Chapter 74: Phantylia, Your Timing Is Perfect! Little Gui Zi's New Ability: Word Becomes Law!

"Gifting 6480 credits?" Silver Wolf scoffed at the bold claim made in the live stream chat.
She quickly split her screen, launching a hack on the user who had made the boastful remark.
In no time, she uncovered their full name, address, online habits, and more. With ease, she accessed their bank account balance.
"Tch, that's all they've got?" Her fingers trembled slightly as she divided the amount into over a hundred red packets worth 6480 credits each, sending them out during the live stream.
"Wow, he actually sent them?!"
"I'm so spooked I checked outside—no sign of the Ambrosial Arbor yet?"
"Respect! A man of his word indeed!"
"Weren't we supposed to get one each worth 6480? There are only around 100 here! I didn't even grab any."
Jing Yuan looked up at the sky. The storm of battle was finally calming.
Turning to Kafka, he said, "Alright, Stellaron Hunter, Feathered Spirit has proven your innocence."
"Take him and leave this place now."
Kafka gazed at the sky, sighing. "Bladie truly had quite the adventure this time."
"At moments like these, even I wouldn't be able to stop them."
Just then, Jingliu transformed into a beam of moonlight, leaping into the sky. Whether he intended to join or halt the fight between Dan Heng and Blade remained unclear.

Half a minute later, Dan Heng, Blade, Jingliu, Welt, and Luocha descended from the sky, forming a line.
Old Yang turned to Luocha. "This battle… has shown me that you're no longer the person I once knew."
"My apologies, perhaps I got carried away,"
Luocha replied calmly. Earlier, he had been impeccably dressed and composed, but now, his attire was torn, leaving him disheveled. Despite this, he maintained his composure. "No matter, as long as it clears your doubts, sir."
"Well, Bladie, are you satisfied now?" Kafka asked.
Blade suddenly lifted his head.
"Not yet!"
"It's not enough!"
"Today, I'll keep fighting until my body can't stand anymore!"
With that, Blade charged directly at Jingliu, unleashing the full power of his ancient sword. Jingliu, Dan Heng, and Jing Yuan were caught in the chaos. Their eyes glowed crimson, emitting streams of dark energy.
Kafka furrowed her brows, realizing Blade had lost control. She moved forward, ready to cast her Vocal Charm. However, Blade's berserk state drove him to attack indiscriminately—even targeting Kafka herself.
"Everyone, help me restrain Blade," Kafka urged.
Before she finished speaking, Jingliu, Jing Yuan, and Dan Heng had already begun their techniques. But Blade's attacks were wild and intense, momentarily overpowering them. Seeing this, Old Yang and Luocha prepared to intervene.
Suddenly, in the distance, massive tree roots surged upward, swelling rapidly before their eyes. The ground trembled, and a surge of abundant energy swept over them.
Startled, Blade turned toward the Tree of Foundation.
"The Tree of Foundation…"
"Plagues Author…"
The chaotic aura around Blade began to fade.
"First, let's deal with those hindering us; we'll settle accounts later."
Watching the majestic Tree of Foundation sprout anew, Jingliu's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Yes," she agreed.
Jing Yuan thought to himself, "Antimatter Legion, Phantylia… What impeccable timing."
"Thanks to you diverting attention, we might have avoided the complete destruction of The Shackling Prison today."
"Not only did you reveal the location of the Stellaron, but you also accelerated the growth of the Tree of Foundation, exposing Abundance's hidden threat…"
"Phantylia, having you is truly a blessing for our Xianzhou!"

In Little Gui's live stream room, Guinaifen stretched her arms contentedly.
"Three challenges against Doomsday Beasts completed!" she exclaimed.
"That should be enough materials for Jing Yuanyuan to craft his trailblazing gear!"
Meanwhile, Sushang browsed nearby jade tablets.
Breaking news emerged:
"...a sudden disaster involving the Antimatter Legion erupted on the Star Ferry Highway near Eastern Shackling Road!"
"According to Miss Sparkle at the scene, 'There were so many Voidrangers—it was like a swarm of insects!' However, she added, 'But those folks from the Astral Express know their stuff! They swiftly cleaned up all those soldiers.'"
"After verification by the Divination Commission and jade tablet recordings, it was confirmed—the Astral Express Crew intervened, preventing further escalation!"
"The Realm-Keeping Commission has mobilized to maintain order and commence reconstruction efforts!"
Hearing this, Guinaifen burst into laughter.
"Hah! It was actually the Antimatter Legion? I was just battling a Doomsday Beast—what a coincidence!"
"Now let's return to the main storyline and see how Luofu's Celestial Grotto has transformed after the growth of the Tree of Foundation."
As she spoke, a loud rumbling sound echoed outside the window. Sushang tossed aside her phone, gripping the Xuanyuan Sword tightly as she stood guard before Guinaifen, fearing enemies might emerge.
Guinaifen peeked out the window. The sight left her speechless.
"Oh wow..."
"It's really starting to grow?!?"
"Little Gui, you're amazing! This is the precursor to becoming an Aeon—your words manifest reality!"
Mystery solved! All these calamities are due to Little Gui playing games!
"It's not too late for the streamer to turn herself in now."
"Holy shit, this is truly spectacular!"
After gulping down water to calm themselves, Guinaifen and Sushang prepared for their mission: reaching the Alchemy Commission's sanctuary near the Tree of Foundation. Along the way, they passed through the Artisanship Commission.
Inside, they spotted a massive cauldron entangled by the Tree of Foundation's roots, being lifted high into the air. An elderly craftsman named Mister Gongshu rushed over to rescue what he called the "[ Cauldron ]." Their task was to safely extract him.
Gazing at the colossal cauldron, Guinaifen wondered aloud, "I wonder what's inside?"
"Shangshang, do you know?"
Sushang shook her head. "I've only recently been assigned to Luofu, so I'm not sure either."
"Oh."
"It could be a furnace for refining medicine or crafting items. Surely nothing monstrous would come out of it, right?"
"Heh heh..." Guinaifen smirked.
Reorganizing her team to include Jing Yuan, Tingyun, Asta, and Natasha, they charged into the Artisanship Commission, now overrun by monsters.
"Looks like there are plenty of monsters inside!"
"The invincible General Jing Yuan strikes again!"
"I volunteer as tribute!"
