In 2015, with the two major works of "Immortal Rebellion" and "Seeking Demons", the popularity of Ergen reached an unprecedented height.
This year, he won the monthly ticket championship of the starting point for 10 consecutive months with a "I Want to Seal the Heavens", becoming the hottest writer of the year.
And this record was not equalized by Chendong until 2018!
That year was the peak year of Ergen and the beginning of his transformation...
The road to fame in the ear roots
In 2009, Ear Root, who had just dabbled in online literature, decided to publish his novel online.
At that time, it was the "mortal flow" fire, and the ear root, who had no creative clue, decided to follow the market heat and write his own "mortal flow" novel.
However, no matter how he imitated it, he could not write the essence of mortals, nor could he form his own unique creative style.
Until one day in November 2009, I was deeply immersed in the mud of creation and felt a deep exhaustion.
He began to accept his ordinariness, and he began to calm his own mentality, in which he became less impatient and less eager to make a profit.
He tried to write his emotional mentality into the book, and at the same time wrote a lot of thoughts about life.
Unexpectedly, it was such an ordinary and warm story, but it deeply touched the reader.
In the first year of the Immortal Rebellion, Wang Lin, who had avenged the destruction of the door, suddenly tired of the life of the Cultivation Realm, came to a small mountain village, chose to forget all the previous grievances and hatreds, and walked through his life ordinary.
He saw the change of the four seasons, saw the birth, old age, illness and death of mortals, and also saw the survival of the world, and felt the impermanence of life between one sorrow and one joy!
Finally, in a ruined temple, he looked at the rain dripping in the sky and suddenly felt the true meaning of life!
This is the famous god of "Immortal Reversal", and it is this story that has achieved the later ear root!
In an interview, Ergen once said that after the release of the Huafan chapter, the number of subscriptions to the novel suddenly doubled by more than ten times.
It was from here that the ear roots began to realize that they were going to be red.
In the following two years, with the solid and stable quality of works, "Immortal Reversal" frequently appeared on the popularity list of the starting point and became a banner in the starting point immortal.
The style of the ear root is also officially formed!
In 2012, after the end of "Immortal Reversal", Ergen has become the platinum god of a new round of starting points.
The pinnacle was unexpectedly cold
In 2012, with the ear root of the explosion of "Immortal Reversal", it was decided to write a more ambitious Xian Xia novel.
To this end, he spent two years of hard work, and finally wrote the well-deserved peak work of his life, "Seeking The Devil"!
In this book, he gives the devil a higher meaning.
It is no longer synonymous with evil, but an attitude to life, an ultimate pursuit!
As the book lover said, asking for the devil, asking for the devil, asking for a way, he is destined to twist and turn and desolate, cold and persistent.
Throughout the book, there is neither the blood of the waste wood counterattack, nor the happiness of the horizontal knife, but only endless sadness.
Su Ming, he woke up from the wilderness!
All his life he has been pursuing his own life, but in the end he finds that even his whole person is false.
Relatives, friends, grandfathers, it is like a big dream in a trance, waking up and dissipating instantly...
If "Immortal Rebellion" is the struggle of small people who are not willing to accept fate, then "Seeking Demons" is a story that a person dies, but lives forever in everyone's memory!
At the end of the novel, the sentient beings are overwhelmed.
Su Ming could choose to continue his own path, but he chose another path, using his own life to transform into a world and protect all sentient beings!
When incarnating the world, Su Ming walked in time for nearly ten million years.
He saw the White Spirit, saw the three wildernesses under the ancient tree, and also saw the Grandfather...
For thousands of years, he has been searching for traces of the past, but what he feels is unprecedented loneliness.
In the end, he dissipated his vitality and transformed into a world!
After Su Ming's death, Su Xuanyi woke up, Huzi woke up, and Grandpa also woke up.
They sometimes went crazy, sometimes called Su Ming's name, but they could no longer hear a response.
On the top of the mountain, a child asked the mother and father next to him, where is the father?
The woman replied slowly, "You close your eyes, and Daddy is by your side..."
In 2013, "The Devil" ended.
Ergen posted that he had never felt so depressed and desperate.
It's like doing something for years in a row, and suddenly there's no need to continue, and the loss overwhelms people like a tidal wave.
This novel of infinite sadness eventually became the peak of Ergen's writing emotions, but it was such a book that caused Ergen to suffer a huge blow!
Transformation after frustration
In 2012, in order to write "Seeking The Devil", Ergen honed his writing and devoted himself to creation.
But unexpectedly, this novel, into which he has devoted countless efforts, met with cold. Although it has repeatedly appeared on the list, the popularity is still not as good as "Immortal Reversal"!
At this time, the battered ear root decided to change his creative style.
So in 2014, he embarked on the shuangwen route and launched the book "I Want to Seal the Sky".
This fairy tale with the theme of the landing scholar chasing the road to the sealing of the heavens, mainly tells the story of the landing students, chasing the road of sealing the heavens, and cultivating into the supreme being in the world.
Once the novel was launched, it was popular throughout the Internet, not only won the starting point monthly ticket championship for 10 consecutive months, refreshing the record of the starting point's consecutive championships, but also made Ergen also climb to the top of the Forbes Literary List, becoming a veritable king of immortals.
The success of the market and the pursuit of readers have made Ergen more determined in its own transformation path!
In 2016, he released another humorous and funny fairy tale novel, "A Thought of Eternity".
The book has just received hundreds of thousands of tips, and even a film and television company has spent tens of millions of dollars to buy film and television rights.
Although it has achieved great success in terms of popularity, the reputation of Ergen's novels has begun to gradually collapse, and the quality of works has begun to shrink significantly!
In the past, his novels all had a breath of air, like Wang Lin, who was not willing to accept fate, su Ming, who pursued the ultimate, and their bodies all carried a kind of twist!
Although there is some slow heat in the early stage of the novel, it is absolutely explosive in the middle and late stages, like the three incarnations in "Immortal Reversal" and the incarnation world in "Seeking Demons", which are pure classics.
But unfortunately, these things will never be seen again!
From then on, he could no longer see the teenager who had endured for a hundred years to avenge blood and finally slaughtered the Teng family, nor could he ever hear Wang Lin's feelings about Xiu Zhen in the broken temple on a rainy night.
That Wang Lin, who had transformed into a mortal three times and had been washed away by the Daoist heart, and Su Ming, who had incarnated into the world and guarded all sentient beings, were all unconsciously and slowly walking away!
