On September 10, 2022, the Prison Star Heavenly Prison was completed, which lasted seven months, updating 172w words, with an average of 8,000 words per day. Excluding the first two months of 4,000 new book periods per day, an average of 9,000 plus per month.

This month's update has written 11w words, and the average daily w word is more, which cannot be said to be less.

The first volume of the high heavens ended peacefully, and I am personally quite satisfied.

And a plot in my past book is counted as one volume, a book is about 15~20 volumes of structure, the high heaven has adopted the mode of large volumes, and the structure of three volumes plus a final outer volume has been booked before the book opens.

Of course, there may be no change in the essence, because a large volume is actually a combination of several small volumes, and old readers must be able to see which plots can be counted as a volume, when to start and when to finish, I also found this after I wrote, and I feel that there is no difference with me, and the next book will continue to be a small volume of more than 100,000 or 200,000 words.

Next, let's summarize the current plot.

[Prison Star Prison] is the first of three volumes, and its purpose is to pave the way for the big stage of the Terra continent, and the protagonist gradually understands the truth of this world.

In the prologue 'Disciple and Teacher', Ian, who was reincarnated in Terra, awakens the memories of his past life, and under the teaching of his teacher Hilliard, he gradually understands the subtleties and grandeur of this world, understands Terra's unique philosophical and scientific concepts, and gradually walks the path of an ascendant, knowing a little bit about his teacher's past scales.

From a person who only wanted to explore new possibilities in another world after reincarnation, he gradually became down-to-earth, truly lived in this world, and connected with many people, and then chose to inherit the teacher's beliefs, carry the other party's dream of transforming this world, and gradually move towards the future.

It was also during this process that Ian noticed that the starry sky on the Terra continent was extremely scarce, and the starless midnight appeared more and more often, and even became the norm.

At the end of the prologue, with the help of the silver chip, Ian discovers the shattered Lookout Moon, and for the first time he truly understands what the 'Scourge of the Skyfall' is, and paves the way for the next scene where the Terrans of the Pre-Era civilization are interrupted in stargazing at the starry sky.

Then, the volume of the 'South China Sea Labyrinth' is the process of Ian's initial development and growth, and gradually moving towards the stage of Terra.

With the Viscount's covert help, Ian gets in touch with two aristocratic researchers from the Imperial Capital, Isengard and Master Gosai, and they join forces to complete the Emperor's mission and explore the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea, which is at the heart of many grievances and feuds in the South Ridge.

In the Great Labyrinth, Ian discovers the truth about the Redwood natives, encounters the developing Brain-Eating Worm Swarm, and obtains the supreme management of the Sequoia Base Center with the help of the silver chip, and learns some secrets about the pre-era civilization.

And this secret has the origin of many magical beasts and sublimated creatures on Terra, the specific impact of the Heavenly Fall on the civilization of the previous era, and the real main line of this book, which has clues about the 'Prison Star Prison'.

In the universe where Terra is located, many cosmic civilizations, as well as civilizations that barely possess the ability to navigate the stars, are doing their best to launch tinder ships towards other star fields, intending to preserve their own civilization fire, or simply as a tombstone, engraved with the obsession that civilization never wants to be forgotten.

On the moon of Terra, there are many tinder ships that have fallen, and it is found that their pre-era Terra civilization has just ended the unification war, and the new alliance is full of desire to move forward and explore, they have absorbed a large number of alien technologies, and created many original prototypes of sublimated creatures, rapidly improving the technology (that is, alchemy) of the pre-era civilization.

However, there must be a reason behind all this. Many interstellar civilizations are sending tinder ships in unison, which must represent that there is a catastrophe in the universe that they have to flee from, and they can't even escape. At the same time, the pre-epoch civilization also discovered that the stars in the starry sky were disappearing, and this extremely anomalous phenomenon caused the pre-epoch civilization to begin to develop technology with all its might, seeking a way to escape the possible destruction.

They didn't run away.

The catastrophe of the fall of the sky destroyed the civilization of the previous era, and the last descendants of the glorious Terra civilization in the past became the redwoods who lived in seclusion under the trick of fate, and the redwoods also caused internal turmoil because of the contradiction between exploring the outside world and stable life, creating a swarm of brain-eating insects, which led to the failure of the core power group of the base, which indirectly led to the birth of a future storm.

The Sequoia people fled their base in a hurry, and finally struggled to survive in the redwood forests of the South China Sea, gradually evolving into the current redwood natives.

Ian knew all this, he knew more and more, but the doubts in his heart grew. Although he had not yet discovered the existence of the Prison Star Prison, a hazy speculation had already taken root in his heart.

