“I know, but we really need to figure out a way for Little Silver Flower and the others to evolve.”

Her situation didn't allow her to be complacent. The Nine Gods Temple was one of her motivations to strive, but it wasn't her responsibility.

Even if she couldn't achieve it, her conscience would be clear.

However, breaking through within two years concerned her life and the future of Golden Yuanbao and the others, so she couldn't afford not to take it seriously.

Mingxi speculated that if she wanted to break through, she probably couldn't do it just by working hard herself; she would have to rely on her pet beasts' feedback.

In other words, it was highly likely that only when Golden Yuanbao and all her other pet beasts broke through to the God-tier would she truly be able to take that step!

“Master, going with the flow is also very important.”

Guangguang could understand her Master's tension and urgency. She might not be a very competitive person, but she was a very responsible one.

Her diligent cultivation and refusal to admit defeat were mostly for Yuan Shi Lin Yu and the others, especially Yuan Shi Lin Yu, Anatoth, and Yehe Walakiri, with whom she had the deepest bond and whose lives and destinies were intertwined with hers.

It was almost certain that if Mingxi were to die in the future, these three, even if they didn't die, would likely be crippled.

The other pet beasts wouldn't fare much better.

Their bond was deeper than imagined.

“I understand, thank you, Guangguang.”

Mingxi knew that rushing was useless, but she couldn't help but rush.

“Roar!”

During the brief moment of distraction, the battle between the Aberrant Guardian and Emerald Green was already coming to an end.

The withered thorns that formed the Aberrant Guardian's body were withering into ash, the shattered crystals, after being purified, turned into specks of starlight and dissipated, and the contaminated light and shadow energy was being frantically devoured by the Floating Light Flower Sea!

“Crack... crack...”

The Aberrant Guardian's body collapsed like a sandcastle, leaving only the purest, contaminated guardian obsession at its core.

It flickered like a candle in the wind.

“Undead Soul Hunt!”

The ghostly claw reappeared, grasping the core of obsession that had lost all protection.

“Whoosh—!”

The obsession let out a sigh of relief, finally dissipating completely.

As the Aberrant Guardian dissipated, Thorn Mountain began to tremble.

The withered thorny vines quickly shed their black color, re-emerging with vibrant green vitality, and then, as if having completed their mission, turned into specks of green light dust and dissipated.

In the central area, the constantly boiling, struggling, and amorphous light cluster finally stopped its struggle.

It began to contract, condense, and sublimate!

The shattered Star Crystal ground automatically repaired and reorganized, forming a dazzling Star Ring.

At the center of the Star Ring, countless pure light points converged, finally solidifying into a majestic and solemn Throne!

The golden Throne had a base composed of flowing starlight, a backrest woven from intertwined vibrant vines, armrests formed by serene soul halos, and runes of life and death laws slowly circulating around the Throne.

It no longer struggled in pain, but instead emanated a sacred aura of inclusion, protection, and balance.

The Light Patrol Throne, finally free from the contamination of this space, reappeared in the world in the form most fitting its essence!

“Jin.”

Emerald Green descended, and Mingxi smiled slightly at it.

“Yes, we succeeded.”

Mingxi didn't give the Light Patrol Throne another glance, calmly putting it into the spatial artifact Princess Regina had given her in advance.

The Light Patrol Throne was indeed an extremely rare divine artifact, and the divine power it displayed was no less than that of the Sea God Halberd.

Its abilities might even surpass those of Qianshan Path.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a treasure?

But temptation doesn't mean action.

One's moral bottom line must still be upheld.

When it truly can't be upheld, then we'll talk!

The Light Patrol Throne didn't belong to her, but...

Her gaze swept across the vast space after the thorns had vanished. The ground was covered with various treasures, much like the legendary lair of a divine dragon.

“We're rich!”

Two flowers blooming.

In the dim room, Regina guarded the mirror of creation and destruction almost constantly.

To allow Mingxi to activate the mirror of creation and destruction's accompanying Prism of Creation and Destruction at any time and return, she had to drip her blood onto the mirror of creation and destruction every so often to maintain the open and stable state of the mirror of creation and destruction's spatial aisle.

Princess Regina's face was much paler now than two days ago.

She looked at the mirror of creation and destruction, which was gradually losing its bloody hue, and once again wielded her dagger, cutting her palm.

“Drip! Drip!”

Blood dripped onto the mirror of creation and destruction, once again dyeing it a vivid color.

“I wonder... how is Mingxi? Has she found the Light Patrol Throne?”

Regina frowned.

“Time is running out. If she can't return in time, she'll ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) miss tomorrow's group stage!”

Just then, a deafening crash echoed from the thick alloy door of the secret chamber!

The entire room shook.

The defensive artifacts she had placed in the four corners of the room flickered erratically, emitting a mournful wail under the strain!

Regina sprang to her feet.

She looked disbelievingly towards the door.

“Your Highness Regina!”

A cold, threatening voice penetrated the door.

“I know you're in there.”

It was Lulu Xiu!

Regina's expression instantly became extremely grave.

How could this be?

How could Lulu Xiu have returned early?

Could it be that Luanluan Ke was exposed?!

Regina's heart felt as if it was squeezed by an icy hand!

Panic, fear, unease, and unwillingness instantly gripped her!

“Bang!”

The door was struck again.

“Crack!”

One of the defensive artifacts in the corner of the room shattered, unable to withstand the attack.

Regina instinctively staggered back two steps.

She looked at the mirror of creation and destruction, which was still shimmering.

She absolutely couldn't expose herself, nor could she let the mirror of creation and destruction fall into Lulu Xiu's hands, so she had to escape immediately.

As long as the mirror of creation and destruction was still in her hands, she still had hope of making a comeback.

While the door was not yet broken, she could use the Trans-Space Stone to teleport to Luanluan Ke's side.

“Leave!”

Thinking of this, she reached out to grab the mirror of creation and destruction and put it into her spatial artifact.

But the moment her fingers touched the soft, cold 'fabric,' she remembered Mingxi, who was still in the Mystic Ground.

If she put away the mirror of creation and destruction at this time, Mingxi would be trapped in the Mystic Ground and unable to leave, and she might even be lost forever in the spatial turbulence due to the closing of the spatial aisle...

Did she... really want to abandon her?

Abandon a friend who was taking risks for her?

No.

That's not it.

Mingxi wasn't her friend, nor was she risking her life for her.

She was doing it for her own benefit, for her Ashura pet beast.

They were just using each other!

So even if she really abandoned her, it wasn't her responsibility, was it?

Besides, Mingxi hadn't come out for so long, maybe she had already died?

“Bang bang bang!!!”

“Regina, don't hide inside without making a sound. I know you're in there. If you have the guts to sneak around, then open the door!”
