Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2893

Herbert seemed to be able to read Wilbur's mind and said, "Mister Penn, please remember that the dimensional guardians are without emotions. They suppress their own will to serve the will of the universe dimension. Everything they do is an inevitable part of the universe dimension's operation. This means they won't give special consideration to you or me because of their emotions. I understand this is harsh, and I know your dream is to go back in time to prevent a disaster, Mister Penn. But to be blunt, it's almost impossible. Serving a dimensional guardian is like serving the will of the universe dimension itself. How could the will of the universe dimension, which is predetermined, be easily changed? Thus, becoming a servant of a dimensional guardian only serves to erase a cultivator's emotions and will, turning them into a servant of the dimension's will, and ultimately, enslaving them."

…

Wilbur kept contemplating what Herbert said on the way back. If what Herbert said was true, then even if Wilbur became a servant of a dimensional guardian, he would not be able to fulfill his wish and would face greater dangers.

Therefore, Wilbur felt deep disappointment and regret. If he could not go back and change the outcome of past events, then everything he was doing would be meaningless.

Heaton saw Wilbur return looking haggard on the snowy mountain. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Did you fail the test today?"

Wilbur shook his head and repeated what Herbert said. Heaton asked after listening to him, "If that's the case, why did he insist, but try to make you give up? If dimensional guardians are truly so cold, why do so many people still want to become their servants?"

The question knocked some sense into Wilbur. 'True. If dimensional guardians are as Herbert described, then why did he not choose to withdraw himself but rather wished for others to do so?' he wondered.

It became clear that Herbert only wanted to reduce the number of competitors and was not trying to help Wilbur. Wilbur felt relieved once he understood that.
