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

"I brought you into this world and granted a portion of my awareness as a system to you!"

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

Upon absorbing these words, a storm of feelings surged fiercely inside Gu Xing.

Was it fury?

Not at all!

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

Here in this realm, companions, kin, and even Guardian Beasts became his anchors for all he held dear.

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

With a heavy inhale, he spent a while steadying the turmoil in his heart.

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 fragment of it, wiping out the Demon Abyss entirely wouldn't pose much challenge, would it? Why orchestrate such an elaborate plan and endure for tens of thousands of years?"

The goddess shook her head softly.

"No, that's impossible."

"The instant we shattered the Primordial World, a binding chain formed between her and me."

"Our direct use of power is forbidden, and moreover, our full might..."

"This fractured realm couldn't endure it at all!"

"Even the slightest impact on what's left could spark an unpredictable cascade of ruin."

"That's why we each converted our leftover strength into nine Divine Positions!"

"She granted 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 over Gu Xing, as though piercing the emptiness to glimpse those distant realms.

"I chose not to hand my nine Divine Positions to any single soul; instead, I blended them into the surviving world!"

"Awakening, claiming, and wielding them falls only to those the world's will approves."

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

Facing these revelations, Gu Xing's thoughts trembled deeply.

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

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

Being a tool in another's game didn't trouble him.

Blind ignorance as that tool did.

With the world's will laying bare all secrets to him now, a spark of favor toward it flickered in Gu Xing.

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

How did that concern him at all?!

Since stepping foot in this realm, his fate had intertwined with the Human Race's.

As long as the first Demon God sought dominance for the Demon Race over everything.

He would naturally rise against the first Demon God!

With everything pieced together, Gu Xing voiced calmly:

"Got it! I'll halt her advance!"

At Gu Xing's response, the goddess let out a clear breath of ease.

Should Gu Xing have turned her down, she truly lacked any counter to him.

His consent marked the ideal turn of events.

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

Tiny as that speck seemed, it carried an aura Gu Xing knew intimately.

"This Divine Position remains unbound to the world! It's wholly ownerless, brimming with boundless potential."

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

With those words spoken, the goddess's tone grew distant and faint, her form dissolving like drifting fog.

"Through the nine Divine Positions, you've secured six already!"

"I'm certain the last three will soon come to you as well."

"In closing, may you triumph!"

As her voice faded, that stunning silhouette vanished entirely, scattering into shimmering motes that blended into the boundless emptiness, erasing every sign.

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

Regarding how to assign this Divine Position, Gu Xing already held a clear plan.

Once Gu Xing took hold of the Divine Position, the landscape around them started reversing at breakneck speed, akin to footage playing backward.

The environment, like film unspooling in reverse, hurtled back swiftly. Emptiness, illusory realms, linking strands...

All elements pulled away fast, growing indistinct.

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

He remained rooted in position.

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

While his mind had journeyed to meet that goddess, his physical form had stayed put here.

"Master, everything okay?"

Liu Li eyed Gu Xing's condition with worry.

From the sealing of the Demon Abyss by Tushan Yueli up to this point, Gu Xing had frozen in place.

Her calls had gone unanswered, no matter what.

Just as fears gripped her that harm had befallen Gu Xing, he abruptly stirred back to life.

"I'm fine!"

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

"Just uncovered some key truths!"

At Gu Xing's explanation, Liu Li showed surprise, yet held back from probing deeper.

She trusted he would share whenever ready.

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

A hint of envy stirred in both their hearts.

But they knew the reality.

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

Before, Gu Xing hadn't acknowledged his own emotions, leaving them a thread of optimism.

But at present...

The pair shared a look, catching the bitter sting of loss in each other'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 in the young cat girl's grasp, Gu Xing paused in surprise.

He hadn't anticipated their arrival right then.

Reflection soon brought him peace.

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

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

As the trio of fragments united in a flash, an unseen pull yanked them together, fusing seamlessly.

Suddenly, a flawless Divine Pattern materialized in front of Gu Xing, its glow whirling vividly.

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

A dazzling burst exploded from the Divine Pattern, surging across her frame in moments.

Primeval Time Law converged around her, making the entire area quiver faintly.

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

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

At last, as the glow fully receded.

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

And through Gu Xing's view, Sally's aptitude right then...

Shattered the limits of Myth entirely...

Ascended to Origin!
