Chapter 4132: Fanxin

"In the end, I came too late!"

The old monk in linen robes vanished from atop the giant beast and appeared before Hao Tian and the Fourth Confucian Ancestor, without any fluctuation of power.

Space did not stir, nor did the air currents move.

The process of his movement caused no impact on the outside world, as if he had always been standing there.

This terror, displayed in such silent subtlety, left no one unshaken.

"Master!"

Bao Zhu Di Zang stepped forward, pressing her palms together, and bowed to the old monk.

There was no surprise on her face.

This undoubtedly confirmed Zhang Ruochen's speculation—Bao Zhu Di Zang had known all along that Di Zang Wang was not dead, and everything had been her lie.

"Di Zang Wang!"

Shang Tian and Huang Tian were shaken inwardly.

At the same time, Huang Tian felt a strong surge of curiosity. Since Di Zang Wang's cultivation realm was so terrifying, why had Bao Zhu Di Zang deceived everyone, claiming he had passed away?

Since Di Zang Wang was not dead, why had he allowed Tan Tuo Di Zang and Bao Yin Di Zang to cooperate with the Eight Divisions Followers?

In this meticulously orchestrated Minor Calamity conspiracy, what role did Di Zang Wang actually play?

Hao Tian and the Fourth Confucian Ancestor had both traveled through Di Huang and had met Di Zang Wang many years ago, possessing a certain understanding of his knowledge, character, and cultivation.

Thus, when he appeared, though surprised, they could remain calm.

Di Zang Wang removed the bamboo hat from his head. His brows and beard were white, and his brow bones and eyes were very three-dimensional, giving his gaze a profound depth.

He said, "The Nether Ancestor is too powerful! Even from billions of miles away, He can perceive the myriad heavenly mechanisms and changes in the universe. To deceive Him into entering the Gray Sea, and even into Bi Luo Pass, is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"To enter Bi Luo Pass today, this humble monk has made too many preparations. Faking death during the Entropy Epoch was one part of it."

Di Zang Wang's face was not that of a kindly, aged countenance; instead, his spirit was full and vibrant, revealing boundless fighting spirit. One could imagine how handsome he must have been in his youth.

He said, "Bao Zhu did not intentionally deceive you all. It is simply too difficult to evade the Nether Ancestor's perception and cross the heavens and seas to enter Tian Huang!"

Was this truly an Ancestor?

Was an Ancestor apologizing to them on behalf of Bao Zhu Di Zang?

Fortunately, the cultivators present all had profound mental states and were top-tier, peerless existences, able to remain composed. If it had been any other deity, they would likely have knelt by now.

Di Zang Wang gazed at the broken land before him and sighed, "This humble monk still underestimated the Nether Ancestor's perception! The moment I entered Bi Luo Pass, He knew I was not dead and that I had come to the Gray Sea. Fortunately, Yan Huanyu temporarily stopped Him, buying us a little time."

Shang Tian always felt that the old monk before him did not seem like an Ancestor, lacking any trace of the legendary ancestral majesty. He couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Divine Monk, has your cultivation reached the Ancestor level?"

Among those present, even Bao Zhu Di Zang, who had always known her master was unfathomable, showed a look of curiosity.

Since ancient times, Ancestors have been remembered for eternity.

Half-Ancestors were already unattainable, but compared to Ancestors, there was still a gap as vast as heaven and earth.

An Ancestor represented omnipotence.

Di Zang Wang smiled gently: "Ancestor? I merely caught a ray of light from the era and managed to reach this realm by chance."

"It was the Entropy Epoch. After the Entropy Epoch, the rules of heaven and earth underwent further drastic changes. The suppression of the realm's shackles by the rules of heaven and earth weakened, and even the barriers between the three realms became blurred. Light was no longer absolute light, truth was no longer absolute truth, space was no longer an unchanging constant—chaos was approaching."

"Chaos represents the unlocking of shackles, allowing everything to grow wildly until the arrival of destruction after one Eon."

"The prelude to death is often a carnival."

"In terms of Buddhist teachings, I cannot compare to the Seven Buddhas. In terms of cultivation talent, I cannot compare to Heavenly Demon Great Venerable. In any other era, my meager aptitude would never have allowed me to reach the Ancestor realm."

Di Zang Wang's heartfelt words, however, sounded to the listeners like excessive modesty.

