Chapter 2204: Chapter 2204: Creation of New Life Amidst Destruction (Grand Finale & Author’s Afterword)
Ye Feng seemed like a cold Grim Reaper.
He devoured one time space after another.
This led to the generation of countless forces of annihilation, invading timeline 626 and 426, causing these two time spaces to also be destroyed, and then devoured by Ye Feng.
Everyone hid in timeline zero.
That place was the opposite of the void, and the annihilation force could only affect the front side of the void for now, so timeline zero was temporarily safe.
There, it was the final sanctuary.
"If you don’t want to die, retreat to timeline zero, it’s safe for now."
Ye Feng shouted.
All members of the Misty Holy Sect and creatures from the Origin of All Things had long since moved there, even the Cosmic Sea Ancient Tree of the Invincible Old Man was already transferred.
Therefore, timeline 426 didn’t suffer much loss.
In other timelines, only a few people could enter timeline zero, such as... those who were hosts of the system granted by Ye Feng, and their friends.
They were truly the lucky ones.
As for most of the creatures, they were affected by the force of annihilation, perished with the way of the Dao dissipating.
Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years...
Time flashed by, and it was already a hundred thousand years later.
Ye Feng finally devoured all the timelines on the front side of the void, leaving only a void here.
Looking ahead.
Countless forces of annihilation were crazily converging towards the center, forming a massive vortex.
In timeline zero.
There was a cage here, suppressing six Plane Devouring Gods in their infant and toddler stages, sleeping soundly.
But, a terrifying suction force erupted.
"Yaa yaa yaa..."
The six Plane Devouring Gods awoke, broke the cage that held them, entered the annihilation force vortex, and chilling chewing sounds spread out.
"Is it finally coming?"
Ye Feng murmured.
The fully formed Plane Devouring God was about to be born!
Soon, even timeline zero would become unsafe, he had to create a new shelter, so he opened up a new place in the layer between the front and back of the void, naming it Origin Land.
Countless creatures flocked there to take refuge.
"Haha, hahahaha..."
There was a sinister laugh coming from the massive annihilation force vortex, sending shivers down Ye Feng’s spine.
He actually felt the threat of death!
The power of the fully formed Plane Devouring God was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Whoosh!
Countless forces of annihilation surged from all directions, making the figure at the vortex center grow even larger, eventually transforming into a strange creature with a cold large mouth, two small forepaws, and a long tail dragging behind, resembling a giant tadpole.
It stared at Ye Feng, extending its purple tongue.
"Are you... the so-called ruler of time and space?"
The fully formed Plane Devouring God sneered.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded.
"Your strength is not bad, consuming you would allow me to rule both the front and back of the void, becoming an ultimate overlord surpassing the controller of the Great Dao."
The fully formed Plane Devouring God laughed loudly.
Ye Feng said, "Do you think you can devour me? Stop dreaming."
"Of course I can." The fully formed Plane Devouring God grinned, its body only a few meters long, but opening its mouth, it could swallow all forces of annihilation.
The next moment, its aura swelled to an extreme.
It opened its mouth and bit at Ye Feng.
"Return to One!"
Ye Feng formed a hand seal, then made the gesture of a lotus with his hands in midair, condensing a dazzling light ball in his palms, striking it fiercely at the fully formed Plane Devouring God.
Boom!
The fully formed Plane Devouring God was blown away, discovering that although it could rival a Great Dao Controller, it still couldn’t suppress Ye Feng, so it set its sights on timeline zero.
"Alas, it seems I ultimately have to destroy my own timeline by myself!"
Ye Feng murmured.
Up to now, he had completely devoured and refined all time spaces on the front side of the void, but the zero timeline on the back side of the void, he hadn’t devoured yet.
Because if the timeline collapsed, he would die.
But if he didn’t devour timeline zero, despite his strength, he could repel the fully formed Plane Devouring God, but couldn’t kill it.
If so, the stalemate would persist.
Unable to destroy the formidable enemy, unable to create new life.
"Create new life amidst destruction, revive the world from ruins, conceive hope in despair, explode!"
Ye Feng took a deep breath, reversed his hand, and detonated timeline zero, devouring it, leaving the back of the void with nothing but infinite void.
Cold, dark, lonely...
Everything seemed to cease to exist.
