----------Spoiler warning---------- As the author said in the little green words, there is actually much more to write about this story. Starting from the background and structure, we can write a more magnificent story, but one that has less to do with Mu Rufeng and Qin Shanyi. Throughout the book, it is also the question that all the characters think about at the end. In fact, it is also a problem that human society has faced for thousands of years in reality. In the long history, countless sages have written down their own thoughts. These thoughts that either have the limitations of the times or transcend the limitations of the times are constantly passed on. It continues to be filled by descendants, such as Jingwei filling up the sea or Foolish Old Man moving mountains. Each generation stands on the shoulders of the ancestors one after another, trying to find the answer from a higher perspective. In the process of searching, they become part of the giant and lend their shoulders to the next person who climbs up. Now, there are people like the author who have written the answers they have worked hard to think about in books. We may still not be at the height where we can find the answers, but just like Qin Keyan looking at the wonderful sound, some questions still have no answers, but no one can think about them. So I think this is good. Whether you are confused or have answers that are not answers, it is good to write your thoughts into the book. Using the theoretical methodology we are familiar with, this story is easy to understand. Class differences lead to social injustice, unfair resource distribution brings class conflicts, and the brutal class struggle caused by class conflicts forces people to find ways to break the situation. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth plays a role in the story as both a resource and an armed force. Because it has been controlled by the old privileged class for a long time, the oppressed class directly loses the armed struggle force needed to revolutionize society. This situation was not broken until the emergence of Mu Qingyun. As an immortal cultivator, Mu Qingyun was undoubtedly in the privileged class, but he betrayed his own class and was determined to pave the way for a new world, shatter the previously controlled armed forces, and bring equality to all people. This approach directly caused him to immediately stand on the opposite side of all the characters (immortal cultivators) in the story. From the perspective of each character, Mu Qingyun is an enemy who tries to destroy class privileges. It is very reasonable for him to become the villain BOSS in the whole book. Mo Nian is another character in the book who betrayed her own class and became a privileged class in the new world. In a sense, she is the biggest beneficiary of this innovation. In the ending, no matter what her personal motivations were, she successfully pushed forward the historical process, completed a stable transition of social stages, and had the highest positive impact on the progress of the times among the survivors. In this sense, to all living beings other than monks, she is the best character and the most worthy of being remembered in history and praised for thousands of years. But as readers, we all know that although she fulfilled her historical mission well, she suffered from the pain of not getting what she wanted throughout her life. This is also a taste of the individual and history in and out of the book. (Author, author, you are so cruel, supporting character, my supporting character woo woo woo) Mu Rufeng and Qin Kanyan, as the protagonists, played a negligible subjective role in this major event that changed the course of history. This is also worth understanding. Qin Kanyan had never cared about these major events for the common people in the world. Even if he knew about Mo Nian's plan, he still had a pessimistic and negative attitude, thinking that nothing would change. In fact, this is also the grand proposition that we debate endlessly outside the book: the spiral of history, although it is a spiral, it is also rising, although it is rising, it is still a spiral. Mu Qingyun and Mo Nian saw the rise, and Qin Kanyan saw the spiral. Mu Rufeng's fate was more tortuous. In terms of character, she should not be opposed to change, but her special life experience directly made her a resource to be redistributed in this incident. The ensuing blows caused her to lose the ability to transform objective reality. In the end, she became one of the very few individuals who retained the class privileges (monk) of the old world but did not use privileges to oppress others. For them, it is a carefree ending, but for history, it is like being submerged in the ripples of the wave in an instant. The final direction of this story reminds me of a novel about cultivating immortals from a long time ago (I'm not sure whether it's offensive to mention the specific names of unrelated works here, so I won't write the title). Of course, it is completely different from this story, but in the end it discusses the same issue. It is very courageous and eye-catching to discuss the issue of social change in the theme of cultivating immortality. It is very happy to see such works. Thank you for writing this story.
In fact, I'm a little worried. If they lose their cultivation, they will just be ordinary women. However, their beauty will not disappear along with their cultivation. A face that is too outstanding may be very dangerous in this troubled world. How should they survive?
After reading this, is this the author's first time writing ancient prose? I saw a lot of modern vocabulary hhhh. If I am satisfied with the description of the conflict between characters and emotions, the overall writing style needs to be improved. The ending is a bit hasty. In fact, I could write a short paragraph to supplement the completeness of the story, but I didn't expect it to end suddenly [dog head]
The ending is a bit... Sloppy, maybe I'm stupid and didn't quite understand it.
Congratulations on the ending. To be honest, I was a little confused at the beginning when the old and new timelines were intertwined. The more I read, the more I want to know why this is happening now. I really feel their inner struggle to figure it out. Very good article!
I'm stupid. Is Aji going to retreat to Jinjiang too?
It is a very well-structured article, but I feel that the author's writing skills are not enough to fully support this article. I really hope that the author can revise this article in a few years, and it will probably become a really great article. Of course, it is also great now. Work hard.
After watching it in one sitting, Mo Nian will be really pissed off! ! ! How can there be such a self-righteous person! ! ! Are you so angry?
Thanks for the ending, it looks great!
The ending was caught off guard? ? ? Hard to describe in one word
