Chapter 1896: Chapter 1892: Fight to the Death
Ye Fan stood facing Fu Xi, as Fu Xi could kill Ye Fan at any moment, Ye Fan had to be wary of this, he must ensure his own safety as much as possible.
Fu Xi said, "Human, there’s no need for you to be wary of me, because I won’t kill you. Killing you is not a good choice. I want you to ensure that your life can be passed down in the future, to save the heavenly calamity... Even though you’re not the chosen one, you have a great connection with saving the heavenly calamity!"
"Why do you all say that? Is my existence solely for the purpose of saving the heavenly calamity?" Ye Fan said.
"Yes!" Fu Xi said, "The order of ancient cultivators dictates that ordinary beings cannot be killed, but if someone like you threatens the status of ancient cultivators, it’s not uncommon for them to be killed. Killing you is easy. If you don’t want to die, you can only follow the order of ancient cultivators and complete the salvation of the heavenly calamity. Then you will be conferred a status and identity equal to that of ancient cultivators, and you will merge into their order. You will gain the qualification not to be killed by others!"
Ye Fan shook his head and said, "I won’t merge into your so-called order; I want to create an order of my own!"
"Think whatever you like. If you complete the salvation of the heavenly calamity... I believe you will do it because you carry a sense of mission as a human! When the salvation of the heavenly calamity is completed, your actions will not be sheltered by the order of ancient cultivators, then whether you seek death or continue down your self-important path, that’s your affair. The Nuwa whom you fear may kill you, and ancient cultivators may rally against you. When you threaten me and Pan Gu, neither of us will spare you. This is the situation you currently face. I think you are wise enough not to stubbornly seek death, right?"
Fu Xi’s words were not intended to persuade Ye Fan but seemed to be a warning for Ye Fan to not act recklessly.
Ye Fan understood that now Pan Gu and Fu Xi had given him a way to survive, which was to allow him to join the family of ancient cultivators after completing the salvation of the heavenly calamity, thus granting him immunity from being killed.
Yet Ye Fan would not follow this advice because, in his view, his destiny should be in his own hands, not in those of these ancient cultivators, especially Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa.
Ye Fan said, "You don’t need to negotiate with me. My stance is firm, and I won’t agree with your suggestion. Either you kill me now, or wait a while, and I’ll personally kill you... It’s up to you ancient beings to decide the risk of leaving me alive! Let’s see!"
Ye Fan was ready to fight Fu Xi, even though he knew he had no chance of defeating Fu Xi.
Fu Xi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I was merely explaining your current situation to you, but since you don’t appreciate it, no one will force you. I’ll just consider killing you directly in some time or wait for you to enter the order of ancient cultivators... Goodbye, human, I hope you have good luck!"
After speaking, Fu Xi’s figure suddenly vanished without a trace in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan looked at Fu Xi’s shadow, his expression extremely stern. At this moment, Ye Fan once again considered the idea of destroying the entire order of ancient cultivation.
...
...
Pan Gu and Fu Xi left one after another, seemingly not leaving Earth. Ye Fan looked at the empty space in front of him, closed his eyes, and thought about his way forward.
Now he is determined to be enemies with these ancient beings. He must subdue them; in Ye Fan’s view, this is his last chance.
Ming Ye appeared behind Ye Fan, saying, "Ye Fan, you clearly don’t have to die, so why are you so determined to fight these three ancient beings? You can’t beat them; you’re sending yourself to death!"
Ye Fan looked at Ming Ye and said, "You also see me this way?"
"It’s not me seeing you this way, it’s you yourself already going astray. Let’s put it this way; I originally wanted to help you, but now it seems I can’t do anything for you! Perhaps from the beginning, I shouldn’t have met you, leading me to sink into this situation. Initially... I wanted to kill you to avenge my disciples and grand-disciples because the cultivation of Xuanyue Palace cannot end in my hands!" Ming Ye looked very distressed.
Ye Fan said, "I want to challenge the order of ancient cultivators. I want to kill Pan Gu and Fu Xi. Even if I can’t kill them, I want to make them submit to me, to control them in my way, making them fall back into slumber, or if they awaken, to be only my slaves! I absolutely won’t let them threaten my life anymore, nor the lives of those around me!"
"You’re very strong-willed, but you’re seeking your own death. I really don’t know how to advise you, but this is your own choice. Anyway, my life isn’t controlled by me at all; if I die, then I’ll be buried with you. Now human cultivators must resist ancient cultivators. Except for you, it seems no one has the ability to confront these ancient cultivators. I choose to help you, but that doesn’t mean I agree with your choice!" Although Ming Ye was speechless towards Ye Fan, she ultimately chose to stand on Ye Fan’s side, considering Ye Fan’s interests, to help him.
...
...
Fu Xi returned to Pan Gu, conveying Ye Fan’s overall intention. Pan Gu was still in the Earth’s most bustling city, watching the traffic flow with a sigh.
"Since he chooses not to stand with us, I won’t force him. After he saves the heavenly calamity... perhaps we really need to get rid of him!" Pan Gu said.
Fu Xi said, "Even you think it’s time to kill him and not allow him to continue behaving as he pleases?"
"Ah! What meaning is there in keeping this human? Actually, I have always understood Nuwa’s mindset before, but Nuwa also wants to recreate an order that’s unacceptable to me. Now, whoever disrupts this order is my enemy. I won’t allow it... Nuwa, perhaps I will seal her power so she’s no longer a threat to this order, but for a human... it seems there is only the path of killing him! I really don’t want to kill him!" Pan Gu said regretfully.
Fu Xi asked, "I’ve always been puzzled; why does this human have the ability to save the heavenly calamity? You have never explained this before!"
"He harbors a hidden power. It is an ancient prophecy, one even I do not know where the prophecy came from!" Pan Gu said.
