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

This elixir was crafted using her own essence and blood, along with various rare medicinal herbs, and it possesses remarkable effects in restoring one's original essence. Such a feat moved even the Demon Emperor, who was accustomed to seeing rare treasures.

"Thank you, Miss Lu Ling."

Di Hong did not refuse, took the pill and swallowed it, and thanked him sincerely again. He took a deep look at Lu Lingxi Yao. This young woman was not only powerful, but also had such superb medical and alchemy skills. Her wisdom and composure in the face of danger were truly rare in the world. He secretly rejoiced that Lin'er was able to meet such an extraordinary person, which was a blessing for the demon realm.

Looking at the scene of filial piety and harmony between father and son, and between ruler and subject, Lu Lingxi felt a sense of relief. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Nalan Rongzhi's hand. The warmth from his palm made her feel incredibly at ease. No matter what the future held, with him by her side, she had nothing to fear.

Although Di Hong had just woken up and was still somewhat exhausted, his mind was very clear. After a brief exchange with Di Lin, he learned about their encounter at Tongtian Peak and the clues about the "Void Ferry" and the "Star Guide Stone".

“Void Ferry… Star-Guiding Stone…” A trace of solemnity flashed in Di Hong’s eyes. “I have seen some scattered records of the legend of the Void Ferry in an ancient book. It is said that it was a mysterious artifact built by some powerful beings in the ancient times in order to travel between different realms. However, it was built in the long river of history because of the great age. I did not expect that the Black Abyss would also be looking for this artifact.”

He paused, looking at the tattered map and Star-Guiding Stone fragments that Lu Lingxi had taken out: "This map... is of a certain area of ​​the Illusionary Sea Continent. The Illusionary Sea Continent is inherently mysterious and unpredictable, rumored to connect to many lost secret realms and ancient passages. As for this Star-Guiding Stone..."

He picked up a fragment and examined it closely. "Its material is indeed somewhat similar to the Nine Luminaries Celestial Disc, but it is more like some kind of associated mineral. The people of the Black Abyss want to use it to control the Nine Luminaries Celestial Disc. That is wishful thinking. However, the fact that they were able to find this object and draw a map shows that their understanding of the Void Ferry may be more than we imagine."

Lu Lingxi nodded: "Your Majesty is right. It seems that we have no choice but to go to the Illusionary Sea Continent."

Looking at Lu Lingxi's determined eyes, Di Hong pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Lu Ling, Lord Demon Lord, you have done a great service to the Demon Realm. Although I have just awakened, I am willing to devote all the power of the Demon Realm to help you. Once my body has recovered a bit, I will send people to thoroughly investigate all the records of the Demon Realm to see if we can find more clues about the Void Ferry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Lu Lingxi said sincerely.

In the following days, Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi stayed in Lietian City for the time being. Under the care of Lu Lingxi's medicinal pills, Di Hong recovered quickly. Although he could not immediately return to his peak strength, he was more than capable of handling government affairs and guiding Di Lin.

Under Di Hong's guidance, Di Lin began to reorganize the internal affairs of the demon realm, eliminate the remaining evil forces, appease the people, and promote loyal officials. Under his rule, the demon realm was recovering its vitality and order at a visible speed.

During this time, Lu Lingxi Yao carefully studied the map and the Star-Guiding Stone fragments, hoping to discover more useful information. Nalan Rongzhi stayed by her side closely and occasionally offered some unique insights.

With the Black Abyss forces' stronghold in the demon realm completely wiped out, they are unlikely to be able to stir up any more trouble in the demon realm in the short term. This allows Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi to put their minds at ease for the time being and focus on their upcoming itinerary.

On this day, Emperor Hong invited Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi to the Imperial Study.

“Miss Lu Ling, Lord Demon Lord,” Di Hong’s complexion had improved considerably, and his former majesty had returned to his brows, “I have ordered people to search through all the ancient and prehistoric texts in the Demon Realm. Records about the Void Ferry are still scarce, but we have discovered some interesting descriptions of the Illusionary Sea Continent.”

He took out a yellowed ancient scroll made of animal hide and handed it to Lu Lingxi: "This scroll records that in the center of the Illusionary Sea Continent, there is a region called the 'Lost Star Sea'. The space there is chaotic, the magnetic field is strange, and it is extremely dangerous. Legend has it that powerful beings once saw the phantom of an ancient ship crossing the void in the depths of the Lost Star Sea. The 'ferry' they marked on the map is very likely to be in the Lost Star Sea."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Lingxi Yao took the ancient scroll and examined it carefully, her eyes shining even brighter.

Di Hong looked at Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi with gentle eyes, his voice filled with sincere gratitude: "Miss Lu Ling, our demon realm owes you an immense debt of gratitude. We will never forget this life-saving grace."

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is too kind. Di Lin and I are friends. Friends should help each other. Moreover, Hei Yuan is our common enemy."

Di Hong nodded, then his expression turned solemn. He took out an item from his storage magic treasure—the Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Compass—and handed it to Lu Lingxi Yao: "Miss Lu Ling, this item is related to the fate of the demon realm and should not be shown to others easily, let alone given away. However, your journey is of great importance. It is not only to find the Void Crossing, but also to save all living beings from the poison of the Black Abyss. After much consideration, I believe that only this item can help you. This star compass will definitely play a greater role in your hands. At critical moments, it may even guide you when you are lost."

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi were both startled and quickly declined, "Your Majesty, this is too precious. The Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Compass is a sacred artifact of the demon realm. How can we..."

Di Hong, however, was adamant: “Miss Lu Ling, there is no need to refuse. The Demon Realm is what it is today because of you and Lord Demon Lord. Without you, the Demon Realm would have already collapsed. How could there be any sacred artifact? Treasures have spirits and will choose their own masters. I believe that the Nine Luminaries Celestial Star Plate is in your hands, which is its best home. I only hope that your journey will be successful. If you can find the Void Ferry, it will also resolve a potential crisis in the Demon Realm.”

Nalan Rongzhi looked at Lu Lingxi and nodded slightly. He understood Di Hong's determination and knew that this item was crucial to their upcoming journey.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and solemnly accepted the Nine Luminaries Celestial Disc. "Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty."

Di Hong nodded slightly, his expression turning serious: "You two must be extra careful on this trip. If needed, the Demon Realm is ready to be dispatched at any time."

A moment later, on the city tower of Rift Sky City, Di Hong and Di Lin stood side by side, watching the two figures transform into streams of light until they disappeared into the end of the sea of ​​clouds.

"Father, do you think our master and the others will have a successful trip?" Di Lin asked softly, gazing into the distance.

Di Hong's gaze was profound: "Miss Lu Ling is a person of destiny, possessing great fortune, and with the help of the Demon Lord, although this journey is dangerous, she will surely turn misfortune into good fortune..."
