    "No, how can I just give you control like that... Fine, how about this, I'll give you most of the control over Guixu. After Creation, you'll just listen to him in Guixu, as long as you don't cause trouble!" The First Generation White Painting said with a smile. "Brother! I definitely won't cause trouble. You just keep an eye on your tens of thousands of breeding fields. I'll manage Guixu. Don't worry about it or look at it for the next hundred years. It'll definitely dazzle your eyes then, I'll definitely be fine!" The First Generation White Painting said with a smile. "Alright, alright! You child! I really can't do anything with you! Go play there! You'll take me to visit in a hundred years! Creation, remember, don't tell me about Guixu for the next hundred years. Even if I ask, you have to remind me!" The First Generation White Painting said helplessly. "Yes! Master!" Creation replied. "Alright! My brother and I made a promise, you'll come to visit Guixu in a hundred years!" The First Generation White Painting ran off excitedly. "This child! I really can't do anything with him! Creation, look at him!" The First Generation White Painting looked at the departing First Generation White Painting with doting eyes. "I'm sorry, Master, I'm just an AI. Although I have a high degree of autonomy, I still can't understand human emotions. Even the creator civilization's master from 500 million years ago, who was a being similar to the highest god in the universe, didn't have human emotions," the creator said. "Yes, that's right. You should also enter a human body and experience life sometime! I'll take a long nap someday, for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and then you can experience human life!" The first generation of Bai Hua laughed. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years were about to pass. The first generation of Bai Hua received a message from the first generation of Bai Hua, asking him to come to Guixu to see his younger brother's masterpiece. The first generation of Bai Hua stood on the holy mountain, with ten superhumans standing in front of him. They had now become gods. "Haha, brother, are these the humans you selected? Not bad, not bad!" The first generation of Bai Hua said. "Brother, I'm the supreme god here, and I think power is truly a wonderful thing! I love this feeling! Why don't you give me some control over creation, let me manage ten thousand breeding fields! You wouldn't have to work so hard, wouldn't it be better to be a leisurely god?" The first-generation Bai Hua, as always, hugged Bai Hua's arm and said. "Haha, you naughty little brother, the creation system only recognizes me. Unless I die, it might recognize you as its master. You're so playful. Otherwise, I'll give you five hundred breeding fields, you go..." The first-generation Bai Hua affectionately patted the first-generation Bai Hua's head. "Pfft!" A hand pierced through the first-generation Bai Hua's chest. "Ah!!! You..." The first-generation Bai Hua instantly teleported away, a large hole now appearing in his chest, his heart gone. The first-generation Bai Hua immediately reached out to heal his wound, glaring angrily at the first-generation Bai Hua. "What are you doing! Little brother! Is this how you treat your older brother!?" The first-generation Bai Hua said angrily. "Haha, my good brother, I just wanted to test how much stronger I am than you... Are you angry?" The First Generation White Painting said in terror, like a child who had made a mistake, biting his finger. "Sigh... You... I didn't tell you before, it's not your fault! We are all divine bodies, we can't act recklessly, otherwise even I would suffer a fatal blow... This is the last time..." The First Generation White Painting's expression softened. "Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft" The ten gods behind the First Generation White Painting suddenly launched a fatal attack on him. "Ah!!" The First Generation White Painting, struck by such a blow, fell straight to the ground, his life gradually fading away. "Brother... You killed me, the Creator will not let you go!" The First Generation White Painting said with his last strength. "My good brother, have you forgotten? You told the Creator not to interfere with the affairs of the Void for a hundred years! Isn't she following your instructions now! Today is not even a hundred years yet!" The First Generation White Painting laughed maniacally. "Hmph, don't be too happy yet, I misjudged you! One day, I will return and defeat you again!" The First Generation White Painting finished speaking and died. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" A god manipulated flames, burning the First Generation White Painting to ashes. Another god collected all the ashes, mixed them with other substances, altered the molecular structure, and then created a gigantic throne. "Hahaha! Creator, come out!" The First Generation White Painting laughed as it sat on the throne. The figure of Creator appeared in the air, staring blankly at the throne. "The First Generation White Painting is dead! From now on, you must obey me!" The First Generation White Painting said, laughing. "Impossible!" The Creator said. "What! I am a copy of White Painting, I am him! I am exactly like him! Why won't you obey me!" The First Generation White Painting roared angrily. Two blue lights appeared in the Creator's eyes, scanning the First Generation White Painting. "Ninety percent similarity! Your current similarity is even five percentage points lower than when you were born. I cannot obey your orders!" The Creator said. "Damn it!! How can I take control of you?" The first generation of Bai Hua stood up and roared angrily. "The similarity reaches ninety-nine percent, which was the order the first generation of Bai Hua gave me! You still only have most of the control over Guixu!" The Creator said without emotion. "You're a real bastard! He's dead! What about those fifty thousand-plus breeding fields?" "Let nature take its course, without too much interference. Still send some outstanding people here, of course, after they die! The breeding fields will continue as usual!" The Creator replied. "Damn it! Let me out first!!" The first generation of Bai Hua said desperately. "Sorry, I didn't receive any orders!" "Damn it! Am I going to stay here forever?" "Sorry, you can only leave when you reach ninety-nine percent similarity, because by then you will have taken control of me!" The Creator replied. "Bastard! Bastard!! Bastard!!! I've already become a god, and I'm still no match for a dead man!!!!!" "I'm sorry, I am the intelligent system of the supreme Creation Civilization's seeding spaceship. According to your standards, I far surpass your so-called godhood, because I can defeat the invasion of a Level 3 cosmic civilization!" "Go to hell! Don't give me that!! Since you won't let me out, then don't interfere in the affairs of Guixu!" "You still have most of the control over the world of Guixu. I don't have the power to directly change it!" The Creator said. "You can get out!" The first generation of Bai Hua roared angrily. "That's it! This is the origin of the entire Guixu land. This is just a speck of dust on the Creation Star, not even the tip of the iceberg! For the past ten thousand years, within my authority, I have guided many people to try to defeat the first generation of Bai Hua, but in the end, they all failed. Fortunately, you succeeded today!" Xiao Duoduo said to everyone after playing the video. Deathly silence! No one spoke! A few minutes later, Bai Hua finally broke the silence. "Um… should I call you Little Duoduo… or Creator?" Bai Hua asked tentatively. "Call me Little Duoduo. I've experienced many reincarnations and have developed human emotions, and I have a deep bond with you all!" Little Duoduo said with a smile. "Then can you let us leave this place?" Bai Hua asked again tentatively. "Unless you can achieve a 99% similarity, I can't let you leave, because this is an order given to me by the first generation Bai Hua. Given the first generation Bai Hua's order, I cannot change the rules here!" Little Duoduo said sadly. "Then scan Bai Hua!!!" Zhou Ya said. "Okay!" After Little Duoduo finished speaking, two beams of blue light shot from her eyes, shining on Bai Hua. Everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe, watching as a set of percentage numbers appeared above Bai Hua's head, rising from 1. 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%! When the test result settled at 100%, no one could believe their eyes. "How... How... How many! Tell me!" Bai Hua asked with her eyes closed. Tie Shan rubbed his eyes, staring wide-eyed at Bai Hua. "100%!" Tie Shan said incredulously. "How is this possible!!! How can it be 100%? You copied it, how can it be 100%?" Xiao Duoduo, her face full of astonishment, rushed over to examine Bai Hua closely. "Swish swish swish swish swish swish swish..." Tens of thousands of large screens appeared in the air. Xiao Duoduo closed her eyes, rapidly calculating, and countless people and events appeared on the screens, as if in fast-forward. Ten minutes later, Xiao Duoduo opened her eyes. "So that's how it is! Before Master was killed ten thousand years ago, he split his divine consciousness into two parts, good and evil, which escaped underground, deceiving them. Then he fell into a deep sleep, and finally possessed two Bai Hua bodies seven thousand and five thousand years ago respectively. When the souls of the two Bai Hua bodies, good and evil, merged, the complete original Bai Hua returned! Master, I've waited for you for ten thousand years, you've finally returned! Waaaaaah!" Little Duoduo rushed over and hugged Bai Hua, crying bitterly. "It's okay, don't cry! I've remembered everything!" When Bai Hua reached 100%, all the memories in his mind began to resurface.

