"In my opinion, the third world-view alteration is fast approaching."
The exceptionally beautiful youth, Fang Ming, gazed towards the Azure Sky Realm. Within his eyes, various futures of Wang Yuan manifested.
This encompassed the entire world-view of the Xianxia world, the three thousand minor realms, the great realm, and the immortal realm. Within the grand river of time that spanned the entire world-view, Fang Ming had already seen Wang Yuan's past and Wang Yuan's future.
This was not from the perspective of a simulator, but rather, it included Wang Yuan's golden finger simulator, allowing him to see through all future directions.
Fang Ming saw how Wang Yuan's future would unfold using the simulator as his golden finger.
It could be said that not even fifty years had passed, and Wang Yuan had already become an invincible existence within the world-view of this Xianxia world.
The three thousand minor realms and the great realm were all under his control.
Even the ancient immortal realm, which had been out of contact, was predicted by Wang Yuan through the simulator, and he found the path to the immortal realm.
Ultimately, even the immortal realm submitted beneath Wang Yuan's feet.
Before the world-view had changed, Fang Ming, who already permeated the past, present, and future, stood beyond time.
He personally witnessed the future Wang Yuan, who had reached the peak of ten-star level.
It was precisely because he understood Wang Yuan's growth experience that Fang Ming felt the third world-view alteration would arrive soon.
The so-called second draft would soon be changed to a third draft.
Why?
"Because this story lacks any exciting elements."
Fang Ming thought of this.
A normal transmigator, upon obtaining a simulator, should indeed not cause trouble in reality and act wantonly within the simulator to accumulate strength.
This itself was a logical course of action.
However, in reality, there were no conflicts, making it almost like a backdrop. This narrative style would likely not pique the interest of the upper-level narrators, those readers.
The most important thing in a novel is to capture the readers' interest.
Once the interest of the upper-level narrators is not captured, no matter how reasonable or logical the story is, it is useless.
Because readers look for moments of satisfaction, not a perfectly logical story.
Once readers feel the story itself is utterly boring, no matter how logical it is, it's of no use.
Clearly, Wang Yuan, who only improved his strength within the simulator and had no conflict in reality, the protagonist, had made this mistake.
More accurately, the upper-level narrator had made a mistake.
Clearly, such a novel would not attract readers' attention in the market. Fang Ming even believed that the upper-level narrator wouldn't even pass the editor's review.
Therefore, this second draft, in Fang Ming's eyes, would likely become a discarded manuscript.
The third draft would emerge not long from now.
Fang Ming had a premonition that the world-view seemed to be changing once more.
Upper-level narration.
Wang Jun sat in front of his computer.
Wang Jun was submitting his work.
After revising the first draft into the second, he felt his writing ability was improving.
He was quite satisfied with this second draft, but he still felt a sense of trepidation when submitting it to the editor via email.
He eagerly awaited a reply the next day, but when none came, Wang Jun quickly messaged him.
"Can this pass?"
After a long wait, he finally received a reply.
"The pacing is too fast, the plot is advancing too quickly."
"This is fast-paced?"
Wang Jun quickly typed another message.
"Are you planning to write a book under thirty thousand words? Have you ever seen a book with only twenty-something chapters on the market?"
Wang Jun was stunned by these words.
He suddenly recalled something he hadn't considered before.
Yes.
This section, less than thirty thousand words, had already finished the story.
Then what would he write about later?
He wouldn't have to write anything else, as the story was already complete.
The problem was that it ended too quickly.
He himself had never seen a book of only thirty thousand words.
When Wang Jun searched for simulator novels, he hadn't found any simulator novels that were only thirty thousand words and had only twenty-something chapters.
"Then... can this work still pass?"
Wang Jun asked.
He was still unwilling to give up.
"Prepare the third draft."
A message from the other side gave Wang Jun the final verdict.
Wang Jun shut down his computer and thought for a long, long time.
The first draft was criticized for being too slow, and the second draft was criticized for being too fast.
So the question arises.
Is it better to be a bit faster or a bit slower?
Why is it not acceptable to be fast, nor slow?
Does he need to find a compromise in between fast and slow?
Wang Jun gritted his teeth, made various settings in his notebook, and clarified the story.
Then he began writing the third draft.
He swore that no matter what, he would pass.
Lower-level narration.
Fang Ming's avatar, with his Qi Yuan cultivation, as someone who could resist world-view alterations, felt the new world-view covering this Xianxia world.
He heard voices from the upper-level narration in his ear.
[The conflict in the second draft is insufficient...]
[The simulator is designed poorly, failing to create conflict in reality...]
[The golden finger is arranged incorrectly...]
[I still need to reference other simulator novels...]
It was evident that for such reasons, the entire world-view would change.
In an instant, Fang Ming discovered that the past, present, and future had been altered again.
The future Wang Yuan, who had already become an Immortal Venerable and traversed the river of time, disappeared.
Even his name had been changed.
Fang Ming sensed slightly and knew that in the new world-view, the new protagonist was called Gu Chen.
No longer Wang Yuan.
Furthermore, the immortal realm, the three thousand minor realms, and the great realm no longer existed in the world-view.
In this Xianxia world, there was only one realm, the Azure Sky Realm.
Even the seven major cultivation realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Nascent Soul, and Dao Integration had been changed.
If the previous cultivation methods were applied to this altered world-view, cultivation would be impossible.
There was no longer the realm of Dao Integration.
"Gu Chen?"
Fang Ming silently arrived beside this protagonist.
The protagonist named Gu Chen, naturally, did not notice Fang Ming's arrival.
From him, Fang Ming felt a part of Wang Yuan's essence.
After a brief investigation, Fang Ming understood.
Although Gu Chen's life experiences, family, life, and memories were different from Wang Yuan's, his essence, deep down, still contained a part of Wang Yuan's essence.
Gu Chen, although a completely new person, was fundamentally, in essence, Wang Yuan.
This was also why the protagonist's luck in this world was concentrated on him.
The protagonist was still him.
Fang Ming probed deeper and even discovered the essence of the reborn Wang Yuan, the essence of Wang Yuan from the first draft, the initial draft.
"The reborn Wang Yuan, the Wang Yuan with the simulator, and the current Gu Chen..."
"In these world-view alterations, the protagonists have merged..."
"If I'm not mistaken, due to the upper-level narrator's inexperience, the third draft is not the end. Perhaps there will be a fifth draft, a sixth draft, and so on."