The Fourth Confucian Ancestor had only broken through to the peak of the ninety-fourth rank by merging his righteous qi and spiritual power at the brink of death. Reaching the Half-Ancestor level was already so difficult.

The path between the Half-Ancestor peak and the Ancestor realm was an unimaginable distance.

Bao Zhu Di Zang was someone who never hid her emotions, her face full of joy. "Since Master is an Ancestor of this era, then this Minor Calamity at Bi Luo Pass will naturally be resolved."

Di Zang Wang's face showed no fluctuation, but a hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Ruochen knew very well what "Bi Luo Pass" meant. Jia Ye Buddha had sacrificed his life to forge the Void Cauldron, leaving the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram" on the cauldron with his own soul.

Bi Luo Pass was located on the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram."

What was the purpose of this?

Undoubtedly, Bi Luo Pass hid a great secret.

The Nether Ancestor had tried more than once to destroy the Void Cauldron and erase the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram," preventing anyone from knowing the connection between Him and Bi Luo Pass. It was evident that the secret of Bi Luo Pass must be related to Him, and it likely held the key to killing Him.

Perhaps for this reason, the Nether Ancestor had the Eight Divisions Followers guard Bi Luo Pass, preventing any cultivator from approaching.

Zhang Ruochen had seen the Void Cauldron and the "White Stone Enlightenment Diagram" at Hai Shi Xing Wu, speculating that Bi Luo Pass was the weakness the Nether Ancestor had been hiding. Therefore, he had to come to Bi Luo Pass no matter what, to unravel its secrets.

Otherwise, relying solely on combat power, who could defeat the Nether Ancestor?

Even if they defeated the Nether Ancestor, who could kill Him?

Back then, even Immovable Bright King Great Venerable had summoned several Witch Ancestors to assist and still failed.

Zhang Ruochen asked, "May I ask, Senior, why did you have to go to such lengths to deceive the Nether Ancestor and enter Bi Luo Pass? What is inside the pass?"

Exactly!

Everything Di Zang Wang had done seemed to be for the purpose of entering Bi Luo Pass.

Shang Tian knew that the pass was an absolute forbidden zone, and even the leaders of the Eight Divisions Followers could not venture deep inside.

Earlier, it seemed that Di Zang Wang had alarmed the Nether Ancestor, who was deep in the starry sky, precisely because he had broken into Bi Luo Pass.

The eyes of all the cultivators present fell upon Di Zang Wang.

Di Zang Wang's gaze was immensely vast, looking at the Gray Sea, lost in recollection.

After a long time, his expression shifted from bitterness to gradual relief. "It all began in the year of Weiyang's marriage. That year, Weiyang and Da Fantian were to be wed. The Sixth Patriarch went, but I could not."

Di Zang Wang recounted the past with the Sixth Patriarch and Meng Weiyang, telling a more detailed story than Bao Zhu Di Zang had, and also spoke of the bond between the three.

"The battle with the Sixth Patriarch continued until Di Huang, where I was also defeated. It was not until I had completely exhausted my strength that the Sixth Patriarch told me a shocking, eternal secret."

Even Zhang Ruochen pricked up his ears, knowing that what Di Zang Wang was about to say was likely the secret that the Ancestors of history had been pursuing.

Di Zang Wang said, "The Sixth Patriarch said that on the day of the wedding, he sent Weiyang to the Gray Sea, and a voice rang in his mind, guiding him all the way to Bi Luo Pass."

"Once inside Bi Luo Pass, he arrived at a wondrous world where only two rules existed: life and death. He called that world the Realm of Life and Death."

Here it comes!

The Realm of Life and Death!

The Life and Death Elder had forged the "Book of Life and Death" at Bi Luo Pass, the Fate Ancestor had forged the "Lamp of Birth and Extinction" there, and Immovable Bright King Great Venerable had found "Creation Life Iron" and "Creation Death Iron" at Bi Luo Pass—the raw materials for forging the Abyssal Ancient Sword and the Blood Drop Sword.

Everything was related to the forces of life and death. Was this secret about to be revealed now?

Di Zang Wang said, "The Sixth Patriarch met a person in the Realm of Life and Death, or rather, a consciousness. Because the Sixth Patriarch said he could not recall the other's form or appearance at all—his memory was a blur."

