Yes, the future Demon King with XXC's fragment made him stronger in their duel. The past ZM sacrificing his happiness with AZ & knowingly going through 10,000 years again as to let XXC take over so we have our start is... hard to take. I like to imagine this time he wasn't chained up in pain but in a long slumber. As for TMS, because he destroyed the 'Destiny Book'. The world is going to be similar to ours in that we have time, but cause & effect are not bound by a fate book, so I assume (I could be wrong...) he will no longer reincarnate with a fragment as NXY like before. Feng Yao will exist, but her life without NXY would mean her brother not getting kidnapped & rescued into the Xuan Tian Sect, & he possibly never becoming their leader. Obviously, I would love to imagine TMS reincarnated with Feng Yao. This time without the burden of his curse😏.

It does feel like they crammed it all in in the last 3 eps, & we could've done with another two.
I've copied the explanation @Klio gave earlier, as she might cover some of your questions ...

🔸ML, FL, and 2ML eventually joined forces to defeat Hao Tian. Their plan was for 2ML and FL to use their powers to create a space exempt from time and space, while ML allowed himself to be possessed. This would enable the possessed ML from the past to fight the possessed ML from the present, ultimately allowing them to kill Hao Tian, since they wouldn’t have been able to otherwise (only HT can kill HT). The plan succeeded, with 2ML sacrificing himself, and the ML from the past dying because he was weaker than the ML from the present (the past ML lacked the fragment of the soul that later became XXC, while the present ML had it restored).
The present ML then had to take the place of his past self, enduring another 10 000 years of imprisonment, while the FL from the past had to repeat the same process that had been done 10 000 years ago, to prevent any changes to the present and ensure that everything leading to the final battle with Hao Tian stayed the same.

The final scene shows the present, 10 000 years later, where ML is free and now represents a version of himself in which ZM and XXC have merged. He retains XXC’s memories and personality, but has the body and powers of a demon. After sealing ML again, in the past, 2ML destroyed the Book of Fate (and himself?), believing it was no longer necessary, as people would now be the creators of their own destinies/fates. It’s unclear whether he later reincarnated as a human, but I believe he had to be, because he needed to exist for the plan against Hao Tian to succeed.

I hope that explains it 😅🔸

He will have you on a roller coaster ride with this role. Towards the end, his smile will be evil, lost & bitter😏. Then there's crying, when he cries it feels so broken, I wanna cry too🥴.

That's why I don't go there lol. And it was really good here too. Even if someone had diff views it was civil but when she starts now on the FL that then attracts the anti female users who segway in. So the comments here have gone like this rn. The funny thing is I haven't spoken to her for weeks. Last was when I challenged her for making up lies the the 2ml fans were putting down 1ml. She moved the goalpost saying it was 'somewhere else' ...& then swore at me🌚.

Now you mention it, it's so true. It is obsessional as you made your point many times, but there's a need to control the narrative, twist things & badger ppl. We can disagree. But the need to control how others should think, that's the core issue. We can talk about diff views when it's done respectfully.

Lol, she's the one calling others bots🤔. She does have sock accts as within 10 mins, there's 10-15 likes ...

She was spamming the comments shading HMH/ his char/the drama. As the page moved fast she created lots of discussion boxes to stay visible, repeating herself. I haven't been on FOF for a while, but it sounds like she's still there.

Haha😹. That's exactly the role I'm after too. C- ent normally have these yandere lites. While he embodies intense, dark and soulful. We know he can do passion & desire in a raw & grown up way🔥. I'm praying hard lol💯💯.

Yep. I heard that she waged some sort of hate campaign against HMH as she likes the 2ml there. She kept opening shady discussion boxes to keep the narrative going. I haven't gone recently to look, but you might see some of it still there. When she started on 2ml & now FL I knew she was gonna camp here next. Funny thing was she said before - 'I love the comments section here. There are no toxic people, or people trying to impose their views on you'...🤔🤔🙃Omg, the irony.

I've joined the club, she's blocked me🤣.... & I can see she did a write-up for us too lmao.

True, blocking on here can cause hilarious consequences🤭. Your ONE word & it's blocked is killing me😁👍🏻.

It's actually a grt thing to get blocked. I'm thinking of doing some blocking myself🤣. I know I'm gonna be reading the same rant over & over, every day. They want to influence/lie/ & mislead new ppl... so that's all wasted on me anyway😉.

Geez, it's like 'Groundhog Day' on here🙃. I heard about the FOF thing from another user. When she came here & started on the 2ml, & now FL, I knew obsession was gonna follow😶.

Oh my god, a normal comment for once🤣😻. This drama was a hidden gem for me, I loved it.

You made me laugh hard🤣. Yeah, it is wild, like what is going on? & they are emotional & serious about it like she cheated on them. I agree. It would be funny if it weren’t so weird🥴.

OMG, nearly every other day there's some strange rando's with these 'cheating' comments aimed at MXL... & they don't want to watch the drama🙃.

Yeah, I noticed it too. His face looked AI'd, especially in the scenes in the demon realm. But I haven't heard about anyone getting cancelled.

I'm praying. But because he's actually too good in these grey Yandere roles, there's more chances of him getting them again🤣. At least let him be a grey ML who gets love🥴.

Agreed💔🤧.

I remember the book was sparse (my version?). They just left it so that he returns to where he belongs. The author said that TMS was not supposed to be stained by the world, like he did when he was mortal NXY. I took it he had no feelings as 'Destiny Book' & went into reset.

That's the book. The drama is very different as they played on them questioning their existence.
