God Emperor

I finished it yesterday. I have been in a state of excitement and feel nothing.

But when I woke up this morning, I felt bad all over. I really felt empty, as if a best friend I had known for nine years had suddenly left forever.

For me, the Eternal God Emperor is the best friend.

He spends more time with me every day than my wife. In the past nine years, more than three thousand days and nights, all the energy and thinking have been devoted to it every day, and the focus of life has been entirely placed on it.

Many readers said, "With the end of the Eternal God Emperor, my youth is over", "With the end of the Eternal God Emperor, my youth has another scar"...

In fact, the person who suffered the most was me.

For everyone, it may be just those ten minutes every day, a small expectation before getting up in the morning and going to bed, and a habit that has been with you for several years.

For me, it was everything I had for nine years.

After sitting there all morning, my energy finally came back, and it was only at four o'clock in the afternoon that I finally started writing this final statement.

Where to start?

Let’s first talk about the growth process of Eternal God Emperor. It was released on Chuangshi Chinese website on July 3, 2015, and was put on the shelves in August. It was the most ordered book on QQ Book Store at that time.

A few months later, on March 1, 2016, the single-day sales exceeded 30,000, breaking the highest sales record of QQ Bookstore at that time.

A few months later, in October 2016, both orders exceeded 30,000.

Why I remember it so clearly is because I posted it on Moments to show off. In 2016, the daily sales volume was 30,000 yuan and the average order was 30,000 yuan, which is still very valuable.

In the same year, with the performance of this book, he became one of the first twelve kings of China Literature.

The following year, I got a great contract.

In 2018, QQ browser was launched and quickly topped the best-selling list.

Later, it was put on WeChat Bookstore and Baidu Mobile, and almost all of them quickly ranked first. It is not the best-selling book on New Media, but it is one of the best-selling books.

According to an editor, as long as the Eternal God Emperor goes to a new channel, he will basically kill indiscriminately.

According to a platinum author friend, the Eternal God Emperor has basically swept through every traffic bonus of China Literature Group.

2021 and 2022 are considered to be the years when the Eternal God Emperor's performance is at its peak. Almost all search platforms on the entire Internet rank first in the year's most popular searches. It was also this year that I got a platinum contract.

Anti-theft should start in the second half of 2022, and the subscriptions of QQ Bookstore and Qidian will begin to increase significantly. It will reach the peak by the end of 2024, and subscriptions will become the first on both platforms.

Of course, after preventing theft, there is also a place for readers who may not be so well-off to read books for free, which is the QQ browser. I think QQ browser has more readers than the second to tenth place combined.

Recording finished!

There is some showing off, but not much.

Let’s talk about the most criticized update…

In fact, before 2017, updates were very stable, at least 6,000 words per day.

From 2017 to 2020, it was relatively stable, although the interruption was more serious. On average, there were 5,000 words per day.

The most serious interruption was after the surgery in 2023, which basically lasted two days and one chapter.

I have analyzed why this is the case more than once, and have also talked about it before.

I am really exhausted both physically and mentally!

From the time I started writing the book in 2011 to 2017, I never took more than a day off in the past five or six years.

I know, everyone will not believe it, but this is the fact.

At that time, I wrote at least 9,000 words almost every day, finished one book, and started publishing new books the next day.

With my coding speed, anyone who has watched the live broadcast knows that writing 9,000 words means that all the time of the day is spent on it.

Friends around me envy us the freedom of time to write books, but I envy those who have the opportunity to take two consecutive days off a year, and those who can relax a little after get off work.

When is the happiest time as an author writing a book?

That’s when I finish writing today’s updates.

Physical fatigue, secondly, and more importantly, psychological fatigue.

What I feel now is that I can no longer write a book with more than 10 million words. It is too tiring. Various characters, various settings, and various details have been piling up in my mind... more and more, more and more……

This feeling of exhaustion really gets more and more serious the longer I write a book.

In the eighth or ninth year of writing, it was really... To be honest with everyone, I just gritted my teeth and persevered because I looked at the background royalties. Therefore, you don’t need to sympathize with me, I just dare to finish the book and have fun with you.

When writing a new book, I think that if it is completed with four to five million words, it will be written more quickly, and it will basically be completed in two years. When it reaches six to seven million words, the update may not be stable enough. With eight to nine million words, it is estimated that it will take five or six years to finish.

In fact, Wan Ben's strongest emotions were three years ago.

That year, I had nightmares several times, always realizing that I was finished.

Some readers felt that the finale came too quickly.

