A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 329 The Trial of Guardians!

Then the figure of the twelve-winged angel began to fade, and its final words echoed in the space:

Remember, the true meaning of protection is often only understood in the face of life and death. The trial begins now!

As her words fell, the surrounding flames of destruction seemed to be infused with life, and began to surge toward the center with unprecedented ferocity!

A wave of heat hit them, and the aura of death instantly enveloped everyone.

At this moment, Lydia tightly gripped the protective feather that radiated a warm light, but her heart was like a stormy sea, turbulent and difficult to calm.

As a totem-level powerhouse, she understands better than anyone the preciousness and hard-won nature of life.

That power and status were earned through countless battles amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and by teetering on the brink of life and death countless times.

Why would she easily give up everything she had worked so hard to win for someone else?
This is simply ridiculous!
Her fingertips turned slightly white from the force she exerted.

The thought of self-preservation hissed in her heart like a tempting venomous snake.

As long as she uses this feather on herself, she can safely survive this ordeal and live on...

Only by living can anything be possible.

What is the recognition of any guardianship laws compared to real life?
And
Besides the laws of protection.

There is also a law of destruction!

As long as she can gain the approval of the Law of Destruction
She can also obtain the status of heir!
Liuli's gaze remained firmly fixed on Gu Xing, never wavering for a moment.

For her, the safety of her master was more important than anything else in the world.

If she had to choose between herself and her master, there would always be only one answer—

Without hesitation, I chose Gu Xing.

Even if the price is her life.

However, when she caught a glimpse of her fellow tribesmen outside, kneeling in devout worship and filled with hope, a ripple inevitably stirred within her.

Those were her blood relatives, the foundation of the angel race's future...

But this wavering lasted only a moment before she coldly extinguished it herself.

She was never a selfless saint, nor did she bother to pretend to be a successor with the world in her heart.

From beginning to end, all she wanted was to protect the small piece of land she cared about.

The survival of their people, the future of the angel race...

She never wanted to shoulder these grand and meaningless burdens.

She was just a selfish angel, selfishly wanting to protect the only person who gave her warmth.

The weight of countless lives in the outside world could never compare to the presence of Gu Xing in her heart.

The feather twirled slightly on her fingertips, her eyes filled with an unwavering determination.

Lanny was the most bewildered of them all.

Just a few days ago, she was just an ordinary angel struggling at the bottom of society, but now she holds the power to decide the life and death of millions of her compatriots.

This sudden burden almost crushed her.

She instinctively looked at Gu Xing, her eyes filled with a pleading look for help—

Over time, she had grown accustomed to relying on his guidance.

It was Gu Xing who gave her strength, led her to where she is today, and gave her the opportunity to stand at this crossroads of choice.

But at this moment, Gu Xing simply stood still, his gaze calm, as if silently telling her:
This must be her own choice.

My heart aches as if it's being torn apart.

She wanted to protect those of her bloodline who prayed devoutly to her outsiders.

Yet, she was unwilling to betray the kindness and expectations that Gu Xing had placed in her.

But there was only one feather in his hand...

These cruel rules forced her to choose between gratitude and responsibility.

My fingernails dug deep into my palm, but the stinging pain was nothing compared to the slightest ache in my heart.

She recalled Gu Xing's focus when he was improving her aptitude, his patience when he was teaching her how to master the laws, and even more so, his unwavering trust...

A tear slid down silently, carrying a scorching heat.

Finally, she looked up at Gu Xing with tearful eyes, her gaze filled with apology. "I'm sorry, Lord Gu Xing..."

Gu Xing, who controls the ability to create laws, can naturally feel that these laws are incredibly real.

only.
Although these are laws of destruction, they also contain a trace of laws of protection.

At this moment, Gu Xing remembered a sentence the angel had said earlier.

The true meaning of protection can often only be understood when facing life and death.

Seeing the three people caught in a dilemma, Gu Xing roughly understood the meaning of those words!
But he had no intention of offering any advice.

He believed that it was neither Lani nor Liuli.
Neither of them will disappoint him.

As for Leah
?

Unfamiliar!

The flames of destruction drew ever closer, their intense heat already stinging everyone's skin.

time is limited.

Lani's tears still clung to her cheeks as she resolutely hurled the protective feather in her hand into the outside world—

The feather transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the void.

A massive golden light shield instantly appeared above the heads of the thousands of angels in the holy city.

Almost simultaneously, Liuli flicked her fingertips, and her feathers flew towards Gu Xing like birds, condensing into a barrier as thin as a cicada's wing yet indestructible around him.

Seeing this, Leah gritted her teeth and finally slammed the feather hard against her chest!

however--

"Om-!"

The moment the feather touched her body, something unexpected happened!
Instead of forming a protective barrier, the feathers pierced her limbs and bones like thousands of golden needles!

"Ugh—!"

Leah screamed and knelt on one knee, her body radiating chaotic holy light.

Those who choose self-preservation are not fit to lead and protect!

The twelve-winged angel's cold voice fell like a hammer of judgment.

At the same time, the feathers in Lani and Liuli's hands suddenly disappeared, turning into two pure torrents of law that flowed into their bodies respectively!

Liuli felt a warm and profound power envelop her like a mother's embrace, and the profound mysteries of the Guardian Laws unfolded in her mind like a scroll painting—

True protection is not about staying put in one place, but about having the courage to give everything for those you cherish, even knowing the cost.

Her ten wings were all dyed a brilliant gold, making her appear holy and otherworldly.

Lani also felt the approval of the law, a resonance that came from the depths of her soul. She made a decision based on her people rather than personal favors.
This perfectly aligns with the supreme truth of the Guardian Law: sacrificing oneself to protect all living beings.

The edges of the six wings behind her were tinged with gold, and her aura suddenly became solemn.

Meanwhile, Leah writhed in agony from the backlash, watching helplessly as the two gained the law's approval, her eyes filled with resentment and bitterness...

She guessed that this guardianship law might be a test from the Angel God.

but
She doesn't dare to gamble!

If you lose the bet.
That means giving up your life!
Gu Xing had anticipated all of this.

only.
He hadn't expected that it would be so easy for the two of them to gain the approval of the Guardian Law.

Without the slightest hindrance, the protective laws directly merged into their bodies.

Gu Xing stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Liuli was not surprised by this outcome because she herself had control over the laws of protection.

And Lanny.
Gu Xing was somewhat surprised.

Although she has a good compatibility with the Guardian Law,
After all, they haven't gained the approval of the laws themselves.

He had thought that Lani would suffer a bit before gaining the approval of the Guardian Law.

He guessed wrong!
but
Gu Xing's gaze fell on the spot where the twelve-winged angel had disappeared, and he frowned slightly.

This test seems
Some water!
