Chapter 1397: Chapter 1158: Aspiring to the Pinnacle of Qin Continent’s Literary World

Three minutes left until July arrives, and although it’s nighttime in Qin Continent, netizens show no signs of sleepiness!

The whole internet is buzzing!

“Will the old rascal’s ranking advance again?”

“The bets are on!”

“Rank 11 is Lu Yang!”

“Qin Continent’s number one author!”

“If Chu Kuang gets promoted, Lu Yang will drop a rank!”

“Could it be that the title of Qin Continent’s top author is about to change hands?”

“Go, old rascal!”

“How can you cheer for the old rascal? Did you forget what he’s done to us?”

“Let’s treat each matter separately.”

“A thousand times he wrecks me, yet I love him like my first crush!”

“Look, quickly!”

“It’s out now!”

“The suspense is gone.”

“Let’s congratulate Qin Continent’s top author on welcoming a new ruler!”

“Chu Kuang, you old rascal!”

…

In minutes, the updates rolled out!

When the rankings refreshed, everyone saw Chu Kuang’s position successfully advance, taking the 11th spot on the Blue Star Author Rankings!

Lu Yang, who was previously in 11th place, was squeezed down to 12th.

Perhaps the sci-fi author ranked 13th could deeply empathize with Lu Yang’s feelings.

Because just months ago, Chu Kuang had bumped him from 12th to 13th place.

Meanwhile.

The media, armed with prepared articles, couldn’t wait to release the news!

“Chu Kuang Topped Qin Continent!”

“Qin Continent’s Top Author Crown Changes Hands!”

“Chu Kuang, Qin Continent’s Number One Author!”

“Chu Kuang Advances in Ranking, Just One Step Away from Breaking into the Top Ten!”

“The Harry Potter Series Sparks Frenzy, Chu Kuang Reclaims Fame with This Masterpiece!”

“Chu Kuang’s Speedy Ranking Advance Stuns the Industry!”

“Among Blue Star’s Top 20 Authors, Only Chu Kuang Continues His Meteoric Rise!”

…

Silver Blue Books.

The company erupted in jubilation!

“Chu Kuang, the old rascal, truly deserves to be our Silver Blue pillar of strength!”

“We did it!”

“Chu Kuang has become Qin Continent’s top author; from now on, Silver Blue Books is rightfully and undeniably the number-one publisher in Qin Continent!”

“Chu Kuang single-handedly holds up an army!”

“Today, countless booksellers are ordering Chu Kuang’s older novels!”

“The title of Qin Continent’s top author has sparked intense interest among those who haven’t read his previous works.”

“Let’s churn out promotional campaigns for all his older books!”

“I have a feeling that, within two years, the old rascal could break into the top ten—he’s not just about the Harry Potter series!”

…

The Qin Continent literary circle.

Authors reached a consensus.

“Our Qin Continent has a new king!”

“From now on, Chu Kuang will be the one at the helm of Qin Continent’s literary scene.”

“We greet the new king’s ascension!”

“Chu King?”

“Hahahaha, Chu King hasn’t unified the world—shouldn’t it be Qin King?”

“Let’s not overstep with Qin King claims.”

“Emperor Qin Shi Huang swept across lands and unified everything; without such accomplishments, who dares claim Qin King?”

Alright.

Whether he’s the Chu King or Qin King, it’s undeniable that Chu Kuang has ascended to the pinnacle of Qin Continent’s literary world.

…

Still in Qin Continent.

Inside a certain villa.

Looking at the updated rankings, Lu Yang sighed deeply. He fell just short of luck.

But it’s okay.

His new book is almost finished.

In the near future, he’s determined to reclaim his 11th rank!

No.

He wants to break into the top ten!

No authors from Qin Continent have ever made it into the top ten!

If he accomplishes it, the brief history of being surpassed by Chu Kuang will be forgotten by everyone.

Just wait!

I’ll return!

…

In various continents.

Though fellow authors had long anticipated Chu Kuang’s ranking surge, they were still full of sentiments!

“It happened, as expected.”

“He advanced again in less than half a year, didn’t he?”

