Chapter 788 The Old Thief's Thoughts
Let me talk to you about something. This is a summary and reflection of the book. It may be a bit rambling. I hope you can read it patiently.
The original conception of this book is divided into two major stages. The first half tells the story of [Three Strongest Men and a Pendant], and the second half tells the story of [Shura, the Strongest Man of the Human Race].
Under this framework, the plot of the whole book unfolds little by little.
When I first wrote this book, I was recovering from a serious illness. My asthma was a little better. Two days before the book was published, I was lying in bed and couldn't move because of lumbar muscle strain.
Even the beginning I sent to the editor was only 2,000 words. The editor asked me to just publish the book.
The creation of the entire beginning was carried out in a very bad state.
At that time, I thought that I had just arrived at **, so I would write the first book to try my hand. It would be best if I could make a living. If I didn't have a meal, I could just drink soup.
This brought about a very bad chain reaction: the beginning was indeed 8 lines.
The old thief changed the beginning several times. Under the existing framework, the changes that can be made are limited. The old thief is hard to save.
Many friends will find bugs and deficiencies at the beginning, including the fact that the setting of [Ready to Go] at the beginning is very childish.
At that time, I thought, give the protagonist a cool and invincible damage skill.
Then I almost messed up the early stage.
Although I made a lot of compensation later, I also successfully recovered the foreshadowing that was expected.
However, the more the plot develops, the problems at the beginning are like stones in the soles of shoes, making people feel uncomfortable when walking.
The problems at the beginning are not a big deal.
The real feeling of this book is when the character [Ying Jiu] is created, the connection between the protagonist and the strongest is officially established, and gradually gets on the right track.
Therefore, with today's achievements, the old thief should give Jiu Ye a knock.
Jiu Ye's urine.
In the original idea, the direction of the plot should be: Huo Tianwang fights the Great Demon God to death, Ying Jiu reveals the truth about the death of Nightmare, and goes alone into the abyss of the strongest to preserve the last fire...
But when it comes to the time of the knife, the old thief can't do it.
From the perspective of purely commercial writing, in the battle between Huo Tianwang and the Great Demon God, exchanging one for one with the Great Demon God may be the best ending for the character of Huo Tianwang.
The atmosphere has been set up here, and it is a bit impolite for Lao Huo not to die.
Fortunately, Lao Huo has never been a polite person.
In the end, the framework was changed to the plot that everyone sees now.
In fact, before that plot, the number of readers of this book had been increasing, but after it was written, the number of readers dropped like a tap.
In other words, this plot choice is to some extent a failure. According to the established development, the results will be better.
Because of this change, the truth of [Nightmare Died in Battle] was dragged from more than 500,000 words to 700 chapters in one breath, and the impact on the whole book was infinitely magnified.
After posting this knife, the real feeling of Lao Zei was as if his energy and spirit were taken away, and the whole person instantly became weak.
Lao Zei now remembers that those two pictures were coded by staying up late, and they were posted together after they were finished.
Such an important plot, let alone two pictures, even if I write 20,000 words or 50,000 words, I can write it.
But when I was writing, I had only one thought in my mind, write it quickly, write it quickly...
After writing books for so many years, this is the first time I have been criticized.
I did a big one right at the beginning.
The readers were not shocked yet, but Lao Zei was shocked first.
It was very uncomfortable to write.
Since then, my writing state has actually been very bad until today.
Let's talk about the protagonist of this book, Ye Bai. I talked about it for nearly a thousand words in a single chapter, but Ye Bai didn't have any role at all, which was a bit embarrassing.
Regarding Ye Bai, Lao Zei would like to share his thoughts.
He is a young man between 18 and 19 years old. At this age, he is still childish and has just begun to show his talent.
Suddenly, he traveled through time, awakened his SSS-level talent, and the mission of saving the world came.
In addition to the initial excitement and nervousness, he was more confused and at a loss.
Ye Bai didn't know what he should do.
Kill the devil?
The demons have been driven away, the bloody battle is over, and the human race is defending against the enemy. It is not his turn to go to the battlefield yet.
Clean up the demon cult?
Half of the demon cult is under the surveillance of the human race, and the remaining half is simply undercover of the human race.
