Inside the Shenzhou core laboratory.
The place was blindingly white, with walls and sophisticated instruments shimmering with a deep blue light.
A female PhD student, dressed in a formal white lab coat, adjusted her frameless glasses, her eyes behind the lenses fixed on a huge electronic screen.
On the screen, the curves representing soil activity and life energy are rising.
"The energy injection for sample number three is stable, and the organic matter conversion rate has exceeded 95%!" A young researcher's voice trembled as he clenched his fists tightly.
Before them, inside a fully enclosed glass incubator, was a small clump of diluted and purified black gas extracted from the square box sealed by Yu Luo.
Now they are slowly pouring it into a handful of barren sand.
The black mist seemed to possess a life of its own; the moment it came into contact with the sand, it transformed into countless black filaments invisible to the naked eye, which then burrowed into the sand.
The once lifeless sand turned black and shiny at a visible speed.
The notification sounded, and the green curve on the screen eventually stabilized at a peak.
"It's a success!"
Someone shouted first, and the entire laboratory instantly erupted in excitement!
A researcher wearing thick, beer-bottle-bottom glasses jumped up excitedly, only to trip over a power line and fall flat on his face.
But he didn't care at all, and excitedly pounded the floor as he lay down: "We did it! From now on, the world will have countless more fertile lands!"
The female PhD student's tense lips finally curled into a smile.
She picked up the walkie-talkie, her voice trembling with excitement: "Immediately seal the samples and prepare the most detailed report! I will personally go to Tianyu Divine Mountain to report to Immortal Master Wang!"
They named this thing Divine Grace One.
It signifies the number one miracle bestowed by God.
Within half an hour, the report and a small bag of black powdery fertilizer samples were placed in front of Wang Wan.
Wang Wan remained dressed in an elegant blue robe, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. She merely sensed the immense vitality contained within the bag of powder before understanding its value.
“This matter concerns the very foundation of the nation,” she immediately concluded.
Liang Shu, dressed casually, happened to be there as well.
Having lived two lives and now serving as the Right Chancellor, she was deeply aware of the hardships faced by the people. After hearing Zhong Yan's description just once, her breathing became rapid.
"Sister Wang, this matter must be reported to His Majesty immediately!" Liang Shu's eyes gleamed with shrewdness. "With this, within a year, the granaries of our Liang Kingdom will be overflowing with grain, the people will be at peace, and we will have nothing to fear from those petty villains!"
Wang Wan nodded: "Go and do it immediately."
"good!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Shu waved her hand, and a silver spatial rift appeared out of thin air.
She nodded to Wang Wan and Zhong Yan, stepped inside, and her figure vanished instantly.
Zhong Yan pushed up her glasses, looked at the slowly closing spatial rift, and muttered to herself, "Every time I see it, it seems unscientific, but it's really so convenient."
The Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.
Empress Liangyu was troubled by reports of disasters in some areas, while several senior ministers sighed beside her.
Suddenly, the space beside the Empress distorted, a flash of silver light appeared, and Liang Shu's figure appeared out of thin air.
"Protect the Emperor!"
"An assassin!"
Several senior officials were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, nearly knocking over the rosewood chairs behind them.
Liang Yu, however, was already used to it. She raised her head, her posture under the dragon robe appearing composed: "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
Without wasting any words, Liang Shu directly handed over the sample and report of Divine Grace No. 1: "Your Majesty, please take a look! An auspicious omen sent by Tianyu Divine Mountain!"
After reading the report and hearing Liang Shu's explanation, Liang Yu was equally excited.
She suddenly stood up, her eyes shining with an unprecedented light, sweeping away her previous gloom.
"Issue my decree!"
The Empress's voice was clear and firm, echoing throughout the entire imperial study.
"Immediately establish the Shennong Bureau, with Right Chancellor Liang Shu concurrently serving as its director! Allocate one million taels of silver from the national treasury to purchase Shen'en No. 1 from Tianyu Divine Mountain! Set up experimental fields in all prefectures and counties across the country, with officials of the Shennong Bureau personally overseeing the process! This matter is of paramount importance to the nation; anyone who dares to obstruct it will be punished as a traitor!"
His words were spoken with absolute certainty, and the few old ministers who were still in a daze suddenly realized the importance of this item. They all knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Once the decree was issued, the entire Liang Kingdom's officialdom sprang into action.
Bags of black Divine Grace No. 1 were quickly delivered by horse to the poorest and driest prefectures and counties of Liang Kingdom.
Qingzhou, a remote village.
Old farmer Li squatted on the edge of the field, looking at the cracked earth with a worried expression.
It took a lot of persuasion from the local officials to finally get him to agree to spread some dark, murky "magic fertilizer" on his worst plot of land.
"What kind of magical fertilizer? It's just black soil and flour." Old Li puffed on his pipe, looking unconvinced. "Sir, it's not that I don't believe you, but if it doesn't rain, even if you sprinkle gold, no crops will grow."
The clerk wasn't annoyed at all, and said with a smile, "Sir, this is blessed by our Mountain Goddess, and Her Majesty the Empress personally ordered its promotion. Just give it a try, and if it doesn't work, the government will compensate you for the cost of the seeds!"
Hearing that it was the name of the Mountain Goddess and the Empress, Grandpa Li reluctantly sprinkled the fertilizer down and symbolically watered it.
That night, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep, feeling that the whole thing was unreliable.
The next day, before dawn.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Come and see!"
His grandson's earth-shattering shout jolted Grandpa Li out of bed. He ran outside without even putting on his shoes properly, thinking the earth had turned upside down.
But when he ran to his own piece of barren land, he froze.
Overnight, a dense, lush green wheat field sprouted up on the land where Divine Grace No. 1 had been sprinkled!
Each one was full of vigor, with glistening dewdrops hanging on its leaves, brimming with vitality.
"This...this..."
Grandpa Li rubbed his presbyopia, thinking he was still half asleep.
Several households next to him also ran out. When they saw this scene, everyone gasped, and the edge of the field fell silent instantly.
A villager reached out with trembling hands and gently touched the tender green wheat seedlings. It was real!
"My God! A miracle! This is a miracle!"
Someone shouted first, and then all the villagers reacted.
Grandpa Li knelt down with a thud, kowtowed three times heavily in the direction of Tianyu Divine Mountain, and tears streamed down his face.
"The Mountain Goddess has appeared! Your Majesty is truly wise!"
"Thank you, Mountain Goddess! Thank you, Your Majesty the Empress!"
In an instant, a group of people knelt down on the ridge of the field, their devout prayers and joyful cries blending together.
It dispelled the gloom that had shrouded this land for so long.
The power of faith, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged mightily towards Tianyu Divine Mountain.
Yu Qi sensed this power of faith and once again inspired countless divine birds of the Shang sheep, causing them to fly towards a region of drought.
In an instant, the people in those places burst into excited shouts.