At this moment, Ye Feng’s aura surged to an unsurpassable limit, or perhaps, he had broken all limits, reaching an invincible level beyond any realm definition.
With a single thought, he could create countless time spaces, or destroy countless time spaces.
"Hahaha, it’s all mine now!"
The fully formed Plane Devouring God devoured the annihilation force that erupted from timeline zero’s destruction, its own power further enhanced.
It too surpassed the Great Dao Controller in all respects.
"I am invincible!"
The fully formed Plane Devouring God stared at Ye Feng, bit his shoulder, trying to tear off a large chunk of flesh.
"I eat, I eat, eat, eat!"
It furiously tore and gnawed, consuming most of Ye Feng’s body, but Ye Feng’s expression remained unchanged, as if watching something nonexistent.
"Why do you not resist?"
The fully formed Plane Devouring God roared, biting off Ye Feng’s leg, swallowing it down.
"I’m watching you eat your last supper."
Ye Feng said calmly.
"Shut up, I’m about to be invincible, how could it be the last supper?" the fully formed Plane Devouring God howled, biting through Ye Feng’s head and swallowing it in one bite.
From then on, Ye Feng was completely devoured.
Then, it moved towards Origin Land.
That narrow space between the front and back of the void could only accommodate a few creatures.
"Hahaha, eat, eat, eat!"
The fully formed Plane Devouring God opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing everyone hiding here, including Mo Ying, Feng Ye Sword Venerable, and the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables.
In the entire void, only it was left.
"I am truly invincible."
The fully formed Plane Devouring God sneered, at this moment, in limitless time spaces, there was only one being, naturally an invincible power under the heavens, invincible above as well.
But, in the next moment.
An unimaginable force exploded from the core of the fully formed Plane Devouring God’s body.
It tried to stop it, but couldn’t do anything.
Boom!
As if infinite universes were exploding, the fully formed Plane Devouring God instantly disintegrated, transforming into an incalculable number of beams of light, scattered into the infinite time spaces of both the front and back of the void, forming new timelines.
Each timeline expanded.
In these, countless time spaces were born, and in these spaces, countless universes were nurtured, giving rise to endless creatures.
Clink clank!
The fully formed Plane Devouring God’s body’s explosion scattered many crystals, landing in Origin Land, forming energy wells that could erupt with various strange energies, enabling enlightenment and breakthroughs.
A virtual silhouette gradually appeared.
It quickly became solid.
Emitting no strong aura, it gave off the feeling of an ordinary mortal.
This person was Ye Feng.
"Create new life amidst destruction!"
Ye Feng spread countless seeds of life, some germinating in Origin Land, others entering the infinite time spaces of both the front and back of the void, rising in the universes.
"I will be waiting for your return in Origin Land."
Ye Feng murmured softly.
This wait lasted countless years.
"Hahaha, I, Feng Ye Sword Venerable, have returned!"
A tall figure entered Origin Land, holding a thin sword, exuding a half-step Great Dao Controller’s aura, fixating on Ye Feng.
"Ye Feng, dare to battle?!"
Ye Feng looked at Feng Ye Sword Venerable, saying: "As expected, you are the first to return, fight!"
He blew a breath, and Feng Ye Sword Venerable was blown off, unable to resist, conceding swiftly.
"You are too invincible!"
"Is this the true might of the supreme space-time ruler of the dual aspects of void? Even a being like a Great Dao Controller cannot withstand you, right?"
Feng Ye Sword Venerable shook his head helplessly.
After Ye Feng recreated infinite space-time, nurturing countless timelines, Feng Ye Sword Venerable revived in the brand new Timeline No. 2000, reaching the peak.
Now, he has returned.
His cultivation level has reached the half-step Great Dao Controller tier, and he has upgraded Timeline No. 2000 to a First Level timeline, extremely powerful.
Yet, even so, he was defeated.
Ye Feng’s strength made him despair.
"I have reached the point of infinite power; no one can match me. Feng Ye Sword Venerable, you are no exception!"
Ye Feng smiled.
Feng Ye Sword Venerable sighed and said, "Ye Feng, have the others not returned yet?"
Ye Feng replied, "Not yet, but people will return gradually, I believe they won’t let me wait too long... Oh, here they come."
Nine figures broke through the void barrier, entering the Origin Land, it was the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables.
