The second volume is finished.
This volume is a bit long. There is too much content and it is not easy to summarize. If I want to summarize them one by one, it will be too long.
In fact, in this volume, I want to highlight two things. One is the evil profession.
Originally, in my setting, the evil professions were pure evil people. After thinking about it, I realized that this setting was too thin. Some people are born evil, and some people are forced into danger.
Hence the concept of "evil occupations are the fire of human karma".
Continuing to think along this concept, there is another evil professional existence that can redeem itself, that is, the team members of Wuhen Hotel.
The opposite of the evil profession is the lawful profession, which is the official organization of the Five Elements Alliance.
Therefore, the second thing that wants to be highlighted emerges: must official organizations be absolutely just and kind?
I have seen many, and in most of them, they tend to be official organizations of superpowers. Everyone is selfless and warm-blooded and kind-hearted.
This seems to have become a fixed mindset, so many people complained about the Five Elements Alliance, and some "big names" who specialized in commenting on online articles criticized it, saying that the official organization in the spiritual realm was strange.
Weird? Not surprisingly!
As we grow older, we will gradually find that using "kindness" and "justice" to define officialdom is very narrow.
Kindness and justice can only define an individual.
You can say that there are kind and righteous people in official organizations, and there are many of them, but you cannot use them to define and describe an organization.
If kindness and justice can be used to define the officialdom, then how to explain the black sheep who seek personal gain with their power and use public weapons for personal use? And there are quite a few such people, right?
I said in the book that if I had to use one word to define officialdom, it would be: lawful!
Maintaining overall stability and order and allowing most people to have a safe and harmonious living environment are the responsibilities and essence of all official organizations at home and abroad throughout the ages.
Therefore, it is realistic that there are many black sheep in the lawful professions of the Five Elements Alliance.
Let’s talk about the attitude of the ten elders towards the prop god. For these powerful peak masters, their first consideration is definitely not the organization or the overall situation, but their own power and interests.
Many people believe that the protagonist is extremely talented and will achieve great achievements in the future, so the high-ranking people in the lawful organization should support him selflessly and hold him high.
Of course there are such people, but they are definitely not the majority.
Yuanshi Tianzun is not their biological son, but an extremely talented outsider. If he grows up, for the ten elders at the peak of power in the Five Elements Alliance, their first thought must be: This kid is not under control at all. Will he suppress us in the future? power?
People are selfish.
A talented and extremely gifted person will only be respected and supported by the organization under one condition, and that is in times of war.
Longing for an era when heroes can turn the tide.
But the background in the book does not fit that era.
In peaceful and prosperous times, power struggle is the eternal mainstream.
Let’s talk about the plot at the end of the volume. In fact, I originally planned to kill Madoka. After careful consideration, I gave up this idea. It’s not that I couldn’t bear it, but it didn’t meet my expectations.
Yuanshi Tianzun's extreme one-for-four operation at the trial was because I wanted to express and highlight his character.
Like Demon Eye, he is a surly and extreme idealist. If you touch my bottom line and moral standards, then I will fight with you to the death, even if the person involved in the incident has nothing to do with me. Too big a relationship.
And if Madoka is also killed, it will become Yuanshi Tianzun who is angry because of love, and the situation will be greatly reduced.
I am the devil's eye, and the devil's eye is me. This is Zhang Yuanqing's emotion after recognizing himself.
It's just that the paranoia and madness of the Demon Eye are intuitively visible, while Zhang Yuanqing's paranoia and madness are wrapped in an exquisite coat.
Then let’s talk about the progress of this book. It should be four million words. Four million words is the bottom line. I don’t know the specific number yet because I haven’t made an outline of the follow-up content yet.
Therefore, I have to take two days off to allow me to calm down and think about the outline of the third volume.
Finally, let’s talk about the current results of this book: 220,000+ subscriptions, and 180,000 additional subscriptions.
Maybe we can get an average booking of 300,000 by the end of the year, I’m not sure, let’s see...
Well, see you the day after tomorrow, my dear readers.
