# Rebirth from Ashes: A Light of Hope in a Small World As the last group, hurried yet filled with relief at having survived, entered the small, softly illuminated space, the psychics who had been defending the entrance, defending the space against the impact of the meteorite and maintaining its stability, retreated exhausted as if all their strength had been drained. Xiao Yi's legs felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. He slowly turned, his gaze piercing the faint halo of light that enveloped the small space, gazing behind him at the once familiar blue planet, now shattered beyond recognition. What greeted him was a scene of apocalyptic devastation. The once sapphire-blue sky was now obscured by thick, dark clouds and billowing smoke. Occasional flashes of blinding lightning ripped through the clouds, like the agonizing struggles of a dying planet. The earth was shattered, mountains collapsed, and the plains were covered with vast craters. A raging fire raged through the ruins, devouring any remaining signs of life. The ocean was no longer the serene blue of days past, but now a raging black surge, rife with debris, crashing against the shattered shoreline. Xiao Yi's heart was a whirlwind of emotions: grief, anger, helplessness, and unwavering faith intertwined, a raging storm surging within him. Within the small space, those who had just endured life-or-death trials supported each other, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear for the apocalypse and gratitude for finding temporary refuge in this confined space. Children clung to their parents' arms, their eyes filled with confusion and anxiety. The elderly, their hands trembling slightly, silently prayed for the uncertain future. The young, though exhausted, still held a glimmer of determination in their eyes. They knew the outside world had become a purgatory, but within this tiny world, the flame of life still burned tenaciously, their last hope for the continuation of civilization. The psychics, regardless of their physical fatigue, sprang into action. Xiao Yi took a deep breath, forcing himself to concentrate, and organized the psychics to use their respective abilities to create a suitable living environment within the small space. Those with the ability to manipulate plants gently placed their hands on the earth, eyes closed, and as they exercised their powers, tender green shoots sprouted from the once barren land, transforming into lush crops and fruit trees in the blink of an eye. Colorful flowers bloomed, exuding fragrance and bringing life and vitality to the small space. Those with the ability to manipulate water stood in an open space, dancing their hands and muttering something. Suddenly, a clear spring appeared from nowhere, bubbling up and gathering into a crystal-clear stream, flowing gently across the land. Wherever the stream passed, it nourished every inch of the land and also soothed the parched hearts of the people. There were also those with the ability to control light energy, transforming it into a warm and soft light source, simulating the natural cycle of day and night. During the day, the light was bright but not dazzling, like the warm spring sun, illuminating the earth and providing abundant energy for plant growth. At night, the light dimmed and became warm, like a cluster of stars, bringing peace and tranquility to the weary people. While food and water issues had been initially resolved, the psychics knew this was only the first step in a long road to reconstruction. They began using their powers to construct sturdy and comfortable shelters. Psychics with the ability to manipulate earth and stone shaped the mud and stones into the shapes of houses, while other psychics imbued these structures with unique functions. Some houses had the ability to automatically regulate temperature, while others were able to withstand various natural disasters. Through the psychics' efforts, the small space gradually became organized, and a miniature human settlement began to take shape. People began to take on their respective roles. Young people took the initiative to undertake the heavy manual labor, assisting the psychics in further improving living facilities. The elderly, drawing on their vast experience, taught the children various survival skills and knowledge. The women took care of the household, preparing food for everyone and creating a warm family atmosphere. However, Xiao Yi knew that the challenges they faced were far from over. While the small space provided temporary shelter, its resources were limited. Achieving sustainable resource utilization within this confined space posed a daunting challenge. Furthermore, the devastated world outside teemed with unknown dangers: radiation, mutant creatures, and lingering mysterious energies all posed a threat to the small space. To address these challenges, Xiao Yi assembled an exploration team composed of psychics and brave ordinary individuals, who regularly ventured out of the small space to explore the outside world. Each expedition was fraught with danger, but the information and resources they brought back were crucial to the small space's development. They discovered several intact underground bunkers containing valuable technological equipment and supplies, and also found special minerals that, after research and transformation by the psychics, could be used to enhance the small space's energy defense system. Their explorations also encountered various dangers. They were attacked frantically by mutated creatures of enormous size and terrifying appearance, possessing extraordinary strength and speed. However, the exploration team, with their tenacious will and the special abilities of the psychics, repeatedly overcame these dangers. Once, in an abandoned city, they encountered a pack of mutated wolf-like creatures, their bodies covered in sharp bone spurs, their eyes flashing an eerie red. Just as the wolves were about to attack, a psychic with lightning control quickly unleashed a powerful electric current, temporarily repelling the wolves. A psychic with teleportation abilities then took the opportunity to lead the group to safety. Over time, the people of the small space gradually adapted to this unique lifestyle and made significant progress through their continuous efforts. With the help of psychic powers, technology advanced, leading to more efficient energy utilization systems and further improving resource utilization. Medical breakthroughs also occurred, using psychic powers to repair and strengthen human cells, curing many previously incurable diseases. Xiao Yi knew that to restore Blue Planet's vitality, relying solely on the development of a small space was far from enough. They needed a long-term plan to gradually clean up Blue Planet's radiation and harmful substances and restore its damaged ecosystem. He organized psychics and scientists to work together to find a way to purify the environment. After countless experiments and failures, they finally discovered that certain plants, stimulated by supernatural powers, could absorb and decompose radioactive materials. They began cultivating these plants on a large scale within their small space, with the plan to gradually transplant them to the land of Blue Star. Throughout this process, the people of the small space maintained a spirit of unity. Whenever faced with difficulties, they worked together to find solutions. Growing up in this environment, the children were taught from a young age to protect Blue Star and continue civilization, and their hearts were filled with a longing for the future and a sense of responsibility. Although the road ahead was long and arduous, Xiao Yi firmly believed that as long as they united, they had hope of continuing human civilization in this small world, and even one day, restoring Blue Star to its former vitality. In this devastated world, that small space was like a beacon, illuminating humanity's path and leading them towards a hopeful future.
