My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 470 - 471: I’ve Decided to Stay!

The very instant the crown made contact with Liu Li’s forehead,

it felt as though an unseen hand had slowed the flow of time.

As the silver crown, which appeared quite ordinary, was set upon Liu Li’s head,

a dormant, primordial seal that had been quiet for eons suddenly flared to life!

“Buzz——!”

A profound and majestic resonance vibrated through the souls of every living being!

Those possessing angelic bloodlines, in particular, felt a primal shudder emanating from the very core of their lineage.

Liu Li’s physical form began to tremble violently.

In that moment,

a massive surge of warm energy flooded into her body through the silver crown.

This was the exact final component she required to exercise authority over this world.

Liu Li’s golden eyes snapped open.

Within her pupils, an array of pale golden runes flickered, rapidly shifting, merging, and breaking apart.

These sacred, ancient symbols each represented a fundamental law of the Angel Realm.

Engulfed by this mental torrent, Liu Li’s consciousness escaped the bounds of her flesh, rising and expanding without limit.

She witnessed...

Not the stone tiles of the Holy City Square, but the vast expanse of the entire Angel Realm.

She saw the peaks, the rivers, the woodlands, and the sprawling cities.

She observed the remaining Demonic Qi being cleansed like stubborn grime by the Power of Heaven and Earth.

She saw the countless citizens of the angelic race looking toward her, their expressions filled with reverence.

At the same time,

Gu Xing sensed that an ethereal bridge had been forged between Liu Li and the Angel Realm the moment she donned the crown.

The colossal world power was flowing into and uniting with Liu Li at a staggering pace.

“The world is responding to her...”

Gu Xing watched in awe.

While this scene resembled Qing Shuang’s inheritance in the Ghost Realm, there was a distinct difference.

Qing Shuang had inherited the legacy of a world’s will.

Liu Li, however, was being hailed as the new monarch by a world’s will that had never died, only slept.

The process lasted roughly a minute, though it felt like an eternity to the onlookers.

When Liu Li’s eyes opened once more, they had been transformed.

It was as if two tiny galaxies were hidden in the depths of her gaze, with countless stars shimmering in and out of view.

A golden diamond sigil now marked her forehead.

Her aura had undergone a fundamental evolution.

Before, her power was overt and carried a sharp, destructive edge.

Now, it had become deep and restrained.

Every motion she made seemed to harmonize with the cadence of heaven and earth.

She raised her hand slightly, utilizing none of her personal strength.

With just a single thought,

“Rustle——”

The trees and flora surrounding the square, which had been charred by the fires of war,

began to sprout vibrant green leaves at a pace visible to the naked eye.

“A miracle! This is a miracle!”

Driven to tears, many citizens fell to their knees, offering their deepest devotion to their new sovereign.

Amidst these prayers, Liu Li gained total mastery over this power.

The scars of battle were mended instantly under her guidance.

The Demonic Qi throughout the world was purged by Liu Li’s will.

Even the severed limb of the Demon God was converted into nourishment for the world.

The entire realm seemed to revert to its state before the Demon invasion.

As this concluded, Liu Li’s power began to settle back within her.

This signified her full acceptance of the power.

She had officially become the Angel Realm’s...

New ruler!

While the cheers and worship in the square were relentless,

Liu Li turned her attention to Lanny, who stood beside her.

“Lanny.”

Lanny was momentarily startled, unsure of what Liu Li required of her.

However, she adjusted to her new role quickly.

She had already fully transitioned from her previous status as the monarch.

Stepping forward, she bowed with deep respect:

“What orders does Your Majesty have?”

Liu Li looked at her and spoke plainly:

“I cannot stay here for long.”

“I must follow my master and explore broader worlds.”

“However, the administration and daily life of the Angel Realm still need someone to lead.”

She gazed at Lanny with total confidence:

“You are skilled in governance. You have also demonstrated your bravery and sense of duty during the crisis.”

“During my absence, you shall act as regent, managing all the affairs of the Angel Realm.”

Lanny was stunned by these words.

She had never been one to crave authority.

When she abdicated the throne, she had no intention of reclaiming it.

But hearing Liu Li’s words...

Her eyes drifted toward Gu Xing for a moment.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of clarity.

Indeed.

If she were in Liu Li’s position, she likely would have chosen the same path.

How could being the ruler of a world compare to being with one’s master?

Thus, she performed a deep, respectful bow.

Taking a breath, Lanny stepped back and knelt on one knee, making a solemn vow:

“Lanny vows to follow Your Majesty’s decree!”

Liu Li gave a nod of approval.

She then turned her gaze toward Liu Ye, Gu Xing, Qing Shuang, and Vera.

With the divine seat of the Angel Realm secured, the primary goal of their journey was complete.

It was time to depart.

Liu Li looked at Liu Ye, a questioning look in her eyes:

“Father, will you be coming back with us?”

Though Liu Ye originated from an Alternate Space, his long time in the Angel Realm had made him feel like he belonged there.

Liu Li wanted to know his true feelings.

As she asked, the smile on Liu Ye’s face faded slightly, and he fell into a short silence.

He had always believed he wanted to return to the world of his birth.

But now that the choice was before him, he felt hesitant.

He looked over the land that was finally recovering from war, and at the angelic citizens who were full of hope despite their scars.

The years he had spent here—especially leading the resistance against the Demon Race—

had tied his fate to this land in ways he hadn't realized.

Subconsciously, he viewed protecting this place as his own responsibility.

It had become a second home that he could not easily leave behind.

More importantly, regarding the Blazing Angels Race...

Liu Li was now capable of carrying their entire legacy on her shoulders.

His last remaining tie to his old world was gone.

As for Liu Li...

She was now the ruler of this world, and as her father, he felt he should help her protect it.

Finally, Liu Ye looked at Lanny and the others and reached a conclusion.

His expression turned to one of relief.

“Liu Li, Gu Xing.”

“I... will not be returning with you.”

Liu Li’s eyes showed a hint of understanding, as if she had expected this.

Gu Xing nodded as well, having anticipated this outcome.

Liu Ye looked at Gu Xing and gave him a final instruction:

“Please give Liu Xia a message for me. Tell her...”

“I have found new duties in another world, and I am doing well.”

“Understood!”

After their farewells,

Gu Xing began the journey home accompanied by his Guardian Beasts.
