The mortal body was remade and reborn. Her initial spirituality lay dormant and ignorant, akin to that of a newborn. It wasn't until she was five that she awakened her previous memories, and after a long slumber, fully integrated them, startling her into a cold sweat.
The Empire was supposed to invade when she was six! With only a year left, there was no way she could become strong in time; not to mention reaching peak power, even achieving the Excellence Realm was exceedingly difficult because controlling magic power was tied to the strength of spirituality, which in turn depended on the growth of the body.
Meimei put all her efforts into enhancing her strength, prepared for a desperate fight, but in her sixth year, the Empire did not come, nor in her seventh, nor her eighth.
While she lay dormant and cultivated, she also waited for the Empire, determined to be ready before its arrival. This time, she would protect everyone and not let any good person get hurt.
