Chapter 157 Homeless Little Flame

Yan Qianlie's breaking of the realm was due to the slight gap caused by the spatial turbulence caused by Qiu Wuji's ascension and the attempt of the Heavenly Dao to correct it. He grasped the existence node of another realm. In this independent event, it was an accident.

But in a sense, this is inevitable.

When the best people in this world begin to realize the existence of "Heavenly Way" one by one and start to explore in this direction wholeheartedly, this day will come sooner or later.

Qiu Wuji will come out, and so will others, if not now then in the near future.

Especially...when they become more real.

Chugo himself didn't realize how rich the world's sense of existence is now.

Writers who have been working in Diannang for many years always overlook one issue...channel.

Dianiang is the leader of online literature in people's minds, but in fact, its real daily active users rank very low among all apps, and it cannot support the proposition of "world presence". There are all kinds of channels out there, paid, free, WeChat, browser... and so on. (Pingzi note: not referring to pirated copies!)

There are many works that have achieved good results on Dianiang, but have not made much waves on the channel. This is called "only relying on the main site's support, and not being recognized by the channel." Typical examples are some serious historical works.

However, some works that perform mediocrely on Dianiang may become a big hit on the channels, and the sales revenue may be several times higher than that on this site. This is called "wireless style, eating channels", and there are countless precedents.

Chu Ge is a veteran in online writing, but he doesn’t have a clear understanding of these concepts. After all, he used to rely on the main website, and there was no channel at all. Every time he opened the backend, he saw that the group channel cost hundreds of yuan, and the third-party channel cost tens or even a few yuan, which was basically negligible. There was no overseas translation, and no adaptation...

In fact, if you only use the main site, how can you be considered a general knowledge? How can you be considered a "world presence"? Not to mention hovering in the top ten, even the top three may not count. If you want to expand your world presence, you must open up channels and even start adapting animation and film and television. Only then will the number of people who know and recognize this world increase exponentially.

When Chu Ge received the bank deposit notification via text message and saw an unbelievable number, he hurriedly opened the backend to confirm the statistics of this month's royalties. Only then did he suddenly realize that his previous vision seemed a bit narrow.

Because this month's channel fee is more than twice that of the main site.

Chu Ge looked at the string of terrifying numbers and felt a little dazed for a moment, it felt very unreal.

It turns out that the last wave of "going viral" brought more than just ranking on the best-selling list. The real impact is here... I really can't feel it at other times.

What if the adaptation is made? What will the world become?

"What's wrong?" Qiu Wuji hugged him from behind and said softly, "I just finished healing and didn't rest well. Suddenly I got up and looked at the computer background...background...stations...is this number fake?"

Qiuqiu was stunned, and her voice started to drift away as she spoke the rest of the story.

I used to think that robbing $10,000 was a lot...I just considered the income last month as unexpected gains and didn’t count. What is this now?

No wonder Chu Ge ignored his injuries and jumped up after reading a text message.

Chu Ge said sadly: "Do you know what it means to have the top ten bestsellers in a month, plus double the channel income? I won't tell you the exact amount, so that readers won't go and beat up those beasts in the top ten."

Qiu Wuji: "...Are you talking about yourself?"

"I'm not pretending, Qiuqiu. I really haven't thought about this. I choked when I saw this number, and then what I thought about the most was the sense of existence of our world." Chu Ge said, "I even wondered if it was because it was more real that you could find the heaven... Theoretically speaking, I haven't even written it yet, so it doesn't exist. No one who wants to ascend can find it. You tried to ascend before, but ended up connecting to me, and you couldn't find any heaven at all, right? But it really exists, and now it is becoming more and more apparent, so..."

"Maybe..." Qiu Wuji whispered, "Will you blame me for ascending without consulting you? What if something goes wrong..."

"Although I'm a little unhappy... but this is actually the right thing to do." Chu Ge patted her hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "If you discussed it with me and I asked you to do it, was it the will of heaven that asked you to do it, or did you break free from it? Don't think about it, just do it if you want to do it."

Qiu Wuji thought about it and shook her head. She had originally thought so, but now she felt that there was something wrong with this logic.

If I am an independent person, isn't it normal for me to discuss everything with my boyfriend? Why do I have to do it without discussing it?

The blood at the corner of Chu Ge's lips was so touching that Qiu Wuji felt a little confused.

Which is illusion and which is reality... What is the self? Can you really see it clearly?

Forget it, this kind of thing is really hard to judge. If I keep going down this dead end, my life will be difficult in the future. Before doing anything, I have to think about whether this is the will of heaven, and whether that is my own freedom... How can I live my life then?

Both of them were open-minded people, so they stopped worrying about it. Chu Ge smiled and said, "To be honest, this experience is not without benefits. I feel that I am more in control now."

