In the arena.
A golden light lit up on Princess Jiujiu's forehead. It was a diamond-shaped golden gem.
The moment the golden gem appeared, it burst with dazzling light, then detached from her forehead and slowly floated upward. Wreathed in golden radiance, a magnificent crown appeared above her head, then slowly descended to rest upon it.
