Chapter 116: The Outline of “God’s Tomb” is Completed, and Ambition Soars
The weather in Huizhou has started to warm up in April. The scent of revival can be seen everywhere, and the flowers, plants and trees on the roadside have sprouted new buds.

The weeping willows by the Xin’an River are already green at first glance, with willow branches several meters long swaying in the wind.

It’s refreshing to look at.

This evening.

Cao Sheng rode his bicycle back from school. Looking at the weeping willows swaying in the wind by the river, the green grass and colorful wild flowers on the river beach, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Back to the residence.

I walked into the kitchen and stewed the old duck that I bought on the way after my morning run this morning.

Instead of staring in the kitchen, he walked into the gym on the first floor.

I took off my coat and started exercising.

Using fitness equipment such as dumbbells and barbells to build muscle is very effective. He only trained for one winter, and his chest muscles, biceps, abdominal muscles, back muscles, etc. have begun to show their outlines.

An incidental effect is that Huang Qingya has been coming to his place much more frequently than before.

Every time they were intimate, she couldn’t let go of the muscles on his body.

This undoubtedly gave him motivation to continue exercising.

But he also pays attention to the “degree”.

He doesn’t want to train his muscles too much, just moderate ones.

After exercising for half an hour and sweating a little, he stopped and took a shower. After coming out of the shower, he made a pot of tea and went to the yard. While drinking tea, he breathed the fresh air outdoors, holding a copy of “The Investiture of the Gods” in his hand.

Recently, he has almost finished the outline and detailed outline of “God’s Tomb”.

It took me several months, and I spent every day in class writing the outline and detailed outline of this new book. I lost countless brain cells, but I finally finished it recently.

He has gone through the outline and detailed outline many times in the past few days, but couldn’t find any places that needed to be revised.

How perfect is this outline and detailed outline?

Actually not.

But this is the outline and detailed outline that took the longest time to prepare and is the most complete since I started working in this field.

There were several years when he wrote novels without an outline, let alone a detailed outline.

In the words of a friend in the circle – when he writes novels, it’s like walking on a watermelon rind, he’ll go wherever it takes him.

Later, as he began to write about themes such as fairy tales and fantasy, he gradually discovered that these two themes were too easy to go astray without an outline or detailed outline.

A little off today, a little off tomorrow, it won’t be long before the whole story is a million miles away from the effect I wanted before I started writing the book.

Especially the settings of the world background and cultivation system. Because there is no outline, bugs will appear in the settings of the world background as the writing progresses.

The cultivation system is also easy to break down.

The combat power of the protagonist and supporting characters is prone to fluctuate.

Sometimes, a certain character is extremely brave, and sometimes it seems that everyone is evenly matched with this character, as if anyone can fight with this character evenly.

Later, he gradually developed the habit of preparing an outline.

But he usually doesn’t write a lot of detailed outlines, nor does he write them in great detail.

Because the more detailed the outline is, the greater the restrictions on his impromptu expression when typing every day.

But when I type every day, some new inspiration will definitely come to me.

When these inspirations come to me, I really want to write them down.

However, an overly detailed outline will limit his daily impromptu performance. Otherwise, one small detail will affect the entire body and make all subsequent details invalid.

The key is that if the outline is too detailed, as you write, you will most likely lose the passion to continue creating.

I became more and more irritated as I wrote, and had to suppress my new inspirations every day.

Over time, I will feel reluctant to continue writing this story.

Having learned this lesson, he took it into consideration when writing the detailed outline of “The Tomb of the Gods”.

At first glance, he has written a lot of words in the detailed outline of each volume.

But in fact, it is mainly freehand rather than realistic.

There is no specific description of which characters should appear in this volume, nor is there a specific description of these characters’ dialogues, psychology, etc.

It mainly describes the feeling of this volume, some details of the scene, some important props, the interests and ideas of several characters and other contradictions and conflicts.

and many more.

Now, the outline and details of “God’s Tomb” have been completed.

“I Want to Become an Immortal” should be completed this month, and he wants to consider the works after “God’s Tomb”.

And this time, he wanted to write a work about the primitive world.

I want to develop the theme of prehistoric style.

So, he has been watching “Investiture of the Gods” again recently.

He set the world background of “God’s Tomb” as the world of cultivation after the gods fell and the path to becoming an immortal was cut off. If he writes another work of the prehistoric era, it can be connected with the world background of “God’s Tomb” and even the world background of “I Want to Become an Immortal”.

In his imagination, the timeline of “Shenmu” is after “I Want to Become a God”, and it can be regarded as the sequel to “I Want to Become a God”.

In the world of “I Want to Become an Immortal”, cultivators who reach the pinnacle of cultivation can ascend to become immortals.

However, the path to becoming an immortal in “God’s Tomb” has been cut off. No matter how high the cultivators in the world reach in their cultivation, they cannot ascend to heaven.

The Honghuang style work he wants to prepare recently is about the story before “I Want to Become an Immortal”.

It can be considered as the prequel to “I Want to Become a God”.

In this way, the worlds in these three books can form a complete system.

From the primitive world, to the fairy world where the gods sit high above the nine heavens and human cultivators can cultivate to become immortals, to the world of cultivation after the path to immortality is cut off.

This idea came to him when he was writing the outline of “God’s Tomb” in the past few months.

While writing the outline of “Tomb of the Gods”, he gradually developed an idea, or ambition.

——He wanted to use his own works to create a mythical fairy tale universe belonging to him, Cao Sheng.

The impact of a single book is limited.

But if each of his subsequent books are connected, and the world background settings are consistent, eventually forming a huge cosmic system, its appeal to book fans will increase exponentially.

