Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 127: The Tomb of Gods

a few days later.

Huang Qingya came to Cao Sheng and happily told him that her book "The Little Woman in the Sword Controlling Sect" had signed a contract with Shuopin, and the remuneration was 3,000 per episode.

She cooked dinner herself that day and prepared a delicious meal for Cao Sheng.

After dinner, when they were getting intimate, she was more proactive than usual, and it was obvious that she wanted to reward Cao Sheng.

……

For the next half month, Cao Sheng's life was generally peaceful, and finally no other publishing houses came to contact him.

I just receive emails from Lin Baohui every now and then.

In the email, Lin Baohui shared with him what she was busy with recently and her daily life. In every email, she would ask him what he was doing recently and whether he had encountered anything interesting.
Cao Sheng usually replies with a few words.

Not for anything else, just because she is beautiful enough.

It feels like I’m chatting privately with a female fan of the book from the original time and space.

After more than half a month, he finally finished writing the last chapter of "I Want to Become an Immortal".

When he finished writing the book at the end of the chapter, he couldn't help feeling a little lost.

This feeling is a bit like working for a long time and suddenly it ends. After receiving today’s salary, you don’t need to come tomorrow.

I feel relieved, reluctant, and a little confused.

He had experienced this feeling many times before.

So, this time he adjusted his mindset quickly. The next day was Saturday, and he didn't go anywhere the whole day except for his morning jog.

Right in front of the computer, I tried to write the beginning of "God's Tomb".

The outline and detailed outline had been prepared long ago, but it was still difficult for him to write the beginning.

The difficulty lies in how to write in a way that satisfies yourself and makes most readers interested in reading on.

In the morning, he wrote the first chapter.

After writing it, I reviewed the content of this chapter again and again, and suddenly I felt dissatisfied. I felt that the angle of the opening was not appropriate. The first few male characters that appeared could easily make readers mistakenly believe that one of them was the male protagonist.

However, these male characters are not charming enough, which may make many readers lose interest in reading.

In the afternoon, he rewrote the first chapter from a different perspective.

This time he started writing directly from the male protagonist. At the beginning, the male protagonist was lying quietly among the ruins, appearing as a "dead body".

The perspective then shifts to a few young people exploring the tomb.

These young people, both men and women, found out from ancient books that there was an emperor's tomb here, so they formed a group to come here to rob the tomb, hoping to find some good treasures.

However, they didn't know that the emperor's tomb they were looking for was built on top of a god's tomb.

The first plot conceived by Cao Sheng was that this expedition team, after entering the emperor's tomb, accidentally discovered the tomb of the gods below.

But no matter how hard they tried, they could not break the protective formation of the tomb of the gods below.

But it awakened the male protagonist who had been sleeping in the God's Tomb for ten thousand years.

This tomb of gods is not actually a tomb. It is just like a tomb of gods because too many gods died in the formation, and the formation has been guarding it for ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years ago, this was a temple.

Back then, the male protagonist was just a guard in this temple, and there were 100,000 guards like him in this temple.

A great war ten thousand years ago affected all the gods in heaven and on earth.

And this temple is the final battlefield.

The gods and the extraterritorial demons have their final battle here.

However, the extraterritorial demons were endless and the gods were unable to defeat them. In the end, all the gods died in battle here. But the seemingly endless extraterritorial demons suddenly lost their reinforcements before the gods died. When the last god was seriously injured and died, all the extraterritorial demons in this formation had been killed.

These are the memories that exist in the protagonist’s mind.

Ten thousand years ago, he was a guard with not very high cultivation. The reason he did not die in that battle was that when he was seriously injured and dying, he rushed into the alchemy room of the temple and swallowed several gourds of healing pills in one breath.

Hoping to save his life.

His life was in danger at the time, so he didn't look at the names of the healing pills carefully. He just poured them into his mouth thinking they were for healing.

After I finished taking those pills, I gradually realized that something was wrong.

Although the wounds on his body healed quickly, the sleepiness in his mind became more and more intense, and soon he fell into a deep sleep and could not wake up.

When he woke up again, it was already ten thousand years later.

The entire tomb was dead silent and devastated.

Only the occasional vibrations from the formation made the divine tomb in his eyes seem to have some movement.

……

After rewriting the first chapter in the afternoon, Cao Sheng reviewed it again and again in the evening. He gradually became dissatisfied and rewrote the beginning.

This time, he no longer focused on the expedition team.

After using one or two hundred words to describe the scene inside the "God's Tomb" at the beginning, the perspective quickly switches to the male protagonist.

The male protagonist who just appeared still looked like a dead body. However, he was different from other corpses, which were only skeletons, but those gods were still alive after death.

But the hero clearly doesn’t look like a god, yet he still seems to be alive.

Moreover, as the protective formation of the God's Tomb vibrated from time to time, the gods did not move, but the male protagonist slowly opened his eyes.