“Yes, it’s been half a year, but in that time he wrote a three-million-word book!”

“So fast!”

“The competition is intense!”

“He completely crushed Lu Yang!”

“Among the top 20 authors, everyone else’s rankings stayed put—only he kept climbing, knocking down everyone ahead of him one by one!”

“This guy is bound to break into the top ten eventually.”

“No doubt about it.”

“Given his energy for writing, while others finish one book, he’s likely completed two or three!”

Amidst the amazement.

Many Blue Star authors sent congratulatory messages through their accounts, showing goodwill towards Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang is like a whirlwind in the literary world!

With the storm he has kicked up, he has already taken down two of Blue Star’s top authors in succession—the future seems boundlessly bright for him!

In the literary scene, many have considered forging ties with him.

…

Zhong Continent.

Several authors in the top 10 rankings had a private chat group. While it was usually quiet, today was exceptionally lively.

“He’s climbed another rank.”

“He’s officially gotten a ticket to challenge the top ten.”

“Old Xu’s position looks precarious.”

“Haha.”

“This is just the beginning.”

“He’s only reached rank 11; there’s no telling if he can hold steady there.”

“True.”

“I talked with Lu Yang last night. His new book is almost done—he shared some sneak peeks, and it looks pretty sharp.”

“Let them duke it out.”

“I, Old Xu, am the gatekeeper of the top ten. Every rank in the top ten may seem close, but advancing even one position is exponentially more challenging.”

Chu Kuang is like a catfish.

He’s stirring up the waters of Blue Star’s entire literary world!

…

At home.

Lin Yuan received congratulations from Jin Mu and the Chairman, and his family was thrilled as well.

“Rank 11 on Blue Star, rank 1 in Qin Continent!”

“Lin Yuan’s friend is truly impressive!”

“Absolutely, Chu Kuang has always been our Silver Blue Books’ uncrowned king, sustaining the performance of multiple departments.”

“Brother, keep up the hard work.”

“I’ve been working hard all along.”

“Woof!”

“Here, have some canned food.”

Lin Yuan successfully bribed Antarctica, who might have leaked secrets.

Besides Jin Mu and the Chairman, Antarctica also knew his secret.

After all, Lin Yuan didn’t avoid Antarctica while writing.

With Antarctica appeased.

His sister suddenly added with anticipation:

“Currently, the most important rankings are authors and painting—Chu Kuang rose a rank on the author list, but the painting rankings remain the same. However, I saw rumors online that the Blue Star film rankings will soon be out. As one of Blue Star’s officially recognized artistic categories, aside from music, Lin Yuan has made a good number of movies. There’s a chance he might rank, maybe even secure a decent spot.”

Film rankings?

One of the most important artistic classifications!

Over the years, Blue Star has always discussed the “Ten Great Arts”:

Literature, music, film, painting, calligraphy, sculpture, theater, dance, architecture, and games.

Of course, this is just a popular belief.

The inclusion of games and calligraphy is often debated.

Especially games, which are a recently added category that the Literature and Art Association may not acknowledge.

Still.

Film ranks as one of the major artistic categories that the Literature and Art Association undoubtedly recognizes.

It’s worth noting.

Despite releasing numerous lists, the most prestigious rankings are undoubtedly in these forms of art recognized by the people of Blue Star.

Mom remarked, “The significance of the film rankings might even rival that of literature and painting.”

Big Yaoyao chimed in:

“On the contrary, the importance of rankings like those for dance and games might diminish. While they’re broadly discussed as major arts, games are too commercialized, and dance feels less impactful. In the future, the truly top-tier arts rankings will still focus on music, painting, literature, and film, the mainstream arts spanning Blue Star.”

Film rankings!

Listening to his family’s discussion, Lin Yuan, still undecided about his next steps after completing the Harry Potter series, suddenly found his direction.

PS: “Godfather of Entertainment” focused on writing novels, “Entertainment Forever” explored directing, “Entertainment Empire” tackled acting. This one primarily deals with music but touches on multiple fields, blending the content of previous works. Moving forward, let’s delve into the film trajectory more systematically.
