Ye Fan showed no courtesy to Nuwa, because the Nuwa before him was merely an avatar, not the actual Nuwa. In the past, Ye Fan didn’t understand this, but now he realized that Nuwa’s power was beyond his reach. Battling Nuwa now would be overly difficult; to defeat her, he could only first acquire some of the life force from her avatar.

The Nuwa avatar was now cornered against a wall, with Ye Fan’s elemental barrier surrounding her, leaving no room for escape.

When Ye Fan extended his arm, she found that the Spiritual Energy within her seemed to vanish instantly. Not only could she not contend with Ye Fan, but she couldn’t even project her Spiritual Energy, becoming like an ordinary mortal woman, completely at Ye Fan’s mercy.

"Lady Nuwa, do you enjoy this feeling of being dominated by others?" Ye Fan asked with a smile.

The Nuwa avatar looked lost, not knowing how to respond.

Ye Fan chuckled, "You are just a small part of Nuwa’s soul. You are her, yet not her. In front of me, you’re just an ordinary woman. I don’t wish to forcibly compel you. Now I only ask you, do you want to live or die..."

"You cannot kill me!" the Nuwa avatar declared.

Her words implied a desire to live, and Ye Fan sneered, "You carry the power of Nuwa’s true body. She’s using you to test her perfect character. You are a being crafted by her, merely imitating her own creations. If you don’t want me to kill you, you need to demonstrate your sincerity..."

Ye Fan’s attitude left the Nuwa avatar completely bewildered.

She always believed she was the original, aiming to annihilate all life in the world. Only now did she realize that what she did before was merely an obsession planted by Nuwa’s true self.

"Are you trying to observe my reactions to gauge those of my true self, to determine how to kill her?" the Nuwa avatar questioned sharply.

Ye Fan smiled, "I don’t care about your reactions. I only know that right now, you can become my cauldron. If you want to trade for life, you must offer up the residual power of Nuwa within you. Is that not reasonable?"

"You... Why should I give it to you..." The Nuwa avatar responded anxiously.

"Do not worry. Those have nothing to do with your life. Even if you give them to me, I can still ensure your safety. In the future, I will defeat many like you. I promise, apart from you, both avatars and the true body will be slain by me. Then, you will be the true Nuwa, and the task of creating life will fall solely on you!" Ye Fan declared.

The Nuwa avatar was momentarily bewildered.

This was a revolution to her worldview and values. A mere human was now threatening her, who always considered herself an exalted deity.

Yet now, listening to Ye Fan, if she didn’t ally with him, she faced certain death. Ye Fan would enlist other avatars, using them for life force continuance to slay the true Nuwa, leaving her with no consciousness or existence, merely a casualty in Nuwa’s and Ye Fan’s struggle.

"What’s the matter, not considering it?" Ye Fan extended his hand, a powerful elemental force forming in his palm.

This force’s release would shatter the Nuwa avatar entirely, her soul utterly destroyed.

After much thought, the Nuwa avatar nodded, "Alright, as long as you help me, not only can you have me or whatever, I can also sign a Blood Oath with you. But you must ensure my safety, and in the future, help me defeat the true body!"

"It’s a deal!" Ye Fan’s smile was slightly sly.

The Nuwa avatar closed her eyes and said, "From this moment, I am yours..."

Ye Fan shook his head slightly, "I don’t want a puppet that I control. I want a woman whose sincerity I can feel. Even if you don’t understand some things, your wisdom surpasses that of an ordinary human woman. Do I need to teach you everything?"

The Nuwa avatar hesitated briefly. She soon realized she was an abandoned piece, constantly discarded by all sides. Even Chang Yi and Lei Zu wanted her dead, let alone Xi He, Xuan Nu, and the like. If the true Nuwa found her to be a failed experiment, she would undoubtedly be killed.

Her existence’s purpose was to serve as the scapegoat for the true Nuwa’s deeds.

Now, Ye Fan was willing to forgive past grievances and offered her help, a lifeline amidst despair. If she didn’t seize this opportunity, it would be akin to awaiting death.

"I..." The Nuwa avatar felt conflicted because she barely understood human matters.

She created these things, but many were not executed personally, like a god creating a robot yet never attempting to perform the robot’s actions themselves.

"What, unwilling to fulfill your promise?" Ye Fan laughed coldly.

"No... I will!"

The Nuwa avatar became tense, her whole body trembling slightly.

Ye Fan said, "Understand this, your sole purpose is to replace Nuwa. My keeping you is for that reason. If you succeed, I won’t need other avatars. Otherwise, I will kill you, for there are more than just you among Nuwa’s avatars!"

"Yes!" The Nuwa avatar trembled, finally kneeled before Ye Fan.

She knew this was the lowest level of human etiquette.

In kneeling, she effectively removed all defensive capabilities. If Ye Fan were to strike her from the front, she would have no strength to resist.

In truth, even if Ye Fan didn’t attack her directly, she had no other path to survival.

"Very good!" Ye Fan felt satisfied with the Nuwa before him. Her aura, always exalted, kindled within him the desire to conquer these ancient female cultivators, yet he knew the true Nuwa was not one to be easily conquered.

Now, with Xi He and Xuan Nu already his servants, his next step was complete submission of Nuwa, starting with her avatars.

The true Nuwa was unlikely to bow, a creator of life not to be controlled by her creations. Ye Fan planned to learn how to deal with Nuwa through her avatars, to defeat and even kill her completely.

For Nuwa’s nature was volatile, making her a potential doomsday force.

"There are no more instructions from me!" Ye Fan walked to the sofa, sat down, and beckoned slightly, "I’ll watch your performance!"
