    As an anomaly, the White Snake Immortal, from an outsider's perspective, clearly understood the nature of humans—they love self-deception and self-pity, claiming to be the pinnacle of creation, finding all sorts of reasons to convince themselves and others, and justifying the oppression of other creatures. Conversely, if an anomaly, now a spirit, were to bully or kill, that would be absolutely unacceptable and would incur divine retribution! Quite a double standard, isn't it? The White Snake Immortal had lived for a thousand years and had read countless human novels. Those fantasy novels always talked about retribution for killing the innocent, yet humans, when cutting down trees, gathering herbs, killing animals for skin and elixir, never mentioned "innocence" or "retribution," taking it all for granted. Even more ridiculous is that some people like to talk about "saving all living beings," but their definition of "all living beings" is extremely narrow, specifically referring to human society, excluding any other creatures. When disaster struck, the White Snake Immortal prioritized saving his own kind—was there anything wrong with that? Of course there's a problem. At least in some people's eyes, the White Snake's failure to prioritize saving people is her fault, deserving divine punishment! The White Snake Immortal is a snake, so she has many grievances against humans. But if the roles of humans and snakes were reversed, and snakes became the world's overlords, then she would certainly adopt the same methods as humans, enslaving all things in heaven and earth.

    "Two Realms: I Cultivated to Immortality in the Real World" is a unique and exhilarating fantasy novel. The protagonist, Yang Chen, is granted access to two worlds through a ring, forging an invincible path of "technology + cultivation" amidst the clash between the real world and the cultivation world. The story is ruthless and decisive, gradually shifting towards a darker tone, with no unnecessary sentimentality. When a master of bone tempering in the cultivation world boasts of iron-like bones, Yang Chen pulls out a Desert Eagle; when a Grandmaster of Divine Treasure claims to be able to kill from a hundred meters away, Yang Chen directly uses a shoulder-fired rocket launcher. This hardcore clash between modern technology and traditional cultivation is incredibly satisfying. If you enjoy ruthless action and are interested in the "only those who can withstand missiles with their bare hands are considered extraordinary" premise, then this book is definitely worth reading.

    I love the extreme selfishness of the Immortal Venerable. He doesn't have overwhelming strength since he doesn't have any cheat codes or golden fingers, but his intelligence is overwhelming. He is always in the protagonist's calculations and plans, whether in the beginning or the middle (it might be a little unpleasant at first, but that's just setting the stage for why it's so enjoyable later).
