435: An accident happened

Wang Mian was still resting in his rented room, as usual.

He did not intend to make contact with the Night Watcher of this timeline. His current identity was special, and rash contact with Ye Fan and others could easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

More importantly, his mother's due date was not far off, and he had to ensure his own smooth birth.

Although everything had gone smoothly so far, Wang Mian felt a subtle unease.

The entire process seemed too smooth.

So Wang Mian decided to stay by his parents' side, secretly guarding their safety.

At this time, the Night Watchers on this timeline had entered a state of war preparedness.

The Night Watcher Commander, Ye Fan, stood on the city wall of Shen Long Pass, draped in a red cloak, with Guan Zai standing behind him.

At this time, both of them were very young, and their physical functions were at their Peak.

"Guan Zai, can you pinpoint the location of the Earth Mother Gaia?"

Guan Zai shook his head, "I can only pinpoint the general direction. The electromagnetic signal attenuates too much in the mist, making precise positioning impossible.

Estimating based on the worst-case scenario, it won't be more than 92 hours until She arrives in Great Xia."

Upon hearing Guan Zai's words, Ye Fan's expression became solemn.

"Less than four days? How much longer until the Master and Lu Wuwei arrive?" Ye Fan asked.

"They will arrive at Shen Long Pass in 20 hours."

"20 hours," Ye Fan paused, then said, "With Zhou Ping included, the five of us human Peaks should be able to hold them off."

Hearing Ye Fan mention Zhou Ping, a hint of displeasure appeared on Guan Zai's face, "Commander, Zhou Ping is still a child, and he only just reached the human Peak yesterday. He still needs time to settle. Four of us at Shen Long Pass are enough.

I've already calculated it; if it's just to hold off the Earth Mother Gaia, the success rate is as high as 70%. I don't think it's necessary to drag Zhou Ping into this."

Ye Fan shook his head and said, "Data analysis cannot fully dictate the battle situation. Combat often comes with unexpected events, and we cannot include all contingencies in data analysis.

Regardless of the outcome, Zhou Ping must participate in the battle. Consider it the last line of defense for our operation."

Guan Zai hesitated for a moment, then swallowed his words.

After all, Ye Fan was the Night Watcher Commander, and no matter what his own opinions were, he had to obey his orders first.

Ye Fan looked at Guan Zai, knowing he was unhappy.

"Guan Zai, I know you care deeply for that child, Zhou Ping, but we are Night Watchers, and we must consider the ordinary people of Great Xia."

"You don't need to persuade me; I understand all these grand principles. For now, let's deal with the Outer Gods of Olympus.

However, what exactly is the purpose of these guys?"

...

Three days later, Lincang City Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

Wang Mian's father was anxiously waiting outside the delivery room. He could imagine the immense pain his wife was enduring inside the delivery room.

But all he could do now was pray silently.

"Wife, you must be safe and sound!"

At this moment, on the hospital's rooftop, Wang Mian was leaning against the railing, waiting for the feeling of his own birth, which was quite strange.

Dad, Mom, you must do your best!

By now, Wang Mian couldn't interfere too much. After all, he didn't understand anything about childbirth.

Just then, a wind suddenly picked up on the hospital's rooftop.

Wang Mian took a light sniff and furrowed his brow.

Because in that wind, he smelled a hint of seawater.

Lincang City was not by the sea, so why would there be a sea breeze here?

The unusual phenomenon immediately put Wang Mian on alert. A silver light flashed in his eyes, and the distant scene appeared before Wang Mian's eyes.

At the border between Great Xia and the mist, a deity as tall as a mountain slowly emerged from the mist.

Wang Mian recognized that God at a glance: Gaia, the Earth Mother of Olympus.

"Why did Gaia suddenly appear in Great Xia?"

Wang Mian was very puzzled. He remembered the last time Gaia appeared in Great Xia, it was to seize Shiva's Grudge in Cangnan. That time, the God of Mischief, Loki, also appeared.

But, at this point in time...

Wang Mian was very sure that at this time, the prophesied blasphemer Lin Qi Ye had definitely not been born, so who was Gaia coming for?

At this moment, Wang Mian's mind was somewhat chaotic, and by the sea, Ye Fan had already begun fighting Gaia.

Ye Fan stood proudly on Shen Long Pass, facing Gaia with no fear.

"Gaia, this is not where you should be!"

"Hehe, how interesting. A mere human dares to stand before me." Gaia's voice was low, filled with contempt.

"Hmph!" Ye Fan tore off his cloak and flung it behind him, "It seems there's nothing to discuss!"

Buzz!

Ye Fan's body glowed with golden light, and in the Void Realm, there seemed to be bursts of Buddhist chanting.

Amidst the chanting, Ye Fan's body continuously expanded, and in a blink of an eye, he had grown to a size comparable to Gaia's.

A strange look flashed in Gaia's eyes, "As a human, to be able to reach this level is not bad. Unfortunately, you cannot stop me!"

Rumble!

The ocean instantly churned up huge waves, and mountains of rocks flew from the sea into the sky.

In a blink of an eye, the sky was filled with dense, massive boulders.

Those boulders transformed into sharp blades, flying towards Ye Fan, but a bizarre scene occurred: as soon as the boulders fell, they disappeared from their original spot.

"Hahaha, my 'Heartscape' just happened to be missing some mountain scenery. Thank you, Earth Mother, for the miniature mountains you sent!"

One of Great Xia's human Peaks, the Master, appeared on the battlefield from the clouds.

At the same time, Guan Zai and Lu Wuwei appeared simultaneously, surrounding Gaia with Ye Fan.

Gaia looked at the four human Peaks and snorted coldly, "I admit, your strength is indeed very strong, but unfortunately, humans are ultimately just humans. There is an insurmountable chasm between them and Gods!"

With that, a sharp blade and shield appeared in Gaia's hand, and the four human Peaks also made their moves, fighting against Her.

Rumble!

In the dark night sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Over the vast sea, strong winds raged, and waves tens of meters high rose and fell. The battle between Gaia and the human Peaks had already turned this place into a forbidden zone for life.

The Night Watchers stationed on the city wall watched this scene, and almost all of them were stunned.

"This... is this the battle between human Peaks and Gods?"

"So terrifying. At this level of battle, we have no chance to intervene at all, do we?"

"Just feeling the remnants of that Mental Energy makes me feel terrified..."

Just as the Night Watchers were shocked by the scene before them, a young man holding a sword gracefully landed on the city wall.
