“If that should happen, then the heavens are wrong. I am right. I will stand against the heavens and defy them until the end.”  — Xie Lian

 
Even the devil wouldn't know how happy it makes me when the MC defies the god himself with every step he takes. 🤌🏼❤️✨

Since the characters are for the majority hundreds of years old you can imagine that there is a lot of backstory.  It seems that we got a nice chunk of a flashback of it in this volume.

In the previous volume this was handled more as telling history or sharing gossip which was amusing because of the lens it was told from.  For the flashback it was more of a lived experience so not much humor.

I'm still enjoying the story and since it is predominantly character based with some "baddie-of-the-week" elements the previous experiences of a nigh immortal character are integral.

Xiè Lián continues to be a wonderful main character, kind and thoughtful no matter what's happening around him. His unlucky nature leads to quite a bit of hilarity even in the midst of the very serious situations he finds himself in. 

Huā Chéng is funny and entertaining in his own way as he casually meddles once again in the affairs of the heavenly realm.

"To humans, gods are elders, teachers, everlasting light, but they are not our masters. Therefore, we should be full of thankfulness and admiration but never groveling worship. (...) I believe that the correct attitude is thankfulness and shared joy - not fear, not ingratiation, not intimidation, and certainly not putting oneself in a position of servitude."
