You've found the Gusha-hime Knight, so put your hair up in a bun!

Having a maid with such exceptional looks, temperament, and abilities by your side, even your own appearance, which was once praised by many, would seem like the difference between an ugly duckling and a swan in comparison.

'No, no!'

The depressed girl covered her head and shook it quickly.

After taking a deep breath, her fluorescent blue eyes returned to calm. Then, the girl skillfully turned on the switch of the bathing magic tool and began a thorough cleaning.

Regardless of what Xi Luo thought, the girl had made up her mind to devote herself wholeheartedly to repaying her older brother's life-saving grace.

'You absolutely mustn't let your mind wander anymore, Irene.'

Inside the bedroom, Shiloh was closing his eyes, sensing something very important—something that concerned whether he could reshape his body's magic circuits in the future.

A short while later, Xi Luo suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of a surprised smile.

"Haha, this thing is actually still here!"

As the lead producer of "God's Abyss", how could Xi Luo not leave himself some special privileges?

Before undergoing the brain-computer interface test, Shiloh added a unique "cheat" to the game that was linked to his identity information—a personalized skill setting system.

Simply put, Silo can create a skill directly in the game world by inputting a description of it, and use it regardless of level, although the mana cost will vary.

Of course, only he has the right to use this technology.

In the real world, the process of using this privilege is roughly as follows: as long as Shiloh has read the detailed description of a skill, he can directly learn that skill.

Furthermore, theoretically speaking, as long as the extraordinary circuit is complete and his mental energy, i.e., his mana, is sufficient, he can conjure even the most advanced super-level magic by hand.

After pondering for a while, Xi Luo rubbed his temples and sighed, "As expected, the skill memories of this world cannot be fully recalled."

It seems that even after crossing over into the real world, I am still subject to some limitations.

Those skills that were so familiar in my past life now seem to be shrouded in a thin mist, making them difficult to see clearly.

"Let's switch it to fully automatic first."

After Xiluo manipulated his mind, when he opened his eyes again, he felt that the world had become a level brighter.

It's as if you've suddenly gained unparalleled wisdom, and any obscure or difficult skill has become as simple as a primary school math problem.

"Very good, now all we need to do is create that skill..."

Silo sat cross-legged on the soft bed, tentatively trying to reproduce the "skill" imprinted deep in his past life's memories using the system.

"The opening lines of the *Yin Yang He Huan Jing* should be: 'Life and nature are the foundation of man; desires are man's interests. Of all the resources for survival and profit, none is greater than food and clothing. Once food and clothing are sufficient, nothing is more desirable than pleasure. The ultimate pleasure is the way of husband and wife, the harmony of the feelings between men and women…'"

Having achieved fame at a young age and possessing handsome looks, Xi Luo in his previous life naturally had no shortage of suitors.

However, it was quite difficult to appease his love interest while also managing his work, so Xi Luo sought help from a master at a popular Taoist temple and successfully obtained an ancient secret manual—the "Yin Yang Harmony Scripture".

At first, Xi Luo only practiced with the idea of ​​giving it a try, but he didn't expect the effect to be so remarkable. So, with his daily study, he memorized the manual perfectly.

After filling the system with the contents of the manual, Xi Luo immediately felt profound knowledge flooding into his mind, and even some things he didn't understand in his previous life completely disappeared at this moment.

Chapter 13 Tyrannical Chosen One? My Yang Meridian!

"call--"

Xi Luo let out a soft breath, contemplating the "Divine Abyss Version" of the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture that was now appearing in his mind.

The Huainanzi (淮南子) states in its chapter on astronomy: "The Dao begins with one, but one does not give birth to anything. Therefore, it is divided into yin and yang. When yin and yang unite, all things are born. Hence it is said, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."

According to the explanation in the Huainanzi, "two" means "yin and yang" and "three" means "the harmony of yin and yang".

Therefore, the "one" in the Yin-Yang Harmony Classic (Shenyuan version) is the Great Dao of this world, which is extraordinary power.

Due to the damage to his magic circuits, the extraordinary circuits within Shiloh's body are no longer complete. Therefore, theoretically, his "one" can never be reached and can only remain at the initial [Dust-Bound Step].

