My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 470 - 471: I’ve Decided to Stay!

The instant the crown made contact with Liu Li’s brow,

it felt as though an unseen hand had slowed the very passage of time.

The silver crown appeared mundane, yet the second it was placed upon her head,

an ancient seal that had remained dormant for eons suddenly flared into life!

"Buzz——!"

A deep, majestic vibration echoed through the spiritual depths of every living soul!

Those possessing angelic bloodlines, in particular, felt a primal shiver originating from the very core of their lineage!

Liu Li’s frame shook with intensity!

In that fleeting moment,

a boundless, comforting energy flooded her body, channeled through the silver crown.

This was the final piece of the puzzle she required to exert total control over this realm!

Liu Li’s golden eyes snapped wide.

Within her pupils, countless pale gold runes flickered, rapidly shifting, merging, and unraveling.

These sacred, ancient symbols each represented a specific natural law governing the Angel Realm.

Enveloped by this tidal wave of information, Liu Li’s consciousness transcended her physical shell, soaring and expanding without limit!

She witnessed...

Not merely the stone tiles of the Holy City Square, but the entire sprawling landscape of the Angel Realm.

She saw the peaks, the rivers, the woodlands, and the sprawling metropolises...

She observed the lingering traces of Demonic Qi being scrubbed away by the Power of Heaven and Earth, like dirt being washed from a surface.

She saw the myriad angelic citizens looking toward her, their expressions radiating pure devotion.

Simultaneously,

Gu Xing sensed that as Liu Li donned the crown,

an ethereal bridge was forged between her and the entirety of the Angel Realm.

The colossal power of the world was flowing into Liu Li, merging with her at a staggering velocity!

"The world itself is answering her call..."

Gu Xing watched in awe.

The scene reminded him of when Qing Shuang inherited power in the Ghost Realm, yet there was a distinct difference.

Qing Shuang had received the legacy of a world’s will that had passed on.

In contrast, Liu Li was being hailed as the new sovereign by a world’s will that was still alive and vibrant, merely having been asleep!

The transformation lasted roughly a minute, though for the spectators, it felt like an age had passed.

When Liu Li finally opened her eyes, they had been completely transformed.

Deep within her gaze, it looked as if two celestial galaxies were concealed, with countless sparks of light shimmering in the void.

A golden diamond-shaped mark had also manifested on her forehead.

Her aura had undergone a fundamental evolution.

Before, her power was overt and possessed a sharp, destructive edge.

Now, her presence was restrained, deep, and enigmatic.

Her every motion appeared to be in perfect harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth.

She lifted her hand slightly, exerting none of her personal strength.

With just a single thought.

"Rustle——"

Across the square, the flora that had been charred and withered by the fires of war

began to push out fresh green buds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A miracle! This is truly a miracle!"

Countless citizens were moved to sobbing, falling to their knees to offer their most profound reverence to their new monarch.

Amidst these cries of faith, Liu Li achieved total mastery over her new power.

Under her guidance, the scars of battle across the land were swiftly mended.

The Demonic Qi throughout the world was rapidly purged as she deliberately dispersed the corruption.

Even the severed limb of the Demon God was transformed into nourishment for the world at that moment.

The entire realm seemed to revert to its pristine state before the Demon invasion.

Eventually, Liu Li’s surging power began to recede into her body.

This signaled that she had fully integrated the inheritance.

She had officially become the Angel Realm’s...

New ruler!

The square was filled with an endless roar of cheers and worship.

However, Liu Li shifted her attention toward Lanny, who stood nearby.

"Lanny."

Lanny was momentarily dazed, unsure what instructions the new queen had for her.

But she adjusted to her new status immediately.

She had already fully stepped down from her previous role as the sovereign.

Advancing a few steps, she bowed with deep respect:

"What are Your Majesty’s commands?"

Observing this, Liu Li spoke plainly:

"I am unable to remain here for a long duration."

"I must follow my master to explore the wider reaches of the universe."

"However, the administration and daily functioning of the Angel Realm still require a leader."

She gazed at Lanny with eyes full of confidence:

"You are well-versed in the arts of governance! Furthermore, you have demonstrated your bravery and sense of duty during the crisis."

"In my absence, you shall act as the regent, overseeing all matters of the Angel Realm."

Lanny was utterly stunned by the declaration.

She had never been one to hunger for authority.

When she abdicated the throne, she did so without any intention of reclaiming it.

But hearing Liu Li’s words...

Her eyes drifted toward Gu Xing instinctively.

Suddenly, a sense of clarity washed over her.

Of course.

If she were in Liu Li’s position, she likely would have chosen the same path.

How could the crown of a single world compare to staying by one’s own master?

Consequently, she performed a deep, respectful bow.

Taking a steadying breath, Lanny stepped back, sank onto one knee, and gave a solemn oath:

"Lanny vows to honor Your Majesty’s command!"

Liu Li gave a small nod of approval.

Then she turned around, her gaze lingering on Liu Ye, Gu Xing, Qing Shuang, and Vera.

With the divine throne of the Angel Realm secured, the primary goal of their journey had been fulfilled.

It was time to depart.

Liu Li looked at Liu Ye, a questioning glint in her eyes:

"Father, do you intend to return with us?"

Though Liu Ye originated from an Alternate Space, his long tenure in the Angel Realm had caused him to slowly view himself as part of this world.

Thus, Liu Li wanted to confirm what her father truly desired.

Upon hearing her question, the smile on Liu Ye’s face dimmed slightly, and he fell into a brief, thoughtful silence.

He had always believed he craved a return to his birthplace.

Yet, when presented with the choice, he found himself wavering.

He looked out over the land that was just beginning to heal from the war, and at the angelic people who were scarred but hopeful.

The years he had spent here—especially leading the resistance against the Demon Race—

had woven his destiny into the very fabric of this land without him even realizing it.

Subconsciously, he had come to view the protection of this place as his own sacred duty.

This realm had become a second home, a place where he had poured his soul and found it impossible to abandon.

More importantly, regarding the Blazing Angels Race...

Liu Li was now capable of carrying the legacy of the Blazing Angels herself.

His final connection to his old world had been severed.

As for Liu Li...

She was now the sovereign of this world, and as her father, he felt he should stay to help her protect it.

Finally, Liu Ye’s eyes rested on Lanny and the others as he reached a conclusion.

A look of peace settled on his face.

"Liu Li, Gu Xing."

"I... will not be going back with you."

Hearing this, a look of expected understanding crossed Liu Li’s face.

Gu Xing also nodded subtly, as if he had already guessed this would happen.

Looking at Gu Xing, Liu Ye added a final request:

"Please deliver a message to Liu Xia for me. Tell her..."

"I have found a new purpose in another world, and I am living well."

"Understood!"

After their final farewells,

Gu Xing began the journey home accompanied by his Guardian Beasts.
