Assisting the male protagonist to become a god: The first spiritualist

"…That's how it is."

Seeing Fu Sheng getting more and more angry, Qiqi spoke again: "Actually, I didn't plagiarize everything. I changed the original novel."

"What do you mean?" Fu Sheng asked.

"There is no character called Yan Su in the novel I picked up. The original protagonist is Jun Wuchi." Qiqi said, "The content of the novel is about the struggle between Jun Wuchi and the demons. The notebook I read at that time was all from Jun Wuchi's perspective."

Fu Sheng opened his eyes slightly.

'But after I finished watching it, I felt that there were too few plot conflicts. Jun Wuchi, as the protagonist, only tracked down the demons and the murderer who killed his mother from beginning to end. I felt that the plot was too flat, so I created a new protagonist based on this background, which is Yan Su. '

"You know, if the protagonist changes, the content must be changed, so in fact, in "Becoming a God", I just copied some of the background and settings in it. Many plots are actually my own ideas. Although some of the content in it is from that notebook, most of it is created by myself."

Fu Sheng sat back in his chair, suddenly feeling very tired, and said weakly: "So, you just changed someone else's novel into your own version, not only that, but you also changed the protagonist into a villain?"

"...Yes," Qiqi said.

"If I were the original author, I would be so angry that I would die, you know?" Fu Sheng said. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Did Yan Su's natal sword Qian Qiu Xue originally belong to Jun Wu Chi?"

"How did you know?" Qiqi's voice was a little surprised. "That sword was left to Jun Wuchi by his mother. According to the original notes, it was buried in the mountains by his mother. When I was writing the novel, I thought the setting of the sword was very good, so I changed Qianqiuxue into a sword in the secret realm of Xuanxian Sect, and then let the male protagonist obtain it through experience."

'...'

Fu Sheng closed his eyes, a fire simmering in his heart, and the words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Do you have a physical body?"

'……What's wrong?'

"I want to kill you." Fu Sheng gritted his teeth.

As early as when facing Ying Li, Fu Sheng had a feeling of absurdity and guilt.

Now I finally understand what's going on.

She always felt it was strange that Jun Wuchi, as a villain, was set up to be too powerful.

The position of the young master of the Immortal Alliance, the dark purple pupils, the Primordial Pearl, the mythical beast Fire Phoenix, and the Scarlet Netherworld Fire...

These things, no matter from which aspect, seem to be the standard equipment of the protagonist.

Moreover, Jun Wuchi's parents, whether it is the violent and abusive love between Ying Li and Jun Yuwei, or their identities and backgrounds, are indeed like the stories that the protagonist's parents should have.

"What about the Red Lotus? Could it be that the Red Lotus Karma Fire also belonged to Jun Wuchi and you stole it and then gave it to Yan Su?" Fu Sheng asked.

"No. The Red Lotus Karma Fire was my own idea, and the Unfallen Secret Realm was also written by me." Qiqi said, "I didn't copy much..."

"Don't try to justify yourself." Fu Sheng interrupted with a cold face, "Where is the Thousand Machines Tower? Did you copy the Thousand Machines Tower?"

'...'

Qiqi's voice lost confidence again, "The Thousand Machines Tower is indeed in the original notes..."

Before Fu Sheng could get angry, Qi Qi added: "But it is not a copy exactly. I did not change the first to fifth floors of the Thousand Machines Tower, but the settings of the sixth and seventh floors are my own ideas."

Fu Sheng suppressed his anger and asked, "What was the original plot of the Thousand Machines Tower like?"

"The original plot was that Jun Wuchi broke into the Thousand Machines Tower, and then from the first level, he fought his way to the top floor, and then got the opportunity from the old man Qianji and realized the domain." Qiqi said.

"So after you changed it, it became that Yan Su broke through to the top level and got the opportunity to comprehend the realm?" Fu Sheng asked.

"...Yes," Qiqi replied.

Fu Sheng rubbed his temple. No wonder the man in white robe said that it was Yan Su who snatched Jun Wuchi’s opportunity.

"What was the original name of the novel? It shouldn't be "Becoming a God", right?" Fu Sheng suddenly asked.

If the original plot was about Jun Wuchi hunting down the demons and avenging his mother, then it would have nothing to do with becoming a god.

"The original novel had no name." Qiqi said, "I said, when I picked it up, it was a notebook, and the contents were all handwritten in traditional Chinese characters. The form of the notebook content was actually not a novel, but more like a diary. It was actually very difficult for me to change it into a novel. If you want to put it nicely, you can call it an adaptation."

Perhaps knowing that Fu Sheng would find it hard to tolerate his plagiarism, Qiqi would try to make excuses for himself every two sentences.

"Adaptation?" Fu Sheng scolded, "Did you get the original author's permission? You just adapted it?"

'To be honest, I did look for the original author, but the notebook was too old and looked very simple, and there was no name on it. I took the notebook and went to the village near the woods, looking for people one by one, asking if anyone had lost it or if they knew who it belonged to, but no one admitted it. That place is very remote, and the people living nearby said that no one has been to that forest all year round. If I hadn't been lost, I wouldn't have accidentally walked into it. '

Seeing that Fu Sheng didn't believe him, Qiqi said, "What I said is true! My family is well off, and I really don't need that little money! I really think the background and settings in the notebook are interesting, so I wanted to adapt it and rewrite a story. I also want to get the original author's consent, but I can't find the original author, I really can't find him!"

"Then you can't just adapt it and send it out, how is that different from plagiarism?" Fu Sheng asked.

Qiqi's voice became timid: "... This is indeed my fault. After the novel was published, I also thought that if the original author found me, I would admit it and apologize to him publicly, and then compensate him. I really think that the characters and settings of the notebook are very good, so I couldn't help but want to adapt it and write a protagonist in my mind to get recognition from readers. Even if the original author came to me and asked me to give him all the royalties, it would be fine. I really didn't do it for money."

'But I have been publishing it for so long, and the novel "Becoming a God" has become so popular. I didn't even change the names of some of the original characters, so that the owner of the notebook could see that I rewrote his book, but no one contacted me. Gradually, I thought that maybe the owner of the notebook had passed away, or he was old and didn't look at the Internet much, so he didn't know about the novel "Becoming a God". '

Fu Sheng listened, she didn't know how to describe her current mood, 'What happened next? Since you didn't do it for money, but just wanted to write a good book, why did you write it like that later? '

The novel "Becoming a God" is really great in the early stages, both the characters and the writing are very attractive, but in the later stages, the logic begins to collapse and many lines become a mess.

"That's not what I wanted to write!" Qiqi's tone suddenly became a little excited, "It's the content of the novel that I have been changing myself!"
