The volume of "Naraku" has come to an end, so I would like to take this opportunity to chat with you a few more words.
This volume is the beginning of the second part of the book and can be regarded as the prologue of the second part. The protagonist plans a trap against Narakuten and the Tiangong in order to solve the hidden danger of being "descended by Narakuten".
Resolving this crisis is the prerequisite for the second part to let oneself go and show off one's talents, and the secrets of the gods and the square pot will gradually be revealed.
Here are two more focused questions to answer.
First of all, until the end of this volume, He Lingchuan did not get rid of the mark of Narutian in his mind. Instead, he chose to trap Narutian's clone so that it could not descend again, thus ensuring his own safety.
Some friends are very dissatisfied: Why not remove the clean marks? This will leave hidden dangers!
I understand everyone’s desire for perfection, but in reality there is a saying:
Things don't go as planned, seven or nine times out of ten.
You see, I don't even dare to type out the "eight" character in the middle, so you know how unsatisfactory it is.
Millions of high school students have studied hard for more than ten years. Why are there only a handful of people who end up going to Qingbei?
Don't you want to go?
I couldn't pass the exam.
Why are more and more terminally ill patients accepting the concept of "living with cancer"?
Don’t you want to be healthy and free from disasters and diseases?
It cannot be cured.
Similarly, is He Lingchuan so big-hearted that he doesn't want to remove the mark?
It cannot be driven away.
At least for now, if you can't drive it away, you can't drive it away.
In an objective environment and under limited conditions, no matter how big a country is or how small a person is, they must learn to make compromises, learn to go through curves to save the country, and learn to achieve the "best at the moment" state.
Survive and get through it first, then you will have unlimited possibilities.
This is true in reality, and it is also true in books.
I think this is a pragmatic and truth-seeking attitude, and this kind of character is powerful beyond perfection.
Second question: Why does He Jing have so many scenes? Author, can't you find another place to fill in the water? Why spend so much time on a supporting character?
I believe that many readers who have read the end of the volume will have their own judgments in their hearts, but this is a popular work after all. I hope to resolve their resentments as much as possible, so I will give a brief answer:
The Heavenly Palace is located above Lingxu City.
Lingxu City is the center of Bejia.
Bega is one of the most powerful nations in the world.
As the Duyun Envoy of the Tiangong, He Jing's status in the Tiangong is below one person and above ten thousand people. He is on the same level as Bai Ziqi. Demon Emperor Bejia was also polite to him when he saw him.
To write down such a character is disrespectful to the Heavenly Palace and also disrespectful to the gods. On a deeper level, it also disrespects the protagonist’s plans and efforts.
Secondly, the Tiangong team headed by He Jing is the main force in the battle in the Panlong Secret Realm. It is also the channel to understand the attitude of the gods towards Dafang Hu. It is also the reason why Naluotian's clone can be picked up by the Qiling Baogai when he sneaks into the secret realm.
Why did He Jing know that the secret realm was a trap, but when he saw the clone of Naluotian coming, he had to enter without any hesitation? This is also related to the secret of the square pot, which will be mentioned later, but here is a little foreshadowing.
Therefore, the entry timing of He Jing's team, the battle process, the final outcome, and the suspense left behind all need to be written and ink cannot be simplified.
He Jing's team has many roles, just like "The Utopia of Demons (Part 2)". At that time, Jiufang used more than a dozen perspectives to write it, with only one goal: to write the story well.
"Group portraits" are just means, not features. They must ultimately serve the story.
Having said this, have you noticed that "The Immortal" reads a little differently from other books. It is neither easy to summarize nor classify, so the story seems okay.
Maybe it’s because I purely wanted to write a good story in the book "The Immortal". All factors that affect the development of the story, such as emphasizing personality, showing off writing, etc., must be ranked after this sequence.
Others question my reversal for the sake of reversal, and my wisdom and logic. In fact, what you see are all saved manuscripts, which are the contents written by the author in response and careful consideration. It cannot be said that there are no obvious logical errors, but there are not many.
If you decide that it is a logical error, you might as well put your eye on it first, maybe there will be another explanation later?
As I write this, I sincerely tell you:
Jiufang has neither hydrology nor hydrology (except for the description of food. There is no way, people will always have some hobbies that are hopeless).
The reason why most authors write poorly is because they have nothing to write but want to stretch out the number of words, so they can only fill it with water.
But there is so much I have to write about:
In reality, the construction and expansion of the young master's territory, his relationship with Bailie, and the protagonist's participation in the grudges between Mou Guo, Lingshan, and Bejia.
The peak and contradiction of Panlong City in the Dafang Pot, the rise of Yuheng, the linkage between Panlong and Lingshan, and Bega/the war machine of the gods...
Of course, there is another hidden line, which is the secret planning of the gods.
I also said it beforehand. The second part of "Immortal" will reveal the secrets of gods, Mitian, Panlong City and Dafang Hu. Therefore, the role of Panlong World in the second part is very important. It is not only one of the main plots, but also plays a role. The outline serves as a wedge and reflects reality.
I will do my best to write it as vividly and wonderfully as possible. I also hope that my friends will invest more patience and grow together with He Lingchuan and Panlongcheng.
Look, there are so many main courses to be served, and I am so busy all day long that my heels hit the back of my head. Is it really necessary to fill up on water?
It’s not that there’s nothing to write about, it’s that there’s too much content to finish, and I can’t finish it at all.
But while adding content to the book, I also need to ensure that it is smooth, natural, and orderly, and that it reads smoothly, richly, and interestingly.
To put it simply, you need to control both the rhythm and the heat.
After all, a successful book cannot only have an outline and logic.
It is my ideal to present a unique aesthetic experience;
It is my mission to build a bridge between reality and books, and invite readers to step into the book to breathe and share the fate of the characters;
Letting everyone have a complete world than those who don't read this book is the "Tao" I strive for.
I came to the starting point just to prove this "Tao".
How about it, can you be honest enough? How many people writing books these days dare to talk about their ideals?
When I came to the starting point, I wanted to be extravagant in my ideals.
I hope everyone can become Jiufang’s book friends instead of customers.
For the book "Immortal", Jiufang is ready to do everything he can, and there is no spare time to take care of everyone's emotions.
Those who are beyond the reach of Jiufang, please consciously stay away from Jiufang.
Please respect everyone who works hard.
As for "Immortal", which has not yet surpassed 10,000 subscriptions, please don't worry. Once the editor opens his eyes, he will give a better recommendation and give it a little push. After all, switching from driving low and moving high to becoming a god is the script we are most familiar with. Why are we not confident?
Hi, of course, the ideals are abundant and the tasks are arduous.
I have never been a speed player. I have been writing books for nine years, and I have never been able to update 6,000 words for a long time in a year. So when I started the book "The Immortal", I prepared a manuscript of 500,000 words. I thought I could last at least two years. Who knew? It’s almost bottoming out now, cough.
It’s all because this book is much more difficult to write than before T_T
I have been adjusting my condition in the past two months, and have had a comprehensive physical examination, and all the problems found during the examination are being actively treated.
Now I have to exercise for 3 hours a day. I hope that various indicators can return to normal values as soon as possible, and I also hope to get rid of the bad habit of reversing day and night as soon as possible.
Jiufang will devote himself to the creation of the book "Immortal" with the healthiest body and the fullest state.
The next volume of "Bailie" will begin soon. The pace is slow in the beginning. I will update 5,000 words a day for now. I have to save some more manuscripts.
Goodbye, thank you all for your understanding and tolerance.
