Invincible Young Master in the City

Ye Fan does not intend to listen to Zhuo Junwu, nor does he want to fully obey those ancient cultivators. He believes in his own choices and judgments. In his view, he needs to grasp his destiny in his own hands, rather than having others arrange his fate.

"Ye Fan, the opportunity is already in front of you. You can control your destiny, even save those you love, and the ordinary creatures on Earth. In the end, you are not someone who helps the villain. You are helping humanity solve the heavenly tribulation, and even ordinary people within the Pan Gu secret realm, besides the cultivators, can be preserved. Is this any loss for you?"

Zhuo Junwu seems unwilling to give up, still persuading Ye Fan.

Ye Fan said, "What you say does not align with my interests. I will not listen to you. My life is in my own hands, and I don’t need charity from others. Right now, I want to fulfill my mission, to save humanity from the heavenly tribulation. If my mentor, you are not on my side, then I hope you stop saying such futile words and leave. After the heavenly tribulation ends, I will confront those ancient cultivators head-on. Even if I fail, I will have no regrets."

"Ah! You disappoint me greatly. Such a divine weapon is placed before you, and it was prepared for someone like you, yet you refuse to accept it. In my view, your choice is very unwise. Fine, I will not persuade you anymore." Zhuo Junwu, filled with disappointment, looked up at Pan Gu and said, "Pan Gu, you, as a leading figure among ancient cultivators, are indeed the main target of the heavenly tribulation. You now transfer this conflict onto ordinary people. You are truly shameless; a person like you is not qualified to lead the entire cultivation world."

Pan Gu smiled and said, "Whether I am qualified is not for you to decide. Now your disciple seems not to stand on your side."

"How he chooses is his own business. What I want to tell you now is, you are destined to perish in this heavenly tribulation. Do you think with Ye Fan’s help, you can successfully deal with this heavenly tribulation? Haha, it’s merely wishful thinking. The true heavenly tribulation will utterly destroy you, while Ye Fan possesses a mysterious power and can save himself. On this matter, I don’t need to explain anything to you... If you want to kill me, now is the best opportunity. If not, then I will leave." Zhuo Junwu said proudly in front of Pan Gu.

"Trying to leave?" Nuwa was angry about Zhuo Junwu intending to leave with Shen Biancheng and Bai He, just about to make a move, but was stopped by Pan Gu.

Pan Gu said, "Their destiny is determined by the heavenly tribulation. The ultimate destination of the heavenly tribulation is something he cannot dominantly decide. He is just a puppet of the heavenly tribulation. He wants to bring Ye Fan into the force of the heavenly tribulation, but unfortunately Ye Fan hasn’t made such a choice. Killing them now is meaningless because Ye Fan is not ready; it’s not suitable for the heavenly tribulation to come directly."

"Killing them will bring the heavenly tribulation? I don’t believe it." Nuwa said stubbornly.

"It’s undeniable. Actually, before the heavenly tribulation arrived, I already considered this problem. Since the heavenly tribulation is set to occur, it’s impossible that it didn’t arrange any forces in the human world. Only now do I realize it is the mysterious power of Heavenly Peak Mountain, which was embedded when I created the Pan Gu secret realm. Unfortunately, I have been asleep since then, unaware of how terrifying this power could be."

After speaking, Pan Gu looked at Ye Fan deep in thought in the distance, and said, "It’s time for us to leave. If we don’t go now, perhaps Ye Fan will change his mind."

"Do we need to consider a human’s thoughts and subjective judgments?" Fu Xi said, "Pan Gu, this doesn’t seem like your character."

Pan Gu shook his head and said, "In the thousands of years of cultivation, I’ve understood one thing: forcing things is meaningless. Rather than continuing to force things, it’s better to peacefully wait for the final heavenly tribulation. If this heavenly tribulation can be managed, at least for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years we can be safe, then wait to see when the next heavenly tribulation arrives. We cannot truly resist the heavenly tribulation as each one is stronger than the last..."

In his words, Pan Gu also carried great helplessness, and finally left the Pan Gu secret realm, with Fu Xi, Nuwa, and others following him. Only Xi He and Xuan Nu remained.

...

...

Ye Fan wouldn’t pay attention to those ancient cultivators. That divine weapon constantly stood before him, saying if he ever changed his mind, he could pick it up at any time, but he didn’t want to.

"What is the master still hesitating over?" Xi He looked at Ye Fan with a hint of curiosity, "If the master feels a little unwilling, he can take this weapon and change everything in the world; everyone must also submit to the master’s will."

Ye Fan side-eyed Xi He and said, "I have a question for you. Did you actually already know my mentor was the force sent by the heavenly tribulation, and even know who among my companions is the chosen one?"

Xi He shook her head and said, "I’ve been searching for a long time, but to say I know is absolutely impossible. I haven’t reached that level of strength yet. Previously, I discovered many secrets hidden in Little Zhuo... that is, in your mentor. But I didn’t expect he was the descendant sent by the heavenly tribulation to the Pan Gu secret realm. Perhaps your Li Huo faction’s mystery itself sparked my curiosity. After searching for a while, I could not find the final answer. Now I can only say the master has acquired the chance to change everything; however the master chooses, it should not become the master’s burden..."

Xuan Nu also looked at Ye Fan and said, "Have you now found out who the chosen one is?"

"I haven’t found them." Ye Fan said, "It seems it’s not likely I will find them anytime soon. Even if I find them, I don’t have the time to train them. This is the most bothersome issue; the chosen one seems not so crucial to saving the heavenly tribulation. If I had made the wrong move earlier, I could even have become the greatest destructive force within the heavenly tribulation myself. Even now, I have not escaped the impact this shadow has over me, because what my mentor said is too tempting for me!"

Xuan Nu said, "Then choose whatever you wish, as long as you can ensure that after the heavenly tribulation, the Pan Gu secret realm and we are preserved. As for whether Pan Gu and Fu Xi die, it doesn’t seem to have much direct impact on us!"
