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

Upon hearing this, Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but gasp. The Silent Star Ruins and the Primordial Vortex—just from the name, one could tell it was a place where one had to die at the slightest chance of survival.

Kong Diao Weng's gaze shifted to Nalan Rongzhi, becoming exceptionally sharp: "The first two items, though difficult to find, are ultimately external things, but the most crucial third item is... closely related to you."

Nalan Rongzhi was startled and said without hesitation, "Please speak frankly, senior!"

"The third thing is the 'Eternal Heart'," the old angler said, emphasizing each word. "It doesn't refer to a physical heart, but rather a condensation of will. You need to find a 'Land of Love Tribulations,' a special place where countless lovesick men and women gather, their obsessions intertwined, their love and hate entangled, enduring for countless ages. You must enter it, using your own true feelings as a guide, to undergo the trials of illusion and endure all kinds of emotional suffering. If you can see through the illusion, hold fast to your true heart, and remain unmoved by external things, then at the core of that Land of Love Tribulations, you can condense an 'Eternal Heart' formed from pure emotion. This heart can stabilize the soul and endow it with the characteristic of immortality."

"As for that 'catalyst'..." Kong Diao Weng looked deeply at Nalan Rongzhi, "it is yourself. This girl's soul was scattered due to the backlash of the Creation God's power. Ordinary soul power can no longer draw her back. Only you, with your deep-rooted love for her and your soul connected to hers, and with the inheritance of the Night Rising God within you, the source of that divine power is of the same lineage as the Creation God's power, yet it also possesses a trace of demonic resilience. You need to burn at least 70% of your divine and demonic essence and life essence, transforming it into a 'soul-guiding fire,' using the Eternal Heart as the wick, and the soul body reshaped by the Nine Lives Reincarnation Grass and the Primordial Origin Crystal as the lamp base, burning day and night for forty-nine days, fueled by your love and longing for her, in order to draw back the last wisp of her true spirit scattered between heaven and earth and integrate it into her soul body."

"This process will be like scraping your bones and removing your marrow for you. Not only will your cultivation be greatly damaged, but your lifespan will also be reduced by more than half. ... If your will wavers even slightly and the soul-summoning fails, you will also perish, soul and spirit!"

The words of the old fisherman weighed heavily on everyone's hearts like a boulder. Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes were filled with shock and worry. He looked at Nalan Rongzhi, opened his mouth, but did not know how to persuade him.

The mysterious man's eyes, hidden beneath his hood, flickered slightly, as if he were horrified by the heavy price he was paying.

However, there was no hesitation or retreat on Nalan Rongzhi's face. He looked at Kong Diaoweng with firm eyes and said in a resolute voice, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

He gently stroked Lu Lingxi's pale, cold face, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and pity: "Yaoyao, wait for me..."

The old fisherman looked at him for a long time before letting out a long sigh: "Foolish child, foolish child... The word 'love' is indeed the most incomprehensible and the most moving force in this world. Since you have made up your mind, I, the old man, will lend you a helping hand once more."

He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the air. Three faint beams of light entered the brows of Nalan Rongzhi, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and the mysterious man, respectively.

"This is the approximate location of the Desolate Star Ruins, the Primordial Vortex, and the Land of Love Tribulations, along with some important notes. Go now, this girl's time... is running out."

Having done all this, the old angler, carrying Lu Lingxi Yao's physical body, quietly disappeared into the bamboo forest, just as he had appeared...

The three dared not delay for a moment, and following the message implanted between the eyebrows by the old fisherman, they sped toward the "Silent Star Ruins".

The closer you get, the more violent the surrounding energy becomes. Stars meet their end here, and the destructive energy they release when they perish is like a storm, tearing apart anything that enters. The resentment of the stars condenses into star spirits and vengeful spirits of various shapes, wandering in the gray star ruins.

Nalan Rongzhi's body was surrounded by a mixture of demonic energy and divine power, forming a tough protective shield that kept most of the destructive energy out.

Nine-Tailed Fox followed closely behind, its nine elemental powers transforming into either a barrier of flames to burn away the oncoming chilling resentment or into a wall of earth and stone to withstand the impact of star fragments.

The mysterious man (Bei Chen Haoyu) brought up the rear. He was surrounded by a faint layer of reincarnation and death power. The vengeful spirits instinctively retreated after sensing this power.

"Roar!"

A colossal vengeful spirit, formed from dozens of star cores, suddenly burst forth from behind a nebula. It resembled a ferocious beast, emanating a suffocating aura of destruction. Its gaping maw was like a bottomless, dark abyss.

"Watch out!" Nine-Tailed Fox shouted, and nine elemental chains roared out, attempting to entangle the vengeful spirit.

Nalan Rongzhi didn't even turn his head. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind: to find the Nine Lives Reincarnation Grass as soon as possible. Any obstacle had to be crushed. He swung his palm back, and divine power and demonic energy merged to form a giant hand that blotted out the sky and slammed it hard against the giant star soul vengeful spirit.

"boom!"

The giant hand collided violently with the Star Soul Wraith, producing a deafening roar. The Wraith let out a shrill howl, and its massive body was forced back several steps. However, in less than a second, it launched a frenzied counterattack.

Just then, an almost transparent gray line shot out from the mysterious man's fingertip and silently pierced into the body of the Star Soul Wraith.

The vengeful spirit's enormous body suddenly stiffened, and then the star core that made up its body began to lose its luster rapidly, as if its life force had been instantly drained, and it disintegrated and turned into dust.

They traveled through this star-shattered wasteland for an unknown amount of time, and finally, in an area of ​​star debris shrouded in deathly aura, they sensed a faint fluctuation of life. Nalan Rongzhi's spirits lifted.

At the center of the star debris was a bottomless cave. At the bottom of the cave, a small grass, entirely green with starlight flowing on its leaves and radiating a nine-colored halo, was growing tenaciously. Around it, there were nine strands of condensed and undissipated soul power aura. It was the Nine Lives Reincarnation Grass!

However, guarding this sacred herb is a terrifying Star Soul King, formed from powerful resentment, whose strength is close to that of a god.

"Nine-Tailed Fox, use the left flank to restrain it. Brother Black Robe, find its fundamental weakness!"

After Nalan Rongzhi finished speaking, he took the lead and went forward. He struck out with his palm, and the demonic energy and elemental light transformed into a destructive torrent that struck the Star Soul King directly.

Nine-Tailed Fox immediately understood and instantly transformed into its battle form as a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Under its guidance, the nine elemental powers transformed into nine elemental dragons that roared and swirled. One part intercepted the Star Soul King's resentment as it attacked Nalan Rongzhi, while the other part launched a fierce attack from the side. The elemental radiance collided with the Star Soul King's body, erupting in bursts of thunder.

Star Soul King roared repeatedly, his enormous claws of resentment tearing through the void as they struck towards Nalan Rongzhi and Nine-Tailed Fox. Just then, the mysterious figure moved like a ghost through the gaps in Star Soul King's frenzied attacks. His face was cold and stern, and invisible power condensed in his hands. His eyes, which could see through life and death, were locked on the most intense part of Star Soul King's resentment. With a light tap of his fingertips, streams of reincarnation and death power silently pierced into Star Soul King's essence, annihilating its resentment.

"Roar!"

Star Soul King let out a painful howl. The mysterious man's attack struck its vital point, causing its essence to fluctuate. It immediately reversed some of its attacks, and spikes formed from its resentment shot towards the mysterious man.
