Writing this closing statement has left me with mixed feelings.
First of all, I want to thank my brothers for their support. Without everyone's support, I definitely wouldn't have been able to persevere.
I hope this novel will satisfy those who finish reading it. Thank you all.
Along the way, many brothers have given rewards, comments, and urged me to update. I have a deep impression of many readers' IDs, but I won't list them all. I will remember them all.
Many brothers have also been silently supporting me. I can't see it, but I know you exist. I am very grateful for everyone's company.
Now let's talk about this novel.
Let's talk about the update first.
This book was updated on September 1st last year and completed on September 30th this year, exactly one year and one month, nearly 400 days, with a word count of just over 2 million.
With an average daily update volume of over 5,000 words, that's actually quite good.
After all, it's just about getting full attendance; it doesn't earn much money. It's purely out of love for it.
During this period, apart from taking one day off each month, there were no additional breaks in updates, and I worked quite hard on updating.
Then there's the content of the novel.
When I was writing this novel, I came up with an idea the day before I was supposed to start writing it, so I wrote a chapter and published it the next day.
The worst part is, there's no outline!!!
This novel has absolutely no outline!
Apart from the beginning and the protagonist's name, there was no other plot when it was written. Even Wu Ming's name was just randomly chosen as 'Xiao Ming' when he was working the bellows.
Wu Ming was a character I hadn't originally thought of; I only came up with him while writing.
This is typical for this book.
It's the kind of writing that happens wherever the thought takes you, and whatever the thought takes you, that's where the writing begins.
Fortunately, overall, it can be considered a complete work, although the plot was somewhat disjointed and incoherent in the early stages, which resulted in low readership and caused many readers to abandon the book and give it negative reviews.
I feel terrible!!!
In terms of plot, I am personally quite satisfied with the latter half of the Divine Platform Secret Realm, as well as the battle of the Outer Heavens, the story of the gods descending to the mortal realm, the overall plot of the Desolate Region, and the storylines of Haotian and Daozun.
The main plot of this novel is actually quite good, but my writing skills are too poor, and I didn't prepare an outline beforehand, so the result wasn't very good.
Looking back, I realize it could have been written even better.
When he first ascended and encountered the Demon Cat Clan, it would have been better if there had been more emotional tension, depicting the Demon Cat Clan's greed for the Divine Platform Secret Realm on Lu Tao in greater depth, just like with Ao Chen and Turtle Elder. The plot would have been much richer.
Also, when you first leave the Desolate Domain and enter Jade Rising Heaven, if you write about the tragic experiences of the ascendants who have just ascended to Jade Rising Heaven, and learn about the miserable fate of the creatures in the Domain Prison, the emotions will be more on point.
It's a pity there was no outline, so I didn't think of these things beforehand. I only thought of writing them later when I got to that part of the story.
Another concern is that readers might abandon the book if they see such tragic descriptions.
Because when Shan Yu blew up the secret realm, killing many great geniuses, some readers gave negative reviews, saying that the protagonist Lu Tao was too cowardly.
I don't think Lu Tao knew anything about Shan Yu entering the secret realm and refining the divine platform. He couldn't stop him either, so how is he a coward?
So when writing other plot points later, I deliberately avoided this situation.
Looking back now, there was really no need to care about these things at all, sigh.
Finally, let's talk about the setting.
The system settings were initially unexpected; I never imagined they would expand so much later on. With the system so powerful, designing the storyline became incredibly difficult.
For example, I followed a friend's advice to refine experience pills to directly improve my cultivation level. But as I was writing, I realized that the protagonist's cultivation level was improving too fast, and I didn't know what plot to write.
After all, the protagonist has no shortage of cultivation resources or materials, and he doesn't need cultivation techniques, talent, or comprehension...
Finally, I came up with the idea of offering a reward for three thousand cultivation techniques, which, when combined with the Chaos Talent, led to a large part of the storyline in the Desolate Region. This is probably the storyline I'm most satisfied with.
So I really have to thank that fellow reader for the suggestion.
Rapidly increasing cultivation level does indeed make it easier for the protagonist to deal with many crises.
As you progress through the system, you'll see that it becomes increasingly outrageous, with features like prayers, universal saint-grade aptitude, universal saint-grade talent, holy spirit veins, the Great Thousand Worlds, various amplifications, any door, and chaotic artifacts.
Ultimately, even all disciples of the Immortal Sect could pursue the Chaos Martial Path, which shows how exaggerated it was.
Then, let's focus on time acceleration...
Regarding time acceleration, I didn't actually calculate it beforehand, before I wrote about 16.7 billion times.
I had no idea it would be so terrifying.
The reason the protagonist wasn't given ten times the time acceleration materials in the early stages was because his cultivation level was increasing too fast, and I wanted to slow it down. After all, if I made the protagonist invincible all at once, I wouldn't know how to write the story.
Just like when he became the God Emperor, time accelerated by 16.7 billion times, and he could transcend tribulation to become a Dao Saint in less than a day. The plot of this major realm was pitifully short.
For example, the cultivation of the God King realm and the God Emperor realm.
If there were an extremely exaggerated time acceleration, the plot of the Thirty-Three Heavens could be almost entirely shortened. The protagonist wouldn't need several months to become a God Emperor; a few days would probably be enough.
As for adding points to the Chaos Realm, Rules, Great Dao, etc., I won't go into that.
The main challenge is obtaining Creation Points and Source Points, which is extremely easy and basically poses no difficulty whatsoever.
Another one is the realm setting.
The setting of realms in my novel is actually quite complete; it's a whole system, and the progression of advancement is quite logical and reasonable.
The initial body refinement involves essence, qi, spirit, and true marrow...
Martial arts skills can be transformed into supernatural powers; beyond that lie rules, the Great Dao...
Based on innate, bestowed domains, then realms, worlds, the Heavenly Dao...
Basically, each realm has its own characteristics, which are all described in the fighting scenes.
Even when the protagonist later follows the path of Chaos Martial Arts, and he crushes opponents of the same level, the characteristics of each realm are still described when he crosses levels.
Finally, the hole was filled.
All the plot holes in the novel have been filled in, with no major errors or omissions, although there are relatively few plot holes.
Haha, that's all for now.
I feel like I'm rambling on and on, and I don't know what I'm trying to summarize.
In short...
Thank you for your support, brothers. I, Yifeng, would like to pray for everyone, including myself, that you all have good health, all your wishes come true, academic success, career advancement, and harmonious families. Most importantly, I pray for financial freedom!
Lu Tao: "My wish will be fulfilled!"
