Wang Bo'an was stunned and looked at his confidant, saying, "Lin, my friend, are you mistaken? Zhang Yan has been with me for more than ten years, and we have a deep bond."

Zhang Yan sneered, "Sheriff Lin may have mistaken someone else for me."

Lin Wen said firmly, "It's him! I haven't made a mistake! I saw him with my own eyes using an encrypted radio to send a message to the intermediary of the council!"

Zhang Yan's face immediately fell.

"Sheriff Lin, you can't just say things without evidence," Wang Bo'an also looked at Lin Wen with doubt, but saw him laugh and take a few steps forward to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan raised his head and looked at him fearlessly, "What do you want to..."

Bang!

Lin Wen punched him to death.

"Alright, Governor Wang, thank me. Your military information will never be leaked again."

......

Although Wang Bo'an was angry, he did not order the execution.

Instead, he had a few guards detain this audacious kid and sent people to investigate all the clues related to Zhang Yan.

They continued with the pre-war meeting and formulated strategies.

But that kid from Changshan County kept interrupting on the side, not just once, but persistently, and with depth, often leaving them speechless.

The staff were reluctant, but upon careful consideration, they found that the enemy might indeed act as he said.

Unconsciously, they would look to Lin Wen to see if he had anything to say about each action.

By daybreak, they had formed a plan that was completely unimaginable to them before.

Wang Bo'an's many years of military experience told him that this plan had a high chance of success and would deal a heavy blow to the enemy, causing the cavalry of the Papal States in Zhongzhou to fall into an irreversible decline.

At this time, the guards who went to search for Zhang Yan reported back. They found a suspicious encrypted communicator among Zhang Yan's belongings, using an encryption channel established by an unknown communication base station.

Taken alone, this couldn't prove anything.

But now, Wang Bo'an was already eighty percent convinced. He immediately ordered the guards to thoroughly investigate all matters related to Zhang Yan.

Then, he began the tense work of preparing for battle. Dealing with traitors was one thing, but it couldn't delay the battle.

At this time, Lin Wen came to say goodbye, claiming that there was something more urgent to deal with.

Several confidants disagreed, but Wang Bo'an waved his hand.

"Lin, my friend, you may go."

Lin Wen then left, taking a motorcycle from the base.

It only weighed a little over two hundred kilograms, so it didn't affect him.

One of the confidants said urgently, "Governor Wang! Why can't we rule out the possibility that he is a spy!"

Wang Bo'an shook his head.

"He's not."

"No one can imitate his demeanor. This is Lin Wen himself, he's doing his best to help me. He can't be a spy."

"But we still can't explain why he's here, and there are many doubts..."

Wang Bo'an smiled, very happy.

"And don't you think that since yesterday, the enemy has become strange? Their attacks are weak, their defense is soft, as if they are not focused on our fierce attacks."

"I didn't understand before, but now I do. Perhaps Lin Wen and his special forces have entered the enemy's rear and caused great damage to their logistics. They have recalled a large number of forces to defend the rear, which is why they are hesitant in the front."

"Perhaps, that's why he had the chance to get the message of the traitor from the enemy and hurriedly come to tell me."

The confidants looked at each other. The Governor's reasoning sounded unbelievable, but it was perfectly consistent and logical.

Wang Bo'an turned back and continued to focus on the tense preparations for battle.

"Let's get to work! Brothers, maybe we can really win a big victory."

But at the same time, he said something that no one else could hear.

"Perhaps, in this lifetime, I can really see a new star of the empire rise."

---

In the land of Zhongzhou.

Lin Wen felt like he was about to fly.

The super-enhanced version of "No Colorful Phoenix" far exceeded his imagination, reaching the level where he could predict the future with just a thought.

He could think about how he would act in his mind and predict the possible outcomes.

He even imagined imagining and predicting in his imagination.

It was simply unbelievable.

He even felt that if he were to reincarnate now, he could defeat those immortals.

Of course, the first priority was to seize all the good karma that he could easily obtain.

He roamed Zhongzhou, using spells as if they were free, aiming for the core without paying attention to the trivialities, saving time.

