"My master is indeed just one person, but he also represents most of us. We can't exactly invite every living being from the Ninth Heaven to this Qiongtian World to state their position, can we?" Fan Xiao was extraordinarily clever and immediately turned on Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng's old face flushed at that, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Young friend, don't be hasty. There are actually plenty of immortals being represented here. You are you, and others are others. It's anyone's guess whether they even want you to represent your master..."
"Haha, since you insist on twisting words, shall I twist words with you for once?!" Fan Xiao was laughing from sheer exasperation. I reached out to stop him, then said to Chen Zheng with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Chen, this debate is meaningless. What good will come of our arguing? This isn't something you can decide either. The fate of the Venerable Cauldron and your life are both beyond your control. You should wait until the person who can decide arrives, then discuss it with him."
"What? Immortal Venerable, what do you mean? Why is even my life beyond my own control?" Chen Zheng asked with a strange expression, apparently completely bewildered by my words.
"Isn't it simple? If our master obtains the Venerable Cauldron, then under his rule, the Genesis World will remain the Genesis World, and everyone will remain themselves. Naturally, you'll still be able to decide your own fate. But if you take this Venerable Cauldron away and actively move Qiongtian Jade and the Ninth Heaven elsewhere, that amounts to entrusting your lives to someone else! Then how will you decide your own fate? Whether you live or die will be up to the other party's whims. What will you be then? Nothing
