"Lady, we meet again!" Yun Fan said.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not your wife!" Fan Xian's tone was a little timid, and her face was even more flushed. Why did this guy always call her "wife"? She knew that before this, she and Yun Fan had never met, nor had they had any interaction. Yet, she had a feeling that she was Yun Fan's wife.
Yun Fan smiled and said, "Not yet, but you will be! Though it might be a long time from now!"
At this moment, Fan Xian asked, "What are you doing here?" Clearly, Yun Fan was a man who, despite having no contact with her, had captured her heart, making Fan Xian extremely conflicted. She didn't want Yun Fan to see her in such a state of impending doom.
But Yun Fan said, "I'm here to save you!"
"Save me?" Fan Xian said, "I appreciate your kind intentions, but you know that my injury is irreversible because I've been tormented by an ominous force. Please don't get yourself involved!" She already knew the origin of her injury, likely from the sneak attack the other day, and at this moment, she didn't want Yun Fan to be infected. After all, this ominous force was too terrifying; if she hadn't suppressed it with all her might, it would have spread long ago.
Yun Fan then said, "It's alright, I have plenty of ways to save you! But before that, can you not resist?"
"Alright!" Fan Xian finally agreed. She didn't know why, but she inexplicably trusted Yun Fan without reservation.
Finally, Yun Fan took action to heal Fan Xian. As expected, with his increasing strength, suppressing the immortal curse was now as easy as playing. With his intervention, Fan Xian was ultimately restored to her original state. Even Fan Xian was deeply shaken by this sight; such a method was truly heaven-defying!
"There are no major issues anymore," Yun Fan said. "Lady, you will no longer be tormented by the immortal curse!"
In fact, Yun Fan was troubled. While his knowledge of the future had indeed altered some developmental paths, it hadn't changed history. Chi Cheng had retired, and Fan Xian was about to seal herself. But by resolving Fan Xian's immortal curse early, would he disrupt the overall balance?
At this moment, the Undying Sacred Lord arrived. "Senior!" Yun Fan said respectfully.
The Undying Sacred Lord said, "Young friend, I can see the worries in your heart."
"Mhm!" Yun Fan didn't hide his feelings and readily admitted them.
The Undying Sacred Lord said, "The changes you've made have had no impact on the grand scheme of things. You can rest assured about this!" Hearing this, Yun Fan finally relaxed.
"You are a person from the future. Although you don't belong to this era, you are the savior of heaven and earth!" the Undying Sacred Lord said. "Therefore, since you have arrived in this era, we must also make arrangements in advance!" According to the normal course of history, many people would die. Thus, the Undying Sacred Lord prepared to play a game of chess, preserving their strength for the future without disrupting the historical progression, as this era was not the final battle. The future era was the true final battle. A single misstep could lead to complete defeat. If they didn't preserve themselves, according to the normal historical rhythm, the future pressure would fall entirely on Yun Fan alone. Faced with such a catastrophe, even Yun Fan couldn't bear it.
Fan Xian was astonished. "You're really from the future?" If Yun Fan had said it alone, she might have had doubts, but the Undying Sacred Lord's confirmation made her internal shock unavoidable.
Yun Fan said, "That's right, lady. You live to the future, and in the future, we are husband and wife!"
"What?" Fan Xian had wondered why she felt such a strong sense of familiarity with Yun Fan. So, all of this was true.
The Undying Sacred Lord chuckled. "Indeed, not only are you husband and wife in the future, but you are also his strongest supporting force in the calamities of heaven and earth!" At this, Fan Xian was stunned. It turned out that all of this was predestined.
Fan Xian then asked, "If you are truly my husband, what should I do next?" Although Fan Xian didn't have much affection for Yun Fan at this moment, unlike her future self who would love him desperately, she also knew she couldn't change the course of history, lest it bring undue pressure on Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Lady, it's simple. Just seal yourself. We will meet again in the future!" Facing Yun Fan's comfort, Fan Xian asked him, "Can my Senior Sister and Master also live to the future?" Undoubtedly, Fan Xian had only two people she cared about in this world: her Master and her Senior Sister. Even though she had been expelled by her Master, they were still her closest kin. As for the present and the future, her feelings for Yun Fan were not yet deeply ingrained. It was only after her second life that she would develop that feeling, and by then, Yun Fan would be the only one she would willingly die for.
