Ten years ago, I loved power fantasies. Over time, I gradually stopped reading them and stopped following some big-name authors. Most of them changed so much after becoming famous that their writing was nothing like it used to be. Here are some works I've personally thought were excellent over the years.

Is magic really just a wish machine? No, in a universe where magic truly existed, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magic war tool man who learned the ultimate nature of magic. But so what? Just like a bird can fly without understanding aerodynamics, a magician does not need to understand its nature to use magic. Knowing the ultimate nature of magic also does not mean that the tool man can transform into a great magician. But the desire for knowledge is human instinct, and curiosity is the first driving force of human civilization. Even if it is magic that should have no reason at all, humans still hope to understand its inner operating rules. Exploring the ultimate nature of magic requires no reason! The story in the book takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is approximately the 16th century of our universe. However, due to a bit of a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are different from our geographical environment. Here, muskets are on the rise, but armor has not yet come to an end. Military theories are changing with each passing day, and innovations in systems and craftsmanship are endless. And this world has one more thing than ours: magic. The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one can stay out of it.

It's a cup of damned Victorian fantasy. Add a scoop of steam engine and make that damn tech tree move! Add a spoonful of love and hate and give everyone a reason to fight! Add a spoonful of psychosis to make this dark world easier, and finally add a spoonful of natural disaster to be the main boss... And so on! Too many bad days! … Year 931 of the Inverg calendar. My city has been rated as the most advanced city in the West. The main reason is the steam technology that subverts the world, emerging technology and the source of chaos. It cannot be denied, but the fact is that there is still an endless stream of people coming to live here. This city will always give you a glimmer of hope, whether it's a lie or an illusion, but it's so close at hand, as if it's within reach, making you risk your life. Psychedelic city. I am a dreamer.

Those who can understand the way of heaven may not understand the human heart. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, even in heaven. If everyone does nothing, has no competition, no desire and no hope, everything will be like stagnant water. Cultivation of immortality is inherently contrary to nature. It is human nature to have seven emotions and six desires. So what if you forget your emotions and have no desires and become an immortal? It is not as good as a rotten tree, but you can still feel the coldness of the wind and frost, and it is full of spring. In order to seek the great road, we abandon our emotions and desires, but we don't know that seeking the great road is desire.

Human science and technology has encountered a bottleneck and has stagnated for many years. Tens of billions of humans are crowded into the inner solar system. Social pressure is huge and conflicts abound. Virtual reality games emerged at the historic moment and are blooming everywhere. Destroyers cheated and destroyed the balance of the game, so the Order came into being. Tang Monk and his disciples went to the West to obtain scriptures, and what they obtained was how to cheat; Judas, who betrayed Jesus, was not a traitor, just because Jesus was the leader of the destroyers. Vampires and werewolves, angels and devils in the West, demons, monsters, gods and Buddhas in the East, power controllers, superheroes, and aliens in modern society are all cheating destroyers. Expelling them and maintaining world harmony is the glorious mission of the order maintainers. Sun Ran, a master saboteur, was recruited by the Solar System Federation because his real name was accidentally leaked, and he began a glorious career in maintaining order.

On the winter night of the twelfth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, sandalwood scented the main hall. Amid the chanting of sutras, a skinny old monk sat on a futon and wrote a verse in handwriting: "The sky is broken, the earth is also broken. If you think it is a responsibility, you will miss it. Who dares to sit down if your tongue is broken." After writing, he looked at the monks for a long time, finally shook his head and sighed, and passed away with a pen. The old monk's Dharma name is Puhe, and the world calls him "Monk Dan". No one can understand this verse. Who would have thought that a hundred years later, a brothel woman would expose him so easily. (End of the Earthly Chapter)
