Chapter 2191 - 2187: You’re Courting Death

"What’s going on? Why does the heavenly tribulation bring such a huge disaster? This power seems so familiar?"

After the fourth round of heavenly tribulation began, those related to Ye Fan, especially the ancient cultivators with high levels of cultivation, noticed that the power of this heavenly tribulation was extraordinary.

It’s not that this power is exceedingly exaggerated or strong, but rather that this power makes them feel a sense of familiarity, a familiarity stemming from their understanding of Ye Fan and their fear of an elemental power possessed by Ye Fan.

Xi He was searching for Ye Fan, and the power she faced evoked a deep-seated fear within her.

"How could this be? Could it be that the master brought about this disaster?" This thought emerged in Xi He’s mind, causing her to feel scared, as it was an extremely bold conjecture that left her unable to face it.

"Since you already felt it, why even say it?"

Suddenly, a shadow appeared beside Xi He, nearly silently arriving here.

This shadow was Nuwa, and indeed it was Nuwa’s true form. Xi He looked at Nuwa’s true form, appearing incredulous, and said, "How did you find this place?"

"Do you really need to ask? Finding you is incredibly easy for me. Do you think you have the capability to block my tracking of you? I created you, and there is a seed I planted within you!" Nuwa said.

"In the past, I might have believed such words from you, but I’m sorry, now I cannot possibly believe you. Do you think you can deceive the world for so long? My birth originates from an ancient energy source, which I have already proven myself. You don’t need to speak nonsense to me anymore!" Xi He responded.

Nuwa laughed, "Xi He, I don’t want to discuss how you were born, nor do I feel any glory in creating you. I now want to remind you that you must obey me. Only then can I help you. Now that Ye Fan has brought the fourth round of heavenly tribulation, soon his power will destroy the Pan Gu secret realm he has always protected. And next, he will aim to kill those ancient cultivators who oppose him. Do you want to witness this outcome?"

"No, it won’t happen." Xi He watched the strong energy change between heaven and earth and the distorted time-space, shaking her head, "Even if Ye Fan is not here now, the people around him are still here. His wife, and his chosen celestial being are present. As long as this celestial chosen one can change some things, the events you predict will not happen. This you cannot deny!"

Nuwa laughed loudly, "Xi He, it seems you are still as naive as when you were born. Do you think anyone would come to assist him in changing things that even Ye Fan cannot? You give Ye Fan too much credit. Now it is Ye Fan’s power destroying everything—even if he once made preparations, what difference does it make? In the end, isn’t he the one destroying the order he created and the one annihilating it all?"

Xi He’s words couldn’t be refuted by herself, as she was quite familiar with Ye Fan’s energy system.

The power within Ye Fan could be said to hold a nearly terrifying elemental power, and Xi He herself possessed certain elemental powers too. Thus, Xi He was quite sure that this heavenly tribulation did indeed have an inseparable connection with what Nuwa said—likely caused by Ye Fan’s own strength, which made her feel particularly worried.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Xi He questioned, "Even if you know the current heavenly tribulation is related to my master—that is, Ye Fan—so what? You still can’t kill Ye Fan. Is the destruction of the Pan Gu secret realm something you lament? The Pan Gu secret realm was originally a conspiracy you and Pan Gu devised to search for Ye Fan. Now that Ye Fan has appeared, whether the Pan Gu secret realm is destroyed is of no consequence to you!"

"You do have a point." Nuwa nodded, "But I’d like to remind you, Xi He, that I still wish to bring you back. If you can rejoin our ranks, we will have many ways to deal with Ye Fan. Once Ye Fan dies, order will change... because right now Pan Gu is in a state of frenzy. As long as Ye Fan is killed, it will be easy to kill Pan Gu, and then a new order will be created, with you as the hero in all of this."

Xi He smiled bitterly, "You want to change the order, just using a different method than mine. After altering the order, do you plan to become the ruler of the entire universe? Aren’t you merely trying to help Fu Xi achieve all this?"

"So what? At least Fu Xi will help me. I know his heart definitely sides with me!" Nuwa replied coldly.

"That may not be true. Actually, Fu Xi and Pan Gu, alike, are steadfast maintainers of this order. Though Fu Xi hasn’t killed you, nor betrayed you, that doesn’t mean he will stand by your side, because killing you is also a way of altering order. He merely wishes to maintain this order, which is why he hasn’t acted against you!"

Xi He’s words evidently wounded Nuwa’s heart.

Nuwa angrily said, "Shut up, you need to understand the consequences of the words you’re saying!"

"I don’t care about the consequences. Given my current status and abilities, what can I change? You’re keeping me around just to get methods from me to kill Ye Fan, to be your spy. You’re not genuinely trying to recruit me, so why act so grandiose before me? Regardless of what Ye Fan is, he is chosen by the upper creator to change everything. When he alters order, the order will follow a logical path of positive development, rather than maintaining your so-called ancient greats’ order—an order that is merely a corrupt monopoly, where the lower cultivators have no power whatsoever!" Xi He retorted sharply.

Nuwa said, "You’re courting death."

"Whether I’m courting death, you don’t have the right to judge. If you’re capable, then come and kill me, and see if you have the right!" Xi He provocatively challenged Nuwa, even indicating an intention to directly engage with Nuwa.

This surprised Nuwa, as she did not expect Xi He, usually indifferent, to oppose her for Ye Fan.

"Overestimating your strength. Since you’re courting death, I’ll fulfill your wish!" With these words, Nuwa showed a tendency to act.
