Author's Q&A (1)
Q: Where are we at, in terms of the narrative?
A: We entered the main story.
Q: Is the Surpassing Radiant Saber actually faster than light, or is it a metaphor?
A: Since it jumps through space, it can arguably surpass light. Just consider it a metaphor.
Q: Could a cultivator in Nascent Soul Grand Perfection use the best dharma treasure of the Black Ghost Valley to be as strong as a cultivator in Heavenly Being?
A: That’s probably the limit.
Q: Will we see other factions and demon beasts that ascended outside of the three great factions and the Sea Dragon Tribe?
A: They are not as important, so we might not see a lot of details, but we might see a little more of them?
Q: How many chapters can you write in a day?
A: That’s a Tremendous spoiler;;
Q: Are there pills that can change your physical gender in the upper realms?
A: There are a lot of Cultivation Methods that can change your gender. Pills that can do so are sometimes made by some enthusiasts.
Q: When will the centipede get a human form?
A: When it reaches the Nascent Soul.
Q: You previously stated that you initially assigned literary genres to the seven transmigrators. What are they?
A: Kim Young-hoon - classical wuxia
Jeon Myeong-hoon - classical xianxia
Kang Min-hee - apocalypse
Oh Hyun-seok - healing
Kim Yeon - thriller&gore&suspense
Oh Hye-seo - eastern romance fantasy
Seo Eun-hyeon - infinite loop
BlueMangoAde’s Note: these genres do not necessarily apply to the actual characters of RToC. These were just initially assigned genres, after all.
Q: Why is the arm that was recently attached to Eun-hyeon by the Mad Lord so weak? Was it just roughly made to experiment with the Formless Sword?
A: In the eyes of the Mad Lord, Eun-hyun is just a bug, so he thought the bug would be grateful to have what amounts to a bigger limb. He did not realize that the bug can fire invisible beams to kill Nascent Realm cultivators.
Q: I am curious about the age of the transmigrators.
A: This should come up in the work eventually, but I don’t think age matters much in xianxia.
Q: Are there no beings that are very powerful from birth? Do the True Immortals start from the Qi Refining as well, or were they divine from birth?
A: There are beings that are born at the Minor and the Middle Boundary level, but nobody is born as a true immortal… Well, actually, there are beings that are born at that level, but they are mindless and more or less inanimate.
Q: Why is the Mad Lord so sweet?
A: Seo Hweol and the Mad Lord are the characters I showered with most affection…
Q: I am curious about the power balance of the world of RToC. Yuan Li in Nascent Soul was able to maintain an advantage against hundreds of Core Formation cultivators. Does this apply in higher realms as well? Or does the difference get even bigger?
A: In the first place, Yuan Li is a somewhat exceptional Nascent Soul cultivator, so he’s multiple times stronger than equivalent cultivators. The Core Formation cultivators that were left behind were really poor quality and weak, and Yuan Li’s cultivation method itself specializes at massacring weaker beings… There are multiple reasons Yuan Li was able to overpower hundreds of Core Formation cultivators, but a normal Early Nascent Soul Cultivator can be defeated by a hundred Core Formation Cultivators fighting a guerilla war. At any rate, the difference between stages get bigger as it usually does in xianxia.
Q: Is the centipede male or female??? This is very very important.
A: It’s male..;;;
Q: What is the reason Seo Eun-hyeon ignored and destroyed the black castle in his twelfth regression?
A: From his perspective, it’s just a white elephant…(burden/source of trouble)
Q: Can pills only be made with humans and demons as ingredients in RToC? Are there no pills made with plants like other xianxia?
A: Human pills are more common in the Head Realm because resources are scarce. Other places have a lot of human pills as well, but it’s not as common as it is in the Head Realm.
TranslatingNovice: This is a Q&A translated by another member of our discord community, BlueMangoAde! They say if Resnut is the right minister then BlueMangoAde is the left minister. Both are a great help in maintaining the accuracy and quality of this great work by the great author Tremendous (did you get the pun?). A round of applause for BlueMangoAde!