They have all become half-step Great Dao Controllers.
Next.
A fisherman and a woman.
Invincible Old Man, Phoenix Gauze Progenitor.
"Ye Feng, you’ve achieved greatness!" Invincible Old Man looked at Ye Feng, then at Feng Ye Sword Venerable and the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables, nodded, "All old friends, no need for pleasantries, come fish at the Cosmic Sea when you have time."
"Tch, who wants to fish with you!"
Feng Ye Sword Venerable waved his hand.
Disillusioned Heavenly Venerable Mad Drunkard instead said, "Invincible Senior, do you have any wine there?"
"Yes." Invincible Old Man nodded.
"Great, let’s drink wine while fishing the Myriad Realms, hahaha!"
"Alright, finally I have company."
Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was harmonious.
After them, people gradually surpassed their own space-time, reached the Origin Land, reunited with Ye Feng, all moved to tears.
"Sect Master Uncle, here we come!"
Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao, Mo Ying and other members of Misty Holy Sect have all surpassed their past realms, successfully transcended, returning to the Origin Land.
Other familiar faces also returned.
Xiao Cangtian, Heavenly Venerable Lu, Wu Xuan...
One familiar face after another appeared, those who were devoured by the complete Plane Devouring God were reborn in the new timeline created by Ye Feng, breaking through their past cultivation limits, then achieving transcendence, returning at their peak.
"Sect Master, I missed you so much!"
Hu Feifei appeared, crashing into Ye Feng’s arms, followed by Xue Rongqing, Gong Qingqiu, Li Wanqing, Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor and others, all have returned.
"It’s good that you are back."
Ye Feng gently rubbed Hu Feifei’s hair, looking at Xue Rongqing, Gong Qingqiu and others beside him, embraced them in front of everyone.
They waited for him for countless years.
And he certainly hasn’t forgotten them.
Ye Feng waited for countless years again.
The myriad space-times of the dual aspects of void have finally returned to their former glory, even further, with a plethora of super powerful beings.
"Let’s go back to the Twin Universe."
Ye Feng created a super universe at origin level, named it Twin Universe, bringing Misty Holy Sect’s million members back to where the dream began.
Misty Peak.
This place remains the core area of Misty Holy Sect.
The supreme Sect Leader’s Great Hall is built on the peak top, and the former Moon Reflection Divine Spring has evolved into an Origin Divine Pool.
A sip of Dao Liquid can lead to Enlightenment into Emperorhood.
Drink several sips, to become Dao Monarch.
Not far away.
A three-meter-high Enlightenment Tea Tree has evolved into a Supreme Enlightenment Tea Tree, emitting dazzling nine-colored divine radiance, any single tea leaf can let someone directly become Dao Monarch Realm.
Further away.
The Thousand-Year Ancient Pine has finally completed its ultimate evolution, becoming a Cosmic Sea Ancient Tree, nurturing countless universes.
"Woohoo!"
Brother Flathead reached Boundless Venerable Realm, followed by his countless descendants, each fearless and invincible, not putting anyone in the world in their eyes.
In their view, the badger clan, invincible!
"You rascal come bother me again, ouch, don’t bite my leg, I’ll poke you to death!"
Brother Flathead unexpectedly challenged Feng Ye Sword Venerable, biting his left leg, refusing to let go, benefiting from Spirit Beast Pavilion’s supreme mythical Demon Emperor’s Halo, its combat ability was barely about to break heaven’s limits, but the defense was frightfully high, even Feng Ye Sword Venerable found it hard to break through.
"Stop biting, stop biting!"
Feng Ye Sword Venerable was agitated, tangled with Brother Flathead at the Spirit Lake’s lakeside.
Everyone laughed at this sight.
Not far away, at the lakeside pavilion.
Moon Heavenly Venerable Shi Youyou was playing the zither, beside her Sun Heavenly Venerable Beihe was playing the flute, surrounded by Misty Holy Sect’s disciples, learning the art of music.
The kitchen.
Li Jiaojiao has already become boundless, followed by a large group of disciples, learning the culinary arts.
In the sect.
Shi Lei brought a bunch of apprentices, teaching them how to craft various exquisite and wondrous ancient buildings.
"One sword can slash the heavens and earth!"