Using this idea to plan each of his future works, he is even confident that he can write from the primitive times to the end of the law and the low-military era of modern society.

When I wrote about the low-martial arts era, it was just the right time to write about the national martial arts style in online literature, such as “The Legend of Dragons and Snakes” by Yuan Shikong Shenji.

He already has the idea.

The question now is whether it is possible to construct a good outline for a prehistoric work.

This step is critical.

He had never written a prehistoric novel before, and the world setting of the prehistoric novel was very complicated, requiring the integration of many myths and legends in ancient books. He needed to consult many classics.

It cannot be achieved overnight.

Unless he wants to write casually.

If you just fool around, it won’t be difficult.

But what’s the point of writing such a work? Just to make money?
As a reborn person, he has many opportunities and ideas to make money even if he doesn’t write novels.

If you just want to make money, writing novels is not the best choice.

But he did not write novels purely for making money from the beginning.

There are not many people who write online articles just to make money.

……

Night falls.

Cao Sheng brought a big bowl of old duck soup with rice crust and came to the study on the second floor.

A pot of old duck soup can solve his food problems for several days.

Soak rice crust tonight, cook vermicelli tomorrow, blanch some vegetables and mushrooms in the old duck soup the day after tomorrow, and then soak the rice.

In front of the computer.

He ate and drank while waiting for the computer to start up.

After successfully booting up the computer, he first logged into his email.

There are still a lot of people sending him emails recently. A few days ago, a powerful female fan found out his email account from somewhere and sent him a swimsuit photo. It was late at night and made him very restless and irritable. I wonder if she has sent any new photos today?
result……

After logging into his mailbox, he saw an email from Changqingshu.

This made him a little disappointed, more than he was willing to admit.

Chang Qingshu: “Brother! We have been working together for so long, but we have never met. I always feel sorry.

It just so happens that I would like to travel to Huangshan recently. I know you are in Huizhou Teachers College, which is very close to Huangshan. If you don’t mind, I would like to stop by and treat you to a meal and a few drinks. Would you be welcome?

If it’s inconvenient, that’s okay, I can understand.

But I would be very happy to meet you.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

——Evergreen

Cao Sheng was a little surprised.

This time, Chang Qingshu actually called him “brother” in the email.

It’s never been called that before.

Want to travel to Huangshan? Want to stop by and treat me to a meal and a drink?

Cao Sheng is not a three-year-old child. He has long passed the age where he believes whatever others say.

He filtered out all the decorative words in the email, leaving only the simple message – Brother! I want to treat you to dinner and drinks.

Why does Changqingshu suddenly want to treat me to dinner and drinks?

Why didn’t you think so before?

After more than a year of cooperation, you just remembered to treat us? Is your reaction time too long?

Cao Sheng thought of the work “I Want to Become an Immortal” which was about to be completed.

Although this book has not been serialized much online, it is almost finished being published in Taiwan and mainland China.

Then I thought about the increasing number of emails I have received recently asking me to write articles. At least thirty publishing houses in mainland China and Taiwan have frequently sent me emails asking me to write articles.

Therefore, at this time, Changqingshu’s purpose of inviting him to dinner and drinks was obvious.

——Want the copyright of my new book?
Guessing this possibility, Cao Sheng smiled.

He lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice crust and drank two sips of old duck soup. He pondered for a moment before raising his hand to type a reply.

“Okay! A warm welcome! When you arrive, please remember to tell me the time in advance, and I will pick you up at the train station or airport in advance. I will treat you to a drink then! – Zhongyuan Yidianhui”

He felt pretty good about the one-year cooperation with Xinchang.

It was a pleasant cooperation.

Therefore, if Xinchang is sincere enough, his new book will definitely tend to continue to cooperate with Xinchang.

If you change publishers randomly, who knows whether they will delay paying your royalties? Who knows how well they can distribute your works in Taiwan?

But the prerequisite for continued cooperation is that Xinchang is sincere enough this time.

He is confident about his new book, “God’s Tomb”.

As the outline and detailed outline gradually took shape, his confidence grew.

Although “God’s Tomb” may not give readers as amazing a feeling as “I Want to Become an Immortal”, after all, “I Want to Become an Immortal” is a pioneering work.

The setting of the world of cultivation is enough to amaze many people.

However, he had too little time to prepare for “I Want to Become an Immortal”. Although he tried to adjust the plot in the middle and late stages, it is still a mediocre cultivation novel overall.

It takes the most unpretentious route of killing monsters and upgrading.

According to his standards, “I Want to Become an Immortal” is only a work with a score of 7.

It mainly relies on novelty and the routine of exciting writing to attract readers.

But his “Tomb of the Gods” is different.

Although it is not as novel as “I Want to Become an Immortal”, the main plot of this book is not simply about fighting monsters and upgrading. When writing the outline, he focused on shaping more than a dozen main characters and twenty or thirty supporting roles with considerable roles.

If we say that “I Want to Become an Immortal” attracts people with the routine of a cool novel.

As for “God’s Tomb”, he hoped to attract readers with the charm of the characters in the book, and to move readers with the tragic and resolute desire of the powerful people in the human world to change their fate and resume their path to immortality after the path to immortality was cut off.

To put it simply, “I Want to Become an Immortal” is a purely enjoyable novel, and its purpose is to make readers feel happy.

Fun is the core selling point.

As for “God’s Tomb”, Cao Sheng hopes that readers will not only feel happy, but also be moved.

Feeling refreshed and being touched are two different feelings.

The former may feel extremely happy when watching it.

But after reading it, you may quickly forget what you have read, and it is difficult to remember how many characters and plots there are in the book.

The latter will leave readers with a touching feeling that they may remember for many years, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