However, the Tao can give rise to Yin and Yang, and the harmony of Yin and Yang can give rise to all things.

This path of deduction can also be reversed.

Essentially, Xiluo's "One" is the "Tao" in the world of the Divine Abyss.

It has always been there; it's just that everyone finds it in different ways.

This is what is meant by "There are three thousand great paths, but they all lead to the same destination".

What Xi Luo needs to do is to use the Yin-Yang principles in this cultivation method to reach the "One" at the root.

The most basic requirement for cultivating this technique is that the extraordinary circuits within the body must contain only two opposing elemental properties: "yin" and "yang".

However, this is completely impossible within the worldview of the Divine Abyss.

Logically speaking, everyone's extraordinary circuits possess all kinds of elemental attributes, but the proportions may differ.

People with a higher proportion of fire element tend to have greater talent and strength in learning and using fire-attribute magic, prayer, and combat skills, and the same applies to other elements.

If only two conflicting elements exist in the body, a person would probably die from low tolerance to the other elements in the world before the circuits break due to the conflict between these two elements.

In fact, Shiloh is currently in this predicament.

With his magic circuits damaged, the balance of his extraordinary circuits was lost. Coupled with the continuous lack of exposure to elemental stimulation, Shiloh's tolerance to various elements was gradually decreasing.

Fortunately, the Wells family has many items to maintain the balance of the body's elements, which is why he has not suffered much damage so far.

However, her current physical condition is just as Shiloh wished.

If you're going to do it, you have to do it to the best of your ability.

Having made up his mind to cultivate the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture, he was determined to "sever" all the extraordinary circuits in his body when the conditions were right, and then use the technique to create a completely new circuit by himself!

This was also one of the reasons why he deliberately brought Cecilia along to rescue Irene.

In the original story, Irene was rescued by Cecilia during her escape and became her most loyal follower afterward.

"Crown of Shadows" was the infamous name that would later spread throughout the entire world of the Divine Abyss.

Irene was once the daughter of a nobleman in a second-tier city of the empire. Due to a disaster from the abyss, her father died in the battlefield fighting against the demons.

What infuriated her was that, despite it being a sudden natural disaster, and her father having shed his last drop of blood to protect the people, the verdict from the capital stated that it was because her father was "negligent in his duties" that he failed to control the disaster in time...

Despite her immense anger at the outcome, Irene knew that, powerless and weak, she had no way to overturn her father's case.

Therefore, she had to hide, to escape the sight of these people, and no matter how ugly or how barely alive she was, she had to do everything in her power to survive.

If I die, there will truly be no hope left.

In the original story, Irene eventually got this opportunity.

Her mother died when she was very young, but she was left with the bloodline of the "Shadowwalker," who possessed extremely powerful shadow magic talent.

The "Shadowwalkers" are the offspring of the ancient demigod "Shadow of All Things," who were granted the powerful talent to control shadows and passed it down through their bloodlines.

Furthermore, they possess a unique ability—'Shadow Pact'—which can assimilate the contractor's extraordinary circuits, greatly enhancing their affinity for shadow elements. This is the main reason why Shiloh took in this little guy.

However, this ability can only be activated after Irene's bloodline is fully awakened. For now, it's more important to steadily cultivate a relationship with her.

Having found the "Yin" meridian in the Yin-Yang dual meridian system, Xi Luo now needs to find a "Yang" meridian that is equivalent to the "Shadowwalker" bloodline rank.

Although Cecilia possesses divine power, and her extraordinary circuits have an affinity for the element of light that is almost unique in the entire world, this talent has no possibility of being taken over or synchronized with Shiloh.

"Wait, maybe that will work too?"

"First Release by ??0??u.com Reading Club"

Xilomo paused in stroking his chin, then raised his eyebrows, suddenly remembering a city next to Maple Leaf Territory—the Water City of Xifiel.

As the first map where the story officially begins after the prologue, Cecilia encounters her first major rival.

Vera Monger, the tyrannical chosen one from the abyss.

Both being members of the "Stage of Stars" and both blessed by the gods, these two celestial maidens, one from the human realm and the other from the abyss, are like black and white kings placed on a chessboard by fate, vying for supremacy and meeting on a narrow path.

