Chapter 276 Fall of a God! Tears of Heaven and Totem of the God of War! (Last)
This was the most important question! When will the god of the ancient Mayan civilization descend? One year? Two years? Xie Feng needed to know the approximate time to prepare! After all, if what these people gave was true, then he should face an almighty god!
Xie Feng’s question was answered by absolute silence. The "Gods" and ancestors looked at each other as if searching for something until finally, after almost half a minute of silence, the wise-looking old woman began to speak slowly:
"In the past, two people of our level fought each other. The battle persisted for two days and two nights, the earth shook and many earthquakes caused a great deal of damage to mankind resulting in many deaths. Finally, after fighting for so long without rest, one of them began to show signs of advantage over the other. From then on, it was all just a matter of time before the battle ended."
Xie Feng listened quietly and attentively to the words of the old woman in front of him. To him, who did not have the slightest information or knowledge about what was happening or what was about to happen, every detail was of utmost importance.
"However, things were not that simple." The wise-looking old woman continued. "After a few more hours of fighting, the disadvantaged person was finally defeated. Unfortunately for him, his enemy was not interested in stopping at just defeating him after trying so hard... so he unhesitatingly beheaded his opponent."
"From here on things turned ugly." Vhan, the skeletal elder, went on to explain, "After that poor devil was beheaded, it began to rain as if the heaven was crying for the loss and not even five minutes after this, the winner of the battle was killed mercilessly and with utter ease."
Xie Feng frowned and asked slowly, "So.... The God that the guy who lost the battle worshipped descended and took the winner’s life?"
Gu Yating nodded but then shook his head. The Gu Family ancestor thought for a moment before carefully explaining, "Although we take some of the power from the Gods we worship, it doesn’t mean we are completely dependent on them. They give us a higher and stronger foundation to build on, but it is we ourselves who build with effort a path to the heavens. Precisely for that reason, we do not know too much about them... Although something like the descent of God happened only once in history, it was something very fast, child. Therefore..."
Even without the Gu Family ancestor finishing his words and without the need for further explanation, Xie Feng understood what the old man wanted to communicate; if things happened just like in the past, it was only a matter of minutes before the God of the ancient Mayan civilization would descend in search of "justice".
Xie Feng could not help but smile bitterly inside. He had naively thought that the so-called Gods were busy beings with a lot of work on their hands.... But apparently, he was wrong. A year? Two years? That estimated time was now shortened to a matter of minutes!
Drip... Drip... Drip....
Suddenly and without any sign, it started to rain. Slowly but surely, drops of water hit the surface of the ocean and the land of every continent.
Seeing the pace of the rain increasing with each passing second, Xie Feng finally understood what these people meant by ’as if the heaven was crying’.... It really looked as if the heavens were feeling sad about something and were crying to vent their loss.
People began to become restless and the patriarchs suddenly wanted to return to their homes. After all, who in their right mind would want to face the wrath of a True God?
Xie Feng took a deep breath and looked at Gu Pojun seriously, "Hey, old geezer."
Gu Pojun looked at Xie Feng in the same serious manner he was looking at him. Since Xie Feng was not calling him ’father-in-law’ in a playful manner, it was obvious that what he was about to say was something important.
"I need you to go back to Beijing and take care of Yaoyao and Qianxue for me."
Xie Yao’s face was the first to change when she heard Xie Feng’s words. She quickly shook her head and hurriedly said, "Big brother Xie Feng, wait a moment. I-...."
"Ah! My previous words really weren’t good!" Xie Feng exclaimed, interrupting Xie Yao. "I suddenly realize that somehow that sounded like a light novel farewell hahaha!"
He began to laugh nonchalantly and patting his loved one’s silky hair, he continued, "Don’t worry. I have no intention of losing. Actually, Ancestor Nangong may have taken my most powerful attack but I still have a lot of energy inside me! I’m not even satisfied... But who knows .... Maybe fighting a True God will be more interesting!"
