With the female protagonist keeping the group in check, Chu Ge settled down to write.
Although Qiu Wuji didn't understand writing, what he said made a lot of sense. At least for their current exploration goals, perfecting the world-building was more important than the characters and stories. Of course, the story couldn't be neglected; readers were looking for a story, not a setting.
It was just a reminder to himself to be more meticulous in this aspect.
To present every scene of this world as if it were real.
Then the world would naturally become more real.
From north to south, each place had its own unique features and customs, instead of every place looking the same. From the four seasons to the four directions, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the scenery varied, instead of always looking the same.
And a story based on this would undoubtedly be more engaging and immersive.
Although this challenge was getting harder… it actually gave Chu Ge a renewed sense of joy, that initial passion he had as an author back then, that ambition to conquer gods and prove himself.
Leaving aside any ulterior motives, he simply wanted to do this well.
And now, conditions seem to have improved… Cultivation has brought not only improved mental state and quicker thinking, but more importantly, enhanced memory. Many things forgotten in the past can be recalled. Poems, famous lines, scenic passages, and historical allusions that were once memorized but long forgotten are now vividly clear in his mind, as fresh as new.
When is a person's writing ability and imagination at their best? It's during high school, when one truly immerses oneself in literature. Chu Ge has always believed this; his writing was much, much better back then.
So now, it feels like he's returned to that time. His writing is better, his imagination more boundless, and he can effortlessly adapt poems and allusions. Things that were once difficult now seem not as challenging as he imagined.
Furthermore… now that he's trying to multitask, cultivating while writing, Chu Ge feels a strange sensation. Looking at the text on the document, he has a kind of illusory vision, as if the words are blurring, turning into indistinct images.
It's similar to the feeling he had when he responded to Qiu Wuji's Heavenly Dao contract that day… looking down upon the entire human world.
Every blade of grass, every tree, reflects the joys and sorrows of human life.
But it's all vague, the details unknown.
...The world within the book.
Chu Tiange was exploring a dungeon, casually remarking to his friend, "Have you noticed how much more vibrant the scenery around us is? Even the way each flower blooms is becoming more captivating, as if you can feel the life within them." His companion chuckled, "That's normal. After all, you're a Foundation Establishment cultivator now. The microscopic perspective of immortals is naturally different from before. Didn't you feel it when you first broke through?" Chu Tiange stared intently at the small flower in the corner and the texture of the stone wall.
Is this due to his improved cultivation? Perhaps… When he first broke through, he did feel the world was more real, but he quickly got used to it and didn't feel it anymore. But now he's starting to feel it again. Could it be that he's already reached the Golden Core stage…?
He felt the world was more vibrant, as if a veil had been slowly lifted; and he felt lighter, as if a pair of eyes that had been fixed on him were gradually fading away. The fate that had enveloped him, good or bad, was shifting, and the path was under his feet.
It must be an illusion. How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator experience something only a Nascent Soul cultivator could appreciate?
Just focus on doing your own thing. Chu Tiange chuckled, raising his longsword: "Let's go, let's go check out the next level." In the distant Blazing Prison, Yan Qianlie sat cross-legged amidst the raging flames and slowly opened his eyes.
"I also felt... the true existence of the Heavenly Dao. It turns out Qiu Wuji discovered this earlier, going further than I have..."
"But it doesn't matter... now you and I are the same." Yan Qianlie looked at his palm; the fiery red flames gradually turned white, the intense heat even silently extinguishing the underground rock walls.
This is all outside the plot.
Chu Ge couldn't write about their understanding of the Heavenly Dao, but as every texture of the world becomes more vivid, these exceptional individuals will eventually gradually approach reality.
Can they defy the will of Heaven?
At least for now, it remains like a tangled web.
Chu Ge was completely focused, following the predetermined plot: "Chu Tiange stepped into the depths of the cave. A vibrant green miasma filled the space, the air seemed to echo with the howls of vengeful spirits, and crimson eyes flickered everywhere."
"Chu Tiange gripped his longsword tightly, a knowing glint in his eyes: 'Just a defeated general driven away by our sect leader, his primordial spirit barely clinging to life. Why bother with such tricks? Don't you agree, Poison Hand Demon Lord?'" The destined stepping stone appeared as expected in the training ground; fate, unyielding, remained steadfast.
