fresh start. That's what makes life interesting. Before, you could be considered a powerful and influential figure. Now, you're just an ordinary mortal who wants to become a cultivator."
"In a way, it's like starting all over again. To be honest, it's a really good thing, and I completely agree with it. It's really a good thing, there's nothing wrong with it, and I hope you can understand all of this. If you don't understand, then you shouldn't be living, but I believe you definitely can understand. As long as you can understand, then your future will have opportunities. If you can't understand, then your future will be dark, and you'll never find your way."
"I can't tell you how difficult or challenging this path is, but there's one thing I hope you understand: don't think you're the same type of person as me. That's impossible. If it were possible, you might as well just wait to die."
“I understand all that you’re saying, but why should I believe you? I could believe what you said before, but what you said later is really hard to believe.”
Mo Juren's words made Fang Yu laugh, and then he slowly continued...
"Because to me, you're nothing but a dead man, nothing but a man on the verge of death, do you understand? I'm only telling you this because I think you still have a tiny bit of interest, a sliver of value. If you didn't have even that tiny bit of value, do you think I would be telling you this? Absolutely not. I wouldn't be here talking so much to a mortal like you. It's completely impossible, do you understand? If you don't believe me, then you're overthinking it. If you do believe me, then anything is possible. I hope you understand all of this. If you don't understand, then there's really nothing more to say."
"I am well aware of what you are saying, but there are some things we really need to clarify."
Mo Juren's words made Fang Yu burst into laughter.
"What are you saying? You're saying you want to explain things to me clearly? Do you think you have the right? Are you worthy? To explain things clearly, you're the one who needs to do it. I'm on equal footing with you, but do you have the right to be on equal footing with me? You have absolutely no right. Do you know that you don't have even the slightest right? You want to be on equal footing with me? Who do you think you are? You have no right at all."
"Not to mention who you are now, even who you were in the past didn't have this right, let alone who you are now."
"To me, you are nothing but an ant. You have no right or ability whatsoever to say to me, no ability whatsoever to have a proper discussion with me. Think about it carefully, is that even possible? Absolutely not. If there were even the slightest possibility, you wouldn't have ended up like this. This is what you have to face now, everything you have to face. You are just an experiment, a pawn in my game. My idea is to make good use of this pawn. If I don't make good use of it, it will prove that everything I did before was a joke, and I didn't need any of it."
"So this is all you need to do now. You are merely a pawn in my hands, a pure and simple pawn. So don't expect to gain any benefits from me. What I can give you, I will naturally give you. If I don't give you anything, don't try to force anything. You don't have the qualifications or the ability. Don't think that being used by me is a bad thing, just as it isn't a good thing. You need to understand this. Being used by me will bring you benefits, but it requires my charity and my pity. Most importantly, and this is what you must do, is to provide me with sufficient value. If you can't provide enough value, then no matter how much you say, it will be useless. Because at that time, you will just be a piece of trash. I want to ask, how did you deal with such useless trash in the past? Did you give them a sum of money, let them go back to their hometown to settle down, get married, have children, and then let the children continue to serve you when they grow up?"
"Do you think it's possible? Even if you say it's possible, do you think I'd believe it? I would never believe it. What are you thinking? Actually, I know. You don't need to pretend to be compassionate here, or try to be a good person. It's impossible. You're not a good person, and I'm not a good person. We've never been good people from the beginning."
"Good people don't exist for us, and you should know that better than I do."
"You've lived in this world for so long, you should know very well what you need to do and what you must do. Don't think you can be a good person. Being a good person doesn't belong to you or anyone else."
"What can you do? All you can do is obediently be my pawn and do as I say. Only in this way can you continue to live. Otherwise, you will only face death. It's not that I'm too cruel, but it's the truth. There's nothing I can do about it. How can I protect someone who has no value? I simply cannot protect him because he has no value. If he had even the slightest value, I could protect him."
