   "Ten Days to the End" is a suspenseful and supernatural novel written by members of the insect killing team. It tells the story of the protagonist Qi Xia and nine teammates' reincarnations of life and death in the End of the World. The story begins when ten people wake up in a mysterious interview room after being killed by an apocalyptic earthquake and are forced to participate in a life-and-death game. After arriving in the dilapidated city in victory, he learned that he needed to collect 3,600 "Tao" within ten days, but he got caught up in the divine power struggle between Tianlong and Qinglong. As his teammates sacrificed one after another, Qi Xia awakened the supernatural power "Echo" at the moment of death. Four days later, Qi Xia's reincarnation restarted, and he discovered that he led the people to overthrow the divine power seventy years ago but was sealed. The truth reveals that the Land of Ending is a forbidden place copied by upper-level people to create gods, and Tianlong betrayed the original intention. Qi Xia spent decades as an Aries, but before reaching the top, he chose to give up his position as a god and return to reincarnation to break the many shackles. In the final battle, he lured Tianlong into a dream, sacrificed himself to send his teammates into the ideal world, and stayed alone in the lonely final place. Chu Tianqiu's "continuous life" became the only hope. The suspenseful foreshadowing of his wife's identity runs throughout. Chu Tianqiu, the phantom Yu Nian'an and his secret admirer Xia Hou may all be the incarnations of his lost love. This fateful tragedy spanning seventy years, with a grand narrative intertwined with reincarnation and redemption, directly touches the depths of human souls searching for meaning in despair.
