Looking at Gwen's serious face, Valkyrie Quicksilver couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"The point isn't the altar itself, but rather what's within the altar... or rather, what makes this altar extraordinary—"

That's the crux of the matter.

Gwen reached out and patted the little head under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, then looked at the little Stargazer whose face showed a thoughtful expression—

"Let me state the conclusion first: the entity within the altar is of paramount importance to this world, concerning whether this world can continue."

Now, with the altar destroyed by the power of the Huo Dou, the being within it has also suffered a severe blow—

In other words, the world has reached a critical juncture.

"Call..."

Hearing Gwen's explanation, Stargazer managed to calm down, exhaled forcefully as if to expel the panic in his heart Gwen Stargazer.

"Assassin, now that things have developed to this point, what... what does the Huang Kingdom, or rather this world, need to do to ensure its continuation?"

Although Gwen's words were quite absurd, he had, after all, just defeated the Huo Dou that had made her feel utterly powerless simply by its appearance.

Therefore, even if Gwen is exaggerating, Stargazer must listen.

Moreover... Stargazer didn't think Gwen would try to fool him with something like this.

"With the power of this world alone, I'm afraid there's no cure."

Although Stargazer had demonstrated the excellent qualities a qualified leader should possess, Gwen did not provide any answers that would affect the safety of the situation.

"That..."

Upon hearing Gwen's conclusion, Stargazer's small hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched tightly, and faint traces of blood appeared on his jade-like palm.

However, Stargazer completely ignored his injuries at this moment, staring at Gwen with trembling lips, hoping that this assassin, who had shown him great kindness since they met, could give him a little more hope.

"Now, if we want to continue this world... perhaps the only option is to take a risk..."

Faced with the hopeful gazes of those who Stargazer, Gwen gave his own answer—

"I once had a friend who faced a similar situation to yours."

Faced with a world on the verge of collapse, she used herself as the cornerstone anchoring that world, inverting it into her own body, thus allowing that world to maintain its existence.

What do I need to do?

Upon hearing that Gwen had indeed proposed a method, Stargazer's eyes lit up, and he asked without hesitation.

389

Chapter 389 Vita.

Although putting the world inside a person's body sounds even more incredible.

But now, the Stargazer have no choice but to believe in Gwen.

This was her only hope of saving the Huang Kingdom.

"Stargazer, the Honkai of the world has only just begun; we still have some time."

Hurry up and get everything arranged.

Looking at the Stargazer face, which showed no sign of hesitation, Gwen sighed softly and spoke slowly.

"?"

Even though Stargazer had just made up his mind to do whatever it took, even if it meant sacrificing himself, to protect Huang Kingdom and the world.

But upon hearing Gwen's words, Stargazer's expression froze for a moment.

"Although that thing has been basically rendered useless by Huo Dou, it can still play a role in the subsequent reversal."

But I am ultimately a visitor from outside this world, and it is somewhat risky for me to bear the weight of this world.

Therefore, it is best to have this matter handled by the original people of this world.

I am fairly confident about this matter.

However, because of this, those who choose to bear the weight of this world not only face the heavy responsibility of the world's survival, but may also find it difficult to return to this world in their lifetime, and have to say goodbye to this world forever.

Explain everything clearly, select a suitable candidate, and settle the other party in...

These things all need to be arranged by you.

Seeing the blank expression on Stargazer girl's face, Gwen quickly guessed what she was thinking and then explained.

In terms of success rate, Gwen prefers You Lan.

After all, the last person to accomplish this was Bianca of You Lan Dai Er.

Having You Lan, a so-called counterpart from another world, complete this task is certainly reassuring.

However, when it comes to emotions, Gwen is more inclined towards Stargazer—

Gwen didn't want to have such a hard-won, unexpected encounter with Stargazer, only to find himself unable to meet him because of this.

Therefore, Gwen wanted to see Stargazer thought.

If Stargazer decides to do it himself, Gwen will fully cooperate.

If Stargazer chooses You Lan, then he will also...

Is that so?

Upon hearing Gwen's explanation, the deathly cloud hanging over Stargazer's head immediately dissipated, but the expression on her small face did not ease; instead, it became even more solemn as she slowly nodded.

As a bright and intelligent Imperial Grandson was groomed as the heir apparent at a young age, Stargazer could clearly understand the weight of Gwen's words about carrying the world on his shoulders.

Moreover, although he is still young, Stargazer, who has already attended the funerals of his father and grandfather, knows very well how painful it is to be permanently separated from loved ones.

"We will stabilize the domestic situation as soon as possible. If needed, the entire Huang Kingdom will provide assistance."

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Stargazer seemed to have grown a few years older, his little face full of seriousness as he looked at Gwen.

"Leave this to me. I will do my best to increase the chances of success."

Gwen nodded, returning the gesture with the same solemn expression.

Soon, Stargazer returned to the crowd and began to explain the current situation to Rita and You Lan.

