The moment she stepped into the beam of light, it seemed as if she had crossed through the cracks in time and space. The scene before her suddenly changed and she found herself amidst chaos.
All around was a grey, foggy mess, without sun, moon, stars, nor mountains and rivers.
The only thing visible was an endless swirling mass of chaotic energy, as if the world was still in its very earliest state of chaos.
She took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her spirit, but low and distant voices sounded in her ears—it was the transmission of Yèmíng:
"This is the heart of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, the place where chaos was first opened. Your trial begins here. Remember, each test is a tempering of your character. Greed, anger, and ignorance—these three poisons are hard for all beings in the three realms to escape. If you can conquer them one by one, then you will show your true nature as a goddess."
Yú Yuáo's heart was filled with apprehension, making her feel a bit nervous.
She did not immediately explore; instead, she sat cross-legged on the spot and began to organize her memories and the storyline.
With the memories and the plot in mind, she would be better equipped to deal with what was to come.
She would also be better able to familiarize herself with this world.
Original owner Yu Ji, Flower Realm Goddess, has been practicing for fourteen hundred thousand years.
Her mother, the former Goddess of Flowers Qingwan, fell into a permanent slumber due to certain reasons and has not awakened since.
Her father, Lingxu Sage-King, was unable to pass the great life and death test due to his advanced age and having lived for too long, and has already returned to the chaotic void.
To put it simply, he has passed away.
The original host, though very upset, also quickly picked herself up.
From then on, she lived in the Flower Realm, carefully managing it and caring for every plant and tree in the realm.
Sometimes, the original host would also travel outside for excursions.
Until one day, the original host came to the Moon Gazing Mountain in the Immortal Realm and encountered a golden ni beast.
The golden ni beast was one of the ten most dangerous beasts in the vast and desolate lands. In ancient times, it had rampaged through the southern wastelands of the fire tribe, displaying a terrifying strength.
Although the original host was a goddess, her cultivation was only at the level of a Golden Immortal, which is quite ordinary in the Immortal Realm.
The original host was not able to match the strength of the golden ni beast and was burned by its flames, barely escaping with her life.
At the critical moment, Chu Yuan god appeared and saved the original host.
That's the dog that wanted to pluck her divine pulse.
Since then, the original host fell in love with Chu Yuan God completely and uncontrollably, launching various pursuits and being as attentive as could be.
However, Chu Yuan God held a deep-seated contempt for the original host, but the original host paid no heed. She continued to try her best to please and pursue him, causing the entire six realms to be aware of her actions.
The original host was very upset, but she did not back down. She merely thought that she was not doing enough.
Until one day, Chu Yuan God returned from his earthly journey and advent. He didn't know what the dog had caused a fuss about and suddenly appeared in the Flower Realm, asking the original host if she was willing to marry him.
The original host was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
After marriage, Chu Yuan God was extremely cold towards the original host, never stepping into her room and never touching her.
The original host was heartbroken and upset, but she only attributed it to herself not being beloved by her husband. She cautiously served and pleased him, hoping that one day she could melt his cold heart.
One day, the original host found that Chu Yuan God frequently descended into the mortal realm. She followed to check it out.
She discovered that her husband was embracing a mortal woman named Jiang Wanrou in the mortal realm, and they addressed each other as husband and wife, showing a close and loving relationship.
At that moment, the original host was driven crazy by anger and jealousy, wanting to kill Jiang Wanrou.
Chu Yuan God naturally would not let the original host succeed and instead stopped hiding, revealing his true nature, to pluck the divine pulse from the original host.
Because Jiang Wanrou was a mortal and had no spiritual root, Chu Yuan God wanted to pluck the divine pulse from the original host so that Jiang Wanrou could transform from a mortal woman into a goddess.
She had never thought about what would happen if the original host lost her divine pulse.
"You deserving dog!"
Upon reading this, Yu Yao's face turned as dark as night, and she began to curse, thinking that the original host was truly blind.
"Uncle, what is the task of this world?"
Yu Yao calmed down and asked the system.
Quickly, a series of electronic sounds played in her mind.
"Ding! The task for the host is now being released."
"Ding! Task one: have a child with the child of qi yun. Task two: make Chu Yuan God regret and go full-on crazy for the original host."
The first task did not come as a surprise to Yu Yao, and she was mentally prepared for it.
But the second task made her stunned.
Regret? Go full-on crazy for the original host?
After coming to terms with it, she smiled and found the second task quite interesting.
