    It was this book that made me read so many invincible novels. I gave up on them after a hundred chapters. But this one... Even at 100 chapters, the story felt like it was just getting started. High-level characters appeared early on, but the power levels were maintained perfectly in the middle. I don't believe it's by a new author. And... Don't guess the plot. Aside from the first five chapters being quite repetitive, it really takes off from there. You think it's going to be a rampage, and then the next second it tells you... That was your last time seeing your mother. Your mother killed you a dozen times because of your recklessness. It's incredibly satisfying. It's incredibly heart-wrenching. Explosive. Highly recommended. Seriously. Like watching a movie. So many epic scenes. The author loves to play with human nature. He's interpreting illogical rules and fantastical tales. He's imagining the consequences of your high-level martial arts skills going against power. Come read it. If you don't like it, come back and scold me.

As a 🌟🌟 new-era young person, Lin Bei's consistent principle is: Put aside personal manners and enjoy a 👍 immoral life. Refuse mental exhaustion; if something happens, just go crazy. Rather than wronging yourself, it's better to make things difficult for others.

    This book is really good. Just when I thought it was a traditional strategy novel, it surprised me by using supernatural beings to break my expectations. The protagonist, a supernatural being, plays the role of a god in various worlds. Even if others know that this god isn't quite right, they are still impressed by his power. This book is genuinely quite good.
