At the sa ti, at the border of the Angel Race.
This was the frontline of the conflict between Angels and the Demon Race, where scorched earth covers the wasteland, and the air is still filled with Demonic Qi and angelic presence.
The Eight-winged Angel, Liu Ye, hovered at the front line, his silver armor stained with blood, eyes as cold as ice, watching as the Demon Race retreated like a tide into the murky mist.
This was not the first ti he had repelled the Demon Race’s attack!
"Master Liu Ye," an angel adjutant respectfully stepped forward, whispering:
"The grandest inheritance eting within the clan is about to convene."
"The Demon Race’s retreat this ti will take at least a few days to gather strength again... Would you like to return to the Holy City to attend the eting?"
He looked at Liu Ye with eyes full of admiration, as if gazing at a deity descending from the abyss.
There was a ti when the Angel Race was on the brink of collapse under the fierce attack of the Demon Race, when Liu Ye suddenly appeared like a teor—
Starting from Totem Tier One, he broke through at an astonishing speed, rising to Totem Ninth Rank, becoming one of the top five peak existences in the Angel Race today.
And with his unmatched combat power and exceptional military talent, he forcibly stabilized the crumbling front line.
At this mont, Liu Ye only shook his head slightly, his gaze still fixed on the distant surging demon mist.
Although this was an unprecedented event for the Angel Race and crucial to the future direction of the Angel Race.
However, he did not intend to participate.
For he was not originally from this world.
Therefore, he had no interest in such matters.
"Forget it, I’m not good at these things, better to stay in the camp with you all."
In fact, the Angel Race’s inheritance eting is essentially a political struggle.
Except for him and the Arbiter, the other three Totem Ninth Rank Angels each chose an heir to follow.
Whoever’s chosen heir wins the first place in the competition, the guardian of that heir will surely rise in status.
But to Liu Ye, who becos the master of the Angel Race is not important.
What he desires is to hone his strength on the battlefield, to make his power the strongest.
Then leave this world and return to his holand.
And regardless of which of the three heirs wins, it would not affect him, who only wants to fight against the Demon Race.
He would continue to serve as the Grand Marshal of the Angel Race.
On the side, the adjutant, knowing his master’s thoughts, nodded.
Master Liu Ye has always remained aloof from worldly affairs.
Perhaps his only interest is battle with the Demon Race, to enhance his power.
"I understand, Master Liu Ye!"
He responded softly, yet added:
"However, the Arbiter has asked to convey this to you:"
"You have diligently held the frontline for a long ti, and for this eting, you can return to the Holy City to relax without participating."
"After all, even if you are a Totem Ninth Rank existence, you can’t always keep your Spirit stretched tight."
"Master Liu Ye... actually, this is also my thought."
"Wouldn’t you like to take this opportunity to have a vacation?!"
Hearing this, Liu Ye was slightly taken aback, realizing at last...
He seed not to have left this place for several years.
Looking into the concerned eyes of the adjutant, he remained silent for a mont, then nodded slowly.
"Alright, I have indeed not returned to the Holy City for many years, it’s a good chance to visit."
His tone softened, yet he still reminded:
"But during my absence, you must not lower your guard."
"The Demon Race might counterattack at any ti, and in the event of any maneuver, you must report to imdiately."
"Understood, Master Liu Ye!"
....
On the other side.
Hiding his human Identity beneath a black robe, Gu Xing, under Lanny’s lead, successfully entered the Holy City.
Upon entering, he imdiately sensed an unusually fervent atmosphere enveloping the city.
He leaned in quietly and asked softly:
"Lanny, has anything significant occurred in the Holy City recently?"
Seeing this, Lanny hurried to gather information for Gu Xing.
Soon, Lanny returned with a hint of astonishnt.
"Gu... Master Gu Xing, the third Ten-winged Angel has appeared!"
"And all the heirs have gathered because the Angel Race is about to hold the heir selection大会!"
Saying this, her eyes gazed at Gu Xing with a touch of reverence.
Just because....
The Angel Race had always had only two Ten-winged Angels.
There had never been a third Ten-winged Angel heir.
Therefore, the大会 had never been held.
But just as she probed for news, she discovered....
The third Ten-winged Angel heir’s appearance ti...
Was almost the sa as Gu Xing’s appearance ti!
This also ant...
The claim that Gu Xing often made, that he had contracted a Ten-winged Angel as his Guardian Beast...
Was true!
With this thought, Lanny’s heart shook, and her gaze toward Gu Xing beca even more respectful.
Hearing this news, Gu Xing almost imdiately deduced—
The suddenly appearing third Ten-winged Angel has more than a ninety percent chance of being Liu Li!
And from Lanny’s explanation, he only then truly realized what the words "Angel Race heir" ultimately implied—
It was practically the paramount authority over the Angel Realm, whoever wins will beco the true ruler of the Angel Race, controlling the destiny of the entire race.
However...
Liu Li’s ten wings were his own cultivation.
Such a "man-made" Ten-winged Angel, could even participate in the supre heir selection of the Angel Race?
Wait—
Gu Xing suddenly recalled sothing.
Among Liu Li’s cultivation conditions, there were clearly three requirents listed:
[Divine Pattern], [Totem-level Demon Core], [Angel Race fortune].
The Divine Pattern, Liu Li already possessed;
The Totem-level Demon Core, over recent days the powerful demons he had slain were nurous, it had long since been gathered;
Only the "Angel Race fortune" had yet to be achieved.
He had thought, settling the dispute between War Angels and Blazing Angels would gather this fortune.
However, after that event was resolved, the system had no response, leaving him to temporarily set Liu Li’s cultivation aside.
Until this mont, hearing Lanny express the heir’s significance, he suddenly realized:
The so-called "Angel Race fortune" might refer to... the entire Angel Realm’s earthly fate?
And the fastest way to obtain this fortune is likely to help Liu Li ascend to the throne of the Angel Race!
At this point, a sharp light suddenly lit up in Gu Xing’s eyes:
"Lanny, is there a way for to get in touch with Liu Li?"
Getting in touch with Liu Li was now of the utmost importance.
Without eting Liu Li, everything was just empty talk.
After pondering for a mont, Lanny spoke slowly.
"Master Gu Xing, all heirs need to enter a specific Trial Space."
"But before entering the Trial Space, there is one process."
"Hm?"
Upon hearing this sentence, Gu Xing was sowhat puzzled.
"Master Gu Xing, before entering the Trial Space, there’s a competition across the entire Angel Race."
