My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 407 - 408: I’m Already Dead!
"Savior?"
Gu Xing’s mind was completely captivated by these three words, his gaze fixated on the spectacle before him.
In the scene, which had originally been filled with despair, a dazzling golden figure appeared...
Like a light tearing through the darkness, it descended suddenly!
The figure’s features were indistinguishable; even its gender and race were unclear.
Only a supreme aura, transcending understanding and towering over all things, could be felt.
Once it appeared, the rampant Demonic Qi melted away like ice and snow, and the crumbling defenses instantly stabilized.
The Dragon Emperor’s voice, tinged with a trace of reverence, rose slowly:
"Yes, a true Savior."
"His arrival turned the tide, offering this land a brief respite."
As the scene shifted, the war had entered a stalemate.
Yet, time was the greatest enemy of false gods.
The Elf Empress, who fought alongside the Dragon Emperor until the end...
Even possessing the Life Law, she ultimately couldn’t escape the constraints of universal rules, and her life reached its end.
"Fortunately, with the Life Law, she forcibly lived a second life!"
"But later, it was said that the Elf Clan was attacked by the Demon Race, and she still perished!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing instantly realized...
The disaster that struck the Elf Clan was during that time.
But how did the Demon Race eventually handle it?
Gu Xing urgently asked, "What happened afterward?"
The Dragon Emperor, however, shook his head:
"I don’t know. Much of what the Savior did surpasses my understanding."
"I only know that shortly after the Elf Empress’s demise, a cataclysm involving the entire Alternate Space occurred."
"When everything calmed, all Demon Gods were sealed by an unimaginable power, imprisoned in the deepest part of the Demon Abyss."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xing was filled with curiosity about the mysterious Savior.
Yet at the same time, a huge question surfaced in his mind:
All the strong false gods had fallen, so why had the Dragon Emperor alone...
Survived that catastrophe and lived to this day?
How did he endure these countless years?
The Dragon Emperor seemed to perceive his thoughts, showing a complex and indescribable smile.
"You’re wondering why everyone else has passed, and I’m the only one still alive, right?"
The Dragon Emperor’s voice was terrifyingly calm.
Gu Xing instinctively nodded.
The Dragon Emperor gazed at him, clearly stating each word:
"The answer is simple! Because..."
"I have long since died."
"What?!"
The statement was like a thunderbolt, exploding in Gu Xing’s mind!
He looked up suddenly, his pupils contracting sharply, his face full of disbelief!
Dead?
The Dragon Emperor said he had already died?
How was this possible!
The majestic and imposing Dragon Emperor before him, how could he be a dead man?!
The entire cavern plunged into a deathly silence, the sound of a pin drop audible.
Gu Xing could even hear the frenzied beating of his own heart.
The Dragon Emperor seemed very satisfied with Gu Xing’s reaction and continued in his calm, unwavering tone:
"That’s also why, ever since Qing Yan awoke, I’ve never dared nor been able to meet her."
His gaze drifted towards the entrance of the cave, laden with deep remorse:
"As soon as we meet, with her current strength, she would instantly sense my anomaly."
"I...don’t want her to face this cruel truth, don’t want her to endure the pain of losing her father right after awakening."
To prove his words, the Dragon Emperor slowly raised his hand.
In the next moment, under Gu Xing’s horrified gaze, the Dragon Emperor’s once solid form started to become transparent, illusory!
As if shedding an outer garment, revealing the true nature within!
Where was there any flesh and blood?
What lay before Gu Xing was a silhouette condensed from countless intertwined, flashing, and extremely complex Law chains!
Power Law, Space Law, Time Law, Dragon Race origin...
Such incredibly powerful Laws, forcibly blended together in an unbelievable way, barely sustaining the form of the Dragon Emperor!
"This...this..."
Gu Xing opened his mouth but found himself unable to utter any words.
The scene before him had completely upended his understanding!
To form a body with Laws as its bones, what kind of heaven-defying method was this?
What kind of terrifying Realm and understanding of the Laws was needed to achieve this?
And what kind of existence carried out all this?
The Dragon Emperor waved his hand again, the Laws fading away, and he returned to his majestic and real appearance as if everything just now was an illusion.
"Now, do you understand?"
The Dragon Emperor looked at the still-dazed Gu Xing, "Upon hearing all this, what do you feel?"
Gu Xing took several deep breaths, barely suppressing the turmoil within him.
He forced himself to calm down.
Then a glimmer of hope lit up in his eyes, and he asked eagerly:
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor! According to what you’ve said, the Demon Race was sealed by that Savior."
"Can we find him? If he could act again, wouldn’t the current crisis be easily resolved?"
This was the most direct and effective approach!
However, the Dragon Emperor slowly shook his head, shattering Gu Xing’s fantasy:
"It’s impossible to find him. The Savior... is no longer with us."
"After completing that unprecedented seal, he vanished completely, his whereabouts unknown, his life or death uncertain."
"Perhaps, such a magnificent existence never belonged to our time and space."
The last spark of hope was extinguished, and Gu Xing’s spirit sank to the bottom.
The Savior vanished, the Elf Empress fallen, even His Majesty the Dragon Emperor had long since perished, now merely a shell of Laws...
In the entire Alternate Space, who could stand against the ten fierce Demon Gods?
An unprecedented sense of powerlessness gripped Gu Xing’s heart.
The Dragon Emperor, observing the changes in Gu Xing’s expression, spoke calmly:
"Child, time is running out. If you have any questions, ask me now."
...
At the same time, in the Demon Realm.
The true form of Demon God Abyss had fully manifested here.
He greedily inhaled the remnants of pure Demonic Qi in this world, devouring it all.
After doing all this, Demon God Abyss’s Spiritual Power, containing endless destructive intent, began to sweep across the entire Alternate Space.
He was perceiving, sensing those scattered Divine Patterns!
Moments later, a confident smile crept to his crimson lips.
"Most of the Divine Pattern fluctuations... are concentrated in one place?"
"Dragon Island?"
"Heh heh... Seems like that old fool intends to make a last stand?"
"Fine, it saves me the trouble of searching one by one."
"I’ll start with Dragon Island, and completely bring this world into the Demon Abyss’s domain!"
Before his words had even fallen, the figure of Demon God Abyss vanished from its original spot.
In the next moment, a fearsome and overwhelming pressure, enough to change the color of the sky and earth, surged toward Dragon Island!
