Invincible Young Master in the City-Chapter 1572 - 1568: Ancient Goddess

Ye Fan returned to Taiyuan Star, but the space-time where Li Zhaojun was located had completely collapsed, and he still couldn’t find Li Zhaojun.

"Strange, Li Zhaojun, that little girl, couldn’t possibly leave the space-time on her own. It’s already frightening that she could open a passage going forward, and now she actually escaped in reverse?" Xuan Nu remarked incredulously.

Ye Fan frowned and said, "I opened the space-time gates both forward and backward without feeling it was complicated at all!"

"That’s you, not others. Do you know why that space-time collapsed? It’s because the elemental power within you is too strong. In all space-times, you are the most dangerous existence because you can alter the flow of time. In the normal space-time, you are the most terrifying guardian. If you trigger a certain threshold in the reverse space-time, it will surely collapse!" As Xuan Nu spoke, she scrutinized the woman Ye Fan had brought out from the different space-time.

At this moment, they were hovering over Taiyuan Star, since various strange energy entities continued to flow rampantly on the star, so dangerous that even Ye Fan didn’t dare to be careless.

"Who exactly is she?" Ye Fan demanded.

"You tell us, who are you?" Xuan Nu glared at the woman, "We haven’t seen you for years. After meeting again, we should exchange pleasantries, but your past deeds are so despicable; both Lei Zu and I have become soul bodies because of you..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan was puzzled. Could this captivating woman be not a woman but a man?

Ye Fan mused, "Previously Xi He always said that the villain behind turning Lei Zu and Xuan Nu into soul bodies was indeed a man who bore them children. Could it be this person?"

The woman smiled and said, "Xuan Nu, some things need to be clarified. How you and Lei Zu became soul bodies has nothing to do with me. In fact, my original body died thousands of years ago, and had I not hidden within the river of time, even my soul wouldn’t remain intact. There, I restored my body with a tiny bit of elemental power, yet upon returning to this space-time, I’m still treated like a monster."

Ye Fan noticed that although this captivating woman had left the different space-time, her body hadn’t reverted to a substantial form. It appeared cobbled together with some material, forever a fake body rather than a real one.

"What’s going on?" Ye Fan asked.

Xuan Nu replied coldly, "She’s like me and Lei Zu, all transformed into soul bodies. Lei Zu and I chose to utilize the origin power of Earth or other planets to keep our bodily energy from completely dissipating. Because she possesses elemental power, she chose to leave the normal space-time and survive in a different one! Her soul can indeed leave the different space-time, and her dark power is also frightening. Last time I met her on Taiyuan Star, I never expected it would be her!"

"Who exactly is she!?" Ye Fan was a bit annoyed; after all this time, Xuan Nu had not revealed the woman’s true identity.

Xuan Nu said, "Her original name was Chang Yi. Her power among ancient cultivators wasn’t strong, but she practiced many insidious and eccentric cultivation techniques, such as elemental power, explaining her escape from normal space-time!"

"Chang Yi?" Ye Fan wasn’t very familiar with the identities of ancient cultivators, and as for this woman’s origins, he wasn’t clear either.

Xuan Nu asked Chang Yi, "Do you know who he is?"

Chang Yi laughed and said, "Of course I know, he’s the one who controls elemental power. If I can find him, not only can he help me leave that damned space-time, but he can also help me restore my human body, like you! Xuan Nu, you now have a human body; he assisted you so greatly. Haven’t you already become Ye Fan’s woman?"

"If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe I’ll make you cease to exist?" Xuan Nu said harshly.

Chang Yi chuckled, "Making me cease to exist might not be that easy. Now that I’m already back in the normal space-time, there’s a lot to settle. From what I hear, Nuwa has also awakened, with only partial energy, right? Humph, haven’t you sought revenge against Nuwa yet?"

"My affairs have nothing to do with you..." Xuan Nu said, glancing at Ye Fan with a hint of resentment, seemingly concealing many secrets within her heart.

Ye Fan thought to himself, "Ever since Xuan Nu appeared before me, she’s maintained vigilance and caution towards me. I really don’t know what happened to her before. Although Su Nu had told me a little, her knowledge is limited, yet Chang Yi, having left the normal space-time for tens of thousands of years, clearly understands Xuan Nu’s affairs thoroughly."

Xuan Nu said, "Ye Fan, hurry and find my daughter. I can’t let her get in trouble. Since Li Zhaojun was able to leave that different space-time, she either had a rare opportunity or someone helped her from behind. Who besides you would know where she went?"

Ye Fan pondered for a moment; only Xi He seemed to know all this.

Moreover, Xi He had high cultivation and possessed some elemental power, so Xi He was likely to find Li Zhaojun before him.

"Oh no!" Ye Fan thought, "This incident must have a significant connection to Xi He. If we can’t locate Xi He, Zhao Jun might be in danger!"

Thinking of this, Ye Fan said, "Senior, accompany me to the secret realm!"

...

...

As Ye Fan had suspected, Xi He was indeed the one who tricked Li Zhaojun into a different space-time, as well as the one who brought Li Zhaojun out and "imprisoned" her using illusions.

When Ye Fan returned to Pan Gu’s secret realm, found Yu Zhou, and located Xi He within Illusion City, Xi He seemed like a deep Stargazer, gazing at the night sky without uttering a word.

Ye Fan, Xuan Nu, and Chang Yi landed in the courtyard where Xi He’s shadowless form used to reside, and Xuan Nu immediately demanded, "Where did you take my daughter?"

Xi He glanced at Xuan Nu, then finally fixed her gaze on Chang Yi before smiling slightly, "Did you finally get what you wished for?"

"I must thank Sister Xi He!" Chang Yi laughed, covering her mouth, "Without Sister’s help, I would still be trapped in that damned place, communicating with Sister only through puppet spiritual bodies. But now it’s all good; I’ve already returned to the normal space-time!"

Xuan Nu yelled angrily, "Chang Yi, were you already in league with Xi He?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Otherwise? During my time in a different space-time, I had hardly any way to contact people from the normal space-time. Without Sister Xi He’s assistance, would you have me face ceasing to exist like you at any moment?" Chang Yi retorted furiously.
