Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 256
Third-person POV
Guang Liang was laying down on the grass beside the river while staring at the clear blue sky with a serious expression on his face. He was wondering about the voice that he heard since a few weeks ago.
He had been trying to ignore the voice and trying to go through his days happily with his young mother, Meiyun. But the voice never stopped calling for his beloved mother’s name and telling her to wake up. Guilt slowly ate up his selfish heart, he wanted to stay with someone he truly cared for a bit longer but on the other side of the world, there were many more people waiting for Meiyun to come back.
“What are you doing here?” Meiyun’s face popped up above his head.
Guang Liang who had gotten used to Meiyun’s goofiness didn’t show any reaction on the outside to her sudden appearance although his heart jumped a little bit.
“Nothing, just looking at the sky.” Guang Liang replied nonchalantly.
Meiyun knitted her brows in suspicion and asked with a worried tone, “Guang Liang ah, what’s wrong with you? You have been acting weird for the past few weeks. If you anything you are worried about, just tell mother.”
Guang Liang stared at her for a moment and sat up facing Meiyun. Meiyun scooted closer to Guang Liang so that she could hear him clearer and better. Even after a few minutes of staring at each other, Guang Liang’s lips were still tightly shut.
“What is it?” Meiyun started to get panic.
“Go back.” Guang Liang answered with a firm tone.
Meiyun was caught off guard, she couldn’t get any word out of her throat.
“You stayed here for too long.” Guang Liang gave his reason.
“Nonsense!” Meiyun quickly cut him off with a heavy tone.
Guang Liang lifted his eyes to look at Meiyun’s disheartened face. He looked away as soon as Meiyun grabbed his hand.
“Look at me.” Meiyun place her palm on Guang Liang’s cheek and softly turned his face to face her.
At that moment, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to keep the secret from Meiyun when his eyes landed on Meiyun’s glistening eyes.
“Why do you have to say that? Did mother tease you so much that you want me to leave?” Meiyun spoke with a regretful voice.
“No, not that.” Guang Liang denied swiftly.
“Then what? If you don’t tell me, how could I know what is bothering you?” Meiyun put more strength in her grip.
Guang Liang bit his lips and sighed in resignation, “There is someone waiting for your return.”
Meiyun’s face immediately froze as she knew clearly who Guang Liang was talking about.
“Every hour, without a fail, he would talk to you and asked where you truly are. You can’t hear his voice but I can. And it started to get pitiful.” Guang Liang uttered.
Meiyun lowered her head and the grip that was holding on Guang Liang’s hand loosened as well. She turned her head away to look at the water that was flowing tranquilly in the river.
“Will you be lonely?” A question escaped from Meiyun’s lips.
Guang Liang was silent for a moment then a weak smile appeared on his thin pale lips, “Of course I will without you talking all day long hehe~”
Guang Liang chuckled at the thought of Meiyun excitedly telling him the dramas that happened in the human world. He took Meiyun’s hand that previously held his hand, he gripped it tightly but not enough to hurt her. Although the smile on his lips was genuine, however, one could see the gaze in his eyes were showing how reluctant he was from letting Meiyun go.
“But…he and the others are also missing you. They know you longer and better than I do so you should have choose them over me. And, just by hearing him calling out to you every second showed how big his love for you.
It has been three months since you appeared here. Don’t waste any more of your time with me in here, you will be happier out there with them.” Guang Liang expressed his true feeling about Meiyun’s stay in the dimension that he created.
“No, you are wrong.” Meiyun firmly refuted.
She knocked her forehead against Guang Liang’s forehead and caused both of them to be in pain. But the pain on their forehead couldn’t compare to the storm that they were having in their hearts.
“Three months staying in here with you, never have I ever felt any regret even for a second. The thought of wasting my time had never passed my mind before. I have been enjoying every second of being with you. So don’t say anything like wasting my time, kay?” Meiyun said softly and with a gentle smile adorned her cherry lips, she looked unusually heavenly.
“En,” Guang Liang weakly nodded his head without taking his eyes off Meiyun.
Just when they were enjoying the pleasant silence, Meiyun’s eyes suddenly got blurry. Her body froze in shock as she couldn’t believe what just happened. She blinked and rubbed her eyes to disperse the blurriness in her eyes, not long after, her sight went back to normal.
Guang Liang who noticed Meiyun rubbing and blinking her eyes repeatedly sighed as he knew that the time has come. His eyes were staring at the hand that held tightly Meiyun’s slender hands.
“The time has come.” Guang Liang muttered under his breath almost inaudible.
But Meiyun heard every single word loud and clear, she furrowed her brows and gave Guang Liang a confused look.
“What do you mean?” Meiyun asked.
, “My power was used up for reviving you, thus, I can’t maintain this dimension any longer. It is the best option if you leave right now.” Guang Liang said and lifted up his head to look directly at her eyes.
Meiyun noticed that the words Guang Liang used were somewhat suspicious.
“If you can’t maintain our own dimension, then, where will you go?” Meiyun inquired with worries written all over her face.
Her voice was audibly trembling, the thought of what would happen to Guang Liang after his dimension crumbled because of losing all of his power horrified her.
Guang Liang snorted at Meiyun’s expression and flicked her scrunched up forehead with his finger, “Why the hell are you frowning? You will get wrinkles even before you get into the thirties.”
But Meiyun wasn’t affected by Guang Liang’s attempt to change the subject and the tense atmosphere that surrounds them. Although she had only known him for three months, she could read him like an open book.
Furthermore, with Guang Liang putting his full trust in Meiyun, he tended to show his true self without having the fear of being hated by Meiyun who loves him the way he is.
Meiyun was staring intensely at Guang Liang to beseech an answer from him about his own fate. Just by looking at the way Meiyun staring at him, Guang Liang sighed for the tenth time as he knew well that he wouldn’t be able to dodge this question.
“Maybe I will disappear or will be sent to hell, I don’t know for sure, we will see.” Guang Liang indifferently shrugged his shoulders as if his life didn’t matter to him at all.
Meiyun clenched her jaw as she knew that the cause of these things to happen was her. She didn’t know how to reply to him, she couldn’t think of any method that could be any help to Guang Liang. Even her body was currently lying lifelessly on the bed.
“I can help you,” a childish voice sounded out from Guang Liang’s behind.
They whipped their heads to look at the new uninvited guest that appeared out of nowhere without any sound. A teenage girl with a pair of wide wings soundlessly landed on the ground.
“Who are you?” Guang Liang growled.
He never experienced anything such as someone broke into his dimension, therefore, he became very protective and hid Meiyun behind him.
“Don’t be afraid. I am Master Sheng Jie’s divine beast and I came here to help you because you had helped my master.” The teenage girl said.
“Master Sheng Jie? I have never even met her before, how could I possibly help her?” Guang Liang spat back.
“I can’t tell you more than that because there is a human here.” The teenage girl glanced at Meiyun.
Meiyun fearlessly stepped forward as she thought that the only one that could help Guang Laing was the teenage girl, “What do I have to do for you to help my son?”
The teenage girl smiled widely as she approached Meiyun, “Easy, you just need to go back to your own body and do what you are supposed to do.”
“What?” Meiyun asked in puzzlement.
“You will know.” The teenage girl put her hand over Meiyun’s eyes and in an instant, Meiyun vanished from the sight.
