My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 386

Chapter 386: Chapter 387: Mobilization of All Races
 

Gu Xing and his party wasted no time, returning to the territory of the Human Race with the utmost speed.

Stepping onto this familiar land, the tense atmosphere in the air was even heavier than when they left.

As soon as he arrived, Gu Xing headed to the Sea Race to find Aliya.

Before leaving, he instructed:

“Senior Long, Liu Xia, Clan Leader You, the important task of uniting other races and consolidating forces is entrusted to you.”

Long Zhenguo and the others had no objections at all.

The invasion of the Demon Race across the entire Alternate Space was no longer just an issue for the Human Race, but a shared responsibility of all races in the Alternate Space.

If the Demon Race descended, no race would be spared.

In the face of the Demon Race, all races were merely their food.

After giving his instructions, Gu Xing’s figure flickered, and he headed straight towards the temporary base of the Sea Race within the territory of the Human Race.

At the moment, finding the whereabouts of Dragon Island is of utmost priority, and the Sea Race is currently the most likely to hold clues.

Long Zhenguo watched Gu Xing leave, then turned around, his face already set with a determined and stern aggressiveness.

He immediately summoned core generals like Wei Yuan and Lei Zhan.

“The situation has changed; the descent of the Demon God is a foregone conclusion, and there is not much time left!”

Long Zhenguo’s voice was somewhat low.

“Pass my order: Utilize all means to search for all known races within the Alternate Space!”

“Convey to them the news that the Demon Abyss will open and the Alternate Space is in imminent danger, ordering them to migrate to the territory of the Human Race within a specified time, to build a defensive line together, we live or die together!”

This order carried an iron-blooded tone that made the generals present feel a chill in their hearts.

They had never seen Long Zhenguo show such a strong and even ruthless side.

Lei Zhan, with his straightforward nature, couldn’t help but ask:

“Old Long, if… if a race is unwilling to come, or pays lip service, what do we do?”

A cold light flashed in Long Zhenguo’s eyes, his tone was firm, with no room for negotiation:

“Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!”

“If there are those who disobey, or some suspected of leaning towards the Demon Race… kill without mercy, to prevent future troubles!”

He looked around at everyone, his voice carrying painful but unwavering determination:

“I know this is cruel. But the invasion of the Demon Race is no longer a matter of one race or one domain; it concerns the survival of the entire Alternate Space! If we are soft-hearted now, leaving hidden dangers, the knives in our backs on the battlefield tomorrow will cost us a more painful price!”

“I’d rather our alliance be smaller, purer, than tolerate any uncertain factors within! This is Gu Xing’s intention, and my decision!”

Wei Yuan, Lei Zhan, and the others exchanged heavy glances, seeing shock in each other’s eyes, but it quickly turned into resolute determination.

They understood the severity of the situation and also grasped the deeper meaning behind this seemingly merciless order.

“Yes, Old Long! We guarantee to complete the mission!”

Everyone accepted the order in unison, quickly dispersing to begin executing their tasks.

Long Zhenguo then headed swiftly towards the meeting room with Liu Xia and You.

More detailed strategic planning and resource allocation required their immediate discussion.

Tushan Yueli, who was most adept at strategy, was also specially retained by Gu Xing to participate.

…

Meanwhile, Gu Xing had arrived at the exclusive area of the Sea Race within the territory of the Human Race.

Though there was no vast ocean here, Long Zhenguo had ordered the construction of large lakes and streams, creating the most suitable living environment possible for the Sea Race.

Outside a delicate wooden house built by the water and filled with maritime charm, Gu Xing halted his steps. He didn’t enter directly but quietly released a trace of his aura.

Inside the wooden house, the Little Princess of the Mermaid Tribe, Aliya, was sitting by the window, her chin resting in her hands, gazing at the ever-changing clouds in the sky, a hint of melancholy on her young face that didn’t quite match her age.

Her slender fingers absent-mindedly twirled a small wildflower she had just picked from the lakeside, muttering under her breath.

“Being able to see Brother Xing again…”

She gently plucked a petal.

“Not able to see…”

Another petal fell.

“Able to see!”

“Not able to see!”

Soon, a complete little flower in her hand became bare, leaving only the last solitary petal.

And according to the sequence she had been following, this one corresponded to—

Not able to see.

Aliya’s little mouth instantly pouted, her eyes flashing with a hint of frustration.

“This doesn’t count! I wasn’t ready just now!”

She comforted herself, tossing the bare flower stem out the window.

Then she plucked a new flower and began another round of muttering.

“Able to see!”

“Not able to see!”

…

Gu Xing stood not far away, his mouth couldn’t help but curve upward as he watched this pure, innocent scene.

Although counting by the Mermaid Tribe’s age, Aliya was over a hundred years old, her nature was as pure as a seven or eight-year-old human child.

Perhaps, it was this untouched innocence that gave her the mysterious “good luck” special talent.

When the second flower in Aliya’s hand was about to wither, with the last petal again pointing to “not able to see,” her little face was almost wrinkled into a bitter expression.

At that moment, Gu Xing no longer stayed hidden and walked over slowly, speaking gently with a smile:

“Aliya.”

“Ah!”

Aliya was startled by the sudden voice and quickly turned around. When she saw Gu Xing standing at the door smiling at her, her little face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

She hurriedly hid the withered flower behind her, stammering:

“Brother, Brother Xing! When… when did you come?”

“I’ve been here for a while!”

At this moment, Gu Xing found Aliya somewhat amusing.

But he didn’t mind much.

After all, to him, the current Aliya was no different from a child.

Moreover, Vera had always been in a child-like state before.

Hence, Gu Xing adeptly stepped forward, picking up Aliya and making her face him.

“Aliya, do you know anything about the Dragon Race?”

Initially, Aliya was a bit shy, but upon hearing Gu Xing’s words, she realized that Brother Xing was certainly looking for her for something important.

So she tried her best to recall the memories in her mind.

“I seem to have seen some information about the Dragon Race in the Sea Race’s hidden library in the past, but it was a long time ago….”

“I’ve forgotten! I’m sorry…”

Aliya’s eyes turned a little red, seemingly upset about not being able to help.

However, upon hearing these words, Gu Xing’s eyes lit up brightly.

The fact that the Sea Race’s hidden library had information about the Dragon Race was already considered good news.

Although the Sea Race was invaded by the Demon Race,…

the Demon Race shows no interest in libraries.

Moreover, now that all the Demon Race have been recalled.

Returning to the Sea Race again might offer a chance to find the book Aliya mentioned.

So, Gu Xing immediately spoke to Aliya:

“Aliya, would you like to return to the Sea Race again?”
