28 Mother

The space was still the same as before, filled with fresh spiritual influence. Even though the vast, black soil was not planted with any trees or flowers; it was still bubbling with vitality.

However, He Xi's attention was no longer on the soil or the spiritual fountain.

When the space alarm rang and she went out of the space, she sort of saw that the first door of the Meru Palace in the middle was open.

One needed to know that she had this space for more than ten years and had circled around the Meru Palace at least a thousand times. Freezing it, burning it, and exploding it… she had tried all sorts of ways she could come up with, but she had never managed to open any door or even leave a tiny mark on them.

Hurriedly, He Xi walked to the Meru Palace. As expected, she surprisingly found one of the doors agape; and she could see golden light shining behind the door.

The first door of the Meru Palace was really open!

He Xi was elated beyond words and also jumped around nervously.

Once she walked into the room, a bell rang in He Xi's mind; and a strange message was shown for some reason.

[The Meru Palace has been activated, and the first door to Meru Palace Heaven is opened. It comes with nine secluded spiritual fountains and an ancient music spiritual field.]

[The nine secluded fountains can replenish your spiritual influence, remold oneself, and provide top-quality solvent and accelerator.]

[The ancient music spiritual field can shorten the time needed for plants to grow and can plant all sorts of spiritual plants without water.]

It was true, the space was upgraded. As for the black soil outside the temple, it was really useful for planting spiritual plants. However, she did not know what the solvent and accelerator in the nine secluded spiritual fountains meant.

The words in her brain slowly faded away. A smile formed on He Xi's face, but very quickly, her attention was taken away by a giant egg in the middle of the room.

Yes, in the middle of the first room in the Meru Palace, there was a gigantic egg thing hanging in the air.

The egg exuded a light golden luster. Through the thin shell, one could vaguely see that there was a curled-up spiritual being quietly floating in it.

The first thing He Xi thought of when she saw the gigantic egg was the ultrasound pictures of their babies that pregnant women would have in her previous life. She had a strong gut feeling that the being inside the egg was alive.

However, inside the first door of the Meru Palace Heaven, there was nothing but a gigantic, unknown egg. This was too unexpected.

He Xi lightened her footsteps and slowly inched towards the gigantic egg. Gradually, she smelled a light bread-making fragrance.

Suddenly, a strange feeling of familiarity—which she had never experienced before—gushed in her heart as if the being inside this egg was related to her by blood. She could even hear the small being's heartbeat.

As if she saw a friend, He Xi reached out her hand lightly and caressed the smooth surface of the egg.

"Mother… Mother…"

A clear and naive child's voice suddenly sounded in her brain, giving He Xi a fright. She hurriedly retracted her hand and looked suspiciously at the gigantic egg that was as dazzling as ever.

Was she imagining things previously? Why did she hear a child talking? And… it even called her 'mother'.

However, this room was empty, and she could not see anyone at all. Could it be… this gigantic egg was talking to her?

He Xi's heart was filled with disbelief, but she extended her hand and pressed on the sparkling, shiny, gigantic egg.

"Mother, you finally came to see me. If you didn't come, Baby will be bored to death."