Huo Yunjie was sparring with Mo Ying, while guiding his disciples.
Wang Ping’an, Long Tianxing, Qiao Jiaxi trio along with Li Qiankun headed out, followed by countless shaved-apricot students.
In the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
Nanny Yan Ruyu and flower master Jia Yulan were researching new Dao Divine Trees, beside them stood numerous disciples, studying earnestly.
Scripture Pavilion.
Ji Ziling wore a wide purple-golden Dao robe, styled with a Taoist hair bun, lecturing, revered as Ziling Boundless Dao Law Venerable by super experts from various timespaces.
Fox Da Hong was still eating duck legs.
Dog Er Ha, Pig San Pang, Toad Si Chu, Pumpkin Wu Gua, Little White Fox, Iron Claw Dragon Eagle and other Spirit Beast Pavilion members were mimicking Fox Da Hong’s posture, lounging on the grass with duck legs in one hand and supporting heads with the other, enjoying food and sunbathing.
On Misty Peak summit.
Ye Feng sat at the square table, playing mahjong with Hu Feifei, Xue Rongqing, Gong Qingqiu.
"Exactly four people, just right."
Ye Feng smiled and soon won, making the three women all a bit unhappy.
"Haha, don’t be mad, I’ll let you win next time."
Ye Feng was very pleased.
"Hmph! You always say next time for sure, but you’ve won fifty thousand games in a row!" Hu Feifei was the first to show her dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Ye Feng sensed something, looked into the distance.
"He’s here."
A handsome young man, bringing a pretty woman, came to Misty Peak summit. Behind them followed a man and a woman, looking somewhat similar to them, likely their children.
"Qing Xi, greetings to Time Ruler."
The young man bowed slightly, pointing to the beautiful woman beside him, "This is my Dao companion, Mu Yue. The two behind are my son and daughter."
Ye Feng got up and smiled, "Qing Xi, the first Great Dao Controller born in the countless timespaces of the void’s forefront, you finally arrived."
Back then, Feng Ye Sword Venerable inherited the ability to foretell the future from Timeline No. 2, learned a person named Qing Xi will become a Great Dao Controller.
Now, Qing Xi came.
"I brought this." Qing Xi brought forth a baby Plane Devouring God.
"Oh, it’s a Plane Devouring God!"
Hu Feifei, Gong Qingqiu, Xue Rongqing’s expressions became tense, looking at Ye Feng.
"Plane Devouring Gods are dangerous, I’m worried their kind may lead to the annihilation of infinite space-time." Qing Xi looked worriedly at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng patted Qing Xi’s shoulder, said, "As long as I’m here, Plane Devouring Gods won’t stir chaos, rest assured!"
Qing Xi nodded.
Then, Hu Feifei asked, "Sect Master husband, you said Qing Xi’s the first Great Dao Controller, then who would be the second Great Dao Controller from the void’s opposite side?"
Ye Feng smiled, replied, "I’ve pushed through the complete future and know who will become the second Great Dao Controller, but can’t say yet!"
Hu Feifei mischievously smiled, "Husband, could it be our child?"
Ye Feng shook his head, "No."
"Ah? Then who will it be?"
Hu Feifei felt frustrated, her child surprisingly wasn’t a Great Dao Controller.
"You’ll understand in the future."
Ye Feng gazed into the distance, smiling.
Clang, clang, clang!
Misty Holy Sect echoed with the sound of a gentle bell.
"What happened here?" Qing Xi looked at Ye Feng, "Do you need my help?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "Our Misty Holy Sect is ascending to Misty Dao Sect. Today, a grand star-raising ceremony is being held. As per the old rules, let’s go feast!"
"Sure!" Qing Xi nodded.
That day, a grand celebration took place.
Countless terrifying powerhouses entered the Twin Universe, scaring the immortals born within this universe.
Many people didn’t know that in this universe, where only Heavenly Venerables could seemingly be born, there existed an incredibly powerful sect. The visiting guests were ultimate existences from various timelines, incredibly terrifying.
"Congratulations, Sect Master Ye!"
"Congratulations on the sect’s ascension to Misty Dao Sect!"
Countless guests arrived, presenting congratulatory gifts.
The Invincible Old Man, the Phoenix Gauze Progenitor, the Feng Ye Sword Venerable being chased by Brother Flathead, Xiao Cangtian...