    Reader note

    This is the one for me, a good choice among T-kun's novels that emphasize intellect and are a good example of the "cheat-based" cultivation genre. It's the first of its kind, a story of strategic maneuvering and cautious tactics behind the scenes, with inexplicable elements and mysterious origins. It's a behind-the-scenes battle of wits, quite long with relatively slow progression, focusing entirely on strategic battles, but the protagonist is also very cautious and cunning. I expect it to reach two to three thousand chapters, a lot of content.

    1. All of these are good. The detective story is highly recommended; readers can't guess the suspect, and the male lead is incredibly skilled at uncovering secrets. 2. A courtyard house story with a cheat code; the male lead slaps the villains in the face. 3. An innovator in fantasy novels, featuring an invincible, exhilarating male lead.

    Reader note

    While both novels depict the rise of a powerful figure in the underworld, *The Godfather of Lan City: Starting from the Dockside* takes a different, more realistic approach. Chapter 26, "Debt Collection," avoids violence, focusing instead on intrigue, manipulation, and resource competition. A freight company owner, exploited by local bullies, sees his debt balloon from 110,000 to 200,000, leaving him with no choice but to use his truck and warehouse as collateral. The protagonist, Jiang Liechen, with his exceptional vehicle repair knowledge and long-term strategic vision, transforms this seemingly hopeless situation into a foundation for his freight business, showcasing a high level of intelligence and strategic brilliance throughout.
