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

Over this period, Sally had been gathering strength, readying herself for the upcoming activation of the Time River.

This occasion, the force emanating from the Demon God Abyss allowed her to bypass the usual buildup of energy entirely.

Following Gu Xing's directive, Sally acted without delay.

She began drawing in this immense power.

In the meantime, Gu Xing didn't remain inactive; he guided several Guardian Beasts toward the heart of the Demon Realm.

Before the nine lingering Demon Gates.

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

The other nine Demon Gates aligned with the surviving nine Demon Gods.

After inspecting them thoroughly, Gu Xing noticed golden sealing patterns hovering over the nine Demon Gates that remained.

He probed them cautiously, realizing this energy felt strikingly recognizable.

Still, momentarily, he failed to remember its origin.

But right then.

Tushan Yueli, Long Zhenguo, and the rest had wrapped up the battlefield cleanup and reached this spot.

Long Zhenguo moved closer to Gu Xing, ready to say something, yet Gu Xing halted him.

"Old Long, since I'm part of the Alternate Space too, there's no call for those thankful remarks."

Hearing that, Long Zhenguo first looked surprised, then a grin tugged at his lips.

This headstrong young fellow...

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

"Gu Xing, the Demon Race throughout the Alternate Space is nearly eradicated now, and the Demon God Abyss has been destroyed."

"Provided these leftover Demon Gates stay secure, the whole Alternate Space will hold steady!"

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

When Long Zhenguo proposed this, Gu Xing refused with a shake of his head.

"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 now burned with curiosity about the one who sealed the Demon Abyss.

Did he truly arrange it all alongside the Elf Empress?

Besides, the humans trapped in the Demon Abyss...

Whatever became of them?

Thus, he resolved to press on.

Observing Gu Xing's determination, Long Zhenguo chose not to interfere.

At present, Gu Xing's power stood at the pinnacle within 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 occurs, the Alternate Space and Blue Star remain your homes!"

"Your safety comes first above all!"

After Long Zhenguo's words, Gu Xing gave a nod.

Next, Gu Xing looked toward Sally.

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

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

He advanced gradually toward Sally, set to venture forth in search of the facts.

Sally sensed Gu Xing's firm intent.

A tremendous surge of energy burst forth from Sally's core.

In the heavens overhead, the Time River's phantom reemerged, as known before.

With a quick nod to those left behind, Gu Xing entered it swiftly, without second thoughts.

...

In the Demon Abyss.

Fire Camp.

Within the camp's main assembly hall, tension hung thick in the air.

Li Xin occupied the leading position.

Clad in a deep violet outfit of fierce beast hide, she displayed a robust and nimble silhouette.

Her lengthy dark hair was casually bound at the back, exposing a clear brow and gaze as profound as midnight.

Right now, her typically steady and insightful eyes brimmed with astonishment.

For she had just learned of a report... that nearly shattered her sense of reality.

"The tenth layer, the Demon God Abyss's presence... has utterly vanished!"

"Simultaneously, active demons in the tenth layer have dropped by more than ninety percent, elite demon presences are almost eliminated, and Demonic Qi levels have plunged sharply, it seems..."

"It seems the Demon God has perished!"

With Li Xin disclosing this revelation.

"Wow——!"

Several top Fire Camp officials near her in the hall let out sharp intakes of breath.

Shock, bewilderment, and profound doubt swiftly claimed their expressions.

"The Demon God... slain?"

"Impossible! That ruler dominated the tenth layer across endless eras in the Demon God Abyss! What force could topple the Demon God Abyss?"

"Might the surveillance be wrong? Or perhaps a scheme plotted by the Demon God himself?"

"Yet the Demon God’s core essence has totally faded... no deception possible! What ploy demands the Demon God to sacrifice their foundation?"

"Perhaps... some colossal disturbance struck the tenth layer?"

A murmur of heated debates swelled, sending shivers through the group.

In the Demon Abyss's harsh domain, the Demon God's command was unchallenged, the architect of laws and their breaker.

Such a downfall of the Demon God lay beyond their wildest fears!

As the talks intensified.

Li Xin lifted her hand, instantly quieting the hall.

She drew in a steadying breath, wrestling down the turmoil of disbelief inside.

The demise of the Demon God Abyss...

signified total upheaval in the tenth layer's governance.

Demons there would plunge into unheard-of turmoil and frailty.

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

To the Fire Camp, forever battling demon advances through the Abyss's fissures, this presented a precious moment to regroup.

Yet the key concern was...

The cause!

How exactly did the Demon God perish?

Did strife from the Abyss's depths erupt?

Or a hidden catastrophe within the Demon Abyss capable of endangering the Demon God tier?

Or...

Suddenly, Gu Xing's visage flashed in Li Xin's thoughts.

That prophesied savior?

An idea that quickened her pulse arose inevitably.

Besides that mythic figure, she couldn't conceive of any reason for the Demon God's end.

Still, if this savior felled the Demon God Abyss.

Wouldn't his arrival in the tenth layer follow soon?

The notion left her quaking.

Locating this savior marked the enduring mission of the Fire Camp.

At last, a spark of possibility glimmered.

As Li Xin pondered deeply, a seasoned elder advanced and posed gravely.

"Leader, what's our next move?"

As an organization veteran, he grasped the gravity of this event.

Li Xin reflected briefly, then her eyes opened with unyielding resolve.

"Send the command: all outposts on the front lines in the seventh, eighth, and ninth layers must go to maximum alert, watch demon activity across every layer intently, particularly close to the tenth layer's edge."

"Hold all operations until I give the word!"

"Yes!"

"Furthermore, I'll head to the tenth layer myself."

"What?!" The group reacted with alarm.

They recognized Li Xin's vital role in the Fire Camp's endurance.

Should harm befall her...

"Leader, you can't!"

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

But Li Xin dismissed their pleas with a headshake, her voice firm and final:

"My mind is set; no more debate!"

"The gathering ends now!"

...
