The disintegration of spiritual force led to the momentous collapse of the great Cultivation World, a mighty era that had endured through millions of years of history.

After a thousand years, a lowly youth, who hailed from the Old Territory, toiled as a laborer for three years in the depths of the Wilderness. He then became an exception and obtained the opportunity to enter the Avalon Of Five Elements for further studies.

The author tried to revive the chapter again after chapter 700 by introducing a higher realm but in the end still it too late. I know that the author is not exactly proficient in ending the story as we can see from his previous popular work World of Cultivation, but the end for this novel is just simply miserable with too many loophole. It's not an ending, just probably this novel is not making him/her money anymore so it abruptly had to end. Even so, a proper closure of probably 5-6 chapter should be enough, not 1/3 chapter ending. With this kind of dedication, any new novel from him should be steered clear far far away. Once is fine, twice is pushing it. Alas, hope your health condition improves, dear author.
-
- Cultivation system and general power was actually pretty well thought out with decent explanations (mainly in the first half of the book)
- Pretty intense moments where you feel the sorrow or epicness of the scene
Excluding the ending, it does also have some cons, which are:-
- The romance is pretty lack luster and never really progresses past the point of the MC and Xueman eventually being okay with being teased by others about being in a relationship near the end, but neither ever really take a step into being in a relationship.
- The idea that because of the MCs hard work and supreme dedication, he is able to come up with new ideas to recreate ancient cultivation paths using his limited resources that no one else has been able to do in millions of years despite how incomparably more qualified and well equipped these other factions are. This is also identical to his other novels
The biggest con however, is that the novel is completely unresolved. The novel started off really strong, but towards the last quarter, I started to get this sinking feeling that it was going to end up exactly like it's predecessor (World of Cultivation or WoC), and I was right. The author often has short POVs from different characters, such as when trying to show an event from the perspective of a bystander, or as a means to foreshadow certain events in the story. However, exactly like WoC, the foreshadowings were ultimately meaningless because they led nowhere and instead created unaddressed expectations. One thing to note is that I stopped reading at chapter 687 and decided to peek at some of the reviews, eventually ending up reading a spoiler for how it ends.Excerpt from the last page:
Initially, people were still actively searching for the Assembly of Patriarchs and Chi Tong. However, as time went by, nobody could even find a single trace of them. The Assembly of Patriarchs had practically vanished from this world. In the meantime, Skyheart City, God Nation, and Jadeite Forest seemed to have coordinated some sort of self-imposed silence.
As the major players faded into silence, so did the stories that accompanied them. It was the end of an era.
Everyone had retreated into seclusion, and the clouds moved quietly with the wind. Perhaps a storm was brewing, or the sky was just waiting for the sun to rise. Maybe the world was just waiting for the dawn of a new era...
[The End]
Author's Note: I sincerely apologise that this story has to end this way. My health has been terrible these two years, and this is my personal issue to bear. To all my readers, I'm really sorry.
To summarize, the MC disappears, and all major factions and characters we care about also disappear.
Up until chapter 687, with only 28 chapters remaining, these are all the loose ends that I can think of off the top of my head that have yet to be resolved:
Many of these questions are introduced very early on in the book, and are often never mentioned again. From the author's footnote, he mentions that the story ends this way because of health issues, but this feels like a BS excuse to me, given that he did almost exactly the same thing with WoC, which was written 5 years prior to AFE. Although I read WoC at least a year ago, I do recall that many side characters and plot elements were forgotten, the final battle was completely anti-climatic, and the history of Zuo Mo's parents and his father's armor were forgotten. Did the author happen to have suffered health issues then, too? He could have easily gone back to rewrite the ending and flesh it out but instead chose to start another series and leave it in a worse state. Perhaps I'm being too harsh and he had more legitimate reasons that I don't know about, but I was not impressed.
The initial Blood Calamity arc really got my hopes up and I expected this to be an epic book, but even excluding the elements above that remained unanswered, you could see things slowly devolving around the chapters in the early 600s. There were too many things to resolve and too little progression with the plot considering how much of the book was left. Ai Hui's cultivation progress goes through huge ups and downs and spends about 100 chapters in a coma, and right around where I stopped, we spend a s*upid amount of time listening to the perspective of Chi Tong (the demon god) who I really didn't care about at this point. It got chaotic and awful, with meaningless filler perspectives of grandmasters doing nothing but considering everything happening to be "interesting" and random events leading me to ultimately give up.
- This novel, like World of Cultivation, is entertaining for like the first half, maybe 2/3 of the story. Then it goes horribly astray.
- At the current point of the novel, the MC is not even in half the chapters because the author has created such a convoluted mess of a cultivation path/story line that there is no true way forward that will satisfy readers.
- The release rate appears to be slowing, likely due to the mess the author has made of the plot.
- This novel is almost fully behind the Qidian paywall known as "premium".
In conclusion: under other circumstances, it might be worth reading, though likely will prove dissatisfying in the end due... more>>
