Chapter 259 One Second
Lin Wen was about to clean up the battlefield when suddenly his vision went dark.
Countless pure black rays of light evaporated from the sky, black mist rushed violently past the eyes, and a huge black sun hovered in the air, becoming the source of all darkness.
Against this background, seven large characters, seemingly formed by condensed black light, appeared in the upper left corner.
【The True Dharma of the Spirit of Transmutation】
Even against a completely black background, it was clearly visible, the font glowing with an indescribable black light, as if foreshadowing a terrifying future.
Lin Wen was stunned for a few minutes before realizing that this was the evil karma magical power.
No way?
Is my bad karma off the charts?
Was it +200? Not +2?
Lin Wen thought for a moment and withdrew from the magical interface, and took a look at his bad karma: 838.
Less than 1,000?
What's wrong?
When Lin Wen entered the supernatural power interface again, the first thing he saw was his good karma supernatural power interface. The five supernatural powers were arranged at the top with golden or white light, without any changes.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, his perspective shifted drastically, as if a satellite had moved to the other side of the earth, and a background of steaming black mist appeared before his eyes.
Sure enough, supernatural powers have another side.
Under the black sun, above the steaming black mist, [The True Method of Transformation and Freedom of the Spirit] is also located in the upper left corner of the background interface, just like the Good Fate Divine Power.
And on its right, there is also a row of numbers.
1000/5000.
Lin Wen knew that if he got 5,000 evil karma, he would gain the second evil karma supernatural power.
But, my bad fate hasn’t arrived yet?
Lin Wen thought for a moment, then returned to the Shanyuan interface and carefully looked at the number to the right of the fifth magical power.
56691/80000
And his current good karma is: 56529.
The difference between the two numbers is exactly the same, both are 162, so...
Lin Wenxin did some calculations and understood in an instant. The good and bad karmas eliminated by [Yu no Sora] also include supernatural powers?
However, Lin Wen knew that the good karma he consumed when casting spells with good karma was not counted.
Otherwise the gap would now be at least 5,000 points, not 162 points.
It seems that the sacrifice has really been lost, disappeared from the root, as if it had never been obtained.
snort.
Lin Wen showed a sneer that was one part cold, two parts noble, three parts evil, four parts arrogance, five parts indifference and six parts sarcasm.
One day, I'll figure it out.
You guys who are taking advantage of my good karma, just wait! The charges are so expensive, even more so than China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile combined. One day, I will make you spit it all out.
However, let’s first see what the evil karma power can do. I hope it’s not a huge pit that automatically increases bad karma.
【The True Dharma of the Spirit of Transmutation】
Evil karma supernatural power.
Plant the Blood Hand Demon Seal on any target whose cultivation level is not higher than yours. Whenever you gain more than 1 point of bad karma, you will absorb 1-1000 seconds of the target's lifespan.
Only you can remove the Blood Hand Demon Seal. Unless the target has a higher level of cultivation than you, they will never be able to get rid of it.
If others want to remove it, their cultivation must be far superior to yours.
A maximum of five Blood Hand Demon Seed Seals can be planted. The higher the cultivation level, the greater the number of Demon Seed Seals.
——
After watching it, Lin Wen couldn’t say he was disappointed, but he wasn’t happy either.
It turns out to be a useless scam.
He doesn't plan to stay in the physical world for a hundred years, so why does he need such a long lifespan?
In the past world of cultivating immortals, it wouldn't take him long to break through, and his life span would increase dramatically, so there would be no question of an end.
Only those who lack talent and have been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time will worry about their short lifespan.
never mind.
Just pretend it doesn't exist.
Lin Wen went over to clean up the battlefield, collected the ordinary physical magic weapons on the ground, put them in a big leather bag, and hung it next to his motorcycle.
Now his motorcycle is loaded with these bags, like a gypsy motorcycle tourist.
The leather bags were tied several meters high with ropes on the back seat of the motorcycle, just like the junk king in his previous life who could haul several tons of garbage with a small tricycle.
