Chapter 1939: Chapter 1935: Different Paths, Same Destination
While Ye Fan was searching for mysterious power in the Pan Gu Mystical Realm, both Pan Gu and Fu Xi were watching everything closely.
However, Pan Gu did not use the Crystal Ball to sense what Ye Fan was doing; instead, he closed his eyes and used his mind to perceive everything happening around Ye Fan. Even the places Ye Fan passed could be clearly sensed by him, which was also the dangerous aspect that Ye Fan felt. Previously, Ye Fan had realized that it was difficult to hide his whereabouts from Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa.
Fu Xi asked from the side, "Do you know what this person is searching for? This matter has surely troubled you for a long time, hasn’t it?"
Pan Gu still had his eyes closed. He seemed to realize that it wasn’t going to be easy for Ye Fan to find this power. He said, "Ye Fan, this young man, although he’s quite young and supposedly has no great wisdom, I have found that he possesses a unique human logic. His way of thinking is more aggressive than ours. Even matters that seem intangible and elusive, he can expend so much energy to pursue. If it were me, I might not have done it. What about you?"
Fu Xi shook his head: "I don’t understand what human logic is, but I know that Ye Fan’s way of thinking isn’t particularly problematic. He now knows that he can’t resist the heavenly tribulations, nor can he resist us, so why not risk everything to challenge these powerful rules? If he can indeed succeed in the challenge, perhaps all order will be rewritten. I’m even somewhat looking forward to it."
Pan Gu scrutinized Fu Xi, saying, "What are you expecting? Do you want him to challenge our authority, suppress us, or even kill us, using human logic to solve issues? I think you haven’t realized the seriousness of the issue here. You should think more about how to deal with Ye Fan’s problem. I don’t want to end up being influenced by him and having the rules I established ruined."
"Then all I can say, Pan Gu, is that it’s almost impossible for you. What makes you think you can make Ye Fan submit to you and not interfere with the existence of order? If he can save the heavenly tribulations, perhaps his cultivation will surpass ours at that time. How will we suppress his cultivation to ensure he serves us?" Fu Xi asked.
Pan Gu thought for a moment, seemingly unable to resolve the current paradox. He sighed lightly, "Perhaps I thought things were too simple. Ultimately, we are trying to subdue an ordinary human, and many things about Ye Fan are beyond my understanding. So, let’s address this matter in the most basic way. I want Ye Fan to fully understand that only by submitting to me can he truly become the master of the universe. I will return to slumber again, as long as he is willing to stake his life under my name!"
Fu Xi said, "You are challenging human logic. Humans, as the lowest level of creators, only appeared in the end era and relied on the most primitive forces to cope with the complex and ever-changing natural environments. They, through their efforts, conquered land and sea, moving on to conquer planets and star systems. Do you think they will easily submit to you? Their resistance spirit is what made them who they are today; otherwise, everything would stagnate! What Ye Fan embodies is precisely this spirit of resistance. I think it would be difficult for you to control him. Instead of thinking about how to make him submit, why not think about how to win him over? This is the best way to solve the problem."
"You’ve changed." Pan Gu closed his eyes, saying, "You have been affected by many external emotions. Perhaps, since you woke up this time, you view things differently than before. I don’t know how much of this is because of Nuwa, but I dare say your heart harbors sympathy for Nuwa. You believe Nuwa now stands on your side, so you want to help Nuwa to fight against me, or perhaps even to seize my authority, right?"
Fu Xi chuckled coldly, "Pan Gu, if you want to make me your own enemy, then I can only say you’ve chosen the wrong person. If I were to challenge you, it certainly wouldn’t be today. The power I wield is enough to contend with you, but I admire you, so I’ve always trusted you and allowed you to guide the living beings and rules. But when it comes to the matter of Ye Fan, you’ve broken your consistent principles. This makes me feel that the reason why you established the rules was to maintain your own orthodox dominion, not for the stability of all beings. This has caused me to doubt your character."
Pan Gu said, "Fu Xi, you know, if someone else had said such words to me, I would have killed him. No one can question my authority."
"You can’t kill because that’s the rule you set yourself. What, do you want to use slaughter to maintain your authority? Are you trying to scare me or the people covered by the rules you’ve set? You should know, the reason why I am not opposing you now isn’t because your decisions are incredibly wise and correct, but because what you’re doing still largely aligns with basic principles. But if you break principles and kill Ye Fan, or intend to imprison him, or even to massacre ancient cultivators, then I certainly won’t stand by you. Of course, I won’t agree with Nuwa’s claims of destruction and rebirth, because all living beings formed naturally, and although we are not creators, we have the obligation to ensure the stability of all beings," Fu Xi said.
"I didn’t expect you to think this way." Pan Gu said.
"It’s disappointing to you, isn’t it? But that’s my true thoughts. I want to tell you, Pan Gu, that many of the things you’ve done are indeed correct, I’ve never denied that. I am willing to follow you because I know your power is sufficient to maintain the stability of all beings. If I go against you, it would go against the original intention of stability for all beings. Now I am not threatening you, just reminding you that if you have the original mindset, I will always be loyal to you," Fu Xi said.
Pan Gu seemed somewhat disappointed, saying, "You claim to be loyal to me, but I feel you are loyal to your own inner thoughts instead of complying with whatever I say. I’m not wrong, am I? If I want to kill someone now, you’d say I broke the rules. But as the ruler, isn’t it natural for me to decide who to kill?"
"It’s not. The person you want to kill can surpass you in destiny, yet is also the one who must save the heavenly tribulations and save yourself. You say someone like this should die, but I don’t believe it. If you were to kill a couple of insignificant people, I would be merely disappointed, and it wouldn’t bring us to the point of parting ways!" Fu Xi said fiercely.
