My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 494 - 495: Sally, Origin!

"I called you into this realm and granted you a fragment of my awareness as your system!"

"Your achievements have fully met what I hoped for!"

As these revelations sank in, Gu Xing felt a torrent of feelings surging inside him.

Fury?

Not at all!

He had grown up as an orphan back in his original world, never knowing warmth from anyone.

Here in this realm, he discovered companions, kin, and even Guardian Beasts he could rely on completely.

By all reason, gratitude toward this goddess should fill him even more.

Drawing in a steady breath, he waited a while until the turmoil in his heart settled.

Afterward, he lifted his gaze gradually, fixing it on the hazy form ahead, and uttered his words deliberately:

"So why hold back from stepping in yourself?"

"Given your strength, even a fraction of it, wiping out the Demon Abyss entirely would be straightforward, wouldn't it? Why orchestrate such an elaborate plan and endure for tens of thousands of years?"

The goddess shook her head softly.

"No, that won't work."

"Ever since we shattered the Primordial World, it's like a binding chain formed between her and me."

"Our own strength can't be used directly, and moreover, our full might..."

"The broken world couldn't endure it at all!"

"A mere touch on the surviving fragments could spark a disastrous chain reaction."

"That's why we turned our leftover power into nine Divine Positions each!"

"She handed those nine Divine Positions to her mightiest nine Demon Generals, the ones you recognize as the second through tenth Demon Gods."

"As for me..."

The goddess's eyes glided across Gu Xing, as though piercing the emptiness to glimpse those distant realms.

"I chose not to give my nine Divine Positions straight to any individual; I blended them into the surviving world instead!"

"Only those favored by the world's will can stir them awake, claim them, and carry these Divine Positions."

"The Divine Positions held by your Guardian Beasts... they all stem from this source."

These disclosures struck Gu Xing's thoughts with profound impact.

He had never imagined the Divine Positions truly sprang from the essences of the two realms.

Yet, grasping the full picture now brought a wave of ease to his chest.

Being a tool in someone's hands doesn't bother him.

But serving blindly without knowledge does.

With this world's will laying everything bare before him, it sparked a touch of favor in Gu Xing toward it.

Regarding the clash of beliefs between her and the first Demon God...

How does that concern him?!

The instant he entered this realm, his fate intertwined with the Human Race's.

Since the first Demon God seeks dominion for the Demon Race over everything.

He'll naturally rise against the first Demon God!

With everything clear in his mind, Gu Xing voiced steadily:

"I get it! I'll halt her!"

Gu Xing's response drew a clear breath of ease from the goddess.

Should he have turned her down, she truly would lack any way to counter him.

His agreement marked the ideal turn of events.

Next, she lifted her hand with grace, and a gentle, softly glowing speck—holding the essence of all things—rose from her finger, floating lazily toward Gu Xing.

Though the speck seemed small, it carried an aura Gu Xing knew well.

"This Divine Position hasn't been merged into the world yet! It remains fully unclaimed, brimming with boundless potential."

"I grant it to you now; this stands as my final aid to you."

Her voice turned faint and distant after those words, while her form began dissolving like drifting fog.

"You've now secured six of the nine Divine Positions!"

"I'm certain the last three will soon come into your grasp."

"In closing, may you triumph!"

As her final words faded, the stunning silhouette vanished entirely, breaking into shimmering particles that blended into the boundless emptiness, erasing all signs of her.

Simultaneously, the soft glow eased into Gu Xing's Beast Taming Space.

He already held a plan for assigning this Divine Position.

Once Gu Xing took hold of the Divine Position, the landscape around shifted swiftly backward, resembling footage played in reverse.

The environment reversed like a film strip unspooling, pulling back at speed. Emptiness, illusory realms, linking strands...

All elements rushed away, growing indistinct.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Xing's awareness snapped back.

He remained rooted in his spot.

Before him loomed the massive Demon Gate, with his worried Guardian Beasts nearby.

During his mental encounter with that goddess, his physical form had stayed put right here.

"Master, are you okay?"

Liu Li eyed Gu Xing's condition with worry.

From the sealing of the Demon Abyss by Tushan Yueli until this moment, Gu Xing had frozen in place.

Her calls went unanswered no matter what.

She feared something terrible had befallen him, only for him to stir back to life so strangely.

"I'm fine!"

Noting the worry in Liu Li's gaze, Gu Xing moved closer, clasping her hand warmly in his.

"I just uncovered some vital truths!"

Liu Li's surprise flickered at his statement, yet she held back from probing.

She trusted he'd share whenever he chose to.

On the side, Vera and Qing Shuang watched the moment between Gu Xing and Liu Li.

A hint of envy stirred in both their hearts.

Still, they comprehended it.

Liu Li occupied a unique spot in Gu Xing's world, just as he did in hers.

Before, Gu Xing hadn't acknowledged his emotions, leaving them a spark of possibility.

But at present...

They shared a look, catching the shadow of loss in one another's stare.

In the end... defeat claimed them!

Oblivious to Vera and Qing Shuang's inner turmoil, Gu Xing shifted his attention to Sally.

The young cat girl had managed to locate the final two Divine Pattern Fragments during his exchange with that awareness.

Gazing at the pair of Divine Pattern Fragments clutched by the young cat girl, Gu Xing paused in astonishment.

Their emergence right then caught him off guard.

Reflecting on it, though, calm settled over him.

Likely, that presence had intentionally drawn the Divine Pattern Fragments from the time stream to this point.

Gu Xing then pulled the earlier fragment from his Beast Taming Space.

The trio of fragments united in a flash, pulled by some unseen pull, snapping and fusing seamlessly.

Suddenly, a flawless Divine Pattern materialized in front of Gu Xing, its glow eddying brightly.

Gu Xing offered Sally an affirming look, and grasping the cue, the young cat girl extended her hand to the Divine Pattern...

A dazzling burst exploded from the Divine Pattern, surging through her frame in an instant.

The timeless Time Law converged near her, making the entire area quiver faintly.

Sally's outline wavered amid the brilliance, as the ancient Time Law flowed into her like a gentle stream.

Her presence climbed sharply, a silver Divine Pattern manifesting on her brow, rippling with visions of a temporal flow.

At last, as the glow fully receded.

An overwhelming aura of ages enveloped Sally, her whole form reborn.

Through Gu Xing's view, Sally's aptitude now...

Shattered the limits of Myth entirely...

Ascending to Origin!
