Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 60 A sudden enlightenment, goodbye to the martial world.

The news of Chen Yang's appearance on SkyNet quickly spread throughout the industry.

It wasn't just the authors on SkyNet who were excited.

Other authors in the circle also became excited.

This also includes some well-known authors.

The sharing hasn't started yet.

A series of posts appeared in a frenzy.

"Looking forward to the classes at Bu Yang University."

"Has it started yet? Has it started yet? I've been waiting so long."

"Tomorrow, let's wait a bit longer. Prepare your questions. I heard that Bu Yangda will stay longer this time."

"Really? Can he personally answer and guide us?"

"It depends on your luck, but you'll definitely have a chance."

"Damn, I need to get ready."

This is different from Chen Yang's previous interview at Sanjiang Pavilion.

The previous interview with Sanjiang Pavilion was conducted by Qidian.com.

The interviews on Qidian (a Chinese online learning platform) revealed that most of its users were readers, but some were authors as well.

But SkyNet is basically full of authors.

This can be considered an interview within the online literature community, or rather, a writing sharing session.

Similar to the Sanjiang Pavilion interview, SkyNet also conducted a written interview.

Xiao Chao is quite familiar with Chen Yang, and is also a moderator on SkyNet.

Therefore, Xiao Chao will be the host this time.

At 2 PM on Sunday afternoon, Chen Yang was already sitting in the internet cafe.

He types quite fast and is quite comfortable with interviews and such.

"Welcome everyone to SkyNet. We won't go into the formalities. SkyNet isn't a well-known media outlet or a bookstore; we're more of a niche website. Now, let's welcome the unassuming one."

Chen Yang went online and greeted everyone: "Hello everyone, Xiao Chao is right, we're all authors, we're all on the same side, so there's no need for formalities. I used to write books online, just like everyone else. I felt lost when the data wasn't good, and I felt frustrated when I had writer's block. Of course, I also complained, especially when I saw others with good data and mine was bad. I would think to myself, 'Damn it, he writes worse than me, so why is his data better than mine...'"

Chen Yang's opening remarks immediately made everyone burst into laughter.

In an instant, the distance between everyone was shortened.

Chen Yang smiled and continued, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Although it was his first time doing such an event on SkyNet, Chen Yang was very approachable.

He doesn't put on airs.

On the contrary, he had a sense of familiarity.

Just like in a support group for new authors, there are a group of authors in front of me.

Perhaps it's thirty-two, it's Dangdang, it's Tiger.

They just have different names.

"I hope Yang Da won't look down on us."

“Absolutely. You’re speaking like family. I’m your family, so please take good care of me in the future.”

"Haha, upstairs, you're such a clever guy."

The authors excitedly flooded the public channel with comments.

Xiao Chao nodded and began his first question: "First of all, congratulations on your new book, *The Great World*. The title sounds very grand. Moreover, the first few chapters of your new book are truly breathtaking; you've created an incredibly authentic Eastern fantasy world for us. However, we do have a question: how did you come up with such a world?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "Actually, the concept of Eastern fantasy wasn't proposed by me. Some authors had mentioned it before. Including, many authors have been working towards this direction. So, we can see that there are quite a few fantasy works that blend Chinese and Western elements now, which is the result of everyone working together in this direction."

"However, the fusion of Chinese and Western elements still retains many Western influences. Many readers prefer a purely Eastern fantasy world. So, I wanted to create such a world. As for how this world was constructed, it wasn't just me. I've always believed that the development of online literature isn't the result of one person's efforts, but rather the result of a group of authors working together."

Xiao Chao gave Chen Yang a thumbs up: "You're so modest, don't boast."

Chen Yang shook his head: "I'm not being modest, I really think so. I couldn't have written such a work by myself."

This is a fact.

The same applies to many online novels from the previous life.

No one could write a type so completely.

Even if he were to create a new school of thought, he couldn't possibly have imagined everything.

The subsequent improvements were the result of the continuous efforts of generations of authors.

There is another fact.

That is, Chen Yang wasn't writing alone; he was contributing to the work of countless authors. "So, could you tell us what Eastern fantasy is?"

"Well, defining what Eastern fantasy is is actually a rather complex question."

However, Chen Yang had already studied this issue before.

Even past lives.

Countless people have discussed this.

Chen Yang continued, "Eastern fantasy, first of all, is a fantasy work with pure Eastern cultural characteristics. Of course, I know what you mean, Xiao Chao. You probably want me to give a more comprehensive explanation of Eastern fantasy."

"That's absolutely right, not boasting, that's exactly what we mean. Of course, it's not just me, there are many authors too. After your 'The Vast World' was published, many authors were very excited, they also wanted to write Eastern fantasy works like yours. However, people still don't have a very good concept of Eastern fantasy, could you talk to us about this in more detail?"

"Let's keep it simple."

If I make it too complicated, I'm sure everyone will be confused.

Chen Yang continued, "We can simply think of Eastern fantasy as the high-martial-arts world or the super-martial-arts world in martial arts."

"High-level martial arts, super-level martial arts?"

"Correct."

Chen Yang said, "This is relative to low-level martial arts. Take Jin Yong's martial arts novels as an example. You can clearly distinguish between high-level and low-level martial arts in his works. For example, low-level martial arts novels include The Sword Stained with Royal Blood, The Deer and the Cauldron, The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain, etc., while medium-level martial arts novels include the Condor Trilogy. High-level martial arts novels..."

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

In the public chat area, some authors have already posted the name "Tian Long Ba Bu".

"Yes."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "It seems everyone is quite familiar with martial arts novels. 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' is a world of high-level martial arts. Some of the second- or even third-rate masters in it would be considered grandmasters elsewhere. For example, the Sword God in 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils' can unleash sword energy, but in that world, he's only a second-rate master. So, let's imagine what kind of world it would be if it had a large number of high-level martial arts, or even super-martial arts geniuses?"

"He will be 'The Great World'."

Xiao Chao said.

"Hahaha……"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Xiao Chao. My 'The Great Thousand Worlds' is just one type of Eastern fantasy. Just like its name suggests, it contains countless worlds, each of which could be an Eastern fantasy world. If Eastern fantasy is to truly become the 'Great Thousand Worlds' in everyone's eyes in the future, then countless authors should participate in it. And aren't the authors on SkyNet like those family disciples who pursue martial arts? I believe that among us, there will definitely be someone who can leap over the dragon gate."

These words stirred the passion of all the authors.

Countless images flashed through their minds.

In the scene, he travels around the world with Ye Chen, the protagonist of Chen Yang's novel, exploring countless miles of mountains and rivers.

However, their domain is not martial arts.

It's in online articles.

"The vast world, the vast world."

"Brothers, I'm going into seclusion to write. See you in the martial arts world!"

This book may have been written by Chen Yang.

But isn't the vast world that Chen Yang speaks of also the vast world in their hearts?

In the public chat, a netizen said, "Goodbye, Jianghu."

Chen Yang saw it.

He knew how his friend was feeling.

In fact, many new authors are not incapable of writing.

As for why it wasn't written well...

It's just because we didn't break through that barrier.

Just like the epiphany in a novel.

Sometimes a thought arises, and then you understand that thought.

Then everything becomes clear.

This is what is called a sudden enlightenment, and it's the same in online novels.

"Goodbye Jianghu."

In the public chat area, Chen Yang said goodbye to his friend.

he knows.

Someday in the future.

This friend might meet you under a different identity.

Perhaps by then, he would already be a well-known author.

Perhaps he has become a god.
