    Traditional fantasy novels are generally very long, requiring the construction of a complete world-building, which demands patience from readers. However, these books typically don't perform well academically; they either start well but the plot collapses later, or they're simply abandoned or discontinued. Therefore, readers often hope to have a book to read on a long, drawn-out basis. Take a look at this one, though. It's well-written and already has a million words. Even if the numbers aren't impressive, it aims to tell everyone a different kind of fantasy world!

As a novel focusing on the mortal realm, it made me realize the preciousness of human relationships once again.

    Traditional fantasy ~~The Legend of Fengdu~ Please try it! [Attention] ~~ ... Zhang Xuanyi seemed to remember something and pressed on, "What did the Emperor of Fengdu address you as before?" The Black and White Impermanence brothers blushed upon hearing this, exchanging bewildered glances. Black Impermanence suddenly snapped angrily, "Boy! Why are you asking these questions? Don't ask again!" Zhang Xuanyi scratched his head, even more confused. He ignored them and walked to the table, picking up a bronze mirror to examine himself. The mirror reflected a completely different face, drastically different from the Zhang Xuanyi he had seen before. However, to his relief, as Black Impermanence had said, it was still a handsome face. Zhang Xuanyi nodded, then turned to look at Black and White Impermanence, shaking his head before blurting out, "Do you still have that disguise pill?" "Hmm?... Yes, you just took it. Why are you asking again?" White Impermanence asked, somewhat puzzled. Zhang Xuanyi chuckled awkwardly, "Um... You two look too terrifying! How about... You two take one too?..." "Boy! You've gone too far!" Black Impermanence roared in anger! He leaped up and delivered a sharp rap on Zhang Xuanyi's head! "Ouch!—" Zhang Xuanyi let out another scream...

    I hope all my godparents will take a look at this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is truly amazing. After reading the second chapter, feel free to criticize me if you don't like it. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to read it. I, Tianjiao, would like to thank all my godparents and give you all a big thank you. Content: The spiritual energy and monkey power within Chen Tianhao surged forth from his body, forming a pillar of light that shot into the sky, blasting away all the surrounding rubble into dust. Holding the Dinghai sword, he pointed into the air, shouting, "Spell—Eight Directions Thunder!" A gigantic ape phantom several meters tall suddenly appeared behind him, its body radiating a violent aura from the ancient wilderness. The giant ape, wielding a staff formed from the power of a spirit monkey, pointed it into the air. Countless bolts of lightning, as thick as pillars of heaven, descended from the sky, converging on the staff! As Chen Tianhao shot forward, the giant ape's phantom simultaneously swooped down, the staff, crackling with endless lightning, sweeping across the surging cultivators with overwhelming force! "Boom!" The heavens and earth fell silent under this blow. Countless cultivators were sent flying into the air by the staff, their bodies twisting and contorting in mid-air, the cracking of bones shattering echoing everywhere. Then, thousands of bolts of lightning exploded from the staff, instantly blasting those flying through the air into charred remains, which shattered upon impact, emitting plumes of smoke.
