“That would be the last resort. But before that, I still want to give it a try. If it really comes to that, I'll have no choice but to follow your advice and bring my friends and family into this secret realm.”
As he spoke these words, Ye Fan became extremely somber.
After all, Earth was where he grew up.
Knowing that it would cease to exist in the near future felt like he was about to lose his home.
Such despair and sadness were undoubtedly beyond words.
“Ye Fan, I don't mean to discourage you but the chances of altering the fate of Earth's destruction are almost negligible. Can mere mortals possibly contend with the might of the Universe Tree?”
Duanmu Wan'er still believed that humans didn't stand a chance.
“Wan'er, can you think of any other solutions? Is there really no hope left?”
Ye Fan was unwilling to give up as he had yet to witness all the magnificent sights of the land, like the innumerable mountains covered in snow.
If he simply gave up like this, wouldn't his life be filled with regrets?
Duanmu Wan'er sighed. “Since you are so persistent, I can only say, there is still a way that might work and that is, you can reach the god realm. In the god realm, your body and soul will begin to greatly differ from that of mere mortals. When the time comes, there might still be a chance to turn the tables, even in the direst of situations. However, it's merely a possibility. All of this is just my speculation. In practical terms, I can't guarantee what the outcome will be.”
Duanmu Wan'er spoke softly.
God realm again?
Ye Fan's expression turned serious.
Indeed, all crises stem from one's own lack of strength.
If he could reach the god realm, he should be able to save Eigetsu!
If he could reach the god realm, perhaps the Universe Tree could be uprooted entirely!
“All right, I understand, Wan'er. However, I still want to know, how much longer does the Earth have?” Ye Fan asked.
The Universe Tree was still in its growth phase.
Normally, it only devoured the power flowing down from the Sky Gate without doing anything else.
Hence, all Ye Fan wanted to know was how much longer would the World Tree wait before it launched an attack on Earth.
“I'm not entirely sure either. But at least, we should have ten years,” Duanmu Wan'er said slowly.
Ye Fan frowned. “Ten years?”
In other words, he still had ten years to prepare.
Within ten years, if he could break through to the god realm, then there was still a glimmer of hope for Earth.
If not, he could only live in this secret realm in the future.
“All right then. Wan'er, within these ten years, I will devote myself entirely to seclusion to achieve a breakthrough. However, before that, I need to step out for a bit.”
Ye Fan suddenly felt the urgency of time.
However, some things still needed to be done.
“Sure, Ye Fan, you can go. During this time, I will renovate the secret realm and try to make this place as similar to Earth's environment as possible. It'll be easier for your friends and family to stay here as well if I do so.”
Duanmu Wan'er always held the utmost respect for Ye Fan's decisions.
She was like Ye Fan's better half, helping him strategize and silently supporting him from behind the scenes.
Ye Fan was undoubtedly moved. “Wan'er, thank you.”
Duanmu Wan'er smiled. “If I can be of help to you, then I'd gladly do anything.”
After a brief conversation, Ye Fan departed from the secret realm of India once again.
When he ventured out this time, Ye Fan's primary goal was to find Qiu Mucheng.
The unexpected appearance of the Universe Tree signaled the imminent end of the Earth, and this was an unprecedented crisis.
Duanmu Wan'er just said that even if Ye Fan broke through to the god realm, it would only give Earth a glimmer of hope.
Although Ye Fan didn't ask about it, he could still sense from these words just how powerful this Universe Tree truly was.
Even the chances of god realm masters taking it down were not guaranteed.
In this situation, leaving Earth had become an inevitable choice for Ye Fan even though there were still ten years to go!
However, it was best to take precautions beforehand.
Ye Fan must start planning ahead for his family and friends.
