Finally—the end of Volume 4.

Beginning in mid-September and ending in late December, this volume can be described as a lot of ups and downs, during which it has gone through two qualification exams, as well as a month of recruitment with his girlfriend, plus miscellaneous things, fortunately, they have all got a satisfactory result, 2023, and it is also coming to an end.

And the end of the fourth volume also means that the last thing of the year can finally be drawn to an end - of course, this does not mean the end of the book.

As far as the current progress is concerned, the plot of this book has been completed by 40%, which means that there will be a total of about ten volumes of arrangement, as for what kind of story will be presented to you in the end, I think through these four volumes, readers should already have their own opinions.

The story of the fourth volume, the main body of which occurred in Ziwei Guxing, the inspiration for this volume actually originated from the words that the god of the Taiyin Emperor was awakened in his past and present lives and after the king landed on the Beidou.

As for what this sentence is, friends who have read the original book must know what I want to explain, and friends who have not read it will also know everything about it in the future plot through a coherent line of cause and effect.

In short, based on this, a story that spanned millions of years of Ziwei Ancient Star and happened 200,000 years ago is slowly unfolded for you in this volume.

It must be said that this volume is the first time I have tried to write multi-line branches, and I have encountered some problems during the period, and I vaguely feel that it can be laid more comprehensively, but this time is really busy, and the pen power is limited, so it ushered in the end of this volume, but also accumulated some experience for the fifth volume.

But this story belonging to Ziwei is not over yet, it will become the starting point of the fifth volume, and on this basis, it will start a storm that affects the entire Beidou cultivation world, and this turmoil will also become the last piece of the puzzle why our empress will become the empress, and it is also the world-covering world that we will see in the future.

Visible baldness, but it must be cool to write.

If the first, second and third volumes are about moving the timeline forward in an existing world, so as to observe and record it, then the feeling of writing the fourth volume as a whole is like playing a sandbox game, which not only requires me to observe and record, but also requires me to construct the world with words one by one, which is a very interesting and wonderful process.

And, I don't know if you can feel that in this volume, the empress of our girlhood is obviously a little more lively, she is no longer as closed as in the past, but has begun to gradually accept everything in this world, to appreciate, to delight, to discover...... All of this is condensed into what I think is the second most important trait of the empress—a kind of sensual thinking that belongs to her.

Yes, sensibility, this is the second piece of personality fragment that constructs the empress after transcendence, in short, the sensibility mentioned here, that is, the perception and view of the world in the popular sense, you and I have it, but everyone is different.

This topic can be explained indirectly by a question that applies to each of us, namely:

What does the world look like to you?

What is your experience with the world?

Different people will have different answers, and different answers mean different views and cognitions of the world, and this answer itself also represents a different life one after another.

The empress's answer is the embodiment of her unique perceptual thinking, as for what her answer is, it is naturally the content to be explained in the later plot, so stay tuned.

There is still one last week in 2023, and it's time to deal with some of the rest of the things, so I won't update it for the time being, and I want to read the four volumes written in front of me from the beginning during this time, summarize the opinions of readers and the experience accumulated in the process, and hope to write the later plots more exciting.

The title of the fifth volume is set to "The Wind Fills the Sea, and the Dust Covers the Sky", and it should start to be updated on New Year's Day, no later than a week - yes, in this volume, we are finally going to do something to the wind and dust, or the heavenly court behind him.

Finally, thank you for your continued support! See you in 2024!

Here's wishing you all a happy new year and all the best (. ￫v￩｡ )！
