Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 69 "Tomb of Gods"

Huizhou Teachers College.

The freshmen started their military training. Waves of slogans reached Cao Sheng's ears in the classroom. Sitting by the window, Cao Sheng glanced at the freshmen wearing grass-green camouflage uniforms on the playground from time to time, and couldn't help but sigh that time flies.

In my memory, my military training in college seems like only a few years have passed, but in fact it has been more than 20 years.

Before his rebirth, ever since he turned 30, he often wondered who had pressed the time acceleration button? Otherwise, why would he be 40 in the blink of an eye?
He remembered that there was a popular saying on the Internet for a while: You get old before you even go crazy.

He felt the same way about these words.

I always think about working hard to build my career and make money first, and then I will enjoy life and travel around after I am financially independent.

But his finances were never free.

If his savings increase a little, the housing prices will increase even more. If his savings increase a little more, prices will also start to soar. If his savings increase a little more, even the marriage gifts will start to double and increase rapidly.

By the time he finally had a house, a car, and savings and could afford to marry a wife, the children of his peers were already in junior high school, and those who got married early had their daughters already started dating.

When everyone was eating and drinking together, they actually started talking about health preservation and elderly care.

At that time, he wanted to say: What are you talking about? I'm not married yet!

Cao Sheng had no interest in accounting courses. He was always distracted in class and had no interest in listening to what the teacher said on the podium.

Because he never wants to be an accountant again in his life.

But it's quite boring to be distracted all the time and look out the window at the military training of the freshmen.

He didn't want to waste time like this.

I took out the draft paper under the textbook and thought about my next new book.

Although he has no plans to write a new book in the near future, "I Want to Become an Immortal" will take at least one or two years to write, so he is not in a hurry to write a new book.

But since he had nothing to do anyway, he wanted to prepare the subject matter and outline of the next book while "I Want to Become an Immortal" could still be serialized for a long time.

What should I write in the next book?

He has already written "I Want to Become an Immortal", a book about immortal heroes and cultivation. For his next book, he wants to change the subject matter and let those pioneers of the original time and space complete the path they took and let them try to open up other subjects. If he can allow those pioneers to open up new subjects, it will be considered that he, Cao, has made a contribution to the online literature industry.

Squinting at the blank draft paper in front of him, Cao Sheng's mind flashed through topics.

There are online games, post-apocalyptic wasteland, spiritual revival, historical literature about the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, military literature about the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China that can definitely be written, and science fiction mechas...

and many more.

He even thought of Fang Xiang's "Card Player".

I also thought of Shen Ji’s martial arts text – The Legend of Dragons and Snakes.

And the masterpiece "Yang Shen" which won the monthly ticket championship for eight consecutive years.

Many of these topics require a lot of preparation before they can be written well.

He really wanted to write Shen Ji's "The Legend of Dragons and Snakes". He used to like this kind of martial arts literature very much and it often made him excited. If he wrote this kind of literature well, he would definitely be able to accumulate a group of die-hard fans.

but……

Reason told him that he should write about topics that appeared earlier first.

The "Dragon and Snake Romance" should have appeared in the past few years, so there is no need to rush to write it.

As for other themes, some of them appeared quickly at the beginning of the rise of online literature.

For example: fantasy, science fiction, online games, etc.

If he doesn't hurry up and start working on these topics, they will soon be discovered by others.

For example, fantasy and magic. Influenced by magic works such as "Harry Potter", the theme of fantasy and magic quickly appeared at the beginning of online literature.

In the first few years after the birth of online literature, I loved to learn from everywhere.

The fantasy and magic genres are inspired by magic stories from Europe and the United States, while the fantasy and mecha genres are inspired by comics and movies from Marvel, Hollywood and Japanese countries.

The martial arts heroes and the wandering hero are inspired by martial arts novels, comics and movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The super powers are mainly borrowed from Marvel comics.

and many more.

Cao Sheng had never written a fantasy or magic story before, and he had no interest in writing one.

It's fantasy...

The scope of tolerance is large enough, and there is enough room for development, so he wants to give it a try. Then, some book titles flashed through his mind.

Such as "Fights Break Sphere", "Douluo Dalu", "Sacred Ruins", "Perfect World", "Devil's Law", "Fighter of the Destiny", "Blood of the Beast" and so on.

These are the hits he remembers.

Any one of them could bring him fame and fortune, making him a fortune.

but……

He couldn't take it out.

He is not the original author of these books. Even if he is the original author, what he writes again will definitely be different.

He could only borrow the subject matter and story ideas, and then rely on his own writing skills to write a work that looks somewhat similar but is very different.

He pondered for a long time, and wrote two words on the manuscript paper in front of him: "God's Tomb".

This is the work of Chen Dong from the original time and space.

It can be regarded as Chen Dong's masterpiece.

The author Chen Dong is different from most authors.

His "flowering period" is particularly long.

Other great artists can usually only be popular for a few years, and those who can be popular for more than ten years are rare, but Chen Dong has been popular for more than twenty years.

It started to become a small hit with the early release of "Immortality", and has continued to be popular ever since.

"God's Tomb", "Immortal Realm", "Perfect World", "The Great Ruler", "Sacred Ruins", etc.

Over the past twenty years, the online literature circle has undergone many changes. Many once-popular writers have faded into obscurity, but he remains as popular as ever.

Just outrageous.

This time, Cao Sheng wanted to borrow the title and creativity of his masterpiece.

"Tomb of the Gods"...

The story of an ordinary young man who walked out of the tomb of God.

……

The title of this book, together with the introduction, can make people imagine and arouse their expectations.

I would expect that before this person came out of the tomb, did he find some particularly powerful immortal skills and elixirs in the tomb? Or something else.

With this title and introduction, the book can attract countless readers.

To use the industry terminology used by Cao Sheng before his rebirth, this is called: attracting traffic.

Can the title and introduction of a book attract traffic? It often determines the future and life and death of a book.

A book that attracts a lot of traffic can increase its popularity by giving it any recommendation position. On the contrary, even if you are given the best recommendation position, your data will not increase much, but because your book does not attract a lot of traffic, it will not increase much.

……

However, he could no longer remember the specific content of the book "God's Tomb".

It's really been too much time.

That was the second book Chen Dong wrote after he entered the industry. Cao Sheng read it in the early 2000s. It was an online novel almost twenty years ago. How could he remember the specific plot?
He could only rely on his own imagination to construct the outline of the book.

For example: Which gods are buried in this tomb? What magical skills did these gods leave behind? Or magical weapons?

and also……

What name should the hero be given? How should his past experiences be set?

And what kind of world will he face after he walks out of the God’s Tomb?
There are too many things that need to be set by him.

When the school bell rang at noon, there were not many settings written down in the draft book in front of Cao Sheng.

Only the information of two emperors was written down.

They are: The Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole and The Great Emperor Zhenwu of the North Pole.

In his setting, these two emperors have already fallen.