Yun Fan said, "Your Master's fate is uncertain, but your Senior Sister will definitely live on, because like you, she is also my wife!"
"Hateful!" Fan Xian hadn't expected Yun Fan to have also won over her Senior Sister. In fact, Yun Fan had not only won over her Senior Sister but also her Master. However, these things couldn't be said now; at least, Yun Fan dared not say them. No, it was her Master who had "won over" Yun Fan. The Hundred Flowers Fairy, as the most beautiful woman in the Primordial Immortal Realm, had even gone to the wrong door, which left Yun Fan speechless.
Fan Xian then said to Yun Fan, "I will choose to seal myself and meet you in the future. As for my Master, I hope you can help her once, to prevent her from perishing in this era!" This was Fan Xian's plea to Yun Fan.
"Don't worry, lady, I will definitely help your Master overcome the difficulties!" Yun Fan gave his assurance.
"Mhm!" Fan Xian looked at Yun Fan deeply, then said to the Undying Sacred Lord, "Senior, please seal me!"
"Alright!" For the Undying Sacred Lord, this was a trivial matter. He then channeled his sacred lord's power and sealed Fan Xian. After sealing Fan Xian, the Undying Sacred Lord said to Yun Fan, "Young friend, this era is destined to perish, even with your arrival. However, with you here, we can make arrangements in advance to preserve our fighting strength for the future!" This was the Undying Sacred Lord's suggestion.
Yun Fan strongly agreed with this suggestion. "Senior, as long as the course of this era is not altered, it's fine!" He didn't want the people around him to disappear with the changing tides of history.
The Undying Sacred Lord smiled. "You can rest assured. I will join forces with the others to play a game of chess, and it will not affect the course of history!" Although it was difficult, he was confident. Moreover, if the process was altered and Yun Fan was never born, then everything would be in vain.
Yun Fan then said, "Senior, this is a matter for the powerful at your level. I will not participate, as my involvement wouldn't change anything!"
"Mhm!" The Undying Sacred Lord said, "You don't need to participate; we will handle it!"
"Senior, can I still go back?" This was Yun Fan's most despairing thought. If he couldn't go back, everything would be terrible, and he would have to follow the flow of time. What an incredibly long and tedious period that would be. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of years, in Yun Fan's opinion, it might be millions or even tens of millions of years. The span was too vast. It was so vast that he didn't even have the courage to face it.
The Undying Sacred Lord said, "Young friend, your arrival is entirely an accident. I can tell you clearly that even a Sacred Lord cannot reverse history!"
"So, I can't go back?" Yun Fan's expression instantly turned to despair.
But the Undying Sacred Lord smiled. "Not necessarily. There is always a way. You can rest assured about this. The one who tied the bell must untie it; how you came is how you can go back!" From this, Yun Fan realized that the Heart of the Curse was the best way for him to return, but it was even more impossible to get the Heart of the Curse to help him. Moreover, the Heart of the Curse, now that it had manifested as female, had completely become a woman and wouldn't help him. However, for Yun Fan, it wasn't entirely hopeless. As long as he found an opportunity to have a desperate confrontation with the Heart of the Curse again and open a temporal tunnel, he could completely return to the future.
Yun Fan then asked, "Senior, do you know the origin of the immortal curse?" In the Primordial Immortal Realm, it was called "ominousness"; in his era, the Great Thousand Era, it was called the "immortal curse." They were essentially the same, and there was no need to dwell on it.
The Undying Sacred Lord said, "I've heard of it, but whether it's true is another matter!"
"Please enlighten me, Senior!" Yun Fan wanted to know the source. He speculated that this era might be the origin of the immortal curse.
The Undying Sacred Lord said, "Legend has it that in the chaotic primordial times, before any life was born, when everything was reduced to zero, the Heavenly Emperor opened up the world and evolved it, thus giving birth to life! All living beings were subjects of the Heavenly Emperor. But one day, the Heavenly Emperor fell into contemplation. He created these lives, so he was their creator. Then, who was his creator? Where did he come from? Thus, he began to search for the origin of all truth. Unexpectedly, on his journey, he was infected by an ancient power, leading to his demise. This power, more ancient than the Heavenly Emperor, was the ominous force. Before his death, the Heavenly Emperor suppressed it countless times, but ultimately failed. Thus, the ominousness scattered throughout the mortal world. There has been ominousness in countless eras, but this era and your era have the most terrifying ominousness!"
