The woman who left did not notice that a divine sense had already followed her! How could Bai Tang let her go after attempting to kill her disciple?
In the middle of the night, once again in the dead of night (Bai Tang really enjoys the feeling of a moonless, windy night), two figures appeared in a high-rise apartment in Kyoto. The moonlight shone through the window onto the person lying on the bed, revealing the woman who had attacked Bai Tang and others. The woman was alert when Bai Tang and the other person suddenly appeared, but her reaction was not as quick as theirs; before she could even open her eyes, she was knocked unconscious by Bai Tang.
"Do you want to know why this woman attacked us?" Bai Tang asked Karen.
Karen raised an eyebrow: "Are you going to force a confession?"
"There's no need for that!" Bai Tang grasped Karen's left hand with his right.
Karen stiffened, trying to break free.
Bai Tang whispered, "Don't move!"
He pulled Karen's hand to cover the woman's forehead, using a soul-searching technique, and then they witnessed a dramatic story of a supporting female character reborn during an apocalypse, turning against the main character and reaching the pinnacle of life.
The woman's name was Qi Zhen, and she had two childhood friends: Liu Ling and Si Han. Childhood friendships easily evolved into romantic feelings, and the three were no exception. As they grew up, Liu Ling developed feelings for Si Han, while Si Han and Qi Zhen became a couple. Liu Ling possessed a family heirloom jade pendant. When the apocalypse struck in her previous life, Liu Ling accidentally stained the pendant with blood, causing it to recognize her as its master. This granted her access to the pendant's space and allowed her to begin Cultivation—all of which Qi Zhen later learned about occasionally. Liu Ling kept the existence of the pendant's space a secret and attributed her Cultivation to a mysterious master. After starting her Cultivation, Liu Ling became increasingly powerful and gained more influence. Compared to Qi Zhen, who had no abilities, the difference was significant. Si Han also lacked abilities but learned Cultivation from Liu Ling. Qi Zhen wanted to start Cultivation, but Liu Ling rejected her, claiming she had no spiritual root. As Liu Ling and Si Han grew closer through their shared experiences in Cultivation, Qi Zhen, as the legitimate girlfriend, found herself spending less time with Si Han and having fewer topics to discuss with him. Eventually, Si Han proposed breaking up with Qi Zhen to be with Liu Ling. Everyone except Qi Zhen welcomed this outcome. Whether it was Liu Ling and Si Han's teammates or those they saved or lived around them, they all believed that Qi Zhen was too ordinary without abilities to match up with powerful Si Han, while he and Liu Ling were a perfect match. As an ordinary person without Si Han's protection, Qi Zhen's chances of survival were slim—without Bai Tang, mechs, or energy guns in her previous life, survival was incredibly difficult—even without any underhanded tactics against her; Qi Zhen still died an unjust death!
Qi Zhen was reborn one month before the apocalypse began. The first thing she did upon waking was to kick Si Han out as her boyfriend; the second thing was to steal Liu Ling's jade pendant and activate its space. She then discovered that not only could the pendant store items but it also allowed her to grow vegetables and grains. Most importantly, it contained cultivation techniques left by its original owner and treasures for testing spiritual roots—and she actually had a spiritual root! This meant that Liu Ling had deceived her; indeed, in order to take away Si Han, she disregarded their childhood bond. After venting her anger, Qi Zhen immediately began cultivating. The space contained various pills left by the original owner that could aid in cultivation; with their help, Qi Zhen spent three hours drawing energy into her body and became a first-level Qi Refining cultivator. With newfound strength, Qi Zhen began preparing for the impending apocalypse. She sold the house left by her parents—Qi Zhen's parents were colleagues of Liu Ling and Si Han's parents; they all became orphans after a plane crash during a business trip—using all the money to buy various supplies and seeds to fill her space so that she would never have to worry about food again!
One day before the apocalypse struck, Qi Zhen left home without notifying Si Han or Liu Ling. Although her death in her previous life was related to these two people, they did not directly harm her; thus, Qi Zhen did not take action against them. She anticipated that without the pendant's space, both Si Han and Liu Ling would effectively lose their means of self-protection; even if they survived, their lives would be far worse than in their previous lives. She considered this an indirect revenge!
With knowledge from her past life, second-level Qi Refining skills, and access to the pendant's space, Qi Zhen thrived during the apocalypse. Later on, she gathered a group of people to establish a base. Outside the base were formations set up by Qi Zhen—though she couldn't create powerful formations due to insufficient strength to fend off zombies, she could deter some lower-level mutated beasts and aggressive mutated plants—inside were continuous supplies of food and water from Qi Zhen's pendant space; this base could be considered a paradise amidst the apocalypse. Qi Zhen had reason to believe that if things continued this way, her base would become the only haven in the apocalypse, attracting more people seeking refuge there. Sooner or later, her base would replace Beijing Base and several large bases to become the largest base in Huaguo (China), making her one of the most influential figures in Huaguo.
