Realizing this, Gu Xing suddenly looked at Liu Li.

Previously, he had planned to head to the Angel Realm after retrieving Qing Shuang.

He hadn't forgotten that Liu Li's father was still in the Angel Realm.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Li was also taken aback.

The Angel Realm?!

She hadn't forgotten their experiences in the Angel Realm with Gu Xing.

Moreover, the Angel Realm was currently being invaded by the Demon Race.

Her father was a War Angel; of course she was worried.

Gu Xing naturally understood Liu Li's thoughts as well, so he decided without much hesitation.

"Let's go to the Angel Realm!"

"We can also bring the Angels from the Angel Realm back to the Alternate Space to make up for the lack of Human Race's totem war strength."

The Guardian Beasts naturally did not oppose Gu Xing's decision.

Since the decision was made, Qing Shuang directly erased the seal on this Void passage.

Then Qing Shuang was the first to step in, stabilizing the fluctuations near the entrance.

Next, Gu Xing, Liu Li, Vera, and the others followed suit.

Once everyone had completely entered, the light of that Void passage rapidly dimmed, ultimately sealing off and disappearing completely.

The space interlayer returned to silence, as if nothing had ever happened.

....

Angel Realm.

The once peaceful Angel Holy City had now been transformed into a front-line fortress.

The pure white buildings bore countless scorch marks from battles, the air thick with a lingering scent of blood.

In the very center of the Holy City, inside the Holy Hall, the atmosphere was incredibly tense.

Five Great Angels were gathered around the throne.

Sitting on the throne was none other than...

Lanny.

Her demeanor was completely different from when she was by Gu Xing's side.

Her long golden hair was meticulously tied up, she wore a simple yet dignified Silver Crown, and was cloaked in white battle armor.

The once somewhat youthful face now had clear lines.

She was now the undisputed queen of the Angel Realm.

But to become the queen of the Angel Realm, she had to bear that responsibility.

The Demon Race's attacks came in wave after wave, each assault more terrifying than the last.

Urgent messages from the frontlines came daily, so much so that even she, as the queen...

Often had to personally visit the most dangerous regions of the battlefield to boost morale, even taking part in the battles herself.

At this moment, it was a brief lull in the fighting.

Lanny's gaze fell on Liu Ye standing beside her, a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Lord Liu Ye."

"It's been so long since the last trial..."

"Is Princess Liu Li, along with Lord Gu Xing... really safe?"

She had asked this question more than once.

The last time in the core Trial Space of the Angel Realm, she was transported out in advance, waiting with anticipation for Liu Li and Gu Xing's triumphant return.

However, day after day, there was no news.

Ultimately, it was Liu Li's father, the War Angel Liu Ye,

Who, with an indisputable stance, declared her the new queen.

He forcefully silenced all voices of doubt and put her in this position.

However, she always knew.

Everything she had belonged to Lord Liu Li, which is why she always addressed her as Princess Liu Li.

Liu Ye, with a straight posture and still stained with dark red Demon Blood not yet wiped off,

He heard Lanny's query, his expression unchanged, but a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

As a father, how could he not worry about his daughter, who was missing without a trace?

But as a pillar of the Angel Realm, he had to appear more resolute than anyone else.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty!"

"The Trial Space will not trap anyone, and I am well aware of Liu Li's strength."

"The most likely reason they haven't appeared is that they left this realm through some means unknown to us."

"Perhaps... it won't be long before they return in a way none of us could have expected."

This was both to comfort Lanny and to reassure himself.

He was convinced that his daughter was still alive, while that human boy named Gu Xing always gave him an incomprehensible feeling, like a person who could always work miracles.

Lanny nodded gently at his words, pushing that worry back into the depths of her heart.

She knew that Liu Ye made sense and also believed in Gu Xing's ability.

But…

Sitting on this cold throne, facing the endless war and the mountains of political affairs, she would often find herself lost in thought.

She would reminisce about the days with Gu Xing by her side.

Back then, she was just an ordinary little Angel, weak, but at peace.

Every seemingly impossible challenge was always resolved next to that man.

Moreover, back then...

There were no heavy responsibilities, no expectations of millions of citizens, only pure trust.

That was the time she longed for most in the depths of her heart.

"Sigh..."

A barely perceptible sigh dissipated into the solemn air of the Holy Hall.

Reminiscence will always just be reminiscence.

She was now the queen of a realm, bearing the rise and fall of the entire Angel Race on her shoulders.

Just as she pulled her thoughts back to reality, preparing to inquire about the latest casualty statistics from the frontline.

"Report——!!!"

A four-winged War Angel suddenly burst into the Holy Hall, kneeling on one knee, his voice urgent:

"Your Majesty! Emergency military report!"

"The Demon Race's main force has suddenly assembled, attacking recklessly!"

"The scale far exceeds previous assaults; the vanguard has already breached three of our defense lines, our defending forces have suffered heavy losses, requesting immediate reinforcements!"

Lanny stood up abruptly, her dignity instantly replacing all personal emotions:

"The size of the enemy forces? How about their high-tier strength?"

"The exact numbers are unclear, but Demonic Qi blots out the sky! It's been observed that at least..."

"Five Totem Ninth-Rank Demon Generals have appeared simultaneously on the battlefield!"

"Five Totem Ninth-Ranks?!"

Lanny's face turned grave.

This was worse than anticipated!

The other four Great Angels in the hall also turned grim upon hearing this.

Though they were Totem Tier Nine, their battle prowess hadn't reached that level.

The four of them could only hold back two Totem Ninth-Rank Demons at best.

This meant that the other three Totem Ninth-Rank Demons were all placed on Liu Ye alone!

"Lord Liu Ye!"

Lanny, without hesitation, decisively commanded:

"The situation is critical. Please proceed immediately to the southeast front, assume full command of the battle! Hold the line at all costs; the Demon Race must not advance further!"

Liu Ye hesitated not for a moment, placing his right hand over his chest in salute:

"I obey the royal command!"

He turned and was about to leave, but his eyes were more serious than ever.

Three Totem Ninth-Rank Demon Generals...

This time, it seems more perilous than any previous time.

For him to single-handedly hold back three Totem Ninth-Rank Demons...

This was almost an impossible mission.

But he had no choice.

He was a War Angel and had to protect this world for Liu Li.

"Great Angels, follow me to meet the enemy head-on!"

"Yes!"

The four Great Angels replied in unison, their expressions heavy, but showing no sign of retreat.

Despite the disputes among them over the throne previously.

Now, in the face of life and death.

Everything else could be set aside.

But just before leaving.

Lanny walked down from the throne, coming before Liu Ye, looking him straight in the eyes:

"Lord Liu Ye... please... be careful."

"Princess Liu Li is still waiting to reunite with you."

Liu Ye paused slightly, looking deeply at Lanny, nodding emphatically:

"Your Majesty, please take care as well! The defense of the Holy City is left to you."

Without further word, he stayed no longer, his eight wings bursting open behind him, transforming into a golden streak slicing through the sky, heading towards the battlefield!

The four Great Angels also spread their wings and followed, leaving the Holy Hall significantly more empty.

Lanny stood in place, watching the direction of their disappearance, unconsciously clenching her hands into fists.

Her nails dug into her palms, causing a slight, sharp pain.

The disparity in strength is too great...

The severe gap in high-level forces is the Angel Realm's biggest crisis at the moment.

Faced with the Demon Race's relentless attacks, she was almost at her limits.

"Lord Gu Xing... Liu Li... where are you...really?"
