My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

Gu Xing's gaze fell on Little Lizi, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes.

He slowly squatted down to meet her eye level.

"Little Lizi."

Gu Xing's voice became unusually gentle.

He extended his ethereal finger, gently touching the center of Little Lizi's brow.

"Fear is not shameful! But don't let fear blind the courage within your heart."

A vast stream of information gently entered Little Lizi's sea of consciousness.

It was the Beast Master Awakening Array, and also...

The Beast Taming Contract Array!

At the same time, Gu Xing helped Little Lizi awaken directly!

A blue light suddenly appeared on Little Lizi's body.

This also meant...

Little Lizi's awakening was complete.

After doing all this, Gu Xing stood up, his gaze sweeping over the utterly silent crowd.

Then his voice clearly echoed throughout the cave:

"From today, Little Lizi will be the inheritor of this power, passing down my strength!"

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone looked incredulously at the thin, small girl with coal dust on her face!

Let her... be the leader?

Inherit such an important... seed of power?

She's just a child!

And Little Lizi herself, just realizing, was also stunned.

Her little face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Gu Xing helplessly, her eyes filled with panic:

"I... I can't do it..."

"Brother Xing... I... I don't know anything..."

Gu Xing looked at her, his eyes showing a hint of encouragement:

"You can do it, Little Lizi, you possess a precious quality that no one else has!"

"The courage to stand out even in despair!"

"And, Little Lizi..."

"Never forget! I am also an ordinary person! We are all ordinary people!"

After finishing, Gu Xing didn't give Little Lizi a chance to speak, he turned to look at Long Qingyan and Sally:

"We should leave now!"

After saying this, Gu Xing directly turned and left.

He had already done everything he could.

The seed of hope had been planted.

Too much protection would stifle growth.

The future path is one they need to walk themselves.

And he had his own path to walk.

The Divine Patterns of the Time Spirit Race were still waiting for him.

And Long Qingyan, seeing Gu Xing's back, looked at the frozen human race in the audience.

She opened her mouth, wanting to question Gu Xing:

All this effort to save this group of humans.

And now leaving so easily?

But seeing Sally unhesitatingly following, she swallowed her own questions.

This human must have his reasons!

No matter what, it seemed everything was in this human's control.

The mysterious power that descended on her before, even without mastering the Law Body...

With that power's support, she could successfully annihilate those two from the Demon Race.

Thinking of this, Long Qingyan also took a step to follow.

While Little Lizi watched the departing back of Gu Xing, then looked around at the countless complex gazes focused on her.

She bit her lip hard, her small fist clenched tightly, her nails deeply embedding into her palms.

The immense pressure nearly suffocated her.

But Gu Xing's words, especially the phrase we are all ordinary people...

Continued to provide her strength!

She took a deep breath, as if summoning all her strength.

She shouted at Gu Xing's back, with a voice that was trembling yet exceptionally resolute:

"Brother Xing! I... I'll try my best! I won't let you down!"

"Next time we meet..."

"I'll show you someone who fights to the death against the Demon Race, a renewed human race!"

Gu Xing's stride paused slightly, but he didn't turn back:

"I believe in you."

"Next time we meet, I'll be waiting to see!"

...

Simultaneously.

Not far from Black Stone City.

The sky seemed to be torn open by a wound.

The dark red clouds spun violently, forming a gigantic vortex.

Accompanied by the sound of space tearing, a figure wrapped in dense black and red Demonic Qi.

Fell like a meteor from the vortex's center, fiercely crashing into a charred mountain range!

"Boom——!!!"

The ground shook and mountains swayed!

Smoke mixed with Demonic Qi soared into the sky, forming a massive mushroom cloud.

Centered on the impact point, the ground within a few miles cracked like glass, forming a huge crater.

In the center of the crater, Feng Ni's enormous phoenix form faintly emerged.

But at this moment, she had long lost her former sanctity.

The originally radiant scarlet-gold feathers, now mostly eroded by the foul Demonic Qi.

The most unsettling were her eyes, once like blazing suns.

Now, one eye had completely turned into pure black, filled with violence and a desire for destruction!

While the other eye flickered and struggled fiercely between black and the remnants of gold and red!

The last trace of gold and red was incredibly weak.

"Roar——!"

A cry filled with pain and rage erupted from her throat!

She was being completely devoured and transformed by the Demonic Qi!

Once that last bit of clarity faded, there would be no more Phoenix Feng Ni in the world.

Only a being embodying destruction and chaos...

The Black Phoenix Demon God!

And at the moment Feng Ni fell into the Demon Abyss.

In the deepest part of the Demon Abyss, within an eternal, absolute darkness that could swallow even light.

A pair of scarlet eyes, as if having slept for countless ages, slowly opened.

Eyes devoid of any emotion, filled only with an authority that looked down on everything.

It was the Demon God Abyss!

"Hmm?"

A faint exclamation echoed in this silent darkness.

Yuan's terrifying spiritual power swept across the entire Demon Abyss in an instant.

"A new Demon God?"

A ripple of motion appeared in Yuan's consciousness.

Though the Demon Abyss was ruled by the strong, chaos and slaughter were the norm.

Yet for every true Demon God that emerged, the Demon Abyss's overall power grew stronger.

Especially at this pivotal moment of planning an invasion of a new world, the birth of a new Demon God could certainly be a valuable pawn.

His spiritual power quickly locked onto the source of that aura.

"The Black Stone City territory?"

"Interesting... to have fallen in this place! It seems she should belong under my command."

Without hesitation, the body of Demon God Yuan, residing in endless darkness, slightly moved.

In the next moment, the dark red sky over Black Stone City silently tore like a curtain!

A presence that merely existed caused the surrounding laws to wail, quietly descended!

The terrifying Demon God's pressure, like the collapsing sky, instantly enveloped the entire mountain range!

Feng Ni, who had been struggling madly just moments before, suddenly froze in her actions.

The last bit of struggling golden-red gaze dimmed slightly in the face of such absolute power!

The indifferent gaze of the Demon God Yuan fell on Feng Ni, who was in the midst of transforming into the Black Phoenix, within the crater.

"Not a bad talent... but unfortunately, the transformation is incomplete!"

"Abandon your struggle! Submit to me, and I can grant you eternal life!"
