After Ye Fan controlled the celestial realm, he decided he must send ordinary Cultivators into it to ensure it remained under his dominion.

Originally, sending in Sang Yuan, Xi He, and others was the most suitable option, as these individuals possessed relatively high cultivation power. Especially Xi He, who could control the celestial realm single-handedly. However, Ye Fan did not wish to deploy Xi He so hastily. At present, the celestial realm no longer posed a threat to him; he merely needed to dispatch a few individuals to guard it.

After Sang Yuan led over a dozen Cultivators to the Zuo Domain Star System, Ye Fan directly opened the gateway to the celestial realm in reverse, allowing Sang Yuan and the Cultivators to enter together.

This was the first time individuals who hadn’t achieved ascension entered the celestial realm.

Zhang Tian asked, "Alliance Hierarch Ye, what does this mean?"

"Now, people in the celestial realm can no longer claim sovereignty over it; it will become a place under my control!" Ye Fan declared. "All your female Immortals must temporarily leave the celestial realm; as for male Immortals, only a few can remain. If anyone dares attack those I’ve sent, I will annihilate all inhabitants of the celestial realm. If you don’t believe me, you may try!"

Zhang Tian felt a deep-seated fear towards Ye Fan. He had never encountered any Cultivator as domineering as Ye Fan. It seemed Ye Fan was not interested in reasoning with him now.

Sang Yuan approached to inquire, "Master, where should we place these celestial inhabitants after taking them out?"

"Scatter them across the cosmos to protect all areas inhabited by humanity. If anyone among them harbors ill intent, I will still annihilate those of you from the celestial realm in joint liability!" Ye Fan replied. "You celestial inhabitants must now serve saving the heavenly tribulations; this is your last chance from me. Anyone who defies this is courting death!"

Zhang Tian lowered his head, unwilling to say anything, feeling powerless now.

In this world, strength still reigns supreme; as long as Ye Fan’s cultivation reaches a sufficient level to control the celestial realm solo, its inhabitants pose no threat to him, allowing Ye Fan to determine their fate freely.

Sang Yuan addressed the human cultivators he brought: "Did you hear Master’s words? From now on, the celestial realm is controlled by you. If anyone wishes you harm, they will perish. While here, cultivate diligently with Spiritual Energy; this is your best opportunity to quickly achieve ascension!"

Having said this, Sang Yuan respectfully stood behind Ye Fan, signifying his readiness to follow Ye Fan’s orders.

Ye Fan said, "Enough, what needed addressing has been mostly covered. Keep one hundred male Immortals in the celestial realm for now; the remaining must come with me to the human realm to uphold peace across the universe!"

Though Zhang Tian felt resentment, he knew he couldn’t contend with Ye Fan; hence, he swallowed his pride and personally led people away from the celestial realm, following Ye Fan’s directives to safeguard humanity and complete the Immortals’ last mission.

...

After everything was arranged, Ye Fan and Sang Yuan arrived on Earth.

In Hua Hai city, Ye Fan sought out Sun Ning directly, requesting Sun Ning to arrange a standalone villa for him to consolidate his cultivation and further elevate it, while allowing six small crystals to train undistracted.

This time, Ye Fan had no intention of joint cultivation. There were ample female cultivators around him now, with the entire celestial realm under his control. In essence, even those female Immortals had become his possessions; yet he hadn’t planned to do so as he believed these female Immortals couldn’t assist him in breaking through certain cultivation barriers.

The founder of the Earth Origin Sect, Dao Zhen, who had previously argued with Ye Fan, was brought to Earth by him. This was the lone female Immortal Ye Fan kept by his side, as he felt she could provide significant assistance in stabilizing the Pan Gu secret realm.

Upon completing his consolidation, Ye Fan descended from upstairs to the ground-floor living room, where Sang Yuan was monitoring Dao Zhen, fearing any disrespectful act towards Ye Fan.

After coming down, Ye Fan seated himself on the sofa, scrutinizing Dao Zhen, saying, "You should be familiar with the Earth Origin Sect’s cultivation. Should you need to trace an Earth Origin Sect disciple, you shouldn’t have any issues, correct?"

Dao Zhen sneered coldly, "Our Earth Origin Sect has had members achieving ascension nearly every generation. Especially in the last several millennia, we’ve become a primary force in the celestial realm. I can trace any Earth Origin Sect disciple’s whereabouts because I am attuned to the Spiritual Energy they bear..."

"Good!" Ye Fan nodded, "Later, I shall take you to the Pan Gu secret realm to help me locate a person who is the sect master of your generation, named Ling. She vanished around the Sea of Death, likely captured by mysterious forces. Her current whereabouts bear significance to the stability of the Pan Gu secret realm!"

"What did you say? Forces infiltrated the secret realm?" Dao Zhen appeared incredulous, "Even so, I can’t help. As someone who has ascended, I cannot enter the Pan Gu secret realm. You should be aware of this!"

Ye Fan replied, "I am aware, but I shall lead you in, as I know how to traverse the Pan Gu secret realm’s barriers!"

Dao Zhen seemed even more skeptical. She couldn’t believe Ye Fan could bypass the dense void layer of the Pan Gu secret realm, considered one of the universe’s most inexplicable forces. How this force formed remains unknown to celestial beings, even as the realm exterior is composed of void. However, the celestial realm’s void differs from the Pan Gu secret realm’s void, lacking its deeper mysteries.

"It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not!" Ye Fan stated, "You have no other choice; I’m taking you to the secret realm, where your sole purpose is to help me find the Earth Origin Sect master. Until we reach the secret realm, you must stick close to me wherever I go... Sang Yuan, you shall be tasked with supervising her!"

Sang Yuan eyed Dao Zhen. The two hadn’t tested their strengths against one another; Sang Yuan was uncertain of defeating Dao Zhen. However, since the celestial realm was completely under Ye Fan’s control, she didn’t worry about Dao Zhen committing any offensive acts. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Sang Yuan inquired, "Master, do you have any other instructions? Is there anything left unfinished on Earth?"

"I won’t be hasty to leave this time. Re-entering the secret realm isn’t as straightforward as before. Not only must I consolidate my cultivation, but I have returned to meet several individuals as well, departing after them!" Ye Fan declared. "You and Dao Zhen remain by my side; should anything arise, I’ll instruct you. In the meantime, conceal yourselves, act as if you’re invisible beside me. I prefer not to deal with you further!"
