   The first book shows the protagonist reaching the pinnacle entirely on his own merits, excelling in every aspect without any system. The second book also lacks a system; the protagonist is a deviant, skilled in corpse refining and wiping out entire families with a single move using the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. The third book is like a ferocious player-versus-player game. The fourth book features a cheat system, but it seems to accelerate growth; the protagonist could reach the pinnacle even without it. The fifth book has a relatively low profile, but the protagonist gathers a group of "normal" people and ascends the throne.

It has no female lead, virtually no friends, is decisive and ruthless in the cruel world of cultivation, and features a system-like cheat ability, which is acceptable. Throughout the story, both righteous and villainous characters are generally intelligent. The protagonist is weak in the early stages, and the constant map-switching is quite good. The protagonist also constantly uses aliases, changing one or more aliases with each new map. The protagonist only reveals his real name once throughout the entire story, and everyone who knew it died without affecting him—that's true cultivation. It combines a basic cultivation system with a prehistoric cultivation system, offering innovative details and interpretations of the cultivation system.
