Chapter 2031 - 2027: Resolving Ye Fan’s Problem
Li Yunhuo was not hijacked by Pan Gu and Fu Xi, but suddenly vanished.
Li Yunhuo’s disappearance was something even Pan Gu and Fu Xi could not foresee. When the two realized that Li Yunhuo had vanished in an instant from both Pan Gu’s secret realm and the universe, they both became aware of one problem: Li Yunhuo had mastered a passage leading to a higher-tier universe.
The two did not linger long in Pan Gu’s secret realm, but first went to a certain secret place in the universe, also to prevent being tracked by Ye Fan.
"I didn’t expect that this ordinary human would possess such terrifying cultivation, able to vanish without a trace right before our eyes. That’s an ability neither you nor I possess!" Fu Xi said with some emotion. "Could it be that the ability to travel to other universes truly exists? Or rather, above our level, there are creators even higher? Wasn’t all of this supposed to be just a lie?"
Pan Gu shook his head and said, "I’ve long said that we, like humans, were created by living beings. The only difference is that we live in a universe where no one can kill us. But if the upper-layer creators wish to kill us, we can only passively endure the calamities brought by the heavenly tribulation!"
Fu Xi said, "Where exactly did that human go? Is it possible that he’s hiding within some secret cosmic space, and hasn’t actually left the universe?"
"I don’t know!" Pan Gu said. "If Ye Fan were here now, I actually think he might sense something. The cultivation on his body is very similar to that of this Li Yunhuo. Right, Fu Xi, do you know where Ye Fan is now?"
Fu Xi sensed for a moment, then said, "He should have gone to Pan Gu’s secret realm. Perhaps at this very moment Ye Fan has also sensed the changes brought by the energy. He should know we’ve been to Pan Gu’s secret realm and looked for Li Yunhuo!"
Pan Gu said nothing. Instead, he gazed at the vast cosmic expanse and said, "I’ve lived here for far, far too long. It was I who brought destruction and new life to the universe. Yet I have never been able to grasp the energy outside the universe. At the edge of the universe, the deeper you go, the more unfathomable the space becomes, a depth I cannot withstand. The universe seems to be a place with no origin, only development. I cannot explore its past. But now I seem to understand: we are nothing more than a joke played by the creators!"
Fu Xi could feel the desolation in Pan Gu’s heart; he did not interrupt him.
"Fu Xi, now help me do one thing. You must obstruct that human called Li Yunhuo from bringing harm to us. We must now also take control of our own Destiny, and can no longer be ruled by the power of the universe. Do you understand what I’m saying?" Pan Gu said harshly.
Fu Xi thought for a moment. As though he understood something, he nodded and said, "You want me to deal with Ye Fan? Kill him? Or find Li Yunhuo and kill Li Yunhuo?"
Pan Gu shook his head and said, "Right now I don’t even know what exactly we’ll be facing. It’s truly too terrifying. Ye Fan’s current cultivation already makes me feel fear. If after some time his cultivation improves significantly, I’ll have even less idea of how I could possibly kill him!"
There was some hesitation in Fu Xi’s expression as well. In the end he said, "Don’t worry, I understand what you’re saying. I must first bring Nuwa back..."
"No. You must go block Ye Fan, block Li Yunhuo. You cannot retrieve Nuwa. This concerns the face of us ancient cultivators; you must not break our principles!" Pan Gu said.
...
...
Fu Xi arrived on Earth, reaching the ancient ruins at the North Pole.
This was the place where Ye Fan usually cultivated. However, at this moment, only Nuwa, Su Nu, and Xuan Nu were here. Nuwa had been sealed by Ye Fan and had no idea about changes in the outside world, while Su Nu and Xuan Nu were still unconscious.
What was rather troublesome for Ye Fan was extremely easy for Fu Xi. He only needed to raise his hand to awaken Su Nu and Xuan Nu.
When the two women opened their eyes, they immediately realized that something seemed off about the situation before them.
"You... why is it you?" Xuan Nu glared at Fu Xi and asked.
"And why can’t it be me?" Fu Xi said. "I came merely to resolve the problem of Ye Fan. Seeing you knocked unconscious by Nuwa, I saved you. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Xuan Nu sneered and said, "You’re here to save Nuwa, to break the principles, and you even intend to violate the agreement and kill Ye Fan?"
"No. I’m only doing what little I can according to Pan Gu’s instructions. Xuan Nu, I think your wariness of me is a bit too much. In fact, what Ye Fan does isn’t necessarily all correct. Why do you trust Ye Fan completely?" Xi He asked sharply.
Xuan Nu said, "Right now I only trust Ye Fan. Su Nu, have you recovered your own consciousness?"
At this moment Su Nu still appeared very confused. She looked around and said, "Where is this? Why am I here? Nuwa... she... she imprisoned me. Why is Fu Xi here as well?"
In front of so many powerful ancient experts, Su Nu appeared very humble. Aside from her, the three people before her were all ancient great powers, each posing a great threat to her. So she did her best to make herself seem even more fragile. Before she lost consciousness, Pan Gu and Fu Xi had not yet awakened. After she awoke, everything had already happened, and even a heavenly tribulation was about to descend.
Fu Xi sized Su Nu up and said, "I didn’t expect that the little yellow-haired girl from back then has grown so much. You still remember me—good. Now you have a choice: you can leave Ye Fan and return to the side of the ancient cultivators!"
Only then did Su Nu recall some of her stories with Ye Fan, and she also knew that she had entered into a Blood Oath with Ye Fan.
"Fu Xi, I don’t know why you have awakened, but I... will not go with you, because... I already have a Blood Oath with Ye Fan. I am now his servant, do you understand?" Su Nu said in a very flustered tone.
Xuan Nu said, "What are you explaining to him for? You belong to yourself now; you don’t need to account to anyone. Trust me, as long as Ye Fan is not dead yet, he won’t dare do anything to us!"
"What? Master, he... what’s happened to him?"
Although Su Nu knew that Ye Fan’s cultivation was very high, she only knew it was higher than hers. Many things were not as she had imagined before, because Ye Fan seemed not to possess the ability to contend with the very top ancient great powers.
After a long moment, Su Nu walked over and said, "I think I can understand some things now. In any case, I don’t care what my master has become. I only need to know that I am responsible only to my master for what I do. Fu Xi, if you want to kill my master, then kill me first. I will never let you succeed!"
Fu Xi shook his head and sighed, "A good little girl, yet she’s already been driven mad by Ye Fan’s entanglement. Ye Fan truly has led you all into obsession! Detestable, detestable!"
