The Laws of Cultivation: Qi = MC^2

Hey folks, I've been reading the comments and I see that a lot of you feel disappointed or dissatisfied with the ending of book 4. I think that's fair, the ending was very disjointed, past faced and disconnected, we zoomed out a lot and events happened one after the other in rapid succession. So I understand the concerns, but I'm not here to defend the story. All I really want to say is what I've put out is what I wanted to put out. The way I wrote it is intentional in the setup. I intend for the work to speak for itself, it is what I want it to be, I was running on time constraints, that is my own fault, and I apologize to all of you as well for not being able to give all of you more time to read and catch up, it's why I'm leaving a link to a google doc down below which you can copy the book from, or just download it. All that said, the story is what I want it to be, and I'm not unhappy with it. It's leading up to something and I have the next stages planned out, alongside the ending as well.

If you'd like my own thoughts on it, then the following are what I think:

I could've, if I wanted, taken a long and slow route, and had a good chunk of time be dedicated to the war. To let the technological advancement part of it, and the battle against demon work out, but in my mind, that part has more or less already been achieved. Technological advancement will happen. The world will develop, it's already been set down a path it can't return from. The war itself is a proxy to the real conflict, the main plot of the world, the broken status of life, death, and reincarnation. And I thought quite a bit on how I wanted to tackle this particular conflict. The normal way would've been to put this at the end of the story, have a big battle, big fight, have the war culminate in an epic moment, have Lu Jie leading armies and fighting and then he wins or loses or some sort of resolution.

But that's just not what this story is. From the start, Lu Jie has never been a fight, he has never been someone who has ever wanted conflict. It is simply not who he is. So the end of this story could not have been like that, he could not have fought in the war, he's been forced to accept a lot of power, responsibility, and a lot of heavy decisions but war is simply not something he can condone. He is only doing it because there is no option left but this, and even then, he constantly does not want it for himself.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

That is why I decided to do it this way. It was already built up before, from book 2, that the state of channeling Divine power left Lu Jie in an almost out of body state where he functioned almost on his own, originally outside of his own will, but even when he got control, it was like controlling a character from the outside, he was disconnected from things, and this war and the ending sequence was a big highlight of that. Something fundamentally changed when he touched upon the Mandate of Heaven, he had to make a tough choice there, and the following moments were him clinging on to himself and not giving in, it's why he held back from allowing the full power of Divinity to embody him till the very end.

Anyway, I know people might be wondering how the story will proceed from here, what about Labby, and Sheldon, and literally everyone else? Are they all dead? Will the world be reborn? The answer is no, they're all still alive, all of that is going to be answered in book 5, which I'll be starting shortly.

For those who want to be able to go back and read the content or those who don't have the time to read all available chapter since time, here's a gdoc link which will let you copy the content or download it in the file formal of your choosing. Fourth Law (Rough Draft)

That's all from me, I'll see you all with book 5, which will be the final book in the series.
