   All fit the theme, but not necessarily the best; the main focus is on avoiding potential pitfalls. The first book primarily involves the second personality killing, while the first personality is ungrateful. It's somewhat cannibalistic, sometimes consuming human parts, like 🫀 (a type of animal). The second book features a younger sister who doesn't appear much but drives the plot. The third book involves overpowered abilities. The fourth book is clickbait. The fifth book seems to be a harem novel.

   Su Xiang is a born villain, a master of acting, flexible and adaptable, ruthless and bloodthirsty, devoid of conscience. In his world, anyone can be manipulated. The agonizing cries of his enemies are the most beautiful music to him. He believes in the supremacy of strength, willing to sacrifice everything to reach the top. He is devoid of family, emotions, and any sense of obligation. He abandons pride and superfluous feelings to climb the ladder, so ruthless that he'll even scheme against his own life and dignity. Every conflict reveals his cunning and shrewd nature. Any provocateur will face a hundredfold retribution, with insidious methods and unwavering vengeance. There is no romance! No "wife-chasing-after-the-crowd" scenarios! He lets his strength speak for itself, refusing any mercy.

   The protagonist's creed: Discontent? Kill! Angered? Kill! Disliked? Kill! One person not enough? Exterminate the entire clan! Maximize profit, maximize satisfaction. From personal revenge (annihilating powerful clans) to battlefield dominance (killing the Qiang King), from controlling the court (bloodbath in Luoyang) to vying for supremacy (annihilating all heroes), then to defying the heavens (annihilating sects), and finally reaching the pinnacle (shattering the void). The goals constantly escalate, the scale of slaughter expands, and the sense of crushing power intensifies. Every major breakthrough (body tempering → qi condensation → true essence → qi transformation → supernatural powers → domain → dharma form → shattering the void) is accompanied by slaughter (annihilating clans, killing chieftains, tearing apart Lu Bu, burning Luoyang, destroying feudal lords, slaughtering sects, sacrificing the world).

Actually, it's a mass summoning of transmigrators to possess their bodies! All the young people of the tribe become vessels for wandering spirits, while the original owners are completely annihilated. Our protagonist, Zhao Riqiancun, is reborn. In his previous life, he was hunted by transmigrators for 300 years. In this life, he returns to the eve of the soul-summoning ceremony, watching his tribesmen being possessed one by one. He's not only unfazed, but even a little amused—because this is the moment he's been waiting for. The most ruthless target of the hunt is his "seven-star full-aptitude" genius brother, who is also possessed by a transmigrator after the ceremony. The two brothers, one a reborn demon, the other a wandering spirit, put on a show of acting face-to-face, calling each other "brother" and "younger brother," but actually wanting to smash each other's brains out.

    Zhang Xiaoding's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, his beady, rat-like eyes darting around as he waited for nightfall. The burly man was still asleep, clearly exhausted and aching. Zhang Xiaoding climbed onto the wooden bed, stood on his hind legs, and fixed his gaze on the cultivator. Zhang Xiaoding had witnessed beasts fighting in the mountains, always biting at the point where their heads and necks were joined. Perhaps due to his height and build, Zhang Xiaoding possessed this instinct, and he bit down. The rat's teeth were sharp, piercing the skin instantly. The cultivator felt no pain, but within seconds, he felt a cool sensation on his neck, stood up dizzy, and collapsed, bleeding profusely. (Carotid artery severed) Zhang Xiaoding had no concept of life or death, only knowing that the red blood under the rat's legs was excellent food. With each inch he licked, Zhang Xiaoding's appetite grew. Once the blood had congealed, Zhang Xiaoding began to devour the cultivator before him, but the more he ate, the more he wanted to eat. His own eyes gradually cleared, and colors began to appear. I felt my blood flowing smoothly and my strength was great.
