2024 is coming to an end, and 2025 is just around the corner.
At this time of transition and renewal, the author wishes all fellow cultivators a happy new year, all the best, smooth sailing in everything, success in postgraduate entrance exams, passing all exams, endless romantic opportunities, and abundant wealth.
Since the beginning of this book, I have been able to persevere through many ups and downs thanks to the support of my fellow readers.
I bow in gratitude to the Dao Lords, True Lords, and True Men on the donation list; I bow in gratitude to every reader who supports me by watching ads; I bow in gratitude to fellow Daoists like "Jiang Family Holy Son" and "Xu Ru" who have accompanied me along the way; and I thank every patron who has read this far.
Since I started writing this book, I've been updating three times a day, almost without ever slacking off.
To be honest, 750 chapters and 1.6 million words were not my original plan; it was out of sheer helplessness.
But that's already the limit within my capabilities.
Many fellow practitioners may have already noticed this.
Starting from the mid-game, the pacing and storyline were sped up, and many foreshadowing elements, dungeons, and side quests were either cut or simplified to a minimum.
The goal is singular: to tell the story as completely as possible within the limited time and space, presenting a somewhat satisfactory, but relatively complete, narrative to the audience.
Because I simply couldn't keep going any longer.
The further I went, the less I could write, and my condition worsened. It wasn't that I lacked inspiration or that I was experiencing writer's block.
Instead, they didn't know how to choose, and in the end, they couldn't write anything at all, so they could only produce low-quality, filler articles.
Because with an income of only one or two thousand yuan a month, they can't even support themselves.
When life is overwhelming, creating is a real luxury.
In August, I even had to find a job as a security guard to barely make ends meet.
I am deeply ashamed that I failed to provide everyone with the best reading experience.
But I can only helplessly say: I'm sorry, the author has indeed burned out.
Especially with the end of the year approaching, my wife and her family brought up the topic of marriage again.
I really wanted to say yes, but I didn't dare, and I didn't even dare to meet my future in-laws.
Because I don't know how to face their relatives and friends.
Am I a security guard?
My wife is a wonderful woman, and also the person I feel most guilty towards.
Even though I had nothing, she was determined to marry me.
But I can't even give her a wedding.
My future in-laws are also very good people.
They never asked for anything like a bride price, a house, or a car; they only asked that I treat their daughter well.
But I also feel guilty towards them, because I dare not give their daughter the promise of a lifetime of monogamy.
As the New Year approaches, looking back, it seems that all I have left is guilt.
I feel ashamed before my readers, my wife, my parents, and my future in-laws…
If I had been successful and not felt inferior when I was young... I would have felt guilty for not giving her those beautiful dreams.
Perhaps I should really give up my unrealistic dreams and go back to that job that, although I don't like it, allows me to live a good life.
But even when I wanted to give up countless times, I still felt unwilling to give up, and I wanted to try again.
So I told my wife: Give me another chance. I'll start another book. If that still doesn't work, I'll go back to work and stop daydreaming.
After listening, she turned her head and remained silent for a long time.
I don't know what she was thinking at that moment.
But in the end, she nodded gently, with a hint of helplessness.
In her eyes, I seemed to see myself, transformed into the king of Gotham City.
But her tolerance towards me, which could even be described as pampering, made me feel as if the corpse was warm and cozy.
I long to use this new book to achieve my own redemption and to make up for all the "feelings I have owed you".
I want to give my readers a wonderful story to make up for the rushed and unfortunate situation in this book.
I want to make money, prove that I can make a living from online writing, and make up for the guilt and debt I owe to my wife and family.
I want a lot, but all I can rely on is a pen and readers who may or may not like this story.
Will we win? We guarantee a win!
The new book, "With the Three Pure Ones' Blessing at the Beginning, the Taoist Master Will Be Invincible," has been updated with ten chapters and 20,000 words.
Starting tomorrow, I will update three chapters of 6,000 words every day. I humbly request my fellow cultivators to lend me another hand.
With deepest respect and gratitude!
