The first time.

Lin Wen felt the tranquility.

No one disturbed him.

No affairs forced him.

He could finally immerse himself in cultivating immortality day and night, without thinking about anything else, without thinking about all the worldly troubles, focusing on studying the details he had not noticed before.

The system contained endless content about cultivating immortality, and Lin Wen wandered in the ocean of cultivating immortality, just like entering the world of cultivating immortality in the illusion last time.

The seven days passed in a flash.

The imprint of "Demon Disintegration" disappeared.

【Evil Fate: 0】

At this moment, Lin Wen was really moved to tears.

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].

It had been too long, he had waited for too long.

The feeling of being entangled by countless evil fates was like a nightmare, never being able to be reincarnated.

Now, he was finally free!

However, although the efficiency was very high, the cost was also very severe. Lin Wen's good fate decreased by 8300 points.

It was ten times the evil fate, which was the side effect of "Demon Disintegration."

This seemed to be a malicious and evil operation of fate, which rapidly reduced the good fate and evil fate of the lesser side, but reduced the greater side at ten times the speed.

Whether he focused on cultivating good fate or evil fate, it was a loss.

However, although it was heartbreaking, Lin Wen also felt it was worth it.

Moreover, after the seven days of seclusion, there was something even more joyful.

Weekly good fate settlement:

Peaceful and prosperous +6996

Prosperous and strong +336

Justice and rule of law +82

Equality and freedom +77

Happiness +116

Democracy +100

Civilization +67

Total: 7774

Divine spirit +8.12%

【Good Fate: 68963】【Evil Fate: 0】【Divine Spirit: 208.48%】

【Path of Fate and Emotion】8564/10000

This was the good fate he obtained without doing anything, lying comfortably in the house.

This was the scene he had always dreamed of—lying comfortably in the house cultivating immortality, while his laborers worked hard outside, enduring wind, sun, and rain, but not getting a single bit of good fate.

All the good fate flew to him, all the labor results were seized by him, and he could become an immortal just by lying down.

Wasn't this the thing he had been tirelessly dreaming of?

All his hard work, enduring the filth and boredom of the physical world, working hard, wasn't it all for this immortal life?

Finally, he achieved it in this life.

In the future, he only needed to recruit more laborers—both high-level and low-level laborers, to create a good labor environment for them, and the good fate would come more and more, continuously rushing towards him.

He would lie in the house watching his wealth grow, and when his divine spirit was full, he would go out and harvest a wave of leeks.

This was simply fantastic!

Lin Wen felt great for a while, and then began to observe the data.

The democracy, which had always been zero, finally had a number. It should be due to his excellent democratic tradition.

The rate of increase in divine spirit had decreased significantly, because he did not strengthen the 【Half-Fate Cultivation】.

During the seven days of cultivation, he had captured three fate stars, two blue and one colorless.

The blue ones strengthened the spirit communication technique, which was the 【No Colorful Phoenix】.

The colorless one strengthened the heavenly path technique, which was the 【Path of Fate and Emotion】.

The blue ones strengthened the fate techniques, and currently his two techniques, 【Yosuga No Sora】 and 【Half-Fate Cultivation】, corresponded to the blue fate techniques.

If he did not strengthen the corresponding type of technique, the effect would be greatly reduced.

After considering for a while, Lin Wen decided to keep them for later use.

In addition, the number of refugees had stabilized, and the subsequent fate lines would only grow steadily and slowly, without any more outbreaks.

To significantly increase the divine spirit, he could only wait for the opportunity to recruit on a large scale in the future.

The fifth divine technique, 【Path of Fate and Emotion】, was almost full again. This technique provided a very powerful fate, and Lin Wen had a premonition that it would become his main force in the future.

Great!

Lin Wen jumped off the bed with an extremely handsome movement, put on his sheriff's cloak with an extremely handsome movement, and with the divine sword specially made for him by the flying sword workshop, he felt like a banished sword immortal descending to the mortal world.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was needed.

Now, I need to quickly handle the aftermath of the reincarnation plan, and then just wait for the opportunity for reincarnation to come.

After Lin Wen's death, Changshan County needed two things to not collapse and be looted for its achievements: first, a powerful force completely loyal to Changshan County, and second, a legal basis.

The former, Lin Wen had predicted during the super strengthening period of 【No Colorful Phoenix】. Fang Dashan was unreliable. Although this person had always been by his side and had undergone repeated ideological transformations in the People's Army, he was fundamentally still an official of the empire, needing to be loyal to a legal superior.

Everything he currently understood was to create a special imperial team. He hoped to shine in the empire and even reform the entire imperial team system, but he had never thought of betraying the empire.

Fundamentally, he had only changed from a bureaucrat who wanted to be promoted to a reformist of the empire.

