    In this suspenseful urban fantasy, I've discovered something in this world that can prolong my life—the breath that spirits refuse to let go of, the constellations on the compass that have been stolen, the secret techniques that sages pursued with their lives, the millennia-long schemes of emperors... Among the three religions and nine schools of thought, beyond what is recorded in history, have you ever considered that history and mythology have another interpretation—the first time, infused with mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts, giving rise to spirits and strange tales; the second time... Why do living beings refuse to bow their heads to their obsessions? Is there still hope beyond the laws of heaven? Since ancient times, saving the world has not meant eliminating the extraordinary; today, choices must be made with caution from the very beginning.

    These two books are really good. Both are new releases with strong openings and much greater potential. There aren't enough readers yet, so let's increase the intensity! The first one is an unconventional post-apocalyptic story; so far, it seems to have no major flaws. The author has put in the effort, the pacing is good, and the writing and plot are fine. I watched this book go from no rating to 8.0, Mostly five stars, a few four stars, and I haven't seen any below three stars. In summary, if it doesn't falter later, it'll be a classic. The second book has a large and complete world-building. The author is now focusing on quality over speed; it's not a wish-fulfillment story, and there are no invincible characters. The pacing is also quite good. In summary, the author's original intention remains unchanged, making it a classic.
