With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Jiang Zhiyu was awakened by a burning, dry thirst in her throat.

She struggled to open her eyes.

The first thing I saw was a thick layer of sand on my eyelashes. I blinked twice before my vision cleared, and half of my body was already buried in the salt crust. If I had waited any longer, I probably would have been buried alive.

She tried to move her mouth, and her lips split open, a small drop of blood seeping out, which immediately scabbed over in the scorching air, leaving her face burning with pain.

Jiang Zhiyu raised her hand and touched her face, feeling a layer of sunburnt skin peeling off in small pieces, and when she rubbed it with her fingertips, she felt patches of dry scabs.

Since she transmigrated, she has never suffered so much.

Her head was still buzzing, and she couldn't remember what had happened for a moment. She turned her head blankly and looked ahead. The deep pit in front of her suddenly brought her memory back.

That meteorite, space!

Jiang Zhiyu's heart tightened, and disregarding the pain, she immediately darted into the space and entered.

She relaxed completely, and the space stopped trembling.

Jiang Zhiyu stood there stunned for a long time before she remembered to call out "Seventeen" in her mind.

With a buzzing sound.

A small, silver-gray figure flew over from the direction of the quiet courtyard and stopped in front of her. Seventeen flapped its little wings rapidly and spoke with heartache.

"Host! What happened to you? What happened to you?"

Jiang Zhiyu casually grabbed a mirror from her spatial storage and looked at herself.

The person in the mirror had a red, peeling face with skin that rolled up and turned outwards, patchy red and black. The skin on his arms was also rolled up, making him look like a refugee who had just walked out of Tibet.

Jiang Zhiyu's lips twitched.

"Is this still me?"

Seventeen was so anxious that he circled around her.

"Host, you should drink some spiritual spring water to recover first! Then go soak in it! Otherwise, the way you are is really a bit scary! If your partner or your parents saw you like this, they would be heartbroken."

Jiang Zhiyu didn't bother arguing with it and turned to walk towards the spiritual spring.

She stopped abruptly after rounding the hillside.

Is it still her sacred spring?

That once clear and bright spring can no longer be called a spring; a pool of azure water quietly spreads out in the mountain valley, with a thin layer of water vapor rising from its surface.

Jiang Zhiyu subconsciously turned to look at Seventeen.

"What's going on?"

Seventeen snorted.

"It was that rock yesterday that almost killed us both. Host, don't dwell on it! Let's soak in the lake first, then swim downstream. The water's shallower there, and Hu Batian and the others are already drinking to their hearts' content. Even the wild rabbits and deer from the mountains have come down to steal some of the spiritual spring water."

Jiang Zhiyu glanced at the lake of clear water and thought, "Fine, I'll drink it. I won't be short of a sip or two now."

She walked to the most secluded spot by the lake, took off her clothes, and slowly immersed herself in the water.

As the cool lake water washed over my skin, the burning sensation gradually subsided. The wound went from a fiery burning pain to a feeling of swelling and itching. After a while, the skin peeled off layer by layer, revealing the newly grown tender skin underneath.

In less than half an hour, Jiang Zhiyu had returned to her previous radiant appearance.

She casually pulled out a clean set of clothes and put them on before she had the mind to look around her space.

The exquisite courtyard remains the same, with every blade of grass and every tree unchanged, except that the spring has become a lake.

Jiang Zhiyu paused for a moment, then a thought suddenly popped into her head.

"Will I have to drink my own bathwater from now on?"

Seventeen was laughing so hard his wings were shaking.

"Host, look over there. The lake water is constantly overflowing, flowing into the river in the space through the tributaries, and then being washed downstream to clean it up."

"Besides, there's an even bigger surprise waiting for you!"

Jiang Zhiyu's curiosity was piqued.

She casually grabbed a piece of bread from her spatial storage and started eating it.

"Come on, take me to see it."

Following Seventeen, they teleported all the way.

An endless expanse of blue suddenly rushed into Jiang Zhiyu's eyes, and the sea breeze rushed up.

Carrying the salty, moist scent of the sea, the waves pushed one layer after another towards the shore.

Even the usually composed Jiang Zhiyu was no longer calm; she stood there, stunned, on the shore.

"Seventeen...this is...the sea?"

Seventeen was incredibly proud.

"Of course! It was worth the nearly exhausting ordeal! When this meteorite fell from the sky, it severed the earth's veins and absorbed their energy. The reason this Gobi Desert is becoming increasingly barren, with animals dying out, extreme climate, and disordered magnetic fields is all because of this one rock."

