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

Nalan Rongzhi held Lu Lingxi in one arm and gripped the Soul Gathering Lamp tightly in the other, his expression solemn. He pushed his spatial power to the limit, carefully avoiding the deadly turbulence and spatial rifts.

Nine-Tailed Fox followed closely behind, his nine-colored divine light forming barriers that kept out small fragments of space, relieving pressure on Nalan Rongzhi.

The mysterious man walked at the back, and he always managed to defuse potential crises at the most critical moments without making a sound. Occasionally, he would flick out a wisp of almost imperceptible power of reincarnation and death from his fingertips, causing the void creatures hidden in the shadows to quietly retreat.

After traveling through the void for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the enormous gate of light leading to the outer heavens, the gate exuding an ancient and sacred aura.

“This is it.” Nalan Rongzhi, holding Lu Lingxi Yao, resolutely stepped into the gate of light.

A flash of light, and the scene before my eyes suddenly opened up. The outer heavens were so peaceful and mysterious, with colorful skies, still stars, jade-like ground shimmering with light, and distant floating islands and ancient building complexes.

At this moment, Nalan Rongzhi had no mood to appreciate this strange scenery. He gently placed Lu Lingxi Yao's body on a jade platform with relatively abundant spiritual energy, and then took out a "Tracing Source Plate".

"Senior Kong Diao Weng lives in seclusion on a sacred mountain shrouded in auspicious seven-colored clouds." He recalled Lu Lingxi Yao's description and injected a wisp of divine power into the Origin Tracing Disc. The pointer of the Origin Tracing Disc spun for a moment and finally pointed in a direction. The three of them immediately followed the pointer's guidance and flew towards that unfamiliar mountain range.

At the mountaintop, the thatched hut remained, but the bamboo chair was now empty.

“Senior, Senior Kong Diao Weng!” Nalan Rongzhi’s voice was tinged with urgency.

"What's all this noise?" A lazy, hoarse voice came from the bamboo grove behind the thatched hut.

The three followed the sound and saw the old fisherman sitting cross-legged on a blue stone, with an antique tea set in front of him. The aroma of tea was so enticing.

He was still as disheveled as ever, his gray robe was full of wrinkles, and his beard and hair were somewhat messy, but his seemingly cloudy eyes were more profound than ever before.

"Junior Nalan Rongzhi, accompanied by his companions, has come to pay respects to Senior!" Nalan Rongzhi stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Kong Diao Weng's gaze swept lightly over the three of them, finally settling on the Soul Gathering Lamp in his hand and the exquisite body protected by the power of gods and demons in Nalan Rongzhi's arms.

When his gaze fell upon Lu Lingxi's pale face, his previously languid expression suddenly froze, and a barely perceptible look of surprise and seriousness flashed in his eyes.

“This girl… she…”

The old fisherman slowly got up and walked a few steps to Lu Lingxi Yao's side. He stretched out his withered fingers and gently placed them on her brow, carefully sensing her.

After a moment, he withdrew his finger, his expression becoming extremely complicated.

"The power of the Creator God backfired... her soul was scattered... this girl, she really... has caused a great upheaval!" The old fisherman sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of inexplicable emotion, "With a mortal body, bearing the will of the Creator God, she slayed the ancient evil god... This is unprecedented in history, unheard of and unseen. Such courage and determination would even move the God Ancestor of yesteryear."

He turned to Nalan Rongzhi, a knowing glint in his eyes: "You've come here hoping this old man will save her?"

Nalan Rongzhi knelt down with a thud, his voice filled with a tearful plea: "I beg you, senior, to save Yao Yao's life. I am willing to pay any price!"

Nine-Tailed Fox also knelt down, touching its head to the ground, expressing the same plea.

Although the mysterious man did not kneel down, he bowed slightly to express his respect.

Kong Diao Weng looked at them and remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking. His gaze swept over Nalan Rongzhi, Jiuwei, and the mysterious man, and finally fell back on Lu Lingxi Yao's lifeless face. His insightful eyes were now filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

"Ugh……"

He sighed again, a hint of helplessness in his voice, "This girl's situation is a thousand times more troublesome than her mother, Yueying Jiuge's, last time. Although Yueying Jiuge sacrificed herself, merging her soul power into the seal, a trace of her original soul remained. Moreover, with the help of treasures like the Brahma Lotus and the Ghostly Jade, she was able to be reshaped. But this girl..."

He paused, his tone growing increasingly heavy: "She used herself as a vessel to bear and unleash a divine power of creation far exceeding her own limits. Such power is beyond the control of mortal bodies. Although the evil god was destroyed, the backlash from that power almost completely shattered her soul, and even her life essence is like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. You barely managed to collect her remnants of soul with the Soul Gathering Lamp, but it is only a temporary measure. Without a way to defy the heavens, her soul will eventually dissipate completely into the world."

Nalan Rongzhi's heart ached as if being slowly tortured with every word Kong Diaowen said, making it hard to breathe. He raised his head, his bloodshot purple eyes fixed on Kong Diaowen, "Senior, please enlighten me. As long as Yaoyao can be saved, I will do anything, even search the highest heavens and the deepest hells, without hesitation!"

Looking at the obsessive affection in his eyes, the old fisherman was slightly moved. He pondered for a moment and slowly said, "There is a method, but... it is more difficult than finding the Brahma Lotus and the Ghost Jade. Moreover, even if we gather all the necessary items, I am not entirely sure if we can succeed."

"Please enlighten me, senior!" A faint glimmer of hope rekindled in Nalan Rongzhi's heart.

The old fisherman stroked his white beard, his gaze becoming distant and profound: "To awaken this girl, we need three rare and wondrous items, as well as... a powerful and profound emotional connection that can shake the very laws of heaven and earth."

"The first item is called 'Nine Lives Reincarnation Grass.' This grass is not an ordinary spiritual plant, but a sacred medicine of the soul path born in the 'Silent Star Ruins.' The Silent Star Ruins are the place where stars come to an end and turn into dust. It is filled with the destructive energy generated when stars are destroyed, as well as countless star souls and vengeful spirits, making it extremely dangerous. The Nine Lives Reincarnation Grass is formed by drawing a trace of the original soul from endless death and destruction, and undergoing nine cycles of withering and flourishing and death. It can nourish the soul, repair its defects, and reunite the dissipated soul power."

"The second item is called the 'Primordial Crystal'," the old angler continued. "This item was formed from the primordial power of the beginning of chaos, before heaven and earth were separated. It contains the secrets of the universe's creation and lies hidden at the center of the 'Primordial Vortex.' The Primordial Vortex is the most dangerous energy vortex in the universe, with intersecting dimensions and chaotic rules. Even a supreme god could be instantly annihilated if he ventured into it. The Primordial Crystal is the 'cosmic anchor' that suppresses the Primordial Vortex. To obtain it, one must not only resist the devouring of primordial energy but may also trigger a violent backlash from the entire Primordial Vortex."
