"Ye Fan, I think you’re not far from death. You know well enough how I feel about you. If I wanted to kill you, you would be utterly unable to resist. And now you say you want to make me your ally? Do you not know what the word ’death’ means?" Nuwa glared at Ye Fan and said sternly.
Ye Fan said, "I am very clear about your intentions toward me. Perhaps even I find this idea a bit crazy, but your power is now on par with mine. After the tribulation, my power will undoubtedly surpass yours. Don’t you want to kill Pan Gu and fulfill your own ambition?"
"And what about you?" Nuwa glared at Ye Fan and said.
"After overcoming the tribulation, I need to eliminate the greatest threat to me, which is Pan Gu. As for others... As long as they don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them either. I will retire and won’t compete with you and Fu Xi for power. Whether you achieve your own imperial enterprise or have someone else achieve it for you is your own choice. I won’t interfere with your affairs with Fu Xi. Right now, my most formidable enemy is Pan Gu," Ye Fan said.
Nuwa shook her head, refusing without a second thought, "Ye Fan, I admit you are indeed bold and meticulous. You know my conflict with Pan Gu, and you also understand Fu Xi’s wavering attitude. But this is meaningless. What I want is not for you to retreat to Earth or some place in Pan Gu’s secret realm but to kill you. The biggest difference between me and Pan Gu is that I have always been determined to kill you from the start, rather than preserving your identity and status like Pan Gu. Even if you die, I won’t find it a pity because you simply don’t qualify to stand among the ancient cultivators." Nuwa hissed.
Ye Fan said, "It seems you won’t agree to become my ally?"
"What do you want then? Do you want to kill me and take my life before the tribulation?" Nuwa said fiercely.
Ye Fan shook his head, "I’m not as ruthless as you imagine. Killing you now would mean making enemies of Pan Gu and Fu Xi. I’m not at the point of being fearless. The mutual non-aggression was a previous agreement, and since Pan Gu and Fu Xi are abiding by it, I won’t kill you, at least for now."
"What exactly do you want?" Nuwa looked at Ye Fan with a probing look in her eyes, "Humans have evolved to a point that violates my original intention of creating humanity. Your thoughts have shifted immensely; I don’t even know your true intentions, which is most frightening of all. Ye Fan, I won’t let you off. Seeing you now reminds me of all you’ve done to the ancient cultivators. Killing you would be too easy, and when the time comes, I won’t let you live peacefully..."
Ye Fan said, "It seems all you ancient cultivators love to threaten people. What’s the point of saying these things now? It only showcases your arrogant ignorance. You think you can rule everything in the world, but in the end, it’s those who created you who are truly ruling everything. Isn’t there a creator above them? It’s just a hierarchy."
"The scariest thing is that humans have their own thoughts. You should leave; I can sense Pan Gu is pursuing here. If you don’t want to be found by him, you’d better hide forever. After overcoming the tribulation, I’ll kill you too. Just wait and see." Nuwa finished speaking and closed her eyes, refusing to speak to Ye Fan any longer.
...
...
Ye Fan took Nuwa’s avatar and left the space where Nuwa was imprisoned.
Nuwa’s avatar seemed frustrated and said, "I didn’t expect to be just a creation by her. Why didn’t you kill her?"
"If I had the capacity to do so, perhaps I would. But the moment I attacked her, Pan Gu and Fu Xi would inevitably know my whereabouts. Do you think I never considered killing her?" Ye Fan said as he stood before the Sea of Death. At this moment, he was sure he could hide his aura from being detected by Pan Gu and Fu Xi. Facing the direction of the ocean, he asked, "You have achieved your previous wish, do you have any other unfulfilled desires?"
Nuwa’s avatar replied, "No more, it seems I can finally die, but I still long to witness her demise, that is what I truly desire..."
"Don’t demand too much." Ye Fan turned around and looked at Nuwa’s avatar, said, "I don’t even know how to address you, but to sustain your life requires my life energy. My life energy was learned from you Nuwa avatars and can’t support you for long."
Nuwa’s avatar said, "Nuwa is no longer my name. You should not refer to me as such moving forward, or... even if I perish, I don’t want others to view me as anyone’s avatar."
"Alright." Ye Fan nodded and said, "A person’s name is merely a code. If you want, you can give yourself a human name."
"I don’t need a name. Ye Fan, you’ve always been asking about that girl, and I still give the same answer—I don’t know her whereabouts," Nuwa’s avatar said, "She might be dead, or she might be stranded somewhere unknown. You should let go of finding her because it hinders your plans."
Ye Fan shook his head, "I want to find her because she has already become my woman. I didn’t expect to get her this way, but you... have also become my woman."
Ye Fan remembered what happened that day. At that time, Nuwa’s avatar disguised herself as Min Shang to plant that power within him, having Shen Yan disguise as Li Zhaojun. Ye Fan, due to his closeness with Shen Yan, didn’t even suspect that the nearby Min Shang was fake.
"Your methods were despicable, but your purpose was to kill and trap me. I don’t blame you, but you must help me find her. Only then can you receive my life energy supply to sustain your life. Before the tribulation, I wish not to waste any amount of energy. You understand my point, right?" Ye Fan said.
Nuwa’s avatar nodded, "Do as you wish. I’ll do my very best, but I also hope you’ll keep your promise—surely defeat Pan Gu and Fu Xi, these people created me and subjected me to all this suffering. This suffering must befall them; that is what I strive for."
Ye Fan evaluated Nuwa’s avatar, finding it challenging to comprehend this "shadow’s" mindset. Perhaps vengeance had become Nuwa’s avatar’s entirety, and Ye Fan had no right to criticize. Ye Fan sighed lightly and said, "Make your own choices, I won’t interfere, but remember if you defy my will, I won’t spare you."
