it’s only possible for an older person to borrow time from someone younger, not the other way around

Oh, I'd entirely forgotten about that!

So glad we don't need to adopt this for the drama, LOL, the Hallows work in mysterious ways however we like them! *g*

Which appears to be what happens with CSZ and GCC. But it's different for Weilan because of the energy corruption

Yes! You know, I'd always believed that SW gets white energy corruption because he cures ZYL's black energy corruption, and I'd wondered about the effects on CSZ from using the Sundial, but somehow I hadn't quite put it all together properly until I wrote that comment above about equivalent exchange. Of course CSZ will be fine and won't have white energy corruption - GCC didn't have black energy corruption! Whatever curing him cost him, it had to be in some ways equivalent to what GCC was suffering from. Duh! *headdesk*

(Which makes me think of Li Qian again, who brought her grandma back to life - so did she give her part of her own lifespan? It would make sense. But then there's clearly more going on with these two, given that Li Qian's grandma ended up as a spirit inside the Sundial at least for a little bit ...)
