In the wave of fantasy fairy tales full of immortality, time travel, and counterattack routines, "The Great Dark Sky" is like a breath of fresh air. It goes in the opposite direction and proposes that "everyone in the world will become immortals, but I want to be a human being." The unique setting is eye-catching. In the book, a young man gets a mysterious slate by chance, but refuses to become an immortal. He firmly protects the mortals and the people who cannot cultivate. His responsibility and persistence in the ordinary are completely different from the common pursuit of immortals. Through delicate descriptions, the author shows the struggle and growth of the young man in the guardianship, allowing us to see ordinary strength and extraordinary feelings. It is a book worth reading and can break the inherent perception of fairy tales.

The novel opens with the legend of "Tian Jue Peak". Over millions of years, countless powerful people have strived to reach the top and become immortals. The legend of Xuanming Tianzun's emergence has made this mountain a symbol of the great road. But the appearance of the protagonist completely broke this "internal scroll of cultivating immortality" - a young man carrying nine bundles of firewood and breaking into the Baoxin Mountains with a slate book. What he cared about was not the ascension, but the folks in Xiaoqiu Village who were unable to practice. The core idea of ​​"everyone in the world will become immortals, but I want to be a human being" instantly gives this work a firm foothold among similar fairy tales, using mundane smoke and fire to fight against the nihilistic pursuit of immortality. The author does not pile up a complex training system, but focuses on character growth and emotional characterization. From obtaining the slate book by chance to practicing his original intention in the Eight Wastelands and Liuhe, every choice made by the protagonist closely adheres to the belief of "preserving the mortal world", and there is no rigid plot of upgrading for the sake of upgrading. The writing style is smooth and concise, which not only retains the heroic spirit of "climbing to the top of the mountain and I am the peak", but also gives the story a moving emotional weight through the delicate description of the village elders and friends in the world. As a masterpiece of fairy tales in serialization, "The Dark Sky" redefines the connotation of "Tao" with the artistic conception of "drunken in the mortal world and dreaming, and the mortal world turns into Tao and heaven" - not the cold and cold road to immortality that is isolated from the world, but the path of human cultivation with care. For readers who are tired of simply defeating monsters and leveling up and pursuing story depth, this work is worth following. Highly recommended!