"That consciousness claimed to be the Nether Ancestor's Fanxin."

Zhang Ruochen's heart trembled slightly. "What does the Nether Ancestor's Fanxin mean?"

Di Zang Wang pondered carefully before saying, "The other party did not tell the Sixth Patriarch what Fanxin was. They only said that Fanxin was a Buddha heart, the part of life within life and death, representing the Nether Ancestor's good heart, compassionate heart, and heart yearning for life. It was also the Nether Ancestor's only weakness."

"Only by severing His Fanxin could the Nether Ancestor use the Santu River to harvest the lifespan, life, and souls of all beings in the universe, achieving eternal immortality and unending life."

"Fanxin represents bonds, flaws, and weaknesses."

"Just like the Sword Ancestor of old, who had to abandon his sword courage and sword soul to escape and survive. A Sword Ancestor with courage could only fight and die."

"A Nether Ancestor with a Fanxin could not act arbitrarily and naturally could not achieve immortality."

"The Nether Ancestor could not kill the Fanxin, so He could only seal it in the Realm of Life and Death within Bi Luo Pass, preventing anyone from knowing of the Fanxin's existence, and having the Eight Divisions Followers guard Bi Luo Pass, designating the pass as a forbidden zone."

Zhang Ruochen was deeply shaken, thinking to himself, "Is this the reason the Nether Ancestor hides the connection between Himself and Bi Luo Pass? Is this why the Nether Ancestor has always wanted to erase the 'White Stone Enlightenment Diagram'?"

Di Zang Wang continued, "Over the years, this humble monk has been studying ancient texts and collecting texts from all over the world. Through research, I have discovered that the Nether Ancestor and Jia Ye Buddha indeed have some extraordinary connection."

"Whether or not the Nether Ancestor is Jia Ye Buddha's Dharma body transformed into the Nether, He must be closely related to Buddhism and must have cultivated Buddhist teachings."

"The Nether Ancestor is called the Sixteenth Day."

"On the Sixteenth Day, the moon wanes and the Nether is born. In other words, He was only called the Nether Ancestor after the Sixteenth Day. What about before the Sixteenth Day?"

The Fourth Confucian Ancestor was moved. "Does the Ancestor believe that Fanxin is the first fifteen days?"

Di Zang Wang nodded slightly. "Fanxin told the Sixth Patriarch that the Entropy Epoch was approaching and the Calamity had arrived. The Sixth Patriarch was the only being He could see in that era with the potential to become an Ancestor, perhaps able to face the calamity."

"Fanxin said that before the Entropy Epoch, everything was predetermined. Those who reached the Ancestor level could deduce most things. Major events could be roughly known, and life and death could be sensed."

"After the Entropy Epoch, everything became variable. Even the Nether Ancestor could only take one step at a time amidst the chaotic heavenly mechanisms."

"He told the Sixth Patriarch to lie low before the Entropy Epoch, to hide his brilliance, to walk in the shadows, to deceive the Ancestors, and thus survive. After the Entropy Epoch, he could go to Bi Luo Pass to see Him. Otherwise, he would surely die!"

"The Sixth Patriarch sensed the hidden meaning in Fanxin's words, knowing that he would face a great calamity before the Entropy Epoch. Otherwise, why would He need to warn him?"

"The Sixth Patriarch knew himself too well! He was definitely not someone who could stand by and watch others die. When the heavens crumbled and the earth split, how could he possibly lie low?"

In Di Zang Wang's mind, the image of the Sixth Patriarch's cheerful, laughing face appeared. The Sixth Patriarch laughed as he spoke: "I am doomed to die, so you do the lying low. You go and keep Fanxin's Entropy Epoch appointment for me. You have the demonic nature of the Fifth Patriarch; you can observe life and death with a calm heart. You face the calamity, save the suffering, and the people of the world are entrusted to you!"

"Save the suffering? The people of the world? Can you speak even more grandly? Do you really think you are a Buddha? I am going to the Gray Sea now. I must see Weiyang one last time. You should just live well yourself, live until the Entropy Epoch arrives."

The Sixth Patriarch said, "You have already lost! Have you forgotten that before the fight, you agreed that if you lost to me, you would never leave Di Huang?"

