Volume One is concluded, yes, that’s right, tomorrow marks the beginning of Volume Two. From the first posting of this book until now, it's been just over four months; Volume One alone stretched to 1.15 million characters, which is more or less in line with my initial projections, meaning the tasks outlined in the initial blueprint have been completed according to schedule.

Regarding Volume One, some readers have commented that the pacing was too slow, while others felt it was too fast... well...

what am I supposed to do about that? Regardless of opinions, Volume One is now over.

Perhaps many friends feel that numerous threads were left unresolved, but allow me to maintain a little suspense for now; I can only say that these threads connect directly to the subsequent plotlines, perhaps even impacting Volume Three—so... hehe.

With Volume One finished, let's talk about Volume Two. Volume Two will see the resolution of some of the loose ends left in Volume One, and simultaneously, the array of factions will become significantly more intricate—just how intricate?

Hmm, you’ll find out tomorrow. Furthermore, for those who have argued that this book occupies the territory of Fantasy Cultivation yet drags in elements akin to Wuxia drivel, Volume Two will clarify things once it releases.

The only thing I'll reveal is that the protagonist will not abandon his current path of cultivation—alright, perhaps those comrades who favor High Martial Arts battling True Cultivation can cheer now. Anything more?

Hmm, that's all I can disclose. Finally, the monthly votes have been rather dismal, comrades...

I'm not demanding much; matching last month’s total would suffice, especially considering we still hold the sixth spot in our category. That’s all for now.
