Free Web NovelChapter 1818: Chapter 1814: About the Supreme Ruler
Ye Fan did not stay in the Pan Gu Secret Realm, as Ye Fan had things to do elsewhere; the place he was going was not on Earth, but in the Left Domain Galaxy.
Although he didn’t know there were problems with Li Zhaojun and Min Shang, he had already been alerted in his heart and wouldn’t foolishly plunge into a trap. But Nuwa and Shen Yan would use various means to attract him, even trapping him in a state of eternal disaster.
"Ye Fan, you should know what’s happening here, right?" A blurry figure appeared in the space of the Left Domain Galaxy. Ye Fan looked at the space in front of him where the power had vanished and frowned.
Ye Fan said, "What do you mean? Is this a sign of celestial tribulation happening?"
"No, this is just the remains of the person you’re looking for. They have completely disappeared. They were originally killed by you, so now, they won’t pose any threat to you. So, you know what it means, don’t you?" The blurry figure spoke, controlling a mass of power in the space where it was entirely a vacuum, with no remnants of anything.
This blurry figure was none other than Lei Zu, whom Ye Fan had helped to regain a human body.
Beside Lei Zu was another blurry figure, her daughter.
Now Ye Fan helped them mother and daughter achieve their wish to reunite. In return, they would assist Ye Fan in investigating certain matters, the most crucial one being the disappearance of Demonic Qi. The two dark magic cultivators, Fa Ying and Hua Wu, whom Ye Fan previously controlled, had completely vanished in space, as if their powers had never existed.
"You mean they’ve completely disappeared, leaving no trace, which means their power has fully integrated into the universe and won’t pose any future threat to me, is that what you mean?" Ye Fan asked.
Lei Zu looked at Ye Fan and said, "Ye Fan, you seem to have doubts about this. Do you mean I’ll completely hide the power of these two dark magic girls? Their power currently poses no threat to you. Why would you still worry about these things? Those people from the celestial realms are clearly more dangerous than this. You say this is the celestial tribulation, but in fact, it can’t possibly be related to celestial tribulation because Demonic Qi originally exists in the universe. This point you should be clear about; the threat posed by dark magic cultivators only exists in the early stages of your cultivation, while in the later stages, the real threat is only the celestial tribulation."
"Maybe you’re right, Demonic Qi indeed cannot cause me substantial threat, but due to the existence of dark magic cultivators, people around me may face danger. What I care about is not my life and death, but if these dark magic cultivators threaten my loved ones or people on Earth, even using their lives as leverage, I might not know how to deal with them!" Ye Fan said.
Lei Zu glanced at Ye Fan, seemingly disappointed, and said, "Ye Fan, you should be the one possessed of the strongest power in this universe. You shouldn’t have any personal attachments, even if there is something around you worth cherishing, it should become a thing of the past. Only then can you become the true ruler of the universe. And now, for some trivial personal attachments, you’ve forsaken the greater good and even desire a peaceful life, which is an emotion that should not belong to a cosmic ruler!"
"Say what you will, maybe you think I should go and rule the universe, but I don’t see it that way. Because everyone has their own ideas. From a human perspective, they don’t want to be ruled by anyone; they wish to steer their own lives, just like you, and your daughter also want a peaceful life, without being ruled by others. You’ve long been controlled by others, now finally having freedom, so why not cherish the present freedom instead of hoping for others to rule everything?" Ye Fan asked.
Regarding Ye Fan’s inquiry, Lei Zu seemed hard-pressed to answer.
After a long silence, Lei Zu finally said, "Ye Fan, even if you can persuade me, you can’t convince the other ancient cultivators. If you can truly achieve ruling everything, then with your heart, you could indeed control your desire for possession, allowing us a more peaceful life. This universe always needs a ruler; without a ruler, everything would fall into chaos as it has these past hundreds of thousands of years."
"You mean, you’d rather live under my control than pursue a simple and happy life?" Ye Fan asked.
"Why can’t you rule us and grant us such a happy life?" Lei Zu retorted.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "What I’m saying doesn’t seem to contradict what you’re suggesting. If I can rule everything and I choose a simple and peaceful life, then you wouldn’t be ruled by anyone, right? At that time, if someone breaks the rules I set, they would be punished by me. Doing so is actually a form of ruling!"
Lei Zu thought about it and nodded herself.
Ye Fan continued, "From now on, you and your daughter are free. If you wish to pursue your own life, I will definitely not stop you, but if there are other ancient cultivators who might threaten you, then you can only seek your own fortune. I don’t want another Xi He to control you, but if I cannot complete the mastery of the universe, then those who want to control you will always exist. That person isn’t just me; it could be Pan Gu and Fu Xi, or perhaps an ambitious Nuwa, it’s up to you to decide!"
Having finished speaking, Ye Fan was about to leave the Left Domain Galaxy, seeming as though he no longer wanted to meddle in the affairs of dark magic.
After Ye Fan’s figure disappeared, Lei Zu sighed. She couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, "Daughter, unexpectedly Ye Fan still hasn’t listened to my suggestion. From now on, our lives may be ruled by others, these being neither Ye Fan, possibly Nuwa, or the power of the celestial tribulation. If Ye Fan doesn’t have ambitions for domination, then inevitably someone will emerge to seek domination, then control living beings, even turning us into undead beings!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The shadow of the girl asked, "Then what should we do?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
"There’s no way!" Lei Zu said, "Unless Ye Fan changes his mind, but now it seems this hope is minuscule because what Ye Fan pursues differs from all the dominators. Even if he truly rules, he might not be able to control all living and undead beings. At that time, he wouldn’t be a true ruler, and might even be controlled by others."
The girl uttered "Oh," as if she understood, but she knew she had no choice in some matters.
