   "The Light Illuminates the Path" In the ancient, primordial era, interstellar colonists discovered this world. They attempted to colonize this beautiful and bountiful realm, but were hindered by the immense power of the gods. Therefore, they constantly instigated wars among the gods and established their faith by embodying light. Later, when the gods discovered the truth, it was too late, but they still rose up in resistance. Ultimately, both sides were severely weakened, and the gods perished, leaving only the Goddess of the Other Shore Flower. The interstellar colonists were reduced to a few remnants. The Goddess of the Other Shore Flower sacrificed her eternal freedom and entered the underworld, transforming into a sea of red spider lilies on the banks of the Sanzu River, illuminating the path of reincarnation… For millions of years thereafter, the Goddess of the Other Shore Flower and the interstellar colonists continuously cultivated agents, engaging in open and covert struggles. Each had their own objectives: the Goddess of the Other Shore Flower sought to cultivate new gods, while the interstellar colonists sought to establish a signal transmission station to summon their people. Millions of years passed, and finally, through intermittent signals, a small team of interstellar colonists once again approached the primordial world. Thus, this chosen one and his companions shouldered the crucial responsibility and mission of saving the world and ushering in an era of eternal peace. And so, the story slowly unfolds…

   2026022807🔥🔥🔥 I'm recommending the traditional fantasy novel *Ling Tu* for three reasons! First, this is my own fantasy world as a veteran fantasy reader, and what I've written might be exactly what you're looking for. Second, it features a completely new progression system, spanning from Earth to Mars and then to endlessly distant cultivation worlds. The protagonist, like myself, drifts through life, experiencing countless disappointments. While frustrating, this reflects the reality of most people's lives, and I hope everyone avoids living in a mindless, self-indulgent fantasy. Third, I've been writing this book for three years, currently at 2.79 million words. Although there haven't been any recommendations, I want to truly complete this story without regrets; it's a deep-seated conviction. The call to action has sounded; we await your arrival!
