Questioning Heaven, Desiring the Way

Bloody hell. Didn’t you guys say you loved having levels and stages? Didn’t you guys say you wanted incredible detail for everything?

I’m writing an additional chapter here just to give you the damned stages. Giving you an encyclopedia page here.

Gu Suihan does not kill without any aim. Every time he kills, he had an intention behind it. For example, what he did in Qingguo was to test the will of that world.

I don’t like the MCs of the novels these days. They go around looking for trouble all the damned fucking time. Who is this shameless MC? He comes with an aura that says “please mock me”? And the antagonists are all so dumb? Everyone who sees the MC wants to kill him?

My setting is very simple. Gu Suihan is not someone who likes to go on massacres. He has no heart, so he’s someone who doesn’t differentiate between goodness and evil, truth and falsehoods, good and bad. He can kill a million souls because of a speculation and he can also save the same number for another reason. Do you get it?

From the beginning I’ve already hinted at it. Gu Suihan hates trouble, that’s why he wiped out the entire Gu family. He hated being part of the mess, that’s why he purposely failed the internal disciple selection and ran far from the sect. And now, he’s not saving Li Yu because it’s troublesome.

Until now, I don’t think the personality of the MC has changed in the slightest bit.

There are some people out there who say it’s not logical. Fuck you and your dad.

This is a fucking fantasy story for crying out loud and I have to prove my cultivation mathematical equation?

Also, at the very least, I don’t think I’ve dug any terrible holes so far. The biggest hole I’ve dug is the disdain and contempt for human beings. But I don’t think I’ve said anything wrong.

Also, the transition between the Devil Abyss and the Upper World was a bit stiff. Actually, I wanted to write about the Upper World only after I’d gone through a million words (so after about 380 chaps or so) but someone left a comment saying that they hope I’d write about the Upper World, so I switched to that.

But thinking about it now, it wasn’t a bad decision. Heaven knows how long more this book can last.

Also, someone asked about the different cultivation stages.

I didn’t want to write them in such detail initially. Why?

Very simple. In my book, I set the rules. Cultivating in the Way was the process of finding the rules. Get it?

Don’t take that bullshit from other novels about Golden Cores and Nascent Change and compare with mine. They cannot be compared like that.

The stages are simple.

Qi Activation is when one can get qi into the body to start changing the nature of the body.

Foundation Establishment is the metamorphosis of the mortal body. One officially starts cultivating here.

Origin Core. You get through three tribulations, gather three hun, combine the core into the subconscious mind. Refine fiendish qi into the body.

Nascent Change. You get through six disasters, cut off all worldly desires, gather seven po, shield the dantian inside your abdomen. You begin to understand the Way, which are the laws of nature.

Divine Soul. The core drops, the nascent forms in the abdomen. Refinement of fiendish qi goes up one level, understanding of laws of nature upgrades. The tens of thousands of little Ways turn into one generic Way. For example, all the laws regarding ice and rain are now laws of water, which is part of the Way of the five elements.

Immortal. At this stage, the heart-soul, which is to gather the soul into a platform. The heart-soul gathers dao runes, the nascent falls onto this platform which rises to the subconscious.

There’s plenty more after this, but you’d never get there unless I write another 100,000 more or a million more words. I might not even be writing anymore by then.

Also, bullshit in other novels about 3000 Great Dao and shit like that are irrelevant to this book. Get it?

There are only nine Ways here.

Life, death, the five elements, space and the last one will be revealed later. Not saying anymore.

If you still don’t get it, let me give you the most fucking shallow example I can.

Qi Activation in old novels means you can give off sword qi and blade glow.

Foundation Establishment means you can cause a change in the weather patterns for tens of miles.

Origin Core, thousands of miles up to ten thousand miles.

Nascent Change, ten thousand miles to a hundred thousand miles.

Divine Soul, you can scan and differentiate anything within a million miles. You can survive in space for a short time.

Immortal. Your spiritual sense can cover ten million miles. It just takes one thought for heaven and earth to collapse, thousands of souls to die. You can push the sky by raising your hand, disintegrate the ground by taking a step. You can tear through space, you can move through dimensions, you can tour about in space.

Lastly, to those who’ve been complaining, I hope you can read a bit more before airing your views. Writing a book is different from writing a composition where you’re done reading in just a few minutes.

Just like you have to eat your meals one mouthful at a time, things have to be done one at a time. I can’t tell you everything right from the start. If I did it that way, then in the first chapter, I could have told you what happens to the MC in the end and save you all that reading. Wouldn’t that be nice?

Like now, look at all those blurbs that come with the books these days. At the end, they like to put “watch how the MC becomes surrounded by beautiful women, conquers thousands of worlds, becomes the supreme power, becomes invincible and unbeatable, defying heavens and redefining dao” etc. Look at it now. Is there any meaning in doing that?

Right from the start, the ending has already been written out. Unless the writing’s really good and the author can fill the content with exciting details, it’s going to get boring after 200 chapters.

And since that’s all the ending is, why bother reading it one chapter at a time?

It’s just like what happened when I read Battle Through the Heavens. Honestly, I only read the first 81 chapters and the last 5 chapters and I could fill in at least 80% of the rest in between without getting it wrong.

In any case, I’m just putting these words out here. If you like the book, keep reading. If you don’t, get lost. Stop complaining and spraying shit everywhere. It just makes you look bad, doesn’t it?

As for how I scold people and all that…I said this a long time ago. If someone dares to curse me, I’m not going to back down. You didn’t fucking pay me to do this.

I’m just sick and tired of the books these days and wanted to write a book that I liked. I didn’t ask you to pay me either. Why should I back down?

For those who can’t stand this book, I can recommend other dark books like Reverend Insanity, Strongest Boss System, Limitless Devil Dao, there are too fucking many… But the only difference between me and those authors is, I don’t ask anything of you. So you don’t have the right to tell me what to do.

If you’re not happy, you could write your own book. You could read something else. Did I force you to read this?

That’s all for now. Please remember my words.
