[Insert a separate chapter here (anyway, I've finished updating for today)]
[No summary will be provided; you can skip directly to the next chapter (if there is one)]
I feel like it won't be finished before the Spring Festival.
I don't know who said I would finish writing this at the end of the year... There are many days between the end of the year and the Spring Festival!
Of course... judging from the current situation, it's still far from perfect.
It seems that the fan group function of Tomato Novels disappeared a while ago.
Anyway, I searched and searched but couldn't find it.
It seems to have recovered recently.
Oh, I've gone off-topic.
If I can't finish it, I'll just write it slowly. I really feel like I won't be able to finish it without at least 2.5 million words.
My original idea was to write faster.
If I write quickly, I can reach 300,000 words a month, which should take about two months. Even if I haven't finished writing it yet, I'll be close...
Then I realized, haha, I really can't write that much...
And the new book is only being updated at a snail's pace. When I came to my senses, I was reminded that it had been seven days since the last update. I thought it had only been four or five days.
Now, more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.
There's still so much I haven't written...
In fact, no one knows whether they can actually finish writing 2.5 million words.
When I was at the million-word mark, I thought I might finish it around 1.7 million words, but now I've reached 1.9 million words and I'm still stuck with the power of a demigod, and I haven't even fought Rona yet...
It feels like some parts of the plot have been omitted before we've gotten to this point.
So, I really don't know if I can finish writing it when it reaches 2.5 million words.
I don't want to drag this out; I actually prefer to finish it and go on vacation.
Actually, as an author...
As I wrote more, I became hesitant to read the comments.
Sometimes I know my writing isn't good, and I know I might get criticized, so I'm not as active in the comments section as before.
As the saying goes, a person's state of mind always has its ups and downs.
It's simply impossible to consistently maintain peak performance and write at the best level.
There will always be times when I don't write well, and then I'll definitely get criticized.
Another point is that it's not convenient to reply.
Whatever I say or explain will involve revealing plot details.
Personally, I prefer not to interpret it myself; whatever the reader thinks when reading the book is what it is.
Self-imagination is also part of the charm of a novel.
What I write may not be the best.
The parts that readers add in their own imagination are the most suitable for them.
Like with Kokoro no Tsuki, if I were to draw a picture of Kokoro no Tsuki, it would become commonplace.
So Tomato had an interactive event before.
That day I looked through the comments and wanted to reply with something.
I managed to find a few comments that I could respond to, but they didn't really say anything.
-----------------
This is the first time I've written such a long novel in a single volume.
Although the plot is roughly set in stone, there are always times when inspiration runs dry.
Sometimes, I'm faced with situations where I'm about to write a certain part, but then I feel that it's not good and I have to overturn my previous ideas.
There are always times when I don't know what to write that day and have no clue what to start.
Then that day might be a bit less exciting, and there might be less plot progression.
However, because there is so much to write, I don't usually get stuck.
Something is happening at the Brave Warriors' place, something is happening at the Light and Dark Azure place, there's also a storyline at White Deer, and the main plot needs to be advanced.
Saying I can't think of how to write it is just that I can't think of a better way to write it.
According to the data I see in the backend, the number of people following the updates is generally very stable.
It's not a lot, though.
As for the combat system...
False gods possess galaxy-level strength (capable of destroying galaxies).
Quasi-gods possess dimensional-level strength. (They are capable of destroying an entire dimension/a complete universe.)
This strength is just a reference. After all, it would be a bit difficult for a pseudo-god-like assassin to destroy a plane.
The white deer can now easily destroy a galaxy (galaxies are based on the solar system and several times its size).
Some wall-mounted items exceed specifications.
The sub-god Izparut is positioned as a strong pseudo-god level character.
The Black Star Scepter is a semi-god-level weapon.
I also remember the process of reading the book; I was very addicted to The Legend of the Shepherd.
But then one day...
The app I use to follow books is no longer being updated.
I thought the author was taking a break, but several days passed and there were still no updates.
I just found out that because I was watching a pirated version, I was cracked down on, and the software can no longer be updated.
Then I got too lazy to look for other book sources.
I eventually gave up watching it.
Years later, when I finally had the means to buy the original version and watch it again, I still didn't.
There's also the Dao Gui.
There was a period in the middle when I felt like nothing was happening, and suddenly I lost interest and stopped following it.
When watching mythical creatures.
I saw that it had over two million words, and the final battle was about to begin, but it still hadn't been updated.
And I haven't gone to see it yet.
It felt like after a brief break, I suddenly lost interest.
So I know how bad it is for a book to have a holiday. (But that doesn't stop me from wanting a holiday.)
When I write a separate chapter, I tend to ramble a bit. (Partly because it's to pad the word count, and partly because those who don't want to read it can skip to the next chapter without any problems.)
Of course, the main reason is to pad the word count. Although it doesn't earn much money, it's convenient to use it to make up for the missed attendance bonus.
I was addicted to games for a while.
The scales of God have been broken.
When I play games, I always tend to collect everything and achieve all the endings.
Not just a perfect ending, but playing through every single ending...
I originally planned to write a new book, but after it reaches 100,000 words and makes its debut, I'll have to keep updating it.
That way you won't be too lazy.
The book was published in October, and now it's December, and it's only 50,000 words long.
Hopefully I can write a lot this month.
-----------------
This chapter inexplicably feels like a summary of the volume again.
Things are happening in many places in the fantasy world.
However, they only get a very small amount of screen time.
I really wanted to give Xiu Mi more playing time, but... given the current trend, even Bai Lu and Brave Warriors have had few opportunities to play.
(Actually, Bai Lu had already shown her face quite a bit in the previous instance.)
Not to mention Xiu Mi.
As for why Xiu Mi was specifically mentioned, but not Leng Qingying...
Because Leng Qingying is not weak.
However, a separate, episodic chapter will be dedicated to Xiumi.
It's not suitable at the moment.
This is equivalent to abandoning the main storyline to write purely side stories about Xiumi.
...
Chaos is indeed a very important part of the storyline.
Basically, starting from the volume "Multiple Paths", the plot gradually unfolds around chaos.
Every thread is related to chaos.
Both Lu Cang and Cang Qiong hold Chaos Godhood.
A perfect primordial chaos.
A chaotic mixture of light and darkness.
The laws of the Red Sage in the present world are also derived from the extraction of divine power from the void and chaos.
Before the dawn of light and darkness, chaos was born.
Each character in this volume goes from being scattered to coming together.
The dungeon is called 【Illusory Ruins】.
The themes I gave it were also [dreamy, unrealistic, chaotic...]
Therefore, it incorporates a large number of dream elements.
There are other reasons for this setup, of course, but we won't go into them now; that's a story for another time.
Some readers may have guessed that the various factions will be formed in the future, which was also planned at the beginning of Volume 3.
-----------------
I have my own interpretation of what I write.
However, this does not prevent readers from interpreting my thoughts from other perspectives.
I also don't want my writing to only have one definite answer.
For example, different readers have different opinions on which Lu Cang is the clone that was copied.
Oh, and one more question.
The name "Three Generations of Azure Sky" is indeed still in the guild, but because it's from a different era, its abilities cannot be used.
Only the name is present.
As an aside: The name Entimesis has a prototype (or rather, most of the names of gods have origins).
Saying we're going to fight Rona feels like a spoiler, but I think anyone could see that Rona is one of the final bosses of this volume...
As for the final outcome...
There was indeed no room for disclosure.
Who says Rona won't wipe everyone out? After all, Lu Cang was taken down (heh).
