   2026030907🔥🔥🔥 I'm recommending the traditional fantasy novel *Ling Tu* for three reasons! First, this is my own fantasy world as a veteran fantasy reader, and what I've written might be exactly what you're looking for. Second, it features a completely new progression system, spanning from Earth to Mars and then to endlessly distant cultivation worlds. The protagonist, like myself, drifts through life, experiencing countless disappointments. While frustrating, this reflects the reality of most people's lives, and I hope everyone avoids living in a mindless, self-indulgent fantasy. Third, I've been writing this book for three years, currently at 2.87 Million words. Although there haven't been any recommendations, I want to truly complete this story without regrets; it's a deep-seated conviction. The call to action has sounded; we await your arrival!
