I should have said this when I updated yesterday, but by midnight I was already completely dazed. Then today, I lost my memory and forgot it all clean.
To be honest, the Seed People arc was difficult and agonizing to write. As for how it will be judged... haha.
Stopping abruptly at Yu Ci's tribulation was really because I had written too many tribulations before. Writing another one would not have meant much.
And readers should have noticed that when facing heavenly tribulation, there is a distinction between "enduring" and "crossing"—there is quite a bit of meaning hidden within it.
As for what comes next, I can only explain it in detail to everyone in the "Purple Zenith" arc.
Now, back to the point. One arc has ended, and the outline for what follows needs to be fleshed out further. The story threads also need sorting through. (Actually, I want to reread this whole book from the beginning too, to get a feel for it again...) On top of that, there are some trivial matters in my life, so I have no choice but to take a few days off. I will strive to resume updates on Friday, Saturday at the latest.
Nearly a week without updates is practically courting death, but in order to make the coming plot fit together better and improve its quality, I hope everyone can understand.
