Chapter 1377 - Guiding Beacon (2/2)

“Don’t worry, be good and wait here.”

“Miss Orchid Heart?”

Upon hearing her words, everyone shifted their gaze to Orchid Heart who stood at the side. At that moment, Orchid Heart looked like she was half asleep and lifeless, casually leaning against the wall and gazing at the people in front of her.

“There’s no point for you girls to go… It’d just be a waste of time. Although Rhode’s current situation isn’t favorable, it’s still not entirely hopeless…”

“Is waiting here our only choice?”

This time, it was Lillian who spoke. It was evident that she couldn’t stand waiting like this any longer. Upon hearing Orchid Heart’s words, Marlene also let out an inward sigh. In fact, intellectually, Marlene knew that this was probably the only way. Facing this crucial situation, the most frightening factor was hesitation. Since Rhode wanted them to hold fast to his order, they just had to do it. If they were to send someone out to find his group while holding on, the result might be hard to predict.

Marlene was his lover, and from her standpoint, of course she couldn’t be that unmoved. But Orchid Heart was different. Her relationship with Rhode wasn’t that of a lover’s, but that of a senior and junior, so there was no pressure for her to say that at all.

However, the following words that Orchid Heart said caught Marlene by surprise.

“We certainly don’t need to wait here… Christie, I’ll leave it to you to open a path for Rhode.”

“Huh?”

After hearing Orchid Heart’s words, Christie was stunned. Soon after, a glimmer of hope flickered in her eyes and the crowd also finally responded. That’s right, it was indeed hard for them to look for Rhode, but that didn’t mean it was the same for the others!

“Okay…”

The young lady’s voice wasn’t loud and was somewhat as plain as usual. But this time, it had a hint of determination. After hearing Orchid Heart’s order, Christie took two steps forward and raised her right arm. Along with her movement, a golden feather pen appeared in her hand and countless lights gathered before her, coalescing, expanding, and turning into a white canvas scroll.

“Lilian, help me!”

“Yes, Christie!”

Upon hearing Christie’s words, Lilian didn’t hesitate in the slightest. She raised her hands and stretched them forward. Almost at the same time, golden, brilliant sunlight descended from the sky, penetrating the layers of pitch-black fog and illuminating the entire land. And under the radiance of the sun, the thick fog of Chaos dispersed immediately like melted snow!

At that very moment, the feather pen in Christie’s hand landed silently on the scroll.

Then, the world changed.

The turbid, cloudy fog that shrouded everyone’s vision scattered rapidly. As Christie waved her tiny hand across the white paper, a cloud path appeared out of nowhere. The sun’s brilliance lit up the path like a guiding beacon, at the same time dispelling the dark fog.

The path opened, stretching onward endlessly.

Christie was apprehensive as she didn’t know where Rhode was. Indeed, her power as a deity warden could translate imagery into the reality of the world. Despite that, she felt overwhelmed. She sensed how much Chaos was affecting Order. Even though she was drawing tiny strokes with the feather pen in her hand, she felt as if there were many people holding her hand and forcing her off the path she set. That was why she needed Lillian’s help, and even with the Light Dragon’s assistance, Chaos was still a hindrance that couldn’t be underestimated.

I want to see Rhode… Rhode… will surely be back!

Gnashing her teeth and enduring the pressure of Chaos, Christie finished the last stroke on the scroll.

In an instant, a path appeared in front of everyone. As the fog dissipated, they witnessed a dark, enormous figure emerging from it.

The mighty dragon spread its wings and soared across the sky.
