Very intense volume. Lots of emotions. I have a hard time describing this book cus I speed read it in a week (I was very emotionally invested). Lots of twists and turns!! I thoroughly enjoyed it! I really hope Shi Qingxuan gets nice things in the next volume… I feel really bad for him.

This volume has a lot of turmoil and some big reveals. It kind of feels a bit like monster/ghost of the week, intended with tragic backstories and convoluted backstabbing plots.
There's still some wholesome moments between Xie Lian and Hua Cheng but I wouldn't say no to more.

"Everything I have today, I fought for! I will fight for what I don't have. I will change my fortune if fate denies me! My fate is up to me and not the heavens!"
. . . . “Even as gods, we cannot be spared in the end.”
truly...such a tragic tale that was uncovered here. in all my excitement of learning more about one of the Four Calamities, Ship-Sinking Black Water, i stumbled upon a twisted and resentful twist that was tied to shi qingxuan and shi wudu, and i was not expecting any of it. this plot twist was certainly one of my most favorites that i've ever read in fiction and it was absolutely epic the way the author weaved these characters together and continued to completely reshape what i knew of the details from previous volumes.
it's amazing how large a cast of characters there are and the way the author connects them all in a way that is absolute genius; they all stand out so well and they have a vicious stake in the story that leaves me eager to see more of them. this doesn't just include xie lian and hua cheng but again, shi qingxuan & shi wudu, feng xin & mu qing, quan yizhen (who was....such a huge surprise after his first meeting in volume three), lang ying, and also.....he xuan :') plus plenty more!! but these are the standouts for me.
while the reveal near the end of another scheme that was hanging over the gods' heads did throw me off into a spin of confusion for a bit (you really can't trust anyone), all the earlier events of this volume really just completely wiped me out and made me feel very emotional. the writing was incredible as always and now looking forward, i'm very anxious of what more is to come eventually, but still excited.
shi qingxuan and shi wudu, though....damn.
