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

Chapter 327 Guardian Beast - Capturing the Sky

Lu Lingxi leaned against the Azure Dragon Sword, her breathing heavy like a bellows. The wound on her chest was still throbbing, causing her to furrow her brows in pain.

She coughed twice, and after a long pause, managed to squeeze out, "Dead...dead, right?"

The White Tiger transformed back into human form, his handsome face covered in dust and blood, looking as if he had just been dug out of the ground. He scratched his head and grinned, saying, "He should... be dead, right? We chopped off all nine of his heads, how could we possibly turn the tables?"

Nine-Tailed Fox shook her head, her tone still grave, "Don't be too happy yet, I still feel this matter isn't over yet."

Youming stood to one side, black flames swirling around him, and coldly remarked, "I can smell it too. This is probably just an appetizer!"

Just then, the ground trembled again, rumbling...

Lu Lingxi felt a tightness in her chest. She quickly scanned her surroundings, her face grave.

The tremors grew more and more violent, cracks appeared in the ground, and blood-red light pierced through the cracks, dazzling the eyes. A roar erupted—so loud that ears rang, as if the sky were about to collapse, and even space itself seemed to distort.

Immediately afterwards, a monster several times larger than the Hydra slowly rose from the ground and stood before everyone. The monster had a dragon's head and a snake's body, with sharp horns, scales that shimmered with a dark light, and blood-red eyes that shone with a bloodthirsty light, yet there was also a hint of loneliness in its eyes, as if God owed it something.

White Tiger's eyes widened, his voice trembling, "What... what is this thing?" He stood there, wondering to himself, how come there's an even more ruthless character out there?

The Nine-Tailed Fox was deathly pale, muttering to itself, "Could it be... the guardian deity of the Abyss of Chaos?"

Before he could finish speaking, a hoarse, deep voice echoed in everyone's ears: "I am Qintian. Trespassers shall die!"

“Senior Qintian,” Lu Lingxi Yao sneered, “we only wish to borrow your passage and have no intention of offending you. We hope you will grant us this favor.”

Qin Tian's blood-red eyes were fixed on Lu Lingxi Yao, a hint of contempt flashing across his face: "Want to go over? Defeat me first!"

"Then don't blame us for being impolite!" Lu Lingxi's eyes darkened, and she made the first move.

"White Tiger! Nine-Tailed Fox! Netherworld! Attack together!"

At a command, the White Tiger roared, golden light exploded, and it transformed into a golden ray of light that rushed towards Qin Tian; the Nine-Tailed Fox made hand seals and chanted incantations, nine elemental powers swirling around its body, and various gorgeous elemental attacks slammed into Qin Tian; the Netherworld's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and black flames continued to spread outward, sweeping towards Qin Tian; Lu Lingxi Yao wielded the Azure Dragon Sword, its sword energy carrying a chilling killing intent, aiming directly at Qin Tian's vital points.

However, Qintian's defenses were very strong. The white tiger's pair of sharp claws landed on Qintian's dragon scales without causing any pain, leaving only a few shallow white marks.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's elemental attack was instantly devoured, and although the Netherworld Fire could scorch Qintian, it was quickly extinguished by a mysterious force.

Even Lu Lingxi's sharp sword energy, when it struck Qin Tian, ​​only made a crisp metallic clang, as if hitting steel.

"It's useless. Your attacks are nothing more than a tickle to me!" Qin Tian's disdainful mockery rang out, full of sarcasm.

Suddenly, the giant maw of the Heaven-Capturing Demon opened, and a beam of black light shot out, instantly enveloping Lu Lingxi, Yao, and the others.

"Breath of the Candle Dragon, dodge quickly!" Nine-Tailed Fox cried out, but it was too late. The black light struck everyone in an instant.

Lu Lingxi felt a powerful force surge into her body. Instantly, her spiritual energy solidified, and her body became stiff, as if she were bound by invisible shackles.

"What...what kind of power is this?" Her voice was filled with fear as she tried to mobilize the spiritual power within her body, only to find that she was powerless.

The situation for Baihu and Jiuwei was also dire. They were shrouded in black light and unable to move. Youming was in even worse shape, swallowed up by the darkness and letting out a heart-wrenching scream.

"All things return to nothingness!" Qin Tian's deep roar was as powerful as thunder, and a powerful suction force burst forth from his body.

Lu Lingxi felt her body being pulled by an invisible force, her spiritual energy rapidly draining away, and despair surging like a tide. She knew very well that if they didn't find a way out, they would be completely swallowed by Qintian and turned into nothingness.

Just when her life was hanging by a thread, the ancient texts about the breath of the Candle Dragon flashed through her mind: "The breath of the Candle Dragon is formed from the first ray of light and darkness at the beginning of creation, and it has the power to solidify time and space." With a thought, she quickly tried to mobilize the spatial spiritual power within her body.