Numerous familiar faces were present.
A grand celebration affecting the void on both sides of all timelines commenced.
"Our sect has finally ascended to Dao Sect."
Ye Feng personally cut the ribbon and looked at the incredibly powerful sect it had become. He thought of the Second Timeline that was sacrificially destroyed and sighed softly.
"System, if you were still alive to see how the sect has developed to this stage, would you be happy?"
"It’s a pity you can’t see it!"
Ye Feng closed his eyes, tears silently falling.
Hu Feifei hugged him from behind.
"She is me, and I am her. I’ve seen the rise of the sect; she must be able to see it too."
"Yes, indeed."
On that day, the Misty Dao Sect held a grand celebration.
A few days passed.
The sect began recruiting a new generation of disciples.
Even though there were no longer any restrictions, and countless disciples could be recruited every year, Ye Feng still retained the tradition of recruiting only ten thousand people a year.
This time, Shi Lei was in charge of recruiting new disciples.
Many gathered in the Sect Main Plaza.
With nothing else to do, Ye Feng came to watch.
"Look, that’s the Sect Master."
"Why can’t I sense the Sect Master’s cultivation level?"
"Are you an idiot? How could we possibly perceive the cultivation of someone like the Sect Master?"
The new disciples whispered among themselves.
As the master brother of the sect, Shi Lei smiled and said to the newcomers, "No need to guess. Sect Master Uncle is just a mortal, not that formidable."
Having lived countless years, Shi Lei could joke around, too.
Just then, Ye Feng noticed that the weather wasn’t good today. He picked up a stem of grass from the ground and casually waved it toward the sky, slicing out a black rift that was difficult to heal.
The sky suddenly cleared up.
The immortals in the heavens were scared half to death; they immediately knelt, trembling with fear.
In the Sect Main Plaza.
The new disciples pointed in shock at the sky’s unhealable rift: "You tell me that the Sect Master is just a mortal? Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"
Shi Lei smiled.
After a long while.
He slowly said:
"Indeed, Sect Master Uncle is invincible in the world. Saving time and space countless years ago and rebooting the timeline led to the prosperity of future generations. He is incredibly powerful; how could he possibly just be a mortal?"
"Sect Master Uncle can’t possibly be a mortal."
"He is... an all-powerful god!"
[The End!!!]
-----------------
-----------------
[Additional Chapter - Completion Sentiments]
Whew!!!
Finally...
Typed out these three words, [The End], which carry countless emotions.
Thus, "Sect Master Uncle Can’t Possibly Be a Mortal" is officially concluded!
Many people are reluctant.
I am also reluctant.
Still remember starting this book on November 24, 2020, and today, September 24, 2023, it’s just two months short of a full three years.
A little over a thousand days, with the full text around 5.77 million words.
Total Chapters, 2204!
This is the longest time and the longest fantasy novel Winter Melon has written since beginning to write.
Looking back.
I’ve already written so many books!
Previously, I wrote on a smaller site, and remember signing in 2015, concluding it in the summer of 2016, with word count around 2.3 million. After that, I wrote another fantasy novel that concluded in 2018, with word count around 2.6 million words.
In the same year, I came to Yuewen.
In Chuangshi at the time, I wrote a traditionally styled fantasy novel called "Cang Ling World" in 2018. Unfortunately, it didn’t do well, but I persisted until about June 2019, with a complete ending at 1 million words.
The protagonist of "Cang Ling World," Lin Luo, also appeared in my next book.
It was then that I planned to write a five-part series.
"Cang Ling World" can be considered the first part!
In 2019, I wrote "Becoming a Cultivation Big Shot," the protagonist Qing Xi, also released in Chuangshi, written until 2020, around 2.42 million words. I consider it my highest completion level work and a representative piece!
That book did fairly well.
Average subscription was over 2500.
It was "Becoming a Cultivation Big Shot" that allowed me to transition from earning a few hundred or a couple of thousand yuan a month to earning over ten thousand in manuscript fees, providing me with the confidence to resign from my 5000-yuan salary-per-month job in Changsha, return home, and start my full-time writing career.
Qing Xi, the protagonist of "Cultivation World," became the first Great Dao Controller appearing in this book, Sect Master.
This is the second part of the five-part series.