Lin Wen worked for a whole day, returning from Zhongzhou to Changshan County, obtaining the majority of the high-yield good karma, until his primordial spirit was almost depleted.

Back in his small house, he prepared to sleep and recover the good karma.

Just as he was about to enter the time of cultivation before sleep, Lin Wen suddenly thought, if the current "No Colorful Phoenix" could predict the future to some extent, then he could predict the good karma, and even his perfect reincarnation plan.

Perhaps, he could even predict his situation after reincarnating and cultivating as an immortal.

At the thought of this possibility, Lin Wen was burning with excitement.

First, he assumed that if he saved up a hundred thousand good karma before reincarnating, how many attributes would he gain.Root bone +5, divine sense +5, comprehension +5, opportunity +2, luck +2, karma +30.

Wow!

Lin Wen's heart surged, immediately assuming that he had been reborn after accumulating a million good deeds.

Root bone +25, divine sense +25, comprehension +25, opportunity +6, luck +6, karma +300.

No way?

Is it poisonous?

Why not +20?

Lin Wen was very unhappy. In order to feel better, he assumed that he had accumulated ten million good deeds before being reborn.

But the vision predicted by "No Colorful Phoenix in Body" was a black void, and he couldn't see anything.

Lin Wen tossed and turned for a while, but couldn't find the reason.

Forget it.

Let's do something else first.

Lin Wen began to predict his perfect rebirth plan.

Soon, he gained many important details and a deeper understanding of the perfect rebirth.

Great!

Lin Wen thought.

Now there is no room for error.

As long as I eliminate the bad karma, I can start preparing immediately!

And then, the most exciting part.

If he successfully achieved a perfect rebirth with ten thousand good deeds -

......

The violent beating of his heart made it impossible for Lin Wen to concentrate. It took him a long time to calm down and imagine the long-awaited future with a peaceful mind.

The white clouds scattered and the light shifted.

When Lin Wen opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in an unfamiliar place.

The grass was lush, the air was filled with a sweet fragrance, and there was a village nearby. In the distance, a towering mountain loomed, with the faint silhouette of some exotic beasts.

A surge of joy erupted from Lin Wen's heart. He had actually succeeded! He had actually come to the immortal cultivation world!

Lin Wen was ecstatic, taking a deep breath.

Ah! The air in the immortal cultivation world is so sweet!

He stood up and realized that he was still in the same body, not a baby, nor had he possessed someone else's body.

It was just that all the injuries he had suffered before his death had been healed.

Straight through.

Lin Wen thought.

He tried and found that he couldn't summon the system in the illusion.

But it didn't matter, this didn't affect Lin Wen's mood at all.

He took a few steps forward, crossed a peaceful stream, and saw a young girl washing clothes by the river, a waterwheel slowly turning not far away, and a few children playing by the waterwheel.

Lin Wen continued to walk forward and saw more peaceful and serene scenes.

Suddenly, his heart beat violently.

He saw a large group of people in the distance, surrounding several people who were obviously dressed as immortal cultivators.

Is this the scene of selecting entry-level disciples as rumored?

A stronger confirmation soon followed -

A person flew down from the towering mountain in the distance.

As soon as he landed, he shouted, "Qingyun Sect, entry-level aptitude test! Begin!"

......

Undoubtedly, with the superlative aptitude brought by the perfect rebirth and ten thousand good deeds, Lin Wen shocked everyone and successfully became an entry-level disciple, being taken up the mountain.

Lin Wen quickly learned that Qingyun Sect had seven peaks, seven veins, and seven inheritances, mainly focusing on thunder spells and immortal swords.

Although the sect was very powerful, the internal hierarchy was strict, and cultivation was slow. Lin Wen quickly ended his first journey.

And began his second journey.

Lin Wen still appeared on the grass outside the village, but this time he headed in a different direction, towards the outskirts of the village.

But outside was an endless expanse of mountains, and it would take a long time to walk with mortal steps.

Lin Wen thought for a moment. He assumed that the system still existed, but it was ineffective.

