Chapter 3: Shattered Void

... ...

It must be said that this is a kind of sorrow

As for where the outline of a work has flaws, I apologize, but you will have to find that out for yourself

The story background of "Shattered Void" is set in the distant feudal dynasty of Water Blue Star, known as Ming.

I wonder if I can pass the review of the Supreme Artifact of Humanity in one go, thereby presenting my work before countless readers

Note: The works of Liang Yusheng "The Bride with White Hair" and Ni Kuang "The Six-Fingered Guitar Demon" have been combined for the needs of the plot

Similarly, martial arts novels by authors like Nian Xiaobai, which focus solely on storytelling while neglecting humanistic care, are often criticized by many literary-minded readers and writers, leading them to abandon the works of Nian Xiaobai

To be honest, writing fan fiction is not a pleasant experience. While readers may enjoy the changes made to the original work, a meticulous fan fiction author often consults several times more reference materials than the actual word count of the chapters they produce, fearing being contradicted by the original work.

It is already evening

Many aspiring authors who wish to become official writers spend their entire lives striving to have their outlines approved, yet their works never appear on Qidian Chinese Network for serialization

Then, based on the characters' personalities, determine the subsequent developments of the plot and write a story summary

Having organized the completed sections of the outline and the illustrations, and disposed of the discarded manuscript paper into the household waste processor for incineration, Yan Xiaobai then entered the kitchen to begin preparing dinner along with the Chinese meal.

Even if a novice has great confidence in their work, there is inevitably some apprehension in their heart before the work has officially passed the review and appears on the Qidian Chinese website

The root of all this lies in the bizarre review system of Qidian Chinese Network

The story written by Nian Xiaobai, apart from the title and the setting of martial arts reaching the ultimate level and breaking through the void, has no connection whatsoever to Master Huang Yi's work.

Take Nian Xiaobai as an example; he is one of the casual fans of Jin Yong's works. He has received the basic internal skills bestowed by Jin Yong to his fans, and in addition, he has undergone the gene optimization injection that every human citizen receives at birth. In this life, his physical fitness is at least five times stronger than that of an average person in the twenty-first century

Nian Xiaobai smiled as she ended the call with her sister Nian Qingya. During this conversation, Nian Xiaobai not only chatted but also learned that Nian Qingya would conclude her journey on Water Blue Star in fifteen days and return to Mars with her best friend aboard a spaceship

Throughout the entire night, Nian Xiaobai did not sleep, but instead repeatedly checked and refined the outline of his new book. By the time dawn broke, he confirmed that there were no omissions in the outline. Nian Xiaobai then opened the Qidian Chinese Network, logged into his personal account, applied to add the author backend, and submitted his outline for review to the Supreme Artifact of Humanity, initiating the review process

At the age of eighteen, I first ventured into the martial world, stirring up the winds and clouds, thwarting a conspiracy of rebellion by a major sect, defeating several top martial artists, gaining immense prestige, and attracting the attention of numerous beautiful female heroes

After completing these settings, the outline of a novel world has roughly emerged, and the next step is to establish the characters' personalities

Nian Xiaobai is very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of his own work, and in writing, mediocrity is the greatest taboo. Having highlights and controversies is the foundation of a successful piece.

After finishing his meal, Nian Xiaobai did not continue writing. Instead, he went to the living room, activated the virtual reality communication device, and called his sister Nian Qingya, who was far away on Water Blue Star

The young man also smiled, "Xiaoya, good evening, have you had dinner?"

As time passed, the light gradually dimmed until the lamp in the bedroom automatically turned on, startling Nian Xiaobai awake from the intense focus of constructing a brand new world.

Although we are now in an era of universal writing and reading, the number of works on Qidian Chinese Network, which serves as a primary source of reading for humanity and literature, is still quite limited. Since the beginning of the Investiture of the Gods over 300 years ago, the total number of works accumulated on Qidian Chinese Network is merely 103,823.

