Single Chapter: Write Patiently, Read Patiently
Hello fellow readers.
This is a rare single chapter that tells a few things.
Regarding the fifth volume of the Demon King's Hegemony, this is the end. This volume is indeed very long and will be the longest in the entire book. But there is no way, Fang Yuan's strength span in this volume is the largest, he has truly grown from a chess piece to a chess player. I believe everyone will understand after seeing this.
To be honest, the pressure of writing the fifth volume is very high. Compared with the previous volumes, and even the upcoming last volume, it is the heaviest.
There is so much to describe.
This battle involves the entire Five Realms, as well as individual cave worlds. It can be said that it covers the entire map of the novel.
There are at least sixty forces involved, including Wu Yong, Chi Quyou, Song Qiyuan, Shen Congsheng, Shen Shang, Zhang Yin, Rong Po, the Five Elements Master, Bing Saichuan, Mao Liqiu, Fang Dichang, Long Gong, Qin Dingling, Fairy Ziwei, Yuan Qiongdu, Fang Yuan, Bai Ningbing, Ying Wuxie, Di Zangsheng, Demon Lord Ghost, Xingxu, Honglian, Yuanlian, Kuangman, Ye Fan, Hong Yi, Feng Jinhuang, Feng Jiuge and so on.
There are so many characters!
Each of these characters has their own cultivation level, and some are just mortal Gu masters, such as Feng Jinhuang. Some are extremely powerful, such as Fang Yuan, Feng Jiuge, and Duke Long.
They have their own killer moves. For example, Duke Long’s two combat systems and more than a dozen killing moves are designed to fit his image. Wu Yong's ultimate moves, Infinite Wind and Friend-Sending Wind, these two, one good and one evil, complement each other. Fang Yuan has more killing moves, including Honglian's method, Song Qiyuan's killing move, and Shen Zhi's method. All require detailed and coherent descriptions.
Each of these characters has their own agenda. For example, Bing Saichuan who wants to complete Ju Yang's legacy, Wu Yong who has ambitions, Duke Long who sacrifices everything for heaven, Fang Yuan who wants eternal life, Hong Lian who wants to overturn fate, etc.
These characters are not only current, but also deceased. For example, the sages of the past dynasties, such as Wu Yong's mother Wu Duxiu.
These characters should be as flesh-and-blood as possible. For example, Red Lotus Demon Lord, Duke Long, and Fang Yuan. These three are all focused on description, which I believe will leave a deep impression on readers. What I want to achieve more is some small characters, and they must also have their trademarks. For example, Yuan Qiongdu, the key figure responsible for repairing the Fate Gu, chose to sacrifice himself at a critical moment. I believe it will leave many impressions on readers. This character's memories of the two wars in his previous life and this life can be combined to form his own story. What is demonstrated is a concept of responsibility. This aspect also echoes the heavy responsibility brought by the free Gu in "The Legend of the Ancestors of the People". Other little people, such as Ye Fan and Hong Yi, also have their own adventures. Regarding Qin Song, this character is a member of Tianting Immortal Tomb. He had very few scenes in his previous life, but he showed his power in this life. The teleportation formation in heaven also depends on him to complete.
These characters all have their own dramatic changes in life. For example, Feng Jiuge changed from the righteous path to the demonic path and openly betrayed the heaven. There are actually a lot of foreshadowings about his transformation. For example, he himself is a hermit and has fought against the ten ancient sects. Another example is that Duke Long once asked Feng Jinhuang if he believed in fate. Feng Jinhuang said he didn't believe it. Duke Long once reflected on the reason and felt that part of the problem lay with Feng Jiuge. This is a tutoring issue. These foreshadowings will be clear to everyone after reading them again. Another example is Feng Jinhuang. She was the seed of the Great Dream Immortal, but the fate Gu was destroyed, her destiny was gone, and her father betrayed her again. Where should she go? Another example is Fang Yuan's clone room chief, what will he encounter if he is trapped in the Emperor's Palace?
With so many characters, they started an unprecedented chaos around the fate Gu, so they had to consider the layout very carefully.
I believe that this is not only the most unprecedented war in this book, but also a rare large-scale war in the online literature world.
Because it involves so many characters and the map is so vast, it is already very rare. What's even more difficult is that this battle has to be fought twice, one failed before Fang Yuan was reborn, and the other succeeded after Fang Yuan was reborn.
These two wars need to be compared before and after, and they need to be advanced layer by layer. There can't be too many bugs, and they also need foreshadowing.
