    In *The Legend of Black Hole*, the characters' abilities are categorized into seven levels, based on the concept of a seven-level cosmic civilization. Level 1, or planetary level, involves the ability to shatter a planet with a single punch and possess the energy of a nuclear reactor within their bodies, roughly equivalent to an atomic bomb. A representative figure is a terrestrial deity about to ascend to heaven.

Representative figures include Nezha, Erlang Shen, and Tuoda Tianwang, as well as most deities imagined by ancient people, including Western deities. Level 3, galaxy level, can destroy a galaxy with a single blow and possess the energy of a black hole reactor within their bodies. Representative figures include a Black Hole version of Super Sun Wukong, upgraded versions of Hongjun Laozu, Bodhi Patriarch, and Yu Yu Fairy. Level 4, galaxy cluster level, also known as the level of tens of thousands of galaxies, possesses the ability to destroy several galaxies and possesses energy exceeding that of a black hole, capable of escaping a black hole and traversing a wormhole. Representative figures: Rabbit Dundun, Majestic Tiger Frog, and the early stage of the Grand Commander of Cangyuan. Fifth level: Cosmic level.

Nana, Chen Qian'er, and Wang Xiaoqiang abandoned their discarded whips, all believing the poor child was about to perish! But at the critical moment, when his life hung by a thread, the seemingly frail and terrified Wang Xiaohu suddenly radiated a soft light, as faint as morning mist and as bright as shattered gold. His skin, flesh, and bones instantly hardened like millennia-old steel, and his body sank as heavily as a lead ball! Yuanshi Tianzun felt a sudden weight in his palm, an overwhelming force surging upwards from his knuckles. Even with his profound cultivation as one of the Three Pure Ones, his fingers were stretched so tightly they couldn't close, his knuckles cracking, a tingling, numb pain shooting through his shoulders and arms!

Completely unharmed, the shock left Yuanshi Tianzun's palm numb, forcing him to stagger back three steps, standing frozen like a wooden statue. His previous arrogance and ferocity vanished, leaving only a dumbfounded, speechless expression, as if his soul had been ripped from his body!

While others toil away farming, he lives a comfortable life while lying down—and incidentally becomes a legendary figure in the surrounding area.

    This novel perfectly blends official history, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and orthodox mythology, drawing upon the culture passed down from our ancestors. It avoids unrealistic or contrived writing, and all elements are supported by ancient texts. It seamlessly connects historical court intrigue with the ferocious beasts and ancient deities of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Dragon Vein Mountain arc is high-energy throughout, with combat power and settings entirely based on the ancient texts—no drastic alterations, no mindless action, no illogical plot points, and no dull moments. The foreshadowing is deeply woven, the political intrigue is intellectually stimulating, and the fight scenes are visceral. If you're looking for something authentic, culturally rich, and respectful of historical accuracy and the Classic of Mountains and Seas, this is the book for you. It's a rare gem among online novels—a truly conscientious work that genuinely captures the essence of traditional Chinese culture!

    With hundreds of thousands of readers, the first book features a live-streamed popular science section on ancient Chinese classics, monsters, a single female lead, two incredibly powerful protagonists, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and various folk customs. The research is meticulous and the book is hilarious. The second book, "2024: The Tide is Coming, the Traveler Keeps Watch on New Year's Eve," is a new book by a pseudo-abbot. The third book explores a parallel world where the protagonist inherits a scenic area! He's even bound to an NPC system!

Qin Shi Huang performs a circus act, Li Shimin plays the Qin King's "Breaking the Formation" music, Zhu Yuanzhang begs for food, Lu Ban builds the scenic area during the Tianqi era, and Li Bai and Su Shi recite poems and act cool—historical figures intertwine and collide.

    I want to specifically praise the "numerical drama" in this chapter. The number 21.4% Has appeared repeatedly in previous chapters, always increasing, and readers have become accustomed to the idea that "it can only get worse." But in this chapter, with the author's insightful commentary, it shrinks from 21.4% To 20.9%. The author writes, "The withered roots curled back from the edge, shrinking a little bit each time, until finally stopping." It wasn't wiped out all at once; it only shrank by 0.5%. This "stingy" reduction is actually more realistic—even the most brilliant commentary is just scraping off scraps, enough to seal the wound but not cure it completely. This kind of numerical design is a million times more believable than "a quick fix and the disease is cured."