Gwen, as he had said, remained at the former altar.

The original owner of this place, Golem, whose mechanism was somewhat similar to that broken cup in Gwen City of the neighboring Type-Moon World, had been destroyed by Huo Dou, but he was still a core existence in this world.

If it can be repaired, it might be of great help in the following operations.

Moreover, Gwen also wanted to see if he could gain anything from it.

"Brother Gwen, this world is really..."

As Gwen had said, Seele, who had re-set up the tent there, returned to Gwen's side, her little face still showing a hint of daze.

Although the battle between Gwen and the Huo Dou had indeed been so fierce that it seemed to annihilate the heavens and earth, she could feel the ground trembling beneath her feet from afar.

However, the idea of directly destroying the world is still a bit too sensational.

"Um."

Understanding that Seele's kindness stemmed from Stargazer concern for the people living in the world, Gwen reached out and patted Seele's head to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Seele, you'll succeed."

"I remember... she was only twelve years old?"

Beside Seele, under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, stood a figure Stargazer from afar—

There was a time when Valkyrie Quicksilver felt that her life was full of depression and darkness, and she could not see a glimmer of hope.

But compared to the Stargazer, at such a young age, had to face the survival of a world and the life and death of countless lives within it, Valkyrie Quicksilver suddenly felt that her past life didn't seem so bitter anymore.

What's more, she still has Gwen...

"Um..."

Looking at Stargazer's diminutive figure next to Rita and You Lan, Gwen nodded slightly.

Fortunately, she was already aware of this...

"Awakening...?"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Valkyrie Quicksilver looked thoughtful, her small hand clenching involuntarily in her sleeve.

For the next few days, Gwen remained by the altar, studying the shattered Golem.

However, besides Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele, there was another tall figure beside Gwen—

"How?

Did you find anything useful?

Holding a fruit platter, Vita walked lightly to Gwen's side, and looked at Gwen curiously.

"There were some gains, but only for me personally."

Gwen nodded slightly and then slowly shook his head.

Gwen casually picked up an apple from the fruit plate and said.

"Vita, didn't I tell you we don't need to do this kind of thing?"

If I want to eat it, I can just take it out myself.

"Hey-hey..."

Faced with Gwen's seemingly reproachful tone, Vita simply scratched her head and gave him a bright smile—

"I was just worried that you were working too hard because I saw you were always here doing research."

"There's nothing I can do to help you, so I can only do small things like bringing you tea and water."

As she spoke, Vita refilled Gwen's empty water glass, watching Gwen with a grin—

"Even if you could do something like this easily by yourself, wouldn't you be happier if someone did it for you when you were tired of researching?"

"Okay, you win."

Seeing that radiant smile, Gwen looked helpless, which only made Vita's smile even brighter.

A few days ago, with the self-introduction that left a deep impression on Gwen, "My name is Vita —Vie as in 'teeth gently biting the lip,' and Ta as in 'tongue gently flicking the teeth,'" Gwen finally confirmed Vita's identity.

However, even though he had already begun planning to deal with the other party, Gwen still pretended to be completely unaware of them.

Chapter 390 I believe in you, Mr. Assassin.

According to Vita, she was an unlucky lucky person who, after the destruction of her world, was fortunate enough to gain the ability to survive in the Sea of Quantum...

Just as she was fortunate enough to gain the ability to survive in the Sea of Quantum after experiencing the destruction of the world, Vita was unfortunately caught in the storm that ravaged the Sea of Quantum, but was also fortunate enough to survive it.

Although Vita survived, she was drawn into the clutches of the Huo Dou.

Even though Huo Dou was not in good condition due to the erosion of the Sea of Quantum, he still chased Vita relentlessly, leaving her with nowhere to run.

Fortunately, at the last moment of life and death, Vita encountered Gwyn and his group who had brought down the Gwen Huo Dou, and was saved.

While Gwen was amazed by Vita's description of a life of both fortune and misfortune, he didn't believe a word of it—

Even if the storm really had nothing to do with Vita, this agent of So was by no means an unlucky lucky guy or a lucky unlucky guy.

Of course, on the surface, Gwen still expressed his sympathy and invited Vita to return to his world.

Vita was pleasantly surprised and readily agreed.

In addition, Vita showed great interest in Gwen's plan to save the world and volunteered to help.

Gwen, who was already planning to fish, naturally wouldn't refuse to tell the other party his plan directly, and included Vita in the first layer of his plan as well.

Even though it wasn't yet time for her to contribute, Vita was very enthusiastic, serving Gwen tea and water, and taking the initiative to teach Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele how to control their powers.

In just a few days, Valkyrie Quicksilver, who was initially very wary of Vita, who threw herself at Gwen the moment they met, lost all suspicion under Vita's enthusiastic offensive, which was somewhat similar to Elysia's.

Gwen was very pleased with this and showed corresponding gratitude and closeness.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves approached from afar.
