    Reader note

    A demonic cultivator, without a system, a cunning and ruthless sixth brother, decisive in killing. This book leans towards a dark cultivation novel. The protagonist, for survival, will stop at nothing to stay alive. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood are inevitable. The protagonist's character is vividly portrayed. It reflects the treacherous nature of the cultivation world, where only fellow cultivators are sacrificed, and a cautious approach is paramount. When faced with a challenge, if not through direct confrontation, escape is the best option. The story is unconventional. The protagonist is intelligent. Although the story has some flaws, they do not detract from its overall merit. While ruthless in the struggle for the Great Dao, a sliver of compassion remains.

    After reading novels for so many years, this is the first time I haven't read it for free; I've already given a tip. You'll thank me after reading the first 10 chapters. Here you'll see battles between the supernatural, superpowers, gene sequences, cultivators, angels, and more—all completely non-contradictory. The characters are decisive, intelligent, and the female lead isn't a naive or innocent character. Her screen time is just right.