"The Heavenly Emperor created the world, while ominousness is the force of destruction!" Upon hearing this, Yun Fan finally understood the reason. Was this world so idle that they had to pursue such things? Now, it had directly led to the greatest disaster in heaven and earth, causing suffering to them, the subjects created by the Heavenly Emperor.
The Undying Sacred Lord said, "Young friend, you are the first being since the Heavenly Emperor's creation who can suppress the ominousness. Therefore, you are the hope. No matter how many eras pass, I firmly believe that with you, we can defeat the source of the calamity!" He wasn't trying to inflate Yun Fan's ego; Yun Fan truly possessed the ability. Honestly, Yun Fan didn't want to be a savior. But if he didn't save the world, his loved ones would all die. Therefore, for Yun Fan, it was a forced endeavor. However, since he was so special, why not go all out?
"I understand, Senior!" Yun Fan said. "I cannot participate in your game, but I must deal with one person. This person might be the key to my return!" That's why I didn't make a move when she was at my Undying Immortal Mountain!" To the Undying Sacred Lord, her existence was like child's play, but he couldn't intervene, as everything had to be resolved by Yun Fan.
The Undying Sacred Lord then said, "Young friend, your physique is different from everyone else's, so your path to breakthrough will not be smooth. Even I cannot directly help you break through to Sacred Venerable!" This was the Undying Sacred Lord's predicament.
Yun Fan replied, "There's no need for that. I'll find a way myself!"
"Mhm!" The Undying Sacred Lord said, "Although I cannot directly help you break through, undeniably, I can bestow upon you a great fortune!"
"Thank you, Senior!" Yun Fan was grateful. He loved great fortunes the most. Afterward, the Undying Sacred Lord gave Yun Fan a spiritual root from the Undying Immortal Mountain. Undoubtedly, this was an extremely significant fortune. Yun Fan directly refined the spiritual root, expecting to smoothly break through to the Sacred Venerable realm, given his strength. However, to his despair, although the power was sufficient, there was still a limiting condition: his comprehension was not up to par. In this case, even a forced breakthrough to Sacred Venerable would not make him invincible among peers. This was what troubled Yun Fan the most. So many things to deal with every day.
The Undying Sacred Lord also noticed Yun Fan's helplessness and knew that under the current circumstances, Yun Fan couldn't defeat his nemesis without breaking through to Sacred Venerable. Therefore, he immediately said to Yun Fan, "Young friend, to comprehend the true essence, you need to go to your Zhan Tian clan's base camp!" This was the path he pointed out to Yun Fan.
Yun Fan said, "Alright, I'll go then!"
"Go!" The Undying Sacred Lord said, "Your Zhan Tian clan's patriarch is a rising star, but he is definitely the number one Sacred Lord!"
"Alright!" Afterward, the Undying Sacred Lord also said, "He is also one of our allies. You go first, and I will go to unite with another friend!"
...
A day later, Yun Fan bid farewell to the Undying Sacred Lord and headed towards Zhan Tian. Because, at this moment, breaking through to Sacred Venerable was his objective. Only by breaking through to Sacred Venerable could he completely suppress the Heart of the Curse; otherwise, in the current situation, he could at best be on par with the Heart of the Curse, or even weaker. This was the predicament Yun Fan faced.
A month later, Yun Fan was nearing the borders of Zhan Tian. However, at this moment, he once again faced his nemesis. Yes, this nemesis was the Heart of the Curse, possessing peerless beauty and overshadowing the number one beauty.
"Kid, if I'm not mistaken, you're going to Zhan Tian to break through, aren't you?" She looked at Yun Fan coldly. At this moment, she had completely transformed into a woman. Unlike before, she was not accustomed to it, even resistant. But now, she had completely accepted it. It was not for any other reason than the fact that the immortal curse that formed her body destined her to be a woman. Her previous temporary manifestation of male characteristics was merely because she had just formed an illusory form and became whatever she saw. This form was her true essence. Undoubtedly, if she weren't the immortal curse, any man would be captivated by such beauty at first sight. She was incredibly beautiful.
