   The first book is purely online game-based, without any fusion elements, containing online game content and a small touch of urban life. The second book is set in a parallel world; the protagonist is a member of the Dimensional Alliance and can travel between various dimensions. Currently, his wish is to kill the White-Haired Girl (who killed his grandfather and nearly killed him; if it weren't for a black-clad man from the Dimensional Alliance saving him, the protagonist would have died before chapter 10). The third book is also set in a parallel world, featuring urban supernatural abilities. "The 'Ji' is an evil spirit born from the residual turbidity at the birth of each parallel world, seeking to conquer all worlds. "The Ji has existed since ancient times, conquering countless parallel worlds over endless years, leaving corpses strewn everywhere and all things wailing. Until hundreds of years ago in our current world, a meteorite fell from the universe, and everything changed." "This meteorite was called the 'Primordial Crystal.' It granted the humans of this world the ability to travel between parallel worlds, and those with exceptional talent could gain immense power to resist the invasion of the 'Ji.' Such individuals were called 'Ji Masters' at the time. "However, the number of 'Ji' was too great, so the Ji Masters had to seek support from other parallel worlds, finding others with similar talents to bring to this world, training them to become Ji Masters, and expanding their ranks. "The Ji Masters from various parallel worlds united to create an alliance to resist the 'Ji'—the Nine Realms Bureau. They named our current world 'Nanke,' and the original worlds of the Ji Masters from other worlds their respective 'Peach Blossom Springs.' They also gradually systematized and formalized the training of Ji Masters. "Even so, the 'Ji' remained unexpectedly powerful. People could only resist but not kill them, and the situation worsened. Until 102 years ago, a powerful figure named Mr. Xia emerged. His extraordinary talent, combined with the Nine Realms Bureau, killed the first 'Ji,' and the Ji Masters officially became Ji Exterminators. That year was called the first year of Nanke." "The fourth book, need I say more? The fifth book, well… multiverse, and the protagonist is just a simulation created by the twin AIs for ultimate correctness. The sixth book, urban superpowers. Spiritual abilities are divided into three main categories, or three phases: physical phase, dharma phase, and mystical phase. Physical phase refers to the enhancement of a specific physical function, such as great strength or extremely long-range vision. Dharma phase refers to the enhancement of intelligence, such as photographic memory or extremely high intelligence. Mystical phase refers to all sorts of bizarre abilities, which are closer to superpowers. In terms of phase proportions, physical phase accounts for about 60%, dharma phase 30%, and mystical phase 10%. Of course, a very small number of people have two or even three phases, but mystical phase cannot appear alone; it must appear simultaneously with other phases. The three phases are: physical phase (round mouth), dharma phase (square mouth), and mystical phase (hook)."
