When Mo Yan woke up again, she joyfully discovered that not only had she not become a mummy, but she had also successfully activated the Space.
The Space was filled with a faint Spiritual Energy, and Mo Yan indulged in deep breaths, her inner self thanking Buddha and all the Bodhisattvas countless times.
The presence of Spiritual Energy meant that crops could now be grown in the Space, and it was not in vain that she had lost so much blood, nearly losing her life in the process.
It was her own carelessness, after all, having forgotten that this body was malnourished and in a state of severe anemia, that she rashly used her blood to activate the Space. It was pure luck that she didn't die on the spot!
After wandering around the small Space, Mo Yan was surprised to find that the seeds she had casually placed under the Jade Table in her previous life were still there. Confirming that the seeds were intact, she was ecstatic: with the Space and the seeds, she wouldn't starve on the road as she escaped famine.
With no more worries, Mo Yan relaxed completely, caressing the Jade Table, her thoughts inevitably drifting to the past.
In her previous life, she was born into a wealthy and happy family, with grandparents, parents, and three elder brothers. As the only girl in the family, she was showered with love and affection. However, she had poor health as a child, often falling asleep and then being impossible to awaken, and doctors could not determine the cause. As she grew older, the problem became more severe; once she even slept for half a month before waking up.
Her family was deeply concerned about her condition. Eventually, her Buddha-believing grandmother found an old Monk who had been in seclusion for many years to divine her fate. The Monk said that her three souls were unstable, and she was fated to die young. To resolve this, she needed a precious object to anchor her soul, otherwise, she wouldn't live to adulthood. Even with such a heaven-defying object, it wasn't certain that she could live safely until old age.
By that time, Mo Yan was already ten years old and had her own judgment, considering the old Monk's words superstitious. However, her family didn't dare not to believe. Therefore, her grandfather took the Ancient Jade, which had been passed down for who knows how many generations, and placed it on Mo Yan.
It was not enough just to have the Ancient Jade; the old Monk also admonished the Mo Family to do good deeds. Only then could Mo Yan live peacefully and smoothly until the age of twenty-five. As for what would happen after she turned twenty-five, he couldn't see clearly.
Strangely enough, from the moment she wore the Ancient Jade, Mo Yan's problem of being unable to wake from sleep never happened again. Her family became even more convinced of the old Monk's words and even spent the majority of their income on charity every year, hoping she could grow up safely.
In her thirteenth year, due to a minor accident, Mo Yan unexpectedly activated the Ancient Jade Space, and from then on, the Ancient Jade became an inseparable part of her life.
Mo Yan didn't keep the Ancient Jade Space a secret from her family. They believed it was the key to whether she could live past the age of twenty-five, so they advised her repeatedly to keep the secret of the Space.
What she experienced later proved that the Space was indeed linked to her destiny. Her blood activated the Space, generating the most primal Spiritual Energy. Crops grown under the influence of Spiritual Energy would in turn foster Spiritual Energy to nourish the Space. Through this continual cycle, the Space's Spiritual Energy would become denser, and the crops enriched with Spiritual Energy would become more abundant, which was extremely beneficial for the body if consumed over a long time!
Every time she performed a good deed, a beautiful red pattern would appear on the Transparent Pearl, varying in thickness and length. Once the red patterns covered the entire pearl and the Space's Spiritual Energy was sufficient, the Space would automatically upgrade, not only expanding in area but also accelerating the flow of time, increasing the benefits she gained from using the Space.
As for why this happened, Mo Yan pondered for over a decade and still couldn't fully grasp it!
However, the Space was not omnipotent, and she ultimately didn't live to twenty-five.
In the month before her twenty-fifth birthday, a criminal strapped with explosives burst into a kindergarten. Passing by at the time, she couldn't ignore the hundreds of innocent little lives at stake. After quietly calling the police, she managed to temporarily appease the criminal, allowing hundreds of children to safely exit under the teachers' guidance. Unbeknownst to anyone, the criminal suddenly went mad and detonated the explosives!