Yun Fan sneered. "You're quite bold. I haven't sought you out, yet you've come to my doorstep! What? Do you still want to kill me?" Yun Fan knew that he had to rely on the Heart of the Curse to return, so at this moment, he hoped to provoke the Heart of the Curse into a desperate fight, and then be sent back. Of course, the Heart of the Curse would also have to return. Otherwise, what if the Heart of the Curse grew stronger and altered history?
The Heart of the Curse said, "Kill you? You're indeed no match for me now, but it's impossible for me to kill you, so I won't be so foolish as to fight you to the death!"
"So, you've chickened out? I don't care if you're a man or a woman, but if you don't dare to act, you're inferior to me. I thought you were so capable, but it turns out you're just so-so. Coward!" Facing Yun Fan's mockery, the Heart of the Curse was filled with rage at this moment, wishing she could kill Yun Fan on the spot. But then she said, "You're using such malicious words simply to provoke me into a fight, and then use the ultimate power unleashed by our fight to return to the later era. Do you think I wouldn't know?"
"Don't you want to go back?" Yun Fan asked, confused.
But the Heart of the Curse disdainfully said, "Go back? Why would I go back? In the later era, I was suppressed by you. Here, you can't suppress me. I want to change this era, make you disappear in the later era, and then no one in this world will be my opponent. I want to be the Queen of Destruction!" This was the Heart of the Curse's goal.
Yun Fan said, "Although you have an advantage in this era, don't forget that this era is the home ground of my myriad races! You won't succeed!"
"Then let's see who gets the last laugh. I can guarantee that in the future, not only will your friends and relatives not exist, but neither will you. As long as I annihilate the Zhan Tian clan, your lineage will be completely severed!" This was the Heart of the Curse's very clear objective. If she wiped out the Zhan Tian clan in this era, Yun Fan would surely perish.
Yun Fan said directly, "You think too highly of yourself. Let alone in the future, you won't escape today!" The next moment, Yun Fan charged forward. Opportunities are not given; they must be earned. If the Heart of the Curse didn't want to fight him, then he had to be proactive and kill her.
The Heart of the Curse let out a cold laugh. Before Yun Fan could reach her, her figure gradually dissipated.
"What's going on?" Yun Fan was stunned. He now realized that this was not the true form of the Heart of the Curse.
"Are you feeling despair right now?" the Heart of the Curse taunted disdainfully.
Yun Fan calmly said, "Then you might be mistaken. I don't feel despair at all right now; instead, I am filled with confidence. You will soon know that your so-called dreams and ambitions mean nothing to me, because the one who will defeat you is me!" Hearing this, the Heart of the Curse said coldly, "I declare war on you here. One day, you will discover that in the face of cruel reality, you can only disappear bit by bit, unable to do anything." With that, the Heart of the Curse vanished.
"Damn it!" Yun Fan was furious but could do nothing about her. Now, what he needed to do was break through to Sacred Venerable. Only by breaking through to Sacred Venerable could he suppress her. Helplessly, Yun Fan arrived at Zhan Tian. What he didn't know was that although he hadn't physically arrived at the Zhan Tian clan yet, he had already become famous there.
"Father, my brother is so formidable! I firmly believe that when he returns to the Zhan Tian clan in the future, he will definitely become the strongest existence in our Zhan Tian clan. No! He will become the strongest existence in the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, and even be comparable to the Creator Heavenly Emperor in the future!" Today, Zhan Tian Wuhen, having drunk too much, was once again extolling Yun Fan's power and potential to his father, Zhan Tian Ao.
Zhan Tian Ao was speechless. Was this son annoying or what? It could be said that ever since Zhan Tian Wuhen returned, he had publicized all of Yun Fan's deeds. Now, who in the entire Zhan Tian clan didn't know Yun Fan's name? He was the invincible existence that Zhan Tian Wuhen spoke of. However, everyone generally held a skeptical view, as Zhan Tian Wuhen was known for his bragging; his bragging ability definitely surpassed his actual strength.
"Wuhen, you've received a remote invitation from the Undying Sacred Lord. Your grandfather will be coming out of seclusion soon. You are not allowed to cause trouble in front of your grandfather, otherwise, I won't be able to stop him if he punishes you!" Zhan Tian Ao warned. He knew that given Zhan Tian Wuhen's personality, he would definitely brag to Zhan Tian Bu Bai. With Zhan Tian Bu Bai's temperament, Zhan Tian Wuhen would definitely be taught a lesson. Thus, he warned Zhan Tian Wuhen in advance.
