"Surrender, Huanlong, don't even think about running away."

"You will not have any more chances."

Fu Xuan clasped his hands together, facing Huanlong, ready to strike at any moment.

"Run away?" Huanlong chuckled. "Although some unexpected things happened, it doesn't mean I'm going to run away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sphere of light representing Illusion flashed and directly merged into Dan Shu's body behind him.

"My benefactors, could you please continue to serve as my hostage?"

Huanlong, controlling Danshu's body, looked at Morax and the others with a smile on his face.

"Do you think this is possible, Huanlong?"

Ningguang said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Huanlong smiled and looked at Ningguang.

"I almost forgot about you; you were the one who caused all these unexpected events."

"I don't need too many hostages. I should probably just kill you."

Huanlong said.

"Step back, Condensed Light."

Keqing quickly drew her sword and approached Ningguang.

"This woman really holds a grudge; let's stop her first."

"Luo Feng might be here soon."

Walnut also stood in front of Ningguang.

Morax went all out to utilize the "material of memory" of the light cone, and in an instant, the protective power spread to every corner of the scene.

This made Huanlong, who already disliked the power of preservation, frown deeply.

"Thank you all, but I think I should be able to fight now."

Ningguang said to Keqing and Hu Tao.

“I know you’ve embarked on the path of preservation.”

"But that woman is too dangerous; ordinary Fate Walkers are no match for her."

"Hu Tao is right, Luo Feng may be arriving soon."

Ke Qing said with a serious expression.

When she faced Huanlong, she felt that there was a bottomless chasm between them.

This was the first time she felt so powerless since she embarked on her destiny.

It's hard to imagine what Ningguang, Baishu, and others, who hadn't yet embarked on their destined paths, must have felt when facing Huanlong.

"It is naturally difficult for me to defeat her by relying on my own strength alone."

"However, I have more than just my own strength."

Ningguang shook her head and walked forward.

“Ningguang…”

As Ke Qing was puzzled, Ning Guang opened her right palm, revealing the sandstone that she had previously pieced together.

"That stone? You want to rely on it to stop me?"

"Do you think that just because you've pieced it together, its power will work?"

Huanlong stared at Ningguang and said with amusement.

"Why not give it a try? After all... I heard a sound from it."

Ningguang said calmly.

"sound?"

Huanlong frowned.

Ningguang ignored Huanlong and continued to pour her protective power into the sandstone while listening to and chanting the sounds that were directly transmitted into her mind from the sandstone.

"I'll place my bet!"

"I'll take the gamble!"

"I'll win!"

The aventurine emitted a dazzling light, enveloping Ningguang entirely.

"What...what's going on?!"

Ke Qing's eyes widened.

"Such a concentrated protective power!"

Morax glanced back at Ningguang.

At this moment, he seemed to feel a stronger protective force on Ningguang than he felt on his own.

Huanlong frowned and unleashed a flame that struck Ningguang directly.

Having anticipated this, Welt Young immediately stepped in front of Ningguang, blocking Huanlong's attack.

Ningguang's body, enveloped by the light released from the sandstone, slowly levitated and flew into the sky.

"...I let fate turn its wheel, I'll gamble everything, and I'll survive even after facing death!"

"Everything for...Amber King!"

Ningguang's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly gripped the gold dust in her hand.

A dazzling blue-white beam of light condensed from its body and stretched straight towards the horizon.

The entire space was instantly bathed in a golden light, imbued with the will to protect it.

Amidst the golden light and shadow, Ningguang donned an outfit resembling that of a magnificent peacock.

………………

Meanwhile, in another galaxy, Diamond, the Guardian Order envoy, who was having a meeting with Toppa, Emerald, and the other ten members of the Stone Heart, frowned and raised his head with some confusion.

"What's wrong, Diamond?"

Jade noticed Diamond's movement and immediately looked over.

Diamond: "...Gold aventurine used a base stone."

Topa: "Huh! He hasn't even reached Pinocchio yet, how come he's already using the cornerstone?"

Jade: "Could it be that he encountered some problem on the way?"

Toppa: "Could we have run into a swarm of Zerg?"

The other ten people from Stoneheart didn't speak, but they all looked at Diamond with curiosity.

Everyone present was well aware of the power contained within the foundation.

If a gold mine owner encounters a situation where he has to use his own foundation stone, it is clear that he has met a very difficult opponent and is facing a challenging situation.

"How about I call and ask about placer gold?"

Toppa tentatively looked at the diamond.

After all, she would be involved in Pinocchio's operations later, and it was only right and proper for her to understand the situation regarding the gold.

Diamond nodded and did not refuse Toppa.

Seeing this, Toppa quickly took out his phone and dialed Sand Gold's number.

"Hey, what's up, Topa?"

A slightly flippant voice came from the Den Den Mushi; it was Sand Gold's voice.

"To make a long story short, Goldstone. Why are you using the power of the foundation stones?"

Toppa asked bluntly.

"Use the cornerstone? How could that be?"

"Why do you think I used the cornerstone, Toppa?"

Sand Gold asked with amusement.

"That's what Diamond said."

"He's right here beside me."

Topa said.

Sand Gold: "...Are you serious?"

Topa: "Do you think I would make such a joke?"

Jade: "Gold dust, Topaz is no joke."

Toppa certainly wouldn't make such a joke, and Sand Gold knew that.