"What I agreed to was the past me, blinded by anger, not the present me. If you want to collect the bet, go find the past me. The present me does not acknowledge it!" said Di Zang Wang.

The Sixth Patriarch said, "What if I said this was Meng Weiyang's intention?"

"What do you mean?"

Di Zang Wang stopped in his tracks.

The Sixth Patriarch caught up, speaking earnestly, "Do you think I would not have communicated with her about such a big matter? Her meaning is this: if you have to choose between being together in life and death, and living… she wants you to live, to live for more people! To be honest, in matters of right and wrong, in decisiveness and courage, you are far inferior to her."

The Sixth Patriarch continued muttering, "I am actually a bit unhappy. She wants you to live, which means she wants me to die. Thinking back, she and I knew each other first. In terms of friendship, mine with her is deeper. But women, once they fall in love, they no longer care about their friends' lives!"

Di Zang Wang asked, "Since the Gray Sea is full of experts, and the Nether Ancestor is omnipotent, how were you able to enter Bi Luo Pass? Did the Nether Ancestor not kill you?"

In the memory, when Di Zang Wang asked the Sixth Patriarch this question.

In reality, Zhang Ruochen also asked the same question.

Di Zang Wang said, "It was Fanxin who concealed the heavenly mechanism and deceived the experts of the Eight Divisions Followers, allowing the Sixth Patriarch to freely enter and exit the Gray Sea and Bi Luo Pass. When the Sixth Patriarch woke up at the gate of Bi Luo Pass, Fanxin had fallen into a deep sleep, urging him to leave quickly."

"The Sixth Patriarch fell asleep at Bi Luo Pass?" Bao Zhu Di Zang exclaimed in surprise.

Shang Tian said, "So, the young Sixth Patriarch himself did not know if he had actually entered Bi Luo Pass. Perhaps it was all just a dream?"

Suddenly, Hao Tian said, "I understand! I know why the Sixth Patriarch could see Fanxin at that time!"

The Fourth Confucian Ancestor seemed to realize something and said, "That time should have been after the Ancestor War, when the Nether Ancestor was severely wounded by the Great Venerable and the Witch Ancestors and was cast into the future, outside of time and space. Since the Nether Ancestor was absent, the seal of the Realm of Life and Death naturally loosened, giving Fanxin the opportunity to see the Sixth Patriarch."

Huang Tian said, "Without Fanxin concealing the heavenly mechanism, with Senior's cultivation at the time, going to the Gray Sea would have been a death sentence. The Sixth Patriarch was right!"

Zhang Ruochen thought of something and, with a flicker of insight, asked, "Did the Sixth Patriarch not tell Meng Weiyang all of this?"

"Of course he did!" said Di Zang Wang.

Zhang Ruochen said, "So, it was Meng Weiyang who did not let you go to the Gray Sea?"

Di Zang Wang gazed intently at Zhang Ruochen, and in his ears, a voice transmission from the distant giant beast sounded. His eyes lit up, and his expression became extraordinarily vivid. He laughed, "Little friend is indeed exceptionally intelligent. You guessed it!"

Little friend?

Was Di Zang Wang so sure that he was younger than him?

"Could it be that Di Zang Wang knows my identity? That shouldn't be!" Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.

The people around were all stunned by Di Zang Wang and Zhang Ruochen's words.

"Master, are you saying that back then, it was Meng Weiyang who did not let you go to the Gray Sea?" Bao Zhu Di Zang said.

Di Zang Wang nodded again.

"No wonder I said so much at the Love Mountain Inn, and she was unmoved," Bao Zhu Di Zang muttered to herself.

The confusion in Hao Tian's heart was also resolved. "With her level of spiritual power, she couldn't kill a single person. So the root cause was here."

Shang Tian said, "It's not that she didn't kill anyone. At least she killed the traitor Yuan Qiu."

The Fourth Confucian Ancestor laughed heartily: "Tian Huang and Di Huang have been looking at each other for over a million years. One refuses to cross the Gray Sea, the other refuses to leave Di Huang. One defected to the Nether Ancestor, the other lay low. Interesting, very interesting! No wonder you could break through to the Ancestor realm. Your mental state had no flaws, only infinite longing and anticipation. That is a kind of motivation!"

Huang Tian said, "Is it really interesting? I only feel boundless suffering. If there were no other choice, who would be willing to grow old without seeing each other?"

