"Why are you tormenting yourself like this? Defying the Supreme God will not end well. Haven't you learned your lesson after suffering so much these past few days?" The immortal attendant advised her as usual after treating Bai Ling's wounds.

Bai Ling covered her ears, too exhausted and fed up to curse anymore. The entire Mount Youfu was Supreme God Xuan Cang's territory. The people here only said a few types of things - those who earnestly persuaded her to compromise, those who mocked her for overestimating herself, those who were jealous and resentful that she didn't know what was good for her, and that crazy Supreme God Xuan Cang - a ten-thousand-year-old green-haired turtle leading his group of turtle grandsons.

Indeed, Bai Ling had suffered a lot, but the more she endured, the more she despised Supreme God Xuan Cang. Expecting her to obediently listen to him? Impossible, now or ever.

The attendant sighed to herself as she took the medicine and left. Although she felt a little sorry for Bai Ling, she still dutifully locked the room on her way out, lest Bai Ling try to escape again in desperation.

Bai Ling sat up with effort and took out a zither from her spirit pouch. This phoenix zither belonged to Lu Linsheng. He had left it with her that time when they were locked up.

After spacing out for a while, Bai Ling tried to hold the zither and pluck a few notes. She had no talent for musical instruments. After randomly plucking for a bit, she quickly lost interest and just stared at the zither with reddening eyes.

No one would play it for her anymore.

Bai Ling let go and the phoenix zither fell to the side as she closed her eyes weakly.

Supreme God Xuan Cang was resting with his eyes closed, pondering if he should be harsher. Bai Ling's resilience was unexpected. Her harmless but disgusting acts of defiance also annoyed him.

Having made up his mind, just as Xuan Cang was about to order someone to bring Bai Ling, a panel suddenly popped up in front of him. Due to his stubbornness, the panel hadn't appeared for a long time. Now it suddenly popped up with a glaring red alert.

- "Problem detected in the main space! Warning! Main space severely damaged!"

Hearing that the main space was damaged, Xuan Cang's expression changed. "What's going on?"

- "Multiple worlds are in chaos simultaneously. Data is lagging. Just received the synchronized update. The situation is extremely serious. Please check the main space."

The main space was the world the inner persona relied on to survive. It was also connected to his countless small worlds and was extremely important. Supreme God Xuan Cang could no longer be bothered with matters in this small world. He directly left his body and returned to the main space.

In the originally boundless void of the main space, it was as if countless storms were raging. The world was visibly shrinking and collapsing. Seeing this, Xuan Cang was furious. "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

The system rapidly expanded, covering an area of several square meters, with countless labels like "Jiachen", "Yiwu" and so on.

- "When you descended into this Supreme God Xuan Cang persona's world, over a hundred worlds simultaneously deviated. The data experienced an unknown delay and failed to reach you in time. Now most of those worlds have completely deviated. You've lost the chance to log into those small worlds again, and also lost the fortune energy from those worlds at once, causing the main space to become unstable."

On that panel, more than half of the originally black text had turned red, indicating these small worlds were no longer under his control.

"Rewind. I want to see what happened to those worlds," Xuan Cang said, suppressing his rage.

- "Yes, please prepare yourself."

Xuan Cang closed his eyes as scene after scene appeared in his mind. Those worlds that originally belonged to him all had the same problem.

The female leads seemed to have changed into different people. They no longer fell in love with his male lead personas as the plot was originally meant to develop. And his personas all originated from derivatives of the main persona, so they carried the same domineering and self-centered traits.

Although they didn't know the plot of the world like the main persona did, their personalities caused huge friction between them and those female leads. The final outcomes were very tragic - either his personas killed those deviant female leads, or the female leads killed his personas.

With the former ending, it was equivalent to him directly severing his connection with those worlds. Such actions brought certain side effects. For example, the data delay was very likely caused by his personas killing too many female leads, affecting the system's operation. The latter ending, although without side effects, also made him lose those worlds. When a persona was killed, it was as if he himself had died as well. This made him feel exceptionally irritated.