Qiu Wuji was very interested: "How do you say that?"

"Although I can't feel the same sense of ownership as I do with my personal space, I feel that the permissions are much clearer... or, in other words, the sense of interaction is much stronger?" Chu Ge smiled slightly: "Look."

Qiu Wuji watched as a blade of grass appeared in his hand.

"Fluorescent Moon Grass!" Qiu Wuji was surprised and delighted: "I picked this from the mountain behind me?"

"Yes, I picked it casually from the pavilion outside your retreat room." Chu Ge blinked: "I can take things out from there, Qiuqiu."

Because control becomes stronger?

Or is it because the world is more real?

It is difficult for the two to determine the specific reason, perhaps it is both...

But the surprise at this moment is enough to make people forget to analyze these reasons. Chu Ge can take things from the immortal world! What does this mean?

"Can I only take grass? Can I take something else?" Qiu Wuji asked in surprise and joy: "My Luoxia Yunjin Qiushui Nishang, my Qiushui Ningbi Sword..."

Chugo: “…No.”

Damn, I just realized that the name of the magic weapon I gave you just to increase the word count is really long.

Qiu Wuji: “Woo…”

Chu Ge comforted him, "We can only take some very light things now. We can select the ones with the best cost-effectiveness, such as refining pills. It is much more meaningful than relying on the spiritual energy of the clam pearls before. It will also be effective for your clone's cultivation, right? When my cultivation is higher and the world is more solid, maybe I can even move Yunji Mountain out..."

Qiu Wuji's eyes sparkled.

There is no need to move Yunji Mountain out, just move my real body out...

The consciousness is boundless and can travel through time, but the physical body is limited and cannot really leave. Unless the soul leaves the body, leaving an empty shell of the physical body there... I don't think it's necessary.

It's a pity that the soul has to be divided and tossed back and forth like this every time. It would be great if one day I could enter and exit freely.

Even now, he could indeed select some suitable materials to make pills, or make some robes... Look at how his clothes are always tattered after each battle...

Once the two worlds are truly connected, there are so many things that can be done, so many that Qiu Wuji can't figure out how many benefits there are at once.

This is a terrifying leap, and it definitely symbolizes the beginning of Chu Ge's great progress in spiritual practice.

Chu Ge looked at the Moonlight Grass intently for a while, and murmured, "In addition, I also realized one thing... The connection between the two worlds is getting closer and closer. If you can get out, it is possible that other powerful people can slip out. I have to reinforce it, just in case..."

As he spoke, he opened the document and added a sentence after the patch that had allowed Qiu Wuji to travel through time: "Although Qiu Wuji has not ascended, he has tried many times and has sensed the existence of the heavens and myriad worlds, so it is possible for him to travel through time. Others who have never tried to transcend the tribulation have become more closed off due to the spatial turbulence caused by Qiu Wuji. Even if they had previously vaguely sensed the gate to the myriad worlds, they have now lost their perception."

Qiu Wuji looked at him with a strange expression and thought that this Father God was really a dog.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m worried that others will come out and destroy this peaceful world, or if it’s a kind of possessiveness that’s at work. This world is mine, don’t even think about messing with it.

But despite this possessiveness, he is always willing to let himself break free.

Qiu Wuji looked at Chu Ge's profile, not knowing how to evaluate this contradiction... Maybe people are complicated. Chu Ge had the idea of modifying and possessing her at will, but finally gave up?

She sighed and whispered, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, so rest first. If you have any questions, we'll discuss it tomorrow."

Somewhere on top of a building, there is a small flame sitting on the edge with its hands in its pockets. This strange world makes it extremely confused.

What and what are these?

I don’t recognize anything, I can’t understand anything...everything I see seems confusing.

That's fine, but the spiritual energy is also different from what I imagined... I originally thought this was heaven, with rich and abundant spiritual energy, and it would be easy for me to recover from my injuries, but what is this? The spiritual energy is so thin that it's not even as good as my fart? Steel bars and concrete everywhere, even grass is a natural treasure under the pollution of exhaust gas?

It will take a long time to recover to the peak, the little flame is about to dissipate!

Was I too eager to come out and not well prepared... Anyway, now that I've come out the first time, I can always come out a second time. Should I go back and heal my wounds first?

Yan Qianlie sighed and tried to return. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood, there is really no need to rush out.

As soon as I had the thought, I found that I couldn't go back.

I could clearly sense the existence of my original world before, but now I suddenly can't sense it anymore, just like a door that I had finally pried open was closed again by the owner of the house.

The little flame was stunned.

God, are you kidding me?

PS: Why do you think I would spread poison? You’re overthinking... There will be more updates in the evening, probably at 10 o’clock, so it may be postponed.