The girl's outfit is the long-popular white-haired witch attire, originating from the work "The Six-Fingered Zither Demon" by the renowned author Liang Yusheng, who is the first writer to be canonized in human history. Yan Qingya has been learning the guqin since childhood, which naturally gives her a strong sense of identification with the female protagonist, Sister Xuemei

Subsequently, Nian Xiaobai got up, returned to the bedroom, and began to continue writing his first work

Upon seeing the young Bai, the girl's lovely round face immediately lit up, her large eyes curving into crescent moons as she sweetly called out, "Brother, good evening"

Subsequently, Han Zheng invited eighteen top-tier masters from the martial world for a decisive battle. After the confrontation, his spirit was elevated, achieving unity with the heavens, and ultimately he shattered the void and departed.

I did not expect that behind this major sect in the martial world lies a royal palace. Under their schemes and calculations, Han Zheng has become embroiled in the turmoil of dynastic change.

Beep beep beep

As a result, Nian Xiaobai has a large appetite, effortlessly consuming three dishes, one soup, and three large bowls of rice.

However, in the novel "The Young White", compared to the much more powerful martial arts descriptions found in contemporary martial arts novels, as well as the final depiction of the unity of heaven and man and the breaking of the void, it is precisely these elements that make "He-Tu-Shu" stand out prominently among a plethora of mediocre martial arts novels

After enduring numerous conspiracies and life-and-death battles, Han Zheng gradually grew and ultimately became the foremost master in the martial world

Since my younger sister Qinya traveled to Water Blue Star a week ago, calling her every night has become a mandatory course for me, her older brother. As her brother, I am still quite worried about my sister who is far away.

Today I visited the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and... Upon hearing the question from Nian Xiaobai, Nian Qingya immediately perked up and began to share her experiences of the day with her brother

The entire work emphasizes storytelling, with the plot designed to highlight the protagonist. It features numerous thrilling encounters, heroic rescues, and satisfying moments of retribution, making it impossible for readers to put it down.

If the novels of the young author are merely that, then compared to the martial arts novels of this era, they represent only a breakthrough in writing techniques. While martial arts thrillers can attract a portion of readers, they will not elevate the young author to legendary status.

A work is initially shaped by its outline; any flawed outline of a work will not receive the recognition of the supreme artifact of humanity. Without this recognition, it cannot be serialized on Qidian Chinese Network

Nian Xiaobai is preparing a new book, starting from the most fundamental settings. This includes the world background and geographical distribution, the cultivation system and the major powers of this world, as well as some unique items that need to appear in the plot.

"I have eaten, what about you, brother?" said Nian Qingya.

The smart cooking machine emitted a prompt sound, and Nian Xiaobai quickly gathered her thoughts, bringing the prepared shredded pork in garlic sauce, braised pork, spicy diced chicken, and mushroom soup to the table

In this future era, due to the existence of the supreme artifact of humanity, every individual possesses the inherent ability to gather the belief and mental power of those around them to strengthen themselves, resulting in a significant improvement in the overall quality of the populace

As he placed the ingredients into the smart cooking machine and awaited the cooking time, Nian Xiaobai's thoughts unconsciously drifted to the fantasy martial arts work "Shattered Void" that he was preparing.

Nian Xiaobai raised his head and glanced at the night sky outside the window, which had already turned pitch black, feeling a sense of emotion

The young Han Zheng was born ordinary, yet he possessed an innate intelligence and an extraordinary memory. At the age of eight, he accidentally fell off a cliff and obtained a miraculous elixir that transformed his very essence, granting him unparalleled potential. Subsequently, he was taken as a disciple by a senior expert in the martial world, where he learned the pinnacle of martial arts heritage.

"How was your day today?" asked the young novice with a smile

Approximately one minute later, the call was connected. In the living room, a white halo flickered, coalescing into the figure of a slender young girl dressed in a pure white robe, with flowing silver hair.
