Chapter 304: May Summary

May Summary

May Summary

Dear readers, as stated at the beginning of May, the minimum monthly update target was 250,000 words.

Ignoring the backlog for now, last month's total update was 251,700 words, meeting the minimum target.

PS: This is backed by screenshots I posted in the group yesterday—friends who posted images in the group, please leave a comment to confirm this!

Now, let's talk about the backlog.

Last month, I only met the minimum update target, so the 90,000-word backlog remains completely untouched—this was quite poor, but I'll keep working harder going forward.

The monthly votes you cast in May were still very generous—probably over five thousand votes. I originally said no extra updates for votes, but I still feel a bit guilty.

However, I already announced beforehand that monthly votes in May wouldn't trigger extra updates.

Next, let me explain.

I've recently fallen in love—my first romance after thirty years of being single—so I'm naturally going to invest some effort into it.

But you've all supported me consistently, so I won't slack off too much on updates.

May had 31 days, with a minimum update of 250,000 words;

so for June, with 30 days, I'll set the minimum update target at 250,000 words too—I'll strive to achieve it!

As for the backlog, I can't guarantee anything, but I'll try my best to catch up whenever possible.

As for…

Previously, for every additional 500 monthly votes beyond 2,000, I added 10,000 extra words.

You've asked me to take it easy.

This time, I'll adjust it: for every additional 1,000 monthly votes beyond 2,000, I'll add 10,000 extra words!

Even though I may never fully clear the backlog before the novel ends, I'll definitely try my hardest.

Regarding reward updates: one patron still triggers three extra updates totaling 15,000 words, but I may have to repay them slowly—especially the reward from reader "Haibian de Sha," which I still haven't made up for, and I feel quite guilty about it—I'll keep pushing forward.

……

Next, some minor updates: 1: I'll keep writing today, but I probably won't finish—tomorrow I have things to do and need to sleep early, but I'll try my best to deliver two updates tomorrow.

Honestly, the next few chapters are harder to write, because I need to show how the human race has changed over these hundred billion eons through countless small events—it's exhausting, much less smooth than writing battles directly.

But these elements are one of the novel's key strengths, so even if it's hard, I'll push through—please give me some time.

2: My thanks to you all.

Many readers have asked if I'm a full-time writer—I'm not, but my job isn't very busy and I have some freedom, so I still have plenty of time.

Thanks to your support, this novel has performed well, and my income is decent—even surpassing my previous job significantly, improving my financial situation considerably, which gives me a big advantage in matchmaking—hahaha!

So don't worry that dating will seriously delay my writing—after all, financial stability still matters a lot.

3: Regarding the appearances of Kedi, Luo Feng, and others.

Many readers are waiting for Kedi or Luo Feng.

In fact, there's still a long time to go, because Luo Feng's growth rate is simply too fast—if the protagonist doesn't reach considerable strength before Luo Feng appears, he can't remain ahead afterward; if he forcibly stays ahead, it would violate the novel's logic.

As for Kedi, I wonder if you've noticed: Kedi is tens of millions of years older than Zhen Yan. Zhen Yan and Yan Zhu Wang are from the same era, but Yan Zhu Wang had inferior talent, so when Zhen Yan just began cultivation, Yan Zhu Wang had likely already cultivated for millions of years.

Thus, Shihuo, then Kedi appearing hundreds of millions of years later, then Zhen Yan appearing tens of millions of years after that…

The original text repeatedly mentions that Zhen Yan Wang cultivated for hundreds of millions of years—this might be figurative, but since Kedi is the youngest disciple of Chaos, I'll treat it as literal.

And hundreds of millions of years? That's merely one hundred million eons—in Lu Qingshan's eyes, it's no different from the time until Luo Feng's appearance.

As for the timeline you've mentioned…

The Chaos City Master once told Luo Feng that he was in the early stage of the Original Universe. After Luo Feng's rise, there were two major time flows: hundreds of millions of eons of human development, emergence of many True Gods, destruction of the Jie Beast, then sixty trillion eons later, the universe's destruction. So Luo Feng's appearance should be around twenty trillion eons. As for how far Lu Qingshan is from that time now, you can guess.

Also, I keep seeing people say Lord Youhou is the youngest Cosmic Master in the human race—but the original text likely refers only to the Virtual Universe Corporation lineage. If you find new evidence, please leave a comment in the group and @ me directly!
