Okay, here is the translation of the traditional Chinese content into English:

“Released on February 6, 2020, *Ten Thousand Clans* (萬族), the final chapter was written on January 31, 2021, bringing the story of Su Yu, the world of Su Yu, to a conclusion.”

“Nearly a year, over 8.3 million words, and the story has come to an end.”

“There were no new maps opened, no map belonging to the Lord of Time. If I continued, I could actually keep writing, but from the excitement of releasing the book initially, to the passionate blood-pumping in the middle, to the later exhaustion and confusion, I knew it was time to end it.”

“Besides, this is Su Yu’s story, the Lord of Time shouldn’t steal the spotlight anymore.”

“If he really has to appear, well, maybe it’ll be in the next book. Of course, the probability of a next book is low. Maybe one day I’ll want to write again, when my inspiration is depleted, maybe I’ll continue this legend of the Lord of Time. But the next book probably won’t be about this.”

“I said that even if it ends, it will end at its peak. It turns out we did it: Nine consecutive championships!”

“The annual overall champion of 2020, with over 70,000 average subscriptions on the main site at the time of completion. The game, animation, comic, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and audiobook rights have all been sold. As for whether we can wait for the day a successful adaptation happens, I don’t know. But, the achievements of *Ten Thousand Clans* still exceeded expectations, breaking many records, including the daily sales record. And it went from *High Martial* (高武) to *Ten Thousand Clans*. These are all honors given to me by my brothers and sisters.”

“Of course, there are many honors, and the achievements are great, but I have to say, the later writing indeed lacked passion. To quickly finish the book, many things were simplified.”

“I won’t make any excuses. My editor didn’t urge me to finish. They would have happily had me write for another three to five years. It was just that I was too tired, too exhausted, and with the arrival of my child, I was mentally and physically drained in the later stages. So, many small subplots were simplified, which is still a regret.”

“I also want to say that in order to maintain a high speed of updates, I had to simplify the construction of many characters. Actually, people like Wan Tiansheng (萬天聖), Lan Tian (藍天), and even Liu Wenyan (柳文彥), in my original plan, would have had some small daily routines, small stories, and small subplots to accompany their rise, but I shortened them all.”

“In short, *Ten Thousand Clans* created many miracles, even stronger than *High Martial*. However, the character development in the later stages of *Ten Thousand Clans* was not as extensive as that of *High Martial*, and I didn’t put as much effort into it as the previous book. I have to examine myself; it’s a bit regrettable.”

“The ending, Su Yu’s ending, was still within my imagination and didn’t deviate from the outline. Su Yu is tired, just like me. It’s time to rest. After resting, maybe it will be the beginning of the next story.”

“Ending at the peak, sleeping in invincibility, waiting for the next explosion and rise!”

“Without further ado, I once again thank all my fellow book lovers for their support, and also thank Qidian, Yuewen, and the editors for their support.”

“For the next book, I have no ideas or plans at the moment, but I may make some changes. I can’t say anything specific right now. When I have some ideas, I might post a separate chapter to chat about it.”

“I started writing urban novels, *Wealth* (財源) was pure urban, *High Martial* became semi-urban, and *Ten Thousand Clans* actually had nothing to do with urban. As for which category the next book will be… let’s talk about it in a few months. I don’t have any clues right now.”

“But there is a planned publishing period. I might rest for 4 to 6 months. If the new book is released, it should be after the New Year, sometime between May and July. I’ll post a separate chapter when it’s decided.”

“As for whether to write side stories for *Ten Thousand Clans*, I might write some. If I do, maybe I’ll write some stories about the Human Emperor (人皇) and others in ancient times, the specific origin of the Maoqiu (毛球), or even some stories about the Lord of Time.”

“Of course, I might also write some stories about female characters, such as Wu Lan (吳嵐) and Xingyue (星月), depending on how lazy I am.”

“Finally, I once again thank everyone for their support, thank you大佬 (da lao – big bosses/supporters) for your support, and thank you大佬 who have supported me through several books.”

“From *Wealth* in 2016 until now, in less than five years, I have gained a lot. I have a wife, a child, and bought a house. Now, I’m only missing one big goal: a healthy body. So, I’ll try to take care of some old problems during the break, so I have the energy to write the next book and the book after that, and also replenish my reserves. My foundation is depleted, and I need to recharge.”

“That’s all I’ll say. Thank you all!”

“See you in the next book, the next story!”

“Just like the last sentence in the completion speech of *High Martial*, continue:”

“*Ten Thousand Clans*, awesome!”

“Old Eagle (老鷹 – the author’s pen name), awesome!”

“All my brothers and sisters, awesome!”