This time, Cao Sheng keeps his focus on the male protagonist.

It describes in detail the whole process of the male protagonist's gradual recovery from a "dead body".

In this process, the protagonist Chu Yun's revived memories are also written out, so that readers can understand the great war that took place ten thousand years ago while reading this plot, and the protagonist's identity is also explained.

Of course, what is presented in the first chapter is just some superficial information.

The protagonist Chu Yun has very limited knowledge of the truth about the war that took place ten thousand years ago due to his identity at that time. The information that readers learn from his memory is naturally limited and may not be accurate.

In addition, in this chapter, Cao Sheng laid the biggest foreshadowing of the book.

——All the memories of the hero Chu Yun were actually implanted by someone. Ten thousand years ago, he was not an ordinary temple guard. The reason he was able to survive the war was not because he swallowed a few gourds of elixirs when he was seriously injured and dying. His real identity was the youngest son of Emperor Gou Chen. The memories that existed in his mind when he woke up were just implanted by Emperor Gou Chen before his death, in the hope that when he wakes up in the future, he will not be too sad and can live a good life as an ordinary practitioner.

……

This is how Cao Sheng set the identity of the male protagonist.

There are two considerations.

The first consideration is: he hopes that the seemingly ordinary identity of the male protagonist can give readers a better sense of substitution. After all, most readers are ordinary people. Ordinary people and ordinary guards will be more likely to resonate, and it will be easier for readers to substitute themselves into the identity of the male protagonist.

The second consideration is: he hopes that when the protagonist's true identity is revealed, it will bring shock and emotion to readers.

Everyone was shocked that the male protagonist, who had been ordinary for most of the book, actually had such a prominent identity.

I was moved by the love that Emperor Gou Chen had for his son before his death.

At that moment, Emperor Gou Chen seemed to be just an ordinary father. He not only hoped that his son could survive, but also hoped that after waking up, he would not be too sad and could live an ordinary life. For this reason, he would rather let his son never remember him as his biological father after waking up, and deliberately chose to cover his son's real memory with a false memory.

……

After reviewing the first chapter he wrote several times, Cao Sheng finally felt satisfied.

But I still don’t feel reassured.

Then that night, he deliberately didn't write the second chapter and took a shower and went to bed early.

When he woke up the next morning, went out for a run and had breakfast, he recalled the beginning of the article he had written last night, and wondered over and over again if there was anything wrong with writing it this way.

When he returned to his residence, he took the freshly brewed tea to the study on the second floor, turned on the computer, and then opened the beginning of the last article he wrote last night.

This was a habit he had developed long ago.

It is always difficult to tell whether the beginning of an article is well written when it is just finished.

Because when I was writing, I wrote it because I thought it was good and there was nothing wrong with it. In the first few hours after I finished writing, it was difficult to examine it from the reader's perspective.

But if you wait until the next day to review it, you can analyze it from the reader's perspective.

After reviewing it several times this time, he still felt that there was no problem with the opening and was quite satisfied with it.

Then, he began to build up his emotions and write the second and third chapters.

Once you have written the first chapter, it will be much easier to write the subsequent chapters because the first chapter has already set the tone and style of the book.

For the subsequent plot, he can follow the outline and detailed outline.

No need to spend a lot of time figuring out the main storyline.

By the beginning of May, "God's Tomb" had more than 5 words of manuscripts in stock.

At this time, the last two episodes of "I Want to Become an Immortal" finally met the readers in Taiwan.

As these two episodes appeared in bookstores of all sizes, book fans flocked to the bookstores to buy them as they did in the past. Many of them had been waiting impatiently for many days.

Ayong is one of the many book fans.

That evening, after queuing up to buy the latest two episodes of "I Want to Become an Immortal", he ran back home without stopping and went straight into his room.

Usually this time is when he does his homework.

But every month on the night when he bought "I Shall Become a Fairy", he would put aside all his homework. No matter if he could not hand in his homework the next day or would be punished by the teacher to stand in the corner or have his hands slapped, he would finish reading the book he had just bought first.

The two episodes of "I Want to Become an Immortal" only have 13 words.

It takes a long time for Cao Sheng to write.

But when he reads, he can finish it very quickly.

At around 11 o'clock that evening, Ayong finished watching both episodes.

When he saw the three words "The whole book is finished" in brackets, he felt similar to Cao Sheng when he wrote these three words, feeling lost.

He feels that there is still a lot of room for development in this book, and he is willing to follow it even if it is written for another year.

But the author chose to end it here.

——Is it because of poor sales? No way! So many people line up to buy this book every month, how can sales be poor? It must be that the publisher paid the author too little! That must be the case!
When these thoughts flashed through his mind, he was surprised to find that below the three words "Complete Book", there was actually a preview of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book.

"At the same time next month, Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new masterpiece "God's Tomb" will be on sale, so stay tuned!"
