The second one features a space-age ability user who transmigrates into the body of a baby girl with lightning spiritual roots; it's quite exciting.

   The female protagonist cultivates immortality; there's no romantic partner. She's incredibly low-key, possessing five spiritual roots, and very cautious. She constantly conceals her appearance and cultivation level, refusing to take a master or reveal herself. She usually disguises herself as an ordinary passerby, even impersonating someone else when robbing. She always carries thousands upon thousands of talismans, pills, and other equipment. I strongly suspect she suffers from a fear of insufficient firepower. A reborn woman is unaware that the female protagonist killed her, and then the female protagonist kills her again. In the extra chapters, she's even killed to the point of being unable to be reborn again.

    Reader note

    I like this book if it's low-key. The female protagonist is immortal; her strength is already formidable after a thousand years, but she always feels inferior to her former friends and firmly believes in the saying "there are always people stronger than you, and the sky is always higher than the earth." When faced with something she can't accept or bear, she chooses to give up, which feels very realistic.

    It's an ensemble piece; the female lead has no romantic partner, but there are many characters, each with their own unique story and personality. They're all incredibly likable. The plot isn't melodramatic, not Mary Sue-ish, and doesn't force any idiocy. The values ​​are very positive. You can watch it with confidence; it won't disappoint.
