Seeing the expression on Chen Fan's face, the Kunlun Ancestor sighed, "Your friend has such a terrifying seal within her body. If we do not intervene, one day she will inevitably release this power. The consequences at that time will be unimaginable."
"I understand!" At this moment, Chen Fan truly grasped the situation before him.
He also understood what these events would bring to them.
If things continued this way, the consequences would be dire.
However, as it stood, even if they wished to change their fate, it would still be incredibly difficult.
What awaited them next was naturally what awaited them.
A powerful enemy, they wouldn't be able to find a way to break through so easily, would they?
Everyone thought this in their hearts and watched with curiosity.
No one knew what awaited them.
Even Chen Fan at this moment was no exception.
Looking at everything unfolding before him, he felt immense regret.
If only he could have changed these things in time, perhaps the problem wouldn't have become so severe.
But alas.
In his current state, it was difficult for him to change anything, and he could only watch these events unfold.
"I know you're feeling a bit sad, but don't dwell on these things now!" The Kunlun Ancestor patted Chen Fan's shoulder and said, "Young people often make mistakes. This is all quite normal for us. No one born into this world can guarantee they will never err. I believe you are the same!"
Chen Fan remained silent.
The Ancestor continued to speak.
"In fact, this matter had a conclusion long ago. It's just that I was unwilling to believe that things couldn't be changed. Now it seems, fate was truly decided very, very long ago!"
"Senior, is there any other way to save my friend?"
"As I said before, this attempt has failed, but it's not beyond recovery. There are indeed other solutions. If you can find another substitute, you can transfer the seal again, and the mark on your friend will be eliminated along with it."
Chen Fan seemed to understand something and nodded.
The next second, the elder beside him suddenly emitted a white light.
He was bathed in brilliant white radiance.
Then, a calm, almost divine voice echoed, "Do not despair at this moment. You will naturally find a way to solve the problem. But before that, let me protect this world one last time. I can delay the sealing for a while, though I don't know for how long. Therefore, it will depend on you now, young Chen!"
After the Kunlun Ancestor finished speaking, he transformed into countless specks of light and rapidly ascended into the sky.
At this moment, everyone in the Kunlun Secret Realm knelt in unison.
"We respectfully send off the Ancestor to ascension..."
This elder, whose age was immeasurable, had resided on this mountain for an exceptionally long time.
Birth, aging, sickness, death, the warmth and cold of human relationships.
These had repeated themselves countless times in his eyes.
But this time was different.
The Kunlun Ancestor had willingly made this decision. For many years, after knowing his fate, he had sought every possible way to change it.
He knew better than anyone that it would be difficult to achieve any change.
But today, he truly felt despair.
In this state, he could change nothing. All of it had become meaningless at this moment.
Before this man, no matter how hard he tried, the outcome would remain the same, with no change whatsoever.
All his plans had lost their meaning.
"I thought I could change my own destiny, but in the end, I still couldn't achieve it. Whether I admit it or not, this is the final outcome!"
The Kunlun Ancestor had continuously sought ways to alter his destiny.
But only today did he truly understand that one's fate is determined from birth and cannot be changed.
The current situation was something no one could control.
A young man like Chen Fan could not be resisted solely by himself.
A moment later, a beam of light shot up into the sky.
The cracks that suddenly appeared in the sky were forcibly sealed. The powerful auras that had leaked out were all suppressed bit by bit.
At this moment, they realized that this matter might not be as complicated as they had imagined.
No one knew what awaited them next.
Seeing this, Chen Fan finally understood that he had truly misunderstood these people.
He had previously thought that the so-called Kunlun Secret Realm was not to be trusted.
But now he realized he had made a grave mistake. They had contributed to this world, even if they were sometimes rigid in their ways.
But at times, they were capable of fulfilling their responsibilities exceptionally well.
The anomaly in the sky slowly disappeared.
Finally, everything subsided.
A young man appeared before Chen Fan, cupped his fists, and smiled, "Young Chen."
"You are!"
"The Ancestor's disciple. I believe you have witnessed what happened. There are many things about this matter that you may not understand. Feel free to ask me!"
"The Ancestor has foreseen all of this and sacrificed his life to atone for the mistake I made?"
"This could be considered karma. Many problems in this world are like this!" The young man smiled, shrugged, and said in a low voice, "However, he also believed that perhaps it is truly you who can save this world!"
"Savior?"
"It's an old saying. For a young man like you to one day change this world, perhaps now is an excellent opportunity! What do you say, are you willing to try?"
Looking at the expression on the man's face, Chen Fan fell silent.
Easily said.
Would it really be that simple?
At least for them, the challenges before them were not as easy to resolve as they thought.
Chen Fan did not know what he was capable of now.
