Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

The four had just escaped the illusion of the Reflection Abyss and hadn't even had time to catch their breath when they saw a deep, spiraling corridor appear on the calm surface of Mirror Lake. The walls of the corridor were made of flowing light and shadow, as if countless fragments of time were shuttling through it.

"This is the Time Corridor!" Nine-Tails was the first to recognize this strange place. His handsome face was now furrowed with worry, clearly showing his fear of this place.

"What is the Time Corridor?" Lu Lingxi asked, glancing around warily, her Azure Dragon Sword gripped in her hand, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Baihu's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Legend has it that the Time Corridor is a passage connecting different timelines. Once you get lost in it, you may be trapped in the past or the future, or even never be able to return to the original time."

Although Youming usually liked to play pranks, he put away his playful attitude at this moment and said seriously, "Master, I feel that the flow of time here is very chaotic."

Lu Lingxi nodded in agreement. She also felt the instability of time, which made her very uneasy. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Let's walk along the corridor and see if we can find an exit."

The four of them carefully made their way down the corridor. With each step they took, the light and shadow around them changed, as if they were traveling through different times and spaces. They saw fragments of the past, visions of the future, and even battles they had experienced before.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the wall of the corridor, emitting an eerie red light. A blood-red hand reached out from the crack and grabbed at Lu Lingxi. She reacted quickly, wielding the Azure Dragon Sword and slashing a sword aura at the hand.

However, the hand ignored the sword energy and went straight through to grab Lu Lingxi Yao's neck.

Seeing this, Youming flashed and stood in front of Lu Lingxi Yao. A blood-red hand grabbed Youming's shoulder, and a powerful force pulled him toward the crack.

"Netherworld!"

Lu Lingxi was shocked. Before she could make a move, Jiuwei had already formed hand seals, and runes flew out from his hands, forming a huge barrier that enveloped the crack.

"seal up!"

With a low growl, the Nine-Tailed Fox caused the barrier to contract sharply, sealing the crack and the blood-red hand together.

Youming was finally able to escape, and he looked at Nine-Tailed Fox with lingering fear: "Thank you."

Nine-Tails shook its head: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's get out of here quickly."

The four continued forward, but the cracks became more numerous and larger.

Emerging from the cracks are not just hands, but also all sorts of monsters, composed of fragments of time and negative emotions, and brimming with aggression.

The White Tiger brandished its enormous fists, which were surrounded by golden elements, repelling the monsters. The Nine-Tailed Fox continuously set up barriers to seal the cracks, while the Netherworld controlled fire, wood, and dark elements to attack the monsters.

Lu Lingxi Yao, wielding the Azure Dragon Sword, relentlessly slashed at the monsters that tried to approach them. Once the monsters got close, they were cleaved into pieces by her fierce swordsmanship.

However, the number of monsters increased. Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox quickly formed hand seals, and the surrounding scenery instantly transformed into a beautiful illusion. The monsters were trapped in the illusion and temporarily stopped attacking.

"Hurry up!" Nine-Tails urged.

The four seized the opportunity to rush forward, but the illusion was quickly shattered by the monsters.

Just then, Lu Lingxi suddenly stopped and closed her eyes, as if sensing something.

A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

"The exit is over there!" Lu Lingxi said, pointing to the end of the corridor.

The four of them looked in the direction Lu Lingxi pointed, only to find that the end of the corridor was completely dark and they couldn't see anything.

"There's nothing there," Youming said, puzzled.

“No, there’s something there,” Lu Lingxi said. “I can sense a powerful force of time there.”

Nine-Tails was stunned. "Could it be..."

Lu Lingxi nodded: "That's right, that should be the core of the Time Corridor, and also the location of the exit."

The four of them headed toward the end of the corridor. The closer they got, the stronger the power of time became, and the more distorted the surrounding scenery became.

Finally, they arrived at the end of the corridor, where there was a huge circular space. In the center of the space floated a giant crystal ball, which emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the entire space.

“This is the core of the Time Corridor,” Lu Lingxi Yao said.

"How do we get out?" White Tiger asked.

Lu Lingxi walked to the crystal ball, reached out her hand, and tried to touch it. The moment her fingers touched it, the crystal ball burst out with dazzling light, enveloping the four of them.

"Ah!" the four exclaimed, feeling their bodies being torn apart by a powerful force.

When they opened their eyes again, they were back on the shore of Mirror Lake.

"We're out!" Youming said excitedly.

The white tiger also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Lingxi looked at the Azure Dragon Sword in her hand, her heart filled with doubt. In the corridor of time, she seemed to sense something unusual, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Just then, the sky suddenly darkened, and a blood-red crescent moon appeared in the sky.

"Blood Moon!" Nine-Tails exclaimed in shock, "Oh no, this is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a vision of a future death flashed in the pupils of all four of them.

Lu Lingxi Yao saw her being struck by a black light, her body instantly turning to ashes.

Youming saw him being devoured by a giant monster, leaving no trace of his body.

The white tiger saw him bound by countless chains, strangled to death.

Nine-Tails saw him fall into a pool of blood after being pierced through the heart by a sword aura.

The four of them paled, clearly knowing that this was the curse of the Time Corridor.

"Are we going to die?" Youming asked, trembling.

"No, we won't die!" Lu Lingxi said firmly. "We will definitely find a way to break the curse!"

She looked at Nine-Tails: "Nine-Tails, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you know any way to break the curse of the Time Corridor?"

Nine-Tailed Fox shook her head: "I don't know. The curse of the Time Corridor is the power of time, and it's very difficult to break."

"Is there... really no way out?" the White Tiger said in despair.

Lu Lingxi clenched her fists. She wouldn't give up. She looked at the blood moon in the sky and said firmly, "There must be a way!"
