Hello, brothers and sisters! On this occasion of bidding farewell to the old year and ushering in the new, Wang Yu would like to wish everyone a happy new year, may all your wishes come true, and a prosperous Year of the Dog!

Thinking back to this day in 2008, I wrote the first word of Mortal's Journey: Immortal World in order to fulfill a dream of my own. Now a full decade has passed, and I have gone from being a thirty-year-old to a forty-year-old.

Wang Yu often sees messages from book fans saying that they have been following Mortal's Journey from high school until their children were born. While genuinely touched, I also have a lot to say to everyone.

Wang Yu initially wrote Mortal's Journey purely out of interest and never thought of becoming famous or establishing a career. It was not until I actually became an online writer that I realized how bumpy and difficult this road has been. If it weren't for the strong support of the vast number of book fans, I probably wouldn't have been able to go so far on my own, let alone continue to create the Immortal World篇 of Mortal's Journey. This is something Wang Yu never dared to imagine.

In fact, for me, the process of writing is like cultivating immortality.

Wang Yu, a mere mortal, just wants to diligently and practically walk a creative path that belongs to me. Although it is full of hardships, it is also full of various opportunities.

And for me, the greatest opportunity in writing is meeting a group of enthusiastic, simple, witty, and kind book fans. It is you who have repeatedly spurred me to move forward on this thorny road!

Now the Immortal World篇 is gradually getting on track, and the contributions of brothers and sisters are indispensable. Every vote and every message you leave is reminding Wang Yu not to forget the original intention!

Wang Yu will treat it like the first part of Mortal's Journey, as a hard cultivation, a journey of the Great Dao of life that you and I share.

No matter whether the road ahead is smooth or not, as long as you are there, Wang Yu will continue to walk, no matter how difficult it is, and give everyone and myself a satisfactory answer.

Thank you all very much!
