An emotional rollercoaster that absolutely rips at your heart as you witness the monuemtal rise of Xie Lian and his ascension to Godhood.
And then just as quickly his descent not only from the heavens but from grace and favour with his own people.
You also see the different moral philosophies the characters have especially between Mu Qing and Xie Lian and how that affects how they see the world, problem solve and approach the war they face.
It's heartbreaking when you realise that just because there are many solutions to a problem it doesn't mean that one has to be wrong. The choices Xie Lian makes are right by his moral philosophy and the ones Mu Qing suggests are right my his.
And then just as quickly his descent not only from the heavens but from grace and favour with his own people.
You also see the different moral philosophies the characters have especially between Mu Qing and Xie Lian and how that affects how they see the world, problem solve and approach the war they face.