It can be seen that after her rebirth, Qi Zhen has chosen the path of a strong woman, believing that she will eventually stand at the top of this world. However, just when Qi Zhen was wholeheartedly planning to achieve great things, a piece of news stunned her: the Kyoto Base has already reclaimed Kyoto. In battle, there appeared invincible mechas and energy guns capable of continuously firing to kill three-tiered zombies! Moreover, the Kyoto Base has developed Antidote Powder, which has a four-layer probability of neutralizing the zombie virus! Now, aside from food, Qi Zhen has lost all her advantages! What worries her the most is that cultivators have emerged in the capital city, and the cultivation techniques have been made public; anyone with spiritual roots can cultivate!
Qi Zhen was terrified and confused. In her previous life, there were no high-tech mecha energy guns or any cultivators she had heard of. Why is there such a significant difference in this life? Shouldn't she have caused such a massive butterfly effect? Was she reborn into another parallel space, or did someone else also reincarnate? Qi Zhen leaned towards the idea of another time and space; after all, such advanced weapons like mechas and energy guns could not be produced in the world before her rebirth!
With the advantages of her base gone, it was only a matter of time before she would be swallowed by the Kyoto Base! How could Qi Zhen accept this? Therefore, she sneaked into the Beijing Base to gather information, hoping to lure the researchers who manufactured mechas and energy guns to her base. Unfortunately, after more than a month at the Beijing Base, Qi Zhen had not obtained any useful information. She attempted to sneak into the research institute but failed. The security at the institute was extremely tight, and all the guards were quite powerful. Qi Zhen even encountered many cultivators whose strength was only one or two levels below hers; they could catch up to her at any moment—most of the early cultivators were soldiers from the army and colleagues from Tian Yuan; they were all determined individuals with excellent character, so their progress in cultivation naturally surpassed Qi Zhen's. Feeling anxious, angry, and jealous, Qi Zhen thought she was the favored protagonist who had been granted rebirth, given space for cultivation, and allowed to become a respected leader of many bases. Why should those people also be able to cultivate like her? Thus, Qi Zhen turned dark!
Today, Qi Zhen went to the market to relax and saw Yi Qian shopping with Bai Tang. Although she couldn't discern Yi Qian's realm, she knew he was a cultivator. The pent-up frustration within her exploded completely as she released her best magical treasures from her space to attack Yi Qian and his companions. Unfortunately, their strength was too great; not only were her treasures subdued by others, but they also erased her consciousness attached to them. Qi Zhen was quite alert; sensing something was wrong, she hid into her jade pendant space. She felt confident about this space, and indeed it worked—Yi Qian and Karen did not discover it or her. After Yi Qian and his companions left, Qi Zhen finally felt fear; she had provoked someone stronger than herself! She wanted to leave Beijing Base immediately but found it too late; Beijing Base was under lockdown. Qi Zhen had no choice but to rest for one night before escaping back to her base on the second day. This delay allowed Bai Tang to find someone!
Bai Tang withdrew his hand and asked Karen: "How do you plan to deal with her?"
"Kill her!" Karen said coldly; according to his principles, he believed in being ruthless towards enemies like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves.
"That's unnecessary! Her attack doesn't harm us anyway! This child is ambitious but hasn't done anything harmful; instead, she's protected many ordinary people. Well, she has come this far thanks to this jade pendant; it's what she values most. I'll take this jade pendant as punishment for her!" After saying that, Bai Tang pointed his finger, causing the tattoo on Qi Zhen's chest to materialize into a ginkgo leaf-shaped jade pendant that floated up. Bai Tang reached out to grab the pendant, sending a massive consciousness into it that forced out a drop of Qi Zhen's blood!
In her unconscious state, Qi Zhen trembled and then fell back into deep sleep without realizing that she had lost her most important possession!
Bai Tang's consciousness wandered inside the space and discovered that it could actually cultivate land and contained a spring of spiritual water; he was overjoyed.
"Ding! Main quest: Integrate Ginkgo Space into the main world. Reward: 500,000 experience points, 10,000 prestige points, all skills upgraded by one level."
What generous rewards! Bai Tang was stunned by the system's generosity! But what does it mean to integrate Ginkgo Space into the main world? How does one do that? Bai Tang had no concept of it and quickly clicked on the task description below on the system panel:
Integrating Ginkgo Space into the main world means allowing Bai Tang to detach the space from its confining carrier—the jade pendant—so that it can materialize in this world. What Bai Tang needs to do is find an uninhabited place for Ginkgo Space to occupy space and realize that Ginkgo Space requires energy to appear in this world; this energy comes from spirit stones and is in high demand. None of the four worlds have spirit stones available; however, they can be found in game markets. To obtain spirit stones, Bai Tang must have a large amount of gold! Therefore, in order to complete this task, she must work harder than ever to earn money!
