My readers are all over the world
Chapter 520 Finale
The people who were originally scattered all over the world suddenly seemed to have received some instructions. They gathered together as quickly as possible, dusty and looking panicked, not much better than before.
"Is this the location information she sent from the sky?"
Someone asked.
“It doesn’t look like it’s in the sky.”
The location message from the watch showed that it was more like... right next to them, but out of their reach, as if there was a wall between them that they could never cross.
Maybe it was just like a joke Jiang Xian once made, the mission was completed, and she returned to her hometown, her hometown from another world.
Jiang Xian once said that she wanted to ascend to heaven. Besides wanting to fulfill the Chinese people's desire to ascend to heaven and become immortals, she also wanted to try whether ascending to heaven would mean going directly home for her.
After all, the "system" she mentioned has disappeared, and her mission no longer exists. She is like a weed forgotten in the desert. Apart from desperately absorbing nutrients here to keep herself alive, she just wants to live until she leaves here.
They were very angry about the unknown creature she mentioned. Someone cursed: "Isn't this kidnapping? How can you take someone from their home to a completely unfamiliar place without their consent?"
Just to make a few men fall in love with me.
Even the final reward is to stay.
Even though that thing finally used up all its energy and saved Jiang Xian's life, if it weren't for it, Jiang Xian wouldn't have to suffer here at all.
...
Several people stood there looking at each other for a few days, but no one suggested sending a message to the other side to try.
Finally, the contracted beast couldn't stand it anymore.
It grabbed the watch, typed the message and sent it over.
Others feared that its actions would completely cut off the already weak signal.
"Don't be so impulsive..."
"What's wrong with being impulsive? Being impulsive is better than sitting here in a daze all day."
Guo Bao: [Is it Jiang Xian? It’s Jiang Xian.]
There was no movement from the other side, and the location signal gradually weakened, just like the expectations in everyone's hearts gradually dimmed.
I don’t know how long I waited, when everyone had started to make excuses for the erroneous signal, the other party responded.
Self-righteous master: [dd. ]
...
Jiang Xian went back.
Modern times, this place that is both unfamiliar and familiar to everyone in the world of immortal cultivation, the reason they say this is because they have heard of it from Jiang Xian's mouth, but have never seen it.
For others, ascension may mean transcending the Three Realms and being outside the Five Elements, or it may mean becoming a free and easy immortal somewhere, but for Jiang Xian, it means returning to the modern world in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the fact that her phone watch was still there and her body wasn't feeling well after the thunder tribulation, she might have thought that the journey to the world of immortal cultivation was just a dream.
She has no way to get back, but she is trying every possible means to get back. Isn't this crazy?
She just felt that the watch was not broken, so she tried to fix it herself, but she didn't see any location prompts from anyone on her side, so she was shocked when she received the message from the national treasure.
And there is a delay in sending this message. 】
The modern world described by Li Wenshu in the extra chapter is different from the present era. It is more inclined to the future, a more technological future.
A future that seems achievable but is actually science fiction.
Compared to the future interstellar world in "Planting", it has many more original science fiction elements.
These 100,000 words were written very slowly, because she had to take into account the readers of the world of immortal cultivation. Modern readers are unfamiliar with the world of immortal cultivation, but because "Waste" is a very long novel, she had a lot of space to lay out the worldview of the world of immortal cultivation so that people would not feel confused.
However, the original number of words in the extra chapter was not very large, but it was expanded to more than 100,000 words.
Because there are many original science fiction settings, excessive descriptions do not have much impact on modern readers. For them, 60% of this future is unfamiliar.
The extra chapter is both warm and enjoyable for readers from both worlds.
Readers of the world of immortal cultivation are already curious about the other world described by Jiang Xian, but the storybook only mentions it a few times, which is completely unable to satisfy their curiosity.
They were very curious about what kind of world could produce someone like Jiang Xian, what kind of world could give her such eccentric ideas, and what kind of world could create something like a system.
Although I know that this world is fake and made up by the author, I am still curious, mainly because I am curious about how the author will use to describe this new world.
But until the finale, they were unable to see this new world fully presented before their eyes in the form of text.
They even discussed privately whether this new world was just made up by the author on a whim, and that she herself could not imagine what this new world would look like.
After all, human imagination has to rely on reality, and the new world imagined by people living in the world of immortal cultivation will naturally be somewhat similar to it.
In this way, it would be better to just mention a few sentences, leave appropriate blank space, and leave the rest to the readers' imagination.
But I didn’t expect that the author really depicted a new world, an independent new world that is completely parallel to the world of cultivation.
When they first read it, they could not even find any trace of the world of immortal cultivation in this new world, as if it was imagined by the author.
Not relying on anything, as if she was from this new world, such imagination is simply terrifying.
It was as if she had literally created a whole new world.
But if you read it more times, you will find that that world is still somewhat connected to the world of immortal cultivation. For example, although the people in that world cannot fly with swords, they have created tools that can take them to the sky, relying on various complex principles.
