Zhao Tianya was quite tough in her attitude towards Ye Fan. This toughness was also a sign of her strong inner defenses. She was different from Tantai Wanrong. When she was determined, she could be more stubborn than Ye Fan, and nothing Ye Fan said would change her mind.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Tianya sounded a bit fearful after hearing Ye Fan’s words, "If you dare to mess around, believe it or not, I will..."

Ye Fan said, "Since I can help you, I don’t care if it means messing things up or not. Tian Ya, everything I do now is entirely for your sake!"

After speaking, Ye Fan enveloped Zhao Tianya with gentle spiritual energy and elemental power. Zhao Tianya instantly felt herself entering a magical space. In this space, there was a sense of life’s ease and a pull of spiritual energy, something she had never experienced before.

She tried to shout, but found her voice wouldn’t come out. She tried to struggle, but found her body seemed unresponsive, entirely surrounded by some mysterious power of Ye Fan, making it hard even to speak.

"What’s happening?" Zhao Tianya wanted to know what was happening to her, but Ye Fan wasn’t going to give her any explanation.

At this time, she could still see outside the space, watching Ye Fan gradually approaching her. She felt like her body was completely exposed to Ye Fan, which made her feel intensely ashamed. She wondered how to resolve the present embarrassment but only realized much later that she did not seem to have much resistance to Ye Fan.

"Ye Fan... don’t come closer!" Zhao Tianya shouted finally, but it seemed to have no effect. Ye Fan still unceremoniously got close to her and intruded into her personal space.

Zhao Tianya felt like the world in her eyes was slowing down, as if everything was playing in slow motion. She could see Ye Fan’s every move clearly. Although she wanted to close her eyes and not look at Ye Fan, she couldn’t help but steal another glance, filled with inner conflict.

From Ye Fan’s perspective, everything felt normal. He was simply using life elements and Pure Yang spiritual energy to create a space for Zhao Tianya. As for what might happen in this space, he himself hadn’t investigated or understood.

He did not know Zhao Tianya was in a space isolated from the outside world. In this space, time would slow down, and the world Zhao Tianya saw seemed different from before.

"Tian Ya, I want to help you cultivate, to help you reach the Divinity Transformation Stage. By then, your body’s functions will be more powerful, and your self-protection ability will improve a lot. Even if I’m not by your side, I’ll be more at ease!" Ye Fan said.

Zhao Tianya heard Ye Fan’s words playing at a very slow speed. Because of this, she couldn’t clearly hear what Ye Fan was saying. This feeling suddenly triggered something subconscious inside her, making her realize she seemed to have experienced this before.

Previously Xi He had imprisoned Zhao Tianya in an illusion, which was a time-slowed space, where time was infinitely slowed down. Ye Fan outside only experienced a day’s time, but she spent hundreds of thousands of years inside. Because of this long existence, her mentality changed. Ye Fan sealed this memory completely to protect her, rather than directly eliminating it. This seal could be lifted.

But Ye Fan feared that Zhao Tianya then couldn’t adapt more to the outside environment, reaching a terrifying state of mind. The mental world of a woman who lived in isolation for hundreds of thousands of years would undergo a tremendous change, a change Ye Fan dared not imagine.

At this moment, Zhao Tianya felt she was suffocating, as the subconscious in her mind became gradually stronger. This was something familiar yet terrifying to her because she was imprisoned in a time-slowed space for hundreds of thousands of years, and she had immense fear of such spaces. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

At this moment, Ye Fan hadn’t realized her fear.

When Ye Fan carried Zhao Tianya to the shore, she had already experienced hours of suffering inside. The space Ye Fan created was ultimately not as powerful as the one Xi He created. Ye Fan’s space only slowed down Zhao Tianya’s time by several times to dozens of times. But even so, Zhao Tianya found it unacceptable.

When Ye Fan returned to the shore and realized everything, he quickly removed the closed space around Zhao Tianya, allowing her to emerge from it. She was drenched in sweat, still fearful, her gaze at Ye Fan filled with immense terror. After she clearly saw Ye Fan, she tried to touch herself and finally knew she had come out from that dreadful world.

"Ye Fan, what exactly did you do to me?" Zhao Tianya shouted angrily.

Ye Fan said, "I was just afraid you would struggle and used the life space to calm your mind, Tian Ya. What did you feel before?"

"I felt like you are a demon!" Zhao Tianya said, "Have I experienced this time-slowed space before? Why was I so afraid before? Are the things you told me before true?"

Ye Fan was close to Zhao Tianya, and she had not dressed yet. Ye Fan glanced down, while Zhao Tianya was still angry, seemingly indifferent to what was happening. Ye Fan sighed slightly, "Tian Ya, relax a little. I mean you no harm. About the things you experienced before, as I explained to you in front of Aunt Rong, you should know. The memory I sealed before was to help you move past that shadow. Those unhappy events you experienced before, I didn’t seal them because I knew those were things you needed to go through, right?"

Zhao Tianya shouted angrily, "Then what makes you think that what you sealed later wasn’t something I wanted to experience? Now I feel like my whole heart is being invaded, Ye Fan, this feeling is terrifying, do you understand?"

At this moment, Zhao Tianya’s emotions were a bit overwhelmed. Ye Fan wanted to explain but realized it seemed rather futile.

Ye Fan tried to embrace Zhao Tianya but was pushed away, "Don’t come over! I’ve told you, I can’t accept someone who invades my heart and even wants to seal my memory... You make me feel very scary. I don’t want to experience such terrifying things again, you know? Those few hours were the most terrifying things I’ve ever felt..."

"You have already experienced several hours inside? Then...perhaps I was negligent!" Ye Fan sighed, "But I want to say this is much easier than living in some space for hundreds of thousands of years. If I restore your memory, your emotions will change drastically! I won’t do it!"
