Honestly, unless you can provide the episode to what you're talking about, after rewatching this from the beginning several times, I did not remember or see Zhi Yang mention it will come back 'every' 180,000 years.

No True Gods know about Bai Jue plans that he suppressed it aside from Bai Jue and Gu Jun, and then later Tian Qi.

As for the whole "If it will come back", the word "If" was used, so it's an uncertainty if it will come back since the Trials of Tribulation only happened once so far... they don't know if its a recurring thing that keeps coming back, but to them, although they knew Power of Chaos can stopped it, 'its best to be prepared' in case it does. Just to be prepared for it. It doesn't mean that it will come back 100%. Its them expecting for the worst, even when they know already Power of Chaos should be able to stop it for good(permanently), since this only happened once, they only knew that it could be stopped with Power of Chaos, and if its a recurring thing since back then, beside Shang Gu before she was born, who was the one who stopped the Tribulation of Chaos? Surely if its a recurring thing than it will be recorded in the history or something for them to refer to, but no one knows what this whole Tribulation of Chaos was about until it really happened. Xuanyi rebelled against it, when he found out and when he went against his own destiny, to make Shang Gu the scape goat. If it is a recurring thing, he wouldn't want to take over the God Realm and claim his title as "previous chief god" when he attacked the God Realm, because if its a recurring thing then the next person to sacrifice will be him lolll.

Anyways, for me, this whole Tribulation is a test to see if one is worthy to be the Chief God, but I already commented this previously on my first reply so that's my stance to this.

I actually enjoyed it from the first episode, lol, and will rewatch the beginning again on my end.

With that important info, it wouldn't be missed, since I don't remember Zhi Yang saying this in the drama after several rewatch.

I do remember that Zhi Yang did told Bai Jue when Bai Jue wanted to take Shang Gu's place for this tribulation, that he can only 'temporarily' sealed/stopped it, not 'permanently' stopped/resolved it, because he didn't have the Power of Chaos core..That's why Shang Gu was needed since if she succeed it will be a permanent thing. This is the difference between having the Power of Chaos vs no Power of Chaos when sacrificing oneself. This is also the reason why Bai Jue went through great pain to obtain the power of chaos on his end

If the Power of Chaos cannot 'permanently' stop or resolve this, then there's no point in using the Power of Chaos to begin with. Since its only 'temporary' ending it not permanent.

Just take it as a one time only, since Zhi Yang never said it comes 'every' 180,000 years. I tried to search the episode where he said it, but couldn't find it nor do I recall Zhi Yang saying this.

And you can read my earlier reply to @Kaleidoscopic if you want. To shed some light (on what was revealed and how I see it)

I went back to watch episode 1 to confirm myself lol, Zhi Yang did NOT said it comes every 180,000 years, but the Tribulation of Chaos is coming in a thousand years.

Honestly, I don't remember Zhi Yang saying it comes 'every' 180,000 years because if so, I wouldn't forget such an important information 😅

Zhi Yang did not said that, to confirm, I went back to watch the first episode again. Zhi Yang said that the Tribulation of Chaos is coming in a thousand years, not every 180,000 years.

None of them knew about the Tribulation of Chaos or what it is. They only knew that it can only be stopped by the Power of Chaos.

Zhi Yang also told Bai Jue when Bai Jue wanted to take Shang Gu's place for this tribulation, that he can only 'temporarily' sealed/stopped it, not 'permanently' stopped/resolved it, because he didn't have the Power of Chaos core..That's why Shang Gu was needed since if she succeed it will be a permanent thing. This is the difference between having the Power of Chaos vs no Power of Chaos when sacrificing oneself. This is also the reason why Bai Jue went through great pain to obtain the power of chaos on his end

If the Power of Chaos cannot 'permanently' stop or resolve this, then there's no point in using the Power of Chaos to begin with. Since its only 'temporary' ending it not permanent.

