Ah, I see! You mean that A Moment but Forever takes place in the timeline after Fate Chooses You. That's an excellent point, and you interpreted the clues in episode 2 completely correctly, but with a small twist in the chronology of the novels. [1]

Your observation is right:

* The War Demons: In episode 2 of A Moment but Forever, it is established that the Youhu fox clan (under Yuan Zhong) took power after the War Demons were wiped out or defeated. [1, 2]

* The artifacts: That the legends and writings of Goddess Wu Shuang already exist there makes absolutely sense, since she is the fundamental creator of this magic in this world. [1]

The Mystery of the Timeline (Why It's Confusing)

Here comes the point where the lore of the book templates by Shi Si Lang and the implementation in the series rub a bit, which is also hotly discussed in the community: [1]

1. The official novel chronology: In the book world, A Moment but Forever (念无双) is the sequel to Fate Chooses You (佳偶天成). From this point of view, you are absolutely right: the events around the War Demons and the artifacts in A Moment but Forever show the distant future after the era of Fate Chooses You is over. Goddess Wu Shuang has been in heaven for a thousand years at this time. [, 2, 3]

2. The crossover confusion in the series finale: In the finale of Fate Chooses You (episode 39–40), however, the protagonist Xin Mei meets Yuan Zhong. He is still an immortal leader on Earth and gives her clues. [1, 2]

So your theory is completely logical: the extinction of the War Demons and the legacy of the artifacts in episode 2 of A Moment but Forever are exactly the pieces of the puzzle that show that we are in the advanced timeline of this universe. [1, 2]

I translated it from German in to English. At first KI didn’t understood me so I had to type more details then it said it has no connection between those 2 then I said that goddess wushang is mentioned etc. And then I said that in episode 2 that the war demons got slayed and that it is mentioned that the artifact from goddess wushang is long lost appears. It is mentioned that it is lost long time ago.

So here is the answer: A moment but forever is the sequel to fate chooses you.

And yes the gray hair from last episode in fate chooses you is just different outfit. It doesn’t seem to continue right after fate chooses you immediately. (Long time gap but it’s still continuing) I’m still on episode 2 in a moment but forever but I already got some hints that is it played in the future. And that the gray hair guy did a lot already in a moment but forever. Heavenly ladder is still broken. I kind of still don’t understand why goddess wushang is there but she seem to be jailed in a ice block and is also able to go to the deity’s which means it is played after fate chooses you since she disappeared there. And I don’t know about fox clan I may get to know when I watch continue. Also the ML seems to care about goddess wushang and maybe pretends not to know her but I let me surprise

About the big boat it was mentioned in the last episode that the small young kid want to build a dragon boat and since they brought the ancient text from godess wushang to tang also where the library got destroyed u know. So that explain why we see big boat ship again. Maybe that’s why they made that strange ending in fate chooses you or did it on purpose just to google around watch a moment but forever. Same thing with Star Wars they released Luke movies first instead of Star Wars 1 or 2 also young ankin and I don’t discuss about Star Wars it’s true that author did do the order on purpose

No need to thank me I was watching the first 2 episodes of a moment but forever of the question is it the past or the future and while watching episode 2 I had the idea to ask KI not for the answer but to help me to confirm if my thoughts were right and it seems I’m right. Yes KI is not reliable but if you give KI detailed words gets better but yeah KI seems to analyse posts from sites but here is the answer finally and I can happily watch continue