He also assumed that he had already become an immortal, with control over countless spells, but it was still ineffective.

This should be beyond the scope of supernatural powers.

Lin Wen thought.

Let's be more reasonable.

He then assumed that he had used the art of divine movement before his death, and the effect of the spell still existed on him.

This time it worked. Lin Wen strode forward, quickly running out of the mountains.

Then, he was eaten by a snake demon.

Damn it!

Lin Wen was furious. He had been immersed in the magnificent scenery outside the mountain and hadn't noticed the snake demon poking its head out of a hole behind him and eating him.

Even "No Colorful Phoenix in Body" didn't give a warning in the illusion.

Third journey.

Indeed, "No Colorful Phoenix in Body" couldn't assume its existence in the illusion.

Lin Wen had to assume all the spells onto himself.

Returning to the original place, he fought the snake demon for a few minutes and successfully entered the snake demon's belly.

Forget it.

Fourth journey.

Lin Wen once again assumed all the spells and ran out of the mountains directly into the vast world outside.

After visiting several large cities, he was sucked dry by a group of evil cultivators in a secluded place in the wilderness.

Good!

Remember this, you guys!

Fifth journey.

This time, he finally had some different gains.

Lin Wen learned about the three strongest sects on the Eastern Continent.

After several more journeys, although Lin Wen did not find a way to enter the sect, he discovered that he could assume limited events in this illusory world.

As long as it was reasonable, it would come true.

After learning about this function, Lin Wen immediately ended his current journey and began his eleventh journey.

This time, Lin Wen did not leave the mountain, but instead joined Qingyun Sect, and then assumed his way to become an inner disciple directly.

Now, he had the qualification to meet the peak master. As long as he could assume the master's appreciation, he could become a true disciple and directly obtain the top-level cultivation method.

In this way, as long as he kept saving and reloading, he could obtain most of the top-level cultivation methods of most sects before entering the immortal cultivation world.

Then, when he truly reincarnated, he would choose the sect that was most beneficial to his development and start his extraordinary path.

Perfect!

Haha!

I'm simply a genius!Lin Wen wildly hypothesized along the way, assuming that any inner disciple he encountered would regard him as someone worthy of respect, each nodding and gesturing to him without inquiring about his intentions for heading towards the peak master's location.

The summit was a celestial formation, and two young Daoist attendants, believing he was about to gain the peak master's favor, did not trouble him. They activated the rainbow bridge, allowing him to cross the sea of clouds and reach the peak master's place of cultivation.

It was said that the peak master of this mountain had reached the late stage of the Yuanshen period, with the Great Vehicle almost complete, a top figure on the verge of achieving immortality after only cultivating for a little over 800 years.

Lin Wen couldn't help but salivate at the thought of the top-tier heart method that this eminent figure was about to impart to him.

As he stepped off the rainbow bridge, he saw a majestic palace reaching into the heavens. Inside the palace, a cultivator in celestial robes and holding a fairy sword was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his back to Lin Wen.

Celestial energy swirled around him, mist drifting about, and with each breath, clouds seemed to form and dissipate.

Lin Wen's heart raced with excitement at finally seeing a high-level cultivator. He took a step forward, about to hypothesize, when suddenly, the illusion shattered, the world turned upside down, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in reality.

Around him was a shabby hut, a table, a few chairs, a water kettle, and a rice bowl.

There was a light bulb on the wall, covered in dust from long disuse.

The roof had several holes, through which one could see the round moon obscured by thin clouds, like the shy face of a beauty.

"Damn it!"

Lin Wen was furious.

Such a thing could actually happen.

So his freeloading plan was aborted?

Lin Wen tried to travel several more times, but the outcome was always the same. As soon as he hypothesized about cultivators above the Yuanshen period, the illusion would immediately shatter.

For some even stronger cultivators, the illusion would shatter just by his approaching it.

Forget it.

Lin Wen could understand, after all.

He gave up on impossible plans and decided to just observe and gather some information.

On his forty-second journey.

Lin Wen stumbled upon a ruin called Yosuga No Sora.

