Free Web NovelChapter 1923: Chapter 1919: No Alliance Formed
When Nuwa heard that Fu Xi would not come, her expression was full of anger, and she said harshly, "Pan Gu, what do you mean? Since you knew he wouldn’t come, why did you ask me to come? I don’t want to have any direct conversation with you. If you want to talk to this human boy, I won’t stop you, but if you’re trying to change something this way, I advise you to give up. Many orders now can’t be changed!"
Pan Gu looked at Nuwa, with a trace of disappointment in his expression, and said, "Nuwa, why have you become more impatient after all this time? I thought you could recognize your capabilities and wouldn’t make such mistakes again. I didn’t expect you to still be so impulsive and ignorant. I really don’t know how to describe it. This side of you makes me feel disappointed..."
Ye Fan looked at these two Ancient Venerables, feeling as if time could stop at any moment, and this feeling made him somewhat uncomfortable.
Their every dialogue seemed to cause a pause due to the slightest movement. Ye Fan also knew that the powers of these two Ancient Venerables were too strong. When they were together and on guard against each other, the force they generated distorted the surrounding space-time, even causing complex changes in time itself.
"I made you disappointed? Ha, Pan Gu, you really know how to speak sarcastically. Back then, I didn’t advocate for the creation of the Pan Gu secret realm. As a result, this secret realm kept us asleep for so long. Now that we’re finally awake, we’re not facing greater threats but instead arguing over personal grievances here. Only someone like you, the Ancient Venerable, could do such things. Now I find this human more straightforward in his actions. He just wants to get the life he desires, more ambitious than you, and more ambitious than that thief man. He always wanted to follow you as your subordinate. Even the strategies I devised for him, he doesn’t appreciate!" Nuwa seemed to be complaining, or perhaps scolding.
Ye Fan didn’t interrupt. He still wanted to watch the show from the side. He also wanted to know the different attitudes Pan Gu, Nuwa, and Fu Xi had toward the heavenly tribulation, and even wanted to know what other undisclosed secrets these three might have.
But unfortunately, Pan Gu was very cautious about these matters and wouldn’t explain them clearly.
Nuwa said, "Where is that thief man now? I want to go find him right away. If I can’t find him, then we have no room for negotiation. Human boy, I can help you in the future. These two powerful beings are united. If you can form an alliance with me, I will help you a lot and provide you with many conveniences!"
Ye Fan spread his hands and said, "Why should I trust you?"
"You?" Nuwa glared at Ye Fan, seemingly curious as to why Ye Fan didn’t understand the principle of strategic alliances, while Pan Gu seemed to have already known Ye Fan would make such a choice.
Pan Gu said, "Nuwa, you view this human too simply. What can you offer him to attract him? Can you make him possess supreme power? Or can you make him the sovereign of heaven and earth?"
The two of them were watching Ye Fan, as if waiting for Ye Fan to make an initial decision. Nuwa seemed very annoyed and said, "Ye Fan, don’t you want to save the people around you? Without my help, if Pan Gu and Fu Xi want to deal with you, you won’t have any chance to avoid it. Moreover... if you stand by my side, I can make you the master of the world..."
Ye Fan frowned and said, "The master of the world? What is that?"
Pan Gu chuckled but said nothing, while Nuwa spoke in a very serious tone, "If you become the master of the world, then you become my master. I can offer myself to you. You’ve already obtained a woman among the Ancient Venerables—Xuan Nu, and several other ancient female cultivators are yours. Don’t you want to have me? If you possess me, we become one. After this, you have to help me and not join Pan Gu and Fu Xi’s faction."
Nuwa seemed very confident, believing that Ye Fan would surely accept her proposition.
Pan Gu laughed and said, "Now I finally understand why you wanted humans to have the ability to procreate because, in human eyes, it’s an exceptionally sacred thing. To the extent that human males have an almost blind and demanding longing for it, which has become the greatest weakness in humans..."
"I don’t want to comment on what you said. I only know that I won’t become the master of the world because I lack the ability!" Ye Fan said.
"Hmm?" Nuwa frowned, scrutinizing Ye Fan, "Do you really not want to have me?"
Ye Fan said, "Though I like women, I don’t like women like you. Moreover... your several avatars have already been acquired by me. I’ve already comprehended the life force of you from them. How much different are you from them? What significance would it have to obtain you? Why should I form an alliance with you to gain you? Even if you gave me your body, can you give me your soul? You ancient cultivators seem unable to reproduce by human methods, otherwise, you Ancient Venerables would already have a bunch of kids..."
"Hahahahaha..." Pan Gu could not help but laugh when he heard Ye Fan’s words.
This laughter made Nuwa extremely displeased, even developing a desire to kill Ye Fan. However, with Pan Gu nearby and Ye Fan’s cultivation not low, the power among the three formed constraints, with no force able to significantly influence the trio.
Nuwa sneered, "It seems creating humans in the first place was a mistake, as humans have developed beyond my control. But Ye Fan, you will regret it, for when you possess me, you will gain a tremendous power initially intended for that thief man. Now that thief man chooses to stand in Pan Gu’s faction, I won’t let others benefit easily..."
"But nor will you benefit me," Ye Fan said. "With gains must come losses. Do you think I would do away with you for such a paltry profit? I won’t allow you to continue to dominate the cultivation world. The entire universe’s power should establish a new order. Only then can we prevent the next heavenly tribulation. Otherwise, even if we endure this one, when the next heavenly tribulation arrives, can you cultivate the next chosen one to resist all of this?"
After Ye Fan said this, Pan Gu and Nuwa seemed to fall into silence.
They seemed to be pondering the meaning in Ye Fan’s words, as what Ye Fan expressed was highly insightful, previously unconsidered by the two.
"Why does this human have the depth of thinking that reaches such a level?" Pan Gu suddenly mused.
Ye Fan said, "Because I am an outsider, outsiders see things more clearly. This reasoning you don’t understand, how pitiful!"
