Building a Goddess Kingdom in Ancient Times

After twenty years in the apocalypse, Lin Suizhi unleashed all her powers and died together with the Zombie King.

When she opened her eyes, she had been reborn in ancient times as a ten-year-old girl in a poor farming family.

The good news: Her powers had come with her, and she had even unlocked a portable space.

The bad news: It was a famine, and the whole village was fleeing south.

Before her were a sobbing mother, a father holding a butcher's knife, and an older brother trying to pin down her arms and legs.

Lin Suizhi, about to become someone's next meal: ...

In the 35th year of the Cangcheng era, a terrible drought struck.

The land was bare, not a blade of grass in sight, and the harvest failed completely.

Bandits and marauders ran rampant, and uprisings broke out across the Nine Provinces.

The rich feasted while the poor froze by the roadside.

The land was strewn with corpses, and people ate their own children.

Yet in an age of constant disaster, a hidden paradise quietly came into being.

Droughts, floods, landslides: homes destroyed?

Lin Suizhi raised a hand, building impregnable walls and steel-reinforced roofs, while ferocious beasts became guardian spirits protecting the nation.

No grain, no water, no vegetables or meat: famine everywhere?

Lin Suizhi waved her hand, and rain poured down to irrigate the fields; poultry appeared, ready for anyone to take; the soil grew fertile, and rice ripened in a single day, ready to harvest whenever needed.

Insects, plague, infectious disease: corpses covering the land?

Lin Suizhi spread her arms, and birds brought ginseng, beasts delivered reishi mushrooms, and seeds took root, growing into vast patches of medicinal herbs in an instant.

Facing the people kneeling in worship, she smiled faintly.

Just the basics. No need to make a fuss.

Records from later generations say: "Follow the mountain path. Ahead lies a plum grove. At the end of the path, you will see curling cooking smoke, orderly houses, birdsong and fragrant flowers, and chickens and ducks calling out. The people there are all women. On a large stone at the entrance to the village, three characters are carved. This place is called..."
