Chapter 2238: Chapter 2234: Each with Their Own Schemes

What the Mystic Maiden wants to do, Nu Ying does not know, nor can she understand.

She wanted to fight the Mystic Maiden, but at this moment, she had no strength even to struggle, and even less qualification to be the Mystic Maiden’s rival.

While Nu Ying was thinking about how to escape, the Mystic Maiden had already completely imprisoned her, leaving her unable to break free.

“Now you only need to follow my orders. Do you think Xi He can help you now, or Ye Fan can? Everything I do now is to save you. If you don’t understand my actions, then you’re seeking your own death!”

After speaking, the Mystic Maiden had already made her move. The magic artifact in her hand emitted white light once again, and this time the white light illuminated the entire star field, as if the power of all surrounding star fields was converging toward her.

“You lunatic, you will eventually die a miserable death!” Nu Ying cursed, but it had no practical significance. After realizing that she was completely swallowed, she could only look for an exit in the darkness, but found herself already a pawn controlled by the Mystic Maiden.

…

…

This light, though appearing bright within the star field, is insignificant when placed in the entire universe.

The light will take billions of years to reach Earth, so no one will have much interest in it, but the eruption of this power is still perceived by Xi He on Earth.

“The Mystic Maiden indeed plans to scheme in secret. She thinks it’s meaningful, yet doesn’t realize it’s simply courting destruction. If the master knew, how would she handle it?”

Even if Xi He sensed the fluctuation of this power, she simply closed her eyes and didn’t want to deal with the matter.

In front of her, there stood a woman, it was Leizu. At the moment, Leizu was looking at an area beneath her feet in the Arctic. She heard Xi He’s words but seemed unconcerned with what the Mystic Maiden was doing.

“You say my daughter might be imprisoned by Ye Fan on Earth, and right here?” Leizu’s face showed eagerness, clearly more interested in searching for her daughter.

Xi He shook her head and said, “I haven’t promised to find her for you. I’m only trying to help you remember this wording: I’m helping you, not intending to harm you.”

“Who are you trying to fool? You say you’ll help me, but I clearly feel you’re using me!” Leizu said, “Now that Ye Fan has left, we seem no longer bound by anything, because even Pan Gu, Fu Xi, and Nuwa may no longer exist. Isn’t this the best opportunity for us?”

“Opportunity for what?” Xi He asked.

“Haha, what are you pretending in front of me? Isn’t it obvious? Don’t you have plans to dominate?” Leizu said, “The Mystic Maiden seems more ambitious than you. This is not the you I knew before.”

Xi He gently shook her head and said, “You’re mistaken; probably the person with the least ambition to dominate in this world is me. Why should I strive for dominance? It means nothing to me. Have you forgotten that I chose to leave rather than get involved in any great powers’ contest?” Xi He said.

“It’s not that you don’t want to strive; it’s knowing that striving holds no meaning. Compared to a title, against a legacy, I believe it’s incomparable, so don’t use this matter to deflect me. It’s meaningless!” Leizu said.

Xi He said, “Think whatever you want. If you don’t want me to help you find your daughter, just say so. I think it’s probably unnecessary for me to stay here to amuse myself…”

“Wait!” Leizu said, “Even if I take back my previous words, you should help me now. At least regard it as compensation for those things you did to me in the past!”

Xi He sneered but didn’t argue with Leizu any further. She closed her eyes as if perceiving something, but Leizu didn’t believe Xi He came here to help her find her daughter.

In Hua Hai City, Li Zhaojun and the other women were still waiting for the next round of celestial calamity to begin.

Min Shang looked at Li Zhaojun, who seemed deep in thought, and said: “Sister, what are you still worried about? Now we should be certain Fan has returned, right?”

“Whether it’s true or not doesn’t make much difference for us. What we need to do is actually helping Ye Fan. We are independently working on our own things,” Li Zhaojun said.

Min Shang appeared somewhat puzzled and said, “But we consistently helped Fan; sister, you know, my sole purpose has always been to help Ye Fan. If not for this, I might have long lost my direction in life.”

“Do you trust those around Ye Fan?” Li Zhaojun asked.

This left Min Shang unsure how to answer. Only after a long time did she shake her head and say, “Perhaps some things I haven’t handled well, especially those involving Ye Fan. Sister, I’m still so clumsy, unable to help you much.”

Li Zhaojun shook her head and said, “Now is not about discussing capabilities. Before Ye Fan, we hardly have any ability to pursue the so-called ultimate power. Besides you and I continuing our cultivation to improve, the other women had not even ceased practicing before Ye Fan’s return, nor knew what the ultimate meaning of cultivation was. How could any of them exert absolute influence within the array?”

“What sister is worried about is…” Min Shang looked at Li Zhaojun, sensing faint concern about what Li Zhaojun said but was not entirely certain.

Li Zhaojun said, “Clearly the final celestial calamity will be humanity’s greatest disaster. Previous disasters were just warm-ups; few planets were truly destroyed, Earth remained safe, and although some incidents occurred within Pan Gu’s secret realm, it hasn’t reached the final step of survival or destruction… If we reach the final step, what can our strength do to help Ye Fan?”

Min Shang seemed to understand something; she shook her head and said, “I dare not think about these matters and should leave them for sister’s concerns.”

Li Zhaojun helplessly said, “Actually, we should find ways to continue helping Ye Fan, rather than complain here. Unfortunately, my strength is not enough to perform these tasks. Not denying Ye Fan’s powerful strength, but also many deficiencies, now he likely does not remember past events, not even who we are. This is his greatest constraint! I fear… the final celestial calamity will come because of this. At that time, if Ye Fan cannot resist, it means total destruction of the universe!”

“Sister, is contemplating these matters too distant for us? We should remain optimistic. With Ye Fan, if we help him, isn’t everything solvable?” Min Shang enthusiastically said.

“Let’s hope so!” Li Zhaojun sighed, “When the final celestial calamity arrives, hopefully, everything can maintain its current state.”
