    Emptying the bookshelves, every book is worth reading. First: The Magpie Brings Good News, for it sees through people's hearts and only speaks what they want to hear; the Crow Brings Bad News, for it warns of impending disaster. Potions and armaments, original cultivation and divine cultivation, gods and men, blood and fire, the Ninth Empire, a thousand-year cycle, ten thousand-year rebirth, the numbness of the lower classes, the fanaticism of the middle classes, the madness of the upper classes—all people, all things, all methods, all for: the empire's eternal prosperity! Second: The Safe Zone, under the gaze of the Crow God, apocalypse? Rebirth? The Chosen One? Sequence Abilities? The so-called monsters of the gods? The Safe Zone? Intrigue and deceit, the myriad aspects of human life vying for power, are nothing more than a game in the eyes of the gods. Third: The old tradition, no need to say more. Fourth: Traditional fantasy, a world without systems, martial arts, immortality—those who don't follow the path are ultimately ants. The name of the Dao Lord shakes the nine heavens. Guided by the voice of confusion, embarking on the path of self-discovery, the road through the heavens is long and winding—who am I, really? The fifth book: Western fantasy, a golden finger that's neither too big nor too small, legends, epics, and an unspeakable crown, even beings in the astral realm will cast a glance at me? No more mindless face-slapping, lazy transmigrator, it's time for your show, expansion? Exchange of interests and interpersonal relationships? Let me show you the foundation of the strongest earl family in eight hundred years.
