Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse

Another space, he had only read about such in fantasy novels he sneaked a peek at; he never imagined, oh never imagined, that he could now see it with his own eyes.

“Su Jin, this leaf is too powerful,” Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly, cutting a long slit on his middle finger. As the blood dripped onto the Jade slip, and with the sound of Lin Xiuyuan speaking, he vanished in an instant.

…

“Xiao Jin, this this this…” Lin Yunguo stammered, terrified. He had only seen Sun Wukong disappear like this in Journey to the West and had never imagined he could witness, even experience, it himself one day.

“Xiao Jin, are we all going to be like this next?” Lin Cheng was also shocked.

“Grandpa, it’s okay, only our family is inside the space, it’s very safe,” Su Jin comforted.

The family calmed down. Su Jin seemed to have opened a new door in front of them, leaving only full anticipation after the initial surprise.

Therefore, everyone did as Su Jin had instructed, pricked their fingers, and disappeared from the living room.

Later, Su Jin put away the Jade slip and then entered the space.

The family was stunned by the scene before them. Was this a place where fairies lived? Why was it such a beautiful sight?

At this point, the space had transformed into a paradise, with good farmland, blossoming fruit trees, and a babbling brook that gleamed faintly in the distance. Due to the abundant spiritual power, various flora thrived in the space. Not far away, there was even an ancient-looking residence.

A gold-plated plaque hanging above the residence read “Lu Residence.”

“My heavens, dear, we’ve actually entered another space,” Lin Tianhui exclaimed in amazement. It was simply marvelous.

“Yes, sister, I can’t believe this is real,” Lin Tianzhen said, holding Mao Qiqi’s hand, standing beside a stone stele inscribed with “Wood Spirit Space.”

Lu Guanhai looked majestic as he led Nie Qing around for a tour, prompting Su Xiangzhe, Lin Cheng, and Mao Zhihang to follow along.

Su Jin and others followed suit, taking the opportunity to explain the source of this space, its discovery, and its wonderful features to everyone.

Nie Qing was so excited he was babbling incoherently. Such a magic treasure, even in the era of cultivation, would definitely be a top-tier magic treasure. This was an opportunity left by Lu Hao’s ancestors for their descendants!

The family had calmed down from their initial shock and delight, and Su Jin then took them to visit the orchards, farmland, chicken coop, and livestock area.

“Su Jin, I finally understand why you wanted to buy seeds back then; you intended to farm!” Lin Xiuyuan exclaimed, though he noted that the crops grew incredibly fast.

Su Jin nodded and then led everyone to the Lu Residence. The rooms at the front of Lu Residence had already been categorized by Su Jin, sequentially filled with weapons, clothes, machinery, grains, and various supplies.

Everyone was thrilled to discover that the supplies they had collected and stored in the warehouse, which had disappeared, were all here!

How wonderful, nothing was lost!

“Xiao Jin, you didn’t throw away the furniture we bought for you, it’s all here”, Lin Tianhui was overjoyed, proud of her daughter.

“Mom, I told you not to worry. With this space, I won’t throw things away randomly,” Su Jin said with a smile.

“Xiao Jin, this space, it belongs to Lu Hao’s family, right?” Huang Yunxiang guessed after she had seen the “Lu Residence” plaque.

“Yes, aunt, this Wood Spirit Space is an ancestral object of Lu Hao’s family. It was just lost over time, and I only found it when I was on a business trip,”

“Little sister, you can’t put it that way. The space was discovered by Xiao Jin. If Xiao Jin hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have known that our ancestors had such a treasure,” Lu Guanhai hurried to explain, fearing that the family who has finally entered might have some misunderstandings.

“This space suddenly appeared; there must have been some trigger,” Nie Qing thought for a moment and then added, “Just like the signs of great chaos in the world, and the person who unlocked this trigger is you, girl.”

“Uncle Nie, maybe that’s right. I brought everyone here in advance because I wanted to hear everyone’s opinions. What do you think we should do with this space if the apocalypse arrives?”

Su Jin threw the toughest question at the family. It wasn’t that she didn’t know what to do, but she wanted to know what the family thought.

“Xiao Jin, I think we can’t depend too much on this space,” Su Xiangzhe, who was first to speak, said. Although the space was excellent, it also had many unstable factors. Being from a military background, he did not want to gamble the lives of the family here.

“I agree. As the saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. If we stay here and hide, it might be very safe, but if something unexpected happens, none of us will be able to save the others,” Mao Zhihang said.

“Yes, Xiao Jin, what if this space disappears one day? Didn’t you say that it had been lost in the Lu family for many years?” Huang Yunxiang still felt that such a fantastical thing was a bit unreliable. The most reliable thing was to depend on themselves.

“That’s also not impossible,” Nie Qing analyzed: “When we just came in here, I noticed that this space contained a lot of spiritual power, but although the spiritual power is abundant, when I tried to sense it, I couldn’t find its source.”

“Uncle Nie, are you saying the spiritual power here is limited?” Su Jin felt that it was very likely.

“Ah? So, as you’re saying, when the spiritual power in this space is used up, it will disappear again?” Lu Guanhai anxiously asked. He really liked it here and had plans to come here often.

“Exactly, but it’s not completely without solution,” Nie Qing stroked his chin, somewhat missing his beard from before.

“What’s the solution then? Tell us quickly,” urged Lu Guanhai.

“Girl, do you still remember that strange deer we encountered?” Nie Qing referred to the zombie deer they had hit on their way to Foggy Village.

“Are you talking about the beast core in its head?” Su Jin’s eyes brightened. How could she have forgotten that! The crystal core contained energy, and so did the beast core, and last time Uncle Nie had mentioned that the energy in beast cores was spiritual power!

Nie Qing nodded with a smile. The little girl was indeed smart.

“Uncle Nie, do you still have that beast core?” Su Jin was somewhat excited. If that was the case, maybe they could replenish the spiritual power of the space.

“I’ve kept it, but I can’t bring it into this space,”

Nie Qing had already discovered that although he could enter this space, the storage bag he carried was blocked by the space and did not end up outside; instead, it disappeared when he came in. He knew this was a restriction of the space. In the era of cultivation, only the owner of the space could deposit and retrieve items.

“Right, Su Jin, my phone also disappeared from my pocket,” Lin Xiuyuan initially thought he had left his phone outside, but now he realized that it was still on him, but he just couldn’t take it out.

So Su Jin, Nie Qing, and Lin Xiuyuan had to leave the space to experiment. They indeed found that after stepping out, they could use their storage bags and phones normally.

Nie Qing took out the beast core and handed it to Su Jin, then the three re-entered the space.

The moment the beast core entered the space, it emitted a warm feeling. Holding the beast core in front of her, Su Jin saw it melting like an ice cube until it completely disappeared.

“I guess I was right,” Nie Qing watched as the spiritual power merged into the air above, admiring. Others could only see the disappearance of the beast core, but Nie Qing could see the process of it being absorbed. Whoever created this space was definitely a powerful being.

Nie Qing explained to everyone what he had just witnessed. It seemed this space was indeed born out of chaotic times.
