Chapter 470: Update Adjustments + Book Recommendations

Here's an update. Additionally, some readers are willing to take responsibility for the 'captain' (author's persona), so if you have any complaints, please direct them to the following books:

1. **Millennia of Qi Cultivation, Only to Realize It's Investiture of the Gods!** * **Author:** Marmot Immortal * **Synopsis:** One day, Qi Sheng transmigrated and became a new disciple of the Nether Sect in the immortal realm, assigned to the Spirit Descent Peak. As a Spirit Descent cultivator, Qi Sheng needed to respond to requests from Daoists in the lower realm. This could involve spirit possession for combat, projecting manifestations, lending magical artifacts, casting spells, or descending to the mortal realm in person. Spirit descent was dangerous; it often shortened one's lifespan. Fortunately, Qi Sheng awakened a system panel, allowing him to gain 'merit' during spirit descent. As long as he accumulated 'merit,' he could rapidly improve himself. Constant spirit descent; constant merit; constant improvement. A thousand years later, Qi Sheng ascended, intercepting a divine arrow from beyond the heavens to save a medicine-gathering boy. Seeing the inscription 'Li Jing, General of Chen Tang Pass' on the arrow's fletching, Qi Sheng's expression changed. "It's actually Investiture of the Gods?!"

2. **Spirits of Cuisine** * **Author:** Forced to Write Due to Book Famine * **Synopsis:** This is a culinary world imbued with magical power. Elves are born from dishes, where taste and power collide, and journeys are filled with crises and challenges. Young Qin Lang, carrying memories of his past life as a special-grade chef, arrives in this world brimming with courage and dreams. He follows the footsteps of the Traveler's Book, uncovering long-buried histories.

3. **I Am the Final BOSS of the Closed Beta!** * **Author:** After Four Thousand Rounds * **Synopsis:** Transmigrating into the Western fantasy game "Snow Moon Crest," Rust's time became hopelessly stuck on the same day. No matter what he did, whenever dusk arrived, the resurrected ancient god would annihilate the entire city of Deepblue Port, along with all traces left by Rust. Time would rewind, and he would start over. He experienced joy, using infinite time to woo various individuals, studying the most obscure books in the library, and honing various skills to perfection. He also experienced despair, attempting to stop the rise of the evil god, but giving up hope amidst endless failures... Until that day, after 300 years of resets and failures, as Rust, dragging his mortal body, once again confronted the ancient god, he saw a figure that should never have appeared. "Huh, according to history, Deepblue Port should have been destroyed by the aftermath of the god's descent," Hiltina, the cover girl and "Azure Silver Sword Saint," looked at him with confusion. "Also, who is this strange historical echo dungeon NPC? Why is there no record of him in the history books?" Rust: ? So this is a dungeon projected from past history, and I'm an NPC in this historical dungeon? Turns out, I've been playing a closed beta server for 300 years? Breaking free from the shackles of time, the prisoner shattered the cage of history. Thus, a player more terrifying than any BOSS was born.

4. **I Must Get Lucky Immediately** * **Author:** Zhai Nan * **Synopsis:** My name is Feng Xue. I transmigrated, with words above my head, indicating a remaining lifespan of sixty... days. At first, I wasn't panicked, believing that every cause has an effect; since my life was short, there must be a way to extend it. I went online to search. The internet didn't explicitly state it, but everywhere, crookedly written, were the words "daily world." I couldn't sleep, so I carefully read for half the night, and only then did I discern words hidden within the lines. The entire text read: "Lifespan Shortened!" I was probably ill, unable to sleep. So I went into a mahjong parlor and played for a few days. Then, on a dark and stormy night, I sought to try my luck, and indeed, I found a glimmer of hope. Observer's Log: The fate connected was transmigration, the illness acquired was a short life. What was sought was a life of longevity, what was spent was life-shortening labor. A single glance confirms it: diagnosed as 'lifespan debt.' * **PS:** This book is not a competitive novel. Mahjong only appears in the first chapter. There are cross-world transmigration elements. It is not fan-fiction.