How can ratings dropped like that? 😰😰 Unless the pre existing votes was marked down or something....otherwise new comers that votes won't influence the rating to dropped! 😭😭

When those people can still make those comments about Bai Jue, despite the story already explained it in detail, then I have nothing more to say to them, since they showed me they don't really understand or empathize with Bai Jue and his perspectives. It is already clear that Bai Jue will do anything to protect/save Shang Gu/Hou Chi, so their misunderstanding, even after watching this entirely, I can never understand (still annoying when seeing those type of comments though). For me, I will always love Bai Jue on my end and he have my respect since his sacrificial love to protect Shang Gu/Hou Chi have touched me in throughout the entire story.

Exactly. Only Tian Qi and Gu Jun knows about it, and well the others from Qingchi Palace, but Bai Jue/Qing Mu didn't know about it. Honestly, if they really paid attention to those scenes, paid attention at all.... They would know that it isn't only Hou Chi hurting, Bai Jue was hurting too, if not more IMO. Do you think it pleases Bai Jue to see Hou Chi hurting like this? -_- My God.... it really annoys me when people have so little faith/trust in Bai Jue, because if they paid attention, they would know that he would die/is willing to die in her place if it meant that Hou Chi/Shang Gu is protected/safe and alive...

To me, when they said that, it just shows me they don't understand Bai Jue's perspectives and his suffering. They don't believe that even if Tian Qi or Gu Jun wasn't there, Bai Jue would never let it get that far, because in the end, him flying up to save Hou Chi and wanted to help her regain control, already showed that he won't just stand there and do nothing. After all that Bai Jue has endured, how can they have so little faith in him? Their lack of faith in Bai Jue is beyond my understanding.

Yeah, you should haha. I already did on my end, so it's easier to refer back to later lol

I see, I see, I think the part when Shang Gu asked "Are you Qing Mu?", and then "Are you Bo Xuan", it's showing us that she didn't expect that she was able to get back the 'complete' Bai Jue on her end, so she was expecting for the worst, to me, how she asked him if he's Bo Xuan or Qing Mu, it already revealed/showed that she have complete memories on her end of the times when she's Hou Chi, but to her, she didn't directly ask if he's Bai Jue at first is because deep down, I believe that's what she wants him to be, but is afraid that if she asked, she will not get the answer that she wants, like you know that feeling when you sometimes want it to be true, but is afraid of asking, and then getting the answer you might not want? So she started of by asking him if he's Qing Mu or Bo Xuan first; when Bai Jue expresses 'no' to both these questions, and when he called her "Shang Gu", you can see her subtle reaction, she was 'surprised', and then how he said "I am Bai Jue", and how she ran up to him and expresses her happiness, because she was expecting for the worst, that even if he can come back, it won't be the complete Bai Jue, so it's either Qing Mu or Bo Xuan, but in the end, what surprises her and made her so happy was that she not only got back Bai Jue, but the him who have his complete memories, so in that moment, it truly expresses how blissful this moment was to her. It was played out well, really, I love their hug and their embrace, despite I keep complaining that we need an extended scene afterwards LOL. But this is what I got out of this scene on my end.

They will always be my favourite couple too!!! <3 <3

Hooray for the love for the 2nd couple in Miss the Dragon!! Indeed they are the show stealer haha 😂

That painful feeling of being ignored and the amount of effort you spent into typing all that, it's not very welcoming (lol). I am glad to know that someone can relate to me about this haha 😂😅

I'm surprised they even passed censorship LOL, but I guess they just took it for comedy purposes LOL 😂😂 Towards the ending just sorta went downhill for me, because so much angst, and when XQX was being controlled, I was full on "!!!" at Mingge Xingjun on my end!!! But luckily they released the remaining episodes, so I can just jump to the ending and find out if my favourite pair got a happy ending, otherwise, I will go bonkers with these cliff hangers!!😭😭Well for Zhu Zan Jin (actor to Jin Guangyao), I don't know what characters he will be playing later, but I am not purposely going to jump into watching a drama of his LOL. If he happens to be starring in a drama I am watching, then let's hope that he will play a decent character this time, and not another scheming bastard 😅😅 Although I have to say I really enjoyed the part when Xue Qian Xun slapped Mingge Xingjun on the face, when he was just aiming for the firefly that the FL sent to Longyan HAHAHA 😂😂😂😂

I think it was stated that mortals can ascend to immortals, because isn't that what Bai Jue was teaching those students in the beginning? They started off as mortals, right? And then it was said that if you cultivate enough, you can ascend to being immortal. So I think this pretty much plays true for Bai Shuo, the little girl that Hou Chi saved, and how Qing Mu taught her martial arts or something. I think it will be explained in that novel sequel. But I have not read it yet, so don't know much about it. If there's a S2, let's hope hard that they will bring back Xu Kai and Zhou Dong Yu to play Bai Jue and Shang Gu, I want to see them again, and the original casts too, ofcourse.

