The rules of fate are fickle and unpredictable, but being a time traveler has unique natural advantages.
"I have lived one more life than others, so it must be different."
At first, Lynn thought so.
time flies……
He realized that this was a joke.
How many years have I lived in my previous life, how many loves, hates, and bloody stories have I experienced? How can I have the face to claim to know and see through my destiny? It is no less than moaning for no reason and seeking an unwarranted sense of existence.
In this world, the souls of the beings below the god level will enter the underworld after death to start a new round of destiny scripts. The lucky ones who stand out will regain their memories at the moment when they regain their memory. No one except the person involved knows these things.
Don't they understand enough and realize the complexity and greatness of fate?
"He who knows his fate will not blame God; he who knows himself will not blame others."
At some point, Lin En recalled this sentence deep in her heart.
It comes from "Shuoyuan·Tancong", which means that those who understand destiny do not complain about God, and those who understand themselves do not resent others.
Countless thoughts flooded into my mind, and they resonated with the strange and unpredictable power of fate.
At this time, the importance of basic talent becomes apparent!
In an instant, his understanding of the rules of fate deepened, as if he had broken through an obstacle.
"coming soon!"
Suddenly, when a flash of inspiration in his mind shone to the extreme, Lin En felt so blessed that he inexplicably knew that he had made a breakthrough.
“Buzz——!”
The rules of heaven and earth came and countless powers of destiny gathered together. A lower godhead flew out of the soul, underwent transformation and transformed into a middle godhead, and returned to the soul.
There was a faint smile on Lin En's lips.
The god of destiny, it feels very good.
"It's actually been seventy years!"
She had been immersed in the process of cultivation and enlightenment, and was very unfamiliar with the passage of time. Now that she came out of that state, Lin En was surprised to realize that seventy years had passed without her realizing it!
This is not seven days, seven months, seven years, but seventy years! In Lin En's previous life, many people's lifetimes have passed, even two lifetimes in extreme cases...
Time flies, nothing better than this.
"In the past seventy years, two children were born in the third generation of the family, one child was born in the fourth generation, and none in the fifth generation!"
Lin En's face was soothing. The Holy Realm deity, the water element, and the dark element god clone have been staying at home to practice, and occasionally come out for activities. They are not the kind of people who want to be in seclusion until death. They just focus on practicing and ignore the passage of time, but they still have the memories they should have.
Yes, the clone of the God of Destiny remembered it as soon as he recalled it.
Cultivation becomes stronger, the life level jumps, and the probability of giving birth to offspring is very low. What's more, there are unknown reasons interfering with it. It is unrealistic for the Linn family to explosively increase the population in a short period of time.
Lin En can't solve the problem and can only let it happen. Fortunately, she can still live. Just slow down. Anyway, this world is extremely generous for life after the sanctuary. Once you get used to this kind of eternal life, time is as cheap as toilet paper.

This makes the great emperors in other worlds so embarrassed...
…
The Dukedom of Blackstone is densely populated and prosperous.
There are tea houses, taverns, pawn shops, and workshops on both sides of the street. There are rows of buildings on both sides, including tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, public houses, etc.
The street is bustling with people, there are people carrying burdens, driving delivery vehicles, and driving monsters to pull goods. The calm and comfortable smiling faces are all spontaneously overflowing with happy smiles, and they coexist harmoniously.
All this is thanks to Duke Linn's extremely low taxes. Since he was an ordinary baron, there has been almost no floating amount. It is rare in the entire empire, but his business is getting better and better, and his wealth is growing.
The more tax revenue there is, the more tax revenue will come.
There is a figure standing on top of the majestic and towering attic.
He was wearing a light blue robe, his hair was like a waterfall of ink dancing in the wind, his clothes were fluttering, his eyes were as clear as spring water, and his back seemed to blend with the heaven and earth.
Lin En's gaze overlooked the Black Stone Palace in the distance, the largest building complex in the dukedom.
There is a tall building every five steps, and a pavilion every ten steps. The long corridor is like a belt, twists and turns, and the eaves are so high that they fly in the air like a bird's beak.
These pavilions, terraces and pavilions, each rely on different terrains, are surrounded by winding corridors like the center of hooks, and the cornices are towering like fighting horns. They twist and turn, twist and turn, are as dense as honeycombs, and are connected like water vortexes, towering and towering.
These buildings with a completely different style from this plane were naturally created by him. Many dusty fragments of memories become clearer as the soul transforms again and again.
If Lin Lei uses stone carving as a training aid, then Lin En uses architecture, designing and conceiving to train himself again and again!
His eyes are deep and distant...
As the sun sets in the west, its pale golden and red afterglow falls on the earth, indicating that the dark night is about to begin.
Bathed in the sunset, looking at the gradually changing color of the sky, a white-robed figure floated towards her. Lin En smiled knowingly and blended in perfectly with it.
Go home for dinner and the family will be in harmony.
…
half year later.
Blackstone Palace.
On the cold marble floor, an envoy from the Parker Empire knelt down, his head bowed deeply, not daring to raise his head and look directly.
There are four god-level powerhouses on the Violet Continent, representing the Natural Holy See, the Dark Holy See, the Scott Empire, and the Parker Empire. They have maintained balance and recuperated for thousands of years. This is something everyone knows.
But very few people know a shocking secret.
Master Lin En, known as the "Duke of Blackstone", is also a god-level powerhouse!
Lin En held a copy of the "Mainland Population Report" and considered it carefully, and the air seemed to be silent.
The continent has been at peace for thousands of years, and the population has surged. However, the overall natural resources are limited, and the competition for resources among countries has become increasingly fierce. Small-scale wars a hundred years ago have gradually evolved into large-scale national wars. Now only
One fuse will completely set off the war across the entire continent.
High-level officials in various countries are making intensive preparations, while some well-informed nobles and wealthy businessmen are panicking. They smell the danger in the air.
But the one who really makes the final decision is the god-level expert!
If they don't agree and nod, it is absolutely impossible for a large-scale national war to start.
"Do you believe in war?"
Lin En made it clear in one sentence that the mainland has too many people and lacks nature. This is just an excuse to launch a war.
Although this is a fundamental flaw, it is not without solutions.
If you think there are too many people, you will issue a decree. The more children a family has, the more taxes will be paid. Naturally, the lower class people do not dare to have more children and do not have the ability. It can be described as simple and crude.
Reality can't.
Because it is the nobles who can really give birth!
Although the family title can only be inherited by one person, it does not mean that there is only one child. The higher the noble, the greater the number of heirs.
Linn is not qualified to say this to others.
Land resources are limited, but the number of noble heirs is constantly increasing. If you are a magician, you can be ennobled as a baron and own a territory as long as you are level 6. As time goes by, conflicts will naturally increase, both at home and abroad.
The most effective way is not to open up land with more depleted resources, but to directly plunder existing land!
Seizing territory through war and expanding the base of faith has always been a common tactic of the Natural Holy See and the Dark Holy See. The cards are shuffled about once every thousand years, and those who can survive stably are the top families with strong men from the Sanctuary at their command.
only……
This time the situation is a bit special!
The Natural Alliance and the Dark Alliance, like a clockwork machine, are exerting all their strength, preparing to annex each other with all their might. Even the Scott Empire and the Parker Empire, which are nominally in the same camp, are forced to be involved in the whirlpool.
Many thoughts were running through Lin En's mind, and he glanced at the kneeling messenger again, thoughtfully, maybe this was a temptation to ask for directions.
After careful consideration, Lin En said indifferently: "Don't involve the Blackstone Territory."