In the three sections from 943 to 945, you should be able to see the foreshadowing I have carefully laid out before. These foreshadowings began to be laid more than half a year ago and have only been activated now. On the surface, these foreshadowings are just unrelated stories that must be well disguised. Then when they appear together, the author's true intentions are revealed. Fortunately, no readers have seen through this yet.
In order to achieve my writing goals, I need to refine the characters. In addition to starting the layout half a year ago, I also need a collision of ideas.
In the last war, I mainly wrote about the concept of heaven, and many people were moved by it. In this world war, I mainly write about the ideas of Fang Yuan and Honglian, and many people are passionate about this.
This is exactly what I want to achieve.
Only collisions and victories at the conceptual level can demonstrate their respective greatness, and help understand the motivations and behaviors of these characters.
I write about these ideological battles because I want to deepen the battle between good and evil discussed in this book.
What is the light of the righteous path, and what is the darkness of the evil path?
Mature people know that the world is not black and white. The boundaries between righteousness and evil, darkness and light are actually very blurry.
The first half of the book focuses on the difference between good and evil. The second half begins to describe the commonalities between good and evil.
Sometimes the right way is the evil way, and from another perspective, the evil way is the right way.
This is not the most superficial concept of "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."
For example: The greatness of heaven and the justice of sacrifice are indeed magnificent. But Liu Shuxian's strong will to sacrifice herself and help Honglian become a master is actually against human nature. Isn't this a kind of magic? Hong Lian loved her at first and was reborn, but in the end he killed Liu Shuxian with his own hands. This was more of a human choice.
Another example: Fang Yuan, the big devil, became the biggest contributor to the destruction of Fate Gu. We all know that he has deep demonic nature, and his starting point is just to pursue eternal life, which is very selfish. But judging from his actions and results alone, he liberated the entire human race, allowing them to get rid of the shackles of fate and gain freedom. Isn't this a kind of justice?
After writing this large volume, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Expected goals: 1. Character creation, 2. Layout and foreshadowing, 3. Concept collision, 4. Deepening of the concept of good and evil.
I'm mostly done.
In order to achieve this goal, I changed the outline more than a dozen times. When I was conceiving the foreshadowing, I discarded most of the foreshadowing that seemed very obvious. Often when I am conceiving, I will sit in front of the table all day long, write drafts one after another, and then throw away the drafts one after another. There were too many characters involved, so I agreed to write out the descriptions, moves, etc. of these characters. There were hundreds of pieces of paper in total. When I was writing, I covered my desk full of books.
I explain these facts not to praise myself, but to explain: I wrote this book with all my heart!
I admit that I write slowly, but there is no way. If I write fast, I am not strong enough and prone to mistakes.
I know that I have been writing this book for about five or six years, which is a long time. But I have to be patient when writing. The later I get, the more patient I have to be and the more calm I have to be!
Therefore, I would like to appeal to all my dear readers:
I write patiently, and I ask you to read patiently!
There is a difference between this book and most online articles. The differences in writing, layout, subject matter, and plot construction require everyone to show more tolerance, understanding, and expectations when reading!
I am confident to say: as long as you read it to the end, this book will definitely satisfy most readers.
First, I urge everyone to read patiently.
Secondly, I hope everyone will support me!
Please support genuine reading.
A section is about 3,000 words, which is only a few cents. But it will take me about two hours to code it out.
My novel chapters are also different from most online articles. I need to think more and put more effort into the layout before writing.
The energy and effort that other people spend writing 3,000 words are different from the energy and effort that I spend writing 3,000 words. But our pricing is the same and we get the same money.
But I am willing to put more thought and energy into trying to present you a living world of Gu and a different reading experience.
In fact, because of the dark label of this book and the strange writing style, I have been criticized and misunderstood. Let this work become more niche.
The book is now coming to its last volume.
Everyone's destiny will come to an end. Such as Fang Yuan, such as Fang Zheng, such as Shang Xinci, such as Bai Ningbing. The defeat of Heavenly Court brought about a different kind of chaos in the five realms. The shadows of Hong Lian, Ghost Soul and other major sages will also become more and more intense, becoming many obstacles on Fang Yuan's path forward. The secrets of the Blue Dragon Whale, the Mad Demon Cave, the mysterious Black Fire, etc. will also be revealed one by one. "Human Ancestor Biography" will also be updated completely. The concept of this book will truly be elevated to the level I want to write about. The themes of this book will really shine through as well.
Please support genuine reading and read patiently.
Please look forward to: The last volume of "Gu Zhenren" - the immortality of the Demon Lord!