5. **Grand Zhou Literary Sage** * **Author:** Baili Xi * **Synopsis:** In the Grand Zhou Holy Dynasty, the empress ascended the throne. Waking up, Jiang Xingzhou found himself a lowly scholar from a poor family. Looking at the imperial examination's successful candidates, all seemed mediocre. He picked up his brush and silently wrote "Ode to Afang Palace." When "The six kings perished, the four seas unified. Mount Shu denuded, Afang emerged..." the thousand-zhang palace, covering three hundred li of the imperial city, became a Saint-level barrier, the examiner, a Hanlin academician, felt his literary heart almost collapse. With his left hand, "Bring in the Wine," he drunkenly severed the literary foundation of aristocratic families. With his right hand, "Ode to Red Cliffs," he blood-sacrificed a great demon sage. "The Road to Shu is Hard" suppressed the nine provinces with a single sword. "Ode to Yueyang Tower" nurtured his vast righteousness. "Man Jiang Hong" executed rebellious scholars. The singular "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" stirred the heart of a goddess. Jiang Xingzhou, stepping on countless shattered saintly bodies, stood at the pinnacle of the literary path, his ink-stained robes fluttering, his starlit eyes like swords. He inscribed a quatrain on a couplet plaque in the Confucius Temple: "Know that in my youth, I aspired to reach the clouds, once vowing to be the foremost in the world!" Today, I shall teach this world what it means: "When the brush falls, wind and rain are startled; when the poem is complete, ghosts and gods weep!"

6. **The Stolen Immortal Arts Are Quite Divine** * **Author:** Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night * **Synopsis:** This is a familiar yet strange Earth. The wealthy undergo genetic modification, breaking human limits; mysterious organizations manipulate the Western world, stirring up trouble; folded spaces are about to open, expanding Earth hundreds or thousands of times, as terrifying entities from the crevices descend. "Remnants" planted millions of years ago, when myriad races competed, emerge, re-enacting the struggle of "Heaven, Earth, and Man." This is the calm before the apocalypse. This is the wind filling the tower before the storm. The world is cruel, but the protagonist is carefree and dashing. For he possesses a pair of "Heavenly Dao Wisdom Eyes," allowing him to see anything, anywhere, that has happened in the past. He also has a "Human Dao Orchid Heart," granting him super comprehension, enabling him to master any divine ability or miraculous method in an instant. Furthermore, he possesses an unrivaled Dao of Wisdom, allowing him to scheme and manipulate minds, saving or harming people with a single thought... * **Friendly Reminder:** Brothers and sisters who enjoy this style might want to check out the author's previous book, "Night Watchman of the Grand Alley," a 6.05 million-word, best-selling work with a complete story, offering ample reading.

7. **Armored Train in the Apocalypse** * **Author:** Mang Qian * **Synopsis:** (Train, Vehicle, Superpowers, Harem) * Week 1: "1224 people crammed into 40 carriages, but only 2 can live in the front car. What right do you have to be here?" * Month 1: "Zombies evolve, and so must the train: 1.2 cm steel plates welded, roof machine gun positions reserved." * Month 2: "With talent, R&D progress is different.

While other survivors beg to board, my crew is baking cranberry cookies. Su Huan closed the log and looked at the twisted monsters outside the window: "Tell the kitchen to prepare an extra spicy hotpot — some impolite guests always try to climb onto my train without a ticket."

8. **Becoming a Saint After Returning from Ten Years as a Hostage** * **Author:** Platonic Fixed Form * **Synopsis:** The Imperial Lord's legends state: On the Divine Continent, destiny shifts every five hundred years. Thus, those who emerge victorious from the contention of heroes can obtain the Mandate of Heaven. Those with the Mandate of Heaven can rule hundreds of states, exclusively enjoy the divine fortune of the Central Continent, and establish a Divine Dynasty. Zhao Changgeng, a minor extra from Hengdian, was born in the Sui Kingdom. From a young age, he possessed extraordinary talent and was the legitimate eldest son, destined for wealth and status. However, he was chosen to enter the Divine Dynasty as a hostage to ensure the stability of Great Sui. He feigned madness, bowed his head, and hid for ten years, enduring for many years. This year, he finally returned to the capital, ready to embark on his grand enterprise. In this grand era, to the north, great saintly kings and marquises repelled cavalry from the northern borders; to the west, an unnamed sword immortal sought enlightenment in the Tianshan Mountains; moreover, the Peach and Plum Sage carved words on the Heavenly Gate and ascended, or an old Celestial Master sat withered, guarding the Demon Suppressing Pass for a century. "Now I, Zhao Changgeng, having endured hardships and emulated the First Emperor, will single-handedly wield the divine cauldron, gather the world's destiny, integrate the three doctrines, unify the Divine Continent, and confront the might of Heaven. How can I not obtain the Mandate of Heaven?"