Although it was a very conventional plot, even somewhat formulaic, Chu Ge wrote it with remarkable ease. However, if Chu Ge were looking in a mirror at this moment, he would find that his expression was not the thoughtful concentration he usually displayed while writing.
It was indifference.
The fate of each character blossomed and extinguished at his fingertips; the joys and sorrows, life and death of people were decided by him.
It seemed he could see… beneath layers of mist, the distant masses, like ants.
...
"Phew..." Chu Ge finished typing a chapter, rubbing his slightly swollen head. He felt his state just now was a bit strange; it didn't feel like he was multitasking, but rather like he had drifted off, yet the writing flowed very smoothly.
Hmm, the plot was too simple. It was just Chu Tiange torturing the Poison Hand Demon Lord's recuperating primordial spirit and driving him to cause trouble for Yan Qianlie's affairs. (Chapter interrupted.)
Such a simple plot, and he could even finish it while daydreaming? I really am a genius! (Hands on hips!)
He checked his cultivation; thankfully, his daydreaming hadn't caused any problems. Hmm, even more of a genius! (Hands on hips!)
Chu Ge sighed, leaning back in his chair, savoring the feeling of his daydreaming. How to describe that feeling... indescribable.
He stared at the ceiling, a thought vaguely rising in his mind: If I directly wrote that Qiu Wuji was madly in love with the Creator God, it might even be plausible. The incredibly proud female sect leader looked down on all men in the world, only pursuing her own ideal of Heaven, obsessively conceiving of a god embodying Heaven…
If that were consistent, she could strip tonight.
The thought was immediately and fiercely suppressed.
I can't do that.
I want a real Qiu Wuji, not a sex doll that's been manipulated.
I wonder how she's doing with the group chat and the marketing…
Clicking on "Internal Strife," Chu Ge was completely dumbfounded.
Someone was posting a picture: "You guys go ahead and drive, Daddy's going to figure it out.jpg"
Followed by a string of erotic images and magnet links.
"Kongyu was banned for an hour by administrator Qiu Wuji."
"Down with the dog administrator!"
"You guys chat, I and the administrator are going to sleep first.jpg"
"Banzhi was banned for an hour by administrator Qiu Wuji." Chu Ge couldn't imagine how many people Qiu Wuji had banned while he was typing... Normally, his private chat would be flooded with messages, and he'd have to complain about this new administrator's "abuse of power." But looking around, not a single person had sent him a private message.
Chu Ge secretly messaged a senior admin: "Hey, you guys don't mind her banning people like this?"
"No, we're all having a blast...wait, her?"
"...Yeah, she really is a female admin." Chu Ge said speechlessly, "What do you mean 'having a blast'? Are you all masochists?"
"Holy crap, Chu Ge, you actually have female fans? Is this a joke?"
"This is a joke.jpg" Chu Ge sent an emoji and added, "Could it be that the 'a group dies because of a female admin' rule is about to take effect? Ugh, I was being inconsiderate..."
"No, no, this female admin is really funny. When someone posted a license plate, she even asked what it was..." "They even said there are still netizens who don't know what license plates are these days. Turns out it's a girl, hahaha. Seriously, how many girls these days don't know what license plates are? Could she be a student?" Chu Ge: "Did you teach her to search for license plates?"
"Yeah, she came back half an hour later, banned the person who posted the license plate, and said: 'Birds of a feather flock together, all lecherous!'" Chu Ge: "..."
"Everyone laughed at the admin's cute way of speaking. Mushroom said, 'Yeah, yeah, birds of a feather flock together. Do you want to see some of Chu Da's favorite cars?' She said yes, and then took the magnet link and only now is she popping up to curse, hahaha, it's hilarious." Chu Ge felt dizzy.
You guys had a lot of fun!
If there's no update this afternoon, it means your car crashed...
"Oh right, at first she asked why the group name was 'Same Room Fighting,' isn't that unlucky? Everyone laughed and told her this is a male BL group, Chu Da is everyone's brothel brother, and his chrysanthemum has become a sunflower..."
