My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Gu Xing stood quietly to one side, watching the father and daughter embracing, an involuntary comforting smile lifting the corners of his mouth.

This ending could hardly have been better.

He quietly stepped back a few paces, leaving the space of reunion entirely to Liu Ye and Liu Li.

Then he walked slowly to Milos' side.

At this moment, Milos' face was brimming with uncontrollable joy—

After this battle, Liu Li's position as heir is almost a certainty!

Seeing his expression, Gu Xing couldn't help but display a wry smile.

He lowered his voice and spoke slowly:

"Now that Jia Bailuo's status as an heir has been abolished, and there are three heirs lacking one…"

"I think, Lanny is a good choice."

Though the words were subtle, Milos grasped the meaning instantly.

This suggestion hit right at his heart!

He immediately nodded, turned to the Judgment Angel, and spoke solemnly:

"Since Jia Bailuo has been stripped of their heir qualification, why not let Lanny fill in as the third heir?"

The Judgment Angel was initially stunned by the words, then suddenly realized—

Now Liu Li has the strong support from the War Angel and the Order Angel, and Lanny holds close relations with Liu Li.

This means that there's at least a fifty percent chance Lanny might win the ultimate inheritance rights.

If that's the case, why not follow the flow?

Having understood this point, the Judgment Angel nodded solemnly.

In the next moment, his authoritative voice echoed throughout the Holy City:

"By the decree, starting now—"

"Lanny shall fill the position as the third heir!"

Leia heard the proclamation, her face turning suddenly as dark as ink.

Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched tightly, nails digging deep into her palm, eyes flashing with unwillingness and resentment, yet ultimately not acting on them.

The tide has turned, disputing further now would only be self-humiliation.

She cast a cold glance at Lanny and finally fixed her gaze on the embracing father and daughter Liu Ye, biting her lips into a cold line, searing this humiliation and resentment deep within her heart.

Meanwhile, Jia Bailuo's previously scattered gaze gathered abruptly upon hearing the announcement—

The position that was supposed to belong to him, his glory, is now taken by another!

He staggered and sat on the ground, the last glimmer in his eyes extinguishing completely.

With all processes settled,

The identities of the three heirs were finally confirmed.

The Judgment Angel surveyed the scene, his voice solemn and resonant:

"Tomorrow marks the official commencement of the heir trials—"

"The one who passes through the final trial shall become the Angel Race's new heir!"

This proclamation was like a massive stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring towering waves at the scene!

Cheers rose like tides, the entire Holy City awash with excitement and anticipation.

According to the divine oracle of the Angel God, once the heir is determined....

That will herald the rise of the entire Angel Race!

Now under Liu Ye's leadership, although the Angel Race can stabilize without further retreat.

However, to completely expel the Demon Race from this world....

The new heir must lead!

...

Elsewhere, at the entrance of the third Divine Secret Realm, the atmosphere was as heavy as iron.

After prolonged and tense standoff, the forces of the Human Race, Fierce Beast, and Demon Race finally reached a fragile reconciliation—

All grudges shall be settled within the realm, deciding life and death!

However, this time the Secret Realm has undergone a shocking transformation influenced by the Void Insect Race's invasion:

Its admission threshold has unexpectedly been broadened from Monarch Level to Totem Level!

Because of this, Long Zhenguo's expression was extremely grim.

Despite having poured resources and devoted efforts into intense training recently, achieving considerable advancement,

They are still separated by a seemingly insurmountable chasm from the true Totem Level.

If unable to breakthrough, they will be forever trapped in the Half-step Totem Realm, never advancing a step further in their life.

"Yueli..." Long Zhenguo's voice was hoarse, turning towards Tushan Yueli beside him, "What do you think are our chances in this trip to the realm?"

Tushan Yueli was silent for a long time, her long eyelashes slightly lowered, before finally speaking slowly:

"Less than ten percent."

"The Fierce Beast side has Monarch level bloodlines presiding, while the Demon Race sends several Totem level strongmen... yet our Human Race fights only as lone warriors."

Her voice was calm, yet each word was like an icy spike, piercing into everyone's hearts.

What is more painful is that Vera and Qing Shuang, neither of them is willing to lend the Human Race a hand.

Thus, the Human Race's situation becomes even more dire.

And Long Zhenguo naturally understands this point well.

Long Zhenguo took a deep breath, the despondency in his eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by a desperate resolve:

"Even so, we must fight!"

"The Human Race Divine Pattern concerns the continuation of our race's destiny... even if there's only a glimmer of hope, we must not let it fall into others' hands!"

But then he issued an order, his voice decisive:

"Those entering the realm this time must be Monarch Level, without attachment, and harboring a willingness to die!"

He cannot let the elite of the Human Race be sacrificed here.

Tushan Yueli also understands the gravity of the situation.

She gave no objections, merely silently bowing to Long Zhenguo, offering her assurance:

"Old Dragon, rest assured, I will do my utmost to ensure the survival of the entire Human Race."

Being from the Alien Race, she is unable to enter the Secret Realm and can only maintain the overall situation of the Human Race outside the Divine Secret Realm.

Quickly, a team comprised of the Human Race's most elite forces assembled silently—

Church Court Empress, Verocan, Wei Yuan, Lei Zhan....

And at the end of the team, Qin Chuxue stood quietly in her white attire, silently clutching her sword.

Long Zhenguo cast a glance at her, his brows furrowed:

"Chuxue, let us old bones handle this time."

"Your talent is second only to Gu Xing, you are the future hope of the Human Race, no need to enter this desperate realm."

However, as Long Zhenguo's gaze passed Qin Chuxue, he spoke at once:

But Qin Chuxue merely gently brushed her snow-colored long sword, her eyes calm as water:

"I want to go."

After breaking through to Monarch Level, she tempered her mind in battles, cutting through demons, and reached the Monarch Peak in just a few months,

She is acclaimed by the world as "the foremost after Gu Xing".

Long Zhenguo gazed at her for a moment, finally sighing deeply, no longer saying anything.

He knows the temperament of this young woman well, once determined, she will not turn back even in the face of death.

"Alright!" He suddenly lifted his head, his voice resounding like a bell,

"Then let us go together— witness the true nature of this so-called Divine Secret Realm!"

As he spoke, the energies around the Human Race began to surge, streams of radiant light shooting skyward, resolutely plunging into the light-shrouded Secret Realm entrance!

Almost at that very moment—

From within the Fierce Beast camp, a heaven-shattering roar erupted!

Cold Snake!

After leaving the Snow Domain, it wandered and circled until it arrived here, becoming the leader of a group of fierce beasts.

Now, it too led a band of fierce beasts, entering the door of the Divine Secret Realm.

The Demon Race was unwilling to show weakness either.

Led by three Totem-level Demon Clan, who sneered coldly, Demonic Qi surging like a black tide,

Their figures turned into three shadowy figures distorting space, swiftly slipping into the Light Gate!

The three factions, each with their own schemes and intentions, yet none hesitated—

The entrance of the Divine Secret Realm, like a greedy giant mouth, swallowed all contenders in an instant.
