With this, the story of the strongest human race comes to an end.
There's a lot I want to say, but thankfully there's enough time, so I can talk to you all about it slowly.
First, let's clarify a misunderstanding.
The author previously mentioned that his next book would be about the rise of a supreme being, leading many readers to mistakenly believe it was a sequel to that story.
That's not how it works.
The story of a book ends in the book, and that's enough.
In fact, the old thief just liked the title of "Supreme Strongest".
The story of the nine generations of supreme powerhouses has come to an end today. The cause and effect, the grudges and entanglements in this book, will conclude here.
It has a beginning and an end, and it has a good start and a good finish.
Regarding his next book, the author's original intention was to write about the invincible path of a strong person's rise to power.
It's not like Ye Bai's rise to power... cough cough, those who know, know.
Instead, they rise to become powerful figures like Xue Jiu and Wuhen, traversing bloody paths, overcoming obstacles, seeking revenge, and becoming invincible.
Therefore, this is not a sequel to the original story. There will be new attempts in terms of subject matter, characters, and plot. The old thief will try to write some things that he has never written before.
The misunderstanding has been cleared up.
Next, let's focus on this book.
I briefly mentioned the outline and plan to everyone a few times before, but things didn't go as planned. After many revisions and patching, it's finally here today.
I know that many readers have some opinions, or even complaints, about the reduction of the original 3 million words to 2 million words.
In fact, it's impossible to satisfy everyone when a story ends. I can only give it an ending within my own capabilities.
Let me explain a few more points.
The overall tone of this book is very cheerful, including jokes, plot twists, and various abilities.
Although I made a few minor cuts in the middle.
However, the overall tone is still cheerful, including the very clichéd family-friendly ending.
The real intention behind writing a book is definitely to make money.
The old thief felt there was no need to hide this; he could say it openly.
The author, Lao Zei, writes online novels full-time. He lives off his royalties, so it's no exaggeration to say that his readers are his bread and butter.
While making money, the old thief also hopes to bring more joy to everyone.
Whether it's to kill time or to relieve fatigue.
There are already enough sad things in this world, so don't add to your sadness by reading novels.
In fact, if it were just for making money, the author wouldn't have needed to finish the book. It could have been written to 3 million, 4 million, or even 10 million words.
As long as you keep writing, you'll keep making money, and quite a lot of it.
My friends also advised me not to end it. Even if I wanted to start a new book, I could write this one while starting the new one. If the new book did well, it wouldn't be too late to end it then.
Choosing to end it is tantamount to cutting off your own escape route.
The revenue from completed books will show a significant decline compared to the long-term revenue from serialized books.
At the same time, from the creator's perspective, increasing the word count of an online novel is a very simple matter.
Because there are too many ways.
In terms of currency, this book could be expanded upon the currency system of "God of War Merit" by one level or even more.
In terms of combat power, it is possible to open up a new realm beyond the strongest.
Create more characters, unlock more maps, and expand the storyline.
If you want to write, there's plenty to write about, and people will accept it.
There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. It's a constant cycle of nested dolls, repetitions, and the occasional re-emergence of popular characters...
For the old thief, it's really not a difficult task. He makes a living this way; it's just a matter of practice.
I just don't want to do that.
It feels like... by just dragging things out, putting things off, and wasting time, you can definitely earn more money, much more.
But what will be the price?
I have no idea.
I just don't want to do that.
Sometimes, the old thief is a very pragmatic person; when it comes to making money, there's nothing shameful about it.
Sometimes, the old thief is an idealist who wants to give the story a better ending and wants to do what he can to the best of his ability.
Schrödinger is an old scoundrel.
Of course, there are many other reasons for choosing to end this book.
A lot has happened in my life this year, I won't go into details, but it has left me exhausted.
For the worst two weeks, I couldn't fall asleep until six or seven in the morning, and I had a period of reversed day and night.
I've tried many recovery methods, but the results haven't been very satisfactory.
Well, the only effect was that I gained ten pounds.
Let's skip these things; talking about them too much would sound like playing the victim.
The old thief sells a lot of things, so if you're in a bad situation, don't sell them. From a purely profit-making perspective, it's not bad at all (laughs).
I want to write a book that brings joy to everyone, but I no longer know how to do it.
I need to be happy myself first before I can try to bring happiness to others.
It's a bit tough.
This is the most important reason for choosing to end it.
It's definitely more my own fault.
I feel like I'm doing something enjoyable, but I can't derive joy from it; in fact, it causes me pain, and the whole thing starts to torment me.
Forcing himself to keep writing for money is not only torture for the author, but also torture for the readers and a disrespect for his own work.
At least in this matter, in this book, the old thief still hoped to be a little more idealistic and dignified.
Money can be earned anytime, and life is long.
Maybe one day the old thief will earn more money, maybe one day the old thief will write better works, maybe...
