Do Not Touch My Bottom Line

"First, let me state my position."

Lin Fan calmly said, "I will not offend others unless they offend me. As long as no one offends me, I am a law-abiding citizen."

"But if someone is going to do something, believe me, Seventh Vice Minister ... no one on Earth can stop me."

Although he remained calm, his words carried an undeniable air of authority.

boast?

I'm not exaggerating!

Golden Core Mid-Stage —this level of strength is already invincible on Earth. He's not even afraid of Barrett before his endurance runs out!

Other, even more powerful large-scale weapons? But they still need to be able to hit people. The passive effect of the Heaven and Earth Grand Deduction Art is not just for show; the passive effect of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is also very useful.

Besides, even if you arrange a large number of Barrett or something, does that mean Lin Fan is just a sitting duck, standing there getting shot at without knowing how to move or fight back?

"Therefore, under this premise, you don't need to worry that I will do anything to harm the people or the country."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Lin Fan smiled.

The Seventh Vice Minister pondered for a moment, "So, what can you do? What do we need to do? And what are your conditions?"

Then, he looked up and stared directly at Lin Fan: "Since it's a collaboration, everything should be laid out on the table, otherwise it's all just empty talk."

"Moreover, we should be given an explanation for the huge changes and negative impacts caused by the restoration of spiritual energy."

"Otherwise, let alone cooperation."

I guessed it.

Lin Fan nodded. "Then, let's go through it step by step."

Since it's a negotiation, it should naturally look like a negotiation, right?

First, we need to finalize the general strategy, and then discuss the relevant details...

1. What can I do?

" With the Spiritual Qi Revival, the average lifespan is two hundred years. All the changes you are seeing now, and all the changes in people like the Old Celestial Master, Old Chen, and Zhou Xiaoran, will become the norm after the Spiritual Qi Revival."

"I don't need to elaborate on the benefits, do I?"

2. After all the changes occur, how to eliminate the negative impact...

"I'll give you a general overview, and you can just listen to it."

"First, hospitals and doctors will lose a huge portion of their jobs because there will be very, very few patients after that. In addition, some related professions will also lose their jobs..."

"I believe you can solve the problem of resettling these people. After all, some new professions will emerge after the Spiritual Qi Revival."

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Vice Minister nodded slightly in agreement.

indeed.

If there are no patients, what's the point of having doctors and nurses? At the same time, many other professions will certainly become history.

But the resettlement of these people is not a major problem.

If Earth truly becomes a cultivation world, new professions and new jobs will naturally emerge...

"Therefore, what you are most worried about is the issue of stability and control."

"But..."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's not so easy to cultivate immortality. You need both hard work and talent."

"Not only that, could someone really be so naive as to think that having spiritual energy means they can cultivate immortality? Without cultivation methods, how can one cultivate? They're just ordinary people with healthy bodies..."

"Then what about those with established lineages like the Celestial Master Residence?" The Seventh Vice Minister grasped the key point.

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, "I haven't finished yet! If we cooperate, I can provide you with some quick-to-learn and relatively powerful cultivation techniques. You can choose some loyal subordinates to train in advance."

"At that time, even if some bad guys come out who want to cause trouble, you can easily suppress them."

"Simply put, it's just that ordinary police officers have been replaced with 'immortal-cultivating police officers,' and nothing else has changed much."

Lin Fan paused slightly at this point.

What will happen if Spiritual Qi Revival?

Could it be that some people actually believe that there are cultivators everywhere, Heretical Cultivator all over the place, and then the whole society just collapses?

Without cultivation techniques, how could he possibly cultivate anything evil?

Besides, Lin Fan couldn't possibly allow that situation to happen...

Why should the Dao not be lightly transmitted?

The fear is that it might be passed on to some unscrupulous people who might cause trouble and kill people. If that happens, the preacher will have to bear the Karma!

Lin Fan wanted to earn some merit, so how could he possibly do anything reckless?

So, to put it simply, what Lin Fan wanted was... the Spiritual Qi Revival, but for society to remain stable!

Moreover, it has great benefits for ordinary people. First, it increases lifespan; second, they are almost immune to illness and won't have to pay a large sum of money to the hospital after a serious illness, and so on...