After watching the final footage left by those worlds, a hint of fear gradually appeared in Xuan Cang's angry expression.

The reason he could be so arrogant was because he had the backing of these vast numbers of small worlds. To him, losing one world, two worlds, or even a dozen worlds was nothing. But losing over a hundred at once, with the situation likely to get worse and worse, he could no longer be indifferent.

What scared him the most was that he still hadn't figured out where these problems came from. He didn't know who caused these deviations and had no way to deal with them.

He couldn't stop the rapid loss of these worlds.

If one day all these worlds were lost, would he as a "god" still have any meaning? What would become of this main space by then? What would become of him?

"Who is it?! There must be something manipulating all this behind the scenes. System! Find it for me!" He could barely control his emotions.

However, the system still displayed a line of text unhurriedly - "Ding - The system failed to locate the source of the deviation."

"If you can't find it, keep looking!"

- "Failure. Unable to locate the source of the deviation."

- "Failure. Unable to locate the source of the deviation."

...

After the inner persona left the body of the outer persona and returned to the main space, Supreme God Xuan Cang, who was resting in the temple, suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt a little strange, as if he had suddenly lost some odd thoughts. Recalling his actions during this period, forcing an unremarkable white dragon girl to be his disciple and wanting to conquer her???

He had the memories of this time, but no matter what, he couldn't understand why his past self did these things. Searching through his memories about Bai Ling, he frowned in disgust.

There was nothing redeemable about her. She had repeatedly offended him and had considerable ties to an evil Demon entity. It would be justifiable to kill her directly. Why bother going through the trouble of specially disciplining her?

He suspiciously examined his own divine soul within his spiritual palace. There were no abnormalities, no traces of being controlled by someone else. Then how could he have done these unimaginable things?

While the Supreme God Xuan Cang was completely baffled, an immortal servant came to report: "God, the Dragon Girl's injuries are severe. She has been refusing to take her medicine properly and her condition has taken a turn for the worse. She has now fallen into a coma. Does the God wish to take a look?"

The Supreme God Xuan Cang said with annoyance: "I don't care whether she lives or dies. If she dies, order someone to throw the corpse out of Mount Youfu."

He had no intention of sparing Bai Ling's life in the first place. His recent abnormalities seemed to be related to Bai Ling. Back then, the divination had also predicted that he had a destined calamity tied to Bai Ling. With such coincidences, the Supreme God Xuan Cang naturally wanted to dispose of Bai Ling.

The immortal servant couldn't believe it and raised her head to look at the Supreme God Xuan Cang. The God's regard for Bai Ling was well-known throughout Mount Youfu. He had previously gone to great lengths to recruit her, and now he had specially captured her for daily teachings. Yet suddenly letting go and not caring seemed very strange no matter how one looked at it.

"Leave."

The immortal servant quickly lowered her head and hurriedly left. As soon as she went out, the news about Bai Ling finally losing the Supreme God Xuan Cang's favor spread throughout Mount Youfu.

When Immortal Youshui heard this rumor, she couldn't believe it at first. She specially went to see the Supreme God Xuan Cang in the divine hall before believing that the God had truly changed his nature. No, perhaps this was the heartless and emotionless God she knew.

Without the Supreme God Xuan Cang's regard, Immortal Youshui also didn't take Bai Ling seriously. Now if she wanted to deal with Bai Ling, it would just take a word.

"Severely injured? Since she's about to die anyway, then directly throw her out of Mount Youfu according to the God's wishes." Immortal Youshui instructed with a meaningful smile, "The Supreme God now despises her very much and doesn't want to see her again. Do you understand what I mean?"

Her disciple was also a smart person and quickly smiled: "This disciple understands. I will handle this matter well. I heard that the Demon Dragon has been occupying the East Sea ever since being beaten back by the God some time ago. Why not send this last member of the White Dragon Clan over there? When the time comes and she is eaten by the Demon Dragon, if the Supreme God asks in the future, it will have nothing to do with us."