Concluding "Cultivation World" in 2020, I began creating and serializing the third part of the five-part series, "I Have a Time-Space Manor."
The protagonist in this book is Wang Miao.
He initially appeared in "Becoming a Cultivation Big Shot" at the beginning, starting as an antagonist at odds with Qing Xi.
However, they later became friends.
"I Have a Time-Space Manor" didn’t perform so well either, with an average subscription of just around 840 in Chuangshi and about 100-200 in Qidian, totaling roughly 1000 in average subscriptions.
"Time-Space Manor’s" performance was indeed poor.
During that time, I struggled by earning just a few thousand yuan a month.
Barely getting by, I still wrote up to 1 million words.
Yet, unexpectedly, "I Have a Time-Space Manor" won third place in the "Out-of-the-Box Ideas" essay contest, which was really thrilling at the time.
Thank you to the readers and the editors!
And on November 24, 2021, officially released "Sect Master Uncle Can’t Possibly Be a Mortal." I remember the initial subscription was only about 130, writing all the way to the present, with average subscriptions of over 1500 at Chuangshi, and over 750 at Qidian, this is the fourth part of the five-part series concept and also the longest installment so far with high completion.
As the word count of Sect Master reached 200,000 to 300,000, I was considering concluding it.
This is true.
Initially, I planned to end it after defeating the Celestial Clan’s Supreme, then write a little more to wrap it up.
Hence, I set to work on a new book "Simulating Ten Years of Cultivation, I’m Invincible Worldwide," which isn’t part of the five-part series.
Unfortunately, that book performed poorly too.
It concluded after about 700,000 words.
Its average subscription was only 500+, quite a flop...
And "Simulation" was my first book written on Qidian, everything beforehand was on Chuangshi.
Due to "Simulation’s" poor performance.
Sect Master continued on.
In the meantime, I secretly wrote a few books on other websites too.
No choice, I needed money!
This is a very realistic problem.
I was thinking that writing another book could help make more money.
Among them was a beast-taming novel that did fairly well, written up to a million words, haha!
However, there were too many female leads in that book.
The protagonist had dozens of women.
I completely let myself go while writing it, and yet its performance was quite decent, inspiring the thought of focusing on a beast-taming novel in the future.
Struggling over bumps, I made it to this year, 2023.
Readers who have consistently followed my books these past years know I’ve always worked really hard, and I’ve been going on blind dates too, but most do not fancy me...
Haha, awkward.
Fortunately, things took a turn for the better.
This year, I successfully went on a blind date and met my current girlfriend. Our relationship is pretty good. Although we occasionally bicker and argue, we still enjoy it.
Some readers complain, telling me to take care of my health.
Hmm...
I’m a fairly disciplined person.
Even though I have a girlfriend now, both of us oddly share the same goal, focusing primarily on making money, so my updates won’t decrease.
I can still churn out ten thousand words a day!
I, Chaos Winter Melon Essence, am still going strong!
This year, on July 22, 2023, I published my second book on Qidian, "With All the Good Deeds Done, I Deserve to Become an Immortal", now at 300,000 words!
However, its performance is quite average.
The initial subscription was 200, but after it launched, even though I steadily updated with 6,000 words daily, the collection still kept dropping, as if the intelligent push was no longer working. Very frustrating, not sure what’s happening.
As a result, this book’s average subscription is decreasing rather than increasing, only 190 average subscriptions.
This performance is incredibly lackluster.
The new book’s performance is not even one-tenth of that of Sect Uncle!
No, it might not even be one-twentieth.
But, I still opted to conclude Sect Uncle.
Why?
Because Sect Uncle has already completed its storyline!
If I continue writing, I could drag it out to ten million words without any issue, but I don’t want to waste readers’ money for nothing!
I could write about Ye Feng’s rebirth and cultivation, change the setting, or delve into the disciples’ daily lives, extending it further.
But, there’s no point in doing so.
Ultimately, a book reaches its conclusion at some point!
Though reluctant, we must end it.
I don’t want to leave it unfinished, nor do I want it to be incomplete, so I tried to write an ending for Sect Uncle that I’m somewhat satisfied with, feeling quite at peace.
I initially planned to end it on November 24 of this year, the third-anniversary celebration, but found that ever since I started preparing the conclusion, the pace accelerated significantly.
