No one dared to look at the young man in front of them with looks of pity, compa.s.sion, or disdain like the past. Even if they had no brains they now knew that the twenty years old young man was clearly a terrifying person playing the role of the pig to eat the tiger! A wolf in sheep's skin!
If Xie Feng knew the thoughts of these people, he would probably mock them mercilessly. Playing the role of the pig to eat the tiger? He never did that; it was they themselves who a.s.sumed he was weak and it was they who believed that their "acquaintance" had been killed by a furious Nangong Jun. Xie Feng never claimed any of this and had simply watched them talk and jump to conclusions as if they were clowns.
"You... You... Do you have any idea what you just did?"
The skeletal elder who called himself Vhan did not even look at the heart that Xie Feng had handed to him with "kindness", on the contrary, he dodged it as if it was some kind of plague.
Xie Feng frowned as he heard the skeletal elder's clearly frightened voice. Fear... What could cause such fear in such a powerful person? What caught Xie Feng's attention the most was that when he looked at his surroundings, all the "G.o.ds" including those who had come here with him from China, had pale faces as if they were suffering from a fatal terminal illness.
"What, does that guy have a super powerful master? Or maybe his great-grandfather on his mother's side actually turned out to be the strongest man on Earth?" Xie Feng scoffed regardless. "This is not a light novel."
Surprisingly, the skeletal elder Vhan nodded and said in a serious voice, "That's right. Luiz Fernandez is under the protection of someone very powerful.... Not only him, but all of us here are also!"
The smile on Xie Feng's face receded when he heard the statement of the old man in front of him. To make sure, he also looked at the rest of the people only to see them nodding silently with their faces still pale.
"Boy, don't you know?" Yang Luoyang said in a serious and somewhat worried voice, "We, who wors.h.i.+p a deity, in return for our faith towards them receive the capacity to use powers of these G.o.ds as well as their protection."
"What...?"
Xie Feng's mind was shrouded in a cloud of fog. Divinity? G.o.ds? Faith? He had no idea what the Yang Family ancestor was talking about!
"By G.o.d you mean people like us?" Xie Feng asked in confusion.
"Us?" Yang Luoyang shook his head and scoffed. "We are nothing but people with some power. We don't have the right to call ourselves 'G.o.d'!"
Yao Chu interfered with a stern look, "Now that you ended Luiz Fernandez's life, it is safe to expect the wrath of the G.o.d Buluc Chabtan.... Child, which G.o.d do you wors.h.i.+p? At this rate, the divinity you wors.h.i.+p and the G.o.d Buluc Chabtan will end up clas.h.i.+ng against the other!"
Xie Feng's mouth opened wide and the more he listened the more he felt that the world had gone mad.... The wrath of the G.o.d Buluc Chabtan? The G.o.d he wors.h.i.+pped fighting against the G.o.d Buluc Chabtan? But he didn't wors.h.i.+p any G.o.d! What were these people talking about!?
"Wait a minute." Xie Feng suddenly noticed something strange and arched an eyebrow as he looked at Yang Luoyang, "Earlier, you said that you guys borrow some of the powers of the G.o.d you wors.h.i.+p?"
Yang Luoyang nodded and looked at Xie Feng in confusion, "Aren't you the same?"
Xie Feng didn't know what to say.... Wors.h.i.+p a G.o.d? Forget wors.h.i.+pping a deity, Xie Feng even disdains each and every deity in the whole world! In human words, each and every one of them were painted as holy and righteous, but from his point of view each one of them was false!
No... Not all of them. There was one divinity that Xie Feng respected. Only one G.o.d that he could truly wors.h.i.+p if not for his innate arrogance.
Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he nodded and replied, "If I had to say one G.o.d that I admire.... Then it would be the G.o.d of Destruction."
No matter whether it was s.h.i.+va of the Hindu religion or Ethos, an ancient G.o.d of destruction who had almost been forgotten by mankind and whom Xie Feng learned about only accidentally. Both were G.o.ds who fought for what they believed in and were even willing to destroy everything for the sake of those close to them without using the word "justice" in a hypocritical way.
One would normally believe that experience comes with age and after experiencing many things.... But apparently this rule did not always hold true in every single case.
If during that time he had wanted it, NO ONE present could have foreseen an attack from him and the unfortunate chosen one would have no better fate than that of the now dead "G.o.d" of the Amazon.
But all this was none of Xie Feng's business and he had no obligation or right to give any explanations to these people. The only reason he came to this frozen place practically uninhabited by any living creature was to check how strong he was at present and to see how strong other people on a similar power level to him were, and that was all. Although some unforeseen things to him happened halfway, such as the arrival of the other "G.o.ds", Xie Feng's objective had already been accomplished and he did not have the slightest interest in staying to "make friends" with anyone.
However, just when Xie Feng was thinking of peacefully going to bed and having a sweet night's sleep with, perhaps, two beautiful belles on both sides and cuddling up to fight the cruel winter, things turned out not to be so simple since a sudden voice caused his footsteps to stop in place.
"The G.o.d of destruction...?" Gu Yating frowned. From what I understand, the higher deities forbade the wors.h.i.+p of any G.o.d related to destruction."
"What do you know about these G.o.ds?" Xie Feng frowned deeply as he realized that at this point things were more difficult than he thought. He was still too unfamiliar with the vast universe.
Was there only one universe to begin with? Or was the multiverse theory really valid? Xie Feng knew nothing.
"Nothing." Gu Yating shook his head. "When the G.o.ds decide to communicate with us they send a messenger but we know nothing about them. We gather faith for them by performing great acts and that faith becomes part of their power. In return, we receive part of the G.o.ds' power. We only know that for some reason, all the major G.o.ds strictly forbade wors.h.i.+pping a G.o.d of destruction. People who do so can never have the slightest chance of having any power at all."
Gu Yating and the rest looked at each other in confusion before looking at Xie Feng again. If what the young man in front of them said was true and he really wors.h.i.+pped a G.o.d of destruction, then wasn't he supposed to be extremely weak? How was he so powerful at such a young age then?
"Faith" was a very funny word. It only took one push for that faith to begin to crumble.
However, Xie Feng's mind was occupied with other issues. Nothing... In the end, it was again a dead end. No matter how much he searched, lately he only had unanswered questions; in the virtual world it was like that and in the real world it was like that too.
The younger ones, as well as the patriarchs of the five great families, had no idea what was going on. Suddenly the atmosphere had become strange after Xie Feng took the life of the man with the body full of mystic runes and the ancestors of their respective families as well as the powerful unknown people who had arrived not long ago began to chat about things unknown to them. None of them dared to miss the slightest word since they were very clear that they would probably never in their lives be presented with an opportunity like the one they had in front of them.
On the other hand, the women who were in love with Xie Feng were worried. Even Xie Yao, who had seen him move through outer s.p.a.ce like a G.o.d, was worried and her eyes were on the verge of tears. After all, they had clearly heard about the wrath of a G.o.d.
A True G.o.d!
They didn't know if G.o.ds really existed or not, but how could a human being confront a G.o.d? The Holy Bible and every religion stipulated that man was the creation of the G.o.ds.... So how could something that was casually created by a G.o.d, resist them? It was impossible for these beautiful women not to worry for the safety of the one they loved.
Xie Feng had his mind full of chaos to notice the worries of his loved ones, too many thoughts were running through his mind at the speed of light.
The place was silent until Xie Feng finally asked the most important question:
"So... Does anyone know when something like the descent of the G.o.d Buluc Chabtan will happen?"
This was the most important question! When will the G.o.d 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 G.o.d!
