    Speaking of behind-the-scenes stories, I haven't actually finished many of Tomato's works in this genre, except for this one. Don't let the somewhat far-fetched title fool you (Tomato's books all have similar titles now). ✨Character Development✨: I can only say that the author handles the protagonist's presence very well in this behind-the-scenes story. After the initial stages, the main group begins to emerge, and the ensemble writing is excellent; the main characters truly resonate with the reader. ✨Plot✨: The plot is quite cliché: Earth is about to be invaded by the Celestial Race a few years later. The protagonist initially sells two cultivation techniques via livestream, then releases secret realms on Earth. Later, the main group travels to various worlds to help humanity, leaving behind one legend after another. Finally, I must praise the exceptionally well-developed characters!

    The protagonist acquires a system that allows him to forge extraordinary weapons. While outwardly appearing as an ordinary person in the countryside, he actually creates these weapons and releases them into the flow of time, leading to their discovery by an archaeological team. This process lures people towards the extraordinary, secretly orchestrating an era of spiritual revival.
