Chapter 249: Shocking! A Great Renaissance on Sea Demon Island!
...
Five days after the release of Volume 1 of "Fighting the Sky with Fire"...
A tall and sturdy figure arrived at the Dream Return Pavilion.
He stood over nine feet tall, with a tail resembling a steel whip, and long arms, appearing to be an ordinary demon.
"Boss, I'm here to publish a book!"
"Oh my, you finally came!!!" The boss, upon seeing the person, became extremely excited and hurriedly greeted him.
This attitude caught the attention of all the customers in the store, who glanced at each other and secretly speculated.
"Let's talk inside!" said the tall figure.
"Sure, please come this way!" The boss's attitude was extremely good as he led him into a dark room.
There were formations carved here, simple but capable of blocking most prying eyes.
"These are Volume 2 and Volume 3 of 'Fighting the Sky with Fire!'" Nicholas Xiu, or Wang Xiu, slowly took out a brand new booklet.
"Two volumes? That's great!" The boss was extremely excited. This was an unexpected joy!
If those readers knew, they would go crazy, wouldn't they?
"I heard that my book has been selling well recently," Wang Xiu asked with a light laugh.
"Not just well? Mr. Nicholas, your book is written so well, to be honest... I consider myself an avid reader, and I have never seen such a brilliant story. It's amazing!" The boss was very excited, and it could be seen that he genuinely liked this book, his voice trembling as he spoke.
"Oh, almost forgot, this is yours!" The boss took out a storage bag and handed it to Wang Xiu. Inside were over 7,000 magic crystals.
"Thank you!"
Wang Xiu accepted it and turned to leave.
"Just a moment!" The boss suddenly called out to him.
"What is it?"
"Would you consider becoming our resident author at the Dream Return Pavilion?" the boss asked.
"What do you mean?" Wang Xiu was puzzled.
"Simply put, it means that we will promote your reputation together with the Dream Return Pavilion. We will wholeheartedly recommend your works to our customers in the future, and your share of the profits will also be higher!" The boss explained eagerly.
"No need!" Wang Xiu didn't hesitate and directly refused.
The boss wanted to say something more.
But Wang Xiu had already turned and left.
He felt a little disappointed. Nicholas was definitely a very promising author. If they could bind him to the Dream Return Pavilion, they would undoubtedly elevate the pavilion to new heights.
...
Leaving the Dream Return Pavilion...
Wang Xiu didn't go directly back to his own courtyard, but instead merged into the crowd on the street like an ordinary person.
People were coming and going on the street.
Various discussions filled his ears.
Almost all of them were talking about the plot of "Fighting the Sky with Fire."
"The new book is a hit, the first step is considered complete..." Wang Xiu secretly pondered. This was a test, to see if the stories in his mind could be applied to this world.
So far, the effect seemed quite good.
Coupled with the subtle influence of "The Great Dream's Awakening," the things he wanted to do might not be impossible to achieve.
"Just relying on this kind of subtle influence is still too slow... Looks like I need to explode even more!" Thinking this way, Wang Xiu turned into a dark alley.
Not long after...
Several figures followed him, exchanged glances, and entered the alley, only to find nothing.
Buzz!
The next moment, an invisible ripple covered the space, like a prohibition.
"You're looking for me, huh?" Wang Xiu appeared silently, looking at the several Demon Race members who had been following him since leaving the Dream Return Pavilion.
"Kill!" Without any nonsense, the Demon Race members charged towards Wang Xiu the moment they saw him, their killing intent soaring, and demonic energy billowing.
Wang Xiu appeared indifferent, with one hand behind his back, holding the Immortal Executing Sword in his hand, sweeping across.
Crash!
The sword energy turned into a vast expanse, covering the void, and the destructive sword light instantly annihilated and devoured the few demons.
Wang Xiu slowly approached, capturing a few strands of residual souls, and activated the Emperor of the Underworld's Soul Reading Technique.
"Gongyang Pu, Ghost Constellation..." After a while, Wang Xiu opened his eyes. The person who wanted to kill him turned out to be these three original authors from the San Yuan City.
Sure enough, colleagues can be enemies.
He had never thought of getting involved in the petty squabbles of these people.
But since the grudge had already been formed, he might as well go all out.
Wang Xiu raised his hand and threw out two balls of fire, cleaning up the scene.
Then he canceled the Great Void Concealing Divine Mantra.
