Chapter 1897: Chapter 1893: Seeing Through Everything
The prophecy even feared by Pan Gu made Fu Xi unable to comprehend it. He closed his eyes and imagined for a moment: what the chaos of the universe and all things were like before he and Pan Gu were born, no one knew.
"If Ye Fan poses a threat to us, we either have to kill him or subdue him. There’s no third path to take, is there?" Fu Xi wanted to confirm for the last time. He wanted to know Pan Gu’s answer.
Pan Gu shook his head slightly and said, "As for Ye Fan’s ultimate fate, maybe it should be proven by ancient prophecies. Actually, our existence is also dictated by ancient prophecies. Whether this destiny truly exists, you and I may have different opinions. But humans absolutely do not want to have their fate arranged, and that is the biggest difference between Ye Fan and me!"
Fu Xi said, "In the ancient prophecy, how long until the Heavenly Tribulation arrives? Was the last Heavenly Tribulation something you foresaw?"
Pan Gu sneered lightly and said, "You might think that I can predict everything, but actually, I am just a living being unable to struggle against the universe and all things. I have my own life, and you are the same. We cannot change the fate of the universe and all things. Now there is only one result, and that is to completely change the prejudice of the secular world towards us ancient powers. I want Ye Fan to ultimately submit to us, although it seems unlikely! The Heavenly Tribulation should arrive in no time, and the power that awakens us is probably the force brought by the nearing tribulation!"
Fu Xi shook his head and said, "I still don’t understand what you mean, Pan Gu!"
"The Heavenly Tribulation could arrive at any moment now, and the Pan Gu secret realm could collapse at any time. Perhaps I will create another Pan Gu secret realm, perhaps there will be another Heavenly Tribulation. As for the specific circumstances, we will have to wait until this Heavenly Tribulation ends!" Pan Gu said, "The last Heavenly Tribulation caused countless ancient cultivators to fall, and this Heavenly Tribulation may not be an exception. The power of this Heavenly Tribulation might exceed the sum of several previous ones... In our life, we have only experienced one Heavenly Tribulation, yet how many there have been in the creation of the universe, you and I do not know, do we?"
Fu Xi thought for a moment and finally nodded, agreeing with Pan Gu’s words.
Perhaps before they were born, the universe had already encountered many Heavenly Tribulations, but these did not destroy life but instead created the source of ancient cultivators’ power.
"We do not know why we are born, nor why we will die, so the outcome we face is simply to follow destiny. Although you call yourself a god because you can control and harness everything, I know I do not have the power to bear it all. We can only wait for a long life to change things; after tens of thousands or even billions of years, everything will return to the starting point..."
After Pan Gu said this, his body disappeared from the earth. Fu Xi did not know where Pan Gu went, but he could feel Pan Gu should be doing something beneficial to save the Heavenly Tribulation, although he couldn’t guess what it might be.
"Perhaps, as Pan Gu said, our ultimate fate is also to turn into dust, our inner power returning to the cosmos and the world. Even if we can grasp the entire universe’s energy, we cannot surpass the boundaries of its power because we are ultimately just products of this universe! The one who first understood all this has always been Pan Gu..."
When Fu Xi finished speaking, his own body also began to disappear. He too had many things to do, but he wasn’t going to save the Heavenly Tribulation; he was going to find Nuwa. He hoped to gain Nuwa’s support, not to oppose Pan Gu in re-establishing any order, but to help Nuwa see the current reality and join him in completing some tasks...

Ye Fan was meditating in cultivation, and no one could disturb him.
Anyone who approached within five meters of his body would be bounced away, even Master Ming Ye was no exception.
"What is he doing? He’s been cultivating all this time, yet ultimately to no effect. All those ancient powers came, why did none kill him? Or are those ancient powers just his fabrications?" Song Mei asked Master Ming Ye.
Master Ming Ye cast a cold glance at Song Mei and said, "If you think everything about Ye Fan is fabricated, why do you still listen to him and help him do things?"
Song Mei said, "I want to help our Great Cold Sect!"
"Your Great Cold Sect? How ridiculous, the Great Cold Sect shouldn’t even exist anymore. In the cosmic order, only heavenly fate should exist. Your sect’s catalytic cultivation method hasn’t even nurtured a single cultivator, which defies heavenly fate. Why should your Great Cold Sect continue to exist?" Master Ming Ye said bluntly.
Song Mei was about to argue with Master Ming Ye, but Bing Xuan beside her said, "Master, there’s no point in talking to this woman. She has a high cultivation, and arguing with her will bring no benefits!"
Master Ming Ye said, "I see your disciple has more insight than you. As a Sect Master, you have no place in the cultivation world... If you truly enter the Pan Gu secret realm, you’ll realize the cultivation level of the people there. In the entire cultivation world, everyone should aim for cultivation, not like you, whose cultivation ends in extinction..."
Song Mei didn’t say much more, but at this moment, Ye Fan suddenly stood up, saying, "Come with me to the Great Cold Sect!"
"What are you going to the Great Cold Sect for?" Master Ming Ye asked, "You know perfectly well it’s a trivial sect!"
Ye Fan replied, "I believe I’ve been used by someone from the beginning, and that person is Song Mei’s master, the former Sect Master of the Great Cold Sect. With her level of cultivation, she wouldn’t be able to enter and leave the Pan Gu secret realm, so how could she know of my existence? This catalytic cultivation method might have been a trap to lure me into a snare from the start!"
Master Ming Ye was momentarily surprised. She hadn’t understood Ye Fan’s logic yet, but by then, Ye Fan was already enveloping them in a force, rapidly heading towards the time-space rift where the Great Cold Sect was located, somewhere in the Zuo Domain star system.
On the way, Song Mei loudly reprimanded, "Ye Fan, don’t attack my master, you don’t have the right!"
Ye Fan said, "It’s your master who deceived me. She likely has been driven by dark forces. I believe your Great Cold Sect is now completely non-existent. Besides you three disciples who escaped, I fear everyone else has vanished, not even a trace remaining!"
"Ah?" Song Mei was speechless upon hearing this.