That's good that it's a happy ending for your favourite pair in both drama ahahah. I know the ending to 'The Legends', it was implied through their son/daughter that looks like them, that they are happily married, so it's good enough. For AMA , good to know it's a happy/fulfilling ending ^^

And, yes, FIYS is only above ALP by 0.1 points, so let's hope ALP will surpass it, because IMO, ALP is definitely better than FIYS haha, although I did enjoy/like FIYS too 😂 That's my opinion of Cheng Xiao for you, but no hate to the actress, this is what I got from watching the drama, although I don't know you have to watch it yourself to see. Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai are both young, but I feel like probably Cheng Xiao needs a bit more practice through expressing her character, but I guess, the more she films/acts, the more she will get better later on. Yeah, she will indeed have room for improvements. For me, Xu Kai practically carry the whole show in FIYS 😂 Although I did love the other characters too, and there's two characters I noticed that have played in ALP too hahaha 😂

At least ELOD they gave us a family of 3 spending time together 😭😭 I wanted that so much for ALP 😭😭 Although it was cut out from the original ending for ELOD (the boat scene), I was like "where is it????" I remember I saw a clip of it, so why was it cut???? But turned out they cut it -____- but at least we still saw that clip... Can we get one special clip post canon, after Bai Jue came back???? 😭😭 I want a bit more than what I was given.... 😭😭 Well, if S2 comes, let's hope we get our wish, and we get the same casts again, and some extended Bai Jue and Shang Gu scenes (same cast please!!!) 😭😭

I will touch on the 'Tribulation of Chaos' side of things, and how I see it. Since I already commented this previously.

Bai Jue told Tian Qi that "if it comes back", so there's no certainty whether it will definitely come back after it's resolved the first time. To me, the tribulation of chaos is just a 'one time' only, that's why Zhi Yang said that it can only be resolved with the Power of Chaos, Bai Jue back then couldn't resolve it, because he doesn't have the Power of Chaos, so if he's going to sacrifice, it only will be able to sealed it temporarily and it will come back after the time runs out. So looking at this comparison, I do think that this Tribulation of Chaos is a 'one time only'

I do think this whole thing is a test though. The Chief God responsibility is to protect the Three Realms and that's their destiny, so when they accepted their destiny, that's them accepting that they will be the sacrifice to stop the Tribulations of Chaos (it's a test to see if they are worthy for that title as Chief God).

Back then, Xuanyi was the first Chief God, but after he found out the destiny of what was installed for him, he rebelled against the God Realm and went against Destiny. He even said that Destiny is the enemy. After he rebelled against his own destiny, and fall to the 'Devil', Shang Gu was born, which her destiny was to replace Xuanyi. Literally, you can say that Xuanyi made Shang Gu the scape goat on something he should have done back then. Well, if Xuanyi accepted his destiny, then there won't be a story to tell us the difference between Xuanyi and Shang Gu.

So when Shang Gu accepted her destiny, to be the sacrifice and stop the Tribulations of Chaos, Bai Jue protected Shang Gu from her destiny, by saving her soul and temporarily sealed the Tribulation of Chaos to stop the process back then.

When Bai Jue found out what exactly was the Tribulation of Chaos, all he wanted was to protect Shang Gu from her destiny. But Shang Gu accepted it because that's her responsibility as the Chief God.