Jiang Zhiyu frowned.

"If I take it, will it affect the ley lines outside?"

Seventeen shook his head.

"Don't worry, host. The earth's energy has been completely drained by it. Even if you don't take it in, the earth's energy here won't recover. Even if there's a sliver of life trying to recover, it will be sucked away again. By taking it into your space, you're actually giving this land a chance to survive. In the current situation, no one can deal with it. Taking it in is a great act of merit for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu finally felt a sense of relief.

"Is it any different from the one we got in our basement in America?"

Seventeen crossed her two little hands.

"There's a big difference. Go to the host; that piece is a high-energy mineral, a bit smaller in size, but its energy is just as good."

"This one is different; it absorbed the energy of such a large area of ​​ley lines. Adding its own energy, you can imagine how powerful it is..."

"Therefore, it only evolved into a sea when it was put into space. Besides, this entire desert is the place where ancient myths were passed down. There are many things hidden beneath it. This stone can only be considered an intruder. Otherwise, it wouldn't have caused the earth's veins to be severed and all life to be lost."

When Jiang Zhiyu heard "the place where ancient myths are passed down", a glint flashed in her eyes.

She remained silent, turning her head to glance at the sea.

"What about the stone?"

"It was absorbed by the space! Naturally, it became this sea before us."

"Host, your little world will soon be complete. The spiritual energy within is incredibly abundant; living here long-term can prolong your life."

Jiang Zhiyu was too lazy to pay attention to its smugness.

After thinking for a moment, he pulled out a speedboat from the depths of the space; it was an old item he had prepared back in the apocalypse.

She teleported to the sea, put the speedboat into the water, and used her mental energy to probe down the bottom of the boat.

Further down, unable to reach the bottom, Jiang Zhiyu paused in surprise.

Seventeen's voice drifted over lazily.

"Host, you don't need to try."

"This sea is exactly the same as the real ocean outside. This rock has stood in this Gobi Desert for countless years, absorbing far more than just a little energy. So don't doubt its authenticity."

Jiang Zhiyu withdrew her spiritual power and stood on the boat, the sea breeze blowing her stray hairs against her cheeks.

Will there be any marine life in this place in the future?

"Of course! They gradually multiplied and multiplied. The rivers and tributaries in the space eventually flow into this sea, creating an ecological cycle where everything comes to life."

Jiang Zhiyu took a deep breath.

Only then did she truly understand what Seventeen meant by "great fortune"—it was an unimaginable cheat code.

She sat on the speedboat, her feet feeling a little unsteady.

"Seventeen, such incredible luck has fallen on my head, it feels a bit unreal, and—the pressure seems to have increased too."

He nodded at seventeen.

"Host, your feeling is correct. In fact, there are some things that you cannot directly perceive, such as merit."

Jiang Zhiyu turned her head to look at it.

Seventeen-year-old Xiao stood with his hands behind his back and spoke eloquently.

"You went to other countries to steal things, and theoretically, your luck should have diminished, but you handed everything over to the country without taking a single penny for yourself."

"Besides, which of those families you've plundered isn't entangled with us in some way? Go back decades, and those things were originally stolen from us."

"If you take it back, it can only be considered returning it to its rightful owner; to be even more polite, it's called compensation."

"You've walked this path without a trace of impurity on your hands. Plus, you rescued so many people during the Dacheng Mountain earthquake. Your merits are no less than your luck. With both your luck and merits rising together, this large meteorite was created for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu gradually felt relieved.

just.

She glanced back at the sea. Then, looking at the vast Gobi Desert beyond the boundary of space, she felt a pang of unease.

"Such huge mountains, such a vast sea."

"I'm the only one using it. There's such a vast Gobi Desert outside; countless creatures have perished because of this rock."

"The better it is here, the more..."

She didn't continue.

This time, Seventeen surprisingly didn't interrupt.

It flapped its wings gently twice, and its voice softened.

"Host, life here will slowly recover. If you don't accept this stone, things will only get worse. If you do, and the broken veins slowly heal, in thirty to fifty years, grass might even grow."

Jiang Zhiyu remained silent for a while.

He slowly exhaled.

It turns out that the premonition I had before setting off yesterday referred to this stone.

She looked around and saw a newfound tranquility in the space.

"Let's go."

Jiang Zhiyu spoke softly.

"I should leave this place. I miss him, and I miss my parents too."
