Chapter 2190 - 2186: You Are the Heavenly Tribulation

After Ye Fan disappeared, everyone who knew anything related to him was watching this matter closely.

At this moment Lan Jing was still on the road searching for Ye Fan, and she was still being coerced by Leizu. As for Earth, there was still no further news of Ye Fan, and there were many unstable factors on Earth as well.

Everyone was afraid of one thing: the occurrence of the next round of Heavenly Tribulation.

As for Ye Fan at this time, he had absolutely no idea where he was, and he had not yet recovered his memory.

He felt as if he was living in an illusion. Everything was so real, yet it made him feel in his heart that this was absolutely not reality. No fog could confine him anymore.

"Where is this? Who am I? Why does everything here feel both familiar and strange to me? Why is it that I clearly can shatter all of this, yet there is a powerful force shackling my heart? Who is it that’s fighting me in this way?"

Ye Fan felt that he was being toyed with, or that someone was deliberately using this method to imprison him.

But he could find no further clues, because he was still inside the illusion.

The illusion was very similar to Earth’s environment, except that the streets and people here were not formed according to Earth, and there seemed to be some differences from Earth’s civilization. Here, everyone looked real, but in fact these people were merely acting according to some predetermined logic. These people could sense Ye Fan, but not a single one would communicate with him.

"Ye Fan, your spiritual power is indeed very strong. Up till now you can still hold fast to your own will without wavering. I have to admit, you’ve made me look at you in a new light." A woman’s voice sounded almost directly in Ye Fan’s mind.

Ye Fan looked around and raised his guard. "Who is it?" he asked.

"You’ve forgotten me so quickly? It was I who sent you back into the human world. Strictly speaking, you should be thanking me!" that woman’s voice continued to echo.

Ye Fan could feel that the woman’s voice sounded very mature, and beneath that maturity there was even a nuance that gave him a complicated feeling, but he didn’t know whether he had really ever seen this woman.

Ye Fan asked, "Who exactly are you? Have I seen you before?"

"You never had the chance to see me, or rather, you simply cannot see me, because we are lifeforms of two different forms of existence. The form of your existence is different from mine. I can only communicate with you in a way that you can understand. I’m certain you will never be able to find me," the woman said.

"So that means the one who has been mocking me, even making me lose my memory—that person is you?" Ye Fan was furious. He wanted to use his cultivation to break the mist before his eyes, but he discovered that his cultivation seemed to have vanished. "What exactly have you done to me?"

The woman laughed. "I’ve done quite a lot to you. I don’t have time to sum it all up for you, or rather, I’m not in the mood. Ye Fan, this is your human code name, and that is what you’re called. The mission you were born with is to save the Heavenly Tribulation, but in truth you have almost no chance of saving it... because the true Heavenly Tribulation is something you cannot see or touch. How then can you save it?"

"But I can kill you." Ye Fan said harshly.

"You can’t kill me, because I am not human, and I’m different from what you imagine. What meaning would there be in killing me?" the woman said. "Even if you kill me, you cannot steal my energy, because our energy sources are different. Originally our two types of power should never have had any chance to communicate, yet you stole some of the energy that belongs to our world..."

Ye Fan frowned. "You mean... elemental energy?"

"Looks like you still remember a few things. Let’s call it that. Those energies being used by you—that’s the reason you can hear me speak and even communicate with me. But soon this power of yours will disappear... probably after you kill Pan Gu and Fu Xi and the others. These people no longer need to exist. Once you’ve killed them, you can rule the universe. At that time, even if you only have the power of Spiritual Energy, no one will be able to shake your cultivation!" the woman said.

Ye Fan sneered. "Are you trying to deceive me, or use me? Do you think I’ll believe this bullshit of yours?"

"Right now you can choose not to believe. But once your memory recovers, you won’t have the luxury of disbelief anymore..." The woman seemed to be touching exactly the words buried in the deepest part of Ye Fan’s heart.

"It was you who sealed my memory—give my memory back to me!" Ye Fan shouted.

"I don’t have the ability to seal a human’s memory. It’s that the power in your body is too immense, and you cannot control it. That’s why you lost your memory. I know the cause of your memory loss, but I can’t help you, because your body is far too frail. Letting you possess such a powerful force is simply a waste!" The woman even sounded somewhat regretful.

At this moment Ye Fan was seething with rage. He wanted to kill this woman.

But he discovered that he was completely trapped in this fog, unable to get out, and his power had vanished without a trace.

"Go on being angry. Perhaps that’s exactly what you’re supposed to do... hahaha..." In the end, the woman actually started laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Fan asked.

"Ye Fan, this round of Heavenly Tribulation was actually brought upon the entire universe by you. I can’t help you, and you can’t change anything even if you want to. Do you really think you have the right to choose? The Heavenly Tribulation will make you lose your sight. Only when you’re lost and directionless can you be used by us. Hahaha, looks like our goal has already been achieved!" The woman kept on laughing.

This laughter made Ye Fan feel uneasy.

He didn’t know what was wrong, but he felt that even the power within his body was being stripped away.

"Why is this?" Ye Fan raised his hand. He could clearly see his own hand. Everything was very real, but this was nothing more than an illusion before his eyes.

When he tried again to communicate with that woman, he found that his connection with her had already been cut off.

"Why? Why?" Ye Fan kept asking himself. He very much wanted to remember the past, but for him, that was more impossible than killing himself.

And just as Ye Fan was questioning himself over and over, changes finally occurred within the universe.

The fourth round of Heavenly Tribulation arrived.

This time, the arrival of the Heavenly Tribulation was completely different from the previous three rounds. This power looked very gentle, but in fact it carried a lethally destructive force.

And most crucial of all, the source of this power was not the Heavenly Tribulation itself, but came from Ye Fan.

Ye Fan’s destructive power had become the fourth round of Heavenly Tribulation.
