Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The script did not go into the thoughts of the goddess in the end. In any case, after a one-on-one conversation with the son of heaven whom she thought the most highly of, she sighed and ended up helping him to resolve the predicament before disappearing.
Lin Xiaowan had to admit that she did not quite understand everything. However, she could tell the character of the goddess was stubborn and feudal. Although she was a goddess above everyone, she was also a little ignorant and bad.
Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a long time before she said, “This goddess seems to hate seeing others live well…:
The goddess’ scenes mostly had to do with the source of the curse, but there were quite a few scenes that depicted the way she did things. As Lin Xiaowan said, many of her actions were targeted at people who lived blissfully.
The director, who liked the character of the goddess who was not too involved in the main storyline but was mostly in the side story, said, “To put it bluntly, she’s a little twisted. The more she wants something, the more she can’t get it. Not only that, but what she can’t get, she finds that others can easily get them.” “What is it that she wants?” Lin Xiaowan asked.
The director replied, “That’s a good question. You’re the goddess. What do you want?”
Lin Xiaowan thought that the goddess was jealous. She was jealous that others could love and be loved while she was alone. She sat on a high throne and looked down on all living beings without anyone to talk to. Others were afraid of her, respected her, or disliked her, but none of them was willing to stand next to her.
“How did she become a goddess?” Lin Xiaowan asked curiously.
The director said with a hint of pity, “She was sacrificed by her family after she was chosen by the heavens. In fact, although her appearance in the drama isn’t a lot, she’s mentioned many times by others.”
Lin Xiaowan was very interested in the character. After she returned from the audition, she began to read the thick script from the beginning. She went to bed very late because she was reading the script.
Huo Zheng urged her a few times to go to bed, but she did not listen. She was very close to the finale and there were only a few pages left after all. Hence, she quickly leaned closer to him and coaxed him softly. It was really not easy for her to get Huo Zheng to agree to let her sleep a little later.
In the end, after she finished reading the script, she found that she could not sleep. She was sad and upset because of the bad ending. Some of the main characters were separated, and none of them had a perfect happy ending!
Lin Xiaowan threw herself into Huo Zheng’s arms and began to cry loudly as she scolded the scriptwriter.
The drama was actually quite old-fashioned. There were nine young people with different personalities who became friends by accident. All of them had different identities from a wealthy young master to a little beggar. They killed demons together and grew closer and closer; some of them even fell in love. After that, due to an accident in the divine realm, the goddess came and convinced a few people to sacrifice some people to fix the accident. Subsequently, many bad things happen in the divine realm and the demon realm one after another. The protagonists naturally hated the goddess’ style of doing things. Because the realms were in turmoil, they worked together to save the world. They also woke up those who were brainwashed by the goddess.
The protagonists continued doing this until one day, a new demon king appeared in the demon realm. He wanted to destroy the world, and it was actually because of the goddess. The more they learned about the goddess, the more they hated her. However, as though the goddess was mocking them, she no longer appeared. On one hand, they wanted to persuade the demon king to surrender and stabilize the realms, but at the same time, they wanted to overthrow the goddess’ commander. It was a difficult task to take down the goddess. After all, she had lived for a long time, and there were too many people who brainlessly believed and supported her.
What followed was a long journey to protect the realms and take down the goddess. The protagonists’ relationships continued to improve. There was love and friendship between them, becoming like a family. However, the goddess began to target them at this time. They resisted the goddess, and grew stronger in the process. In the end, they managed to obtain a divine spark and go to the divine realm. It was there that they met the goddess in person and ended the goddess’ tyranny.
However, that was not the end. After that, they realized that the turmoil was not over yet. They had experienced wars and tragic sacrifices, and in the end, only a few survived. After that, they realized that they could not live carefree lives. There were countless small worlds under the divine realm that needed governing and protection from powerful people. They were no longer as carefree as when they were young and could do as they pleased. They were now immortals with responsibilities.
It was also then that these new immortals discovered that there were no new people in the divine realm for tens of thousands of years. There was only the goddess looking down on everything, but she had already disappeared.
The final outcome was that the remaining four people guarded their respective worlds. Due to their immortality, they lived forever in loneliness.
Lin Xiaowan found the ending hard to accept. She complained, “Why can’t they just stay together in the divine realm and find people with the potential to become immortals? Why do they have to separate? Why can’t they be together?”
Huo Zheng did not know what to say to comfort her so he only hugged her and stroked her back silently.
In the end, Lin Xiaowan, who felt extremely uncomfortable, fell asleep.
When the first day of filming started, Lin Xiaowan followed Gu Yuwu and the production team enthusiastically. Her scenes had not been arranged yet so all she had to do was follow Gu Yuwu for now.
Lin Xiaowan, who was with the production team, thought to herself excitedly, “Let me have a look! Let me have a look! Where are the protagonists?’
On the first day of filming, the first of the leading actors Lin Xiaowan saw was a young actor who was a child star. Lin Xiaowan had seen his movies and dramas before so she was rather familiar with him. He was dressed in a blue robe, and he played the character of a wealthy young master among the nine people. He was one of the last people who died tragically in the end.
Following that, the leading actors arrived in an orderly manner. Everyone took a photo for the opening of the film. There were so many people that they had to stand in four or five rows.
Lin Xiaowan did not seem uncomfortable surrounded by so many people this time when she took the photo. There were so many people in the photo that it would be difficult to pick her out from the crowd.
After that, she sent Huo Zheng the photo along with a message.
[Can you find me in the crowd?]