I think this whole thing is like a test, so it was a 'one-thing' only. The story is telling us about Love & Responsibilities. Bai Jue protected Shang Gu from her destiny to replace her instead by obtaining the Power of Chaos, because he loves her, and he can't just sit back and do nothing. His sacrificial love is the core to this story, where it's not about love, but it is also about responsibilities of them being True Gods. While both Bai Jue and Tian Qi loves Shang Gu, they did not take the same paths to achieve the end result. Tian Qi only cared about protecting Shang Gu by sacrificing the Three Realms, and disregarded the innocents in the process, while Bai Jue will protect Shang Gu, by replacing her in this tribulation instead, which is protecting her from her destiny, and bringing peace to the Three Realms. Tian Qi even made a comment in the novel, after he realized Bai Jue's plan (which in the novel, is unlike the drama, he only found out just before Bai Jue sacrificed himself T^T) that his love for Shang Gu can never matched Bai Jue.

So, in the end, Bai Jue was able to come back is because of a 'miracle'; because they have passed this test, and it was also Shang Gu's wish for Bai Jue to return to her. I think it is also because their love has touched the Ancestors God to create this miracle for them, because in the end, they did not disappoint between love & responsibilities (how I see it).

Although I do agree with you about that ending, I am among one of those people who weren't satisfied of that ending, but it's at least better than no hug/embraces at all, since the novel didn't even give us a hug/embrace. Still, I really wanted to see an extended scene where it shows a family of 3, I will even be content to see Yuan Qi at the scene, where he ran up to hug Bai Jue, and welcome him back and Bai Jue pick Yuan Qi up in his arms, and then showing us the family of 3, how blissful their moments will be from this moment on.

Thank you for saying this in a more simple way! I am sick and tired of people not understanding Bai Jue, and saying "Bai Jue just stood there and didn't do anything at all". I mean, do people honestly have that little faith in Bai Jue, that he will absolutely do nothing at all, to save Hou Chi / Shang Gu? After all he's been doing, Shang Gu/Hou Chi safety/well being is his main priority. Why do they doubt Bai Jue??? After all that he's shown us (omg)

white-haired devil, Wu Huan? Well you got your wish, she will suffer eternally, never die, or age, but suffer eternally. I just wish Jing Zhao got a heavier punishment than what she was given, because I hated her on my end.

According to the spin off novel, sequel, they did reincarnate Yuemi, shes Bai Shuo, the girl who Hou Chi saved in Dibei Town where Qing Mu then teaches her cultivation. I'm guessing it will be explained in the sequel novel how she ascended to being an Immortal/Goddess, but in the drama it was revealed, which opens up for a sequel. The novel will focus on Tian Qi x Bai Shuo(Yuemi's reincarnation), that have not been translated yet

Also, losing 2.5 points just for the fact that they didn't reincarnate Yuemi, is a bit harsh imo.

Omg, I advertised ALP to my friend and told him that ALP is on par with TMOPB and ELOD, because he loves both these dramas, I originally said 'on par', since I didn't want to raise his expectations to a great drama, and today, just then, he told me since I asked him, how he's finding ALP so far? He told me:

"I likes this one(ALP) better than The Legends and this is even better then Ten miles of Peach Blossoms, the story and plot characters the build up all fits so perfectly and nicely, like not one moment is wasted and niether is one part draggy. like all of it is just nice so well balanced, i do like the fights so cool and of course the gradual build up to things happening"

Hahahahaha, well, that actually puts a smile on my face, even though I love TMOPB alot, but I also came to love ALP a lot too, so it is well deserving for this praise 😊😊 And hooray, I got another fan to this drama! 🥳

It was said that to create another body, he have to suffered the pain of splitting his 'original being', so this is why Qing Mu is still Bai Jue, but an 'extension to Bai Jue'. After Qing Mu was created, his spiritual root do not carry Bai Jue's essence, because that was left back with the other half (Bai Jue) in the Ice Cave/chamber. That's why no one can sense Bai Jue's essence from Qing Mu. Qing Mu's goal is to cultivate demon power, doesn't matter how he battles/kills monsters and gained experience, these cultivation will be added to the demon side (since that's the core to his body); his body was supposed to absorbed the demon power, because Bai Jue needed to obtain the Power of Chaos on his end.

The only way for this to work, is for him to mix his own immortal power with demon power, to obtain the 'Power of Chaos'. Since Bai Jue spiritual root is Immortal, he can't cultivate demonic power, because they repel each other. Shang Gu can because she was born with the Power of Chaos Core in her, Bai Jue couldn't because he wasn't naturally born with it, that's why he have to go through the pain of splitting his original being, and have the other half of him (Qing Mu) cultivate/absorb demon power, so when they are mixed/combined into one again, he can obtain the Power of Chaos Core.

