    This is a great read with no fixed romantic pairings, and some worlds even lack a love story. The protagonist is Li Yue, an incredibly persistent carp spirit! After failing to leap over the Dragon Gate 80 times, he slept for 800 years. When he awoke, the world had drastically changed; spiritual energy was scarce, and gods, demons, and ghosts had vanished. Fortunately, a system appeared at a crucial moment, showing him a new path to dragon transformation. Li Yue continuously grows, from being clueless about human relationships at the beginning to handling interpersonal relationships with ease, constantly improving both his intellect and spiritual realm. Li Yue then embarks on a quick transmigration journey, showcasing his skills in various small worlds. The first few chapters focus on one world, keeping the pace fast, while the later chapters cover a dozen or so different worlds, with the plot becoming increasingly exciting. Worlds like the one of the neglected prince and the Lotus Pavilion are seamlessly integrated into the story. This story has no fixed romantic pairings; it's purely about watching the protagonist level up and rise against all odds—it's incredibly satisfying and stress-relieving!