"Father, you're overthinking it. Does my brother still need me to praise him? His strength cannot be described in words. Anyway, he's an existence that can suppress everything!" Zhan Tian Ao's face darkened. Why did he have such a bragging son? He was defeated.
Just then, a voice echoed, "Wuhen, who are you saying can suppress everything?" In the next moment, a figure appeared. He was the number one expert of the Primordial Era, Zhan Tian Bu Bai, the leader of the Four Sacred Lords and the founder of the Zhan Tian clan. Although his era was ancient, he didn't look old; at most, he appeared middle-aged. He was the type of person who, even without unleashing his power, made you feel that he was an invincible existence just by standing there. This was the pressure of being the Primordial Number One. In fact, if one calculated by age, he was far more than just the Primordial Number One! Even in Yun Fan's era, there were no such terrifying experts.
Zhan Tian Wuhen immediately boasted, "Of course, it's my brother! Grandfather, you might not know, but our Zhan Tian clan has produced an extraordinary figure. Although his bloodline is the Zhan Tian bloodline, it is the strongest bloodline among our Zhan Tian clan. No! It's not limited to our Zhan Tian clan; it's the strongest throughout the entire Primordial Immortal Realm!" This was Zhan Tian Wuhen's pride.
"Wuhen, isn't that a bit too arrogant? Are there any bloodlines in the entire Primordial Immortal Realm stronger than your grandfather's?" Zhan Tian Bu Bai was slightly displeased. According to his grandson's words, even his bloodline would be trampled underfoot. He refused to believe such an existence.
"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but setting aside strength, in terms of bloodline, even your bloodline would be utterly crushed, the kind of crushing that tramples them underfoot!" At this, Zhan Tian Ao was petrified. Wouldn't this kid get himself beaten? Not only Zhan Tian Wuhen but perhaps he would be beaten too. He had wanted to stop him but realized it was too late. As expected, at this moment, the more Zhan Tian Wuhen boasted, the angrier Zhan Tian Bu Bai became. This grandson had no foresight. He was the originator of the Zhan Tian bloodline! Even if his descendants' bloodlines were more powerful, they couldn't surpass his bloodline. To think that his grandson would directly slap his face. It was impossible for him not to be angry.
"Slap!" In the next moment, Zhan Tian Wuhen was sent flying.
"Bold! I don't believe you! In this world, let alone the Zhan Tian bloodline, even other bloodlines cannot be as strong as mine, let alone surpass it!"
"Father, please calm your anger and don't stoop to his level!" Zhan Tian Ao quickly appeased him.
"Hmph!" Zhan Tian Bu Bai snorted, finally deciding to let Zhan Tian Wuhen off the hook.
"Come here quickly and apologize to your grandfather!" Zhan Tian Ao scolded Zhan Tian Wuhen. As long as he could appease the old man, he wouldn't be dragged into it. Otherwise, he would be in danger too. To his surprise, Zhan Tian Wuhen said, "I won't!"
"What did you say?" Zhan Tian Bu Bai was almost furious. Zhan Tian Wuhen said directly, "Grandfather, it's undeniable that you are the originator of the Zhan Tian bloodline, but as the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, beating the waves ahead to death on the beach! You are strong, but you can't deny that others can be stronger than you!" There was no Yangtze River here, only a Tai Jiang river that flowed through the entire Primordial Immortal Realm. At this, Zhan Tian Bu Bai could no longer sit still and directly proceeded to beat Zhan Tian Wuhen. As for Zhan Tian Ao, there was no question of intervening. At this point, the correct course of action was to stay as far away as possible, otherwise, when his father got angry, he wouldn't spare him either. Finally, Zhan Tian Bu Bai had vented his anger, and Zhan Tian Wuhen had been beaten into a pulp.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Yun Fan arrived. Upon receiving the news, the previously aggrieved Zhan Tian Wuhen knew his chance for a comeback had arrived. This time, he would let his grandfather witness what a strengthened Zhan Tian bloodline was and let his grandfather know how powerful his brother Yun Fan was.
"Very good, I'd like to see if his bloodline is as strong as you brag about, otherwise, I'll beat not only you but him as well!"
"Just watch, Grandfather, you won't have the chance!" Zhan Tian Wuhen said triumphantly.