But in fact, this book started to come to an end three years ago. Except for a small copy of Dihuang that must be opened for reincarnation, no characters or maps were added, and no new plot was expanded. The overall development of the plot is just the beginning. Contraction.

It can be said that the two to three million words of the plot in the past two to three years are all plots that serve the ending.

This year, on the surface, only the last few chapters are the finale. But in fact, all the plots written this year are the finale, all written around the final battle, and it has always been the acceleration period of the finale.

Some readers may not believe that this is the acceleration period? They think that many places are still water.

Let me put it this way. Since this year, I have almost had to go back to several previous places to fill in the previous holes and connect the previous and subsequent plots for each chapter. But most readers have actually forgotten these holes and don’t care at all.

Just like the final battle, the plots and roles of nearly a hundred characters were written. But there may be only a few that everyone cares about.

There are too many readers. As long as there is a character that is not written, there will be readers who ask to write it. But when it is really written, 80 to 90 percent of readers will complain about the water, because they have forgotten that character.

Writing the finale in this way is my own insistence, letting most of the characters show their faces, which is a collective curtain call.

Just like many readers, they have no impression of Lin Lingshan, Zi Qian, Qi Feiyu, and Yu Lingshen, but I must write it at the end.

Because I know there must be readers who still remember it.

At the same time, I must also give an explanation to the character in my mind. This is your youth, and it is also my youth.

Other important characters can appear in the extra chapters, but they will definitely not appear in the extra chapters.

Many readers think that Huang Yanchen is not written in the finale, but in fact, I have put a lot of energy into it.

For example, this sentence "Thinking back to the time when I was young, the heroic spirit broke through the clouds, Qianshui fought with swords and Fengwantai, like raining golden jade leaves, and the red sleeves waved in the building."

In fact, it describes the most important moment of Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen. Qianshui County, Fengwantai and Jinyuye, how many people remember it?

The finale is written back to Liangyi Sect, Changshengyuan and Zixia Lingshan where Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu lived. How many of you remember the stories that happened to Zhang Ruochen, Mu Lingxi, and the Holy Book Talent there?

Every specific place description, every detail, is a long story behind it.

I want to write about Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, Zhen Miao, Ao Xinyan, Yuntai Zongfu, Wushi Academy, Jiuyou Sword Master and Hongyu Xingshi of Yipintang in the black market, the grave where Zhang Ruochen helped Han Xue bury her mother, and Lei Jing's descendants...

I want to write about the old and frail Chen Wutian and Pei Yutian, and see the young talents in the new "Heroes' Ode" in their prime, accompanied by beautiful women, drunken and singing, to reminisce about their past. But in the end, it only turned into a simple sentence in the finale.

I have too many things to write, but in the end they were all selected and deleted, and they can't be too dragged out.

We need to find a balance between the fullness of the plot and the fast and slow rhythm.

Because there are enough, I have written ten chapters based on what everyone thinks is the finale of "a fierce or tragic fight, the protagonist kills the enemy with force, and most of the people on the side die". It's enough, and many readers already think it's dragged out, because they have forgotten those characters and those people, so there is no point in writing these plots.

But I remember that I felt it was meaningful.

The author wrote the book for the readers, but this finale is the end of my youth. I have to give myself the most important explanation, and I am more serious than anyone else.

In the last one or two months, in order to write the finale well, I almost never went out for parties. All parties were postponed, and all things were postponed.

In the finale, I gave spring to Baiyi Valley and Juemiao Zen Girl, but I didn't expect that everyone had forgotten Haishui.

I gave summer to Huangtian, Yuyao, and Bai Qing'er. They had a miserable life and deserved such a warm and peaceful summer.

I gave autumn to those people in Liangyi Sect and Baiyue Shenjiao, because many old people withered like leaves in the wind!

I left winter to Zhang Ruochen. In this life, he finally walked out of the cold and misery.

After spring, summer, autumn and winter, Zhang Ruochen's life went in reverse, and he came to the winter solstice at the beginning of the story. After eating hot venison soup, everything in the past was gone forever.

For me, this ending took all my efforts and was worth my nine years of hard work.

All the holes were filled in the past two or three years. All the people were explained in the past two or three years.

For readers who pursue a complete story, let it end after the six reincarnations are established!

Reincarnation itself was intentionally established by the protagonist when Lin Lan died.

But when I write books, I always like open endings and don’t like to directly seal the readers’ imagination.

So the following plot is another choice for another part of readers who are unwilling to end the story like this.

Of course, the author himself is not willing to end the story like this!

Life is a banquet that must end!

It is impossible for a book to accompany you for a lifetime. Thank you for your company along the way.

