    This book progresses rather slowly. The male protagonist is a romantic nihilist (never heard of that before, right?) And doesn't fall in love with every woman he meets like a womanizer.

    I recommend this book. It combines quantum mechanics with real-life cultivation, exploring how to awaken the soul and see the world from a new perspective. The book is divided into several chapters. The first two chapters are the father and son's perspectives on the real world and their insights, mainly laying the groundwork. The third chapter begins in the ancient Warring States period of the future era. The whole book revolves around the themes of "Who am I?", "Where do I come from?", And "Where am I going?", Including real-life cultivation, soul awakening, and strategic planning. It gets more exciting as you go on, but if you don't read the beginning, those with low comprehension will not understand the later parts.
