Actually, I believe that makes him third

Feels like the story is coming to an end rather quickly, but I am enjoy it regardless.

Translation of summary: At this point, after careful consideration, I have decided to finish this novel. Actually, this book did quite well. Haven't you noticed? I've gone from LV1 to LV4~ Though there are a few loose ends, like not providing a story for the Deep Blue Empress and not exploring the counterattack in the Osid Plane, in my view, a complete story has come to an end. Rather than continuing with mechanical upgrades and monster battles, I'd prefer to focus on the human race completely repelling the Osidians. This would be a fitting conclusion to the novel. At least by ending it here, we can leave some room for imagination, right? The Golden Sky Realm, the Origin Continent – they're still exciting to imagine! (Please forgive me). Honestly, I could continue following the established outline, writing without emotion. The royalty for that would actually be quite good. But I've always remembered one comment – "This author has started churning out stories for profit." Honestly, when I first read that comment, I was quite surprised. Because when I write, I never intentionally write for profit. But that comment made me reflect. Perhaps, without realizing it, I was indeed doing just that. For example, writing an entire chapter about a single fight (laughs). So, I took the time to read many works by accomplished authors and learned from their writing experiences. I finally realized that readers don't enjoy lengthy battle scenes, even if I find them thrilling. Those great authors don't focus on which moves or abilities are used in a fight. They focus on "emotion." Only by stirring emotions can readers resonate with the story. That's what makes a story "not just for profit." So, after that, I had an "epiphany." I consciously started avoiding extensive battle descriptions. You see, in the past, every time I wrote a fight, my head was filled with techniques and details, like scenes from a movie, with all sorts of powerful moves causing city-wide destruction (laughs). I deeply love the act of writing, and I'm willing to invest time in it. But I'm just an ordinary person, my family isn't from a literary background, and I don't have a teacher for writing. The only thing I can rely on is my love for novels. Over the years, I've read almost every type of novel – fantasy, cultivation, historical, urban, infinite flow... and so on. As long as a novel is well-written, I can easily get lost in it. Even at my age, I'll stay up all night reading a good novel. Although I do regret it in the morning, health comes first! ...I seem to have gone off on a tangent. I am both a reader and a writer. In order to write better novels, I've gathered a lot of information. Through studying these theories, I've also identified significant areas for improvement in my personal writing skills. For instance, the pacing of the novel is off, the characters aren't well developed, and the romantic subplot is a mess. (It seems Chris did a better job...) Initially, I wanted to write about Yang Xi's love life, but I realized my writing skills weren't up to par, so I gave up. This has become one of my regrets. "Emotion" is also something I deliberately elevated in the conclusion. So, for the next book, I want to strengthen my control over pacing and emotional development. Thanks to the support of Starting Point's transformation, I can write about any genre I want. The next one might be an urban entertainment novel, about a male protagonist who gets a phone from Earth and uses songs, novels, and movies inside it to dominate a parallel world. Or it could be a story about a protagonist who accidentally consumes pieces of a Dragon Ball, starts cultivating to survive, slowly unravels the mystery of their origin, and defeats the ultimate boss. In any case, I'll need to communicate with the editor~ I personally read novels of all types, so I'm not sure about everyone else's reading habits. I hope that for the next book, you all can continue to support me~~ -Wudi

only took 400 chapters for this character to be mentioned again

Is there a reason he doesn't use Nexus here? Perhaps nearby people might notice the use of aether?

Oh....

Would also be interesting to see what his mother's gift would evolve into, since it is considered kind of a worthless gift.

dude needs to get a trusted healer or healing artifact asap

I'm guessing it's the blade user. Would be interesting to see him and the viscountess fight.
