CH 1

Thirteenth day after crossing over.

Lin Wen had long since calmed down from his initial excitement, and not only had he calmed down, but he also felt a deep sense of despair.

This world was still a world ruled by boring physical laws, still a world without miracles, magic, or immortal cultivation.

This world still lacked everything he dreamed of, leaving only a struggling life in the dust and days that repeated endlessly with no end in sight.

For Lin Wen, all life here was dull, meaningless, and driven by instinct.

He had had enough.

"There's only death left."

Lin Wen finally made up his mind.

Looking around, everything was brown in this small town built on top of soil, with shapes made of soil everywhere, even the wind and air.

In this brown background, a green firewood knife was quietly leaning against a half-collapsed earthen wall.

It was so unusual that Lin Wen saw it at a glance.

"Okay, I'll use this."

Lin Wen walked over, ready to pick up the firewood knife and kill himself.

But a bony hand reached out and grabbed it before he could.

Lin Wen looked up and saw the old man sitting on the other side of the earthen wall.

"Uncle Xu."

Lin Wen spoke, recognizing the person as a lonely old man whose eldest son had gone out to make a name for himself and had not been heard from in decades. His second son and youngest daughter had both died. After his wife passed away a few years ago, he had been living alone in great hardship.

Every few days, Lin Wen had some work to do for him, so he knew him.

"Sell me the knife, I need it urgently."

Uncle Xu looked up at him and smiled with cloudy eyes and wrinkles like knife cuts.

"You can take it, Little Lin. Return it whenever you can."

Lin Wen took out all the money he had on him and handed it over.

"Uncle Xu, the knife is requisitioned by the town, you take it."

"I don't need that much."

Whenever he saw Lin Wen, Uncle Xu's eyes were always soft.

Lin Wen had made up his mind to die and gave him all the money, casually making up a reason, "Part of it is the poor family allowance from above."

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

"Do they all have that?"

"They do."

"Well, the county has finally grown a conscience."

"Yeah, who doesn't have a conscience?"

Lin Wen took the firewood knife and bid farewell to Uncle Xu.

He had already seen a quiet and secluded place with no one around.

He would kill himself there in a moment.

This frustrating journey of crossing over was over.

Perhaps,

He could cross over again after he died.

Perhaps,

This time he would go to the world of immortal cultivation.

Even if he really died, it would be better than this hopeless life.Lin Wen walked to a secluded place, raised the firewood in his hand, and at the moment he aimed at his neck, a white mist suddenly appeared before his eyes, and two light golden characters swept across the white background.

【Good karma +1】

The golden characters disappeared in an instant, and then the golden light in his left eye shone and turned into a line of characters with a golden frame and golden patterned background:

【Good karma: 1】.

The black air in his right eye rolled and turned into a line of characters that seemed to be condensed from pure black gas:

【Bad karma: 0】.

These two lines of characters appeared side by side on the white mist background, one gold and one black, in sharp contrast.

At the top was his name surrounded by immortal energy: Lin Wen.

In the middle, a long section was written with various attributes such as spiritual energy, realm, divine ability, and spells, all of which had a seal-like pattern at the end.

At the bottom were four words that made Lin Wen's heart stop:

Reincarnation cultivation.

- Suicide can lead to reincarnation.

- 50 good karmas can lead to reincarnation.

This was the information that naturally came to Lin Wen's mind when he stared at these four words.

Explosive joy flooded his brain in an instant.

Undoubtedly, this was his lifelong dream, his unchanging aspiration from beginning to end, his wish that he had been dreaming of and willing to achieve at all costs.

Just a little bit more, Lin Wen would have died on the spot, but at this critical moment, his remaining sanity made another question pop up in his mind.

"What is the difference between suicide reincarnation and 50 good karma reincarnation?"

As if asking and answering himself, the answer directly floated up from his mind.

"Suicide reincarnation makes you a person who does not care about the mortal world, with +1 comprehension, -3 mentality, -3 opportunities, and -3 luck."

"Good karma reincarnation makes you a good and kind person, with +1 aptitude, +1 comprehension, +1 opportunity, and +1 luck."

Lin Wen's face turned pale.

As everyone knows, the most important thing in the cultivation world is luck, followed by opportunities.

Without luck, no matter how high your cultivation base or how many treasures you have, no matter how arrogant or low-key you are, the end result will be that you will be robbed by a young master.

What's worse is that the real cultivation world may have even more tragic things happen. Besides all your lifelong savings going to others, your disciples, relatives, and friends will also die. Your wives, daughters, and lovers will become someone else's harem.

If the other party has a grudge against you, there may even be a grave-dancing party, an 18x kind of party.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Without opportunities, it means that you enter the treasure mountain but come out empty-handed, do not recognize the big thigh in front of you, fall off a cliff but cannot pick up the secret book, spend a lot of effort to break an ancient formation and obtain a treasure but have it taken away by someone else, and find out that the inheritance of your predecessors has long been looted.

Although it is not fatal, this kind of frustration will definitely become the biggest devil in your heart and greatly affect your cultivation.The most crucial thing is that it will reduce many opportunities for immense pleasure. The adventure of cultivation not only lacks surprises, but also adds troubles everywhere.

This is the most terrifying thing, as it will directly shake his original will for cultivation.

