Plane Crash

Based on his research into superpowers over the years, Chen Mo guessed that the improvement in his abilities was related to his mental strength.

His spatial ability had appeared after that car accident. The enormous crisis had stimulated Chen Mo's mental strength to grow rapidly, developing his brain. After breaking through a critical threshold, it had awakened his body's potential and unlocked his spatial ability.

So, aside from his physical fitness surpassing that of ordinary people, Chen Mo's thinking and memory had also become much stronger than before. This was likely a sign of increased mental strength and further brain development.

After killing someone this time, Chen Mo had become cold and decisive. He had broken free from the restraints of worldly rules and undergone a transformation in his mindset. As his state of mind improved, his mental strength rose dramatically once more.

Not only had his space expanded, but Chen Mo could also feel that his physical fitness had improved greatly. His mind had become clearer, his thoughts sharper, and his thinking speed, reaction speed, and memory had all improved significantly.

But was that all there was to this ability?

Chen Mo, fleeing after murder, sat in his seat. While practicing quickly storing and retrieving items from his space with a lighter, he pondered his abilities. Suddenly, a violent bout of turbulence jolted him out of his thoughts.

The passengers on the plane also gradually woke from their sleep, and the entire cabin began to grow noisy and chaotic.

The shaking became increasingly severe. Finally, accompanied by two dull bangs, the whole plane visibly jolted, and its speed began to drop.

Chen Mo looked toward the clouds outside the window and noticed that the plane was descending, drawing closer and closer to the cloud cover.

Two words surfaced uncontrollably in Chen Mo's mind: "Plane crash!"

Panic spread through the cabin as the flight attendants began trying to calm the passengers.

"Please remain in your seats and fasten your seat belts."

In the cockpit, the Captain gripped the controls tightly and struggled to keep the plane under control, while the first officer continually checked the instruments and reported the situation.

Both engines had shut down. The plane had completely lost power and was gliding, while the control system had also malfunctioned, making it difficult to control the plane's attitude.

The plane was steadily losing altitude. It had already passed through the clouds and was still descending, and beneath it lay the boundless sea.

"Altitude 6,000 feet, speed 220 knots." The first officer's voice trembled slightly.

Although the Captain fought to maintain altitude, the plane still drew closer and closer to the sea. The control system failure made it difficult for the plane to glide smoothly. It was diving at a steep angle, an attitude that made a stable water landing utterly impossible.

At the plane's current speed, the moment it touched the sea, the enormous fluid resistance of the water would instantly tear it apart before it rapidly sank to the ocean floor. The chances of anyone aboard surviving were zero!

Suddenly, in the Captain's field of vision, a patch of green appeared amid the vast blue sea in the distance. As the plane glided onward, that patch of green gradually grew larger.

"An island!" Even the Captain, who had remained calm throughout, could not help but grow excited.

"What?" The flustered first officer, who had been staring at the instruments, abruptly looked up.

"There's an island ahead! If we can make an emergency landing on it, we may still have a chance to survive!" The Captain was clearly invigorated by the discovery as well. In this desperate situation, a sliver of hope had finally appeared.

The plane was not far from the island now, but it was losing altitude rapidly. Neither man had any confidence that they could land safely on the island.

The island was not large. The Captain had to control the plane's altitude precisely and ensure it landed right on the island. The slightest mistake would send the plane to its grave in the sea.

The Captain activated the cabin announcement. "This is the Captain. Brace for impact!"

While everyone else panicked and lowered their heads as the flight attendants demonstrated, Chen Mo watched the sea surface outside the window rush closer. His heart began to pound violently, each contraction powerful and forceful as blood was rapidly pumped throughout his body. The space in his mind also began expanding at high speed.

The plane drew closer and closer to the island, with only a few hundred meters remaining. Unfortunately, it could not hold on any longer and was about to strike the sea. Fine beads of sweat appeared on the Captain's forehead. At the final moment, he pulled up the nose with all his strength and shouted into the communicator, "Brace for impact!"

The tail of the plane soon struck the sea. The high speed brought a tremendous impact, and the seawater became as hard as steel. The tail was torn apart instantly. The plane shook violently, and everyone was hurled fiercely forward as the fuselage began to tilt.

When the tail broke away, the immense tearing force rapidly slowed the plane. Yet that same force also caused the plane to tilt. The left wing touched the sea first, and the engine beneath it was ripped away by the immense force in an instant. The nose began tilting left, followed by the entire left wing snapping under the enormous pull. The plane's fuselage skidded across the sea at an angle, and before long, the right wing was torn off by the water as well. The Captain let go of the controls in despair. From this point on, all they could do was leave it to fate.

With both wings broken off, the plane completely lost control. It rolled and skidded across the sea on momentum. People, seats, and luggage were occasionally flung out through the damaged cabin. Debris flew everywhere inside the plane. From time to time, people were struck by heavy objects, or their seat belts snapped and hurled them from their seats, smashing them into other passengers or the cabin walls. Blood filled the entire cabin.

Meanwhile, Chen Mo was undergoing a dramatic change. His powerful heart beat faster and faster, and the scenes around him began to slow in his eyes.

The entire cabin rotated slowly. Luggage and magazines drifted past before his eyes, and everything around him slowed down.

At last, his space expanded into a cube one meter on each side. It seemed to have reached some kind of limit and began to undergo a new change.

The boundaries of the void space began to turn transparent. Beyond them, countless points of light, varying in distance and brightness, were scattered like stars, weaving together a dazzling starry sky. Closest to the space, a bright orb quietly emitted a mysterious radiance.

A burst of profound information suddenly flooded Chen Mo's mind. The Spatial Ability that had lain dormant for years finally revealed its true nature to him.

It turned out that when Chen Mo had suffered the car accident and his potential had erupted, his mental strength had rapidly increased and crossed a certain threshold, activating a hidden special ability.

In fact, Chen Mo was not the only person in history to awaken a special ability. Throughout the long course of history, people had occasionally awakened their own special abilities by chance. Though these abilities all came with various limitations, their wielders had still left their marks on history.

Zhuge Liang performed rituals and summoned wind and rain; Xiang Yu could lift a cauldron with his strength and was unmatched under heaven.

Many abilities from mythology were actually records of these supernatural powers left by the ancients. Thousand-Mile Eye, Wind-Following Ear, invulnerability to blades and spears, flying through the sky and burrowing through the earth—these abilities had all truly existed.

But Chen Mo was even more special than them. He could travel through time and space and enter other worlds, though this ability could not be used freely and came with certain restrictions.

First, traveling through time and space required powerful mental strength. Chen Mo's mental strength had only now met the requirements, truly activating his ability to traverse time and space.

There were two main ways to improve mental strength. One was through improving one's state of mind, which would increase mental strength and develop the brain; the other was the eruption of potential at the brink of life and death, which would rapidly enhance all aspects of one's abilities. Besides mental strength, physical fitness would also increase.

Second, after traveling through time and space, there would be a one-month cooldown. Only after one month could he travel again.

The points of light outside the space were worlds he could travel to. However, his spatial ability was not yet powerful enough, and he could only travel to one world for now. As Chen Mo's mental strength increased, his space would continue expanding and become more stable, and the number of worlds he could travel to would increase as well.

Chen Mo was currently facing a desperate situation. The suddenly awakened ability to travel through time and space brought him hope. No matter what lay on the other side, he had to escape first.

Chen Mo's consciousness entered the space and focused on the only glowing orb. With a thought, he chose to travel. The orb flashed with light, and Chen Mo instantly vanished from his seat.