But in any case, all the past is over. Whether it is the gradual degeneration of the Redwoods, or the grievances and hatreds surrounding the Great Storm and the Great Labyrinth, whether it is the death of his father or the path of the swarm, he still chooses to move towards a better future.

The third act, 'Heading for the Imperial Capital', is the scene where Ian leaves the 'novice village' of Port Harrison and officially sets foot in the land of Terra.

After summarizing the harvest and knowing that Terra is now an extremely developed civilization and a post-apocalyptic civilization was born, Ian understood that staying in a port city on the frontier of the empire, even if it was a field for decades, was nothing more than building a prosperous city. If he wants to better know the truth of the world and change the future of this world, he must go to a bigger stage, gain more knowledge, broaden his horizons and expand his contacts.

In this way, when he is really ready to change the world in the future, he will have enough wealth and resources, as well as technical reserves as a foundation.

In the process, Ian sees the contradictions between the countries of the Terra continent and the harm caused to the ordinary people of this world.

Whether it is the dead merchants along the way, the children taken captive in Golden Leaf Town, or the series of tragedies caused by Baron Lean and his children in the territory of Ryan, they are essentially a series of events derived from the conflict between the kingdoms of Terra. The Ryan Leader pointed directly to the future Avak Realm event, and in the process, the Empire, the Flying Flame Land, the Church of Huaiguang, the Worship of the Dragons, and the Canaan Moors all appeared to reveal their respective purposes.

The world is full of contradictions, people are ignorant and confused, even if they are used, they are unaware of it. Ian left the South Ridge with confusion and continued to the imperial capital, but he was always shrouded in the contradiction between the empire and the Flying Flame Land, all of which made him feel angry, but as a scholar, the rational part told him that the emergence of such a contradiction in a planetary civilization that has not yet been unified is a matter of course and an inevitable limitation of history.

But Ian wants to change that for granted. He wants to be the founder of a new history.

Finally, Ian saw the Imperial Capital. The majestic city of lonely mountains, the magnificent planetary shield generator, finally made him understand how advanced and developed the Terra civilization was in the past, and how powerful and distorted the current Terra civilization was.

It's definitely not something that can be changed by planting a field in a small place, making some gunpowder, and getting a few guns. This post-apocalyptic civilization has a solid order, a well-developed industrial system, and a complex political situation, and it is not only disrespectful to science, but also unrealistic to try to change it on its own.

After finally understanding what kind of responsibility the teacher wanted to entrust him with, Ian was relieved and determined to set his goal.

He wants to understand the world, the civilization, and the most advanced and developed side of Terra.

And then go and change it.

So Ian is moving towards the future.

So he came to the imperial capital.

The fourth act, which is the last scene of this volume, is, of course, 'Prison Star Prison'.

In the imperial capital, Ian saw the most superficial social contradictions, the powerlessness of ordinary people and the indifference of sublimators. It is indeed an advanced and developed city, with alchemy trains, air armor, and mobile fortresses. There are huge transport vehicles, developed alchemy, and mechanized farming in the central Great Plains.

The transformation of the central plains by the first emperor Inaga II made the vast majority of the inhabitants of the empire fed, and the sublimators sheltered the common people and ensured their survival and continuity, which was the legal foundation of the empire and even the rule of the Terra states, which was indestructible and unbreakable.

Ian watched it all, he helped some people, but more he couldn't help.

In order to obtain more resources, Ian shows his strength and receives attention and investment from the alchemy circle, and at the same time, the second prince Mikael, who is aware of this, also comes to talk to the protagonist - Mikael reveals the real problems of this post-apocalyptic civilization for Ian.

- Overdeveloped technology has made the existence of many people meaningless.

This is a problem that would have only occurred in the world of Datong, and the jobs of the vast majority of people could have been replaced by artificial intelligence long ago. In a society where morality and civilization have developed to a high level, this step is the basis for moving from the kingdom of necessity to the kingdom of freedom.

However, after the destruction of the pre-era civilization, the Terra civilization, which had acquired the corresponding technology, lost this moral concept and civilization system. And because of the catastrophe of the Heavenly Fall, the sublimation technology of the Terra civilization has developed greatly, creating a fourth and fifth energy level existence that ordinary interstellar civilizations cannot bring. These gods who walk on the earth are the crystallization of the highest level of technology, and they can almost be regarded as the ultimate weapons of an interstellar civilization, a humanoid star-sea battleship, and an alien colony center.

Due to the combination of multiple reasons, the current Terra civilization is unable to break free from the ruins caused by the collapse of the civilization of the previous era, and can only wait slowly in the dark, waiting for it to sprout or decay.

