As a combat instructor for China's most elite special forces, he has reached the pinnacle of practical martial arts. However, he had some regrets, because human strength is limited, and although martial arts are exquisite, they are still finite "techniques" rather than infinite "principles." Although he stood at the top, he could not go any further. Until he arrived in this world full of infinite possibilities... This book is a fan fiction, but it is definitely not a plagiarized work that started by copying. Even if the mission is the same as the original work, I will write something different, and I will try my best to ensure that readers who have not read the original work or seen the movie involved in the mission will not be affected in their reading. With the addition of the main character, the fates of the original characters will be reinterpreted, and perhaps even an insignificant cannon fodder will have his own moment of glory. I am willing to do my best to contribute to the infinite flow genre. Whether it is the systematization of the main god's ability to strengthen bloodlines, the construction of the reincarnation world, or the ultimate intention of the main god's space, this book will have a brand new interpretation.