From today on, we will see each other in the rivers and lakes.

We are all men, and we don’t need too many words when we say goodbye.

Take care, everyone, look forward, the road ahead is long and bright.

Readers who are interested in the new book and the next story can continue to read.

……

…………

Readers who can finish reading 14 million words from the beginning must be the readers who like this book the most and are the readers who are most tolerant of the author.

Readers who can finish reading a book of one or two million words are already considered loyal fans. Readers who can finish reading more than 10 million words and can tolerate the author writing one chapter every two days are… divine readers!

Having such a group of readers is something that any author in the online literary circle would envy. If you don't believe me, just ask any author.

Regarding the new book, I talked to everyone during the live broadcast. It is highly likely that Chi Kongle or Zhang Hongchen will be the main female protagonist.

According to the current world view, the length will not be short, and it should be around 8 to 9 million words.

Compared with the concise points of this book, the main point is that the main line will be entered faster in the early stage, and the main characters will not be written as many and as miscellaneous as the Eternal God Emperor.

The characters of the Eternal God Emperor are written too much, and readers can't remember them after a long time.

This is what I think is the biggest shortcoming of the Eternal God Emperor.

In fact, the main characters can be slightly reduced, and the stories of the characters can be written more fully.

In addition, the Eternal God Emperor has two settings, which did not have much impact at the beginning, but as the subsequent length increases, these two settings give me a headache.

The first setting is that the vitality of the gods is very strong and it is difficult to kill.

The second setting is that the gods can self-destruct the source of the gods to threaten the opponent.

If these two settings appear in the later stage, the impact will not be too great.

But writing it in the stage of gods will greatly affect the design of subsequent plots. Gods have strong vitality, so great gods are naturally stronger, God Kings and God Lords are stronger, Immortal and Infinite are stronger, and Heavenly Lords are stronger...

If they keep getting stronger, it will be difficult for the protagonist to kill the opponent easily...It is unreasonable to kill easily.

In short, it will greatly affect the advancement of the plot.

The impact of the self-destructing source of gods is that with this setting, any god must consider this when facing a death crisis.

Writing each one of them will seem extremely meaningless.

But if you don't write one, readers will find it unreasonable.

These two settings are my biggest headache in the later stage and are difficult to deal with. So the new book will definitely make adjustments!

Of course, the cultivation method of the new book is completely independent of the worldview in the early stage.

If Chi Kongle is the heroine, the feeling of getting along with the hero of the new book may be the combination of the early protagonist and Feng Tian, ​​a genius and a strong man.

Or it may be the early protagonist and the Moon Goddess, where everyone has mutual interests. The protagonist needs the protection of the Moon Goddess, and the Moon Goddess needs the protagonist to help her do things that she is not convenient to do.

It's too early to say these now.

It all depends on the development of the plot. Even whether it will be linked to the worldview of the Eternal God Emperor is unknown. It can only be said that there are two ideas that can be linked.

Whether Chi Kongle is the heroine is only a probability, not an absolute thing. Because writing her as the heroine will restrict the development of many plots.

The way of writing new books that I like must be full of wonderful ideas, the plot can develop in many directions, and can guide readers to imagine a novel world.

Why is the book finished? It is because Tianzun Banzu can perceive everything with one thought and blow up the star field with one punch. It is difficult to guide readers to have a novel feeling!

A good book must have tension and need to be able to be substituted.

If Chi Kongle is set as the heroine at the beginning, it will actually have some impact, and it will also affect the interaction between the protagonist and other female characters.

Fei Tianyu can't write a single heroine when writing a book. There must be a lot of love, hate, and hatred.

Let's not worry about this for now. I really don't want to think about the new book now. I just want to empty myself for two months.

If the next book is linked, Zhang Ruochen must be the big boss behind the scenes, the most terrifying chess player, and the strongest in single combat. Not necessarily the only strongest, but definitely the top combat power.

The new book will be released at the end of the year! December 1st? Or January 1st?

Around that time.

I believe that everyone can follow up until now, and Xiaoyu's writing style must be what you like to read.

In addition, the Easter egg chapter will be updated in two days.

As for the extras, there are probably two series. One series is the plot of the protagonist's entire family, which will be a coherent length.

The other series is mainly to fill in the pit.

That's it, borrowing the feelings of a reader:

On July 3, nine years ago, I turned on the computer and wrote: Chi Yao, I regard you as my beloved, why did you kill me?

……

…………

I also give it to everyone. One day x years ago, a teenager opened the novel: Chi Yao, I regard you as my beloved, why did you kill me?