Immortal Youshui nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Do as you said. Go."

Bai Ling never imagined that after struggling on the verge of life and death, unable to escape Mount Youfu, an opportunity would suddenly arrive. She had previously injured herself trying to escape and didn't properly recuperate.

Later, in order to defy the Supreme God Xuan Cang, she was ruthlessly tortured by him several times. Finally unable to endure, she weakly lay on the bed, unable to get up.

When an unfamiliar disciple came, she thought the other party was going to take her to see the Supreme God Xuan Cang. Who knew that person removed the locks from her hands and feet, carried her on his back, and directly left Mount Youfu.

"Who are you? Where are you taking me?" Bai Ling looked at the white clouds passing by and her acrophobia acted up again. She struggled and managed to ask the question.

The Mount Youfu disciple carrying her probably saw that she was about to die and kindly answered her: "The Supreme God doesn't want to see you and told us to dispose of you."

Bai Ling: "...I thank his whole family!"

The disciple carrying her shook his head and flew to the East Sea. There was an area of the East Sea that was particularly quiet, which was where that Demon Dragon resided. He was a bit afraid of that Demon Dragon and didn't dare to get too close, fearing that he would be implicated. So seeing that they had arrived, he hurriedly threw Bai Ling down.

He lingered for a moment, watching Bai Ling slowly sink into the sea without any awareness. At the same time, a layer of waves suddenly surged on the sea surface, and a heavy dragon's roar was transmitted from the seabed to the surface.

That Demon Dragon had come. How did it arrive so quickly? This disciple didn't dare to stay any longer and flew away rapidly. Before leaving, he glanced back and got a huge fright.

He saw the huge shadow of the Demon Dragon reflected on the sea surface. Its figure was terrifyingly large and extremely close to him. A flick of its tail could knock him down from the sky. However, that Demon Dragon paid him no heed and only coiled its dragon body into a circle, swimming slowly.

The disciple fled a good distance before stopping, still feeling lingering fear. He suddenly thought that the position where the Demon Dragon had coiled up just now was exactly where he had thrown Bai Ling. It seemed that Lady Bai Ling had already been swallowed by the Demon Dragon.

Of course, he couldn't imagine that Bai Ling had not been devoured.

Not only that, at this moment, that crazed Demon Dragon was carefully sniffing her body and then encircled her entirely within its body. Because Bai Ling was in human form, she was just a small white figure. The Demon Dragon had a gigantic dragon form, so Bai Ling, wrapped in the middle, was almost lying in a small circular gap.

When she fell into the water, she had already lost consciousness. She vaguely woke up for a moment in the water but due to her severe injuries, her mind was a bit sluggish. She didn't realize what the black walls beside her were.

Following her instincts, she transformed into her dragon form in the water. When the dragon clan was injured, taking dragon form was best for recovering from injuries.

After turning into a white rope, Bai Ling fainted again. The huge black Demon Dragon sensed that the person its body was coiled around had turned into a rope and quickly stretched out its body, swimming a circle around that little white dragon.

The little white dragon was really too small. Compared to the Demon Dragon's body, it was like a chopstick next to an arm. The water flow from the Demon Dragon's swimming tossed the little white dragon about.

Originally, the Demon Dragon's eyes were golden when in a normal state and black when in a state of chaos. But at this time, the Demon Dragon's eyes were blood-red. It gently nudged that soft little white dragon with its nose and simply draped her over its snout, carrying her as it swam toward another sea area.

Author's Note:

Everyone was quite agitated in the comments yesterday. Could it be that you haven't read early romance novels? They all have this kind of plot. The male lead is a prince, emperor, young master, big shot or some other high-ranking and powerful character.

Then he despises and tortures the female lead in various ways until later when he loves her to the point of life and death, engaging in forced love... Even now when I think about it, I still can't figure out why the female leads would have a happy ending with these male leads in the end.
