502: The crisis hidden behind the calm

Fei Qingyan took Xiao Feng and set off back to Yan Yu Sect.

The journey would take another seven days.

However, this journey wouldn't be too boring, as they had already made the trip once before.

With good food and the daily feeling of their strength steadily increasing, life wasn't too difficult.

It was just a little bit boring to travel.

However...

.........

Odyssey World.

Quite some time had passed since the Extraterrestrial Demon attack.

Maple Leaf hadn't felt any changes, as if the incident at the time was just an illusion.

It was only today, after her cultivation ended, that Maple Leaf suddenly remembered this matter.

And it was at this moment that someone from the Martial God Hall arrived.

"Lady Maple Leaf! You're here! That's great, Martial God is looking for you!" The Martial God Hall guard said to Maple Leaf.

"Martial God is looking for me?" Maple Leaf raised her eyebrow, a look of confusion in her eyes: "Did he say what it was about?"

"No! He just told us to come find you, Lady Maple Leaf!" The Martial God Hall guard respectfully said.

"Alright then, you all go about your business, I'll go over now." Maple Leaf nodded, then immediately headed towards the Martial God Hall.

Maple Leaf felt a sense of apprehension weighing on her heart.

"Is something big about to happen?" Maple Leaf arrived at the Martial God Hall, her mind heavy with worry.

"Lady Maple Leaf!" The guards at the Martial God Hall's gate saw Maple Leaf and greeted her respectfully.

"Mm." Maple Leaf was preoccupied, only giving a nasal "Mm" in response, her footsteps not faltering as she walked into the Martial God Hall.

"Where is Martial God?" Maple Leaf casually asked someone.

"Martial God is in the backyard now." That person replied.

"Thank you." Maple Leaf nodded, then walked towards the backyard of the Martial God Hall.

Upon arriving in the backyard, Maple Leaf saw Martial God standing in a small open space in the center of the garden.

"You're here." Martial God said without turning his head.

"Martial God! I heard you were looking for me? Is something the matter?" Maple Leaf asked Martial God with some curiosity, though her worried expression suggested she had a lot on her mind.

Martial God turned to look at Maple Leaf: "There is something!"

Maple Leaf looked at Martial God, waiting for him to continue.

Martial God looked up at the sky, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Are you ready to take over the position of Martial God?"

"???" Maple Leaf was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly widened, her pupils contracting sharply.

!!!

Maple Leaf's lips trembled: "Th-that, Martial God, what do you mean by that?!"

"It's exactly as it sounds, are you ready to take over the position of Martial God?" Martial God said, looking into Maple Leaf's eyes, his tone not sounding like a joke.

"This... Martial God! Has something happened?!" Maple Leaf asked Martial God with some alarm; this matter was far too sudden!

Maple Leaf knew her own situation.

Although she had always strived to achieve the position of Martial God.

But her current level and realm were simply not enough to bear the position of Martial God.

If she were forced to take on the position of Martial God, she would be panicked herself!

What level and strength was she at?! To take on the position of Martial God?!

"Indeed, something has happened. As my successor, you naturally need to be prepared for this." Martial God nodded slightly and said: "This is a major event! It concerns the Extraterrestrial Demons! I must also participate... but there will be great danger!

For the succession of the divine position, it is best for me to directly pass on the divine position to you now!"

"Ah!" Maple Leaf's face changed slightly upon hearing Martial God's words; it was indeed about the Extraterrestrial Demons! And most importantly! This matter was so serious that even Martial God had to "make arrangements" beforehand, which showed how critical this incident was.

"No matter what, this position of Martial God... you have to take it." Martial God smiled at Maple Leaf and said.

"Martial God! This..." Maple Leaf opened her mouth.

"Of course, you won't inherit it right now, there's still some time. During this period, I will pass on the divine position to you and announce to the outside world that you are the new Martial God! At the same time, during this period, I will conduct special training for you! Including how to master and use the power of divine authority!" Martial God said to Maple Leaf.

"Yes!" Maple Leaf took a deep breath, then seriously said to Martial God: "I will not let down your trust!"

"Um, Martial God! Could you tell me the specifics of this matter? I'd like to understand it..." Maple Leaf thought for a moment and asked Martial God.

"Of course! You are qualified to know about this, after all, you will soon be the new Martial God!" Martial God smiled and nodded: "The Extraterrestrial Demons, by some unknown means, used a special power to bypass all protections and opened a passage that can directly reach our world.

Of course, thankfully we discovered it early; they haven't fully controlled and expanded this passage yet.

What we need to do now is to find the existence of these passages and destroy them! If they cannot be destroyed, then they must be marked and sealed!

During this period, there will definitely be a battle, no, an unknown number of battles, with the Extraterrestrial Demons.

Moreover, we found that it's not just Extraterrestrial Demons, well, although they are all collectively referred to as Extraterrestrial Demons.

But this time, we discovered the existence of Extraterrestrial Demons different from before, as if they are civilizations from other worlds... And they seem very hostile towards us, their purpose is very clear, which is to invade our world."

Martial God sighed slightly, then continued: "After preliminary contact with this civilization, their power is not weak, and the Hall of the Gods has all been dispatched... Fortunately, we recently detected the danger, and many innate gods have awakened one after another, timely protecting Osdessey's first line of defense.

And stabilized our defenses... otherwise, the world would now be in chaos."

Listening to Martial God's words, Maple Leaf couldn't help but purse her lips and frown deeply, never expecting that while things seemed calm during this period, so much had actually happened behind the scenes!

Although Martial God spoke of it lightly, she could imagine how dangerous and precarious the situation was.

Even Martial God now had to directly pass on his position to her and then head to the front lines.