At this moment, upon seeing Yun Fan, the grandfather and grandson trio were instantly stunned. As members of the Zhan Tian clan, they had a bloodline connection. The first thing they felt was the powerful bloodline emanating from Yun Fan.
"It really surpasses Father!" Zhan Tian Ao looked at Yun Fan in shock, not at the strength of Yun Fan's power, but at his bloodline. In terms of bloodline, although Yun Fan's bloodline was the Zhan Tian bloodline, its power surpassed that of any other Zhan Tian clan expert. Even his father, Zhan Tian Bu Bai, the originator of the Zhan Tian bloodline, was far inferior to Yun Fan. Undoubtedly, he was stunned at this moment. Of course, even more shocked was Zhan Tian Bu Bai. He hadn't expected Yun Fan's bloodline to truly be stronger than his own. For a later generation to surpass the originator was unheard of in the Primordial Immortal Realm, but undeniably, Yun Fan had achieved it. He now realized that Zhan Tian Wuhen had truly not been bragging this time; Yun Fan's bloodline was indeed the strongest of the current era. Even excluding the Zhan Tian clan factor, Yun Fan's bloodline was an invincible existence.
"See?" Zhan Tian Wuhen put his arm around Yun Fan's shoulder and said, "Isn't my brother's bloodline the strongest? You have to admit it, whether you like it or not!" This was Zhan Tian Wuhen's pride, as if his own bloodline was powerful. At this moment, he almost blurted out the term "bumpkins," but the other party was his grandfather and father. Saying this might lead to an even worse beating. Therefore, at this moment, Zhan Tian Wuhen had to succumb to power and become very reserved.
Yun Fan felt awkward but still said, "Junior Yun Fan, greetings to all ancestors!"
"Ancestor?" Zhan Tian Wuhen and Zhan Tian Ao were both very confused. Why did Yun Fan elevate their辈分 (generation) so much from the moment he spoke? But Zhan Tian Bu Bai had seen through Yun Fan's identity.
"Brother, there's no need to be so low-key!" Zhan Tian Wuhen advised Yun Fan.
"Slap!" In the next moment, he was sent flying again by Zhan Tian Bu Bai, looking quite disheveled. Zhan Tian Bu Bai cursed, "Fool, he is indeed our descendant, and even has to call you great-grandfather!" Hearing this, Zhan Tian Wuhen was instantly stunned. He hadn't expected to acknowledge his own descendant as a brother. If anyone else had said it, he wouldn't have believed it, but his grandfather wouldn't lie to him. In fact, Yun Fan was just as awkward. He had already made it very clear, but this great-grandfather wouldn't listen to advice. What could he do?
Yun Fan then said, "Great-grandfather, I tried to explain to you before, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Are you really my descendant?" Zhan Tian Wuhen asked in shock. "Then how did you come to this era?" After all, Zhan Tian Wuhen had no offspring yet. This meant Yun Fan was not from this era but a later arrival.
Yun Fan said, "It's a long story. I'll explain it slowly later!"
"Good! Very good!" Zhan Tian Bu Bai said, "I didn't expect my Zhan Tian clan to produce a prodigy like you. Truly remarkable!" Zhan Tian Bu Bai couldn't help but praise Yun Fan. In fact, like the Undying Sacred Lord, he had seen through Yun Fan's identity and future. Therefore, it was impossible for him not to be emotional. As he praised Yun Fan more and more, Zhan Tian Ao and Zhan Tian Wuhen were shocked, as Zhan Tian Bu Bai never praised anyone. The main reason was that in the entire Primordial Immortal Realm, there seemed to be no one worthy of Zhan Tian Bu Bai's praise. After all, from any perspective, let alone surpassing him, even reaching his level was rare. Therefore, he didn't rely on jealousy but on strength to never praise anyone. Now, seeing Yun Fan, he couldn't help but praise him.
"Thank you for your praise, ancestor. I am merely a rising star, how can I be compared to ancestor!" Yun Fan said humbly. After all, Zhan Tian Bu Bai had just praised him, saying that in the future, he would be no weaker than himself. Although he would surpass him, the face-saving Zhan Tian Bu Bai insisted on saying Yun Fan was comparable to him. Wasn't that right? Look at the way people spoke. Zhan Tian Ao was very satisfied with Yun Fan's performance, much better than his own son. However, Zhan Tian Ao was also very proud. After all, when it came down to it, Yun Fan was his descendant, just separated by a long period.
