My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 493 - 494: The Truth of the World!
Chapter 493: Chapter 494: The Truth of the World!
When that perfect figure, composed of endless mysterious points of light, fully manifested.
Everything at the scene seemed to suddenly freeze and lose color in Gu Xing’s perception.
In his eyes, there was only this existence before him, indescribable in any known language.
She transcended the definition of beauty, the ultimate presentation of harmony and perfection.
The flowing brilliance of the stars was her gown, the rhythm of day and night her breath.
She merely hung silently in the air, emanating no pressure, yet Gu Xing felt a near-instinctual awe that came from his soul’s core.
It wasn’t fear, but rather the pure reverence born of understanding when a lower life form faces the universe’s ultimate truth.
A thought uncontrollably surfaced from the depths of Gu Xing’s heart, clear as day:
“This is… a God.”
Compared to her, the Demon God, who once brought calamity, was merely a twisted monster that stole great power to act recklessly.
As if sensing his thoughts, a slight curve appeared on that flawless face.
A voice, gentle as heavenly music, resonated deep within his spirit:
“Aren’t you curious who I am?”
Gu Xing shook his head.
He didn’t need to guess to understand; the one before him was perhaps the culprit who brought him to this world.
And definitely an existence more terrifying than the Divine Level!
Back when he broke through to Totem Level, he discovered a trace of the system’s hidden nature.
Therefore, over time, he gradually discarded the system.
Eventually, he relied solely on his own strength.
And now, it seemed the moment of truth had arrived.
“Truly worthy of being the one I chose.”
There was a hint of comfort in the voice to his spirit.
Then, that stunning figure gently raised a hand seemingly made of the purest light, and with a casual wave in the Void.
Silently and seamlessly, the scene in front of Gu Xing faded away like a tide.
The broken battlefield, the standing Demon Gate, the living beings after the catastrophe…
All of it vanished.
He found himself standing in an immeasurable, profound Void, and beneath him was not solid ground, but…
A vast picture so immense it made his very soul tremble.
He glanced down slightly, his pupils contracting abruptly.
Beneath, it was not a single world.
Several worlds emitted different auras, lights, and fluctuations of Laws quietly lay beneath his feet.
He saw the Demon Abyss, exuding endless evil and chaos, as if constantly writhing and expanding.
He saw the Alternate Space, which had just undergone warfare, was scarred yet showing a hint of revival.
He also saw that bluish sphere, filled with a familiar aura, his second home.
Additionally, there were the Angel Realm, Ghost Realm, Insect Realm…
Not only these, there were more, smaller, and weaker world bubbles scattered around.
But what shook Gu Xing the most was, between these seemingly independent and isolated worlds.
There were countless extremely fine, almost transparent threads faintly present.
These threads were like a spiderweb, subtly connecting all these worlds together.
Forming a fragmented yet still discernible overall outline…
A gigantic puzzle.
“You’ve seen them, those connections.”
“That’s right, originally… this was a complete world, a vast, unified, infinitely vital great world.”
Gu Xing held his breath, waiting for her to continue.
“In that primordial, complete great world, two primal and final original awarenesses were born.”
The goddess’s voice was calm, as if it had nothing to do with her.
“I am one of them.”
“And the other…”
She paused, her gaze seemed to penetrate the Void and fell upon the largest, darkest Demon Abyss bubble.
“Is now the true ruler of the Demon Abyss, the source of all Demon God power, what you call… the First Demon God!”
Gu Xing’s heart gave a violent thump.
The Lord of the Demon Abyss?
An existence born with the supreme goddess before him?
“Our birth origin lies in the embodiment of all the yin-yang, light-darkness, creation-destruction, and order-chaos Laws in that complete world.”
“I lean toward balance, creation, guardianship, and guiding the orderly evolution of all things, allowing the world to thrive in diversity.”
“And she…”
The goddess’s voice remained calm, yet carried a hint of a sigh.
“She believes the ultimate end of the world is to return to chaos and unity, and all things will eventually merge into one within destruction and devouring.”
“That is the perfection she pursues.”
“The fundamental ideological conflict between us destined reconciliation as impossible.”
“As our divergence grew deeper, eventually… it erupted.”
“The conflict wasn’t about right or wrong, but about a choice of path.”
“But its result was catastrophic.”
“Our clash of power tore the foundation of the Primordial World apart, shattering the unified Laws.”
“That great world… ultimately crumbled, shattering into the numerous large and small world fragments you see now.”
“The Demon Abyss, Alternate Space, Blue Star, Angel Realm, Ghost Realm, Insect Realm… all are part of it.”
Gu Xing was mentally shaken.
These worlds that seemed so different, all stemmed from the same source!
And the root cause of this calamity that swept across several worlds was a clash of ideologies between the two!
“Then why…”
Gu Xing couldn’t help but speak up: “Why must all races be enemies with the Demon Abyss, with the Demon Race? If they share the same origin…”
“The enmity is not so simple.”
The goddess cut him off, her gaze seemed capable of seeing through his thoughts.
“Gu Xing, have you ever considered why these shattered worlds can operate independently till now?”
“And why does the Demon Abyss always try to devour and merge other worlds?”
She slowly revealed a harsher truth:
“Because shattered worlds are unstable, laws are incomplete, and their origins leaking.”
“Like shattered porcelain, each piece slowly weathers and fades.”
“In our world-fracturing conflict, she and I both suffered heavy injuries, rendering us unable to directly repair or destroy one another or even manifest for long periods to interfere.”
“Thus, we chose different paths.”
“She poured most of her power and will into the race that was originally the most aggressive and adaptive to chaos and devouring laws within that world… the Demon Race!”
“Her goal is to forcibly merge all the shattered worlds into one through the devouring and conquest of the Demon Race, recreating the Primordial World according to her understanding.”
Gu Xing felt a chill rise from the depths of his soul.
Forcibly merge?
At the cost of devouring all other worlds?
“And I,” the goddess’s voice brought him back, “I tried to guide and support many races, Angels, Elves, and against the Demon Race…”
“But all were failures!”
“Finally, after simulating countless possibilities, I chose a different path.”
The goddess’s gaze fell on Gu Xing, carrying an immensely complex meaning.
“I no longer tried to foster a single powerful race to oppose them.”
“I chose a seemingly weak race, yet possessing limitless potential and inclusiveness—humans.”
“And endowed them with a unique power system, the Guardian Beast.”
Gu Xing’s pupils contracted sharply.
The power of the Guardian Beast… was actually created by this goddess before him?
“I allowed the Human Race to form Contracts with other races, to share power, complement strengths and weaknesses, and even evolve together.”
“The ideal state would be to use humanity as a bond to unite all races against the Demon Race.”
“However, this path is equally difficult.”
“Finding the suitable leader, the individual who can bear this karma, is rare and elusive.”
“In the endless river of time, I searched, observed, guided, only to be repeatedly disappointed, until…”
Her gaze fixed on Gu Xing’s face.
“Until you appeared!”
