But to seal the passage, they must approach the Star Gate.

Yet the Star Gate is heavily guarded by the alien army, who will never let them succeed. The Primordial Beast Tier beastmen sent are destined to face deadly odds.

Shen Tang said to Shen Li, "Let me go, I am the most suitable candidate."

As a powerful Primordial Rank beastman, she possesses teleportation and space abilities, making her the perfect fit for this mission!

Shen Li firmly stated, "No, this can be any one of us, but it absolutely cannot be you."

"Why?"

"No reason, it absolutely cannot be you, no matter what!"

There was no room for negotiation in Shen Li’s tone. He looked at her painfully, his voice carrying a barely detectable tremor, "Xiao Tang’er, you know what this means, I will never let you risk yourself!"

Jia Lan also rushed over, grabbing her tightly and resolutely saying, "I don’t agree with you going!"

If someone has to go, then let it be him.

After all, he’s already died once, and this body is merely a lifeless shell. Dying again doesn’t matter.

Lu Xiao watched her, his voice deep and steady, "Female Master, please allow me to fight for you. Fighting for the King is every Lu Family Family Head’s duty, and for me, it’s the highest honor."

He is a Flying System beastman, aside from Shen Tang, he is the most suitable candidate.

Whether as the Lu Family’s Family Head or as her Beast Husband, he is willing to become the knife and shield in her hand. To protect her life, to safeguard her lands, that is his purpose.

Shen Tang looked at her Beast Husband’s affectionate eyes, her nose tingled, and her vision blurred.

She shook her head in refusal, "...Don’t act impulsively! You know that no one is more suitable than me."

They were unwilling for her to risk her life, and she was equally unwilling for them to get into trouble.

Moreover, at such a moment, matters of the heart should be put aside; victory is what matters most!

She is the most suitable candidate, and this is an undeniable fact!

Shen Tang directly reached to snatch the Earth Core from Shen Li’s hand, but Shen Li reacted swiftly, and both of them grabbed the core, neither willing to let go.

Xiao Jin watched their stalemate and sneered, "Enough, stop fighting like children playing house, it’s childish! You’re making a spectacle for the other side to see!"

He wiped the blood off his face, stepped forward nonchalantly, and said, "Don’t forget I have the Instant Teleportation Skill! Besides me, there’s no one more suitable for this task!"

With such a vast disparity in power, to successfully execute the plan requires catching them off guard. Shen Tang’s space ability could potentially be discovered... but no one in this world can be faster than him, no one can catch him!

Shen Tang immediately refused, "No—"

But Xiao Jin smiled at her, "Tangtang, you said it yourself, don’t act impulsively on the battlefield."

The man still had that brazen, handsomely fearless demeanor, yet his smile seemed different from usual, making Shen Tang’s eyes well up, momentarily speechless.

They couldn’t let her, as the Monarch and a female, take the risk.

And Xiao Jin was indeed the best candidate to ensure the task’s completion.

Xiao Jin touched her face, smiled, and said, "Don’t make that face, do you not believe in my abilities?"

"I..."

"Don’t forget, my life belongs to you." Xiao Jin looked down at her, smirking lightly.

There were still traces of blood on his handsome face, it was hard to tell if it was the enemy’s or his own, adding an aura of wild elegance.

He gave her a strong hug, the force almost merging her into his bones, and softly whispered in her ear, "Tangtang, take care... and remember to think of me."

"I love you."

Before Shen Tang could react, he quickly snatched the Earth Core, transformed into his beast form, and charged straight towards the Star Gate!

Layers of dark clouds gathered high above, transforming into a sky full of thunder, and any mutant species struck by the lightning turned to ash almost instantly!

Yet a sleek black figure surged through the lightning unharmed, as if the terrifying and fierce lightning had turned into a stairway to the heavens beneath his feet!

The Black Panther ascended swiftly on the lightning, almost becoming a streak of black lightning, rushing towards the Star Gate at a speed too fast to catch sight of!

"Stop him quickly!"

The alien beastmen launched an attack on the Black Panther, attempting to halt his progress!

The Black Panther maneuvered with all his might alone, refusing to give up any opportunity to get closer to the Star Gate, despite the numerous injuries.

The distance grew shorter, but the injuries on the Black Panther increased.

The black fur, which was best at hiding wounds, was now drenched with blood and flesh, so much so that the ribs were visible.

The injuries on him had reached a shocking level!

Shen Tang’s breath trembled, and the tears that had been pooling in her eyes finally fell, leaving her face streaked with tears.
