My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 472 - 473: I Am Only Friends with You!

Within the Human Race territory of the Alternate Space.

Gu Xing inhaled deeply as he returned to this familiar realm, savoring the atmosphere. It might have been a psychological trick of the mind, but he felt the air of the Alternate Space and Blue Star suited his palate far better than anywhere else.

With his arms spread wide, Gu Xing seemed to embrace the entire world. When he finally opened his eyes, they burned with a clear, unwavering resolve.

Back in the Angel Realm, Liu Li had successfully seized the Divine Position. This monumental achievement had pushed Gu Xing and all his Guardian Beast totems to the level of Totem Tier Three.

Now, with Gu Xing’s full backing, Liu Li might not completely eclipse the Demon God... but the gap between them would be marginal!

Furthermore, there was a more pressing matter.

Currently, only one Demon God resides within the Alternate Space. However, as time marches on, more Demon Gods will inevitably descend upon this world.

Because of this, rather than waiting for a Demon God invasion to occur, it is far better to strike first. The proactive choice is clear: first, slay this Demon God!

Nevertheless, executing such a daring plan required meticulous preparation. At that moment, Long Zhenguo led a group to welcome him back. Seeing Gu Xing unharmed, Long Zhenguo let out a long sigh of relief.

In this era, Gu Xing was not merely the pillar of the Human Race; he had become the backbone of the entire Alternate Space.

“How did it go? Was the mission successful?” Long Zhenguo inquired with a look of concern.

Gu Xing gave a brief summary of the events involving the Ghost Realm and the Angel Realm. Then, looking at the gathered crowd, he spoke with heavy gravity:

“I have decided to move against the Demon Realm. While there is only a single Demon God in the Alternate Space, we will strike him down!”

A sudden, heavy silence followed Gu Xing’s declaration. Everyone stared at him in sheer disbelief. Had they heard him correctly? Kill a Demon God?

But as they studied Gu Xing’s expression, they realized he wasn’t joking in the slightest.

“I intend to persuade Long Qingyan and Feng Ni to join our forces. Together, the three of us will strive to eliminate Yuan. However, the Demon Realm is home to not just Yuan, but a vast legion of demons. When the time comes, you must hold those demons at bay!”

Long Zhenguo slowly looked up, meeting Gu Xing’s grim gaze. Subconsciously, he began to weigh the feasibility of such a strategy.

Currently, the Human Race is supported by several powerful allies: the Ghost Race, the Blood Race, the Angel Race, and the Dragon Race. The Dragon Race could provide high-end combatants at the Totem Level. As for the mid and low-tier forces, the combined strength of these allied races was not inferior to the Demon Race at all.

A spark of resolve ignited in Long Zhenguo’s eyes. It seemed possible!

However, the linchpin of the entire operation remained one thing: the ability of Gu Xing and his two companions to successfully execute the Demon God!

Consequently, Long Zhenguo’s face became incredibly solemn. He looked directly at Gu Xing and asked earnestly, “Are you confident?”

“Five percent!”

Hearing Gu Xing’s response, Long Zhenguo took a sharp breath. Five percent confidence was not low! If they continued to stall and waited for more Demon Gods to arrive in the Alternate Space, the Human Race’s situation would be far worse.

Clarity flashed in Long Zhenguo’s eyes. “If that is the case, then we shall do as you say! I will lead the unified races of the Alternate Space toward the Demon Realm... and declare war!”

...Once the objective was set, the Human Race began to function with the speed and precision of a high-end machine.

Tushan Yueli acted as the core of this operation, rationally balancing the military power of every race involved. The Qingqiu Race, Dragon Race, Ghost Race, and Blood Race were all mobilized.

It wasn't just the major powers, either. Even the smaller clans, such as the Cat Race and the Magma Clan, were given specific roles by Tushan Yueli.

Initially, the chance of holding off the Demon Race long enough for Gu Xing to kill the Demon God was perhaps 60%. Under Tushan Yueli’s management, that probability was pushed to 90%.

While the other races were preoccupied with preparations, Gu Xing sought out Long Qingyan and Feng Ni.

“Seniors, I wish to invite you to help me slay the Demon God!”

Both were stunned by his request. After a long silence, Feng Ni spoke with deep meaning.

“Gu Xing, do you realize... back then, the Dragon Emperor assembled the pseudo-god level experts of the entire Alternate Space to kill a Demon God, yet they failed! Do you truly believe the three of us have a chance to kill one now?”

Gu Xing didn't answer immediately, turning instead to Long Qingyan. “Senior Long Qingyan, what is your opinion?”

“What?” Long Qingyan snapped back to reality at the sound of her name. Recently, her memories had almost completely returned. Because of this, she struggled with how to face Gu Xing—this truly exceptional human.

She had been lost in her own thoughts, but Gu Xing’s voice pulled her back. Gu Xing didn't seem to mind her distraction; instead, he repeated his request with solemn emphasis.

“Senior Long Qingyan, I am inviting you to join me in confronting the Demon God!”

She froze for a moment upon hearing the request. Confront the Demon God? A flicker of pure hatred crossed her eyes. Dragon Island had been laid to waste, and her father had died at the Demon God's hands. All those debts had to be settled with Yuan.

With only a moment's hesitation, Long Qingyan gave her consent. Seeing her agree, Gu Xing turned back to Feng Ni.

“Senior Feng Ni, I cannot guarantee we can kill the Demon God. But I do know that if I don't try, the Human Race will live under a permanent shadow of fear. You have no kin, so I don't know if you can understand my perspective. Regardless of what you choose, I won't complain.”

“The debt of gratitude I owed you was settled the moment you protected the Human Race before. Therefore, I have no right to force you to risk your life against a Demon God. This is a battle where death is likely! I only hope the Human Race can maintain a lasting bond with you. If we fail, I beg you to look after the ordinary humans.”

Gu Xing bowed deeply to Feng Ni, a gesture of profound sincerity. Feng Ni was taken aback. Gu Xing was right; as a Celestial and Earthly Spirit Beast of the Alternate Space, she was a solitary creature. She couldn't comprehend why he would risk everything for his race.

With Gu Xing’s talent, he could easily survive on his own even if the Demon God invaded. Yet, he chose the most dangerous path. While she didn't understand his logic, she understood one specific thing.

Feng Ni looked into Gu Xing’s eyes and said clearly, “I have no bond with the Human Race; I only have a bond with you!”

As the most powerful Fierce Beast in the Alternate Space, she possessed her own immense pride. Her willingness to protect humans was entirely for Gu Xing’s sake. She had no interest in being friends with the entire Human Race.

“Therefore, as your friend, I will help you this time!”