Is this good or bad for ordinary people?

Of course it's good!

The Seventh Vice Minister remained silent.

Lin Fan saw through his worries, shook his head and whispered, "A quick-learning technique is enough to give you sufficient control in the short term, and during this period, I will not allow the technique to become widespread."

"After a period of time, we will gradually spread the techniques, but your strength will always be a whole realm or even more higher than the general public."

"Besides, how many talented people does the government actually have?"

"The longer it goes on, the more stable your... will become."

At this point, Lin Fan's gaze turned deep. "I can even offer a promise that you will all embark on the Immortal Path. At the same time, within a certain period of time, if anyone dares to misbehave against you, I will make him disappear. How about it?"

"..."

The Seventh Vice Minister gave Lin Fan a deep look. "I've noted down what you can do. What do you need us to do? Tell me your conditions."

"Firstly, my parents are alive and well and I do not want to be harassed by anyone."

Secondly, I need electricity.

The Seventh Vice Minister were taken aback.

Old Chen was also somewhat taken aback.

"Electricity?"

"This thing..."

The Seventh Vice Minister were genuinely confused.

Is there a power shortage in China right now? Not really. After all, it's not like those years when the power supply couldn't keep up.

"A large quantity?"

"Very big."

Lin Fan looked at Old Chen...

"If we were to set up many such arrays across the entire land of China, how much electricity would we need?"

"The entire land of China?!"

Old Chen's lips twitched. "... There are so many it's frightening."

"I reckon even two regular Nuclear Power Plant might not be enough, and that's without even considering backup power..."

Seventh Vice Minister: "???"

Two Nuclear Power Plant aren't enough? If we add backup power, wouldn't we need to prepare more than five Nuclear Power Plant?

What are you trying to do?!

He was somewhat frightened.

It's no wonder Lin Fan wanted to cooperate with the authorities; this is something that ordinary people can't produce, nor do they have the authority to do so.

He hesitated slightly. "What... exactly do you want to do?"

Lin Fan smiled and didn't hide anything, "I draw upon the Power of the Heavenly Stars and transform it into spiritual energy!"

This was the solution he and Qi Zixiao had discussed.

The earth has no spiritual energy, and the Dragon Vein seem to have been broken or abandoned for one reason or another.

Even if the Dragon Vein is repaired, it will require a large amount of spiritual energy and a considerable amount of time to 'reactivate' it!

So, how did they obtain such a massive amount of spiritual energy?

It can only be drawn from Beyond the Heavens!

It draws upon the Power of the Heavenly Stars, descends upon Earth, and then transforms into spiritual energy...

Over time, even without the Star Power, the Earth can generate its own spiritual energy.

But the first step is to set up several huge formations!

First, attract the Star Power to fall.

Secondly, a transformation array is set up to convert the Star Power into spiritual energy.

Finally, use Spirit Gathering Array to 'retain' this spiritual energy.

This means that three major formations need to be deployed throughout the country...

And this is only the most basic level.

For example, the Array Foundation needs protection, right?

How to protect it?

Manpower? That would be too wasteful, and it might not even be enough to protect them. So we have to set up formations to protect them. And once we set up formations, how many formations are there?

Two Nuclear Power Plant aren't enough?!

This was only because Old Chen managed to scare the Seventh Vice Minister; that's an understatement. Otherwise...

A long silence followed.

The Seventh Vice Minister stood up, looked at Lin Fan, and slowly said, "I have noted your proposal and the details of the cooperation, but I cannot make this decision alone. I need to go back and discuss it."

"Certainly."

Lin Fan extended his hand. "Please go ahead."

"However, there's one thing: don't cross my bottom line."

"For example, if they want to take action against me, or test how strong my abilities are before making a decision, I can accept that."

"But don't touch the people around me, or no one can bear the consequences. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Is this a case of hiding something in plain sight?

No.

For Lin Fan, only in this way could he concentrate all the firepower on himself...

"We're not that dark."

The Seventh Vice Minister shook his head and smiled, "However, I do have a small problem."

"You said before that the formations are spread throughout the entire Divine Continent, so what about the places outside of the Divine Continent...?"

"I don't have that much energy."

Lin Fan smiled.