Writing it to October proved difficult.
So, I further accelerated the pace.
Finally... The fourth part of the quintet smoothly concluded at this time.
I haven’t planned the fifth part of the quintet yet.
Currently, I will focus on writing the book "With All the Good Deeds Done, I Deserve to Become an Immortal", updating seriously, aiming to write at least past one million words!
Though the new book’s performance is poor,
I will still focus on writing.
Striving for updates of over 6,000 words daily, working hard to finish it.
Once this new book is nearing completion, I’ll start planning a new book.
I don’t want to juggle two books anymore; it’s truly exhausting.
From now on, after finishing one book, I’ll write another.
Staying focused.
By writing just one book, I can concentrate better, and daily updates for a single book can surpass 8,000 words, ten thousand words, or even more, even if... the results are less than satisfactory.
Additionally, I’m considering whether to change the genre in the future. Temporarily, I’m not writing fantasy for the next book.
Though I really want to write the fifth part of the quintet,
The protagonist of that book is likely a new character becoming the opposite of the void, a Great Dao controller.
The protagonist is not Ye Feng’s son.
Nor a character from the previous four parts.
I want to write about a new person.
As for how to write it, I still don’t know.
Currently, the quintet features four fantasy parts:
"Cang Ling World", 1.03 million words, protagonist Lin Luo (Dao Monarch).
"Becoming a Cultivation Big Shot", 2.42 million words, protagonist Qing Xi (Great Dao Controller).
"I Have a Time-Space Manor", 1.05 million words, protagonist Wang Miao (Boundless Venerable level).
"Sect Uncle Can’t Possibly Be a Mortal", 5.77 million words, protagonist Ye Feng (Supreme Space-Time Sovereign).
Haha, combined, they surpass ten million words!
How many words should the fifth part be?
Temporarily, I don’t know.
Let’s discuss after finishing the current book, "With All the Good Deeds Done, I Deserve to Become an Immortal"!
Counting the books written since signing formally in ’15, the total words have surpassed 17 million.
Truly have written a lot!
I now have seven completed books with over a million words, three from outside platforms, and four published by Yuewen (the quartet mentioned above).
I can proudly say I have persevered as a seasoned writer.
Although I’m a Level Five writer, compared to those big shots, the performance really falls short.
But, I typically don’t compare myself to them.
First, there’s no comparison.
Second, there’s no need.
Writing stems from passion. I should compare myself to my past, assessing whether the writing has improved, whether the works have elevated, whether the reputation has improved, whether there’s slight innovation in the plot?
I’m contemplating these aspects.
And must pay attention to these aspects.
Suddenly realizing, I’ve written so much!
I’ll go cook now, have lunch, then nap, and continue writing once awake.
Okay, I’m full.
It’s now past three in the afternoon, time to continue writing!
Let’s talk about the overall impression of "Sect Uncle"!
Initially, I set out to write just Ye Feng defeating the Celestial Clan’s Saintly Venerable, the entirety of the book’s map constructed within the Twin Universe, not writing such a vast setting anymore.
Because, in my view, 2-3 million words is the perfect length for a book.
Regrettably, due to economic issues, I could only keep writing.
And writing... Alas, five million words!
Broke my personal record!
My previous longest book was only 2.6 million words, but now, Sect Uncle reached 5.77 million words, twice the length of my past longest book.
This left me feeling incredulous!
Am I really so capable of dragging it out?
Yes, definitely dragging on!
Of course, not all of it is drag.
Some plots in the mid-to-late stages of this book lagged at times, which I acknowledge.
It’s unavoidable.
If not dragged out, Sect Uncle might have ended at around 4-4.5 million words.
If I were to rate Sect Uncle, I think it deserves an 82, with the remaining 18 awarded in the form of 666 to the readers for their support that brought this book to its current state.
Right, in the first half of this year, "Sect Uncle Can’t Possibly Be a Mortal" underwent multi-person audiobook adaptation, first released on Ximalaya, voiced by the Yaju team, now updated to 801 episodes, very enjoyable, subscribed right when it came out, haha!
Until now, the play count is just 17,777,000.
Interested readers can listen.
Finally, once again, a thank you to the lovely readers!

QQ Reading (Original Circle) here has two Alliance Hierarchs: Beihe, Xiao Qi.
