Lin Wen was about to return when suddenly the satellite phone in his arms rang.

The quality of this phone was also good enough, probably produced by Nokia of this era, with only a few scratches after enduring hardships.

Lin Wen answered the phone.

It was Qin Luoshuang's voice.

She told Lin Wen that the refugee settlement to the east was approaching full capacity, and Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao wanted to build a new refugee settlement on the west side of the Shanghuai Highway, which was the wasteland to the west of the Phantom Day Demon Pit.

Of course, this was not a problem.

Then she told Lin Wen that many refugees wanted to join Changshan County to work here.

But the refugees had a complex composition, including farmers, hunters, workers, small vendors, artisans, and a small number of impoverished landlords, factory owners, bankers, and so on.

Lin Wen replied, "You let each department recruit separately. Those who want to farm should go find Chen Xingtai and let them join the farming association in Shangxi Town to open up new land. Those who can hunt should go to the southern Tai Xu Mountain Range to join the old hunters' guild. Those who can log should also go there to work as loggers."

"For those who want to work, you let the labor department screen them and recruit them into the labor force, but do not accept those idle ruffians."

"Tell Xiao Xiao to prepare a loan policy to provide low-interest loans for those individual households and artisans, encouraging them to return to their old trades and re-establish their businesses in Changshan County. Don't be afraid of trouble, carefully screen their qualifications and backgrounds, and don't let any ulterior motives waste my money."

"As for those who were once wealthy, don't accept any of them. Gather them all together and hand them over to Fang Yaobo. I will make a decision after I return."

It took twenty minutes to finish the call. Lin Wen looked at the sky and saw that it was already late, and the strengthening effect of the Destiny Stars had also ended.

He simply found a sheltered spot under the cliff and began to meditate.

Imperial City.

Imperial Winter Palace, side hall.

A huge metal gate hung with a sign from the Religious Tribunal.

Inside the side hall, the Chief De Luo was reading a report.

After the arson incident on Parliament Hill, the Religious Tribunal was merged into the Supreme Council, and the responsibility for managing the empire's religious affairs was also incorporated into the Supreme Council.

Yu Zhongxian used this authority to gather many evil and wanted religious sects for his own service.

Among them was the Gray Robe Sect.

The purpose of the Gray Robe Sect was to use drugs to lower the intelligence of the laboring masses, allowing them to indulge in fanatical faith in the Lord and thus obtain infinite happiness.

The devotees maintained painful wisdom and served these happy souls in this sea of suffering.

Due to its special nature, the Gray Robe Sect's research in the field of biochemistry was very deep.

Its famous figure, Fang Lili, was a world-renowned genius biochemist. With his own efforts, he advanced the empire's biochemistry by 30 years, inventing all super-enhancement agents and hallucinogens, including "Angels," and proposing the famous four-tier theory of biochemical transformation, providing a theoretical basis for the development of biochemical weapons.

Unfortunately, the ungrateful empire, after obtaining the research results, declared Lili guilty of crimes against humanity and executed him in his biochemical laboratory.

The Gray Robe Sect was subsequently declared a cult and banned.

However, his research results had already been widely disseminated and developed.

Since then, every Chief of the Gray Robe Sect had to be a top biochemistry expert.

The current Chief De Luo was no exception.

Therefore, half of the biochemistry research institutes under the New Law Party were under his charge, including the Delite Fortress.

When the Delite Fortress was destroyed, he received the news immediately, along with the last message sent before the destruction.

--- All the information about the special operations unit in Changshan County, as well as the detailed process of the battle in Zhongzhou.

De Luo immediately convened a meeting of the Chief's Council, with all the top members of the Gray Robe Sect in attendance.

At the meeting, De Luo disclosed this information.

All the top members of the Gray Robe Sect were experts in special operations and super-individual fields, and were also proficient in pharmacology, psychology, psychiatry, and biochemistry.

After careful research, they unanimously agreed that this super-individual was neither a threat nor of any value.

"There are billions of possibilities for biological evolution, and a single accident cannot prove anything."

"Success that cannot be replicated is meaningless, and a unit that cannot be mass-produced can only be placed in a museum."

"This is a gamble."

"Using all our energy and resources to create a super-individual is the most foolish act. The failed Superhuman Project has already proven this."

"What is truly worth noting is the advanced tactical weapons on him, as well as his powerful support team."

They quickly formulated a combat plan against him.

"Deploy the No. 3 Life Priesthood of the Luo State."

"Use machine guns, armor-piercing shells, and mortars as the main means of attack. Rocket launchers are flashy but ineffective."

"Equip with a sound wave detector. The strange gray mist cannot block sound."

