Every time they quarreled, he would say three sentences: DIVORCE I have a generation gap with you.

A refreshingly breezy approach to a plot promising hard science fiction. Well thought out and paced, and confident. I can hardly wait to see what's next!

Very interesting science fiction, almost comparable to the real laws of science. I love reading this fiction, about the transformation of the leading character, Luo Yuan.

Oh yeah space travel science fiction is super difficult to write. The dedicated readers of this genre seem to want hard science. There's just so many small details in science that needs to be included to satisfy the readers. An example reaching a new world and not having to worry about something like that worlds common cold being instantly deadly. Wave it away? Ignore it? Advanced genetic modification for everyone at birth? Or explaining power sources fusion reactors? Was energy finally crystallize into super compressed form? Ftl technology, worm holes opened at Will? Folding space? If there wasn't any it would be a fairly boring novel? Alright that's fine too. There's just so many problems writing this genres type of story. The reviews show cases how hard it is to write a science fiction space novel. Some just like the mystery and don't care for details. Others want super hard science and want it explained. For this the science hard most things completely ignored and will not be explained. Some readers are fine with it but for people who tend to search out space novels... they don't tend to like soft science. Then again for people who like cultivation novels is science what they want? Why three stars? I like hard science but the story itself isn't that bad if you don't care so I wouldn't vote it lower but it's not to my preference.

If I can't become an immortal, I can only become a demon.

Chen Ren awakened a panel. The panel was very simple. Killing ghosts would make him stronger. However, he gradually realized that something was wrong. Every time he killed a ghost, a ball of Yin Qi would fuse into his body. As the level of Yin Qi on the interface gradually increased, Chen Ren felt that he was about to become a real ghost. Suppressing the Yin Qi from entering his body, a strange spider lily grew out of his chest. Every time the flowers bloomed, Chen Ren would go berserk… P.S.: This book is mainly about the plot, not about leveling up, and half of it has a black soul background. Soul scientists, don't take it too seriously. I've only borrowed a portion of the settings and some famous scenes.
