After the immortal disappeared

The chapter of Upside Down Sea is about to end. After working for so long, I can finally take a breath and take time to write a tea party.

Usually, everyone naturally reads books from the perspective of readers; today, let's change the perspective. I will take you from the author's perspective, taking the last battle of Upside Down Sea as an example to see how the plot is designed.

I won't mention other complicated details, just the four most rough points:

Purpose.

Restriction.

Process.

Result.

Let's talk about "Purpose" first: The protagonist's trip to Upside Down Sea has always had two purposes.

The main purpose, of course, is to promote the disappearance of the two major forces of Qianhuan and Miaozhantian. At least one will die and one will be injured, and the survivors will be greatly weakened, so as to create a power vacuum on the Shining Gold Plain for a long time, so as to create a "trend" that is beneficial to the protagonist.

Just like the famous line in "Let the Bullets Fly", "It's important to me without you".

For the Shining Gold Plain, it's not important to have Qianhuan and Miaozhantian.

As for the secondary purpose, the battle between immortals and demons in the Upside Down Sea is likely to be a preview of the future world. The protagonist should observe the war, find opportunities, assess risks, and prove the possibility and correct the route for his future development.

Have the above goals been achieved?

Achieved. He Lingchuan has already got everything he wants, and he may have also got things he doesn't want so much, which is the so-called winner takes all.

Let's put "limitation" and "process" together:

Are the protagonists qualified to compete head-on with the ancient true immortals and the top three great demons among the gods of Lingxu?

Do living people with bare hands dare to stand in front of the mad elephant?

This is a huge limitation on strength.

I can't make infinite elevation of the protagonist in a short period of time, because it doesn't conform to the logic of this article. Therefore, I can only work hard on "reducing the enemy". First, create a unique combat environment, and can't use the "sea of ​​consciousness" of divine power; second, let the protagonist urge Qianhuan as a mortal, and let the great true immortal fulfill his obligations that he should have fulfilled but didn't fulfill before: to weaken the powerful great demon to the greatest extent.

Well, you can say that He Lingchuan forced Qianhuan to death and severely damaged Miaozhantian. This is the most beautiful method that He Lingchuan showed in the Upside-Down Sea.

To be honest, these two masters should have died together.

Should have.

Why didn't they?

Generally speaking, the ending of a major event should highlight the direct participation of the protagonist, and I also want the protagonist and the Great Demon to have a proper fight, so I left a severely injured Miao Zhantian.

For the protagonist, this is a rare combat experience - Miao Zhantian's comeback against the wind is both a lesson and experience.

At this point, as an author, there are still two characters that must be dealt with in the battle: Xiao Wencheng and the Blood Demon.

How can we get a result without putting them on the battlefield?

So there are Miao Zhantian's serious injuries, comebacks and killings.

Readers read books for passion, romance, and excitement.

When the author writes, he thinks about design, balance, and trade-offs.

But at this time, some book friends really have no patience. They are anxious to count down every moment, and they are entangled every day when they can finish the fight. I don't know why they are so obsessed with the result, but they do.

If you want the result, then give it. Let's change the way we write and publish the results first.

It's just the difference between being three in the morning and four in the evening, and being four in the morning and three in the evening.

In my opinion, the relationship between the author and the reader is not a confrontational one. When conflicts arise, they should be resolved by technical means as much as possible.

This is neither cowardice nor compromise. We have already banned and deleted those who are rude, sarcastic, and messy.

We changed to publish the results first for those book friends who are well-mannered and have good qualities, but are really anxious to see the results, without cursing, sarcastic, or cursing the author's family. I will try to understand and tolerate as much as possible.

In fact, the main body and key parts of the Upside-Down Sea War were basically over as early as after Qianhuan's self-explosion. He Lingchuan only did the finishing work. Whether the battle was long or short, Miao Zhantian's fate would not change.

What is the only thing that is briefly mentioned here? It is the transformation and sublimation of Xiao Wencheng's character.

In fact, this was already buried in the early stage, leaving room for Xiao's transformation. Originally, I would have used a little more space in this battle to further guide his self-sacrifice and exaggerate the character's halo. But after the revision, I decided to express it in a post-profile way, which you will see in the subsequent chapters. And Xiao Wencheng's actions are related to the subsequent Xin Yi and He Lingchuan's future changes in their views on immortals.

The Battle of the Upside-Down Sea is the climax of this volume. The end of Qianhuan and Miaozhantian is the starting point for the protagonist to really set sail.

The game that He Lingchuan set up in the Shining Gold Plain is finally going to pay off; the line we buried can finally be tightened.

The harvest season is coming. But before that, I will start a series of tea parties to share with book friends the many ideas of the book "After the Disappearance of the Immortal".
