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

Chapter 438 Create hope with your own hands!
Gu Xing's calm voice echoed clearly in the deathly silent cave.

It reached the ears and hearts of every miner:
"The demons have been wiped out, you... are free."

This sentence, like a drop of ice water poured into a scalding pan of oil, instantly shattered the silence.

At the same time, it ignited the last spark of hope that had been building up in everyone's hearts and had been almost drowned out by despair!
After a brief period of stagnation
"Free...?"

A gaunt, middle-aged miner standing at the front row unconsciously murmured the word repeatedly.

His eyes were vacant, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of those two words.

free?

This word was too distant for them, as distant as an unrealistic dream.

He looked around blankly.

On the high platform, the two demons that had loomed over them like a nightmare had vanished without a trace.

As far as the eye could see, there were the demon overseers and guards who usually whipped and tortured them at will.
At this moment, they lay scattered on the ground like harvested straw, devoid of any life, utterly dead!
Apart from these ragged humans, there wasn't a single demon standing in the entire mine!
This is not a dream!

"I'm...really...free?!"

The middle-aged miner's voice suddenly rose, eventually turning into a heart-wrenching wail:

"Wow! We're free! We're free!!"

This cry spread like a plague throughout the entire area!

"We're free! The demons are all dead!"

"We...we survived! We don't have to be slaves anymore!"

"Thank God!!"

Emotions that had been suppressed for far too long erupted like a flood bursting its banks!
Cries, laughter, shouts, roars...

The various sounds intertwined and converged into a deafening roar.

They roared with all their might.

It was as if he wanted to release the fear and humiliation that had accumulated in his heart for countless years.
Let it all out!

The elderly miner was already in tears.

He was hunched over, his calloused and scarred hands tightly covering his face.

Hot tears kept welling up from between her fingers, trickling down her arm.

He has lived to such an old age and has witnessed too many of his compatriots die tragically.

My heart, already numb, thought it would never be stirred again.

But at this moment, all I could hear were the deafening cries and cheers all around me.

Feeling that long-lost hope, he could no longer suppress his emotions.

"Puff-"

It's unclear who was the first to kneel down heavily before the figure that floated silently on the high platform, radiating a soft glow.

He pressed his forehead firmly against the cold ground and shouted with all his might:

"Divine Envoy! Thank you so much for saving my life!!"

This kneeling was like toppling the first domino!

"Splash! Splash! Splash!..."

Like the tide, it flows from near to far.

Inside the cave, tens of thousands of miners, regardless of age or gender, all faced the high platform and knelt down in unison!

A sea of ​​black heads, like wheat fields swaying in the wind!

They expressed their heartfelt gratitude in the most devout, humble, and emotional way!

"Long live the Lord of God!"

"Thank you, divine messenger, for saving us!"

"The divine messenger's grace is like a second creation!" The deafening shouts converged and transformed into a belief!
In their eyes, this being could kill all demons with a wave of its hand and grant them freedom.
If not a god, then what is it?
This must be an envoy sent by heaven to save them!
On the high platform, Long Qingyan looked down at the scene of thousands of people kneeling and cheering like a tidal wave, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She was of noble birth and was highly respected on Dragon Island.

But this was the first time she had ever seen such pure and heartfelt collective worship.

She couldn't help but glance at Gu Xing beside her, only to see that his soul form's face remained calm.

It seemed that the shocking scene before him did not stir up much emotion in his heart.

Gu Xing's gaze slowly swept over the kneeling crowd below, and seeing the renewed vitality in their eyes, he sighed softly in his heart.

He understood their excitement, and he also understood their deification of him.

In absolute despair, people need a spiritual anchor.

He raised his hand and gave a slight, supportive gesture.

A gentle force, like a spring breeze, slowly lifted the kneeling crowd to their feet.

"Everyone, get up."

Gu Xing's voice was calm, yet it carried a calming power.

“I am neither a god nor a messenger of the gods! I am just a human who has acquired power, just like you.”

His words calmed the excited crowd somewhat, but the fervor and gratitude in their eyes did not diminish.

In their eyes, what else could someone possess such great power but be a messenger of the gods?
Gu Xing continued speaking:
"The threat from the demons has not been completely eliminated, as I believe you all know."

"This mine is just the tip of the iceberg in the Demon Abyss! There are several such mines in this world!"

"There are also several Blackrock Cities! Even..."

"At this very moment, millions upon millions, even hundreds of millions of our fellow human beings, who share the same blood as us, are still being enslaved and slaughtered!"

"And I am all alone."

His voice remained calm, yet it carried a power that made one's heart tighten.

"No matter how strong I am, my strength is ultimately limited."

"If I can save you, I might be able to save the next mine."

"But I cannot single-handedly flatten the entire Abyss of Demons, slaughter all the demons, and rescue my millions of compatriots scattered in the endless darkness!"

He paused, then raised his voice again:
"But—you are different!"

"You have tens of thousands of compatriots! In the future, even more of your rescued compatriots will join you!"

"You possess something the demons can never attain—numerous! Intelligent! And... a thirst for freedom and an indomitable will!"

"The true hope that can enable humanity to rise again in this land of despair, the true hope that can save billions of our fellow human beings, does not lie with me, but with you."

"In your own hands! In your determination to resist and fight!"

These words struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in everyone's minds!
Shock!

Indescribable shock!

Having just been rescued, they instinctively placed all their hopes on the divine messenger.

They firmly believed that as long as they followed him, they would be saved.

They never imagined...

I didn't even dare to think about relying on my own strength to fight against the terrifying demons and save more of my compatriots!
On their own?
How can this be?

We are just unarmed miners, at the mercy of the devil!
Countless thoughts churned in everyone's minds: fear, confusion, disbelief...

Just then, a small figure struggled through the crowd and ran to the foot of the platform.

It is a small chestnut.

She tilted her small face up, her dark eyes still filled with fear.

But more than anything, it was an exceptionally bright light ignited by Gu Xing's words.
