My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 447 - 448: Divine Position

Meanwhile, a heavy burden was lifted from Long Zhenguo’s heart upon hearing that the two were committed to remaining with the Human Race.

With Gu Xing’s return, the Human Race now possessed the protection of two Demigod-level powerhouses.

Everything was finally progressing toward a brighter future!

However, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Tushan Yueli watching Gu Xing from the sidelines in silence.

“Little Yueli, don’t you wish to be closer to Gu Xing?”

Tushan Yueli quietly suppressed the envious shimmer in her gaze.

“There is no need. This distance is enough for me.”

“Furthermore, Lord Liuli and Lady Vera would certainly prefer not to be interrupted by me at a time like this.”

Long Zhenguo found himself speechless at her response.

Having spent considerable time with Yueli, he was well aware of the depth of her feelings for Gu Xing...

Her devotion was no less than that of Liuli or Vera.

During the period of Gu Xing’s disappearance, he had often observed her...

Whenever she found a moment of peace, she would silently offer prayers before her mother's memorial shrine.

Yet, as an old man, he felt he had no place interfering in Gu Xing’s personal matters.

With a quiet sigh, he turned his eyes away.

Once he had soothed his two Guardian Beasts, Gu Xing was informed of Lilith’s vanished life aura.

Contrary to expectations, Gu Xing did not seem overly distressed by the news.

He shared a blood covenant with Lilith.

Her "perishing" was merely a consequence of him losing his physical form.

Now that his body had been reconstructed, Lilith would undoubtedly be out of danger.

After checking on the status of Snow Woman and Lilith, Gu Xing followed Long Zhenguo to a high-security zone.

Passing through a series of rigorous checkpoints, Long Zhenguo escorted Gu Xing into the most secluded depths of the base.

The moment Gu Xing entered the chamber, his attention was immediately seized by three golden Divine Patterns situated at the center!

“I have kept them stored here ever since the Divine Patterns returned last time.”

“Now that you have come back, it is only right to return them to their true master!”

At those words, Gu Xing focused his gaze on the three Divine Patterns.

As if sensing his presence, the patterns began to vibrate with intense agitation!

Gu Xing reached out slightly.

In an instant, the three patterns flew toward him and merged seamlessly into his body.

Watching this, Long Zhenguo couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.

Since their return, he had attempted to communicate with these patterns many times.

However...

The Divine Patterns had treated him with total indifference.

Yet, in front of Gu Xing, they displayed an entirely different level of enthusiasm.

Truly, such comparisons could be infuriating!

As the Divine Patterns integrated, a mysterious sigil manifested once more upon Gu Xing’s brow.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ni’s phoenix-like eyes widened in shock.

Subconsciously, she whispered:

“A Divine Position!”

Gu Xing snapped out of his trance when he heard her.

“Senior Feng Ni, what exactly is a Divine Position?”

Gu Xing was genuinely confused.

This was the second time the term had been mentioned to him.

The first instance was from the Demon God, but he’d had no opportunity to ask for details then.

Hearing it again from Feng Ni, he naturally sought a clear explanation.

Dragon Qingyan, Long Zhenguo, and the Guardian Beasts also looked on with curiosity.

The concept of a “Divine Position” was foreign to all of them.

Nevertheless, they understood it must be intrinsically linked to the Totem rank.

Without hiding anything, Feng Ni reflected for a moment before explaining:

“You are all aware that the realm above the Totem is the Divine Level, correct?”

The group nodded in unison.

“You also know the situation within the Alternate Space...”

Feng Ni paused briefly before continuing:

“In the Alternate Space, from the very beginning until now, there have only ever been Pseudo-Gods, never a True God!”

Gu Xing nodded, acknowledging her point.

He understood that the Divine Level resided above the Totem rank.

He also knew that the gap in raw power between a Pseudo-God and a True God appeared quite small.

According to what the Dragon Emperor had previously mentioned, the primary distinction was...

True Gods possess eternal life, whereas Pseudo-Gods are still bound by the limits of their lifespan.

“Lord Feng Ni, is it possible that the only difference between a Pseudo-God and a True God is their longevity?”

Gu Xing asked, voicing his skepticism directly.

Feng Ni shook her head slowly.

“It is far more complex than that! You realize that the Demon Gods are True Gods, don't you?”

“Yes!”

Gu Xing confirmed.

“Then, have you ever wondered why not a single Demon God fell during the great wars against the Demon Race?”

This question left Gu Xing momentarily stunned.

By logic, since Pseudo-Gods and True Gods possessed similar combat capabilities...

With over ten Pseudo-Gods residing in the Alternate Space, they should have been able to slay at least one Demon God, shouldn't they?

Realizing the contradiction, Gu Xing looked at Feng Ni, seeking an answer.

Feng Ni soon provided the revelation.

“The deciding factor is the Divine Position!”

As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the mark on Gu Xing’s forehead.

“Furthermore... Gu Xing, you must have sensed it; your physical form is undergoing a constant transformation.”

“Your Divine Position is likely tied to the Human Race’s Blue Star.”

Prompted by Feng Ni, Gu Xing turned his awareness inward to examine his soul.

He quickly detected an anomaly.

Deep within the core of his soul, a unique power resided...

This essence was nothing less than the collective will of the entire Blue Star.

Because of its presence, he had been able to persist in a soul state for an extended duration without any ill effects.

Feng Ni went on:

“The reason the Demon Gods are immortal is precisely because they hold Divine Positions.”

“Unless one also holds a Divine Position, it is impossible to kill them.”

“This is the primary reason the Demon Race can relentlessly invade other worlds without ever losing their strength.”

“Even in the past, when the combined forces of the Alternate Space managed to 'kill' three Demon Gods through brute force...”

“After a certain period, those same Demon Gods simply returned to existence.”

As this secret was unveiled, Gu Xing’s pupils narrowed.

It all made sense now...

No wonder the Savior had opted only to seal the Demon Abyss rather than eradicate it.

It wasn't a lack of will, but a lack of possibility.

With this realization, Gu Xing asked:

“Senior Feng Ni, what must one do to obtain a Divine Position?”

Feng Ni shook her head. “I do not know.”

“What I can tell you is that Divine Positions are incredibly rare.”

“You have already secured one; if you manage to break through to the Divine Level, you may discover the secret for yourself.”

“At that point, you would become the very first True God of the Alternate Space!”

A True God?

Gu Xing instinctively touched the mark on his forehead.

This sigil had only appeared after he gathered the three Divine Patterns of the Human Race.

Moreover, by possessing these patterns, he had gained a level of authority over Blue Star.

He had a strong suspicion that the Divine Position was bound to the planet itself.

It was likely that receiving the world’s recognition resulted in the acquisition of a Divine Position.

And that recognition seemed to be channeled through the three Divine Patterns.

If the patterns accepted a master, that master received the Divine Position.

Following this logic...

Gu Xing’s gaze shifted toward his Guardian Beasts.

Could his own beasts eventually attain their own Divine Positions as well?
