    "Qi Yu Qian Nian" is actually quite old, but the writing is delicate, the story is coherent, and the reader is very immersed. Personally, I feel it's comparable to "The Taoist Priest is Not to be Trifled With," and it's worth recommending.

    This book is amazing! Over a million people have read it!! The protagonist, Zhang Bo, is reborn two hundred years in the future, in the year 1132 of the Star Sea Calendar. Humanity is using the game "Universe" to expand into new star systems. This time, he didn't choose the Death Ray Sniper, but instead chose a Taoist priest. His Five Ghosts Transporting Talisman absorbs the intelligent mainframe of a military base, and his Armor Talisman enhances the shield defense of starships. His Bean-Scattering Soldier technique evolves mechanical soldiers to god-like levels, and his Six Armor Divine Weapon Talisman subdues the planetary AI. He can even create an antimatter furnace to devour stellar energy. The entire mechanical technology civilization is incorporated into his weapon-forging techniques, and mechanics worship him. In the Star Sea Era, gods gather, and Taoist priests are revered!
