    Reader note

    The first book's protagonist is purely a villain, a bit weak, but the plot is very enjoyable. The second book's protagonist is full of witty remarks, cunning, ruthless, and inhuman—even cruel to himself, but very kind to those close to him (finding a woman's body for a male soul [smile]). In the third book, you might think the protagonist is a simple, kind, and pitiful person in the first few dozen chapters, but from a certain chapter onwards, the protagonist's sinister nature is suddenly revealed. Highly recommended.

    [Four million words, time to kill!] [Decisive and ruthless + dark revenge + invincible protagonist] "Death row inmate? No, I am the nightmare of all races!" Long Kai awoke in a purgatory cage, his family destroyed, his enemies reveling. In desperation, his power-boosting system awakened—killing one person grants him immense power, annihilating an entire race makes him virtually invincible. He emerged from prison, stepping on the corpses of countless races in the starry sky, becoming the supreme Dao Ancestor! One foot shattered the royal court of an alien race; one spear pierced the true body of a nuclear immortal demon; one sword slayed the ancient primordial race; the star sea beasts roared? He countered by shattering their bloodline source! He wielded the three thousand Great Dao rules, sweeping across countless realms and races. So-called geniuses are nothing but my cultivation resources. When the starry sky and the source sea trembled, the ancient ancestors knelt: "My lord, we are willing to offer our ancestral star to beg for mercy!" Long Kai lightly flicked his sword: "What's the rush? May I ask—are you worthy to die by my hand?"

    Reader note

    This is an isekai (another world) story. There are no cheat codes, no systems, and no lucky encounters. If you kill one person, you are a criminal; if you kill millions of lives, you are a king. It has a dark style, no saintly hearts, and is ruthless and decisive. There is no right or wrong, no justice or evil, only different perspectives.
