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

Nalan Rongzhi sensed the mysterious man's perilous situation. Ignoring his own exhaustion, a phantom of a demon god appeared behind him. With a flick of his arms, a powerful divine and demonic shield protected the mysterious man. At the same time, he drew his demonic sword, shattering all the resentful spikes that were attacking the mysterious man.

At the same time, the nine tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly coiled up, and the power of the nine elements instantly merged, transforming into a huge nine-colored halo that suppressed the Star Soul King's movements and created an opportunity for the mysterious man to attack.

"It's now!"

A glint flashed in the mysterious man's eyes, and the power of reincarnation and death transformed into a gray chain of death, binding the pulsating core of the Star Soul King's resentment and frantically extracting its essence.

Star Soul King let out a desperate roar, his body trembling violently, and resentment scattered everywhere. Nalan Rongzhi and Nine-Tailed Fox seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the power of gods and demons and the power of the Nine Yuan Demons erupted at the same time. The two supreme powers transformed into pillars of destructive light, one on the left and one on the right, and slammed hard into Star Soul King's already unstable body.

"boom--"

Amidst the earth-shattering explosion, Star Soul King's body shattered inch by inch, finally vanishing into nothingness with a final, unwilling howl.

All three swayed, their faces pale, and Nalan Rongzhi even had a trickle of blood spill from the corner of his mouth. He didn't have time to adjust his breathing and immediately flew forward, carefully picking the Nine Lives Reincarnation Grass. Only after obtaining the spiritual herb did his tense heartstrings relax a little.

After a short rest, they immediately headed to their next target—the Primal Vortex.

“The Primordial Crystal is located at the center of the vortex,” Nalan Rongzhi said.

From afar, it appears as an enormous, slowly rotating, colorful nebula vortex, radiating a heart-stopping suction force.

"I'll clear the way!"

With a low roar, the Nine-Tailed Fox formed a constantly rotating nine-colored drill in front of him, attempting to carve a path through this raging sea of ​​energy. However, the energy of the Primordial Vortex far exceeded his expectations, and the nine-colored drill was shredded by the primordial energy as soon as it penetrated a hundred feet.

The mysterious man frowned. He activated his divine power, trying to stabilize the raging energy around him with the power of reincarnation, but it was only a drop in the ocean. When the divine power in his body sensed the original aura of the Primordial Vortex, it became slightly restless, as if it was yearning for something.

"Looks like we have no choice but to force our way in!"

A hint of madness flashed in Nalan Rongzhi's eyes. He pushed his divine power and demonic energy to the limit, and the spatial power around him surged wildly, attempting to forcibly tear open a path to the center.

"Boom!" The primordial vortex seemed to be enraged, and a violent torrent of energy swept towards them.

At this critical moment, the mysterious man suddenly sensed a special guidance hidden in the message about the Origin Vortex left by the old fisherman between his eyebrows. He had a flash of inspiration and mixed his divine power with a wisp of primordial power, striking a specific node in the vortex.

The raging torrent of energy paused for a moment upon contact with this power, as if it had been briefly suppressed by some kind of rule.

Nalan Rongzhi seized the opportunity, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he rushed toward the center of the vortex. Nine-Tailed Fox and the mysterious man followed closely behind, working together to resist the energy surges from all around.

At the center of the vortex was a relatively calm area, where a fist-sized, completely transparent crystal floated quietly, exuding the vast aura of the beginning of the universe. This was the Primordial Origin Crystal.

However, just as they were about to touch the Primordial Crystal, the entire Primordial Vortex suddenly trembled violently, and a terrifying devouring force surged from all directions, as if it wanted to completely assimilate them.

"It's backfiring!" Nine-Tailed Fox exclaimed.

Nalan Rongzhi desperately reached for the Primordial Crystal, but just as his fingertips were about to touch it, an invisible energy blade silently slashed out from beside the crystal, aiming straight for his wrist.

"Watch out!" The mysterious man's pupils shrank, and almost instinctively he stood in front of Nalan Rongzhi. The energy blade slashed hard at his arm, and even with the power of reincarnation protecting him, it still left a deep wound that exposed the bone, and blood instantly soaked his black robe.

“You…” Nalan Rongzhi was taken aback.

The mysterious man merely grunted, then with a backhand strike, shattered the energy blade that was attempting to attack again, while urging, "Hurry up and take it!"

Without hesitation, Nalan Rongzhi grabbed the Primordial Crystal. The three of them immediately seized the brief period of energy stagnation and desperately rushed out of the Primordial Vortex. As soon as they escaped, the Primordial Vortex went completely berserk, unleashing a world-destroying energy storm.

Looking at the gruesome wound on the mysterious man's arm, a complex emotion flashed in Nalan Rongzhi's eyes, but saving Yao Yao was the priority at the moment, so he simply said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

The mysterious man simply shook his head, indicating that it was nothing, but in his heart he thought: as long as I can save her, what does this little injury matter?

The final "Land of Love's Tribulations" is only vaguely located in the old fisherman's message, which states that this place is ethereal and can only be sensed by those with deepest feelings.

Following the guidance, Nalan Rongzhi arrived at a seemingly ordinary void. He closed his eyes and released all his love and longing for Lu Lingxi Yao without reservation.

Gradually, he felt ripples spreading across the void ahead, and a special realm woven from love, hate, and passion slowly opened its doors to him.

"Wait for me here," Nalan Rongzhi said to the Nine-Tailed Fox and the mysterious man, then resolutely stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the Land of Love Tribulations, it was as if he had fallen into the mortal world, with illusions arising one after another.

He saw Lu Lingxi Yao smiling radiantly, nestled in the arms of another handsome man. The man was extremely attentive to her, and the two were in perfect harmony, envied by all.

Nalan Rongzhi's heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp blade, but he endured the excruciating pain and told himself, "This is not Yao Yao. Yao Yao only has me in her heart."

The illusion changed again, and he and Lu Lingxi Yao went into seclusion in the mountains, living a life like that of immortals, without strife or killing, only with each other's company and warmth.

This beautiful scene almost made him lose himself, but he suddenly bit his tongue, and the sharp pain brought him back to his senses: "Yaoyao's ambitions are not limited to this, and I cannot confine her because of my own selfishness."

Then came endless suffering. He saw Lu Lingxi Yao repeatedly put herself in danger to save him, and finally her soul was scattered in front of him. That heart-wrenching despair almost completely destroyed his will.

He held Lu Lingxi's cold body, overwhelmed with grief, but deep within his soul, a voice cried out: "No! Yao Yao won't give up so easily, and neither can I!"

Furthermore, there are his own past nightmares: the tragic deaths of his parents, the loss of his throne, being hunted down, and being poisoned by a demon. Those deep-seated hatreds and resentments have transformed into inner demons, trying to tempt him to give up love and indulge in the pleasure of revenge.

A myriad of emotional torrents—the pain of separation from loved ones, the pain of being with those one hates, the pain of not getting what one desires, the burning of the five aggregates—attacked his mind and soul.