But Lin Wen didn't care. The image of the physical world was like a breeze to him.
Firearms and ammunition are now in short supply in the empire. They are no longer available for purchase openly, and submitting a report to the higher authorities to get approval for arms is even more of a dream. There are only a small amount of smuggled goods, and the prices are incredibly high.
Changshan County is now actively expanding its army, and arms have become a big problem, so Lin Wen has to come and pick up scraps.
Lin Wen got on his motorcycle and took a look at the map he had marked. There were a total of twenty-seven points marked on it, all of which were the points that needed to be cleared that he had asked about before.
Lin Wen drew a red cross on a point, indicating that the point had been cleared.
There are twelve such red crosses in total, and fifteen points remain to be cleared.
Lin Wen got on his motorcycle and headed to the next destination. At this moment, the satellite phone in his arms rang.
After pressing the connect button, a deep voice came out from inside.
"Lin Wen, come back quickly, Mr. Zhao is dying."
What?
It was as if a bolt of lightning struck his head from the blue sky, and Lin Wen's mind went blank for a moment.
Although he already knew it.
But when that day comes, it still feels hard to accept.
Zhao Minggong’s role in Changshan County is irreplaceable, but Lin Wen has no other choice. He has asked many times using various methods, and the answer every time is [a dead tree comes back to life in spring].
This is a spell for the middle stage of the soul, and the amount of soul consumed is astronomical.
The doctor said he only had three months left.
Calculating the time, it’s almost time.
Because he was busy with work, Lin Wen didn't even think about this matter.
When I heard the news suddenly, I really felt it was hard to breathe.
However, Lin Wen also knew that this was the death without regrets that Zhao Minggong had sought. He had used his light to illuminate the future path of Changshan County and had no regrets.
So, there is nothing to be sad about.
However, not everyone can be so open-minded.
There was suppressed crying sound coming from the phone.
A voice cried, "Chief Lin, please save Grandpa Zhao. Please, please save him."
Lin Wen remained silent.
A whisper of comfort: "Girl Li, don't embarrass County Chief Lin."
"But, but what about Grandpa Zhao?"
"Mr. Zhao knew this day would come a long time ago. We all knew it."
"Director Li, this is the suicide note that Elder Zhao has assigned you to open."
"No, don't." There was a sharp sound of resistance, and something was knocked away. "Head of County Lin! Please!"
Her voice came over me, clearly audible.
"Aren't you omnipotent? Everyone says you're the omnipotent Lin County Magistrate, so you must be able to save Grandpa Zhao. I beg you..."
Beep...
The call was hung up.
Zi——
The motorcycle stopped.
Lin Wen was sitting in the car.
Countless spells flashed before his eyes, but he had studied them countless times.
After looking at the spells, look at the magical powers, and after looking at the magical powers, look at those items that have not been unsealed yet.
However, he had no entry point for cultivation, no techniques, no real magic weapon, no realm, and no spiritual energy.
Nothing can be clicked.
what to do?
Lin Wen once again browsed through the spells and magical powers, which he had already memorized by heart.
In addition to the newly acquired evil karma magical power——
【The True Dharma of the Spirit of Transmutation】
As if a light flashed through his mind, Lin Wen thought of a possibility. He immediately turned back, focused his eyes on this magical power, and opened its detailed interface.
On this interface, all information about the supernatural power is available, including its past and present lives, its evolutionary origins, and all possible situations.
Lin Wen found what he wanted at the bottom of the detailed information.
The world is evil, human nature is evil, and doing good is poisonous. If you gain more than 1 point of good karma, 1-1000 seconds of life will flow back to the target. Don't do good deeds!
Ha ha!
It’s true, it’s really like that.
I should have known long ago that this magical power is a huge pit. Doing evil will absorb your lifespan, and doing good will naturally result in the loss of your lifespan.
Lin Wen glanced at his life expectancy, which was 68 years.