After dozens of explorations, he finally found a way to activate it; he just had to hypothesize that Yosuga No Sora acknowledged his qualifications.

Then Lin Wen was transported to a strange place, an endless expanse with a terrifying aura that filled the heavens and the earth. A figure stood in the distant sky, and a polar light fell from the heavens, splitting the world in two with a thunderous roar.

"A sword that severs the ages!"

Demonic energy surged to the sky, and Yosuga No Sora changed again.

The world was vast, demonic light crisscrossed, and thirty-six black lotus petals bloomed layer upon layer, only to be smashed into the abyss by a heaven-reaching punch.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

"Emperor's Fist suppresses the past and future!"

Yosuga No Sora changed again.

Lin Wen arrived under a desolate heaven and earth, where a giant stone spanned the middle, inscribed with:

"Born for battle, arriving for calamity!"

Atop the stone, top powers fought, the heavens and earth changed color, all things fell silent, and the stone shattered layer by layer.

Seeing the battle drawing closer, Lin Wen knew he couldn't get too close to such high-level figures and immediately hypothesized a change in Yosuga No Sora.

A flash of light, and in the infinite void, a hand reached out, grabbing Lin Wen's wrist.

"Caught you, demon from beyond the realm, Lin Wen!"

Dark light rushed towards him, the illusion rapidly shattered, and Lin Wen returned to reality at a million times the speed, the dark light disintegrating, but a trace still followed closely.

When he opened his eyes, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Closing his eyes, the system panel that was once surrounded by celestial energy was now entwined with dark energy.

Unknown, Bad Karma +1

Unknown, Bad Karma +1

The black text kept flashing before his eyes, and Lin Wen nervously checked the system, finding that aside from the bad karma, there seemed to be no major issues.

That was a relief.

Lin Wen breathed a sigh of relief but then cursed under his breath.

Damn it!

He had been careless.

He knew he shouldn't have spied on top powers so recklessly.

Lin Wen looked at the ever-increasing bad karma with concern, wondering, "When will this stuff dissipate? What if my bad karma explodes?"

Fortunately, after about 300 points of bad karma, the dark energy faded slightly, and the bad karma stopped increasing.

Lin Wen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, there were no irreversible consequences.

Although 300 points of bad karma was painful, there were ways to resolve it, and it was barely acceptable.

Lin Wen glanced at his bad karma, which had reached 763, and felt utterly disheartened.

Because he hadn't strengthened No colorful phoenix in body, his bad karma had been decreasing at a snail's pace of 1 point per day, which was truly frustrating.

At this rate, who knew when his reincarnation plan would succeed.

Lin Wen sighed, took out a paper effigy from his sleeve, and attached it to a wooden figure beside the bed, preparing to have the puppet serve him tea and water. He hadn't slept for nearly three days and needed a good rest.

However, the wooden figure didn't move.

Lin Wen hesitated for a moment, then cast the spell again.

This time, he clearly felt that the spell, Paper Effigy Puppet, had failed!

Lin Wen realized something was wrong and immediately entered the spell interface, only to see that most of his spells were covered in dark energy and unusable.

Damn it!

Looking from top to bottom, all offensive spells like Nine Bulls and Two Tigers Strength, Paper Effigy Puppet, Qi Forbidden Divine Power, Fiery Flame Jue, Thunder Fire Fiery Flame Jue, were all blacked out.

Clearly, they had been sealed by the curse of that dark light.

I curse your ancestors for a thousand generations!

And worse, Lin Wen soon discovered that the enhancement effect of No colorful phoenix in body in the divine power interface had also disappeared, returning to its normal state.

You've got to be kidding me?

There are so many regions, so many good deeds waiting for me to touch! I just came back to rest and replenish my Yuanshen!

And you've ruined it just like that?

Are you kidding me?

Lin Wen was so angry he could crack an egg.

Fine!

This feud is settled.

You just wait!

No matter who you are, whether you're an Emperor of the Heavens, Ancestor of the Dao, Immortal King, or a mighty figure.

I swear I'll dance on your grave.

F*ck this.
