"The fear of death has made them forget their will to live."
Chu Shuzhi remains one of the coolest.
"You go to the bathroom dressed like that?"
Guo Changcheng, otoh, remains the same failbunny, powers or not.
I'm not sure if Professor Ouyang stabbing himself with the serum again was worth rushing him, frex
I think after seeing what the serum did to multiple personality guy, Zhao Yunlan figured use of the serum could lead to nothing desirable.
the whole agreement about Zhang Shi getting to have his body if he had to sacrifice himself for the Guardian Lantern was a bit wtf, given that Guo Changcheng was right there
Oh face it, Zhao Yunlan would never let one of his own sacrifice himself if there was something he could do to prevent it.
Zhao Yunlan being growly over Shen Wei and vowing to kill whomever hurt him.
I ADORE that scene. And also the one where he spits all that blood at Ye Zun. This is a total BAMF Zhao Yunlan ep.
"Why is this not going exactly like in my favorite revenge fantasy, cultivated over first an adolescence of abuse and then 10 000 years of empillarment?"
LOLOL.
Shen Wei's theme this episode seems to be too little, too late. He finally asks Ye Zun why he hates him so much! (At least two decades too late to get an actual answer.) He finally criticizes the Regent about Dixingians living in a timeless darkness! (When he's tied to a pillar and has no political power to change anything or make others change things.)
Well. We don't know if he's never said any of that before. He could just be trying one last time? IDK.
If Zhang Shi knew that Guo Changcheng's karma was so good that it could save the world, why couldn't he have said that Guo Changcheng could also light the Lantern? Then they could've kept the Hallows on Haixing and merged them there, and the Hallows project would've been completely separate from the mission to rescue Shen Wei. Make Ye Zun go kaboom with the merged Hallows, find Shen Wei from Dixing, fuss over him and patch him up. Or at the very least go to Dixing without the Hallows and without Guo Changcheng (because Guo Changcheng and the Hallows are required for merging the Hallows), so Zhao Yunlan's accompanied by someone with actual powers.
I am totally with you for the last bit - taking Guo Changcheng of all people was supremely idiotic.
But Zhang Shi never said that Guo Changcheng could light the Lantern and survive (and for all we know, he might not) so whether or not GCC is wick material is really beside the point where Zhao Yunlan is concerned. So that's where that beautiful plan falls down.
Ma Gui says he thought the Hallows' abilities were just legends – so he didn't make the Hallows, he just found them somewhere?
This is just weird, yeah...
The Shen Wei close-ups... the death glare... the glasses... ***melts***
