I'm taking today to sort through the plot, everyone.
The story is nearly 700,000 words long now. I've covered what I needed to in the early and middle stages, and we're moving into the latter half. I expect to finish around the end of December or sometime next January, with a final length of over 1.2 million words. That means the pace will start picking up.
As for what's coming next, after Lin Yuan loses Gravity, he'll unify the other two forces and then the three that follow. Lan Xuanyu's cultivation speed will be faster than ever, and he'll reach the seventh ring in no time (haha, going dark makes you ten times stronger, after all).
When they finally meet, it'll be through that old Douluo tradition: a tournament for a hand in marriage. Tang San will also sense Lan Xuanyu and realize that he's his descendant.
All in all, the plot may move faster from here on.
The Divine Realm will be established on the foundation of a newly born Divine-Rank Planet.
After the Great God Circle returns...
There'll be the love and resentment between Huo Yuhao, Tang Hao, and Tang Wutong, and the helplessness of our pure-as-jade Brother San in the face of an ethical dilemma.
One last thing:
I admire Third Young Master.