No problem, that's enough. I won't be in this world for long. After this, my lifespan will definitely increase dramatically within ten years. Just in case, I'll just leave it for thirty or forty years.
Hahaha!
I am indeed a genius!
Without further ado, Lin Wen immediately used [Ride the Clouds] and flew directly to the roof of the First Hospital.
Then he ran down from the roof.
At a glance, he saw many familiar faces. Almost all the officials in the county government hall were there. The atmosphere was solemn and there were faint cries. When they saw Lin Wen, they seemed to have found their backbone and rushed up together.
"Head of County Lin."
"Chief Lin, you are here."
"Mr. Zhao, he..."
The crying got louder again.
Lin Wen shouted, "Get out of the way!" and rushed forward. "Get out of the way!"
With the agility of a civet cat, Lin Wen forced his way into the blocked passage, pushed open the door of the intensive care unit, and headed straight for Wolong's bed.
There is a large group of doctors around him making their final efforts, but Wolong's life curve is still flattening.
Lin Wen ran over and pushed the doctor aside.
Wolong was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes closed, his hair gray, his wrinkles as deep as if they had been cut by a knife, and his body thin.
In Lin Wen's eyes, his life was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time in the wilderness ravaged by the strong wind.
"Chief Lin, I offer my condolences." A doctor said in a low voice.
"Mr. Zhao..."
"Shut up!"
Lin Wen put his hand on Wolong's bony chest and activated the [Transformation of the Spiritual True Method].
A bloody palm print invisible to mortals appeared on Wolong's chest.
A line of words also appeared below [The True Dharma of Transmutation]:
Zhao Minggong can absorb lifespan for 6181 seconds.
There are less than two hours left.
Good fate!
Now we still need good karma!
Lin Wen didn't have time to explain, he immediately ran out, found Yang Shaohu in the crowd, and ordered him to immediately end the second phase of refugee reception work and prepare to start the third phase.
Although Yang Shaohu didn't quite understand, seeing County Chief Lin so anxious, he knew there must be an emergency and immediately turned around to carry out the order.
For more than an hour, the atmosphere in the venue was solemn and sad. The doctor reported the situation every 15 minutes, and the news was not optimistic.
Lin Wen was restless, looking at Zhao Minggong's increasingly shorter lifespan, and thought to himself that if there wasn't enough time, he would go and earn some good karma to slow down the process.
When the doctor came out for the fifth time, he announced some very bad news. There was a sudden burst of crying in the room, especially among the cadres who had long-term contact with Zhao Minggong. Several of them burst into tears.
Li Xiaoli was crying so hard that she couldn't speak. Qin Luoshuang and Xia Xiaoxiang were sitting beside her, comforting her in a low voice.
Amidst this gloom, a burst of wild laughter was heard.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"I've finally waited."
Everyone looked up and saw Lin Wen with a look of joy on his face. He jumped up and laughed loudly.
A huge golden number flashed before his eyes.
Disaster relief and life-saving, good karma +2121.
[The True Method of Transformation into Free Spirit] flashed wildly, and countless warning patterns composed of black air floated before his eyes.
But Lin Wen ignored it and only stared at the bottom of the magical power:
Lifespan regurgitated, reduced by 312 seconds! Target increased by 312 seconds!
Lifespan regurgitated, reduced by 412 seconds! Target increased by 412 seconds!
Reduce by 72 seconds! The goal is to increase by 72 seconds!
Reduce by 11 seconds! The goal is to increase by 11 seconds!
With countless messages flooding the screen, Lin Wen's life span was reduced by a total of 1,412,586 seconds, or 392 hours.
Wolong's lifespan also increased from 1510 seconds to 1414096 seconds, and he now has another 16 days to live.
As long as he continues to gain good karma, Wolong will remain immortal.
As long as Wolong lives, Changshan County's super-fast development will not slow down, and he will be able to gain more good karma.
This is called a win-win situation!
Lin Wen exchanged several years of useless life for a better start.
This is called foresight!
Hahaha!
The last sentence is,