"Deploy crawling listeners to assist in combat and guard against attacks."

"Activate satellite link support and prepare for remote support."

De Luo reported the situation to the Supreme Leader with the combat plan in hand.

But Yu Zhongxian did not particularly care about the top biochemistry laboratory being destroyed.

Currently, the Imperial City was in the grip of a terrifying political whirlpool. The political cry of "Who is obstructing the empire's victory" issued by Emperor Li Longxing had rapidly formed into a storm, sweeping through the entire upper echelons of the empire.

This was the most important thing to pay attention to at the moment. A slight misstep would result in his own bones being crushed to pieces.

In comparison, the defeat in Zhongzhou was not so important.After listening to the report from Instructor Deluo, Yu Zhongxian remained silent for a long time before he finally spoke.

"If the third Life Priest Group is transferred away, we won't be able to suppress the power of the Qin Clan conglomerate."

Deluo remained silent, as the overall strategy was for the Commander-in-Chief to decide, and he had no right to interject.

After a moment, the Commander-in-Chief continued:

"Our conflict with Qin Gang should not be made public. Tell the Governor of Luo State to convey to him that if he allows us to participate in his human trafficking, we can reconcile."

"Yes," Deluo replied.

"That's settled then. It seems this super individual is the only reliance of Changshan County. That little beast Lin Wen is very likely to be Li Longxing's secret agent. He has made Changshan County break away from the protection of East Qin Prefecture, seemingly severing ties, but in reality, he harbors greater schemes."

"Remove this thorn as soon as possible."

"At your command," Instructor Deluo bowed deeply, "Commander-in-Chief."

Lin Wen's meditation this time was very strange.

Previously, it would take between twelve to eighteen hours of meditation to acquire a destiny star that could be used to strengthen his divine abilities.

But this time, as soon as Lin Wen entered meditation, he saw a huge, thick, and rigid line of destiny spanning the sky, like a rainbow bridge crossing the sea of stars.

Lin Wen effortlessly collided with it, and the moment he touched it, the power of destiny that broke through the heavens streaked away like a meteor shower, leaving Lin Wen with a destiny star much larger than usual.

Unfortunately, this pulsating light was green.

A green destiny star only had a high enhancement effect on the Lingxi divine abilities, and not much on strengthening other divine abilities.

Lin Wen was frustrated and glanced at his bad karma: 460.

Forget it.

It's not like he could use it all up in one go anyway.

Thus, for the first time since obtaining his fourth divine ability, "Body of Destiny," Lin Wen strengthened a divine ability other than "Yosuga No Sora."

His only Lingxi divine ability: "No Colorful Phoenix."

Under his gaze, the green destiny star traced a gentle curve and flew into the four characters of "No Colorful Phoenix."

In an instant, a dazzling green light shone, and the entire divine ability interface was dyed green, with the characters "No Colorful Phoenix" appearing lush and vibrant, like flowing waves.

Lin Wen checked the enhancement effect:

Billions of Sumeru grains hidden in a mustard seed, myriad scriptures contained within a speck of dust.

The crisis has passed, yet the shock lingers, as if awakening from a nightmare with a stretch.

Below was a line of small text:

Divine abilities cannot defy fate.

Truly bad luck.

Lin Wen was not pleased; the message was nothing extraordinary, simply indicating an enhanced sensing effect.

But as soon as he exited, he was pleasantly surprised to discover two unexpected joys.

First, his primordial spirit was somehow full.

Before entering meditation, he clearly remembered his primordial spirit was empty.

A single session of meditation could at most restore 10%-15%, not enough to refill it.

Yet now, his primordial spirit power clearly displayed: 138.93%.

The second point, his state of Dao had returned to its peak value.

In the past, even with "Yosuga No Sora" in an enhanced state, it would take three days for his Dao to naturally recover from its lowest to its highest state.

Moreover, he had to maintain a natural state of mind, moving with the wind, or it would be even slower.

So what was going on now?

Lin Wen thought for a long time and concluded that it might be due to that abnormal meditation session.

But what caused that abnormal meditation?

Recalling everything he had done that day, only one thing had the greatest impact and was the most likely.

The destruction of that underground base.

After keen deduction, Lin Wen believed this to be true.

For example, the base might have contained something that posed a great threat to Changshan County, and by destroying it, he indirectly saved the county.

That good karma of +2919 for averting disaster and calamity could very well be due to this.

To encounter such an event.

Lin Wen thought gleefully.

Fortune favors the bold.

It seems my perfect reincarnation journey will surely be smooth sailing.

He leaped out of the meditation cave entrance, eager to test the wonders of the strengthened "No Colorful Phoenix."
