Angel Yan: "Did you miss me?"

In the room on the other side, the atmosphere was subtle and tranquil.

Rose gazed at Liang Bing, her lips parting slightly as if she wanted to ask a question, but for a moment she didn't know where to begin.

"What's wrong?" Liang Bing smiled gently as she stepped forward, took her hand, and led her to sit down.

Rose's eyes churned with emotion as she finally spoke in a low voice, "So... my time-space genes..."

"Yes," Liang Bing replied softly, her gaze calm and honest, "Apart from some basic super gene structures, the rest... were all constructed by my own hands."

She paused briefly, her voice tinged with a deep, unwavering determination:

"Time-space genes are my lifelong pursuit; I have poured everything into them..."

Liang Bing gazed at Qiangwei, her fingertips gently tracing her cheek, her voice tender yet resolute:

"And Rose, you are everything I've been pursuing."

Rose's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the warmth from her cool fingertips made her feel somewhat dazed.

"Why... we've never even met, yet it's all because of a gene..."

Liang Bing gently placed her finger on Rose's lips, shook her head, and indicated that she didn't need to say anything more.

She didn't answer immediately, but gently took Rose's right hand into her own palm and held it tightly.

After the two sat down on the edge of the bed, Liang Bing spoke softly:

"You should still remember how Angel A-Zhui addressed me earlier, and what Xiaoyu mentioned about my past identity, right?"

Rose nodded. Of course she remembered—"The Demon Queen."

The name itself evokes images of extreme evil and chaos.

Looking at the gentle-looking and considerate woman in front of her, Rose could not associate her with the word "devil" no matter what.

But looking at the gentle woman before her, Rose simply couldn't associate her with the word "devil."

Cool, icy fingertips gently caressed the back of Rose's hand, her gaze drifting into the distance.

Liang Bing's gaze drifted into the distance, as if piercing through the curtain of time.

"Once, I was the Apocalypse King of the Angelic Civilization. Together with He Xi and... my sister Keisha, we led the female angels in a rebellion against the Scum, that is, the rule of the brutal male angels."

Her voice carries the weight of time, yet one can still detect a trace of its former passion.

"Those years, though difficult, were the brightest time of my life."

Rose listened quietly, without interrupting this precious memory.

"Later, we won. The Angel Civilization experienced rapid development, and the sisters' lives improved day by day... Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction."

Liang Bing's tone gradually lowered, like the deepening twilight.

"Just then, the Super God Academy arrived. I was deeply attracted by the 'Time-Space Rose Project' of the Deno civilization that they brought, and from then on, I devoted all my energy to it."

"Just when I finally finished constructing the spacetime gene... an accident happened."

Her voice paused slightly, and a complex and unreadable emotion appeared in her eyes.

"My beliefs were shaken by the 'Ultimate Fear' theory spread by the Super God Academy."

Upon hearing this, Rose's heart tightened, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Liang Bing's hand.

"Later... I betrayed my sister, and I also betrayed the sisters who had fought alongside me."

Liang Bing's voice deepened, each word seeming to carry the weight of ten thousand years.

"I established a demonic civilization, spreading the so-called 'freedom' ideology throughout the known universe. My sister, in order to stop me from going further astray and to maintain order in the universe… began hunting me down."

She paused slightly, a complex light flashing in her eyes:

"This war between sisters lasted for over 20,000 years."

Rose felt a slight tremor in her palm.

She gazed at Liang Bing's lowered eyelashes, catching a fleeting glimpse of pain on that always smiling face.

"A war of twenty thousand years..." Rose repeated softly, "Is that why Ah... Ah-Zhui was so excited when she saw you again?"

Liang Bing forced a bitter smile: "That's not all. To prove the existence of ultimate fear, I've destroyed civilizations that upheld justice and plunged countless worlds into chaos."

She suddenly tightened her grip on her fingers. "But the spacetime gene is always pure. It was born before all fanaticism and madness; it is my initial and final ideal."

The cool, icy voice was as gentle as a breeze, yet it carried the weight of millennia:

"So, Rose...you are my everything. Like my child..."

"Thump—"

Cold words struck Rose's heart like a heavy hammer.

Memories of the past flooded back like a tide: those days and nights of struggling alone, the loneliness of being misunderstood, the confusion about one's own existence...

All her facade of strength crumbled at that moment. She could no longer hold back and threw herself into Liang Bing's arms, bursting into tears.

"Liang Bing..."

Rose's voice trembled with sobs as she gripped the other's clothes tightly with both hands.

Liang Bing didn't say anything, but steadily caught her trembling body.

His arms gently encircled the girl's slender back, his palms stroking her softly, as if soothing a frightened fledgling.

She gently rested her chin on the top of Rose's hair, letting the person in her arms soak her clothes with tears.

In this silent embrace, twenty thousand years of waiting and searching have finally found their home.

... ... ... ...

"Phew—is this... Earth?"

A slender figure floated silently in outer space, gazing at the blue planet before her and whispering softly.

"Let me take a good look..." A playful smile curved her red lips.

"Just what kind of handsome god could have captivated our little Ah so completely?"

Angel Yan lightly traced the corners of her slightly upturned lips with her fingertips, her eyes gleaming with interest.

(Angel Yan: You haven't forgotten me, have you?)

(Angel Yan: Phew, after flying through so many chapters, we've finally arrived!)

(Angel Yan: Hehe, now it's time for Yun Siji to unleash her power! Charge at the car! Yu)

Angel Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a quick sense, she locked onto A-Zhui's location.

A slight smile played on her lips. Without lingering, a faint golden glow emanated from her body, which then transformed into a dazzling streak of light, shooting straight toward the Earth's interior like a falling star.

A streak of light pierced through the clouds, carrying a faint whooshing sound, and sped precisely toward the villa where Cang Yu and the others were.

"Look! Is that a shooting star?"

On the streets of Tianhe City, a passerby suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

A dazzling golden streak of light pierced the night sky, trailing shimmering starlight as it plummeted toward the outskirts of the city, illuminating the entire night sky for a fleeting moment.

Several young people stopped and took out their phones to take pictures. Some closed their eyes to make a wish, while others excitedly whispered to each other.

Cang Yu, who was still holding Qi Lin in his arms and telling her about his past, seemed to sense something and raised his head.

His gaze seemed to pierce through everything, landing on the rapidly descending angel Yan.
