My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 489 - 490: The River of Time Begins Anew!

Over this period, Sally had been steadily building her strength, gearing up for the upcoming activation of the Time River.

But on this occasion, the surging energy from the Demon God Abyss lets her entirely bypass that buildup stage.

At Gu Xing's directive, Sally didn't waver for a second.

She dove right into drawing in that immense power.

In the meantime, Gu Xing didn't sit still either, guiding several Guardian Beasts toward the heart of the Demon Realm.

Right before the leftover nine Demon Gates.

The tenth Demon Gate had fully vanished following Yuan's demise.

The other nine Demon Gates each linked to one of the surviving nine Demon Gods.

After giving them a thorough scan, Gu Xing noticed golden sealing patterns hovering over those nine Demon Gates.

He probed them closely, sensing a power that felt strangely recognizable.

Still, for the life of him, he couldn't pinpoint where he'd encountered it previously.

Right then, though.

Tushan Yueli, Long Zhenguo, and the rest had wrapped up the chaos on the battlefield and made their way over.

Long Zhenguo stepped up to Gu Xing, ready to say something, but Gu Xing cut him off.

"Old Long, I'm part of the Alternate Space too, so spare me the thanks."

Long Zhenguo paused at those words, then a grin tugged at his lips.

This headstrong young fellow...

After that, Long Zhenguo's eyes shifted along with Gu Xing's to the Demon Gates.

"Gu Xing, the Demon Race across the whole Alternate Space is pretty much wiped out now, and the Demon God Abyss is done for."

"If we keep those leftover Demon Gates sealed, the entire Alternate Space should hold steady!"

"You've been nonstop lately; maybe use this breather to relax a bit."

Gu Xing just shook his head at Long Zhenguo's idea.

"Old Long, something tells me the Demon Abyss isn't so straightforward."

"We'll sort it all out once I fix the Time River and reveal every secret!"

Gu Xing burned with curiosity now about who had locked away the Demon Abyss.

Was it really him pulling the strings alongside the Elf Empress?

Plus, those humans trapped in the Demon Abyss...

What fate had befallen them?

Because of that, he chose to press on without pause.

Long Zhenguo saw Gu Xing's determination and didn't try to hold him back.

These days, Gu Xing's power stood at the pinnacle of the Alternate Space.

He lacked both the motive and the might to block Gu Xing's quest for answers.

He merely offered a quiet warning:

"Gu Xing, whatever happens, the Alternate Space and Blue Star are your true homes!"

"Your safety comes first, always!"

Gu Xing nodded in response to Long Zhenguo's words.

Next, his attention shifted to Sally.

By now, she had fully taken in the Demon God's scattered energy.

As Gu Xing recalled every Guardian Beast into the Beast Taming Space.

He moved steadily toward Sally, set to launch their pursuit of the hidden truths.

Sally picked up on Gu Xing's unyielding spirit.

A tremendous surge of energy burst forth from her core.

Up in the heavens, the ghostly outline of the Time River materialized once more, as familiar as ever.

With a quick nod to the others still there, Gu Xing plunged inside without a second thought.

...

Deep within the Demon Abyss.

At the Fire Camp.

The main meeting chamber in the camp's center hung thick with tension.

Li Xin occupied the top position.

Clad in a deep purple outfit crafted from fierce beast hides, she cut a striking figure of raw power and swift grace.

Her lengthy black locks were pulled back simply, exposing a clear brow and gaze as profound as midnight.

Right now, those eyes, normally so steady and insightful, brimmed with utter disbelief.

All because of the staggering report she'd just gotten... one that nearly shattered her grip on reality.

"The tenth layer... the presence of the Demon God Abyss... it's gone entirely!"

"On top of that, demon activity in the tenth layer has plummeted by more than ninety percent, elite demon signatures are basically eradicated, and Demonic Qi levels have plunged sharply, pointing toward..."

"Pointing to the Demon God's downfall!"

Li Xin laid out the shocking details.

"Whoa——!"

Several top Fire Camp officials nearby in the chamber let out sharp intakes of breath.

Shock, bewilderment, and heavy doubt swept across their features in an instant.

"The Demon God... gone?"

"Impossible! That entity lorded over the tenth layer for eons in the Demon God Abyss! What force could topple the Demon God Abyss itself?"

"Is the surveillance off? Or some ploy cooked up by the Demon God?"

"Yet the Demon God's core aura is totally erased... no way to fake that! What scheme demands the Demon God sacrifice its very essence?"

"Maybe... some colossal turmoil erupted in the tenth layer?"

A storm of urgent chatter filled the air, sending shivers through the group.

In the Demon Abyss, the Demon God's rule was unchallenged, the ultimate arbiter of order and ruin.

The Demon God's collapse was beyond their wildest nightmares!

As the debate raged on.

Li Xin lifted her hand, instantly hushing the room.

She drew in a steadying breath, wrestling down the turmoil churning inside her.

The Demon God Abyss's end...

signals total upheaval in the tenth layer's power balance.

Demons there will plunge into unheard-of disorder and frailty.

It could even trigger ripples, shaking up the neighboring eighth and ninth layers!

For the Fire Camp, forever battling demon breaches in the Abyss's fissures, this spells a precious window to regroup.

Yet the real key lies in...

The cause!

How exactly did the Demon God perish?

Infighting from the Abyss's deeper reaches?

Or a mysterious catastrophe in the Demon Abyss capable of endangering even Demon God-tier beings?

Or perhaps...

Gu Xing's face flashed abruptly in Li Xin's thoughts.

That prophesied savior?

The idea sent her pulse pounding wildly.

Beyond that mythic figure, she couldn't imagine what else could fell the Demon God.

But if this savior truly vanquished the Demon God Abyss.

Wouldn't he soon reach the tenth layer?

The notion left her quaking.

Locating this savior had been the Fire Camp's enduring mission across generations.

At last, a spark of possibility glimmered on the horizon.

While Li Xin pondered deeply, a seasoned elder advanced and posed the grave question.

"Leader, what's our next move?"

As a senior in the group, he grasped the gravity of this crisis.

After a brief reflection, Li Xin opened her eyes, resolve burning fiercely within.

"Send the command: all outposts on the front lines in the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers go to maximum alert, track every demon shift across the layers, with extra focus on the tenth layer's edge."

"Hold all operations until I give the word!"

"Understood!"

"On top of that, I'll head to the tenth layer myself."

"What?!" The room erupted in alarm.

Everyone knew Li Xin was vital to the Fire Camp's very existence.

Should harm come to her...

"Leader, you can't!"

"The tenth layer's chaos is unknown; the Demon God's fall doesn't make it safe by any means!"

But Li Xin dismissed it with a shake of her head, her voice firm and final:

"I've decided, end of debate!"

"Dismissed!"