...
In a luxurious room.
"Gongyang brother, are we being too impulsive? After all, we don't know the other party's background. What if those people below can't deal with him?"
"If we can solve him, that's the best and the easiest! If we can't, they won't be able to trace it back to us... We're just testing him!" Gongyang Pu stroked his goat beard calmly.
"That's right! This book is only popular in the San Yuan City for now. With our influence, we have plenty of means to restrict its development... " Another Demon Race sneered, thinking that suppressing a new author was too simple.
"Why bother?" Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in their ears.
"Who's there?" The demons panicked, looking around. The voice came out of nowhere, and their demonic senses couldn't detect any trace.
When they turned around, they suddenly found a figure sitting at their table, calmly drinking wine.
"Phew... This wine is really terrible!"
Wang Xiu took a sip and couldn't help but spit it out. He guessed that the taste buds of the Demon Race were quite different from those of the human race. He really didn't know how they could drink this stuff.
"Who are you?" Gongyang Pu stared at Wang Xiu intently, looking nervous and tense.
"The person you want to kill is also the person who will kill you soon!" The words fell lightly, as if a heavy hammer struck the hearts of the demons.
"Attack!" Gongyang Pu shouted loudly, wanting to take the initiative.
He was extremely powerful, although he was a demon, he had lived for many years and was not much weaker than some young pure-blooded Demon Race.
Wang Xiu remained calm, forming a seal with one hand.
In an instant, the void seemed to freeze.
...
After a moment.
News of the famous authors Gongyang Pu and others being killed spread throughout the wine shop, causing chaos.
The bodies had already turned cold.
There were no traces left by the killer at the scene, causing a heated discussion among the countless demons in the San Yuan City.
For Wang Xiu, this incident was not even considered an interlude.
Having cleanly and efficiently dealt with Gongyang Pu and the others, he returned to his own courtyard and continued writing.
Of course, there was an unexpected surprise.
In the storage bags of Gongyang Pu and the others, there were a large number of tools needed for writing, such as sheepskin paper and spirit grass paper.
That saved him some trouble!
...
At the same time, the new volume of "Battle in the Sky of Fire" appeared on the market.
Once again, it ignited the entire San Yuan City's literary world.
Remembrance Pavilion printed five million copies, but it was still not enough. They were constantly printing more, experiencing both pain and joy.
"Wonderful, it's so wonderful!"
"Sob, if only I had a master like the protagonist."
"I also have an ancestral ring. I suspect that my low bloodline concentration is just an illusion. There must be an old man in the ring absorbing my bloodline power!"
"I smashed all of my father's rings, but I couldn't find Grandfather. I now suspect that Grandfather is hiding in the ring that my father wore!"
The whole city is discussing it, and the scene is unprecedented. In the Demon World, there has never been a story that has reached such popularity.
"...Ah, damn it, it's gone again!"
"I finished reading two volumes so quickly? Can you write more?"
"And it had to stop at the most exciting part, the author is so annoying!!!"
"Is there any noble gentleman who can find this author and lock him up, so he can't do anything else but write for me!"
The plot of the two volumes is neither too much nor too little.
It was quickly caught up with.
In the city of Sanyuan, demons danced wildly, countless demons couldn't sleep all night, and they lost motivation even for cultivation, their minds were full of thoughts about the plot to come.
The ancestral land of the Earth Demon Elephant Clan.
"Still haven't found him?" Xiangshan said displeasedly.
"Master, Nicholas Xiu is too mysterious. Our people have tried to track him, but we lost him several times!" the minotaur said with a grievance.
"Useless, what's the use of keeping you?" Xiangshan angrily gritted his teeth and said, "Give you five more days, you must find him for me. I want to lock him up and not let him go anywhere, just write for me!"
"Yes!"
...
However, this eager state of catching up was soon broken.
Wang Xiu had already realized that this speed was too slow, although he could continue to ferment and spread his fame wider and wider.
But the problem was, he didn't come for fame.
The day of the Abyss Tide was approaching, and there was still a long way to go.
So, he locked himself in his room, released his soul, and controlled thousands of pens to write, with astonishing efficiency.
In just three days.
He finished writing "Battle of the Skyfire Firmament," updating with over five million words!
As soon as the news spread.
The city of Sanyuan exploded.
"Oh my god, has this author changed?"
"Could it be that he's just writing randomly?"
