    This is a self-proclaimed dark fantasy novel with an ensemble cast. The protagonist, Zu Long, transmigrates to another world and rises from the bottom. The world-building is vast, with no simplistic plot twists. Many heroes and powerful figures are featured, but there are no major power struggles. Every step requires scheming and maneuvering. To reclaim the lost territories of the Qin Dynasty, he displays a tyrannical side, cold-blooded and ruthless, with a deep and calculating mind. He schemes for power and influence, even marrying an elder's daughter without doing anything to gain resources for cultivation. When resources are scarce, he steals from his classmates, disregarding friendship. To showcase his abilities and gain benefits in the martial arts tournament, he doesn't hesitate to harm the daughter of his clan leader who helps him. He hates assassins and is ruthless, even destroying flowers with deadly blows. One wrong move and he falls into the abyss, one wrong step and he becomes an ordinary mortal. He updates over 10,000 words daily, working over ten hours a day.

    Faced with the stagnation of spiritual energy on Blue Star, Qin Xuan took the initiative to break the deadlock: he found a smelter who could coexist with metal, and had him melt broken steel bars with his bare hands on the arena and turn the metal into armor to defend against attacks.

    The group exchanged bewildered glances, then sighed after a long pause. "So this is the secret of this maze?" The woman in the suit's voice still trembled slightly. "It should be! The passageways in Hall One extend infinitely. An ordinary person couldn't possibly find their way out in three or four days unless they discovered this secret at the very beginning. Otherwise, the further you go, the further you'll stray from the path of survival! Whether you choose left or right, you'll be endlessly looping, making it very difficult to return to the correct path!" Bai Hua explained in detail. "That's terrifying!
