The narrator said: Ye Yu, can you tell me the time point of this novel? I have been a little confused after reading it for a long time. Because you never have a clear time display.
Ye Yu said: "I did not tell you the specific time, but I did tell you some of the most critical events with time nodes, such as the senior high school entrance examination, which is usually June 7 or 89 every year." Speaking of which, do you know why we chose the college entrance examination on June 7 or 9? Because "678" is homophonic to "admit it". This is a blessing for every college entrance examination candidate. Therefore, at the beginning of the first chapter, the time when Ye Feng and Fatty were punished to stand in the corridor was probably around May. After that, the first time they met Ren Xiaojin, Jiang Yu, and Su Waner in the "ghost town" was probably in early June, but it was also because of that "ghost town" "In the incident, Ye Feng and Fatty missed the college entrance examination, but Ye Feng and Fatty didn't care. After all, Fatty is the second generation of rich people, and Ye Feng has no intention of changing his destiny through the college entrance examination, because the college entrance examination cannot change Ye Feng's destiny. But by the way, the college entrance examination is indeed a turning point for us ordinary people to change our destiny, so candidates should work hard.
Another example is the registration for the start of the university semester. Generally, the registration time for college freshmen is from early to mid-September. However, Ye Feng only met Li Dukang after attending the freshman entrance ceremony of Kyoto University and was invited to Yong'an to participate in the Wanbang Festival. And Wanbang is on the "10th of next month", which is October 10th. And I used the word "evening breeze and cool autumn" when describing a certain environment in the Yong'an incident. The autumn period is probably from September to November. Based on the above conditions, it is enough to deduce that Yongan's grand event of all nations will be October 10th. By now, it was probably around the end of November that Ye Feng and Su Waner went to explore the entrance to the Heavenly Lock Secret Realm.
The narrator said: Ye Yu, why did you take such a long detour? Can't you just write the month directly? Is it unhealthy to play riddles with readers?
Ye Yu smiled and said: Am I sick? Maybe he is really sick!
The novel "The Rebellion of Mortal Immortals" is an imaginary world based on our reality, but it is not completely imaginary. It can be regarded as a "semi-imaginary world". Otherwise, how could I quote ancient history and play modern "memes" in the novels of Xianxia?
Otherwise, if you think about it, it would be very dramatic for a purely imaginary world to suddenly pop up with modern memes. To give you an example (this is a modern meme), can you imagine Han Li in "The Mortal's Cultivation of Immortality" saying "The chicken is so beautiful"? Both the author and the readers are only modern people. To increase the interest of the novel, we must rely on modernity. After all, how many modern authors are really proficient in the jokes of ancient people, and how many modern people can understand them? So at this time, I can basically only add the setting of "traveler" to round out this contradiction, but my world view does not need to be that round. Because there is no contradiction, this is a benefit.
But at the same time as it has advantages, this is also its most fatal weakness.
You ask me why I don’t write specific months and only use the environment and four-season climate instead. Then I ask you, if I write the month, should I write the year? If I write the month but not the year, then I am really sick! So I simply stopped writing.
Since this is a semi-imaginary world based on reality, how old is it now in the novel? I have also given some foreshadowing and hints about this to calculate a mathematical problem: the start and end time of the Tang Dynasty is 618-907. Su Waner has seen the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. Su Waner is in the Nascent Soul Realm and has a lifespan of 1600 years. It's all gone, and Ye Feng's 200 years are not enough to come out of the time-displaced space. It can be imagined that the world in the story is at least 25 years old. This can also be deduced.
but!

The problem lies with the Shen Feng Special Forces. Do you think that such a weak organization has the nerve to have five divisions? It even boasts that it is divided into five divisions: Central China, East China, West China, South China and North China. You must know that the current Shen Feng Special Team is so weak that it is almost impossible to stick to West China. Am I stupid for this?
In this world, people usually look at things with subjective biases, so they naturally cannot reach objective conclusions. You think I'm stupid and the settings are unreasonable, so naturally you can't see through the meaning of the foreshadowing I left. But if you think my setting is reasonable, you can go back and push it further. In all things in the world, there must be yin and yang, and there must be prosperity and decline. If the Shen Feng Special Forces is weak now, then it must have its peak. And "Shen Feng Special Forces" is not the name of a country! It’s just the name of an organization!
Throughout history, we know that there is no dynasty that lasts for ten thousand years. After the Qin Dynasty, the longest-lived dynasty was the Han Dynasty, which only lasted 405 years. The replacement of dynasties is a historical necessity, and the carriage of history will not stop for anyone. But the groom driving the carriage will change.
Time is truly amazing. “In ten years, we can see the passing of spring and autumn, in a hundred years, we can see birth, old age, illness and death, in a thousand years, we can see the change of dynasties, and in ten thousand years, we can see the stars changing. High mountains can turn into deep valleys, and vast seas can turn into mulberry fields.”
Any wise emperor understands that "no dynasty lasts forever", but everyone knows that if you rush up to tell the emperor that your dynasty will perish sooner or later, and if you cannot prove that you have any special value, Then the emperor will definitely tell you:
"Well, I understand. Thank you. Now you are useless. Someone, drag me down and chop him down!"
So the above is the reason why I would rather use the four seasons, climate and events to hint at the time, rather than write it outright. This is limited by my semi-imaginary world view.
To sum up, Narrator, you feel that the timeline is confusing and you are confused. Is it because of me, or is it because of you who is unwilling to pay attention to details, foreshadowing, and use your brain to think?
The narrator yelled: Get out of here! Then Ye Yu, why does the college entrance examination still exist?
Ye Yudao: Only when an excellent system and culture is accepted by the people can it have real vitality and leave a mark in history.
Only then will the people truly and spontaneously continue that excellent system and culture. This is why I said before that "the people are the creators of history."
In the story, the "Mortal Immortal Civilization" has not yet been universally recognized by mortals and immortal cultivators, so Ye Feng is needed to protect it. But as time goes by, when everyone realizes the superiority of the "Mortal Immortal Civilization", both mortals and immortal cultivators will spontaneously maintain it and continue it. Even if Ye Feng is gone at that time, the mortal civilization will not disappear.
And this is why Ye Feng is full of confidence and confidence in the "Mortal Immortal Civilization".
And Ye Feng also firmly believes that "mortal civilization" is the key to unlocking the curse of this world where "the weak eat the strong and strength is respected".