After receiving the second prince's advice, Ian understood that the best way to face the side that had the advantage in technology was to join it, learn it, be it, and then bury it.

He began to eagerly learn the knowledge of Terra, absorbing the technology of the imperial capital and the experience of his predecessors through the silver chip, although those are not the most advanced technologies in the first line, but with a foundation and suddenly there is a future growth and germination.

And just as Ian was getting better, Avakling's accident happened. This was the first major event that Ian encountered that would go down in history, and it was also the first time he had seen a battle between fourth-level powerhouses.

It was also the first time he understood how swift and worthless ordinary people would die under the power and conflict of the Sublimators.

In the labyrinth of subspace, Ian eliminated one of the culprits, the Gnosis researcher, and became the Dead One, battling Lord Avak and interrogating the true Archduke Thorin with the true Dead Lord Adbert.

But Grand Duke Thorin, who saw through one of Ian's true identities, told the two young men the truth.

- The Terra Domain has already been attacked by other interstellar civilizations. The Terra Solar System has been shrouded in the 'Prison Planet'.

A super-giant cage with a radius of five light-years that is cut off from the outside world's mind, imprisoning the entire Terra solar system in a corner.

What had been a suspicion came true, and after a brief moment of shock, Ian found himself not surprised, because this is indeed the only one possible to explain everything that happens in the starry sky.

Although Grand Duke Thorin was desperate, Ian believed that although they still didn't know what the Prison Star Prison was five light years away, since it had a rift that could allow some starlight from the outside world to shine in, and even the occurrence of a supernova explosion, it proved that the Star Prison was not complete.

It is very likely that the rift in the Prison Star Prison is related to the Disaster of the Skyfall, and although the civilization of the previous era was destroyed because of this, it also left them with a key.

Grand Duke Thorin chose to give up, while Ian always chose to move forward.

Choose to take a step into the future.

Knowing the existence of the Prison Star Prison, Ian finally got the knowledge he wanted about Terra, and he developed as quickly as he could, and knew the future from his prophetic psionic powers.

He was aware of the possibility of a spiritual path, but he still tried to do better. And Ian is gradually witnessing that the situation between the Empire and the Flamelands is slipping towards all-out war, which is both a disaster and an opportunity, and for him, who wants to change the existing order, this is the best time to fish in troubled waters.

No matter how terrifying the Star Prison Prison was, whether the cage five light years away was still closing, he had to start from what was in front of him, from where he could reach it.

So, Ian chose to return to Southridge and return to his own territory.

It's time to get started and truly transform the world with your own will.

Ian, who is firmly moving towards the future step by step and towards the dream in his heart, also ends his observation, incubation and exploration stage when he learns one of the lowest secrets of this world, the 'Prison Star Prison'.

There are many more secrets of Terra, such as the Fall of the Sky, the ecology of the world, and the enemies of the void related to the true dragon, all of which are still to be solved.

But now he is going to farm.

This is the story in the first volume of [Prison Star Heavenly Prison] in the high heavens. It is also a general episode, and the important stages are roughly selected, allowing readers to review the experiences of the protagonists.

By the way, let me, the author, also review the previous story, and organize my thoughts by explaining it to the reader, so as to better prepare for the later creation.

I believe this is necessary and not a waste of time. More preparation means better stories.

In this volume, I have used a lot of new techniques to write, and I am also trying to break through myself.

As long-time readers may know, in the first few books, I was actually a fast-paced person. Whether it's the strong man at the beginning of "Soul of Burning Steel" or the genius rapid upgrade stream of "Monster Kills and Dies", whether it's storytelling or leveling up, the speed is as fast as flying.

But because of this, I always felt that I had wasted a lot of ideas when I wrote two books and two books with 10 million words.

There are a lot of stories in both books, and I've thought about them very well, but I can't dig into the charm of these stories because of the fast pace.

Since I can write fast, I also have to try to slow down, retract freely, be fast when I should be fast, slow when I should be slow, this is a mature author, a person who writes stories.

So high in the sky, I tried to depict a world as much as possible, write the story of Ian's events in the continent of Terra, and reveal the secrets and truths behind this world.

As I said at the beginning, I am personally very happy with this. The entire first volume,Basically no plot is superfluous.,Each plot has a corresponding prefix and follow-up.,Everything is interlocking.,Maybe there's a little bit of a problem in terms of details.,But as a novice who tries this way of writing for the first time.,I think it's acceptable.。

But that's not to say I don't need to make corrections.

I am a person with a strong desire to explain, and when readers say they don't understand in this chapter, I basically will answer when I see it.

The same is true of the problem in the book, I am very worried that the reader will not understand my plot, so most of the causes and consequences will be mentioned, even several times, which will seem cumbersome.

