She went to the back mountain and ran quickly into the mountains.
In a dense forest overgrown with wild grass and shrubs, she sat down cross-legged and activated her superpower according to memory.
A familiar power swirled within her body, and soon burst from her palms.
But she didn't intend to stop, continuing to absorb the surrounding plant energy.
The last time she activated her superpower, she directly reached level two. This time, she aimed to reach at least level three.
Only then could she crush the Tian family under her feet.
After an unknown period, when she opened her eyes, she found that the sky had already darkened.
The trees, wild grass, and shrubs around her had all turned to ash, and her superpower had only reached the great perfection of level two.
Unwilling, she moved to another spot and continued meditating.
After destroying this patch of vegetation, her superpower reached the low-tier of level three. The sky was completely dark.
She carried her empty basket down the mountain.
The Tian family was already preparing to bar the courtyard gate for the night.
She kicked open the courtyard gate with one foot, sending Tian Liwen, who was barring it, flying into the yard.
Tian Liwen got up and was about to hit her, but she pulled and twisted, and Tian Liwen was flung out of the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion, the Tian family members all came out. Seeing Tian Jing, whom they hadn't seen all day, they all berated her.
Tian Jing pushed aside these useless people, one by one, and walked into the main hall. She said to Grandpa Tian and Grandma Tian, "I haven't had dinner yet. Tell Tian Ping and Chen Yun to cook for me."
Grandma Tian cursed and was about to teach her a lesson, but Grandpa Tian stopped her and asked Tian Jing what she wanted.
Tian Jing said she didn't want to do anything but be the head of the Tian family.
Grandpa Tian was enraged.
Tian Jing threatened Grandpa Tian with the gold and silver buried in the backyard.
Grandpa Tian told Grandma Tian to take out the grain and asked Tian Ping and Chen Yun to cook.
Tian Jing told Grandma Tian to add two eggs for her.
Grandma Tian disagreed.
Tian Jing’s palm shattered the dining table in the main hall.
All the incessant chatter stopped, and even Grandma Tian dared not curse anymore.
Grandpa Tian's eyes gleamed. He pulled Grandma Tian into the east room and they whispered for a while.
When they came out, their attitude had changed 180 degrees. They treated Tian Jing like an ancestor.
From then on, they continued to treat Tian Jing like an ancestor.
Several years passed, and Tian Jing, whose superpower had not grown, was killed by a cup of water brought by Tian Ping.
When she opened her eyes again, Tian Jing found herself and her parents fleeing towards a base.
She ran from the zombies, thinking about what had happened in her first life.
How could she have been content with just stepping on the Tian family? How could she have been addicted to the Tian family's flattery?
After finally escaping, she led her parents away from the main group and headed towards a densely wooded area.
Her parents were very accommodating to her. Whatever she said, they would do.
This time, her superpower activated directly at level three. She wondered if it was because the trees in the apocalypse were richer in essence.
She fought zombies all the way to the base, and by the time she entered, she was already level five, the only level five expert in the base.
The base commander arranged for her family of three to live in a villa in Zone A.
All daily necessities were prioritized for her family to choose from.
He also assigned two servants to take care of her parents.
Being able to provide her parents with such a high-quality life had always been her goal.
Initially, she went on missions with other ability users from the base. However, after discovering that the zombies were no match for her, she lost interest in going on missions.
Why use a cleaver to kill a chicken?
Living with her parents in Zone A, which was like life before the apocalypse, Tian Jing gradually lost the motivation to level up.
Wasn't the current comfortable life good enough? Why bother with hard work and struggle?
Three years later, the zombies besieged the city. Tian Jing was sent to face the zombies outside the city. It was then that she realized that most zombies had already advanced to level five or six.
The psychic zombie commanding the zombie siege was at least level eight.
The ability users around her were generally level five or six, with a few at level seven.
And she was still at level five.
Just as she vowed to continue leveling up and surpass these ability users, she was pushed into the zombie horde from behind: "Go to hell."
Falling into the zombie horde, she turned and looked back. The person who pushed her was one of those two servants.
How could this be?
The ones who went out to face the zombies were all ability users. How was this servant involved?
As if to answer her, the servant casually threw out a ball of lightning.
Lightning ability?
She remembered that she had made this servant kneel outside for an entire night because she thought he wasn't careful enough in taking care of her mother. That night had been filled with thunder, lightning, and heavy rain.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the Tian family's house, feeding pigs.
While activating her superpower in the back mountains, she recalled her two rebirths and was very sure that her current location was the past life dream of the Yin-Yang fish eye.
However, why hadn't she returned after experiencing her two past lives, like she had with the destruction of the black and white tombs?
This must have something to do with her inability to recall how she entered.
This time, when she activated her superpower, she directly reached level three. She warned herself that she must not fall into complacency due to temptations.
But it only prolonged her life by two years.
She opened her eyes again in the apocalypse. This time, her superpower activated at level three.
She again admonished herself to cultivate diligently and reach the highest level.
However, no matter how determined her efforts, she still lost herself in peace and tranquility…
She didn't know how many times she had cycled through these two past lives.
The next time she activated her superpower, she was directly level seven.
The unskillful level seven, without any skills, made something flash in her mind.
This time, she suddenly stopped being engrossed in the Tian family's flattery and began to seriously ponder skills.
As she pondered, she suddenly realized something was wrong. Why was she pondering destructive skills?
This was a peaceful world. What did she need destructive skills for?
Her heart pounding, Tian Jing returned to the Tian family and never went to the back mountain again.
Soon after, she died again at the hands of Tian Ping.
The next time she ran from the zombies, she wondered what poison was in that bowl of water from Tian Ping that even a level seven person like her couldn't avoid.
Then, she smiled again. This was just a dream. If the dream wanted her dead, she would die even at level nine.
After activating her superpower in a forest, she almost screamed. Level nine? Comprehending destructive skills directly?
Who was this forcing her to destroy?
Suppressing her racing heart and unease, she sat still, emptying her mind and all thoughts. She just sat there, idly daydreaming.
Even when her parents, who were keeping watch for her, urged her to hurry, and even when her parents were torn apart by the surrounding zombies, she still sat motionless.
She sat and sat, as if she would sit until the end of time.
Suddenly, a wisp of gray mist appeared in her mind.
'Tian Jing, your parents are dead.'
'Tian Jing, Zeng Jingrong is dead, I killed him.'
'Tian Jing, your husband and children are all dead. They were dismembered by the people you captured, because they couldn't find you.'
Tian Jing still didn't move.
The gray mist became angry and transformed into countless gray needles, flying in all directions.
The next second, each needle was stuck by a different substance.
The needles tried hard to gather together, but found it futile.
The needles were enraged. They rolled in place, trying to shake off the sticky substance, but it was still in vain.
After the needles gave up struggling, they were all dragged to a place.
The space here was vast, and the ceiling was bright, with only a net-like structure blocking the top.
One needle was dragged to the top and sent out through the mesh of the net.
The remaining needles struggled again.
But they were still no match for being sent out through the mesh.
After the last needle was sent out, the substance transformed into a film and adhered beneath the net.
After scanning her mind and finding no trace of gray mist, Tian Jing finally gathered back the countless thoughts she had let fly away from all directions.
She should be able to go back now, right?
Tian Jing slowly opened her eyes.
"Tiantian?"
Zeng Jingrong, his chest covered in bloodstains, looked at the suddenly appearing Tian Jing with surprise: "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Tian Jing, who had been sitting on the fish eye, stood up and walked to the center of the Yin-Yang fish. She looked up at the azure sky above the labyrinth.
Where were the rules?