There's no reason for Bai Jue to bring Qing Mu back to him, back then, when he first created him, because that's the whole reason Qing Mu was created in the first place is so he can cultivate demon power.

Bai Jue went into a deep sleep after Qing Mu was sent away doing what he's supposed to be doing, one reason is I think is because he exhausted himself, another reason is because he and Qing Mu can't exist together at the same place/at the same time, because if they are, then they will become one; like Gu Jun said, as soon as Bai Jue wakes up, Qing Mu will be gone, since they are the same person. It wasn't Bai Jue's intention to come back this early, since him coming back this early have cost him, he only regained 40% of his powers, but he rushed back, because Wu Huan have every intention to kill Qing Mu on her end, right there/then. So if Bai Jue did not come back, Qing Mu would have been dead. So don't blame Bai Jue for coming back early, blame Wu Huan.

To me, Qing Mu is an extension to Bai Jue, a part to Bai Jue without Bai Jue's essence, or his memories, that's why the whole 'without memories' part is what enabled Qing Mu to have his own carefree personality and also because Bai Jue failed to sealed Qing Mu Power of Origin being, which lead to Qing Mu having his own spiritual strength/sense; so that's how Qing Mu and Hou Chi fell in love and ended up together, because if you notice when Qing Mu first saw Hou Chi, he sensed a familiarity from her, like they've met a long time ago, and that she's the girl in his dream. These were all extensions made possible because it originates from Bai Jue. This is why to me, Qing Mu x Hou Chi are extensions to the love Bai Jue have for Shang Gu. Ofcourse, Qing Mu comes to love Hou Chi as Hou Chi, through the time they spent together but what I am saying is that, without the love between Bai Jue and Shang Gu, the love between Qing Mu and Hou Chi would not be made possible to start of with (if that makes sense).

So to stop my rambling, when they became one, we saw that Boxuan(well, that's Bai Jue) goes into Qing Mu's body, to become one with him, instead of the other way around, so you can say that through these events that happened, that became his original body. But to me, Qing Mu's is an extension to Bai Jue (without Bai Jue's essence or his memories), when they became one (merged), they did became one, so Bai Jue have complete memories of what happened between Qing Mu and Hou Chi, and he knows how Qing Mu was feeling, because like he said, no one knows how Qing Mu feels better than him, because they are one. Technically you can say that what Qing Mu have been through, it's the same as Bai Jue since they 'became one'. You can take Qing Mu is the original body after they merged if you want, since that's what we saw, Bai Jua(Bo Xuan) going into Qing Mu's body, but the end result is, they became one, so Bai Jue is the 'complete' version; whereas Qing Mu was a part/extension to Bai Jue; but they are one and the same. Personally for me, I don't see Qing Mu is gone, because he lives inside Bai Jue, since they did become one. What's gone, is just the carefree Qing Mu who can love openly like that, but honestly, who's to say that Bai Jue can't be like this after all this/post ending? To me, he can, so I have my stance to this. Even back then in the God Realm, Bai Jue have shown me his sweet/adorable traits (like Qing Mu).

Nice to see another fan!

I also have a lot of moments I love too:
- I love the part when Shang Gu was drunk and she kissed Bai Jue on the forehead, that part was so adorable.

- The part when Bai Jue wants to apologize/make it up to Shang Gu, but he didn't know what to say/do, so Hong Ri helped him by writing it down what he needs to say, and he actually go and read it out loud to her, 'word for word' and how he got embarrassed afterwards HAHAHA.

- The father-Son moment between Bai Jue and Yuan Qi <3

- The Bromance between Tian Qi and Bai Jue in the third arc <3

I was also saying this to an online friend, how I got my friend into this drama, and how I felt like if I am going to list down all my favourite scenes/parts, it's going to be very long, as if it felt like I am listing down all episodes and plots LOL. This drama is such a hidden Gem! People who don't watch it is surely missing out!

Watching BTS right now is the way to go! LOL XD
