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

As night fell again, two slender figures, guided by the howling wind, silently left the secret stronghold of the Rock Tribe. Under the cover of darkness, they evaded the patrols in Rock City, quietly left the city, and then sped towards the Death Swamp along the hidden path that Rock Lie had told them about.

Even in the outer areas of the Death Swamp, there are deadly dangers. The dark green mud exudes a nauseating stench, and one can easily sink into it if one is not careful.

Poisonous insects of various colors lurk beneath withered branches and fallen leaves, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment. Furthermore, some enormous and ferocious swamp monsters lie in wait in the murky waters, waiting for their prey to come to them.

With his keen intuition, Di Lin constantly avoided the territory of the demon beasts, while You Ming relied on his spiritual perception to detect the hidden threats in advance. Whether it was poisonous plants, lurking venomous insects, or powerful swamp demon beasts, he could sense them in advance and avoid them.

After several hours of trekking, they finally crossed the outer edge of the Death Swamp and arrived at a slightly secluded hillside. From here, they could see in the distance the area shrouded in poisonous miasma—the Abyss of Broken Souls.

Several miles ahead, a vast and boundless area was completely covered by black poisonous miasma. Within the miasma, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and countless twisted ghostly figures could be vaguely seen darting and howling within. At the center of the miasma stood a black fortress, shaped like the head of a demon with its gaping maw, its two spires piercing the sky like fangs.

Surrounding the fortress, layer upon layer of dark red light curtains enveloped the entire Soul Abyss. Runes flowed on the light curtains, radiating destructive energy fluctuations.

In the air, dozens of demon soldiers riding winged dragons circled overhead, patrolling and scanning every inch of land below with their sharp eyes.

On the ground, squads of soldiers clad in heavy black armor and wielding giant axes or halberds patrolled along fixed routes in neat formations.

The entire Soul Abyss is like a heavily fortified, impregnable fortress of death.

"Such strong defense..." Di Lin muttered to himself, his heart filled with cold sweat for his father's safety. If his father was really imprisoned here, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to rescue him.

Meanwhile, Lu Lingxi, far away in the secret stronghold of Panshi City, was also closing her eyes and concentrating, connecting her mental energy with the darkness.

She could clearly sense that Dark Night's perception was carefully penetrating the poisonous miasma and energy interference on the periphery of the Death Swamp, gradually extending towards the core area of ​​the Soul Abyss.

"Owner,"

An Ye’s voice echoed in Lu Lingxi’s mind: “The restrictions on the outer perimeter of the Soul Abyss are extremely powerful, containing extremely insidious power. They can not only block physical detection, but also have a strong shielding and interference effect on mental power and soul perception. My perception can only barely penetrate the outermost few restrictions. The further in I go, the greater the resistance and the more chaotic the energy fluctuations become.”

"Can you sense what's going on inside?" Lu Lingxi asked.

“Yes, I can sense a vast but strongly suppressed life force,” Dark Night’s voice carried a hint of uncertainty. “This force… is very ancient, but also very weak, and is interfered with by restrictions, making it very blurry. I can’t confirm it… It’s like… like a deliberately left afterimage, or rather, a carefully disguised force.”

"Is it impossible to go any deeper?"

"No, Master, if we go any deeper, my senses will be shattered by those core restrictions, and we might even expose our presence," Dark Night said.

Lu Lingxi frowned slightly. The information from Dark Night confirmed her guess, but also brought more questions. She immediately transmitted Dark Night's discovery to Di Lin and You Ming on the outskirts of the Soul-Severing Abyss through mental connection.

Upon receiving the information, Di Lin immediately activated the power of his royal bloodline, attempting to establish a connection with that faint aura. He could indeed sense that there seemed to be a faint aura in the abyss, but it was too weak for him to be sure if it belonged to his father.

Youming gently closed his eyes, his body slightly levitating, and his powerful spiritual energy spread towards the fortress of the Soul-Severing Abyss. After a moment, he opened his eyes, his face showing a hint of solemnity: "I sense that there are many powerful individuals inside the fortress, as well as tens of thousands of guards."

“Moreover,” Youming added, “there are very strange energy fluctuations in certain areas of the fortress, like…like an illusion or a puppet created by some kind of secret method.”

Di Lin and You Ming carefully observed the pattern of the guard rotation, the rune traps around the fortress, and the flight paths of the aerial patrol team, memorizing all the details.
