Chapter 2105 - 2101: Refusal to Cooperate

Ye Fan and Lan Jing are still observing the impact brought by the heavenly tribulation within the Pan Gu secret realm.

When Ye Fan discovered the forces of the heavenly tribulation were very powerful, even more powerful than he had previously estimated, he began to worry that during the next round of heavenly tribulation attacks, the entire Pan Gu secret realm might be destroyed by it.

"Ye Fan, after this event, will the next wave of attacks happen soon?" Lan Jing asked with immense concern, looking at Ye Fan.

As Lan Jing could already feel the urgency of the approaching heavenly tribulation, Ye Fan was even more anxious. In his heart, there was a sense of mission to protect the common people, although he knew he was virtually powerless to protect ordinary civilians.

Ye Fan’s abilities were limited; he could only do his utmost to protect the Pan Gu secret realm from harm. As for how to protect every ordinary citizen, Ye Fan thought, was an impossible task.

"The interval between this wave of attacks and the next one is about half an hour, which is five hours within the Pan Gu secret realm. This is just my estimation. If the heavenly tribulation intensifies, I fear it will eventually completely destroy the Pan Gu secret realm, and I will be utterly helpless!" Ye Fan sighed.

Lan Jing asked, "Is there anything we can do right now?"

"Go to Heavenly Peak Mountain and take a look, observe everything around us, hoping to find some flaws in the heavenly tribulation. But for us, these flaws are impossible to find, and even if we could, with our abilities, we couldn’t fully resolve the heavenly tribulation." Ye Fan said.

Lan Jing looked at Ye Fan, and after a long time, she firmly nodded. She still trusted Ye Fan greatly; in her view, as long as Ye Fan was here, many things could be resolved smoothly.

Ye Fan brought Lan Jing to Heavenly Peak Mountain. Initially, Ye Fan wanted to see how arrogant Zhuo Junwu behind the heavenly tribulation forces would be, but soon, he realized that an uninvited guest had long been waiting for him at Heavenly Peak Mountain. From Ye Fan’s observation, the visitor’s cultivation was extremely high, and although concealed, Ye Fan could still discern that the visitor was Fu Xi.

Ye Fan thought, "Pan Gu and Fu Xi have already hidden away; why am I encountering them now? What are their intentions for coming this time? Surely it’s not to help me resolve the heavenly tribulation, right?"

When Ye Fan and Lan Jing landed on the Heavenly Peak Mountain, they were not far from Fu Xi, and the place Fu Xi faced was where Ye Fan had imprisoned Zhuo Junwu, using the elemental forces of spatial constraint, making it difficult for Fu Xi to easily find the person.

"You’re still here," Fu Xi observed Ye Fan, speaking with a kind of casualness that seemed inevitable.

Ye Fan said, "What is your purpose for coming here? After the heavenly tribulation, you would still come; I thought you and Pan Gu would completely hide away and have no further contact with me."

"You’ve placed your status too high; do you think we need to avoid you? With your cultivation, overpowering us isn’t an easy task... The power of the first wave of heavenly tribulation attacks is almost equal to the final wave of the last heavenly tribulation. The upcoming attacks could range from several waves to dozens of waves. Do you think you can handle it?" Fu Xi asked.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "No matter whether I have that confidence, some things are hard to evade. I don’t need to doubt what I’m doing... What I can do now is to face the heavenly tribulation with the greatest possible effort. I’ve never thought the heavenly tribulation could be completely resolved, just like you all have never believed my cultivation could surpass yours, right?"

Fu Xi didn’t answer; he appeared quite self-assured.

After a long time, he finally looked in the direction of the Divine weapon at Heavenly Peak Mountain and said, "This weapon is still here; if you pick up this weapon, everything will change, but you’ve maintained a sense of normalcy, which is quite impressive!"

"What do you want to say? Do you want me to join the forces of the heavenly tribulation and oppose you ancient cultivators?" Ye Fan asked.

"Even if you don’t join the heavenly tribulation forces, you’re not opposing us? Ye Fan, your biggest flaw is your arrogance. You think you can control everything, but actually, within the entire heavenly tribulation forces, many factors can make you see everything clearly... Where is your master Zhuo Junwu now? I have some questions for him." Fu Xi said.

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Zhuo Junwu as a person no longer exists. To be precise, the person you’re looking for is Li Yunhuo, and Li Yunhuo is a piece I’m using to counter the heavenly tribulation. I won’t easily hand him over, apologies!"

"Heh, Ye Fan, don’t you think you’re too arrogant? I’m here to help you; can’t you see that?" Fu Xi said.

Ye Fan shook his head again and said, "Whether you’re here to help me has nothing to do with me. I don’t need you to help me do anything. In the Pan Gu secret realm, many people died from absolute arrogance, and that includes you and Pan Gu. You think you can handle us ordinary humans with a superior posture, but you forget who is currently in control of everything and who even needs to save people from the heavenly tribulation!"

In Ye Fan’s view, he couldn’t possibly cooperate with Fu Xi anymore; this wouldn’t align with his own interests.

If he were to cooperate with Fu Xi, the likely result would be too many conflicts between the two, making it impossible to cooperate thoroughly. After the heavenly tribulation, they would part ways and fight for the power of domination.

That would be better than choosing not to interact with Fu Xi from the start. This way, after the heavenly tribulation, killing Pan Gu and Fu Xi wouldn’t leave any psychological burden for him.

"Forget it, if you don’t want to speak, I won’t force you... But if you hide people here, I can detect it, and the heavenly tribulation forces will also find out. Now, the heavenly tribulation forces have only spawned one Zhuo Junwu, believe there will be more heavenly tribulation forces coming. These people have their own consciousness, and they will be responsible for helping the heavenly tribulation to scour the power of human cultivators within the entire Pan Gu secret realm... How much chance of victory do you think you have?" Fu Xi asked.

Ye Fan said, "The chance of victory is not important; what matters is that I still have the ability to face the heavenly tribulation. No matter who comes, there will only be one result, which is to be killed by me. I won’t allow the heavenly tribulation to affect my own interests, including the safety of human life on Earth, which is something I absolutely must protect."

"Arrogant, too arrogant... With such arrogance, I believe you won’t live long. It seems I’ve made a mistake; I shouldn’t have chosen to come and help you. So I’ll leave it to you, and let’s see how long you can keep boasting!"

After speaking, Fu Xi vanished from the spot, seemingly unafraid of being traced by Ye Fan.
