Ning improved his body quite a lot in the 17 and a half years he had spent there. Thanks to being so close to the sun's radiation, his body reached a toughness he would've never hoped to reach before.
Then, when there were only about 2 or so months left before the universe reached the location, Ning decided to leave.
Before leaving, however, he needed to take some more Space stones.
So, Ning teleported over to the station that was next to him and stole away some more Space stones that he would've needed.
Then, he got into his ship and left.
"How much longer?" Saphandra asked.
"Until?" Ning asked.
"Until this ship reached the place of course," she said.
"Well, it will take the ship about 19 years to reach the location," Ning said.
"What? Aren't we going to be late then?" she asked.
"That's why I got more of these," Ning said as he showed the cylinder to her. The space stones in it were rather large as well.
