Invincible Young Master in the City

Ye Fan needed to find the whereabouts of the chosen one, but in such a rush, he himself wasn’t confident of success.

However, aside from finding the chosen one, he could also focus on something else, which was cultivation.

These two matters were indeed conflicting; finding the chosen one was not easy, and surpassing Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa in cultivation seemed unrealistic. Overall, he faced significant troubles ahead.

Li Zhaojun accompanied him this time, and she was also curious about the final identity of the chosen one. She wanted to help Ye Fan but was aware of the vast gap in cultivation levels between them, making it difficult for her to assist him.

"Ye Fan, if you can’t find the chosen one, would you just give up? I think the possibility of finding them in a short time is quite low. All the women around you have been checked, and ancient prophecies never said that the chosen one would necessarily be someone by your side," Li Zhaojun said with doubt.

Ye Fan sighed, "Though I haven’t found the chosen one yet, it’s the only way to dissolve the heavenly tribulation. The tribulation is imminent, and the true tribulation has the power to destroy the universe. I’m not entirely sure how powerful it is, but if we give up, it means we can only yield to destiny’s arrangements, awaiting destruction or enslavement!"

"Ye Fan, I know your character; you don’t want to follow orders. But you must also understand that facing the heavenly tribulation isn’t something humans are equipped to do. Our abilities haven’t reached that level, so why force it?" Li Zhaojun said.

Ye Fan looked at Li Zhaojun and said with determination, "Zhaojun, perhaps the purpose of our cultivation differs somewhat. You cultivate to heal your body, whereas my cultivation is more about changing destiny. Although our power is feeble, perhaps incapable of altering fate, if we never try, how would we know it’s impossible? Rest assured, I won’t do anything reckless. I promise you; whatever I do, I’ll always keep you in mind and won’t act impulsively."

Li Zhaojun looked at Ye Fan and suddenly sighed inexplicably. She sensed the stubbornness in his heart. As for what Ye Fan was trying to do, she found it hard to comprehend. Yet, the persistence Ye Fan held was an effort made for ordinary humans. With her open-mindedness, Li Zhaojun could understand his mentality, but she didn’t know how to face it.

What she pursued was nothing more than the safety of those around her; she didn’t aspire for much more. Yet, Ye Fan’s pursuit was not so simple. He hoped to become the master of the living world but also sought a natural and peaceful life, simply not wanting others to interfere with his tranquil existence.

...

...

As the heavenly tribulation approached, not only was Ye Fan making efforts, but so were Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and others, though they did not disclose these efforts to ordinary humans.

"The arrival of the heavenly tribulation is sooner than imagined. This force seems to have already pressed into the universe. Before long, it will devour the previously created defensive shell, and the universe will face a significant catastrophe," Pan Gu finally opened his eyes and said to Fu Xi.

Fu Xi also meditated on the incoming disaster and said, "Even you can feel it; this force is indeed unstoppable. If it can’t be thoroughly defeated now, we can only wait for destruction. Humanity will surely fall, and even ancient cultivators won’t be exempt. Even you, me, and Nuwa may not escape this catastrophe. Overthinking it is futile. I just want to know what efforts you’ve made regarding this calamity?"

"I will completely resolve this disaster. Do you believe me?" Pan Gu asked.

Fu Xi shook his head and said, "If you could do that, you wouldn’t need to utilize Ye Fan. I know you plan to harness Ye Fan’s strength and even plan to kill or imprison him entirely after saving the world from the tribulation. This way, he won’t pose a threat to your position, but you should know, humanity became the third rising power in the universe because of their tenacity. To this day, I can’t understand the mindset of Ye Fan and those humans. If he can change everything, he might defeat both you and me, making him the dominator.’

"It’s too early to discuss this now. Let’s deal with the heavenly tribulation first," Pan Gu said.

Fu Xi said, "I will meet Ye Fan once before the tribulation fully arrives. Regardless of your stance, I will definitely align with Ye Fan to face it together. If you choose to stand with us, I recommend you do so as well. Regardless of future enmities, at least in facing the heavenly tribulation, our interests align with Ye Fan’s, don’t they?"

"I won’t collaborate with an ordinary human. Call me arrogant or petty," Pan Gu said, "I’ve been contemplating this heavenly tribulation for tens of thousands of years. Even if this one is safely resolved, the following ones may not be survivable. Each tribulation is increasingly powerful, outpacing our cultivation progress. I believe this tribulation is at the point of destroying the entire universe. If we withstand this one, we might leave this universe to confront the higher-level creators. What do you think?"

Fu Xi shook his head, "You lack that capability, yet persist in doing so, inviting trouble. I don’t think you can challenge the higher-level creators since you’re nearly overwhelmed by the current top human cultivators. If this tribulation passes, Ye Fan’s cultivation could become something even we fear. If you fall at Ye Fan’s hands, have you considered your path—death, imprisonment, or awaiting resurgence?"

Pan Gu chuckled and said, "The biggest difference between you and me is I don’t dwell on failures—it’s needless worry. Humans haven’t been able to surpass us ancient cultivators. If Ye Fan truly has the ability, I’ll bow to him and even let him decide my fate in the future. But I know he won’t succeed, because you and I are here. We won’t allow such a thing to happen. In this matter, you must unconditionally stand by my side."