"No, I've read it for everyone, the quality is not decreasing but increasing, hahaha... the later it gets, the more exciting it becomes!"
"Oh, Nicholas, my god!"
"Amazing, it's so damn amazing!"
All the readers were excited, diving into the story and unable to extricate themselves.
However, few people noticed.
As they delved deeper into the story and read it more times, an invisible imprint became deeper in their hearts, gradually becoming irresistible.
On the streets of Sanyuan, the numb and hollow eyes of those demons gradually disappeared.
Each one was filled with brilliance.
The things they did to survive, performing tricks for the higher-ranking Demon Race gentlemen with their lives, gradually decreased.
"Youth is the burning passion!"
"Each of us demons is the protagonist of our own lives, and we can also live out our own brilliance!"
"If heaven is jealous of me, heaven can also destroy me!"
"..."
...
Night Emperor City.
An ancient demon city stood at the top of the world.
Thick chaos mist enveloped the surroundings of this demon city, constantly rolling, vast and infinite, releasing a terrifying demonic aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Terrifying demonic light constantly impacted this demon city.
The momentum was terrifying.
"Is there anything else you need to report, everyone?"
On the vast palace, a Demon Race woman stood in the middle, with a proud figure and a cold aura. With a disdainful gaze, she exuded an imposing presence.
The demons fell silent.
"If there is nothing else, let today's meeting end here!"
"Reporting to the Lord!" Suddenly, a figure stepped forward, looking embarrassed. "There is something that I'm not sure if I should report..."
The Lord glanced at him indifferently and said, "Whether it should be reported to the Demon Emperor, I will decide. Just speak!"
"It's like this... In my jurisdiction, there has been a popular book recently! Almost all the demons love to read it..."
Snicker!
Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding Demon Race powerhouses burst into mocking laughter.
The mockery was thick.
"Lion Night Lord, are you... No, are you joking with me, or rather, with the Demon Emperor? Do you really think this is worth reporting?" The Lord sneered, tilting his head to look at him.
"I dare not!" Lion Night broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed, saying, "I just thought that this matter has a wide impact and may affect our upcoming major plan..."
"Ridiculous! If we can be shaken by a mere mortal book, can it still be called a major plan?" The Lord's lips curled up, seemingly smiling, but the smile was icy. "It seems that Lion Night Lord has indeed grown old. You should let go of this concern!"
"Yes..." Lion Night's face turned ugly as he retreated.
"Alright, everyone disperse!"
...
At the same time.
Inside San Yuan City.
Wang Xiu's creative speed was skyrocketing at an astonishing rate.
After the completion of "Battle of the Fire Sky," he wrote three works in just five days.
They were "Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin," "Heavenly Emperor Legend," and "Blue Silver Grass Legend"!
They amounted to millions of words!
Originally, "Battle of the Fire Sky" alone was enough for the demons to savor for a long time.
But Wang Xiu's massive cultural bombardment made it impossible for them to slow down. They couldn't resist reading, and once they started, they couldn't stop.
They could only use their demonic thoughts to quickly absorb the information into their minds.
"So amazing! Nicholas Xiu is the most amazing author I've ever seen!"
"The plot is so thrilling, and every character is so well-developed..."
"It's so terrifying!"
"The plot is secondary. The most important thing is the spirit contained in these works. They are like unforgettable fine wines!"
In every tavern in the city, such discussions were taking place.
San Yuan City was deeply influenced by this cultural wave.
Even in the brothels, there were new requirements for the girls.
They had to be familiar with all of Master Nicholas's works.
Otherwise, they would have no common language with the customers and would easily be rejected.
And this measure was undoubtedly very wise.
The brothels became popular again, and many customers spent a lot of money to engage with the girls and discuss the stories in the books all night long.
The more they talked, the more excited they became.
"I hold the sun and moon, plucking the stars from the sky. There is no one like me in the world! So cool..."
"The enemy defeated by my hands is never considered a rival. I will give you time to catch up until you can no longer see me... Ah, this is the dream of a male demon!"
"I control my own destiny, not at the mercy of heaven!"
"..."
The demons were boiling, feeling wave after wave of hot blood rushing and colliding in their chests.
A radiant thought of "resistance" lit up in their hearts.
A seed that had long been planted in their hearts gradually sprouted and grew into a towering tree.
The thoughts of the demons were about to awaken!
