Excessive ferocity due to caution

To be honest, I doubt that those who have been following the book closely will be satisfied with this ending.

You must want a more satisfying ending.

But no matter how you write it, there will always be some regrets.

I chose to end it at this point because I didn't want the story to end there.

As the article says, what I prefer to see is not the prince and princess living happily ever after, but rather them still busy with the trivialities of life.

In other words, life is not over yet, and the story is not over yet.

The person is still on the road.

In my mind, I imagine that it will continue to function normally even after I leave this world.

When I look back from time to time—

Zhao Yi is still working hard to overthrow the dominant personality.

Wu Liang remains as reliable as ever.

Yunfang is still as sentimental as ever. It's possible that after the complete destruction of the Skull Church, she might occasionally visit Xuanxuan's grave in Guxuan Town with flowers.

Meanwhile, Ouyang Feng will continue his once-frenzied research within the Jie Sect, until one day, perhaps in a fleeting moment, he will suddenly see a familiar light in the eyes of the assistant robot he created…

This book has too many regrets.

There was a struggling writer who, with a rough outline that was only enough for 20 words, stubbornly wrote two million words...

I am very grateful for the continued support of my fellow book lovers.

Finally, let me briefly summarize the timeline for you.

There are three timelines, strung together. The earliest era is the Ancient Era, which is the real world we live in now. After that, one day, spiritual energy suddenly revived, and people could gain power through killing.

And so, terror ensued.

For everyone, they were all on an absolutely equal starting line.

That is, the absolute fairness that the vast majority of people want.

But is this kind of absolute fairness really a good thing?

The suppressed evil within human nature is no longer restrained.

The order that humanity had created over thousands of years crumbled in an instant.

From Ye Lai's perspective, I absolutely do not believe that absolute fairness is a good thing for kind people.

This will embolden evildoers.

In order for people of all classes to achieve happiness, class and fairness must be balanced as much as possible.

If it's just about shearing sheep, it's not a big deal for the sheep. If it can be exchanged for a lot of fresh grass, why not?

However, if this balance is tilted too far off, it will lead to the collapse of order.

When those in power exploit others excessively, the people at the bottom will suffer greatly.

However, excessively granting fairness to a large number of people in the lower classes, thus freeing them from the constraints of rules, will allow those with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation and create chaos.

Human nature is diverse, and most people do not do evil, not because they do not want to, but because they do not have the opportunity.

Those who constantly criticize capital online are perhaps the ones who most want to become the next capitalists.

This is the core idea that this book wants to express—humanity and balance.

Let's return to the ancient era.

After the resurgence of the Spiritual Age, people gained immense power after experiencing countless killings.

This force made them dissatisfied with the status quo.

Ambition drove this group to want to become figures in mythology.

Thus, a holy war began.

Different civilizations collided.

They've been fighting for many years.

The Ancient Era has ended, and the Chaotic Era has begun.

Having lost the support of civilization and the foundation of history, the ancient people, though naturally powerful due to the lingering influence of the spiritual era of the ancient primordial age, were extremely fragile inside. That is why they constantly prayed to gods and Buddhas to seek solace in their hearts.

Ladies and gentlemen, please don't think this is an absurd thing.

In feudal society, many wealthy people, landowners, high-ranking officials, and even emperors were like this.

Instead of asking about the common people, they ask about ghosts and gods.

Zhao Yi's main personality was born in the Chaotic Era, becoming one of the few awakened individuals in that era.

In his pursuit of power, he became aware of the problems that had arisen in this era, and learned about the events of the Ancient Era and their impact on subsequent eras.

After careful consideration, the dominant personality decided to change everything.

Therefore, he advanced the iterative renewal of this era by destroying the Tower of the Imprisoning Gods (which he built himself to imprison the karma of the gods, whose bones were used to forge the Throne of Eternity and the Body of Chaos, while their spirits were worshipped by the old people in various places and were not destroyed under the influence of the flame of faith), and by killing himself.

Thus, the chaotic era ended, and the era in which the protagonist lived began.

The dominant personality has set up a trap.

He wanted to use Zhao Yi's identity to return to the new era, and then promote the era's renewal in the same way.

This process repeated itself for hundreds and thousands of generations, until the influence of the Ancient Era's spiritual energy period on subsequent eras became almost negligible.

However, Tang Jiujiu believed that his approach was unacceptable.

So he volunteered to help the main personality repair the Hell Game (a game used to allow Zhao Yi to quickly gain power), and he tampered with it (the movie, the instance), conveying his own thoughts to Zhao Yi and letting Zhao Yi make a choice.

Tang 99 knew he couldn't persuade or defeat the main personality, which is why he needed Zhao Yi's help.

And Zhao Yi did not disappoint him.

As for some Easter eggs, such as the Immortal Road and the Holy Mountain, these two places are remnants of the Chaotic Era. People from the previous era could only survive for a long time in these two places.

That was originally intended to be the last map to be explored, but actually, it would have been just right for the story to end there.

Of course, Ye also had many ulterior motives.

For example, the struggle for the capital.

Today, some people live in a world where information is exploding because of Facebook, but they don't realize that Facebook is also controlled by people. Countless online trolls are constantly stirring up trouble and trying to create internal strife in certain places.

Young people have less exposure to such things, making them more susceptible to brainwashing.

The war of public opinion is terrifying.

There was once a third-world military power on a planet that was dismantled by the United States through propaganda warfare with almost no casualties, turning it into a virus testing base, where women became backup wombs.

Class antagonism, gender antagonism, virus release, species invasion, creating panic...

The bad things that this lighthouse has done are too numerous to list.

We young people must keep our eyes open and never become weapons in the hands of bad people!

Finally, regarding the next book, it will still be published on Tomato Open, under the same author account.

By mid-March at the latest.

The theme is still thriller, but it's completely different from this book. I want to try a new style. Next time we meet, I'll definitely bring you a better story!

Finally, there's a little bonus post, which will also be published today.
