Thank you all for keeping me company through a month of slacking off.
March was a month of slacking off. Because I suddenly went on a trip to Dali and my detailed outline was running dangerously low, I kept revising and rewriting—I spent a great deal of time ensuring the quality of the serialized chapters.
Then again, I was a little tired after the massive update spree in February.
Balancing work and rest, I got lazy, updating a total of 150,000 words over the whole month.
Those are my excuses for arguing my case. (Not really.)
April's update plan will probably still be 150,000 words, but that doesn't mean I'll be slacking off again.
The Constellations Chapter is very long. This volume began with the trip to Linci Town, stretched all the way to the Battle of Frozen Lake, then to Sang Island's Tan Yao. Lately, quite a few people have been asking whether this volume is about to end.
No.
This volume is still very long.
Starting with the Travelers Chapter, the volume titles no longer corresponded to a single piece of foreshadowing.
Think back carefully to the previous volume: Gu Shen joined the Investigation Corps as a "traveler," and in the end, the subtle trail of clues led to the Eighth God's Throne, "Traveler"... The constellations in this volume are the same.
Whether it is Jing Shan Yan or the Red Dragon, they are merely one star within the Constellations Chapter.
"The constellations are underground."
"If you choose to burn, we are willing to become your remnants."
"Death is not the end. Death is true rebirth."
They shine and burn on their own, but only when they are linked together do they become the entire night sky.
This volume's true ignition point still lies ahead—
I hope
