    😂This novel about survival is a breath of fresh air in the world of cultivation! While others are busy vying for the title of prodigy and seizing opportunities, the protagonist, Lu Qing, focuses on "surviving is victory"—using his skill to avoid danger and dodge all pitfalls. While others are full of vigor, he is cultivating; while others are reduced to ashes, he transcends to the boundless realm. He embodies the aesthetic of "disaster always one step behind me," a kind of effortless victory. After reading it, all I can say is: the path of survival is the ultimate secret of cultivation!

    The first book was about immortality and survival, but it turned out to be about cowardice. It claimed to be flexible and adaptable, but after taking revenge, the protagonist lived in constant fear, running away multiple times and faking death several times. Meanwhile, the female supporting characters always seemed to like him for some reason. Was he outstanding? Pshaw! I found it inexplicable and utterly insane. The second book, however, was written by a fraudulent author! He promised to let me write my fictional name into the Fourth Calamity, the "Silly Player"! And what happened? He hasn't appeared yet! I was even planning to give him daily rewards, haha. He always sets up unnecessary plot points, with a hidden mastermind lurking behind the scenes.
