   The first book is an ensemble piece, without a female lead. It's about a group of people who create two different factions; it's a bit funny. The protagonist is extremely protective of his friends, and the group is very united—not mindless at all. The second book is also an ensemble piece. The protagonist transmigrates to a world full of beasts. Is the transmigration really a transmigration? The protagonist goes from an ordinary high school student to taking on the responsibility of an organization, experiencing various difficulties. Everyone has their own answers; it's very exciting, with everyone trying to save or destroy the world with their own perspectives. And it seems like everyone is right.

    Lei Bin, carrying Lan Can and with Xia Ke'er's help, stumbled to where Huo Funi was hiding the motorcycle. After waking Huo Funi, she appeared on the motorcycle's screen, this time wearing an exaggerated retro dress. She immediately became excited upon seeing Lei Bin. "Oh my, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you forever! You know what? Just now, there was a little bird..." Lei Bin quickly waved his hand, interrupting her incessant chatter. "Huo Funi, I need you to remove all restrictions and get us back as fast as possible." He and Xia Ke'er then helped Lan Can onto the motorcycle seat. Huo Funi sensed Lei Bin's urgency, and her clothes suddenly transformed into those of a racer in riding gear. "Then hold on tight." However, when she saw that the person Lei Bin had helped onto was Lan Can, she couldn't help but wonder. "Huh? Why the change? Where's that handsome white-haired guy?" Lei Bin, already wearing his helmet and straddling the motorcycle, twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle roared off. Lei Bin then answered her question. "He'll be alright! Let's go home!" The motorcycle, its red taillight trailing behind it, roared through the ruins and sped across the Gobi Desert. Xia Ke'er, sitting at the back, reached out and tugged at Lei Bin's clothes, holding Lan Can firmly in the middle. Lei Bin felt her hands still trembling. He knew she always pretended to be strong, but she was ultimately just a little girl, and the kidnapping by Gu Lin had still left her reeling. Lei Bin reached out and placed his hand on her trembling hand. He didn't say anything, just gently squeezed her slender hand. Xia Ke'er immediately felt much more at ease, and her trembling hands slowly calmed down. ----------- The battle in Noah City made those there feel the despair of an apocalypse once again. Countless points of light lit up the sky, like a sky full of stars, but those "stars" were gradually approaching the earth. As they drew closer, everyone realized that those points of light were not stars at all, but giant silver swords, falling from outer space, breaking through the atmosphere, and crashing into Noah City amidst the scorching heat of the sky. Gu Yao watched as the massive swords, falling like meteorites, rained down from the sky. He decisively pointed one finger to the heavens, while a ball of black flame erupted from his other hand, which he then tossed to the earth. Instantly, a beam of light descended from where his finger had pointed, and a colossal goddess statue gradually became clearer in the hazy light. On the other side, after the black flame merged with the earth, an armored arm extended from the ground, followed by a war god clad in black armor emerging from the earth. These were Gu Yao's war god weapons—the Apocalypse Divine Domain and the Dark War God. Gu Yao merged into the colossal goddess statue within the Apocalypse Divine Domain, and the statue immediately radiated an unprecedentedly dazzling light. The Apocalypse Divine Oracle raised its scepter, and a dense golden light emanated from the gem within the scepter, spreading in concentric circles, like ripples spreading across water. The countless silver giant swords in the sky slowed down under the dazzling golden light, their descent diminished. Immediately afterward, Gu Yao merged into the black martial god. The colossal martial god gripped its sword hilt, seemingly gathering power. Then, with a swift draw, a massive katana was unsheathed, its power tearing through space into a sword aura that ripped through everything, instantly destroying several silver giantswords in the air. Following this, a continuous barrage of sword auras erupted. The black martial god's movements were so fast they left afterimages, like a madman wielding a whip, instantly destroying more than half of the silver giants in the air. Just as all the giantswords were about to be destroyed, they all simultaneously dissipated into a cloud of gas, but the chilling atmosphere remained undiminished. Then, a colossal martial god clad in silver armor emerged from the clouds. His wide cloak seemed capable of obscuring the entire sky. A clock-like circular ring floated behind him, each hour hand on the ring a uniquely shaped sword. He descended slowly from the sky, carrying an overwhelming pressure, landing behind Bai Chen. The impact created a massive crater in the ground, its powerful aura instantly sweeping across the entire Noah City. Before the newly arrived white war god stood two war gods summoned by Gu Yao: the black warrior and the Oracle of Revelation. Gu Yao merged into the black warrior's body, and the black warrior's face became his own. He stared at the white war god before him and said, "..."

    All three are rated 9 points or higher. The protagonist, Jin Feichen, has many nicknames, but his strength is not to be underestimated. It's a team-based story with a touch of humor, and it's super enjoyable. The chemistry between the protagonist and his friends is unparalleled—each has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the protagonist isn't perfect. —The second book de-emphasizes the protagonist a lot in the middle, focusing more on the ensemble cast and a slower pace. Those who enjoy this style can check it out. —The first book, while lacking a female lead and featuring a strong ensemble cast, is just average, though it does have one. The writing style is rather amateurish.

    ① If you love action-packed ensemble casts, don't miss this! The battlefield of Zhenyao Pass is never just about the main character: a hot-tempered captain wields his axe to cleave down a giant beast, a seemingly weak strategist uses his wits to trap and kill demons, and even a cook can pick up a kitchen knife to protect the grain cart. Every character has their own highlight, and the plot is exhilarating and straightforward. You'll be thrilled by their passion while also being touched by the warmth of the ensemble cast. It's worth staying up all night to watch!