Lin Wen had also used the super strengthening of 【No Colorful Phoenix】 to predict that there were only two people around him who could take on this mission: Qin Luoshuang and Yang Shaohu.

However, these two people were not available to take over the army, nor did they have time to establish their prestige among the soldiers.

The rest of the people either could not lead the troops or did not have enough ideals and loyalty.

The compromise solution was to establish the Changshan County Joint Operations Command as the highest command of the Changshan County army, and to formulate discipline to obey the highest command.If we could find someone with military talent and the spirit to sacrifice for Changshan County to serve as the military leader, that would be even better.

Of course, the best approach would be to kill two birds with one stone, using both methods simultaneously, establishing a headquarters and finding a leader for Changshan County.

As for the legal basis that exists, it is to avoid the empire taking the opportunity to reclaim the three powers or reappointing a new Sheriff of Changshan County, which would put Changshan County in an unfavorable position of having to confront the empire directly.

Lin Wen glanced at his overflowing primordial spirit and immediately consulted the "Immortal's Guidance" for a solution.

Consumption: 10%.

The minimal consumption indicated that this problem was quite simple for him.

【No Solution Needed】

Damn it!

Lin Wen quickly understood that this wasn't a problem at all. The person who had given him the three powers would automatically provide a legal basis to maintain the existence of Changshan County.

Damn it, give me back my primordial spirit!

——

Having resolved one issue, the next was the military problem.

Without delay, Lin Wen rushed to the barracks, called over the military leaders like Fang Dashan who were recruiting new soldiers, and announced the new military system—

The establishment of the Changshan County Joint Operations Command, serving as the highest command center and leadership department for the Changshan County military.

All military structures were to be unified under the command's leadership.

This system was actually ready-made; Lin Wen simply changed the name and adopted it entirely.

To be honest, this was somewhat overstepping his authority, as he had completely changed the imperial military system, which was not entirely covered by military power.

But the boundary was vague, and although leaders like Fang Dashan didn't quite understand, they still followed Lin Wen's orders.

Lin Wen also thought of a compromise. Although Qin Luoshuang and Yang Shaohu couldn't split themselves to lead the military, they could serve as members of the command, gaining some management rights over the military.

Thus, Yang Shaohu, who was still dealing with affairs in the refugee camp, and Qin Luoshuang, who was training new special agents, were urgently called over, confusedly participated in the command's establishment ceremony, and were personally conferred ranks by Lin Wen, becoming members of the Changshan County Command.

Lin Wen naturally assumed the role of Commander-in-Chief of the Changshan County military, with Fang Dashan as the commander, Qin Luoshuang as the chief of staff, and Yang Shaohu as the director of the political department.

The other leaders also took on roles such as staff officers and combat execution officers within the command, and all were promoted one rank.

As the Sheriff, Lin Wen could, according to military authority, confer the highest rank of Colonel, but this required approval from the supreme military command.

The rank he could directly confer was Major.

Thus, Fang Dashan jumped directly from Second Lieutenant to Captain. The other leaders were also promoted to Sergeant Major or Second Lieutenant.

The entire venue suddenly turned into a sea of joy, and the leaders who were not too keen on the system changed their stance, singing praises, with Fang Dashan being the most enthusiastic.

Watching the leaders reveal their true colors, Lin Wen was somewhat concerned.

Yang Shaohu had urgent affairs and returned to the refugee camp after the conferment.

Qin Luoshuang, however, understood the deeper intentions behind Lin Wen's series of actions and his concerns.

She pulled Lin Wen aside and said, "Lin Wen, the command needs real military leaders. We are not enough to restrain Fang Dashan. If you want to fully control the military, you need the support of a large number of non-commissioned officers and long-term training of the soldiers to instill your philosophy deeply, otherwise they won't dare to truly resist the empire."

"And this is not something Fang Dashan and the others can achieve."

Lin Wen's eyes lit up; he was actually preparing to use another spell. If Phoenix Nest had a solution, wouldn't that save a lot of his primordial spirit?

He eagerly asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Qin Luoshuang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I know many idealists who aspire to change the empire and fear no sacrifice…"

"Great!"

Lin Wen agreed immediately.

"Recruit them into the military as non-commissioned officers right away. You are the chief of staff and have the authority to manage."

Although she knew he would agree, Qin Luoshuang was still touched by his unconditional trust.

"Also, I think we should recruit children from poor families in Changshan County or select from the refugees those who have long been at the bottom of society but have no criminal records. They should be more receptive to your philosophy."

"Good! Very good!"

Lin Wen was overjoyed, almost wanting to hug her and kiss her.

Indeed, she was worthy of being Phoenix Nest, not letting down the hard work I put in back then.

He waved his hand grandly and uttered his classic saying.

"All of this, I leave to you!"
