   Reader note

   The endless journey to immortality is not worth an inch of fireworks in the human world. Being a god for eternity is not as good as staying true to your original intention. Su Chen is an ordinary person with no system, no bloodline, and no backing. Prove the Tao with an ordinary heart, become a god with love and justice, and shake the power of the Nine Heavens with the body of a mote of dust. The ancient veins of Cangwu hide all the secrets, and the remaining soul whispers to guard the world. The sword spirit accompanies the chess game, the spiritual formation reaches ancient times, and the Holy Spirit touches the earth. The four of them are of the same mind and do not envy immortals, do not kneel to heaven, and do not admit defeat. The Immortal Court regards mortals as ants, so it uses ordinary fire to suppress the evil spirits of the immortals; the way of heaven regards ordinary people as humble dogs, so it uses its original intention to determine the universe. Don't play around with people who want to break off the engagement, and don't follow any clichés. High IQ layout + ancient style of poetry + feelings of family and country + philosophy of worldly affairs. From a tiny fire in the mortal world, to illuminating the human world for eternity. After going through all the tribulations in the world of mortals, he returns - not an immortal, but a mortal immortal. As long as the fire is not extinguished, I will be undefeated. The world is worthy, and the world of mortals can be preserved.

    History, classics, novels. Maturity is a kind of bright but not dazzling brilliance, a kind of calmness that does not need to judge others, a kind of atmosphere that finally stops complaining to the surroundings, a kind of smile that ignores the noise, a kind of indifference that washes away the extreme, and a kind of solidity that does not need to be announced.