Rumble...
Space began to shudder slightly just after Xie Feng finished his words. This caught everyone’s attention as those who had many years of life and had experienced the descent of a God before, knew what this phenomenon meant.
"What... What is that...?" Yang Tian looked up at the sky with his eyes wide open, being immediately followed by the other people.
Although barely visible and probably a normal person would not be able to see it even with a telescope, beyond the clouds and rain a blurry figure could be seen slowly beginning to form. It was undoubtedly some kind of totem. Unfortunately, the totem was not yet too clear to appreciate it with precision. However, even though the shape of the silhouette could not be seen clearly, it was enough to dissuade the most powerful beings on the planet.
The protectors from other regions of the world, those who could be considered a god to normal people because of their unimaginable devastating power, took one last look at Xie Feng before turning into rays of light that shot out to different corners of the world.
A total of ten had arrived, but in the end only nine of them were able to return.
Xie Feng did not feel bad because of the departure of these people, after all they had only just met and were closer to enmity than friendship. Therefore, the departure of these beings did not shake his mind in the least.
"Trust me. Didn’t I tell you before? In two hours we’ll be comfortably asleep!"
Xie Feng reminded the two beauties of the words he had spoken before their battle against Nangong Wentian, startling the two beautiful women.
Without waiting for a reply, Xie Feng gave Gu Pojun one last glance before shooting into the sky at full speed. In less than a blink of an eye he had disappeared from everyone’s sight.
"Big brother!"
Xie Yao was the first to cry out scared, her face completely pale with no sign of blood on it.
Gu Pojun gave her a complex look before explaining in the least worried way possible, "Don’t worry too much, Xie Yao! You saw how strong that brat is, didn’t you? He even defeated the ancestor of the Nangong Family and killed the Amazon ’God’ in one strike. With such power, only a True God can fight against him! But if he and that God fight here, the whole world will suffer more than it has already suffered, therefore, Xie Feng is simply taking the battlefield to a better location."
Surprisingly, even without Xie Feng saying a single word, his intentions had been correctly understood by Gu Pojun. Indeed, if he fought here against whatever was about to descend, then Xie Feng had no confidence to protect his loved ones. As for the loss of innocents? Well, that was something Xie Feng hadn’t thought about.
That was the kind of man the person called Xie Feng was.
Suddenly Xie Yao seemed to think of something and unconsciously looked at Mu Wuying. It was no surprise for her to see the most beautiful woman in the entire Shanghai University and the most beautiful woman in the entire capital of China looking up at the sky with a worried expression.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Mu Wuying also looked at Xie Yao. Both beautiful women looked into each other’s eyes with different emotions as if they were communicating silently. In the end, Mu Wuying simply nodded without saying anything, bringing relief to the beautiful Xie Yao.
After thinking for a few seconds, Mu Wuying took the initiative to approach her mother.
"Mother, I need you to help me with something."
"Oh?" The matriarch of the Mu Family raised an eyebrow and her eyes flashed with incomparable surprise. Although it was normal for a daughter to ask for help from her parents, Mu Wuying was a special case since she had practically never asked for anyone’s help except for a few special occasions.
However, when Mu Xue heard her daughter’s whisper close to her ear, she finally understood what it was about and the surprise disappeared into a ’as expected’ smile.

-Outer space.
"La la la la la la la~~"
In this place where no human being could survive for too long without protection and where the cold temperatures were so extreme that it could freeze a person completely in a second, the faint singing of a seemingly immature girl could be heard.
"Xue Xue Xue Xue~~"
On the dark side of the Moon, the side opposite the planet Earth, there was a small-bodied girl in a pretty white dress. She was completely alone. However, the girl did not seem bored or worried about the place she was currently in.
"Nai nai nai nai~~"
The little girl picked up a handful of stardust and threw it upwards. Her dark eyes lit up with delight as she watched the sparkling dust floating above her head and moving slowly.
