In fact, Lin Yuan originally had plans to continue writing fantasy novels, but in the past one or two years he has been writing long mystery novels, which are all very long and have taken up a lot of his time, so he has not started writing for the time being.
But now…
With the temptation of the Supreme God and shares before him, Lin Yuan felt that he was ready again!
Isn't it just a fantasy novel
Write!
Not only do you have to write, but you also have to write a work that is convincing enough. After all, the Supreme God is not that easy to obtain.
Besides…
How can I negotiate with Silver Blue Bookstore if my novel is not well written
With this idea in mind, Lin Yuan began to consider what book would be more suitable to open recently.
Western
Or Eastern
Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment and thought that it would be better to continue writing about the East this time, because all the fantasy novels Chu Kuang had written so far were of the East style.
Besides…
After writing Western-style reasoning for so long, Lin Yuan is a little tired of it.
In terms of personal reading preferences, Lin Yuan definitely prefers the Eastern style of painting.
Thinking in this way, Lin Yuan gradually gained direction.
However, Lin Yuan still sought the advice of his agent Jin Mu:
"What type of fantasy novels are the most popular right now?"
"… "
Kaneki's heart skipped a beat.
He always felt that this question was familiar.
Lin Yuan had asked him a similar question before, and his answer was "reasoning".
At that time, Kaneki just thought it was a casual chat, but he never expected that after he gave that answer, the boss plunged into the field of reasoning and has not withdrawn until now...
So this question may be more important than you think!
In this situation, Kaneki had to think carefully.
After several minutes of hesitation, he replied, "All kinds of fantasy themes are good, but the most popular genre in recent years is the Xianxia genre created by the boss..."
"Xianxia?"
"Yes."
Jin Mu said, "Ever since the boss started the Xianxia theme with Zhu Xian, more and more fantasy writers in the circle have started to create works around this theme. Currently, the top six fantasy novels on the sales list are Xianxia, and three are adventures in other worlds. The ranking of the rest is not fixed, and different types have the opportunity to be on the list..."
Lin Yuan suddenly asked: "Has anyone written about the origin of Xianxia?"
Jin Mu was stunned: "Origin? You mean the myths about the creation of the world recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Jin Mu smiled and said, "Hasn't our ancestors already summarized it? Starting from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, to the later prehistoric series and the Fengshen series..."
Lin Yuan nodded belatedly.
According to Jinmu, Blue Star seems to have a complete primitive system.
If not, Lin Yuan could consider writing about prehistoric themes, which is why he asked this question.
Kaneki was a little puzzled.
He didn't expect that his knowledgeable boss didn't even know this kind of common sense...
You must be kidding yourself, right
Kaneki thought that should be the case.
Lin Yuan did not continue chatting with Jin Mu. He opened his computer and searched for some ancient Chinese works.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
It seems that this world does have prehistoric novels—
Lin Yuan was certainly not teasing Kaneki.
If he didn't check the information online, he really wouldn't be sure whether there was a prehistoric world in this world.
He is from Earth.
The ancient Eastern mythology of the Celestial Empire on Earth is too scattered, and no one has ever summarized and organized it.
It was not until Meng Rushenji created "Buddha is the Tao" that he summarized countless myths in the novel, and then the prehistoric novels began to become popular.
In terms of era, Honghuang can be regarded as the origin of immortal heroes.
So Lin Yuan subconsciously thought that there was no prehistoric world on Blue Star either.
Who knew that the cultural heritage of Blue Star was so good? It did not require a dream to enter the magic machine. After the summary of countless predecessors' works, the primitive system here has been preserved very completely.
Many mythological characters have prototypes.
The whole context has been sorted out quite clearly.
It seems that there is no need to write "The Investiture of the Gods" -
Yes.
Originally, Lin Yuan was considering writing "The Investiture of the Gods" so that he could organize the ancient system of Blue Star, but someone had already organized it, so there was no need to do so.
but…
In the process of searching for information, Lin Yuan discovered the background of Honghuang, but there was no further development of the story.
In other words:
There is no Journey to the West!
Whether Journey to the West can be considered as part of the Primordial Chaos is not the point for now, but even if the story of Journey to the West is taken out alone, its influence can easily surpass that of the Primordial Chaos!
in addition.
Many characters in Journey to the West actually existed since the prehistoric times, such as Taishang Laojun...
But there is no "Journey to the West" on Blue Star!
This is a great pity for a world dominated by Eastern civilization, and as a time traveler, we should not let this regret go unremedied.
For a while.
Even though Lin Yuan was calm, his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
That’s “Journey to the West”!
That is one of the four great classics of China!
But now, such a story will come from Lin Yuan, or Chu Kuang's hands!
How could Lin Yuan not be excited
Sun Wukong was his childhood idol!
The Monkey King, Sun Wukong, is the dream of so many people!
Lin Yuan is absolutely certain that once Journey to the West is published, all fantasy novels will be crushed!
As to whether "Journey to the West" can be considered a fantasy novel, it is not important.
Anyway, in this world, gods are everywhere and monsters are as numerous as dogs.
The story of Journey to the West can be considered a myth.
Just like the ancient times.
but…
The period in which Journey to the West took place was very special.
As can be seen from the background of the story, there are countless descriptions of gods and immortals. The heaven dominates the world, and even the great men in the prehistoric period serve in the heaven.
therefore.
"Journey to the West" can be understood as a story that takes place after the primeval world.
At the same time, this story takes place before the background of all the fantasy novels on Blue Star.
Continuing the past and ushering in the future.
After all, no one dares to say that the story of "Zhu Xian" takes place before Journey to the West.
If you add up all the combat power values of the characters in Zhu Xian, they would not even be ranked in Journey to the West.
It's a myth.
Often the earlier the period, the higher the combat power value. Even if the Buddha is placed in the primitive period, his combat power value would not be high.
Don’t think about that for now.
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered.
He has decided that his next fantasy novel will be "Journey to the West"!
This novel is a combination of mythology and fairy-tale civilization, and also continues the primitive period. It is definitely the purest oriental fantasy novel.
This is a story that can truly influence a generation, or even several generations!
So Lin Yuan was very serious!
certainly.
Because the original work of "Journey to the West" was written by Lao Wu.
Wu Cheng'en was an ancient person, and his words and sentences are mainly in classical Chinese.
Lin Yuan's "Journey to the West" must be changed into a modern writing style that is easy to understand.
Under such circumstances, can I still ensure the authenticity of Journey to the West
Lin Yuan was a little worried.
Just at this moment.
The system ding-dong appeared:
"Since the host wants to write Journey to the West, the system has converted Journey to the West into a modern writing style, including a small adaptation of the background."
The system pays great attention to the dissemination of culture.
Lin Yuan wanted to write a story about Journey to the West, and the system took the initiative to help without even asking for money!
after all…
How can we forget Journey to the West
————
ps: Readers who are familiar with Journey to the West can give me some scientific inspiration. I haven't finished reading the original novel by Wubai, but I have watched a lot of TV series and cartoons, so I mostly understood it through online analysis and summary. But I must write this novel. After all, the monkey is just a face, and there will be derivative plots later.
