Title of the opening chapter: I hope everyone can help recommend this book and feel comfortable with it.
Why do I hope everyone can help me...because the results of this book are not very good...
To be honest, many times, I thought about giving up on this novel and just starting the next one.
However, because I can always see everyone’s praise in book reviews and comments, I persevere again and again.
This is a very painful and very happy process. (Quietly, in order to read the good reviews, I check the writer's backend basically once an hour...)
I used to be a bookworm like everyone else. Before I wrote novels myself, I didn’t know that writing novels was very difficult.
At the same time, before I wrote it by hand, I would not have known that I was stuck on writing almost every day...
In addition, the speed at which I write novels is actually not very fast. When I am slow, I can only write a thousand words an hour, and when I am the fastest, I can only write two thousand words an hour... Adding in the time for conception, it takes a lot of time to update four thousand words a day. I take five or six hours.
Sometimes I have no inspiration, for example: I don’t know how to write at all. How do I move the story forward? I want to write about that place as interesting, but how do I make it interesting?
Thinking about various problems, they are never easy to solve.
The four authors around me who started their books at almost the same time have already killed three people...
There was someone with better grades than me who cut it ridiculously fast.
I myself thought about giving up several times.
Some book friends have said before that the previous writing was not very good or something, or that it was suspected of being abusive to the main text, and they were trying to persuade me to quit...
So sometimes I wonder if the results are not very good because of the flaws in the front.
Why not just cut it, open the next one, and save the story for the next one.
However, sometimes I have to lament the wonder of fate. On the day I wanted to cut it, the comment section received five positive reviews in one day!
Five!
Forget it, keep writing.
So I persisted.
In order to persevere, I tried not to look at other people's results, and then at night I would read the good reviews in the comment section one by one, and I would constantly walk on the school playground to open my mind and look for inspiration.
Many times, I always think:
Why should I write a book?
The answer is actually very simple.
I used to be a bookworm, basically from elementary school to university. From the very early "Zhu Xian" to the present.
And many times I want to make different choices from the protagonist.
So, I want to create my own story, a story that is different from most people’s.
To this end, I can say that I have been practicing for a year, preparing a unique world view and system, some spiritual core that other people's works do not have, and constantly thinking, researching, and honing my own problems.
After doing so much, when I put my hands on the keyboard and prepared to type, I only came for one thing.
I want to shock my own soul!
I can't help but get goosebumps when I look directly at my story.
To me, the story is as old as anything else.
So you can see:
Christopher was canonized in the fire singing hymns;
Moses struggled in the desert until he came out of Egypt with those who had not lost hope.
I want to shock my own soul!
I write novels just to make myself tremble!
After reading online articles for so many years, I have forgotten many plots. Therefore, when I started writing this book, I thought that only soul-shaking plots will not be forgotten.
Having said that, let’s talk about the content of this book.
I studied theology for a while.
So I understand better what faith is.
I have actually read other people’s novels about the Kingdom of God. Most of these novels probably lack a key thing in their novels because the authors have not understood it in depth.
Belief.
It's just that... you feel as if the protagonist is indeed a god and has a kingdom of gods and so on. However, the world in the book is very lacking in belief in gods.
In some novels, faith values, faith meters and the like are simply used. It's like faith is a rational number that can be quantified and then converted into energy...
If this is the case, faith will become a cold thing.
Because I am a person who thinks about innovation, I don’t like it, and I don’t want to use any faith value, let alone the protagonist having any system (I don’t like systems).
When I thought about this question, my faith naturally connected with my story.
In my eyes, faith has its meaning.
So when I conceived the plot of Christopher, I knew that faith was enough to shake my soul.
So, how should I think about stories about faith?
I often think, often debate with myself, constantly delve into theology, and read various books...
Eventually, I got my answer.
People believe in God, and God also trusts people.
Armed with this answer, I was able to better frame my story.
And the first step I have to do is:
I have to let "Chen Yi" trust people first.
So when Chen Yihui met Christopher and the latter chose to save, that sense of trust had already begun to be established.
Speaking of Chen Yi, some people only read the front part, and then left messages saying...what a human being, not the god they want to see...then stopped watching, and told others not to watch either...
It's sad to see these comments.
Because Chen Yi will be a complete human being and also a complete God.
What I learned about theology influenced me.
Perfect man and perfect God are actually theological acknowledgments and are not in conflict with each other.
And it would be weird to write about a god who gained humanity from the beginning...
So I wrote that Chen Yi attained divinity by a human being.
By the way, several book friends have left messages saying "I am God!" 》, so that I can study.
The author is also an old author, "I am God!" "I later found the time to read it. To be honest, I really benefited a lot. I am a little grateful to the author for writing such a work.
However, the two books actually have different ideas... to be precise, their starting points are somewhat different.
"I am God!" "The writing is more similar to the Creator and the evolution of civilization.
What I wrote is more like the story of Homer and the Messiah...
To put it figuratively speaking, the gods of the former are relatively superior.
The God of this book is the “Lord who loves us” in the words of the saints.
Although they all have an epic feel, but in my case, I really pursue that kind of feeling that shocks the soul.
Theologically speaking, it is: Convince

It’s hard to write a review for the release, I hope you don’t find it too long-winded.
Next, I want to talk about writing.
I am a person who pursues writing very much.
And part of the reason why I can write until now is because my writing style supports me.
I hope to write good sentences.
There is one thing that I always remember. When I was in junior high school, there was an essay about writing style and literary talent. I remember that I wrote it very well, but I forgot the specific content.
The only thing I still remember is that just from the beginning, the Chinese teachers of the entire grade were shocked.
It starts like this:
"As soon as you read the words I follow, you will know that you will be disappointed."
This beginning impressed the teachers immediately.
Then I got 59 points, I guess.
My Chinese teacher said that this sentence has a bit of a literary flavor.
This sentence has always inspired me and forced me to constantly hone my writing skills.
Therefore, in this book, the writing style is always online, and there are many sentences that I carefully wrote or accumulated over many years.

Having said that, let’s go back to the beginning.
I just hope that everyone can help recommend and download this book, recommend it to friends around you, post something like that...
I can shamelessly say that the quality of this book has always been online...
At least there is no "land" regardless of...
I hope everyone will recommend the book... In fact, there is another shameless reason: some books that are not as good as mine have much better grades than mine... This is a big gap.
By the way, I would like to express my gratitude to the book friends, bar friends who have always supported me, the timid oranges and my editor, who have given me a lot of support.
Go ahead and code, I have to write a better plot!