The regret and pursuing the original host does not necessarily mean that she has to be with that dog thing.
By the time the task is completed, that dog thing will be at her mercy, and she can do whatever she wants to him.
Just thinking about that scene is rather satisfying.
"Right, host. This is the Immortal and Demonic Realm. Due to the difficulty, earning a child is worth 100,000 points, and completing task two is also worth 100,000 points."
The system said happily again.
Yu Yao hummed in response, stood up where she was, and brushed off the dust from her body, beginning to explore the surrounding environment.
She certainly didn't forget that she was currently in a trial.
As she walked, she channeled her divine power within her body, attempting to perceive the environment around her.
Her divine power spread out like ripples, but as if swallowed by chaos, it received no response at all.
Yu Yao furrowed her brow, feeling a sense of unease in her heart.
But she quickly retracted it and continued on her way.
As she moved slowly forward, the chaos began to show subtle changes, as if some ancient power was awakening.
Suddenly, a faintly glowing lotus flower appeared in her sight, which was none other than the legendary Chuanhuan Blue Lotus, containing the great power of creating the heavens and earth.
Her gaze was instantly drawn to the lotus, her expression shocked.
A myriad of legends about the Chuanhuan Blue Lotus flashed through her mind. It was a treasure born from the beginning of the world, which had nurtured the great god Pangu, and possessed incredible power that could not be imagined.
It was also the ultimate treasure that all immortals and demons yearned for.
A strong desire rose in her heart to possess it for herself.
Yu Yao excitedly ran over, but she stopped dead in her tracks after just a few steps.
No, if there truly was a Chuanhuan Blue Lotus here, it would most likely have been taken away by Ye Ming long ago. How could it possibly be her turn now?
She calmed down and suddenly remembered what Ye Ming had said about "greed, anger, and ignorance."
Could this be a test of "greed"?
To see if she can resist the temptation of greed.
She knew that once she reached out, it would mean failing the trial and possibly being lost in the chaos forever.
Yu Yao gritted her teeth, suppressing the greed in her heart, and turned her gaze away, continuing to explore forward.
As she moved forward, the chaos aura grew thicker, as if invisible forces were tearing at her willpower.
Suddenly, the air around her began to twist and form a series of scenes from her past experiences with pain and injustice.
In the scene, she saw herself before becoming the task carrier. She was still a Golden Essence refiner, pregnant and searching for medicinal herbs everywhere just to solidify her realm.
But she encountered a scoundrel who betrayed her, and in the fight with him, her belly was pierced by the scoundrel.
She saw the death of her relatives, but she was powerless to do anything.
She saw the previous life's male protagonist nightly indulging in erotic scenes with Shuguinv.
She also saw herself being injured by Chu Yuan God and having her divine pulse plucked.
In summary, the content within could easily incite her anger within.
Yu Yao clenched her fists and took a deep breath, trying her best to calm down her emotions.
She silently warned herself that all of this had passed.
This is a trial, she cannot get angry, she cannot get angry, otherwise she will fail.
Suddenly, the scene around her changed again, and the pain and injustice in those images turned into tangible demons. They roared and howled, charging towards Yu Yao.
She was suddenly panicked, a bit afraid, and the anger in her heart was ignited completely.
"All of you, go die, go die..."
She took out the sword from the original host's body and began to wildly slash at the demonic creatures with a mad look in her eyes.
"Host, snap out of it, these are all false..."
The system sensed danger and screamed in her mind.
Yu Yao heard the system's call and hesitated slightly with her actions, but the anger in her heart could not be calmed down.
The demons still came charging at her with their fangs and claws, as if to engulf her.
She tried her best to calm down, but her emotions were like a wild horse that was difficult to control.
A sudden spark of insight flashed in her mind. She recalled what Ye Ming had said: This is a test of temper, the "anger" test.
Yu Yao took a deep breath, slowly lowered the sword in her hand, closed her eyes, and tried to shield herself from the interference of the outside world.
She silently recited a calming spell, allowing her mind to gradually become calm.
The demons saw that she was no longer attacking and became even more frenzied in their charge towards her, but she remained unfazed.
With time passing, Yu Yao's inner self grew increasingly calm.
The roaring of the demons seemed to be gradually fading away, and she seemed to be in a peaceful world.
When she opened her eyes again, the demons had disappeared, and the chaotic qi around her had become peaceful.
"Did I pass the test of anger?"
Yu Yao looked around at everything and let out a sigh of relief, with a smile of relief on her lips.
