    The first book is about a brute, muscles, ruthless domination, and decisive killing. Enough said, here's the synopsis: You're hindering my cultivation and becoming stronger, which disrupts my Dao heart! Disrupting my Dao heart is blocking my path! Blocking my path means I can't become a strong person! If I can't become a strong person, I can't go home! If I can't go home, my parents won't be able to find me! They only have me as their son, and they'll definitely be worried sick! I might not even have the chance to see them one last time! You're practically trying to kill my whole family! I, Ye Wen, have no grudge against you! You actually want to kill my whole family! Then I have no choice but to fight to the death! The second book is highly praised by readers, increasingly addictive, and is already completed. It's just pure enjoyment, everyone is silent after reading it, it's completed, no female lead, decisive killing, the whole story is about killing from beginning to end. The Imperial Guards, using imperial power, act without restraint, daring to provoke and kill, leveling up quickly. The ending involves regicide, fighting the BOSS, and then it's over, at least it doesn't change the map like a nested doll.
