Volume Four: Heroic Deeds, Summary and Reflections
his sword in the Tianfu Secret Realm. He happened to have nothing in his hand, and besides, the Lian family of Chiyang County was known for their skill in forging weapons.So, without hesitation, he d...The fourth volume is one I'm very satisfied with.
Throughout history, there have been many heroes. Who among them is not a man of courage
When I first wrote this poem, I couldn't picture a suitable scene in my mind. None of the visuals I had seen in movies or other works of art felt like a perfect match.
When I began to conceive the entire fourth volume of Red Heart Sky, and chose to name it "Heroes Rising," I wanted to depict this scene.
Thus, Yin Guan stepped the rugged path into a path to heaven, achieving the manifestation of a god before the cold face of Capturing God Mountain.
This is a test.
Having seen the Pure Land Flower, one's path to Buddhahood in this lifetime is impossible.
With a sword strike forward, I cleave through the path of life and death. Who in this world dares to ask me to turn back
Zhang Linchuan founded Wusheng Dao, Miaoyu integrated the three scents of Qiang Xiang Lou.
Thus, there was Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui's decades of scheming, a nation-wide mobilization for war. Du Yuhou planted his flag at Suolong Pass, returning the humiliation of a hundred years.
For a hundred years, Han Xu endured in silence. He wished for the real person to die, seizing power and reforming the government, becoming the only representative of the Mo School in the mortal world.
Lin Zhengren, in an attempt to secure his future by destroying his own family, ended up plotting against me alone.
I am indebted to Zhu Wei for his kindness in training me, but I will fight to the death to repay the city's revenge against his treason.
There was also Dong Aili fighting to the death...

Li Jianqiu's family was in great danger because of the war, but Fu Baosong remained steadfast both in his person and in his principles.
Ye Xiaohua's heart is set on Lingxiao, and Song Hengjiang dedicates his life to his clan and blood relatives.
There is the White Bone Venerable God, who plays a game every few centuries. He does not contend against his opponents, but against the entire mortal world.
There was Zhuang Chengqian, who deceived gods and ghosts, manipulating all the heroes of the world. He split Yong, united Jing, toyed with Qin, causing the Qingjiang water tribe to be loyal to him with their lives, using Bai Gu Dao, and then destroying Bai Gu Dao, utilizing deities to expel deities... His story was too captivating, but due to limited space, it cannot be fully told.
Of course, there's also our Jiang Wang, who never gives up.
Falling into despair again and again, standing up once more, being knocked down time and time again, yet drawing the sword again each time.
Facing the undefeated warlord, the founding hero, facing such a terrifying opponent.
With his calmness, genius, steadfastness, and tenacity, he shattered all impossibilities. His heart remained true, and with one sword stroke, he struck down the soul.

Thus, this is the demeanor of a hero.
There is the world under heaven, encompassing all ages past and present.
At the end, I challenged myself with a new writing difficulty.
I want to write a state of utter despair through a series of reversals, in the constant back and forth between hope and hopelessness.
Write to the point where even a reader with God's perspective can't see hope or find a solution. Only then can we truly see Jiang Wang as a hero.

Only when the sea is vast and turbulent can one truly see the heroic spirit.
>
Among heroes, the greatest hero stands out; among valiant men, the most valiant reigns supreme!
But this constant back and forth, it's easy to say, but hard to write!
The conclusion needs to constantly subvert expectations, being both surprising and logical. It should tie up previous plot points, reveal the historical context of the entire Kingdom of Zhuang, flesh out the characters, and be written brilliantly.
The difficulty lies in the fact that these reversals only exist between Zhuang Chengqian and Jiang Wang, which means I need to lay enough foreshadowing beforehand to create room for maneuver later. At the same time, these reversals themselves are part of Zhuang Chengqian's scheme. Zhuang Chengqian's scheme is intertwined with Bai Gu Zun Shen's scheme, forcing Jiang Wang to constantly walk on the edge of life and death, grasping at that imperceptible glimmer of hope...
There needs to be enough tension, enough pressure, it has to be logical, it needs to surprise people and make them suddenly understand... It should leave people feeling restless and also exhilarated.
Flipping it around isn't difficult for me. The hard part is balancing it all, the difficulty lies in doing everything to the best of my ability.
Every single word is made with heart and soul.
At the conclusion, I also received very enthusiastic feedback.
I remember when I discussed with the readers in the reader group, seeing that at the time, that chapter had over 500 subscriptions, but over 100 comments, not a single negative review, all rave reviews.
Many readers who have learned about diving are now praising me for the first time.