Zhan Tian Bu Bai then said to Yun Fan, "Grandson, how did you come to this era?" Yun Fan was his descendant, so calling him grandson was not excessive. Afterward, Yun Fan explained, and Zhan Tian Bu Bai realized how difficult Yun Fan's journey had been. He also didn't expect that the Zhan Tian clan would be annihilated in the late Primordial Immortal Realm, and even be wiped out to the point of discontinuity. They were even worse off than the most obscure races in the Primordial Immortal Realm. Fortunately, even though they were annihilated to the point of discontinuity, they still produced Yun Fan, the existence with the strongest bloodline throughout history. This was the best consolation for the Zhan Tian clan. Yun Fan continued to explain the situation to them, and they realized the gravity of the matter.
"Grandson, you say we will all die?" Zhan Tian Wuhen addressed him familiarly, as before, he had called Yun Fan his brother.
Yun Fan said sadly, "Yes, according to the normal course of history, it's like this!" Although deeply moved, Zhan Tian Wuhen still patted Yun Fan on the shoulder and said, "Grandson, even if our Zhan Tian clan is annihilated to the point of discontinuity, we will cease to exist, but having you is enough! You are my pride!"
Yun Fan then said, "Ancestor, you don't need to be too pessimistic. The Undying Sacred Lord said he would play a game of chess, and perhaps it's possible to achieve it without affecting the course of history. You will live to the later era!" This was Yun Fan's only hope at the moment. The three nodded. If such a method really existed, it would be even better. If not, they would not alter the course of history. Because Yun Fan's potential was too heaven-defying, if they survived and Yun Fan didn't exist in this world, then nothing could be changed.
Zhan Tian Bu Bai said, "Grandson, rest assured, we will find a way to survive and help you in the future. I will go to discuss it with the Undying Sacred Lord and the others as soon as possible. But before that, I already know your intention. I will help you break through to Sacred Venerable!"
"Thank you, ancestor!" Yun Fan said gratefully. However, Zhan Tian Wuhen said, "Grandson, you don't need to be polite. This is your home. Although we are from different eras, I also hope you will surpass everyone in the Zhan Tian clan. Even grandfather, the founder, you have to leave him in the dust!" At this, Zhan Tian Bu Bai was enraged. He finally understood that Zhan Tian Wuhen hadn't been beaten enough.
Yun Fan and Zhan Tian Ao quickly slipped away. At this moment, Zhan Tian Wuhen also reacted. His grandfather was going to beat him again, but at this moment, he was unhurried. "Grandfather, you've seen it yourself. My bloodline is stronger than yours. If you hit me now, you're afraid of facing reality!" At this, Zhan Tian Bu Bai coldly asked, "Let me ask you, when you came in just now, did your left foot enter first or your right foot?" Zhan Tian Wuhen thought for a moment and finally said, "Right foot, what's wrong?"
"I'll beat..." In the next moment, Zhan Tian Wuhen was beaten into a pulp.
...
A day later, Yun Fan arrived at the place where Zhan Tian Bu Bai was in seclusion. Zhan Tian Bu Bai said to Yun Fan, "Grandson, when I was young, I saw the unfairness and heartlessness of the Heavenly Dao, so I vowed to fight against heaven and created the Zhan Tian bloodline! The characteristic of my Zhan Tian bloodline is that the more you fight, the stronger you become. In the same realm, you can suppress all existences. This is fighting against heaven. One day, even heaven will have to submit!" These words were extremely domineering. Although the ancestor did not achieve the submission of heaven, he did achieve invincibility, true invincibility. Therefore, Yun Fan held deep admiration for this ancestor.
"This is the will of the Zhan Tian clan. I have always kept it in my heart!" Yun Fan said firmly.
"That's good!" Zhan Tian Bu Bai said, "You are different. Although you also have the Zhan Tian bloodline, you have surpassed all bloodlines. Therefore, my requirements for you will be ten times, even a hundred times stricter. Can you do it?"
"I can!" Yun Fan said firmly. Although this statement was a bit of a brag, the atmosphere had been built up to this point; he had to be able to do it, otherwise, it wouldn't fit his persona. Zhan Tian Bu Bai said, "I want you to be able to fight beyond your level. Therefore, next, I will unlock the potential of your bloodline. Are you ready?"
"Always ready!"