Play a 1V1 real man battle with the demon god?
It is a bit difficult for him.
Ye Bai looked at all the options around him and found that the only thing he could do was to pass the level, become stronger, and survive....
Ye Bai has always done these three things very well.
The efforts of the previous generations of the strongest people of the human race and the succession of countless strong people are to leave a safer and better growth environment for future generations.
Ye Bai is the strongest seed that grew up in such an environment.
In addition to these things, Ye Bai's restlessness and confusion in adolescence affect him all the time.
He would treat Jiu Ye as an elder, Ying San as a friend, and when he was fleecing Da Mengzi, he would not forget to find someone to help him make weapons...
Leaving Xue Meng aside, Ye Bai's account has always been in the red.
Even if Rick deducted the wages of his subordinates on weekdays, the people that Ye Bai deducted really didn't live on wages. They could just go to the battlefield and kill a demon war god, and the money would be enough.
Except Xu Qingfeng.
When Ye Bai was in a confused state, no one had ever asked him, as he was chosen, whether he was willing to be the strongest seed, whether he was willing to save the world, and whether he was willing to fight the strongest demon god?
Fortunately, the people Ye Bai met were willing to ask him.
That's why the strongest asked Ye Bai that question.
Are you willing to be the strongest?
If Ye Bai didn't want to, Nightmare, Wuhen, and Xiaoyao could pay for his choice and help the human race smoothly transition to the next era of the strongest seed.
That's why Ye Bai answered:
[I don't want to die for Cang, I want to live for Cang. ]
This sentence is Ye Bai's transformation from immaturity to maturity, from confusion to determination, from passively accepting [the chosen son] to actively taking on the responsibility of [the strongest seed].
Qin Wuyang could kill people in public at the age of fourteen, but he was so scared that he couldn't walk when he saw King Qin.
Some things are easy to think about, but when you really do them, it's like carrying thousands of mountains on your shoulders and moving forward, and there is a long way to go.
The road Ye Bai has taken has never been easy.
The setting that can be made public and will never change in this book: The strongest demon god is the most powerful existence, and only by the death battle of nine generations of human race's strongest can the strongest demon god be killed.
Nightmare and the strongest demon god fought to the death, and the result was: the strongest demon god was seriously injured and Nightmare died.
Wuhen and the seriously injured strongest demon god fought to the death, and the result was: the strongest demon god's injury worsened and Wuhen was on the verge of death.
Nightmare is the first strongest of the human race, and Wuhen is the strongest of the human race with the strongest killing power.
After Xiaoyao's battle with the strongest demon god, the strongest demon god will still be alive.
After Shura's battle with the strongest demon god, the strongest demon god will still be alive.
This is the fact Ye Bai knows, and this is the fate calculated by Xiaoyao.
Imagine facing such a situation, despair, helplessness, fighting for a cause that cannot see the light, having to sacrifice one's own life or even the lives of several generations, but in exchange for a high probability of failure...
The haze above Ye Bai's head and the pressure on his shoulders have always been great.
This is why, in his research report, Lan Lao repeatedly mentioned one thing: Shura needs a sense of security.
Because, he is really insecure.
Let's get back to the point.
In the original plan, after Xiaoyao's battle with the strongest demon god, the human race will usher in the Shura era, and the length should be the same as the length of the previous big plot, that is, 1.5 million words at the bottom.
This is why Lao Ze told everyone before that this book will be written 3 million words.
However, after writing Xue Jiu's plot, I always feel like writing to the end quickly and pressing the acceleration key for Xue Jiu's resurrection.
Deduct 1 to revive Xue Jiu, 1111111...
So the second half of the plot will be slightly cut.
Lao Ze picked a lucky number as usual.
Next month, that is, August 30th, it happens to be the 300th day since the book was opened. It should be completed on this day, with a total length of about 2 million words.
The book was finished on August 30th. I will take a day off and start a new book on September 1st.
The next book is about the growth of a truly powerful person, which will be more passionate and exciting.
Finally,
I hope that everyone can be treated gently by the world like Ye Bai in life.
Remember, you will always be the chosen one of your world.
By the way,
this book is a gentle story, I hope you will like it.
