It's so good!! Absolutely ruthless and decisive, a true "cool" novel, truly self-centered, and unlike other novels where the protagonist's party is always full, this protagonist completely exploits his teammates for personal gain, disregarding the lives of others. He's selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless—a truly satisfying read from beginning to end. In all my years of reading "cool" novels, I've never seen such complete selfishness, such undisguised power, and such dominance from start to finish. Highly recommended!!!

    Reader note

    The protagonist's body, refined to resemble a crane, is now a real red-crowned crane, possessing the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin. His mental state is similar to that of Danyangzi, the ancestor of all evil, who has even refined the Heavenly Dao. He enslaved millions as laborers, with Celestial Kings and Celestial Emperors serving as his servants, building statues for him. He even removed his own internal organs and planted them underground in the Five Elements positions, corresponding to the Five Qi Converging at the Origin. He then chopped off two heads and placed them underground, transforming them into two different consciousnesses, which he then devoured, becoming a three-headed monster. For alchemy purposes, he can extend his neck by billions of feet, and his mouth can transform into a black hole to devour everything.
