Theme and tone
This book tells the story of a person who has been exposed to the truth, and how he chooses not to be deceived again when given a second chance - and whether he is still willing to be the "winner" when he peels off the skin of the world layer by layer and discovers that the power system he once believed in is itself a shackle. It is not a cool article about "from weak to strong", but a story about "cognitive war": In his previous life, Mu Changsheng thought that ascension was the end, but in the end, ascension was a prison; in this life, he will use the information gap gained from all the blood in his previous life to reversely dismantle the rules on the chessboard. The tone is cold and severe, with the loneliness and cruelty unique to the world of Xianxia - the mountain gate is majestic but the human heart is like an abyss, the spiritual energy is dense but there are hidden chains. Warmth only flashes among a very small number of fellow travelers, and every warmth comes with a price. This is not a warm story, but it is honest: when everyone breathes lies as air, insisting on asking for the truth is a kind of violence in itself, and Mu Changsheng is willing to be the one wielding the knife.
