   A crimson mist descends, apocalypse arrives, and humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain; plants and animals mutate and evolve wildly. The protagonist, by chance, gains the unique talent of the "Undead Body," embarking on the path of a puppet king who sustains himself through war. While others struggle to survive in the apocalypse, he leads his undead army to sweep across the world, resisting invasions from other races—lava centipedes crush the earth, six-armed demonic apes tear the sky apart, and blazing feathered eagles incinerate the clouds. This is the story of an ordinary person becoming a ruler of the dead, reshaping order in a world on the verge of destruction. "My puppets are my laws."

    Reader note

    This book had a powerful aftertaste, leaving me deeply moved and unable to shake it off for a long time! Bai Yin's ordeal was truly unimaginable. In the zombie apocalypse, the annihilation of humanity, the decline of morality, and the law of the jungle were vividly displayed. There were indeed those who upheld justice in the book, but they were ultimately just faint lights in the darkness, unable to illuminate the entire gloom—some for their children, some for themselves, and some for all living beings. Does this make them saints? I don't think so. When humanity hasn't been completely extinguished, anyone might make such a choice. But after experiencing much suffering, one might become indifferent and detached, yet the undying light in their heart remains, but that's all it does. Human nature is inherently complex; when the shackles binding morality are broken, the deeply hidden ugliness is magnified infinitely! I sincerely recommend everyone read this!

    I wholeheartedly recommend a historical epic of power struggles—*The Descent of the Emperors*—with zero flaws, no plot holes, incredibly strong logic, and a remarkably positive overall perspective. The book's greatest strengths are its stability, righteousness, and realism. There are no mindless power-ups, no idiotic villains, and no melodramatic or clichéd storylines. From establishing a foothold in the Western Regions to gradually expanding its territory by land and sea, reforming its internal affairs, and strengthening its nation, all developments are gradual, logical, and well-founded. Every step of its hegemonic ambitions is grounded in reality, and every reform is consistent with the logic of the times. It's a truly upright and grand work.

    The story centers on the protagonist, Tianlin, and unfolds a gradual struggle over identity, dignity, and protection. Tianlin, as portrayed by the author, is far from a stereotypical "domineering CEO." He possesses a mysterious identity and a reserved, profound personality. In the treacherous power struggles of a wealthy family, he must contend with the open and covert attacks of rivals like "Ninth Young Master," while also navigating the starkly contrasting allure of Youzi and Sister Zhao. This precarious existence, dancing on a knife's edge, and the agonizing dilemmas he faces within an emotional vortex, imbue the character with tension and realism.

    2026, the AI apocalypse. The old human order crumbles under the impact of the technological singularity. When everyone possesses the power to destroy the world, when trust collapses, order crumbles, truth is annihilated, laws cease to exist, memories disappear, souls are reset, genes are edited, consciousness is replaced, faith is forgotten, obsessions are erased, creation occurs from the void, thoughts are generated, the world is reversed, civilization is tarnished, and the right to interpret history falls into the hands of each individual. Human civilization heads towards self-destruction in the dark forest competition between individuals. Computing power replaces gold as the hard currency, energy and models become the highest priority, and algorithms and weights are hard-coded in everyone's consciousness. This is a story pieced together by a person who has completely lost all memories in the AI apocalypse, amidst a sea of fragmented and confused memories. Past, present, future—who ultimately determines whose reality? Is the real world we live in truly the real world? Xu Shilian, a typical "three-waste youth"—no house, no car, no savings—finds a black brick in a garbage dump—it is the sealed "Ancestor of Wisdom," Bai Youzhen.
