To all my esteemed readers, this story is drawing to its conclusion, with approximately ten chapters remaining until completion.
I had not intended to conclude so soon, but due to prior personal health issues that led to a hiatus in updates, I am no longer able to maintain the rigorous updating schedule I once had.
While my mental state has improved recently, the treatment, medication, and sleep issues have caused me to gain over fifty catties in just two to three months. The hardships I've endured are too numerous to detail, and I will spare you the specifics.
My primary purpose in writing this is to offer my sincere apologies to all of you. I am truly grateful for your support of this book and genuinely wish to continue it. I wanted to use this single chapter to inform you in advance that the book is nearing its end, so you can be mentally prepared.
The remaining ten or so chapters will be dedicated to wrapping things up. I will do my utmost to tie up all the foreshadowing and plotlines from the early stages, aiming for a satisfying conclusion that leaves you all content. Given the constraints of length, a perfectly comprehensive ending may be impossible. Therefore, if there are any characters whose fates you wish to see detailed, please leave their names in the chapter comments. For every suggestion you make, I will write out that character's ending, ensuring no one is left out.
This is not a hasty conclusion. The protagonist has already ascended to sainthood, invincible in the world, with no one to scheme against or contend with. To continue writing would only involve detailing the minor events of a new era, which would diminish the protagonist's significance. As for fighting against the Six Sages, in my eyes, all six are true sages. Would genuine sages engage in crude schemes and machinations like mortals, driven solely by self-interest and a desperate struggle for survival?
I do not wish for the sages in my writing to be so simplistic. Sages are boundless, their wisdom infinite. If they were to truly contend, which sage would emerge victorious, and which would fall?
Furthermore, the return of the three thousand divine demons from the Primordial Chaos and the Void would pose no threat to the sages. Sages are already invincible, detached from desire and beyond all limitations. Such supreme beings are beyond the comprehension of ordinary beings.
Thus, with no adversaries to fight and no desires to pursue, the protagonist's story has naturally reached its end.
If I were forced to continue, I could devise many ways to prolong the narrative, but none would enhance the perfection of the sage I have portrayed. Therefore, an ending is inevitable. Moreover, returning to reality, I do not wish to pad the content daily, betraying your hard-earned currency. Sages have their divine will, and humans have their conscience.
