   These books all have amazing beginnings. They don't have a system; they rely on their own talents. In the first book, the protagonist kills ghosts by following the internet connection. In the second book, the protagonist starts as a little beggar with five fiancées, one of whom is a nine-tailed fox. The protagonist is also incredibly strong. The third one is also good, but the protagonist is a bit like a "rogue" 😂 (The first book has a low rating, but it's really good. Trust me, everyone).

    The screams of Shang Wuyai being dragged into the void after the underground palace collapsed still echoed in the air, and the island in the middle of the lake was in chaos. The three remaining cauldrons trembled violently, cracks spreading across their bodies like spider webs, and black energy gushed out from the cracks like blood. "The underground palace is collapsing!" Shi Man pulled up his injured arm and pointed to the collapsing dome. Huge boulders fell from above, crashing into the lake and creating towering columns of water. Ye Zhi Qiu quickly collected the scattered fragments of the inscription: "We must preserve this information!" Chen Guan, however, stared blankly at the lake surface. At the whirlpool where the phantom of the Heavenly Coffin had appeared, the lake water formed an eerie, still mirror. Through the water, he could vaguely see the reflection of the Yu King Stele—although the physical body was shattered, the reflection was intact. "The inscription... Is in the water!" Chen Guan exclaimed. The scrolls in his arms were burning hot, the characters transmitting a powerful summons as if electrocuted. He leaped into the lake. The instant he touched the water's surface, a miracle occurred—the lake water, like crystal, cradled his body, and the complete reflection of the Yuwang Stele appeared beneath the surface. The text in the reflection was clearer than the actual text, and much of the content had been erased. "Danger!" Ye Zhi Qiu and Shi Man shouted simultaneously, but it was too late. Chen Guan's hand touched the underwater reflection of the stele. In that instant, the entire spacetime seemed to freeze. Collapsed boulders hung suspended in mid-air, splashing water droplets froze like pearls, and Ye Zhi Qiu and Shi Man moved as slowly as snails. Chen Guan's consciousness was pulled into a vast torrent of information. He saw the scene at the beginning of the universe: order and nothingness, like yin and yang fish, mutually generating and restraining each other. The Heavenly Emperor divided the clear and the turbid, not to eliminate nothingness, but to establish boundaries for the world. Nothingness, like the shadow of order, could not be eliminated, only balanced. "Nothingness is necessary..." An ancient voice echoed in Chen Guan's consciousness, "It is the price of creation, the backdrop of existence." The scene shifted, revealing the truth of Yu the Great's flood control: the root of the floods was the fluctuation of boundaries, the infiltration of nothingness. The Nine Cauldrons were not merely for suppressing water, but for balancing boundaries. And the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin was the ultimate valve for regulating this balance. "But some have misunderstood the true meaning of balance." The voice turned sorrowful, "They see nothingness as an enemy, wanting to eliminate it as soon as possible; or they worship nothingness as a god, wanting to welcome its arrival. Both extremes will lead to destruction." The scene changed again, and Chen Guan saw Shang Wuyai's fate—he was not dragged into pure nothingness, but into a distorted rift between boundaries. There, order and nothingness intertwined madly, tearing everything apart and rebuilding it, condemning him to eternal damnation. "The coffin of Heaven's Suppression has chosen to manifest, signifying that the balance is on the verge of collapse," the voice warned. "The contract is imminent, and sacrifice is inevitable. But what to sacrifice, and how to sacrifice, is the choice in your hands." The flow of information was overwhelming; Chen Guan felt his consciousness being torn apart. Just then, the characters of the scriptures formed a shield, protecting his core consciousness. "Inheritors of the scriptures, remember: the true enemy is not nothingness, but imbalance. Saving the world is not about eliminating the shadows, but about learning to coexist with them." The scene dissipated, and Chen Guan returned to reality. Time resumed its flow, and the boulder crashed down! "Watch out!" Shi Man lunged forward, pushing Chen Guan aside. The boulder grazed past him, shattering the mirror-like reflection on the water where he had just been. The lake water surged back, forming a whirlpool. Ye Zhi Qiu shot out a grappling hook, securing the three of them: "We must leave immediately!" The entire underground palace was like a colossal beast awakening; every stone was shaking and cracking. The Nine Cauldrons exploded one after another, and black energy lashed out like tangible tentacles. "Which way?" Shi Man cleared away the falling rocks; their original path was completely blocked. Chen Guan's scroll pointed the way: "Follow the opposite direction of the black energy flow!" He had just realized that the collapse of the underground palace was a chain reaction caused by the imbalance of the Nine Cauldrons' energy. The black energy flowed deeper into the earth's veins, while the path to survival lay where the energy was scarce. The three of them ran swiftly along the lakeshore, the underground palace collapsing behind them. As they passed a pile of ruins, Chen Guan suddenly stopped—the black token engraved with "Xuanming" was half-hidden among the rubble, emitting a faint light. He picked up the token; it was icy cold to the touch. "This way!" Shi Man discovered a crack, "It's a natural passage upwards!" The crack was narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time. Shi Man led the way, Ye Zhi Qiu followed in the middle, and Chen Guan brought up the rear. After crawling for about a hundred meters, light appeared ahead. The exit was behind a statue in an abandoned river god temple. When the three of them emerged, it was dawn, and the rising sun dyed the Yellow River golden-red. Looking back at the exit, the ground was collapsing, the River God Temple collapsed with a roar, and was quickly swallowed by mud and sand. The ancient ruins of Yu the Great were completely buried underground. "We... Succeeded?" Shi Man slumped to the ground, unable to believe that she had survived. Ye Zhi Qiu checked the equipment: "Strong seismic waves were recorded, but strangely, the surrounding area was only slightly damaged." She looked at Chen Guan thoughtfully, "It's as if some force controlled the scope of the destruction." Chen Guan gripped the token and the scroll in his hand tightly. The information he had sensed before the collapse of the underground palace was still churning in his mind: nothingness is the shadow of order, the Heaven-Suppressing Coffin is the key to balance, and the upcoming sacrifice will determine the fate of the world. "What did Shang Wuyai mean by 'seed' before he died?" Shi Man suddenly asked. Chen Guan and Ye Zhi Qiu exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes. Was the fact that the Priest of the Breaking Illusion Society was so easily backfired really just an accident? Or... Part of some larger conspiracy? The rising sun fully leaped over the horizon, and the Yellow River shimmered with golden light. But all three knew that beneath the surface calm, undercurrents were surging. The next stop guided by the scriptures will be the search for Xuan Gu Zi, who knows the truth. Meanwhile, the "Xuanming" token in Chen Guan's arms is slightly warm, as if waiting for something. The underground palace exploration has come to an end, but the real mystery is only just beginning to unfold.
