This is a damn Victorian fantasy novel.
Add a spoonful of steam engines to get that damned tech tree moving! Add a spoonful of love and hate to give everyone a good reason to fight! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters as the main boss… Wait! Bloody hell, I poured too much!
…
Year 931 of the Envirg Calendar.
The city I live in has been named the most advanced city in the West. The main reason? Steam technology, the source of both groundbreaking innovation and utter chaos, has turned the world upside down. It’s undeniable. Yet, despite this, people still flock here in droves. This city always offers a glimmer of hope, whether it’s a lie or an illusion. It’s so close, seemingly within reach, that people are willing to risk everything for it. A city of illusions.
And I am one of those dream chasers.

Li Xuan was reborn into the world of immortals and became a farmer's son.
After fifteen years of living in a daze, he didn't even get a glimpse of becoming an immortal in the end.
I have been away from home for ten years, and I wanted to use the money to marry and have children, but I never expected that an injured monk would fall from the sky...
A fortune-stealing pearl contains the history of a hundred generations of immortals.
Starting from a humble peasant family, they established their own household, founded their own clan, and generation after generation of the Li family struggled to survive, until finally... the entire clan ascended to heaven!
Realm division: Soul Condensation, Qi Training, Foundation Building, Purple Palace, Golden Core, Nascent Soul...
PS: This book's realm is improving slowly
Global gamification, professionals become mainstream.
A mortal who fails in his job transfer has only two choices: either go to the underground world and become a miner, or exchange fifty years of his life for the worst job transfer book.
Li Du chose the latter, changing to the worst profession and a skill that would cost him his life to deal damage.
As a result, Li Du discovered that his talent was life absorption! Killing monsters would increase his lifespan!
So Li Du laughed. You said I don't have many years to live?
I killed 1,300 monsters, and my life span increased by three years. I killed 10,000 monsters, and my life span increased by more than 20 years. If I killed a million or tens of millions of monsters, how much more life span would I be able to add?
The more you kill, the more you add.
When his lifespan is long enough, Li Du can even exchange for god-level professions, forbidden spell skills, and god-level equipment...
When Li Du looked back again, he found that he had already become a god.
Scholar System, Business System, Confucian Saint System, Oracle System, Bald System, Ancestor System, Myriad Realms System…
This is a world overflowing with systems!
In this world, everyone can awaken a system of their own!
Everyone can cheat their way to the peak of life!
However, Xiang Beifei was utterly confused, “Why do all you locals have system cheats while I, as a transmigrator, don’t have one?”
Soon, he realized—
Not having a system cheat was actually the biggest cheat of all!
“I saw with my own eyes that they used the finest, rustproof refined steel to make utensils and cans, filling them with just a little food, then casually throwing them away after eating.”
“I saw with my own eyes that they used giant beasts as tall as mountains to devour soil and rocks, digging out underground cities, just to park their steel carriages beneath the surface.”
“I saw with my own eyes that they fed glowing ores into an everlasting stellar furnace, unleashing a radiance brighter than the sun.”
“I saw with my own eyes all those indescribable things.”
“Their iron birds covered the sky, their steel ships filled the ocean, their war machines tore the earth asunder, and their gods walked upon the world.”
“You must think I’m mad.”
“But it doesn’t matter.”
“It has already seen you.”
***
Oil is Its blood.
Thick smoke is Its breath.
Ore and steel are Its food.
The countless cargo ships in the harbors are Its myriad offspring.
The place of origin stamped in the corner is Its silent mockery.
They claim they are mere mortals.
Child, you’d best not argue.
You must understand:
Their technology is beyond comprehension.
Their production capacity is unimaginable.
A mere glimpse of their creations will drive you insane.
Their morale surpasses even the most fanatical worshippers of dark gods.
How will you stop them?
With your sword, child? Or your flesh and blood?
You should be grateful that they still consider themselves mortals.

“I’ve finished building my factory, and now you’re telling me this world runs on idealism?!”
“Wait, then what the hell did I just create?”
The flourishing Tang Dynasty was in full bloom, and a shocking fission was imminent.
In the fifth year of Tianbao, he opened his eyes and saw the prosperous and majestic spirit of “the glorious Tang Dynasty, the blessing of heaven to all nations”, with famous generals like clouds, vast territory; capable ministers like rain, abundant granaries; brilliant poetry, dazzling literature; beautiful women, singing and dancing.
He also saw that the whole court was infatuated, arrogant and extravagant, fighting for power; the country was in turmoil, and there were many problems; the Hu people rebelled, and people were like grass.
The drums of Yuyang shook the earth, and he wanted to make this Tang Dynasty not lose its splendor.

"My name is Su Mu. When you see this sentence, the human race has already perished..." Su Mu accidentally got a diary. The first sentence in the diary made him feel creepy.
Ten thousand years ago, the myriad races invaded Blue Star, and the world entered the era of high martial arts. Everyone who reached the age of eighteen would awaken their talents and embark on the path of martial arts. During these ten thousand years, countless strong men emerged in the human race. With the efforts of these strong men, the human race gradually gained the upper hand in the battle with the myriad races. But the diary said that the human race would perish in ten years! And Su Mu is the only savior who can save the human race!
The sudden task made Su Mu panic. Fortunately, he awakened the EX-level talent: copy after death. At the same time, under the guidance of the diary, he obtained the SSS-level talent: rewind twelve hours! From then on, he embarked on an invincible road with countless deaths.
Ding, you have been killed by the human traitor, the copy was successful, congratulations on obtaining the SSS-level talent: sword heart clear!
Ding, you have been killed by the Sky-Swallowing Ants. The copy was successful. Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-level talent: Devouring Heaven and Earth!
Ding, you have been killed by the Thunder Gods. The copy was successful. Congratulations on obtaining the SSS-level talent: Chaos Thunder!
Many years later, Su Mu faced the myriad races of heaven and earth and swung his sword: "This time, it's you who should perish!"
A ray of light suddenly brought Xiong Mo to Zhatian, and then his journey began.
"What? I have merged with this space?"
"If this space is destroyed, I will die with it?"
"This space is gradually breaking and disintegrating?"
"I don't want to die yet, help me!"
"Huh, it's still 2 million years away from being completely broken? As long as you become an immortal, you can repair it? Oh, and you can travel to other worlds? That's fine."
