Fifteen minutes after I transmigrated, the school doctor was prying open “my” eyelids to check my pupils, with a death certificate in the pocket of their white coat. The good news is that I came back to life. The price was that I'd lost it forever. But gradually, I started to feel that something was off. My sweet, adorabl 14Reads—Score—Shelves

    No female lead, a path of slaughter. I can't describe how much slaughter it is. It's my own book, and my writing isn't great. I hope to find more like-minded people. It's okay if you don't like it. My books haven't been rated yet. Leave a one-star review so I can experience the feeling of a bad review. Infamy is still a kind of fame. At least I had a reputation. I like reading "Immortal Venerable," "The First Seeker of the Dao," "The Glory of Nesseril," and "The Soul of Negri." I revere you like a god. This is just filler to reach the word count. It's just some casual chat for the Tomato Mission. These are inappropriate opinions, and I need to criticize them. Looking back on 20 years of glory, I miss it very much. It's a pity that Tang Ren was wiped out, leaving us all without a trace. We were just one step away from the golden age of dark fantasy. The rise of dark fantasy was already a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately, the real person fell. One battle to become a god, refining Douyin, and four years later, refining Qidian. One book, two Venerables fighting two Emperors, fighting alone against the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly People. The Heavenly People are not like the people outside the Heavenly Court. Right and wrong are not fate.