"But unfortunately, he has no use to me, so what you have to do is prove to me that you have use to me. Only in this way will I protect you. Only in this way can you continue to live, and only in this way can you continue to make me feel that you are useful."
"All of this you've said is just an attempt to use me,"
Mo Juren gave a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless.
"You're right, you're absolutely right, you're completely correct. There's no oversight, no omission, no problem whatsoever. I admit all of that. What you said is flawless, without the slightest problem whatsoever. I love your intelligence, and it's precisely because you're so clever that I've been able to utilize you until now. It's because of your intelligence that I've been able to use you until now." "If it weren't for that, how could you have survived until now? If you weren't so clever, I wouldn't have allowed you to live at all, let alone talked to you so much. Your value has been demonstrated, and you know your value. So maximize your value; that's what will allow you to live. Only by maximizing your value can you continue to live. If you have no value, then you're truly doomed; there's absolutely no way you can survive."
"It's not that I'm not kind enough, nor that I'm too cruel, but it's really unbearable to exist without any value to others."
"If you have no use to me, then don't say any of that nonsense. It's all useless. Playing the victim is also completely useless, absolutely useless."
"And I also believe that you would never pretend to be pitiful. I'm absolutely certain of that. If you were going to pretend to be pitiful, you would have done it long ago, countless times. But I know you definitely won't continue to pretend. I'm sure of that, and I have enough ability to prove that you're not that kind of person."
"Alright, I know what you're going to do next, and you know it too. You don't need to argue here; it's pointless. You don't need to say anything bad either; it's pointless."
"I will give you as many benefits as I can, and you must do your best to do what you can for me. If you can't, then you will be of no use to me, and your life will be over. This is not because I am cruel or cold-blooded, but because it is the truth. To be honest, I really don't want to fall out with you here, but I can't help it. You are just too stupid, really too stupid, extremely stupid."
"I hope you understand."
"Of course I understand everything you're saying, and I'm clear about everything you're saying, but what my value is is for me to determine, not for you to decide."
As soon as Mo Juren finished speaking, Fang Yu slapped him across the face, sending Mo Juren flying again.
"Why can't you understand what I'm saying? Your usefulness isn't determined by you, it's determined by me. What do you mean by all that? It's all worthless, completely useless."
"If you have any value, then you should have made good use of your value long ago. If you have no value, then shut your mouth and stop thinking about those irrelevant things, and don't think that everything you do is useful. The end result of everything you do is that you will die, and you will die a terrible death, a really terrible death. Absolutely terrible, just too terrible."
"I can't even describe how miserable you are. It's truly horrific, inhumanely miserable. Sigh, your life is really bad, absolutely terrible, utterly awful. But I have to say, you're quite capable. If it weren't for that, you probably wouldn't be alive now. It's precisely because of your current abilities that you've survived until now. I have to say, you're quite useful, at least for now."
"I just hope you can continue to be useful and not do anything that will render you useless. If you are truly useless, then you are not far from death, and I cannot keep you here. Why would I keep you if you are useless? You agree, right? Really, you are completely useless now, not even the slightest bit."
"That's life, you should know that. Don't say anything bad, because bad things will happen. You should understand that. Sigh, it's really so painful, it's extremely painful. Okay, I'm just pretending, you don't need to pay attention to anything, just do as I say."
“You can stand up now. Stop pretending. No matter how much you pretend, it's useless, at least to me. Absolutely useless, not even a tiny bit. I just hope you can stay alive a little and not do anything foolish. At least you're still useful to me, not completely useless. That's a good thing, isn't it?”
"What the senior said is right, what the senior said is very right."
"Don't be like that. If you keep doing that, it'll only make me seem like a bad person. I am a bad person, so no matter how much you pretend, it won't help. I've never been a good person, right? As long as you're alive and well, there's naturally no problem. But you're about to die. Since you're about to die, don't think about bad things. Especially things related to me. It's best not to think about them; it's not good for you." (End of Chapter)
