My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

With the barrier shattered, the only obstacle blocking his departure had disappeared.

Immediately afterward, he requested a flying beast from Ying Xinghe.

Although Commander Level already possessed the ability to fly, the council and Longxia Country were separated by the sea, and the distance was not close.

Therefore, to reach the council's location, it was necessary to use the world's unique mode of transportation—the flying beast.

One day later.

The outline of the council's capital finally appeared on the horizon.

To Gu Xing's surprise, a grand welcoming formation was already arranged outside the city gate.

Two rows of Commander Level Beast Masters stood solemnly on either side, while Veronica, in the center, wore an ink-green evening gown.

This is too much...

Gu Xing's mouth twitched slightly.

He expected Veronica to welcome him but didn't anticipate such a grandiose noble-style scene.

As the flying beast gradually descended, Veronica had already gracefully lifted her dress and walked over.

At this moment, Veronica fully embodied the appearance of a noble lady.

But she was originally a noble young lady!

A true noble young lady!

As the daughter of the council's chief, her status was unparalleled in the council.

"Give me your hand."

Before Gu Xing could react, Veronica had naturally taken his arm.

???

Gu Xing instinctively wanted to shake it off.

But he heard Veronica's low, gritted-teeth threat in his ear:

"If you dare to shake it off, you're dead!"

This familiar tone immediately put Gu Xing at ease.

This was the Veronica he knew.

The dignified appearance of Veronica just now truly made him uncomfortable.

"What's with the big display?" Gu Xing lowered his voice and asked, "I'm just here to collect some materials."

Veronica maintained a perfect smile, her lips barely moving as she quietly replied:

"You think I enjoy putting on airs? The old man insisted on seeing you; I was forced to do this too!"

Hearing the term "old man," Gu Xing immediately understood...

Verocan wanted to see him!

But upon second thought, it made sense.

After all, the Human Race's first Divine Pattern was in his possession, and now that he was on the council's territory, how could Verocan not meet him?!

Understanding this point, Gu Xing felt much more at ease.

Under everyone's attention, Veronica led him into a lavishly decorated banquet hall.

As the door slowly closed, Gu Xing surveyed this magnificent banquet hall.

Fourteen gilded long tables were arranged in a circular formation.

All twelve of the council's Monarch Level experts were present.

They were all the Monarch Level experts of the council!

The elder in the center, who bore a slight resemblance to Veronica, should be the council's chief, Verocan.

He was also a Monarch Peak expert, whose power was on par with Long Zhenguo.

The two empty seats intentionally left beside Verocan were clearly prepared for him and Veronica.

At this time, a servant respectfully guided him and Veronica to sit beside Verocan.

Once the two sat down, Verocan first broke the silence:

"Young friend Gu Xing is truly a promising talent! So young and already reached Commander Level Beast Master."

Verocan was genuinely praising, not merely agreeing.

From Veronica, he knew Gu Xing's combat power was strong, having already possessed Commander Level battle power at the Extraordinary Peak.

Now that he had reached Commander Level, his strength would only be more terrifying!

The other Monarch Levels present also began to praise him.

Gu Xing wasn't very good with such situations, so he could only nod awkwardly in response to everyone's praises.

Noticing his discomfort, Verocan changed the subject:

"The front lines are temporarily stable, the Demon Race has retreated!"

"Although the Northern Territory has completely fallen, nothing has happened to Longxia Country!"

Hearing the last sentence, Gu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried about the people in Longxia Country; now that he knew they were safe, the anxiety in his heart finally dissipated.

At this moment, Verocan's gaze turned deep, staring directly at the Divine Pattern on his forehead:

"However.... this Divine Pattern, can it really allow us to break through to Totem Level?"

Kaven finally asked the most pressing question.

But this question left Gu Xing momentarily speechless.

The current discovery of the Divine Pattern's function was indeed limited—

Besides sensing parts of Blue Star's situation and manipulating Spiritual Qi, it seemed to have no special effect.

As for helping a Monarch Peak to breakthrough to Totem Level?

That was something he was even more clueless about.

And during this period, based on the information received from Vera.

It seemed more like a condensation of a race's fortune.

The Demon Race's capturing of the Divine Pattern was essentially usurping a race's fortune.

A race that loses its Divine Pattern quickly falls into decline until extinction in a short period.

He speculated that to truly understand the use of the Divine Pattern...

Perhaps he would have to reach Totem Level to fully comprehend it.

At this time, Verocan also read the answer from Gu Xing's expression.

He sighed lightly.

The Human Race's history in the Alternate Space was too short.

He, Long Zhenguo, and the Empress from the Holy See, had not been at Monarch Peak for long.

Through the World Tree's enlightenment, they knew only the Human Race with a Divine Pattern had a chance to enter Totem Level!

But the subsequent questions from Verocan made Gu Xing increasingly uneasy.

Verocan even began asking about his personal feelings and, indirectly, if he had any girls he fancied.

Just as the awkwardness was about to reach its peak, the torturous banquet finally ended.

Once again, it was Veronica who took him away.

As they were leaving, Veronica slipped an item into his hand.

[Cold Marrow]

[Function: Enhance the talent of the Profound Frost Ice Phoenix]

Just as Gu Xing was about to express his gratitude, Veronica waved him off:

"Don't start with that!"

"This thing isn't that important!"

But then she paused, her tone suddenly serious:

"There's been a change in the Blood-colored Church recently, and all our connections with them are cut off. If you're planning to go there... be careful."

Upon hearing Veronica's kind reminder, Gu Xing nodded, indicating he understood.

As for Veronica, just as she was about to leave, she suddenly paused:

"By the way, there's something the old man was too embarrassed to say."

"Gu Xing, if in the future the council faces difficulties, please lend a hand to the council. As for the reward..."

Even someone with Veronica's personality rarely showed such embarrassment.

That insufferably frivolous old man!

After silently cursing him, she turned to look at Gu Xing, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

She took a deep breath to maintain a calm tone.

"As for the reward... it definitely won't disappoint you!"

Hearing this, Gu Xing nodded, agreeing to the request.

He knew Verocan valued his potential, which is why he made such a request.

But he had a positive impression of the council, even if Veronica hadn't mentioned it today....

In the future, if the council encountered any difficulty, he surely wouldn't stand by!

Afterward, he bid farewell to Veronica and prepared to head towards the Blood-colored Church.

However, he made a slight change to the route.

Originally, he planned to reach the Alternate Space through the Blood-colored Church's Void Gate, but now with changes there...

He chose to directly enter the Alternate Space through the council's Gate of Space!
