Chapter 1943: Chapter 1939: Let Him Go for Now
Ye Fan faced two powerful adversaries at the same time—Fu Xi and Nuwa. It seemed now that Fu Xi might not intend to kill him, but Nuwa had already made up her mind to do so. Fu Xi’s attitude was decisive for the outcome of this battle.
Ye Fan knew that with his own strength, he might have a slim chance against Nuwa. However, if faced with both Fu Xi and Nuwa together, he would have no chance of victory.
"Ye Fan, you should just give up," said Fu Xi. "No one is here to lend you their life. If you can leave here, you might have a better outcome instead of waiting here to die. If you’re bent on being stubborn, then you’re seeking your own death, and I won’t interfere with Nuwa."
Nuwa said, "Fu Xi, I hope you’ll stand by your words. I want to kill this unwise human, and you’d better not stop me. Otherwise, I won’t spare you. Do you really think your cultivation level is above mine?"
Fu Xi shook his head, saying, "I don’t want to destroy everything we have now, including Ye Fan’s life, which I hope to preserve because only in this way can we truly confront the Heavenly Tribulation. Now the Heavenly Tribulation already threatens our lives. You say the Heavenly Tribulation won’t kill you, me, and Pan Gu, but are you so confident you can withstand it?"
This question left Nuwa without an answer, while Ye Fan sneered, "You can’t even decide among yourselves, so I won’t be polite to you. From now I will also test if my cultivation can oppose yours. I don’t deny that your cultivation levels are indeed formidable, but if I want to confront you, I might not be without any chance."
"You arrogant human, you are truly unreasonable!" Nuwa appeared furious and said, "Originally, there was no need to kill you. You only had to hand over the two women by your side. Now it’s you seeking your own death, so I won’t stop you—go and die completely!"
After saying that, Nuwa attacked Ye Fan, while Fu Xi didn’t seem to intend to stop her. Ye Fan was already fully prepared to cope when another powerful force descended from the sky, coinciding almost simultaneously with Nuwa’s attack.
This force couldn’t be traced back to a source, and the direction of the attack was aimed at Nuwa. In desperation, Nuwa had to alter her previous attack on Ye Fan to address the power coming toward her. The force seemed terrifying, making it difficult for Nuwa to cope. As the force descended upon Nuwa’s head, Fu Xi also felt that the force seemed to want to kill Nuwa. Nuwa found herself powerless to counter this force.
"Ding..." Almost simultaneously, Fu Xi and Nuwa countered this force. Once this force was suppressed by the two, everything returned to calm, leaving no clues behind.
"Who?" Nuwa exclaimed furiously. In her view, there shouldn’t exist anyone who could rival her power or even threaten her life. The appearance of this person posed a significant threat to her, yet it was impossible to identify who it was.
Ye Fan appeared thoughtful. Only he had traced some clues to the force earlier. It seemed to be related to the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Heavenly Tribulation hadn’t yet descended, leaving the situation unexplainable for Ye Fan.
Nuwa’s question remained unanswered, yet she was still unwilling to give up. Nuwa angrily said, "Who is lurking around? Pan Gu, if you want to kill me, then do it directly. Why kill me?"
Fu Xi, with a hint of regret, said, "You’re wrong. It wasn’t Pan Gu who targeted you just now. I’m very familiar with Pan Gu’s strength, and his power is not like this."
"Who else could it be? Ye Fan is right in front of me and it’s certainly not him who launched the attack on me. Only Pan Gu’s strength could possibly challenge me," Nuwa said, indirectly admitting that Ye Fan’s power was approaching hers, even suggesting he already had the ability to challenge her.
Keeping calm, Fu Xi said, "If it was Pan Gu, he has no reason to hide. You forgot that the Heavenly Tribulation is imminent. In the last Heavenly Tribulation, the forces we faced came from fixed attacks. Even if those attacks were powerful, their direction and intensity could be anticipated, so there wasn’t much of a problem. But now it’s different. This force’s magnitude exceeds our imagination. Do you think you can definitely resist such a power? Such a powerful force can only be the strength of the Heavenly Tribulation..."
"Who are you trying to scare?" Nuwa redirected her anger toward Fu Xi. "Basically, you just don’t want Ye Fan to die, so that force earlier had something to do with you."
Fu Xi shook his head, "I didn’t expect you to hold such a bias against me. Since I want to stop you, I would do so directly. Why would I go through such trouble? Nuwa, you should calm down a bit. Stop determining outcomes based solely on your will. You think you’re right, but many things you believe in are actually obsessive. Can’t you recognize that?"
Nuwa was angry. She was facing a former lover and a rising human, both posing significant threats to her. Now another mysterious and powerful force had appeared. What exactly this force was, no one could genuinely answer.
"Ye Fan, go," Fu Xi said to Ye Fan. "Before the Heavenly Tribulation descends, we should consider ourselves allies. Even if you don’t want to admit it, you should know our confrontation is of no benefit to the world. I believe there’s a moral righteousness in your heart, which is why you are willing to oppose Nuwa. But you should also know that acting rashly is useless now. After the Heavenly Tribulation, we might not be able to avoid a battle. By then, that will determine the ownership of the cosmic control..."
Nuwa said, "You let him go now, are you aware that after his power surpasses ours in the future, will he spare us?"
"And what can we do? You also know that Ye Fan’s power is a major factor in countering the Heavenly Tribulation. There’s even a chosen one beside Ye Fan to help us avert the Heavenly Tribulation. He is beneficial to us, and even knowing he might become a threat to us, we shouldn’t directly take his life, as that would threaten your own life!" Fu Xi said.
Nuwa sneered, "Then are you going to let him increase his cultivation in the Heavenly Tribulation?"
"What exactly is the Heavenly Tribulation, you can’t even determine right now! So instead of killing Ye Fan now, why not wait until after the Heavenly Tribulation? By then, although his power may have increased, he’ll still have to see if he has the ability to oppose us ancient cultivators!" Fu Xi said sternly.
