    I've spent over 3000 hours reading this book on this platform. It's a slow start but a great finish, and the later plot really amazed me. Remember, no one is on the same side as the protagonist, and there is absolutely no female lead. If you think there's a woman who looks like the female lead, don't worry, she'll die within 100 chapters, and she'll be completely annihilated! There's no system in the book yet, and the author has clearly stated that it's similar to the schemes of some supreme powerhouses.

After all, this is what Master wanted me to discover in time!" Lin Tianyu replied cooperatively. "Oh! Why do you say that?" Kong Hua asked directly.