Therefore, suicide reincarnation is simply a pit within a pit, an epic pit. For a trivial attribute, one loses the most important opportunities and luck.

Lin Wen came to his senses and felt cold sweat all over his body. He thought to himself, "I should find a quiet place to study and come up with the most appropriate way of reincarnation."

This time, he must start perfectly!

Never come to such a remote and desolate place again, and never be the mayor of this meaningless town.

Lin Wen has vaguely realized that much of this information has long existed in his mind, sinking into the deepest layer of memory like the subconscious, waiting to be recalled by a switch, such as a strong doubt.

As for when this information was acquired, it is not important. Maybe it has existed before he crossed over, or maybe it was just now.

As soon as he took a step, he stumbled on a firewood hatchet, and Lin Wen bounced off like he had touched a landmine, avoiding it and walking around a large circle.

Absolutely nothing unexpected can happen.

This is the only thought in Lin Wen's mind.

He almost used the hatchet to chop himself just now.

After finally avoiding all possible dangers on the way home, Lin Wen returned to his home.

It was a roughly twenty-square-meter earthen house with a thatched roof, empty walls, and only a bed and a table left. Sunlight penetrated through the holes in the wall and thatched crevices like sharp arrows.

If it were before, Lin Wen would definitely despise such a shabby place.

But now, Lin Wen felt that the environment was very good, very suitable for his identity as the strongest cultivator, the future master of destiny, the son of the heavens who would step on the Immortal King and punch the Divine Emperor.

"Good! I will practice in seclusion here!"

Lin Wen jumped onto the bed, posed in a meditative posture, closed his eyes, and with a thought, white mist appeared in front of him again.

Lin Wen quickly scanned the content above. Yes, it was the system of cultivation. Although Lin Wen did not particularly like this method, it was just a trivial matter. As long as he could cultivate, anything was fine.

The middle part of the white mist was a long list of attributes, each with a seal-like pattern behind it, indicating that it was not yet activated.

That was right. He had not started cultivation yet, so of course there was no cultivation level, treasures, or spiritual energy.

His gaze turned to the bottom of the white mist, where the most exciting four words were, which were the first thing he needed to "recall" right now.

Let's begin!

The first question:

[What is all the content related to cultivation?]

However, Lin Wen stared at the four words "reincarnation cultivation" for a long time, but no information emerged from his mind."Is my posture wrong?" Lin Wen thought to himself.

Then he changed the question:

"What is the reincarnation method with the most luck?"

Still not good enough.

Lin Wen thought for a moment and realized that his question was too broad and his spirit wasn't strong enough.

"I need to be more emotional and ask more targeted questions, like what I most want to know right now..."

"If I die unexpectedly, can I be reincarnated into the immortal world?"

Almost immediately, Lin Wen remembered.

"Die unexpectedly and become an unexpected person. Perception +3, Root -1."

It wasn't very useful, but it wasn't too harmful either. Even if he died unexpectedly, he wouldn't fall and fail to become an immortal. However, he still needed to be careful. Although becoming an immortal was only a matter of time, starting off poorly would delay the process and make it more difficult.

"Are there any reincarnation methods with only negative effects?"

No, he wasn't strong enough emotionally. He needed to be more aggressive, more explosive.

"Can choking to death while eating lead to reincarnation?"

...

Lin Wen kept searching for ways to die until the next day and finally summarized the two best-known reincarnation methods.

Dying to save the world - "Star of Salvation, the Traveler of Reversal is not as good as a dream." Insight +3, Chance +3, Luck +3, Obtaining the "Not Evil in This Life" trait - the difficulty of practicing evil skills doubles.

Dying for duty - "The Guardian, How Could Blessings and Misfortunes Affect Him?" Root +1, Divine Sense +1, Chance +2, Luck +2.

In addition, Lin Wen also discovered an important piece of information in his mind: reincarnation can have multiple causes of death at the same time.

For example, he could become both the Star of Salvation and the Guardian.

It was easy to imagine that someone like Superman, whose duty was to save the world, would die while fulfilling his duties and saving the world, thus fulfilling two conditions and obtaining double happiness.

Looking at the rows of attributes, especially the huge amounts of Chance and Luck, Lin Wen's mouth was watering.

Without a doubt, this was the method of death he would strive for in the future.

Unless he could find two better ones.

Although Lin Wen wanted to continue, he couldn't hold on anymore. After a night of intense searching and explosive emotions, even the strongest person would be exhausted.

Lin Wen fell onto his bed and, before closing his eyes, looked up and asked himself one last question.

"How do good karma and bad karma come about, and what are they for?"

It was very easy. Lin Wen answered himself directly.

"Benefiting the world can bring good karma."

"Harming the world can bring bad karma."

"Good karma can slightly improve aptitude, chance, and luck, resist major disasters, and reduce the damage of calamities."【Bad karma can greatly improve one's aptitude, directly enhance cultivation, achieve breakthroughs quickly, or temporarily enhance combat abilities. However, it lowers one's chance and luck.】

I understand. Good karma leads to the path of ascension, reaching the apex of cultivation.

Bad karma leads to quickly becoming a scatterbrained child, sending treasures to immortals.

Still not sure which to choose?

Lin Wen fell asleep immediately.
