Reader note

The beginning of this novel is very exciting! The setting is novel, the sense of conflict is strong, and the characters stand out instantly. It cleverly combines popular elements such as seclusion, cultivating immortals, urbanism, and protecting shortcomings, and has a strong appeal. We can appreciate and discuss it from several aspects: 1. Core highlights and successes 1. Characters with a strong sense of contrast: · Master Chen Yang: Appears to be in his early twenties, but in fact he has lived for hundreds or even thousands of years (can be inferred from the 397th apprentice). He has been in seclusion for more than seventy years, and his way of thinking is still stuck in the past. He is extremely indifferent to mundane matters (such as the life and death of his apprentice's granddaughter), forming a strong contrast between his "young appearance" and his "ancient soul", and his "extraordinary abilities" and "indifferent attitude". · Disciple Chen Qingzhi: An eighty-year-old man, kneeling down to worship his young master. He was forced to sell his family's inheritance in order to save his granddaughter, and was full of worldly helplessness and emotional entanglements. The combination of master and apprentice is full of drama. 2. The climax of the plot at the beginning: There is no lengthy foreshadowing in the story, and the conflict is triggered directly through the disciple's cry and the explosive news of "selling the Taoist temple". The statue of the god breaks and the master is born. It is very fast-paced and can immediately capture the reader's curiosity. 3. Planting a lot of suspense and expectations: · The master's true strength and background? Who is he? Why retreat? What other magical powers are there? · What is the fate of the granddaughter? Is the master really willing to die without saving his life? · Where does the Taoist temple belong? How to recover the Taoist temple that was sold? · How will the conflict with the "Sihai Group" unfold? This will be the first collision between modern capital and ancient immortal cultivators. 2. The key contradiction: the master's "ruthlessness" and the direction of the story. The core of the question you asked lies in the seemingly "ruthless" answer of the master Chen Yang. This is the key point of disagreement in the subsequent development of the plot. There are two possible interpretations of his reaction, which also correspond to different directions of the story: Interpretation 1: Sincere indifference, testing human nature (traditional immortality writing routine) As an old monster who has lived for endless years, Chen Yang is used to seeing life and death. In his eyes, the decades of life of a mortal are indeed fleeting. He may really feel that it is not worth going to war for a little girl, or he may be testing his apprentice's Taoist heart to see if he will be trapped by common sentiments. · Subsequent development: Chen Qingzhi will continue to beg and plead, and even die to express his will, and finally move Chen Yang. Or, although Chen Yang doesn't care on the surface, he will still take action after considering it secretly, because "I am the only one who can bully my apprentice." Interpretation 2: Cold on the outside and hot on the inside, protecting the essence of shortcomings (mainstream cool writing routine) This is an interpretation that is more in line with the taste of current readers. His indifference is just an appearance, even the "waking up anger" that he had when he just came out of isolation and didn't understand the situation. His core logic is: 1. No one can touch my things! (The Taoist temple was sold, which touched Ni Lian) 2. No one can bully my people! (The apprentice was threatened, his granddaughter was kidnapped, and he was also slapped in the face.) The premise of his anger was that "the Taoist temple was sold". As for saving his granddaughter, in his opinion, it might be a matter of course and a matter of course. His logic is not to "save people", but to "make peace" - any person or force that offends him and his followers will have to pay a price. 3. Several possibilities for subsequent plot development Based on the second, more popular interpretation, the plot can unfold as follows: 1. Thunder takes action and reduces the dimension: After Chen Yang finds out the whole story, he will take his apprentice directly to the Sihai Group. Facing modern thugs, guns and even deeper forces, he only needs to show a hint of the immortal cultivator's methods (such as flying swords, spells, coercion) to solve the problem with overwhelming force and rescue his granddaughter. This is the most direct and refreshing "slap in the face" plot. 2. Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is full of fun: Chen Yang entered modern society for the first time and felt novel about everything (mobile phones, cars, and the Internet). He may intervene in a seemingly ordinary way, such as following his apprentice to negotiate, and when the other party is extremely arrogant, he can use incredible methods to easily resolve the crisis, leaving the opponent stunned and the readers smiling. 3. Dig deeper into the background and expand the pattern: The "Sihai Group" may be just a pawn, and behind it may be the shadow of the ancient martial arts family, hostile practitioners or even special government departments. The birth of Chen Yang will stir up the undercurrent of the whole world, and the story pattern will be opened up. 4. Emotional interaction and character growth: The rescued granddaughter may become the link between Chen Yang and modern society. In Chen Yang's interaction with them, his "Taoist heart" that has not changed for thousands of years may have a ripple, and the characters become more flesh-and-blood. Summary This opening chapter is very successful and has great potential. The master's "ruthless" words are not only not a failure, but are the key to shaping the characters and promoting the plot. It instantly highlights the inhuman state of mind of the protagonist, and lays an excellent foreshadowing for the subsequent "Zhenxiang" reversal (the person's verbal disapproval and physical integrity protect his shortcomings). Readers will be very much looking forward to seeing how this seemingly indifferent "old monster" master will overthrow the "Sihai Group" that knows no bounds for the sake of his incompetent apprentice and a broken Taoist temple. This sense of anticipation is the core driving force behind the novel's ability to attract people to read. If you are an author, please keep writing firmly, this is definitely the beginning of a good story!

We spend our entire lives learning about the world, but often forget to look back at ourselves. This book is like a perfectly polished mirror that neither amplifies anxiety nor whitewashes peace, but only truly reflects what is deep in your heart. It may make you stop in front of a certain paragraph and suddenly think of the unspoken farewell when you were seventeen; it may make you lose your mind in a certain sentence and understand the loneliness of working overtime late at night at the age of thirty. It is not a guide to teach you how to "succeed", but an invitation - an invitation for you to temporarily put aside the judgment of the outside world and have a good chat with the self that has been ignored for a long time.

Jiao was born with the fate of "Human Yellow", but because of the humble status of the human race in the primitive world, he experienced the tragedy of his people being enslaved and massacred by gods and demons since he was a child. This also made him make an oath to "support the primitive world with the backbone of the human race." He accidentally obtained the human race's most precious treasure, the "Hongmeng Humanity Cauldron", and has since embarked on the path of cultivation. The skill system revolves around the "power of humanity", which requires absorbing the luck of the human race and gathering the faith of all living beings to break through the realm. This is different from the "absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth" of traditional god and demon cultivation. In the process of growing up, the protagonist resists the invasion of human territory by monsters and demons, breaks the monopoly of the gods on cultivation resources, and even faces the rule of heaven that "humans are destined to be dumb dogs" many times. He united with the scattered strong men of the human race in the prehistoric era to establish the "Holy Court of the Human Race". In key battles such as the "Battle of Zhuluyuan" and the "Controversy of the Purple Sky Palace" with the allied forces of gods and demons, he used the "Tripod of Humanity" to inspire the faith of hundreds of millions of tribesmen, abruptly reverse the situation of the war, and gradually push the human race from the edge of danger to the position of one of the masters of the prehistoric era. This is the core of the novel. The highlight is the theme of racial struggle of "weak against strong" and the unique interpretation of "humanity" - not an individual's rebellion, but the unity of the will and strength of the entire race. In the end, the protagonist does not become an arbitrary emperor, but becomes a "guardian of humanity" and establishes a new prehistoric order in which "all races are equal and share the road."

This book is really beautiful! Not only is the logic tight and the ideas clear, but there are no cheats on what should succeed and what should fail! The protagonist himself is also very smart.
