   This is a male-oriented novel whose title doesn't do it justice. It features a dual-soul system, parallel universes, a soul power cultivation system, a single romantic pairing, and everyday urban life. It's a light suspenseful fantasy set with a fantastic urban fantasy element, and the content is captivating! ① A mechanic has a martial god from another world residing within him, their two souls intertwined, creating an identity crisis and suspense. ② Parallel universes + modern technology + ancient martial arts techniques – a truly imaginative concept. ③ He's usually socially awkward, but in times of crisis, a powerful figure takes his place, a master of feigning weakness to outwit his opponent. ④ A single, clear romantic pairing – the male and female leads are 1v1, with a well-defined and straightforward love story. It touches on family, friendship, and love, offering heartwarming everyday urban life without being overly dramatic or melodramatic. ⑤ The pacing is fast-paced, without dragging or filler, each chapter is engaging, making it impossible to put down. The somewhat cheesy title, "Don't Mess with Me, I Have a Martial God Inside Me," is nearing completion; you can add it to your bookshelf to follow the ending.

Even more bizarrely, the composition of spiritual energy, the physiques of cultivators, and the methods of Core Formation are all quite different from what he knows about the cultivation world. Therefore, he decides to cultivate discreetly while secretly investigating the truth. Little does he know that he is gradually uncovering the deepest secret of this world—a shocking secret concerning the survival of the entire universe.
