Author's Note

Story context

Fellow Daoists, brace yourselves—this isn't a regular chapter. Today's entry is a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the mind of the author himself. "Tomato" steps out from behind the curtain to address the readers directly, explaining why Ji Ning's current trajectory demands a full-system restart. This isn't just an apology for a slow release; it's a masterclass in the sheer scale of worldbuilding required when a Xianxia novel pivots from a regional story to an interstellar-level conflict of epic proportions. Get ready, because this note is a promise that what's coming is going to be *huge*.

Why it matters

Don't skip this chapter or treat it as disposable filler. This author's note is a strategic breather before the storm. It’s the calm before a massive narrative crescendo. Think of it as the moment the sect leader gathers the disciples to announce a great tribulation is coming. The author is promising that the upcoming plot for Ji Ning will have the depth and complexity of a high-level formation—multi-layered, interconnected, and deadly. Savor this brief pause, because once the next chapter drops, the pace is likely to be relentless. The parting phrase "To be continued" is a promise, not a goodbye.
