Lord of Mysteries: Yao Guang

Ah, it’s the second volume.

I am very happy, very grateful, and have very complicated emotions, all kinds of things.

Thank you, always, thank you.

This book has been much longer than I expected. The original estimate was five volumes, and the word count in the contract was stated to be 1.3 million words. But now it seems that there is a small gap in the word count budget...

I am able to write to this day under everyone's attention, not so much because everyone is reading this little crappy book I wrote, but rather because I am encouraged by everyone and can barely persevere.

I am bringing Esther here to wish everyone a happy New Year. No, I am bowing!

This book started to dig holes, and it has been half a year since I wrote it. No matter which day I met the readers, I feel very friendly to them. But for those who have read the book seriously, I can accept them all regardless of their comments...

From the beginning of writing, I have anticipated various situations. As for the fans, it is best to watch them happy and lively, to have some fun, and to talk about the story easily. The happiest thing is to be together and relax together. ah.

I have always been embarrassed, always feeling that things are out of line here and there, and I am afraid of disappointing everyone's expectations, so I am very, very grateful to all the readers who have followed along.

I never imagined that today, I don’t have the talent to climb to the top. I just sit at the bottom of the mountain and meet people who are willing to listen to my endless stories.

I'm very happy, but it's too sensational, so I'm going to stop.

The second volume is about the tide, which rises and falls, where it leaves and where it goes back, but the tide only goes back and forth, and when it washes away the drifters, it does not give a result.

"Whoever has chased the waves on the sea will never be able to live in a cell of an inch again."

The original sentence is taken from Lermontov's "June 11, 1831", translated by Gu Yunpu: "Whoever has drifted on the sea will never be able to dream in the shadow of the coastal cliff."

In fact, I personally prefer the original sentence, which has a more romantic atmosphere. The changes are just to fit the full text.

The volume of "Tide" is about the birds flying in the sea breeze, the freedom that cannot be restrained by the sky or the earth. But does the final piece of writing have such a feeling? I ask myself that it is still far from enough.

There are still too many trivial matters that can be restrained, or plot lines that can be expanded. I don’t have much confidence in my ability to control the rhythm, so I stumbled to this point. I just let it end when it was time to end it, and I could take a breath.

A small preview of the third volume:

But the way of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until noon. (Bible Proverbs 4:18)

The so-called "righteous man" refers to the ancient sun god, and also refers to Zhou's Klein. The third volume will probably have many quotes from the Bible, as well as some big scenes in the plan.

I don’t have the confidence that I can write well with my own writing skills, but if I want to write, I will work hard to write. Just accept the parts that you are satisfied with. If you are not satisfied, just mention it and I will try my best to change it!

As expected, the third volume involves many stories of the Third Age, including the author spreading rumors, the author going crazy, the author being admitted to the hospital, the author himself being lost or having trouble saving the manuscript, etc. Possible unexpected situations... Putting aside the first point The penultimate one is not as exaggerated as the other ones.

Over the past few months, the only thing I can do to make up for it with hard work is that I don’t want to stop updating. However, I am considering taking a day off as I am at a loss to save my manuscript. If you really ask for leave, you will be notified at that time.

I'm glad that this book can accompany you for some days in the endless river of time.

May happiness always be there.

It's an honor to meet you, thank you for your love.

The following are some thoughts full of flaws.

Why is the second volume so damn long! ! ! Too long! It started running and couldn't stop the car at all! At the end of the day, it’s still the result of not having a lot of confidence in yourself! Direct Pain Mask…

Just write, I created a lot of original characters, and the second half basically wiped out the outline. This shabby car is not running anymore, it is flying towards the moon in the sky! !

Every time at this time, I feel extremely lucky that I am a loser. It doesn’t matter how I write, I just move forward towards happiness.

I shed tears, and I am very grateful to the readers for not hating me.

The following are some related/irrelevant settings:

1. According to the agreement in the group rule book, the daily update time of Volume 4 will be changed to 10 am and 18 pm.

The 11 o'clock has always been represented by "justice", "balance" and the reversed "inconsistency", and the 21 o'clock has been represented by the "world", "dreams turned into reality" and the reversed "blind acceptance".

2. I finally recovered some of the things I dug up in the first volume. The relationship between the goddess of the night and Zoya is closer to that of "colluding" companions. This has been the case from the beginning, including Tingen's acceptance and the identity of the favored one. They are all pitfalls dug for Esther (crossed out). It is not without reason. Reason for preference or consideration.

It’s not about investment, it’s about manipulation.

Kuroya also had a lot of intentions in her plans with Zoya. Even if Zoya helped her stabilize part of her self from the past, the goddess is still a goddess who is both cunning and scheming.

3. Esther's deterioration in mental state and her sense of separation from Zoya, I should have written this more clearly, probably... someone is secretly making things happen, um, a very simple solution to the problem!

4. A bit of personal speculation. According to the bidirectionality of anchors, gods need anchors to stabilize themselves. Will the sefirah be reversely changed by the anchor? Because they themselves represent the unstable "negative effects" of potions, it is difficult for me to find accurate arguments on this point, and I have been troubled by this.

"Zoya" only has a high level similar to the Seven Lights, and does not represent the essence of the "Key of Light". However, because of the particularity of the "Key of Light" and the close connection between Zoya and Source Castle, you can pray for it. The "gift" of the sefirot is also close to part of my personal imagination of the "endowment" system.

5. The venue, situation, information of the "Hermits of Destiny", and Amon's undercover are all made up by me, as is the ghost orchid emblem of the Jacob family. If there is any discrepancy with the original work, everything is based on the original work.

6. If you have anything else you want to ask or gossip about, you can comment here. I will try my best to reply and answer what I see. If you are replying to other people's comments, I won't be able to see them, so I seem to have missed many previous chapters. explain……

Too lazy to read it again. (Close eyes, turn off the phone)
