Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Spring arrives with frequent rains, all things flourish with life, and it is the season for people to sow, cultivate, and weave.

The celestial phenomena, however, were disordered and chaotic.

[Whether it's a drought that dries up the river, a flash flood, or an earthquake that rages...]

[The people, who had lost their ability to be self-reliant and relied on their labor to harvest food, became sacrifices to natural disasters.]

You and the old Taoist priest witnessed the suffering of the common people.

The two people and the cat were communicating less and less.

"In recent years, celestial phenomena have become increasingly disordered and reversed, making life difficult for people who rely on the laws of nature, and even leading to their demise..."

The old Taoist priest's expression was solemn.

[His position no longer allows him to merely look up in awe at celestial phenomena, but rather to witness the underlying rules and struggles within them.]

[A vast land, hundreds of millions of people.]

[The most neglected, ignored, and forgotten existence.]

The old Taoist priest stood on the parched, cracked earth, where the air itself seemed to simmer with heat, making it scorching to breathe.

[Sizzle...]

He held lightning in his hand, his pupils tearing arcs of electricity, and gazed up at the sky.

[The posture of looking up reveals a commanding, overlooking gaze.]

[Boom! B ...

The sun shone brightly, its rays scorching, and the sky, covered in dark clouds, was suddenly struck by a bolt from the blue.

Endless dark clouds surged in, blotting out the sun.

[Splash...]

Thunderclouds are brewing, a strong wind is rising, and a moist atmosphere is spreading.

In an instant, a torrential downpour poured down, nourishing the earth and bringing life back to life.

[Your broken eyes see through.]

[It was discovered that the old Taoist priest not only used thunder magic to alter the timing of the heavens, but also used the power of thunder to quell the chaos of the rules.]

[To thoroughly restore peace to the people.]

Cheers erupted from all directions as people emerged from their huts, craning their arms to gaze at the sky.

The rain moistened their chapped faces and lips.

[Greedily absorbing the sweet dew bestowed by heaven.]

Xu Kun crouched on the ground, sensing the surging emotions around him.

[From the previous silence, despair, sorrow, and helplessness.]

[Now it is full of vitality and hope.]

[And the root of it all was just a rainstorm.]

Can we survive just because it rains?

Of course not.

With rainwater irrigation, we can sow seeds, cultivate crops, and weave.

But with the harvest day so far away, how will we survive until then?

For the people who are cheering and kneeling in gratitude to Heaven at this moment, none of this matters.

【because……】

They saw hope; as long as there was something to look forward to, they could be strong and resilient, gritting their teeth and living on.

What the old Taoist priest bestowed was not merely a rain, nor simply a stabilizing celestial phenomenon imperceptible to mortals.

Rather, it is hope.

You walked through the crowd and continued onward.

[They controlled the floods, suppressed the earth dragons, and eradicated man-made disasters...]

"Alright, I've demonstrated for you. Now it's your turn."

[A region experiencing drought again.]

The old Taoist priest stood with his hands behind his back, indicating that it was up to you to resolve this.

"Just you wait and see, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

You are more than capable of doing this.

He stepped forward, his black robe billowing as he stood.

Without the rank and authority of a seasoned Taoist priest, you can only cleverly utilize lightning techniques.

【The Four Realms are engulfed in chaos.】

[Your jade-like fingers hold the seal, controlling the raging thunder and lightning.]

[Sizzle...]

Dark light surged and churned in your clear eyes, while inky black lightning danced at your fingertips, drawing in the heavens.

[Boom!]

Thunderclouds surged and gathered, obscuring the sun.

Thunder, darker and more intense than the clouds themselves, surged and roared within them.

Suddenly, the old Taoist sensed something was wrong, frowned, and stared intently at the thunderclouds.

Dark clouds gathered, a strong wind picked up, and a moist atmosphere filled the air.

The black dragon winds its way across the land, meandering through the thunderclouds.

Sensing the approaching downpour, the people flocked out, filled with anticipation, excitement, and trepidation, awaiting the arrival of the timely rain.

[Splash...]

The drizzle gradually intensified, eventually turning into a torrential downpour.

【…】

[Witnessing the scene of heavy rain.]

The two of you, master and disciple, including the black cat, suddenly fell silent.

The cheers of the people echoing across the land were also silenced.

The rain poured down, black as ink, staining the parched earth black.

Black water seeped along the cracks in the parched land, gathering into a stream that meandered silently.

The water, so murky it was almost black, had no unusual smell.

How could ordinary people dare to touch it, let alone drink it?

"Oh, this..."

You look at your master with a look of seeking knowledge and inquiry.

As a result, the old Taoist priest used the "out of sight, out of mind" approach, avoiding your gaze and acting as if it were none of his business.

[Tsk...]

You tugged at the corner of your mouth, your eyes showing slight worry.

【Thunderous energy is filthy, you know that deeply.】

However, unexpectedly, the yin thunder triggered a physiological change in the heavens, causing rain to fall.

[It was even polluted and turned into black rain.]

[Logically, this shouldn't be the case.]

This is not scientifically sound.

You glanced at the people who were quickly making way for you, afraid of getting wet in the black rain, and your brow furrowed slightly.

[I fear this black rain will bring misfortune to the people, breaking their precarious existence.]

The torrential rain poured down, engulfing the land; how could the people possibly find shelter?

They were all soaked by the torrential black rain.

You see the people looking terrified, frantically wiping themselves off the black rain.

[Fearing that this eerie black rain might bring misfortune.]

The next moment, they were stunned and speechless.

[A body feeling prolonged hunger, dehydration, weakness, and extreme fatigue.]

All the negative states were actually reversed.

[A vibrant sense of life returns, weakness fades, and hunger disappears.]

[Then, disregarding the eeriness of the black rain, they experienced the most direct benefits from their physical condition.]

[Immediately kneel down, overwhelmed with gratitude.]

The people who had initially been hiding, seeing this, became suspicious and tentatively reached out their hands.

[Upon touching the black rain, I discovered that my physical condition was indeed improving. I immediately cast aside my fear and apprehension and fully enjoyed the blessings of the black rain.]

【Huh? Huh! Huh?! !!! ! ...

The old Taoist priest frowned, then raised an eyebrow, widened his eyes, and slowly opened his mouth...

【"Meow~"

Xu Kun, crouching and looking up, was also surprised by the effect of the black rain.

[The dark, murky thunder caused the heavens to send down rain, which was then tainted and turned black.]

Those people tainted by the black rain who are not consumed by its corrosive effects, whose bodies decay and lives are ruined, are considered to have escaped a calamity.

[I never imagined I could actually benefit from the black rain.]

Clear away all negative states and rejuvenate with healthy vitality.

You were also taken aback, then controlled your expression, maintaining your posture, the corners of your mouth curving into an inscrutable smile.

[The broken mirror's gaze reveals the changes in the people.]

[Especially compare the changes before and after being exposed to black rain.]

[A large amount of data converges to form streaming analytics.]

A conclusion was quickly reached.

That's a comeback!

The negative aspects of ordinary people were directly distorted and reversed!