Zhang Ruochen sighed inwardly, lamenting the twists of fate. At the same time, the figure of Ji Fanxin appeared in his mind. Was the Fanxin the Sixth Patriarch spoke of her?

Zhang Ruochen asked, "Ancestor, have you entered the Realm of Life and Death?"

Di Zang Wang nodded.

"Did you see Fanxin?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Di Zang Wang closed his eyes and shook his head. "Inside the Realm of Life and Death, there is no sign of Fanxin or Buddha Qi, only the Nether Flame of Death."

Everyone's smiles vanished, and the atmosphere sank to freezing point.

"So, the Sixth Patriarch was deceived? The so-called Fanxin does not exist at all?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

From the gray mist in the distance came Gan Da Po's voice: "No, Fanxin did not deceive the Sixth Patriarch! At the end of the Middle Ages, the Nether Ancestor launched a Minor Calamity that lasted three months but was defeated by the Divine Realm. Severely wounded, He fled back to the Gray Sea, intending to enter the Realm of Life and Death to absorb Fanxin's power and return to His peak. But at that time, He was no match for Fanxin!"

"Fanxin found the best opportunity to escape, instead suppressing the Nether Ancestor and sealing Him within the Realm of Life and Death. When Fanxin left the Gray Sea, He met with me once."

"It was not until the Entropy Epoch erupted that the Nether Ancestor finally broke free."

Gan Da Po's figure was indistinct, standing beneath the giant beast that was Di Zang Wang's mount, raising a hand to gently stroke the beast's whiskers.

The giant beast was as docile as a flower cat, slowly lying down on the ground.

Just like its master, it had waited too long for this day of reunion.

(End of Chapter)

Write a single chapter response!

Originally, at the beginning of the year, I planned to finish the book in August or September. But because I've been writing too slowly this year, only managing sixty to seventy thousand words a month, I'm still wrapping things up.

First, let me shamelessly give some objective reasons for the slow updates:

First, this book has nearly fourteen million words and has been written for over eight years. It's been a really long time. The whole person is like a computer that has stored too much stuff, running slower and slower.

There are too many characters, treasures, techniques, divine powers, plots, clues, details... and the different relationships between hundreds of different characters to remember.

For example, just the small story of Bi Luo Pass involves dozens of characters being written about simultaneously.

1. The relationship between Tian Huang and Di Huang cultivators. 2. The relationship between the Meng Clan and the Eight Divisions Followers. 3. The past and present lives of Fan Chen and Da Fantian. 4. The karma between Da Fantian and the Meng Clan. 5. The stories of the Sixth Patriarch, Gan Da Po, and Di Zang Wang. 6. The grievances between Shang Tian and Huang Tian. 7. Zhang Ruochen's purpose in coming to Bi Luo Pass. 8. The karma between Shang Tian and the Eight Divisions Followers. 9. Bao Yin Di Zang and Tan Tuo Di Zang with the Eight Divisions Followers. 10. The investigations of the Fourth Confucian Ancestor and Wu Shi...

Let me list ten for now!

This small story probably has more than twenty threads to write. Each character has their own independent story, and the conflicts and storylines between characters are even more numerous.

It's precisely because this book has so many characters that the entire worldview probably has close to a thousand characters' stories developing and evolving over time.

So now, every time I write a chapter, I almost have to write over a thousand words of detailed outline, constantly organizing.

It can be said that "Eternal God Emperor" may not be the best-written book, but it is absolutely the most difficult book to write in the entire online literature circle right now, in my own opinion.

The difficulty lies in the fact that I can't just write randomly. I must write a certain degree of story and readability within the vast worldview and the intricate relationships between characters.

Currently, the combined follow-up subscriptions for "Eternal God Emperor" on Qidian and QQ Reading should be around 100,000. Placed across the entire online literature circle, among serialized books, there are only a few.

I don't know if any book over five million words has over 100,000 follow-up subscriptions. Anyway, among serialized books over ten million words, there probably isn't one with 100,000 follow-up subscriptions. "Eternal God Emperor" is likely the only one.

Of course, Qidian and QQ Reading only account for a small portion of "Eternal God Emperor's" follow-up readers, less than half.

If you count all follow-up readers, "Eternal God Emperor" is likely the number one book on Yuewen, including all books on Qidian.

