Immortal Tea Party 15: Looking at the Final Battle from a Creative Perspective

Immortal Tea Party 15: Looking at the Final Battle from a Creative Perspective. The chapter of the Upside-Down Sea is coming to an end. After being busy for so long, I can finally catch my breath and find time to write a tea party.

Usually, everyone naturally looks at the book from the reader's perspective; today let's change the perspective, and I will take you from the author's perspective, using only the final battle of the Upside-Down Sea as an example, to see how the plot is designed.

Not to mention other complex details, just the four roughest points: Purpose.

Limitations.

Process.

Results.

First, let's talk about "Purpose": The protagonist's trip to the Upside-Down Sea has always had two purposes.

The main purpose, of course, is to facilitate the disappearance of the two major forces, Qianhuan and Miaozhantian, at least one dead and one injured, and the survivors are also greatly weakened, thereby creating a power vacuum on the Shining Gold Plain for a considerable period of time, so as to create a "general trend" favorable to the protagonist.

Just like the famous line in "Let the Bullets Fly," "Without you, it's very important to me."

For the Shining Gold Plain, it is important that there are no Qianhuan and Miaozhantian.

As for the secondary purpose, the Immortal-Demon War in the Upside-Down Sea is likely a preview of the Great Thousandfold World in the future. The protagonist wants to observe the war here, look for opportunities, assess risks, and demonstrate possibilities and correct routes for his future development.

Have the above purposes been achieved? They have. He Lingchuan has already obtained everything he wants, and perhaps even things he didn't want so much, which is what is called the winner takes all.

Let's connect "Limitations" and "Process": Is the protagonist group qualified to compete head-on with ancient True Immortals and the top three Great Heavenly Demons among the Lingxu gods? Can a living person with bare hands dare to stand in front of a mad elephant? This is a huge limitation in strength.

I cannot infinitely elevate the protagonist in a short period of time, because this does not conform to the logic of this article. Therefore, I can only work hard on "reducing the enemy," one is to create a unique battle environment, the "sea of consciousness" where divine power cannot be used; the second is to let the protagonist urge Qianhuan as a mortal, letting the Great True Immortal fulfill the obligations he should have fulfilled but hadn't: to weaken the powerful Great Heavenly Demon to the greatest extent.

Well, you can say that He Lingchuan forced Qianhuan to death and severely injured Miaozhantian. This is the most beautiful means He Lingchuan has shown in the Upside-Down Sea.

To be reasonable, these two experts should have died together.

They should have.

Why didn't they? Usually, the ending of a major event should highlight the protagonist's direct participation, and I also want the protagonist to have appropriate exchanges with the Great Heavenly Demon, so a severely injured Miaozhantian was left behind.

For the protagonist, this is a rare combat experience—Miaozhantian's comeback against the wind is both a lesson and an experience.

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

If they are not put into the battlefield, how can there be a result?

So there was Miaozhantian's serious injury, comeback, and slaughter.

Readers read books for passion, romance, and a sense of refreshment.

Authors write articles thinking about design, balance, and trade-offs.

But at this time, some book friends really lost their patience, they were anxious to count down every moment, struggling every day about when it would be finished. I don't know why they are so obsessed with the result, but they really are.

If you want the result, then give it to you. Let's change the way of writing and give the result first.

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

In my opinion, the relationship between author and reader is not one of confrontation. When contradictions appear, try to solve them with technical means.

This is neither cowardice nor compromise. Those who speak rudely, are sarcastic, or stir up trouble, we have already banned and deleted.

We changed to giving the result first for those book friends who didn't curse, weren't sarcastic, didn't use foul language to greet the author's family, had manners and quality, but were indeed anxious to see the result. I will try my best to understand and accommodate.

In fact, the main body and key parts of the Upside-Down Sea battle basically ended after Qianhuan blew himself up, He Lingchuan only did the finishing work, whether the battle time was long or short, Miaozhantian's fate would not change.

What is the only thing simplified here? It is the change and sublimation of Xiao Wencheng's character.

In fact, this was already foreshadowed in the early stage, leaving space for Xiao's change. Originally, I would have used more space in this battle to further guide his self-sacrifice and render the character's halo. But after the modification, it was decided to use the side-writing and post-positioning method to express it, and you will see it in the subsequent chapters. And Xiao Wencheng's actions are related to the subsequent Xin Yi and He Lingchuan's future change in view of immortals.

The Battle of the Upside-Down Sea is the big climax of this volume, and the curtain call of Qianhuan and Miaozhantian is the starting point for the protagonist to truly set sail.

The layout He Lingchuan laid out on the Shining Gold Plain is finally about to be harvested; the lines 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 many concepts in the creation of the book "After the Immortals Disappear."