They believe that the author came up with the flying tool based on the flying of a sword.
“You wrote a book about me?”
The national treasure rolled up the fat on his belly, looking a little embarrassed, but not wanting to be seen as shy, so he stiffened his neck and responded.
Jiang Xian couldn't see anything. There was a world between him and the other person, but he seemed to be able to feel her current state from her silence.
She said: "That's good. Even if I'm not in that world, there will still be people who remember me thousands of years later."
Even if she was not by her side, she always had her own way to keep her.
Jiang Xian asked: "Can you tell me what the ending is? Did I ascend to heaven in a super handsome way?"
"No, I wrote you to death."
"……Do not believe."
"Really? He was killed by the last lightning strike."
"…You deserve to be criticized by readers for having a bad ending."
Guo Bao laughed happily, but this was not the reason why she was criticized for having a bad ending.
She did not give the novel a formal ending, but wrote many different versions of it.
For example, a happy ending where everyone gets what they want. She thought at the time that reality was not satisfactory enough, so she imagined what would happen in the storybook and expressed her good wishes.
But this version ended up just stuffed under her pillow.
She kept changing the ending until it became what is on the market today - Jiang Xian ascended to heaven, and there was no news of her from the human world anymore. Everyone went their separate ways, becoming loose sand that could never be brought together again.
This is the closest to reality, but it is also the most unacceptable to countless readers.
Guo Bao did not add the word "finished" at the end of the story, and the story ended with the words "to be continued".
She didn't write any more, nor did she ask anyone to change the four words. She just left it hanging there, as if their wonderful story had not yet ended.
People thought she couldn't write a good ending, so she didn't start writing.
But no one ever knew that "To be continued" was the best ending in her mind.
She always felt that their story had no end. 】
When Li Wenshu typed the last punctuation mark, he let out a breath, and the system task completion prompt sounded in his ears, followed by the sound of energy arriving.
She leaned back in the chair and relaxed.
She stared at the screen full of densely packed words and her hands which were a little sore from typing on the keyboard for a while. After a while, she came to her senses and rubbed her wrists.
Every time I experience the completion of a novel, especially a long one, I feel relieved but also a sense of loss.
Many people think that only readers cannot get out of the world of books, but in fact, authors can also be easily trapped in it.
For Li Wenshu, apart from attending classes, eating, sleeping, and basic socializing every day, the person she spends the most time with is the protagonist of the novel.
She gradually shaped her into a flesh-and-blood, lovable character, and wrote her extraordinary experiences into a story that was well-known to everyone, until she finally closed the thick notebook, typed the word "finished", and closed the whole book.
The story in the book has ended, but the story outside the book continues.
(Finish)
——Ending remarks, you can watch it or not, good night and sweet dreams————
Take a look at this chapter, it is my confession to you~
I spent a lot of time cutting and refining this ending. I sat in front of the computer for an entire afternoon. I knew it was not satisfactory, but I still couldn't come up with a relatively perfect ending. When I started writing this novel, I only had a few hundred words of outline. It's hard to imagine that I relied on a few hundred words of outline to reach more than one million words (boasting).
Before this, although I had a completed novel, I was still very unconfident and insecure about writing novels. After all, the performance of that completed novel was not very good, and the second one was also a failure due to insufficient preparation. When I started the third book, I waited until 100,000 words before I dared to publish it. From the publication to now, I haven’t read many comments in the comment section. I just occasionally flipped through the comments of the latest chapter, or read the occasional comment that popped up, but I never dared to open the comment section and scroll down.
The main reason is that the first book received such poor reviews that I was criticized so much. I am easily influenced by comments. I couldn’t write the first book to begin with, and after reading the comments, I was completely confused and didn’t know how to write it. I just gritted my teeth and wrote until the end. This time I simply resisted reading it, thinking that I would read it after the finale, so that I wouldn’t be affected by anything. So I basically didn’t reply to readers’ comments (very embarrassing) (I think I only replied to one or two, I saw someone drew fan art for Wen Shu, this seems to be the first time someone drew fan art for me, I was so happy that I showed it off to my friends for a long time).
I was actually surprised that I could keep writing this book until now. After all, a lot of things happened in the middle, which made me want to give up. Some readers who follow the updates should know that I stopped updating for a long time in the past. I was so confused that I didn’t know what to do, but I finally got up and started typing, thinking that I could finish this book and maybe I would know what to do after finishing it. As it turns out, I did know what to do after finishing it.
I originally wanted to write about more worlds, such as cyberpunk, entertainment literature (this was briefly mentioned in the novel, and I originally planned to write about it in detail), and apocalyptic zombies, but when I wrote about ancient times, I was already a little overwhelmed, and this feeling was even worse when I wrote about the world of immortal cultivation. I knew I couldn't write any more, and it would just be a bunch of crap. I remember seeing a reader say that I wrote more than 10,000 words a day at the beginning, but later it became 2,000 words a day T^T, because I really found it difficult to write.
