I'm not sure that's counted as happy. But not a tragedy?

I just finished watching the final season's animation, and it seems like they gave some tidbits about the next story in the anime. Of course, take it with a grain of salt too because they do tend to change a *lot* of things during the animation to be more dramatic and inclusive... but the gist may still be the same.

But when Xiao Se was going for Tianzen sword, one thing they added is that if this sword awakens, other divine weapons will awaken and could potentially throw the world into chaos. Thee were a noted of 5 in total, the sword being one of them. And then after the series finished, they offered like a 5 second eye catch for animation next series (as was linked in the link below), and it seems to suggest that indeed the divine weapons will be playing a part of it.

How much of the series will be about that isn't known, and we don't know if that's animation only, but that's another thing to look forward to!

I second this! I think he has a certain style playing them.

Do you have the link to the author's Weibo? I keep trying to find it but have so much trouble figuring out how to navigate weibo search.

Thank you so much for the updates!

Thanks for getting back to me! Oh! I should follow the author's weibo. I finally managed to get myself an account (omg, it's so hard!) and hope to get updates. I have only the official SNGX one followed.

Thanks! And I didn't think SQL was that bad in S1.

Well. There definitely is. It's different point of views from various timelinesof the same historical events that was mentioned in Blood. This is the middle section of the history, bridging what happened between Dashing and Blood even though it's not a direct sequel/prequel. It's more like... Expanding on events that are mentioned and fills in gaps. Like... "Oh, that's how they met!" or "Ah. That's what happened behind the scenes!"

I correct myself slightly. I had answered the previous post with the book only 2/3rd finished. Okay it seems the last third of the series does touch more into Dashing youth events. Not necessary to have watched, but it would help solidify the world building and background events that was set up in that story. But main characters of Dashing Youth don't feature much in this series still.

They just wrapped up filming the Dark River side story and that's in post production, so hopefully they can now start on this one soon.

Do you have link to that source? I want to follow!

Nope. It's pretty much stand alone. They might refer to events like 'oh, like when this happened 7 years ago', but that's all. No in depth connections.

What new policy? The last time they limited it, it was to the 40 episode one a few years ago. I can't find any new policy.

It takes place in the same verse, time-line is about 7 years after Dashing youth, about 5 before Blood of Youth?

It is pretty self contained for Dark River characters, like you'll recognize background names of famous characters in passing, they barely cameo (for books and animation, no telling what drama adaptation has changed). Recurring characters from other series are restricted only to Dark River members. Focuses around the story of Su Muyu and Su Changhe, and the shift of powers between the 3 Dark River families.

Has that been confirmed? I thought they already did the reshooting. D:

Does anyone know if the Author has published anything about the story itself on the web novels in the recent months? Not the removed prequel from ages ago.

There's no gap in the books. World Championship was never written, and the books all took place within 2 years, if I remember right. Definitely not more than 4.

That I wish I knew how to do too. But I'm hoping that if they have the money and time to do something like that, they can figure out how to get the rest done too. >.<

Didn't they refilm all her roles for that drama with some other actress?

That's the feeling I'm getting, that this sect is not dependent on the bloodline, although he was definitely his father's son. Yet his father got this from the old sect leader... Somehow. I'm still going through Dashing Youth now, which talks about daddy Ye and possibly covers that.

Well, he isn't a real monk, that is not false. He just prefers to be one when it suits him most of the time. I think if there is someone he likes, he'd not let being a monk stop him.
