Ch1800+, found there was a halt in updates. So... What an unexpected cut to the story. Seems like there will be no more (chapters). Upon researching, I read up the author's concluding remarks. Basically...here's what I got: This is goodbye. Lost the motivation. The emotions originally poured into the novel changed. The lesson, humans change---the author got the hard brunt of it. MTL'd: [I no longer believe that there is a "perfect answer" that can solve all problems and save cities and entire civilizations.] Supposedly, there were three arcs: Dragon City, Alien World, and Xinghai (sea of stars?) Chapter, Obviously, being 30% in (2000 chapters of one arc, imagine fleshing out an entire fucking world, much less galaxies) and having other thoughts wouldn't bring a congruent story together. Veteran authors might've, but the author resigned (not being able to do it). Other remarks are lost in translation and/or conjectures, so I won't go further. RIP? Condolences? Re-read Forty Millenniums of Cultivation? Or count the calendar sheets and anticipate an upcoming novel?
