"Thank you to all the readers for your companionship and support along the way. The achievements of Shrouding the Sky are not just my honor, but everyone's honor."

"Due to personal reasons, I will be leaving Zhidian Novel Network to publish a new book on Zongheng Book Alliance."

Finally, thank you again for your support along the way! Thank you so much!

"Editor-in-Chief! Something terrible has happened!"

Editor-in-Chief Cheng rushed into the editor-in-chief's office in a panic.

"What's the matter that you're so flustered? I always teach you to stay calm in the face of important matters. Why are you still so flustered when something happens? Tell me slowly." Wang Xiang leaned back in his chair, picked up the porcelain teacup on the table, and took a sip.

"Editor-in-Chief, Xu An has switched jobs!"

"Pfft!" Before he could even swallow his tea, it sprayed all over Editor-in-Chief Cheng's face.

"What did you say? Xu An switched jobs?" Wang Xiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Editor-in-Chief Cheng wiped the tea off his face and nodded, saying, "Yes, Xu An has switched to Zongheng Book Alliance. He also posted an update at the end of 'Covering the Sky'."

"Damn it!" Wang Xiang cursed. "That ingrate! We at Qidian Novels have wasted our time training him!"

Standing to the side, facing the furious and cursing editor-in-chief, Editor-in-Chief Cheng thought to himself: What does their success have to do with us? It's all because they write good books.

After unleashing a furious tirade, Wang Xiang calmed himself down.

"You just said he posted an update at the end of Shrouding the Sky?" Wang Xiang asked.

"Yes, he said he went to Zongheng Book Alliance and his new book is already ready," Editor-in-Chief Cheng said truthfully.

"Damn it!" Wang Xiang couldn't help but curse, "Immediately have someone block this post he made."

"Okay." Editor-in-Chief Cheng turned and left quickly, leaving Wang Xiang alone in the office, sulking.

"Damn it! You ingrate! You're a complete ingrate!"

"I'd like to see what you can achieve after you switch to Zongheng Book Alliance."

"It's utterly foolish. Zongheng Book Alliance isn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of our Endpoint Novels."

"If you don't get good results, let's see if you'll slink back home with your tail between your legs..."

-

Fan Xiaochen, a die-hard fan of "Covering the Sky", has been keeping a close eye on Xu An's latest developments.

Sure enough, a notification suddenly popped up on my phone.

Upon seeing the latest news about "Covering the Sky", he quickly clicked to take a look.

After reading the entire article, I exclaimed in shock: "Holy crap! That old rascal, Chasing Wind, actually switched jobs!"

He was about to take a screenshot when he found that the chapter page displayed a recognition error. He refreshed the page and clicked in again, only to find that the page was gone.

"It was deleted by the official website of the Endpoint Novel."

He hurriedly opened the Sky Forum.

As an intelligence agency in the online literature circle, news of Xu An's job change must have been circulating on the forums.

As soon as I opened it, I found that the top post was about Xu An changing jobs.

He quickly clicked in and saw that Xu An had changed jobs.

He left a comment: "Everyone knows the quality of Zhuifeng Laozhe's books. I'm going to download Zongheng Book Alliance right away and look forward to Zhuifeng Laozhe's new book."

Faced with Xu An's job change, Qidian Novel Network had no way to deal with it. The only solution was to delete Xu An's latest post at the end of "Covering the Sky" in an attempt to deceive the fans of "Covering the Sky" and make them unaware that Xu An had switched jobs.

Under the arrangement of Editor-in-Chief Hong Bo, the Zongheng Book Alliance Operations Department also invested capital.

In addition to releasing the news on the Sky Forum, the news was also released on the official short video platform of Zongheng Book Alliance.

They even spent money to buy a trending topic on Weibo, although it was only at the bottom of the trending list.

In addition, the Zongheng Book Alliance APP's opening screen prominently displays the words "Battle Through the Heavens" by Xu An. Clicking on it reveals a brief synopsis: "This is a world of Dou Qi, devoid of flashy magic, forbidden zones, and dark turmoil. There is only Dou Qi, cultivated to its peak!" (The young hero, Chasing the Wind, presents his brand-new fantasy masterpiece!)

If someone clicks on the author's page at this moment, they will see the author's biography below "Chasing the Wind".

The only author at the Supreme Hall of Fame level in Zongheng Book Alliance, the founder of the fantasy genre in modern online novels, and author of "Covering the Sky".

Throughout the entire Zongheng Book Alliance, only the pen name of "Chasing the Wind Youth" is in gilded font; all the others, whether they are top-tier authors or other writers, are in black regular script.

It's clear that Zongheng Book Alliance truly values ​​Xu An and has invested heavily in him.

They even saw him as a means for Zongheng Book Alliance to restore its former glory.

To support the promotion of Zongheng Book Alliance, Xu An also opened his own short video account and Weibo account.

He released personal videos to promote his new book on both platforms.

"Boss, this is amazing! That old rascal's influence is incredible!"

An employee from the technical department handed a printed data spreadsheet to the head of the technical department.

"Holy crap!"

The head of the tech department's eyes widened in shock. "The total number of new user registrations in the last three days has exceeded 850,000!"

"I'll send this good news to the editor-in-chief right away." The head of the technical department ran off quickly with the data spreadsheet in hand.

When Hongbo saw that the number of new user registrations in the past three days had exceeded 800,000, he burst into laughter.

Bringing Xu An to Zongheng Book Alliance was the best decision he ever made.

Many die-hard fans who love reading "Covering the Sky" downloaded Zongheng Book Alliance and registered accounts as soon as they learned that Zhuifeng Laozei had switched to Zongheng Book Alliance and was about to release a new book.

Sky Forum.

Many people are discussing Xu An's new book, "Battle Through the Heavens".

The synopsis of "Battle Through the Heavens" has been released, and even just the synopsis has sparked heated discussions among them.

That's the benefit of fame.

If you're just a struggling author, no matter how eloquent your synopsis is, nobody will pay attention.

But if it's a top-tier author, even if the synopsis is only a few words long, readers will still buy it.

This is why countless struggling writers want to become famous.

Once you become famous, even if what you write is utter garbage, there will always be someone who will taste its filth.

Yunshan Town.

Xu An, sitting in front of the computer, glanced at the time in the lower left corner and then clicked "Publish".

[Ding! A new chapter of "Battle Through the Heavens" that you are following has been released.]

[Ding! A new chapter of "Battle Through the Heavens" that you are following has been released.]

【...】

Xu An had already informed Hong Bo that the new book would be released with a first issue of 100,000 words.

There's only one reason for doing this: to speed up the pace and complete the task more quickly.

"Old rascal, I'm here! Let me see how your new book is going!"

After receiving the notification on his phone, Fan Xiaochen immediately opened the Zongheng Book Alliance APP and turned to the first page.
