   At first I thought it was a female channel, but then I saw that other people were recommending male channels. I haven't read much of this book yet. The writing is good and the plot is rich. The male protagonist travels through time and begins to cultivate immortality by chance.

The supporting characters do not use brainless wisdom to set off the male protagonist. Each has his own calculation.

   As pollution overturns the world and civilization reverberates, the tragedy of the 13th era is intertwined with the story of the protagonist exploring the mystery in the womb. The protagonist goes from an orphan in the old world to the king of weapons. This is the journey of an ignorant boy in the new world. The world view is grand, the power system is novel and perfect, the portraits are group-oriented, and each character is very vivid. It is a magnificent masterpiece of fantasy micro. Not a harem, not invincible, not time travel. Some people criticized the first volume as being brainless. Whose protagonist is in one step? Isn't it reasonable to have a growth process?
