First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank all my fellow Daoists for your unwavering support. This book has now reached 2.45 million words, and I've rarely asked everyone for votes. This should be my first time opening a separate chapter for it.
Because I know my update volume is rather low, and there have been quite a few landmines in the middle portions of the plot that drove away many readers, I've been too ashamed to ask everyone for votes. Here, I'd like to apologize to all my fellow Daoists.
But I still want to make a couple of excuses. Chuxin only graduated not long ago and started working at a company, from eight in the morning to seven at night every day, with overtime from time to time. There really isn't much time to write, and mass updates are a luxury for me.
But tonight, I happened to see this month's monthly pass count. It had somehow already exceeded seven hundred.
As a bottom-tier author, this monthly pass count is the best result I've received so far. I'm truly overjoyed.

The reward isn't particularly generous, but it's a small achievement in my writing career. I never dared imagine it before, and this month is the closest I've ever come. I tossed and turned in bed at midnight, unable to sleep, got up and furiously wrote four thousand words—then looked out the window and saw that dawn had broken.
So I decided to swallow my pride and open this separate chapter to ask for the votes in everyone's hands.
Of course, I won't let everyone put in effort for nothing. As