In fact, this explanation is unnecessary, because those who can't understand it can't understand it, and the reader who understands it doesn't need to say it a second time.

The next volume will try to correct this issue, but I hope that readers will not ask too basic questions, such as 'My brother is two years old, and my father died eight years ago, dare to ask my brother what ......'.

I wrote about my stepdad in the first chapter! It has also been highlighted! But there are still 1~3 people asking this kind of question every day!

I have seen a lot of this kind of problem, and I really don't blame me for being cautious and explaining more about some problems.

All in all, if the High Heavens are essentially a story about curiosity, then the first volume of [Prison Star Prison] is about faith in the future.

Whether it is inheriting the teacher's beliefs, getting out of the South China Sea Labyrinth, choosing to go to the imperial capital, and finally returning to Nanling to develop, it is essentially a process in which Ian constantly chooses to move towards the future, rather than choosing a more comfortable and safe life.

It's a very difficult thing to do, just as I could have escaped into my comfort zone early in the morning, but still come to fantasy and write a niche, sci-fi story mixed with exploration and curiosity.

High in the sky is a breakthrough in my own inherent field, so far, it has indeed added a lot of new skill points for me, but there are also a lot of problems encountered, I have been sleepless at night for updates in recent months, and I have been thinking about the development of the plot during the day, which is very different from the relaxed writing that I originally expected.

Oh, yes. When you choose the future, you choose the unknown, fear and sorrow.

But this is also the darkness that leads to the dawn of tomorrow, and as soon as you step through, there are new landscapes and colors.

After the testimonial is written, here are a few science fiction books that can be called a source of inspiration.

Roger Zerazni's "King of Light" and Stephen Baxter's "Xeelee". And, of course, Liu Cixin's "Country Teacher" and "Mountain".

The King of Light can be said to be the pioneer of the fantasy expression of the core of science fiction, and Mr. Zerazny showed me a mythical science fiction world with the incredible imagination of that era.

Xeelee is known for its grandeur, and Mr. Baxter's imagination is even now a first-class master, among which the short story "Orion Line" and the long story "Joy" are classics, you may have read these stories or the bridges in the story, but you don't know that they are all under the Xeelee worldview.

As for Mr. Liu Cixin, I don't think I need to introduce him too much, just watch it and it's over.

Yes, there is no fantasy book that inspires the source...... I'm ashamed, but that's what I wanted from the bottom of my heart after reading the Queen of Light - I must write such a fantasy! Now it's a dream come true.

If you have time, you can check it out, they are all good books and stories.

To be honest, since April 1st, 8000~9000 have been updated every day, and this month it is 1w per day, so I don't have time to read books to absorb nutrients...... On such a diligent cloudy day, don't you vote for a month!

When I think of this, I can't help but think about it...... My friend next door eats the book demon and doesn't say, it's very happy to touch, even listening to the sun and a cat can frequently ask for leave in the name of the new volume, which makes me envious and jealous, but I regret that I chose the big volume mode for this book, which is really self-inflicted!

The next book is definitely still a small volume, not to mention anything else, the chance of asking for leave is several times more for no reason!

In particular, I recently went for a physical examination, and my muscle mass and metabolism are quite healthy, but I have a tendency to fatty liver and many minor problems in my body.

Work and rest, mood and mental allergies, insomnia, tenosynovitis and lumbar spine problems, some time ago there were even depressive symptoms, scared me to go to the gym for a period of time to decompress, the effect is okay, but the live code words that have been doing it have no time and mood, and the water group is also a lot less.

Now I take a cup of pills every morning, and I am not a patient, but I live the life of a patient...... Writing is a very stressful profession, and healthy lifestyle habits are really important.

Not much more.

Next, there is the second volume [Lord of Steel].

Steel is both a symbol of civilization and a manifestation of wrist and character.

Unlike his teacher, Hilliard, and his teacher's allegiance, Inaga II, Ian was by no means a good man in the ordinary sense of the word, preferring to address the root causes of problems once and for all rather than simply helping to solve problems.

That is, a distorted social order.

He has the same means as fire and cold steel, and he will never be merciful to himself or others in order to achieve his own ends.

In this volume, Ian will gradually create the order in his heart, and truly reveal the truth about the Prison Star Prison and the grand plans behind the countries of the Terra World, as well as the world they 'want to create' in the hearts of many powerful people.

Some approve and some oppose, but what remains constant is that a whole new order is spreading.

Just like the ice that spreads over the water in the harsh winter season.

Just like the steel that flows out of the furnace and is hammered and forged.

[Lord of Steel] Chapter 1, updated tomorrow at 12 noon - at least no leave, I hope you readers support.
