Synopsis

Zombies overrun the land, and demons run rampant.

Humanity's living space keeps shrinking, bringing it to the brink of extinction.

At the moment of despair,

The Ascension Dragon Tower descended from the heavens, transforming into countless copies to protect humanity.

At the same time, something called Soul Pearls appeared.

By undergoing trials inside Soul Pearls, people could master mysterious powers and gradually fight the demons on equal terms.

But absorbing a Soul Pearl carried a high risk of death.

Only Ji Chu...

When he absorbed a Soul Pearl for the first time, he was shocked to discover

that the incomprehensible writing everyone else saw was actually ancient Chinese seal script!

In the trial of Borrowing Arrows with Straw Boats, others barely escaped with their lives.

Ji Chu completed it with ease, even getting the soldiers to shout, “Chancellor, I understand now!”

In the trial of Setting Fires to the Beacon Towers to Fool the Lords, others worked diligently to govern and aspired to become wise rulers of their age.

In the end, they failed.

Ji Chu indulged in wine and women, savoring every moment, and still earned a transcendent rating that others could only dream of.

In the trial of Mending the Sheep Pen After Losing a Sheep, others saw a hole in the pen and hurried to patch it up.

Ji Chu: “Pleasant Goat, Pretty Goat, Lazy Goat...”

“Hey, where did Force Goat go?”

“Sure enough, simps don't get the house.”

When other people entered Soul Pearl trials, they had no idea what was going on and struggled just to survive. Afterward, they even lost their memories of what happened inside.

Ji Chu not only knew the stories by heart and completed the trials with ease, but also retained his memories afterward.

For everyone else, a Soul Pearl trial was a matter of life and death. For Ji Chu...

It was no big deal!

Yet as the secrets of the Ascension Dragon Tower were gradually revealed,

Ji Chu suddenly realized...

The Ascension Dragon Tower had never come to protect humanity at all!!!

It's pretty good, but the female classmate who likes the male lead has too much presence. She's weak, indecisive, and always chattering around him. Luckily, the male lead doesn't pay her any attention. Also, the Apocalypse Cult is portrayed as too powerful. If the protagonist didn't exist, wouldn't humanity have perished?

The article is alright, but it's a bit short.

It's great! And author, you actually predicted the essay topic perfectly! [Shocked][Shocked][Shocked][Shocked]

This is really well-written 😘😘 It's the type I like. I hope it's without a female lead 😭😭. If there really has to be a female lead, I'd prefer the "domineering flower" character. Although she's not as strong as the protagonist, she's not a woman who completely needs protection in battle, and she has her own opinions. Finally, I hope the author continues to write well! 😘😘😘

It's alright. The vocabulary is a bit weak, but the story is fresh, the characters are well-developed, and the plot twists are good. Some characters' expressions are a little mindless, and the villain's background and treatment feel forced, lacking a clear purpose. The protagonist is somewhat invincible and mature.

This is a really good book! Has the rating not gone up yet? Lots of idioms and their meanings and stories. Looking forward to updates! 👍👍👍

Simply put, it is Why are Soul Beads set up? To allow the human body to experience the spirit within. Once you understand how Suirenshi invented fire by drilling wood, you'll understand human creativity and ambition. If you truly grasp this, you'll be closer to becoming a strong person.

Although the writing style is so-so, it suits my taste perfectly. [You'll see.]

This is a pretty good book. While enjoying an exhilarating read, you can also learn about Chinese classical allusions and idioms. The plot is well-developed and has twists, but the ending feels rushed and is only briefly mentioned. Overall, though, it's a great read and worth recommending!
