"Holy shit… could it be him?"
In that moment, everyone became excited.
"No way, you guys are insane. You even guessed him?"
"That seems impossible. That legend disappeared years ago."
"But aside from him, I really can't think of anyone else."
"Now that you say it… damn, I'm starting to think it might really be him too."
"My god, don't tell me that super god is making a comeback."
"If that's true, the web novel world is about to face another earthquake."
"Damn it, who exactly are you guys talking about?"
"Hey, don't rush. Those who know, know. If you don't, you probably won't get it anyway."
"Yeah, if you don't even know this super god, you probably shouldn't be in this circle."
"Is it really him?"
"OP, I'm so excited I'm about to scream."
"Damn it, who is it?! Just say it already!"
"Urgent! Someone, please tell us who the OP is talking about!"
…
Aspiring Writers Group.
"Holy crap, big news, big news!"
Jiangcheng Yinan shouted in the group chat.
"What big news? Bigger than 'Do not bully the poor youth'?"
"Of course. Way bigger."
"Damn, there's something bigger than that? Alright, you've got my attention."
"Someone on Feilong is guessing that Nirvana is White Boss's alt account."
"Pff "
"Jiangcheng Yinan, stop joking. White Boss hasn't appeared in three years."
"It's real. A lot of people on Feilong are starting to suspect it. They think White Boss is the most likely."
"No way. Why him of all people?"
"I don't know, but their arguments actually sound convincing."
"Let's ask the editor later and see who this Nirvana really is."
…
Dogblood Group.
"Wuhen, who do you think Nirvana is?"
"Not sure."
"Could it be… him?"
"You mean that guy?"
"Yeah. It's not just me. People on Feilong are already suspecting it."
"I can't even imagine… if he really came back, what kind of upheaval it would cause."
…
Cabbage Group.
"Jiangshan, damn it, Master is back!"
"What? What did you just say?"
"Jiangshan, seriously, how many masters do you even have?"
"Holy crap… you're serious?"
"Go check Feilong."
…
White Jade Hall Fan Group.
"Brothers, brothers, stop lurking! Get up, get up! Huge news!"
"What's all the noise? What huge news? Ever since White Boss left, there hasn't been any big news. Don't tell me it's another meetup? Damn you guys, last time you promised girls, but it was all dudes. Not that hanging with bros is bad, but at least bring a few girls next time."
"Forget the girls, wake up! This is a deep-sea bomb-level announcement!"
"Alright, alright, I'm awake. Stop spamming. What's going on? Is there news about White Boss?"
"That's exactly what we're here to talk about."
"Holy shit, seriously? There's news about White Boss?"
"I'm here! I'm here! Where is he? Where's White Boss?"
"Same here, I'm here too! Hurry up, what news?"
"Alright, don't rush. Let me explain. You've all read 'Sword Breaks the Heavens', right?"
"Yeah."
"What do you think?"
"Do you even need to ask? It's insanely hype. That Nirvana is incredible. If my loyalty didn't already belong to White Boss, I'd already be his diehard fan."
"Don't you think there's something off about this Nirvana?"
"What do you mean?"
"You guys are seriously dense. Do you really think Nirvana is a newbie?"
"Well… that's not the point. Most 'new' authors nowadays are actually veterans using alt accounts. Nirvana is probably the same."
"Fine. Then have you thought about whose alt account he is?"
"What are you getting at? I don't get it."
"Alright, I'll spell it out. Think about it, how many people on Lingdian can write something like 'Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west. Do not bully the poor youth?"
"And have you thought about what the name 'Nirvana' means?"
At first, the White Jade Hall fans didn't understand.
But then, as it clicked, their blood started boiling.
"My god… I get it. I finally get it. It's White Boss. It has to be White Boss!"
In an instant, the entire fan group erupted.
…
Back to Feilong Jianghu.
"Oh come on, so that's who you were talking about? White Boss? I'll bet anything it's definitely not him."
"I agree. White Boss hasn't appeared in three years. No way he suddenly comes back like this."
"Exactly. If White Boss came back, why would he use an alt account?"
"Yeah, with White Boss's original account, any new book would instantly top the charts."
"And besides, this guess has no solid evidence."
"White Boss only writes urban noob-style novels. Why would he suddenly write fantasy?"
"Sigh, you guys are definitely wrong. White Boss already earns tens of millions a year. Why would he bother writing web novels again? He's probably out enjoying life."
"I feel like this is just hype. Nirvana is impressive, but he's still far from White Boss. Let him first surpass White Boss's status on Lingdian before we even compare."
"I agree, probably just hype. If only White Boss would say something himself."
Although the speculation post seemed convincing, many people still didn't believe it.
However, as some dug deeper, more compelling analyses emerged.
A vice moderator with the ID "Liu Er" posted:
"If Nirvana is not White Boss, I'll delete my account and never return to Feilong."
Liu Er first stated that he had long suspected Nirvana was White Boss, but hadn't said it until now. After seeing "Do not bully the poor youth," he became certain.
"Let's start with that line.
'When the world slanders me, insults me, mocks me, belittles me, how should I respond?
Just endure it, yield to it, let it be, avoid it, tolerate it, respect it, ignore it, and after a few years, you'll see what becomes of it.'
Have you all forgotten? Back then, that line awakened countless people on Feilong.
And now, 'Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west. Do not bully the poor youth' appears.
Isn't this just another version of that same idea?
You might argue that the styles are different. One is tolerant and broad-minded, the other more hot-blooded. But if you've read White Boss's 'The Song of a Man', you wouldn't say that. 'A man should kill': that line shows his boldness. A true man knows when to endure and when to explode.
And tell me how many people can write lines of such ambition, lines that could be remembered for generations? Not many in web novels. Not even many in all of Huaguo literature.
That's the first point.
Second, let's talk about writing style. Some say White Boss only writes urban noob-style, so he couldn't write fantasy. But actually, he once wrote a fantasy novel. It failed and was dropped, but it still exists as a reference.
In that work, his style had already begun evolving from pure noob-style to a blend of simple and literary.
Now look at Nirvana's style. It seems simple at first glance, but it has depth and a literary touch. It's hard to categorize.
Compare the two, and it's obvious: 'Sword Breaks the Heavens' is an upgraded version of White Boss's earlier attempt, a perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication.
This hybrid style is extremely advanced. It suggests that over the past three years, White Boss has mastered it.
Third, the pen name.
Nirvana.
What does it mean?
It comes from the sacred phoenix, which is reborn through fire. It symbolizes rebirth, renewal, and reaching a higher state.
Now think about it.
Three years ago, White Boss left after failing with a fantasy novel.
Three years later, an author named Nirvana appears.
Doesn't that seem meaningful?
So in conclusion, while I have no concrete proof, I am certain:
Nirvana is The Number One White Under Heaven.
And The Number One White Under Heaven is Nirvana.
As for why he's using an alt account, perhaps it's due to the shadow of his past failure.
But a legend is still a legend.
After three years
He has returned."
