Afterword (Free)

Xiao Feng started publishing this book on January 11, 2020. It had been roughly three years and three months by now—the longest book Xiao Feng had ever written. Or rather, the one that had dragged on the longest.

Too many things had happened during the writing process.

These three years had truly felt like a dream.

My grandfather passed away, my mother passed away, I caught COVID... Surreal upon surreal, hazy and lost, unable to move forward.

Things finally recovered somewhat at the beginning of this year, so I began updating as much as possible, trying to tie up the loose ends I had left unfinished.

Dragon Ball had originally been planned for this book, and there were even going to be slice-of-life anime worlds, but too much happened along the way. It had become difficult to recapture the state of mind and feeling I had back then.

A total of 2.14 million characters.

It was not Xiao Feng's best book, but it was the longest one, and the first to surpass two million characters.

A lot happened while writing this book and Shenyou, but those experiences also helped me grow. To put it bluntly, reality forced you to grow up, forced you to understand all kinds of things and the ways of the world.

After going through so much, I realized there were many things I could no longer write. Looking back at my earlier books, I felt that I might never again be able to write many of those plots with the same feeling.

On the other hand, I could now slowly write some things I had been unable to write before.

In any case, I would finish Shenyou as soon as possible and give it its ending.

Shenyou was a book I rushed out to make money.
