He originally believed that "stoking is the kingly way". He was not greedy for wealth or power, but only wanted peace and success. But a sudden "Krypton Life Immortality System" completely broke this stability and made his "living" more and more difficult.
Without the system, he could lie down and live with peace of mind; with the system, he had to live in fear all the time - the system gave him the possibility of immortality, but it also bound him to fatal rules. Every life extension and every promotion would be at the expense of lifespan. If he was not careful, he would die. His goal has never changed and he is still trying to survive. However, this subsistence life has changed from "living a stable life" to "walking on thin ice", which is contradictory and extremely realistic.
The system warned him that there should be no weakness or love on the road to immortality. Only by cutting off the seven emotions and six desires can he go a long way. But he just couldn't do it. In the cracks of survival, he accidentally moved his heart and became a prisoner trapped by love.
On one side is the life-and-death line drawn by the system, and one must survive to the extreme, exchanging life for life; on the other side is the care that cannot be let go of in the heart, knowing that falling in love is a disaster, but is willing to accept it.
He doesn't ask for the blessing of heaven, or the mercy of immortals and Buddhas, he just wants to live one more day, and take a look at the concerns in his heart; he doesn't worship heaven and earth, he doesn't pay homage to immortals and Buddhas, he only prays to the kryptonian life system that can keep him alive or destroy him.
It's hard to live forever, it's even harder to survive, and it's even harder to live for love - this is Lin Yan's road to immortality.