However, under the influence of the Candle Dragon's Breath, her spatial spiritual power became abnormally sluggish and could not function at all.

"Am I really going to die here?" Despair enveloped her heart like darkness.

Just when she was almost in despair, a flash of inspiration struck her, and a record about the "Breath of the Candle Dragon" slowly emerged in her mind.

To break free from this constraint, one must combine spatial spiritual power with one's own enlightenment to form a new force.

"Space power, return to one!" she murmured, trying to combine her spiritual power with the surrounding space. Just as her spiritual power merged with the spatial power, the surrounding black light fluctuated slightly.

Qin Tian's gaze was gradually drawn to the black light, which seemed to have weakened slightly. He frowned slightly, feeling a sense of familiarity with the special aura emanating from Lu Lingxi.

"How can you have the aura of the Creator God on you? Who are you?" Qin Tian asked, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Before Lu Lingxi could react, a powerful force erupted from her body. She felt warm all over, as if she were bathing in sunlight. Her body began to change. Her hair turned silver-white, her eyes turned gold, and she was surrounded by a holy light, like a god descending to earth.

"This...this is..." This sudden change shocked Lu Lingxi Yao.

A complex emotion flashed in Qin Tian's eyes. He slowly withdrew his attack and gradually faded from the black light, his figure transforming into a tall and upright young man.

His black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, his eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars. His features were deep and his temperament was cold and aloof. However, there was a trace of awe and fear in his eyes. He walked up to Lu Lingxi Yao and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Divine Ancestor...you've finally returned..." Qin Tian said excitedly, "I've waited for you...for so long..."

"God Ancestor?" Lu Lingxi was even more confused. She didn't know why Qin Tian would address her that way, so she explained, "I think you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm just an ordinary human, not a God Ancestor."

"The aura emanating from you... I can't be mistaken..." Qin Tian said confidently.

"You must have many questions..." Qin Tian said, "Let me explain to you slowly..."

“Okay…” Lu Lingxi nodded.

“Ancestor God, after you gave birth to the Four Gods, your physical body turned to dust and your spiritual essence merged into chaos. However, you did not completely disappear. Your spiritual essence has been reincarnating in the primordial world, waiting for the day of awakening.”

"And I am the guardian beast you created in the ancient times, responsible for guarding the Abyss of Chaos, awaiting your return."

Qin Tian's words shocked Lu Lingxi Yao. She never expected that she was the reincarnation of the Creator God. "But... why don't I have any memories at all?" Lu Lingxi Yao asked.

“Divine Ancestor, your memories were sealed during your reincarnation. Only when your power reaches a certain level, or when you encounter a special opportunity, can you break the seal and restore your memories,” Qin Tian explained.

"So... do I have regained my memories now?" Lu Lingxi asked, pointing to herself.

“You haven’t fully recovered yet.” Qin Tian shook his head. “You’ve only awakened a portion of your power, and your memories are just fragments. However, I believe that one day you will regain all your memories.”

“I see…” Lu Lingxi nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes." Qin Tian nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on Lu Lingxi Yao, as if scrutinizing every detail of her. "Tens of thousands of years ago, I was ordered by the God Ancestor to guard the Abyss of Chaos here, and now I have finally awaited the God Ancestor's return."

"Tens of thousands of years?" Lu Lingxi was shocked, finding it hard to imagine how many days and nights Qin Tian had spent in this desolate space.

"Why did the Divine Ancestor ask you to protect this chaotic land?" she continued to ask, trying to understand this mysterious being more deeply.

Qin Tian's gaze softened, as if he were recalling something: "What I protect is not only this chaotic land, but also the balance of all things. However, in these long years, I have felt more and more lonely."

“I can understand…” Lu Lingxi’s voice softened, a trace of sympathy welling up in her heart. “The outside world is ever-changing, and the prosperity of human relationships and the entanglements of emotions are things you have never experienced.”

A hint of curiosity flashed in Qin Tian's eyes, as if he was drawn in by her words: "The splendor of the world? The entanglements of emotions? Can you tell me?"

“Of course you can.” Lu Lingxi smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling with warmth. “Human life is full of all kinds of emotions, such as family affection, friendship, and love. Every emotion makes people feel warm and sometimes gives them strength. If you can get out of this chaos, you may also be able to experience this beauty.”

A hint of longing flickered in Qin Tian's eyes, as if he were filled with yearning for this world: "I...I want to know more."

“Then come with us,” Lu Lingxi said firmly, “Let’s experience the beauty of this world together.”

Qin Tian's gaze lingered on Lu Lingxi Yao, and finally, he smiled slightly and nodded: "Alright, I'll go with you..."