The power possessed by the tyrannical god is an ever-burning, ever-extinguishing black sun.

Vera possesses the power to control this dark yang flame.

However, unlike the other two gods of the Abyss, the Chosen of Tyranny do not have a chief and a second-in-command distinction.

Its uniqueness means that the only way to obtain the chosen position is through violent battles.

The winner lives, the loser dies.

There is no other way.

Xi Luo licked the corner of his mouth, a glint of excitement flashing in his dark eyes.

Who says a dark sun isn't a sun?

If he kills Vera, the power of the tyrannical chosen one will descend upon him, and the Yang Meridian will come, right?

Hehe.

Shiloh stood up and felt that the sunlight outside had become much brighter.

The sound of a door opening rang out. Xi Luo looked back and saw wisps of white steam rising from the corridor. About ten seconds later, a beautiful girl dressed in a maid outfit with a white towel wrapped around her head walked out.

Looking at Irene, who was holding a bath towel in place with her hands and looking at him timidly with her rosy cheeks, Xiluo subconsciously licked the corner of his mouth.

Why don't we just eat her now?

The thought was quickly swept out of Shiloh's mind.

He felt it was time to find a woman in his life who was capable of being investigated by him.

Chapter 14 If you like the smell, smell it more.

After suppressing his desire without making a sound, Xi Luo chuckled and reached out to pinch the girl's plump, steamy cheeks under her shy gaze, saying, "Oh ho, you're quite pretty."

In Irene's eyes, Shiloh's gaze was pure and unadulterated, filled only with appreciation for beauty.

Receiving Shiloh's heartfelt praise, Irene felt a surge of joy, which eased the gloom that had settled on her pretty face after the loss of her family and her long period of wandering.

"Come on, sit down, let me blow-dry your hair."

Xiluo patted the soft bed beside her, then pressed Irene's shoulder. After Irene sat down, Xiluo held a bath towel in one hand and used a magic hair dryer to dry her hair with the other.

It must be said that even though Irene has not yet awakened her bloodline, her physical qualities have shown extraordinary talent.

If it were an ordinary young girl, after a long period of wandering on her own, let alone whether she could survive, even if she were lucky enough to survive, her skin and appearance would probably be almost completely destroyed, and she would need at least a period of time to recover.

However, apart from a somewhat malnourished complexion, Irene showed no other abnormalities.

In fact, her haggard appearance, coupled with her gloomy expression, gave her a delicate and fragile air, making people feel pity for her.

Using techniques honed in her previous life, Xiluo's hair-drying movements were both highly efficient and extremely gentle.

In addition to making her wet hair fluffy and dry, she also massaged her scalp, which made Irene feel a tingling sensation and made her feel drowsy.

"You've done a great job walking alone for so long."

A soft, deep voice gently sounded in her ear, momentarily clearing Irene's drowsy mind. Then, her nose tingled, and a strong sense of grievance welled up from her heart.

During her time as a homeless person, Irene deliberately covered her face with mud and dust, fearing that someone might be attracted to her appearance.

Of course, such a disheveled child would inevitably suffer beatings and humiliation from some homeless people.

Fortunately, there were also kind-hearted people among the homeless, and after being rescued by them, Irene was not beaten to death at that time.

After resting for about a week, she left alone and continued her wandering.

She didn't know where to go, but all she could do was wait and survive.

The suffering she had endured along the way had become commonplace for Irene.

When she wandered to Maple Leaf Territory, facing those ferocious and vicious dogs, and that cruel and tyrannical playboy, Irene originally thought that her life was really over.

But a hero descended from the sky and changed everything.

If she were still a noblewoman, Irene might have had reservations about Shiloh's public execution without due process of law, believing that no matter how outrageous the other party was, he should be punished in court through imperial law.

But now, Irene only feels deeply moved by Shiloh's act of beheading and scattering his ashes.

Elegant, composed, powerful...

At that moment, Shiloh represented the destiny that Irene had been searching for deep within her heart.

“Shiloh… Master! My name… My name is Irene.”

As she walked through the hall, Irene learned of Shiloh's name from the greetings from the private room attendant.

At this moment, she felt a strong and urgent desire in her heart!
