I can't wait to get to that bit, I love a crazy WD, and I love his acting and scenes π€. It looks like they've…
He will be epic as Tian MΓ¬ng Shu! π Yeah they did change SQ arc and the Demon God arc in the book was too short. I'm guessing they'll expand on that in later eps after showing the events 10000 years ago. So excited for us viewers!
The array didn't fail. Their death's were just not instanteous coz of their high cultivation. Remember the Phoenix…
Welcome! π This is prolly one of the best adaptations I've seen since they fleshed out the characters and streamlined some parts. There are only 62 chapters plus an epilogue so it's a relatively quick read if you want to give it a shot.
I am so confused? So is the emperror goodor evil? did the fl really betray him or did she drink another special…
No, he wasn't evil. History was rewritten as per Divine clans request to Book of Destiny to depict him as an evil emperor but he was saving humans ( kids were being offered as human sacrifices) and challenging the capricious gods. FL didn't betray him. This is ZM's misunderstanding coz he doesn't know what happened after he was trapped in the abyss. XXC is a sliver of his soul that reincarnated in the human realm as a sword cultivator. They will eventually be merged due to some events.
I'm thinking Chaos Pearl pushing him off was an illusion or there was an agreement between her and TianMingShu. This part was changed so we'll have to see. π
Wait so the XXC that saved little MXL should be the current XXC because it seems from the trailer for Episode…
Correct! This current XXC is the one who will make a deal with the Wheel of Time god to go back 10 years in time to save lil MXL. So da gege(big bro) in MXL's memory is 25yo XXC's soul in 18yo XXC's body as he tries to change her fate. So funny recalling that he was jealous of big bro when it was himself π
Omg ep 26! The ending gave me goosebumps.The whole trio array failing is super ironic but how did it fail? Why…
The array didn't fail. Their death's were just not instanteous coz of their high cultivation. Remember the Phoenix female cultivator? Even though she was at the death door, she still survived and lived in that island before she asked for immortality. XXC was protected by the amulet given to MXL by NXY. Even though she is the Chaos Pearl, MXL took the hardest hit coz her cultivation in this mortal form is not as high as theirs. Her soul is not gonna die though because she is part of their universe's order system.
You asked very good questions and I have answers to them based on the novel, but the drama is unfolding in a beautiful way so it might be better to keep watching. Unless, you really want major spoilers?
Lemme just say the screenwriters are freaking brilliant! πππThey took majority of the novel as the main…
A. In the novel, Fu Lan Sheng's dad was actually a vile person. He married FLS's mom because of her influence and wealth. He faked his care for her throughout their marriage. CangLi was actually the son of his friend but he coveted CangLi's mother so he had his friend killed and took her. He pretended to raise CL as his foster son but is almost like a hostage so that the mother would do his bidding. That's why CL hates him so much. In the passage scene, dad Fu ran away and was the one to set off the death array even though FLS, his wife, CL and Abao were still there so that they'll be killed. In the drama, he was a good and loving father and husband. He even covered up the scandal of his brother(CangLi's dad in this case) and took the hit on his reputation. The scene of FSL's parents bidding him goodbye while smiling because they don't want him to see them dying hit hard. It was heartwrenching to see him brushing her hair, talking about their love story, and finally resting beside each other. We can also see them hashing out FSL's character and becoming stronger. His moral compass is good. Abao was afraid that by her father's action FSL would hate her through extension but he doesn't. He said he doesn't want to live for revenge but he rightfully doesn't want to see CL anymore coz he was the reason for his parents' death. I expect we will see more of his growth as the next master Fu.
B. In the novel, HXW just wanted to have more power. Admittedly, he also wanted equality for the spirit clan but his character wasn't explored much. In the drama, his main purpose in living for thousands of years was to kill the divine clan because of what they did to humans and ZM. They actually showed him as a kid that lived during Emperor Zhao Ming's time. At the time the Divine clan were capricious gods wanting a lot of offerings and sacrifices. They cause diseases, drought, etc. so that the humans can keep worshiping them and in return they "give" abundance back. Those boys and girls you saw wearing white were supposed to be human sacrifices but ZM had enough and attacked the Divine realm to get rid of these gods. The Divine clan got scared and asked the Book of Destiny to rewrite history - making ZM the "evil" emperor, and trapping him in that hellish abyss. That's why HXW said these are fake when he read the book on the platform because he knows and lived the truth. He just didn't know all of the gods have been killed or cast into the Dark Abyss so the Divine realm is empty.
C. In the novel, Gao Quimin stayed the mean sprited and entitled biatch she was since little. In the drama, she has shown to ask for forgiveness for her mistake and eventually protective of MXL. Same as FLS, we'll prolly see more of her growth too. π
Lemme just say the screenwriters are freaking brilliant! πππ They took majority of the novel as the main story vehicle but enhanced the characters and the side characters to have more intentions, motivations and depth.
I'll point out some significant changes in the spoiler below based on ep.25 and 26:
The Wheel/Time God said the world is "fake", bc of how Destiny got involved and changed things correct??? Or what…
With current MXL's death, XXC will ask the Wheel of Time god to go back 10 years in time to save younger enslaved MXL so da gege is actually future XXC. The payment for this rewind is XXC mortal body dying in the current timeline but his soul will remerge with Zhao Ming - who will be the Demon God. MXL will live and they will be reunited later on. These two basically keep on saving each other. LOL! Welcome! There are good changes from the novel though which keeps the drama exciting to watch even when I read it already. π
Yeah they did change SQ arc and the Demon God arc in the book was too short. I'm guessing they'll expand on that in later eps after showing the events 10000 years ago. So excited for us viewers!
He married a spirit clan female - Abao's mom.

Let's keep enjoying watching! ππ

This is the novel and drama comparison based on ep25 and 26. There are some details especially in B related to some of those Qs:

I loved that he failed. More agony for NXY so we can see Wang Duo's acting π€£π€£π€£

You're so patient! I didn't even bother to read those snapshots anymore. π€£
Wish we had more MXLΓXXC sweet moments but it is what it is. Unto the next arc! π

π― agree with what you said about the closures and extensions.
Can't wait how they will handle more reveals in the future since they have prepared some angsty tangents. Haha! π€
