I totally understand, there's still one mystery to me that wasn't answered. It's about Manman and Dizhu, trying to figure out whose memories it was, and I thought it was Jiu Ying. But in Episode 15, Jiu Ying was shocked that both MM and DZ were possessed by a demon.
This implies JY has no idea that they are in an illusion. So, who memories it is DZ or MM? Cause depends on who remembers it, it opens up a new rabbit hole.
Unless the answer is as simple as it the Star Stone memory
Also, a very key but important detail, everyone in the illusion is not in their original body. Example Li Jie in Yuan Xizai's body or WSG in their father. This implies that everyone else is also not in their original body, including the butterfly demon.
This is actually a very crucial detail, cause it implies a lot of things that many viewers will miss.
I’m trying to piece together everything i’ve read with what i’ve watched and what i understand about the…
Just to be clear, so people aren't too confused about Li Jie's illusion, no, they are not twins: Yuan Wuhuo and Yuan Xizai. They are Demon Hunters sent to retrieve the star stone. We don't know why Li Jie looks like Yuan Wuhuo yet.
People, whom I have clarified that this actually helps them cause having two Li Jie/Yuan Wuhuo on screen actually confuses them.
I said that Jiu Ying is the force behind the catastrophes, but that’s not entirely correct, right? The real…
Yes, it's the running theme we learn from episodes 1-5: what is "evil"? Cause technically, it was Wu Zhi Qi who caused all 3 catastrophes, in a way.
Even though each time WZQ was tricked in a way, and most likely could have been Jiu Ying's fault.
Like how we always thought it was Xiaowei's fault, even though he didn't commit those crimes. But he is not innocent either, cause his love talisman plays a role. In a way, he was tricked as well.
He was possessed by Jiu Ying, causing the hurricane catastrophes.
His being captured by the six-eyed butterfly demon causes Tian Di to explode.
He is the one who lured the WSG master away. I think this is one of the only big stretches, but I think WSG master could have stopped Weakended Jiyung from possessing WWY to kill everyone.
honestly i still can’t fully grasp about whats happening in the illusion arc😵💫
Here is a very simplistic answer that may help you. The arc itself is to continue world-building, build up the plot, and reveal the main villain.
Lu Wu Yi and Long Shen is back in time 1000 years ago, to learn about the events that happened. The important parts will be revealed, but think of it as the origin story of the villain.
Li Jie is back in time 150 years ago, which is a bit more confusing because there are 2 of them; they are not twins. He is in the body of Yuan Wu Huo's little brother, Yuan Xi Zai. We learn a bit more of the backstory of Yuan Wu Huo.
Wu Wang Yan and Wu Shi Guang are back in time 50 years ago. WSG is in the body of his father, and WWY is in the body of his mother. They will discover the tragedy of what happened to the flood dragon clan and learn a bit about the villain as well.
