Chapter 1917: Chapter 1913: Contradiction in the Ancient Order
Chang Yi seemed unafraid that Ye Fan would kill her. With immense confidence on her face, she said, "Ye Fan, if you don’t go, that woman beside you will die, and it will be you who sends her to her death with your own hands. I’d really love to see this result. In my opinion, it is simply too beautiful and moving. It would be best if you killed me now, so I could be free and still watch you fall into agony. Haha, so interesting..."
At this moment, Chang Yi seemed to have lost her true nature. She understood that her own safety had been completely stripped away by Nuwa and Ye Fan.
Following Nuwa’s orders would mean Ye Fan would kill her, and listening to Ye Fan meant Nuwa would kill her. In any case, she was caught in a dilemma with no room for resistance.
Ye Fan did not kill Chang Yi, because, in Ye Fan’s view, although Chang Yi was unforgivable, it wasn’t to the point of deserving death. The one who truly deserved to die was Nuwa, but unfortunately, he did not yet have the power to defeat Nuwa.
"Are you saying that the person you kidnapped, Mo Xiaoyan, has already fallen into Nuwa’s hands?" Ye Fan asked.
Chang Yi laughed, "Not only that little girl Mo Xiaoyan but everyone on Earth. Nuwa’s play can destroy everything you protect at any time. By then, you will be all alone, and she wants to see how you save the heavenly tribulation. Ye Fan, give up. You are no match for Nuwa. You can only surrender yourself, or obediently face death, for Nuwa to spare you!"
Ye Fan sneered, "You are overestimating yourself, just like Nuwa. Do you think you can control me this way? You are gravely mistaken. Let me show you my true power!"
Saying that, Ye Fan directly released Chang Yi, continuing to threaten her with the Spiritual Energy in his hand, saying, "Tell me, where is Nuwa now? I want to join her in this play. I want to see how long she can stay arrogant!"
"You’ve finally realized. Going to meet Nuwa is actually watching her destroy everything. So why bother? Pan Gu and Fu Xi are very powerful, and so is Nuwa, with the power of the heavenly tribulation even more so. These forces are not something you can challenge. With your ability, you can’t even protect the people around you, so why think about protecting all living beings? Ye Fan, I think you don’t deserve such power at all. You’d better recognize your abilities and face death sooner!"
At this point, Chang Yi didn’t seem to want to continue conveying Nuwa’s messages but instead wanted to see a showdown between Nuwa and Ye Fan, hoping for a disastrous end for both.
Ye Fan also realized this. He felt that Chang Yi’s words were not completely trustworthy, and now he had to use some means to make Chang Yi understand that targeting him would result in death.
Ye Fan used a force to directly bind Chang Yi’s body, putting her completely into a coma.
"No one has ever dared to provoke my emotions for their gain. You, Chang Yi, are someone I helped, and now you’re trying to harm me. It is your overestimation of yourself. I’m not killing you now, not because I am merciful. If I choose to kill you, it will definitely be without mercy!"
After saying that, Ye Fan left Chang Yi at the ancient ruins on Earth and departed Earth himself. He had to find Nuwa. In his view, he should be able to successfully find Nuwa and make her realize the consequences of offending him. Even if he doesn’t yet have the ability to kill Nuwa, at least he won’t allow Nuwa to continue endangering those around him.
...
...
Within Pan Gu’s secret realm, Pan Gu and Fu Xi had always been present.
Previously, Ye Fan returned to the secret realm. With Ye Fan’s cultivation level, he was unable to detect the most powerful cultivators among these Ancient Times cultivators, so he didn’t find out that the two of them were actually around the Sea of Death.
"...That’s how it is. Nuwa has now actively challenged Ye Fan. It seems Nuwa can’t wait to remove Ye Fan. She no longer cares about the rules you established. Should you kill Nuwa to utterly strip her of any resistance, leaving only two supreme powers among the Ancient Venerable and removing Nuwa’s name?" Fu Xi asked.
Pan Gu looked at Fu Xi and asked, "Are you willing?"
"Is this a matter of willingness? She was once my woman, but we were merely cultivation partners, which is different from human companions. She wouldn’t continue my lineage, as she was passionate about creating humans herself. She possessed the ability to create living beings. Such a woman is inherently dangerous. Why should I be unwilling to let her go?" Fu Xi asked.
Pan Gu shook his head, saying, "But everything she does is for you. She’s helping you obtain what you want. Can you honestly say that from the start you’ve never coveted the title of Ancient Venerable, always resigned to take a back seat, and endlessly work by my side, disregarding even your own affairs?"
This question made Fu Xi freeze. Fu Xi said, "Even now, you suspect I intend to oppose you?"
"It’s not that you intend to oppose me. It’s that I know you will reach this point. Maybe it’s to help Nuwa or to help all beings, but in your heart, you do not support my methods of preserving the order of living beings. Perhaps you consider Nuwa’s proposed method of world destruction a good one as well, but you also won’t listen to Nuwa because there are fundamental contradictions between us in many matters. Everything Nuwa has done over the years has been to help you... If that’s true and you still intend to kill her, then I think you, as a husband, have no sense of responsibility at all," Pan Gu looked at Fu Xi and said, "A man without a sense of responsibility, why should I trust you completely?"
Fu Xi sneered, "I never thought an unknown heavenly tribulation could alter the order of the Ancient Times cultivators so significantly. If it weren’t for my certainty that you are indeed here, I might truly doubt that you are an avatar, not the true form, because the Pan Gu of Ancient Times, unselfish and just, no longer exists. The current Pan Gu is carrying extreme selfishness, even going so far as to doubt the most trusted ones for your own benefit... Your actions make me feel disheartened!"
"Is that so? Then continue to feel disheartened. If I intended to kill you, would you be even more disheartened?" Pan Gu asked.
"Would you kill me?" Fu Xi scrutinized Pan Gu, finding it even more unbelievable.
Pan Gu raised his hand, but in the end, he put it down, saying, "Go ahead, go to Nuwa. If you want to save Ye Fan, then go save him, or if you want to stop everything, there’s still time. Nuwa is beyond saving now. I don’t have any other schemes for you now, just as long as you stay on the right path, I will still regard you as a friend, otherwise... you and I will be enemies."