At this rate, it can be said that almost all readers were moved by this conclusion.
This is enough. Writing is about finding like-minded people, my efforts have not been in vain.
The most asked question from readers so far is: "There aren't enough updates."
But I've been writing every day. I write one chapter in the morning, one in the afternoon, and revise two chapters at night. If I have to go out and do something that day, I have to stay up late at night.
>
I'm not writing this way for the first time, I've been writing like this for a year. If you want more, I certainly can't guarantee the current quality. Like something like Haujie's conclusion, if you rush it, it will get out of control. Intensive plot lines are intertwined in a small space, and one moment of distraction is a mess. It just collapsed.
If I can write more while ensuring quality, why wouldn't I I can earn some money to supplement my living. After all, online serialization is paid by the word, not by quality.
If there is any regret about this volume,

> It's probably just Han Xu.
The Desolation of the Nine Dragons is actually a chapter that I personally enjoy very much. Although it's not as profound in my heart as the rainy night in Xin'an City, it's also a highly visual scene.
I didn't expect so many readers to distrust me. To that end, I chose to gloss over the ending of that plot, and it didn't reach its most complete and polished state.
But it's also good.
That's it then, life is bound to have regrets.
People, literature, love, and ideals are all the same.
> A year has passed since "Chixin Xuntian" began. At first, I boasted and said that I would prepare for two years without making a penny, just to finish writing this book well.
Back then, I had savings, two physical books were handed over to the editor, the script was going to be made into a movie, and I had just won an award because I was unhappy with the shady dealings behind it, so I rejected it myself. I was arrogant and thought that talent alone was enough.
>
I didn't expect to be dragged into a controversy by black fans as soon as the book was released. Then the pandemic hit, and the movie was canceled. The physical book's ISBN is still stuck...
How I got to this point, I don't know.
Perhaps, in its own way, it's healing me.
Regardless of how many worries there are in the outside world, when I enter this world, I am immersed in the joys and sorrows, separations and reunions of each character within it. I forget all else and become completely absorbed.
In the process of creation, I have already received the highest praise and supreme joy.

Therefore, there is nothing more to be said.

I've done the best I could. The rest is up to the readers, and time itself.
I believe that works built with passion will not fade and can withstand the test of time.
I don't want to write something that just wastes your time, something you can skim through in a few seconds. As I said in the preface to Chapter 1 —
I hope this book can give you the courage to face life, strength when you are in trouble, direction when you are lost, and at the very least, companionship when you are lonely.
I hope that in ten, twenty years, it will still be worth your reading. Many years from now, you will come back to read this book again, like reviewing precious memories.
> May we all love life and pursue our dreams.
From the beginning, to the end.
The next volume is titled "On the Road Difficult."
Originally, it was supposed to be called "Divergent Path," corresponding to the newly acquired divine ability and signifying a new beginning. But it could easily lead to misunderstandings, making it seem like our Jiang Wang was going to turn evil. So in the end, we changed it to "A Difficult Journey."

Jiang Wang's journey has not been easy, and this book's journey to its present state has also been arduous.
But there are always people supporting me, and I always hold onto hope.
I have written, "The road is difficult to travel, the path is hard to tread, this body of mine only seeks higher ground."
This volume is named after Li Bai's poem: "The Road is Hard, The Road is Hard, Many Paths Lie Before Me, Which One Should I Choose When the Wind Breaks the Waves, There Will Be a Time, Straight Through the Clouds and Sail Across the Sea!"
Though his life was fraught with hardship, he did not diminish the grace and elegance of a poet immortal.
Life is full of difficulties, but alas, I am born with such talents!
Let us encourage each other.
