    Wow, there must be me, Lin Du, she is really amazing. She is the junior uncle of the Supreme Sect. She changed her destiny against the will of heaven and asked the heaven and earth. She did all her tricks at the cost of not entering the reincarnation, just to change the fate of her sect and the disaster of the Dongming Realm. She was born with a heart of glass, and everyone said that she would not live long, but she changed her destiny bit by bit against the will of heaven. It is really hard not to be impressed by her perseverance. She said, "I am Lin Du, the ferry that ferry people across myself." Destiny tells me to save people from fire and water. If you don't pity me, then hire someone else. Observe the subtle things without being covered with dust, and have a glazed heart. She started at the end of time, and she should stand at the end of time and ask questions to the sky. Moreover, the author's logic is perfect. He is the kind of person who follows behind with his eyes on the story, and always buries any pitfalls. Lin Du's every advancement is a matter of course. He is not trying to concoct a plot, nor is he trying to highlight the protagonist by giving the villain a wit, or rejecting love. He is sober and powerful.

    These three books are all great, all three are really good to read. The first one is about ancient times, about the subjugated prince and the Buddha. The authors of the characters and plots are all great. I recommend reading it. The second book is about cultivating immortals. I really love the character of the protagonist. He is pure in desire and not blind. He puts himself first. I recommend reading it. The third book about cultivating immortals is very good. I don't know how to evaluate it. It's so beautiful and the characters are very unique.
