Two hundred alliances in a single day!

Around noon yesterday, the novel officially entered the signed contract phase. By noon today, there are already 221 Alliance Leaders.

For me, such momentum is unprecedented.

Once again, thank you all for your strong support!

Generally, I read through all the chapter comments in the book.

Thank you for your critiques and corrections.

Any issues that can be adjusted immediately, I do so at once. There are also some areas where I have plans in place.

For points of confusion, I assure you, wherever I have an outline, the logic is tight. Rest assured and keep reading—everything will be explained.

Additionally, I want to say that Ning Zhuo and Fang Yuan are fundamentally different.

Ning Zhuo is still young, has his mother's inheritance, and grew up until sixteen, having practiced full-time in the clan academy.

Fang Yuan is not like this. His first and second lives are markedly different.

The environment shapes how a character deals with people and situations.

If readers expect Ning Zhuo to act and behave like Fang Yuan from the outset, it's illogical.

Fang Yuan is unique; I won't lazily copy a second-generation Fang Yuan just to cash in.

For me, if I did that, I'd be shirking my responsibility and relying on past achievements to carry me.

Such an approach would be deceiving and disrespectful to my readers!

It would also be unfair to Ning Zhuo.

Every book I write is, in essence, a carefully nurtured child.

Ning Zhuo’s name contains the character for “clumsy”—he has his own awkwardness. Yet, in the eyes of others, these are marks of genius.

From this, you can see he possesses a unique charm.

Of course, readers can also see that deep down, he has a demonic nature; when necessary, he can be decisive, ruthless, and cold.

You will see this more clearly in the future, and come to appreciate it.

If I wrote Ning Zhuo exactly like Fang Yuan, then should Fang Yuan return someday, how would he stand out? No matter how dark things get, I always hold onto a shred of hope. Even if the whole world falls into despair, I absolutely refuse to be the one who gives up completely.

My personal suggestion is to adjust your expectations a little. This book will be thrilling—I’ll do my best to make it so—but the excitement won’t only come from cold-blooded ruthlessness. It will also feature Ning Zhuo’s own unique qualities!

These are precisely what will bring you a fresh reading experience.

I will maintain the foundation, and on that basis, let you enjoy something novel. That is one of my goals for this book.

The new novel, "Immortal Artisan," has only just begun—it's a seedling among seedlings—and everything depends on your support and continued reading. You all know well where my strengths as an author lie. Haha.

Personally, I think finishing the first major volume is the best point for a comprehensive evaluation of this book.

Lastly, thank you for supporting the character card “Chen Cha”; he’s nearly at full star now. Therefore, I’ve urgently launched another important character: “Shadow Demon Cultivator”! If you wish to reward, please do so for this character. Although he has not yet appeared, he will play a major role.

Thank you all once again.
