On March 1, 2022, Demon-Suppressing Pass was born.
On August 10, 2023, Demon-Suppressing Pass wrapped up.
I remember saying when Ghost Messenger ended that I hoped everyone would join me and Demon-Suppressing in climbing higher mountains and seeing farther horizons.
We...
Did it.
10 million readers.
3.8 million bookshelf adds.
Audio, comics, print editions, animation...
So much happened, and we went through so much in this year and a half, but I wanted to say...
All along this road...
Through both the scenery and the storms...
We were never alone.
Thank you...
Thank you for looking back amid that boundless sea of books, and staying ever since, through frost and wind, through snow and rain.
Thank you for quietly returning at some unknown moment, after briefly leaving for what might have been any number of reasons.
Thank you for quietly giving so much through countless days and nights...
Thank you for standing firmly beside me when I was lost and helpless.
With boundless gratitude,
I bow to you in respect.
Life is a train moving forward.
On this journey, we will see breathtaking scenery and the ravages of time, and... far too many farewells as well.
We have arrived at Demon-Suppressing Pass station...
But the train is still here, and so are we.
Perhaps some friends will choose to leave here, but others will board this train, setting off again, embarking anew.
So!
Passengers, please gather your belongings. Our next stop...
Above the Immortals!
See you there!
Let us keep climbing the next mountain, seeing new scenery, pursuing, and surpassing!
Three years, five years...
Or even longer!
I hope that one day, when we suddenly look back and remember this stretch of our lives, we can smile knowingly, having done our youth justice...
If so...
Er Mao will have no