All of the above are my guesses.

Reader follow-up is the greatest affirmation of a book. To maintain such a large body of follow-up readers, I absolutely cannot write carelessly. If I write carelessly, readers won't read!

So, the second objective reason is that even if the updates are slow, I have to stabilize the book, stabilize the characters and the plot. The pace can't be too fast or too slow.

Regarding the plot, everyone should never worry about a bad ending or anything like that. A book over ten million words might have some small loopholes, but the author has written for eight years and definitely understands this book better than the readers. I will definitely give a satisfactory answer to the readers who have followed for several years.

Every time I write a chapter, many readers guess the next plot.

If they guess correctly, they say the author copied their idea. If they guess wrong, they say the author changed the outline. Unless no one guesses, there's no escaping these two outcomes.

There's really no need!

Every time the author writes a plot, I definitely bury many foreshadowings. Being able to guess the follow-up shows that you are reading carefully and truly love the book, which is why you analyze correctly.

But a book not only needs suspense but also twists, twists within the foreshadowing. So, even if you didn't guess correctly, it's still within the author's design.

Writing itself is about manipulating the reader's psychology and emotions. If you can't do that, the book has no readability.

Some characters written many times in the book are still considered new characters by some readers, appearing for the first time.

Some plots written repeatedly many times are considered repetitive and verbose by some readers, while others think they are forced settings.

This is irreconcilable!

Like the plot of the last two chapters, in fact, ninety percent of it is content from previous chapters, an integration of all clues. But many readers still feel that these things are written now, arranged on the spot.

I have analyzed the reasons. It's not your fault; it's my own problem.

It's that the updates are too slow, and a plot drags on for too long. I am very grateful to the readers who can remember the entire context. You are absolutely the most loyal batch of readers of "Eternal God Emperor."

Readers who can't remember the character clues and story context are actually normal readers, the majority. Including myself, I have to repeatedly look back at previous chapters.

Because it really has been dragged out for too long, updated too slowly, and written too complexly.

This is the author's problem. I humbly accept all criticism.

The objective reasons for slow updates are analyzed. Then come the subjective reasons.

The subjective reason is something I cannot avoid. I really haven't worked hard enough and have been slack. I'll slowly discuss this issue after the book is finished.

Finally, let me talk about some of everyone's confusion regarding the recent plot.

First, Fanxin and the Nether Ancestor—are they one good and one bad?

The answer is: there is no absolute good or bad. Their fates are bound together.

Second, whitewashing Shang Tian and Gan Da Po?

Answer: There is no whitewashing of anyone! Because a good person must have a reason for being good, and a bad person must have a reason for turning bad. As I said before, "Eternal God Emperor" has no absolute good or evil.

If someone is whitewashed, it must be that their reason for turning bad is written, and the logic behind their actions is written. A bad person can't be born just to do bad things, can they?

Third, why write the plot of Tian Huang and the Gray Sea?

Answer: This is a necessary plot. The entire book will end here. Consider this half a spoiler!

Fourth, has the Nether Ancestor been weakened?

Answer: Every Immortal is extremely terrifying, not just in cultivation but also in wisdom. Everything you see now is just what He wants you to see. If you think He is weak, it's just that He wants you to think He is weak.

Who laughs last, laughs best.

So far, the entire world of Eternal God Emperor is still under the control of the Immortals. They are very sober, more sober than anyone else.

Fifth, why write that Zhang Ruochen can restore his cultivation with a single thought?

Answer: This was the original setting. I was always preparing to write it at the moment of restoration. But I really couldn't bear the readers' criticism anymore, so I wrote it out early.

No matter if readers scold me for padding or for slow pacing, I have never compromised and didn't want to explain. After all, writing a book according to the reader's ideas would definitely ruin it. I have always insisted on my own pace. This time, I compromised!

Of course, it's also because the protagonist will soon restore his cultivation, so the impact is not significant.

Sixth, the character "He" is used a lot and does not refer to a specific person. As long as the gender is temporarily unknown in the book, and as long as the character is mysterious enough, "He" is used.

Finally, there are too many characters and storylines now. Interested readers can follow the WeChat public account "Fei Tian Yu." Old fans know that this public account has been running for many years. Every day, it organizes the storylines of newly appeared characters and organizes past events to facilitate everyone's reading.
