A fantasy novel with a fast-paced plot, time travel, cunning, and thrilling action. A grand scheme, constant plot twists, and a must-read. The protagonist is decisive and ruthless, preferring action to mere prowess. A truly exhilarating read from beginning to end.

So one day in 2021, he did the first good deed of his life: he saved a pregnant woman from being hit by a speeding car.

   I recommend these four books. ✨The first one: The protagonist, Li Yuan, gains upgrade points by defeating exotic beasts, then uses these points to improve his cultivation level and skill points. Since he maxes out each cultivation level, his powerful skills combined with his exceptional talent make fighting opponents of higher levels easy. ✨The second one: The protagonist, Xu Qiu, gains rewards by completing tasks, continuously increasing his combat power. He eventually acquires ten SSS-level martial souls and ten domains, and can also help others advance in their cultivation. The last two books are complimentary.

    Wang Yang, a PhD in modern literature, transmigrates to the Southern Qi Dynasty and becomes an unregistered resident. Facing a life-or-death situation, he doesn't invent gunpowder or soap; instead, he uses his essay on the authenticity of the *Shangshu* (Book of Documents) to engage in a heated debate with a group of scholars at the White Tiger Dojo, exposing the supposedly authoritative *Ancient Text Shangshu* as a forgery and shaking the court with his knowledge. On the surface, he's the composed and unassuming young master of the Langya Wang clan, but inside he's a frantic modern man frantically searching for classical texts—a veritable "walking encyclopedia of Chinese knowledge." When the protagonist overwhelms everyone with his erudition, it becomes clear that "those who fight against the noble are all thieves." And knowledge is the sharpest weapon for the lowly.

    Hundreds of millions of people wailed, wept, struggled, and died amidst the flames of war. Their souls, one by one, were forcibly extracted by the array's power, detached from their bodies, traversing Yin and Yang, heading straight for the Netherworld. They hadn't yet breathed their last, yet their souls had already left their bodies. They were still alive, but their lives had already returned to the underworld. First, collect the souls, then take the lives. Not a step more, not a step less. A perfect fit, without the slightest error. This is the rule of the Heaven-Locking Array. This is the destiny of the Eighth Phase. The moment the flames of the Eighth Phase ignited, the Netherworld was utterly on the verge of collapse. The Underworld, the place where Yin and Yang meet, the place of reincarnation, the resting place of souls, was governed by the Ten Kings of Hell, with Judge Cui judging life and death, underworld officials locking souls, and Meng Po severing past lives—orderly and unchanging for eternity. But from the Fourth Phase onwards, the order of the Underworld began to crumble step by step. The Book of Life and Death rewrote itself. The boundary between Yin and Yang was broken. Souls left their bodies prematurely. Reincarnation was completely chaotic.

    [Feeling wronged][Sending a heart][Stunned][Top post] The novel explores friendship, love, loyalty, courage, and sacrifice, showcasing the brilliance of humanity through the characters' growth and adventures. If one word could describe *Mercenary's World*, it would be "brilliant." It's like a fine old wine, the more you savor it, the better it becomes. The author, with his divine pen, has crafted a fantastical tapestry of vivid characters and gripping stories. Reviews are varied; some say it's like summer ice cream, addictive from the first sip. The story features various races, including humans, dragons, gods, orcs, elves, dwarves, berserkers, and giants, each with their own beliefs, culture, and history. The conflicts between these races form the main contradictions, driving the plot and creating numerous poignant war stories, with countless tales and vivid characters. The ending is filled with joy and sorrow, sacrifice, showcasing the complex emotions and fates of the characters in *Mercenary's World*. The ending is tragic. The war against the gods is a bittersweet story. Of the three male protagonists, one sacrifices himself, one goes into seclusion, and the last sadly heads to the realm of death, choosing to continue the slaughter and die alone in eternal solitude.

    This is a divine book! Tang Jia San Shao was moved to tears, and Tian Can Shi Dou was humbled by its inferiority. It must be one of the Four Great Classical Novels, absolutely the greatest masterpiece of the 21st century! *Sacred Ruins* falls short in literary elegance! *Battle Through the Heavens* falls short in depth! *Zhu Xian* falls short in emotion! *Covering the Sky* falls short in imagination! *Buddha's Creed* falls short in plot! A once-in-a-century classic of online novels! The greatest literary work of the 21st century! Even Luo Guanzhong, Shi Nai'an, Wu Cheng'en, Cao Xueqin, Confucius, Mozi, Laozi, Zhuangzi, Li Bai, Du Fu, the Three Su's, Xin Qiji, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizu of Song, Genghis Khan, Buddha, Plato, Copernicus, and Aristotle would praise it! The author's book is truly exceptional. The writing is fluent, the rhetoric appropriate, deeply imbued with the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and further develops the spirit of the Tang and Song dynasties to a profound degree. To have seen this book in my lifetime is truly my greatest fortune. After reading this book, I was overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of sorrow. Ah, such a wonderful novel! What if I could never read it again? What would I do? What would I do? Only after I unhesitatingly added the book to my bookshelf did my inner turmoil gradually subside. But then I immediately thought, wouldn't it be a waste of the author's hard work if others couldn't see such a good novel? After a painful internal struggle, I finally made up my mind: to sacrifice my own interests for the greater good. I will share this book review with the world. I will push this novel to the top, higher and higher! Until everyone sees it. When I walk between heaven and earth, under the blazing sun and the bright moon, I will ask myself: Is this novel exciting enough? Not enough? When I roam the rivers and lakes, with their vast expanses and rolling waters, I will ask myself: Is this novel thrilling enough? Not enough? When I walk atop the mountains, amidst magnificent palaces and celestial beings in the clouds, I will ask myself: Is the update schedule fast enough? Not enough! Not nearly enough! Not enough chapters, not enough speed, not enough content! Nothing is enough!

    Non-time-travel, non-rebirth, non-get-rich-quick, sweet, non-cultivation, non-tycoon romance novels. Break free from illusion; dreams will eventually end. May you transform into a better version of yourself in real life. The first step, I think, should be to sincerely face reality and be true to yourself in the present moment. The following two recommended novels are based on reality, written within reality, yet transcending reality; those interested can take a look. In this world, there is only one true heroism: to recognize the truth of life and still love it.

    These seven books are worth reading. The first is a textbook for career success and a treasure trove for improving insight. The second, "Game Theory," is a sequel to the first and is particularly engaging. The third and fourth are best listened to as audiobooks, focusing on history (Su Dongpo) and science fiction respectively. The fourth and fifth are excellent works on character divination and feng shui.
