Not long after leaving the village, Gu Xing noticed a familiar figure swiftly chasing after him.
As the person drew closer, he realized—
It was Lanny!
She ran to him, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed from running, montarily unable to speak clearly.
Gu Xing looked at her with slight confusion.
Lanny took a few deep breaths, finally steadying her breathing, and said earnestly:
"Grandfather... Grandfather told to follow you, to go to the Holy City together!"
Gu Xing imdiately understood the old village chief’s intention.
He did not show any aversion; instead, he nodded slightly:
"Alright, let’s go together then."
It was just right, as a Beast Master, his strength actually lay in controlling Guardian Beasts.
Whether it’s the Sovereign Talent or Soul Devouring Talent, both need to rely on Guardian Beasts to exert a good effect.
After all....
Just a single linked talent can provide contracted Guardian Beasts with hundreds of thousands of attributes.
Now that Lanny was actively following, he naturally had an idea.
"Lanny, are you willing to make a contract with ?"
"Eh...?!"
Lanny was montarily stunned, but soon understood and nodded solemnly:
"I am, I am willing!"
Upon hearing these words, Gu Xing’s fingertips twirled with a blue glow, imdiately performing a temporary contract.
Although this contract could only last for seven days and would expire unable to be renewed,
for Gu Xing, seven days—
was enough.
The azure contract light gently enveloped the two, connecting them with the Power of Laws.
At this mont, Gu Xing finally had his first Guardian Beast in this unfamiliar world!
...
At the sa ti.
Liu Li had been elegantly dressed, her surroundings enshrouded in sacred and luxurious adornnts.
The previous Totem Tier Nine angel elder stood silently by her side, whispering a reminder:
"Lord Liu Li, shortly, we will be holding the Angel Race’s most grand eting."
"This eting will ultimately decide who is the true heir of the Angel God."
"And this eting requires three heirs to open, and you are the third heir we’ve been waiting for!"
Yet, at this mont, Liu Li hadn’t taken any of these words to heart.
All her thoughts were focused on how to escape this place and find Gu Xing.
But because of the profound power of the angel beside her, she had to temporarily cooperate.
Soon, guided by this angel, she walked into a grand hall of utmost splendor.
The hall was already filled with angels; those who could enter here at least possessed Monarch Level power.
The entire hall was solemn and quiet, and everyone’s gaze was fixed on the two who had just entered.
In whispers, conversation spread among the seats:
"Is this the long unseen third heir?"
"It must be; she has ten wings!"
"Only three angels in our Angel Race have ten wings, and only they can inherit the Angel God’s legacy to lead us in defeating the Demon Race and returning to glory!"
"Despite this! But isn’t this third person’s power slightly lacking? Is she truly a competitor with the other two?"
These whispered comnts vaguely reached Liu Li’s ears, making her slightly stagger.
The elder Totem Tier Nine angel beside her seed to notice her unease, softly explaining:
"Lord Liu Li, don’t worry."
"This is rely a trial; it will not endanger your safety."
"Simply give it your best to aim for first and win the inheritance of the Angel God."
Liu Li turned to look at him directly, asking:
"What benefits does inheriting... bring?"
The elder angel was stumped by her sudden question, montarily unsure of how to respond.
After hesitating a mont, he slowly spoke:
"Lord Liu Li, as long as you take first in the trial, you will be acknowledged as the heir of the whole Angel Race."
"Then, you will have the right to mobilize the power of the entire race..."
"And you could reach an unprecedented Twelve-wing Realm."
He paused, quietly adding:
"Moreover, the one you keep yearning to find... Gu Xing will beco much easier."
Liu Li had no interest in the so-called "Twelve Wings," but the last words caught her attention instantly.
"Becoming the heir... will help find my master?!"
The elder angel’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
The term "master" he had corrected many tis, but Liu Li had never changed it.
Due to her identity, he couldn’t demand it and had to let her be.
"Yes, Lord Liu Li."
"Good! Then I’ll join!"
Without a trace of hesitation, Liu Li agreed decisively.
This angel’s face darkened further.
Soon, he led Liu Li onto the high platform.
At this mont, there were two other ten-winged angels already present, one male and one female, both with unmistakable pride between their brows.
The male ten-winged angel glanced arrogantly, his gaze sweeping over Liu Li, disdainfully:
"Milo, where did you pick up this little angel?"
"The Angel God’s legacy isn’t sothing anyone can inherit."
"The one you brought here... seems to have just entered Monarch Level?"
The elder angel known as Milo—Liu Li’s Guardian, turned icy at his words.
"Lord Jia Bailuo, as Liu Li’s Guardian, your words can be seen as an open challenge to Liu Li."
"For challengers, I have the authority to retaliate on behalf of Liu Li."
The next mont, a vast aura emanated from Milo.
Jia Bailuo’s Guardian imdiately stepped forward, unleashing Totem Tier Nine pressure, shouting:
"Milo! Dare you to attack the heir lord?"
"I don’t dare," Milo’s voice was icy cold, "I rely see soone openly challenging Liu Li."
"You——!"
Jia Bailuo’s Guardian was montarily speechless, ultimately having no ground to argue.
At that mont, a grand and calm voice ca from above:
"Enough, the eting is about to begin."
"Are all the heirs ready?"
The Angel Race has five Totem Tier Nine strongholds.
Apart from the Guardians of the three heirs, one always keeps watch at the forefront of the battle against the Demon Race,
and the other is the "Judicator" before them.
Confronted by this Judicator, the previously arrogant two ten-winged angels instantly restrained their postures, respectfully responding:
"Already prepared."
The Judicator slightly nodded and turned his gaze to Liu Li.
With a soft reminder from Milo, Liu Li returned his gaze, softly answering:
"Prepared."
Seeing all three heirs had responded, the Judicator solemnly announced, his voice vast and dignified, echoing throughout the hall:
"Since all three heir lords are present, from this mont—
the assembly officially begins!"
anwhile.
During this period, Gu Xing and Lanny had reached the outskirts of the Holy City.
