Since, this thread is specifically for the series rather than the book, I'll repost my questions here from the FAQ thread. Would appreciate help in filling gaps in my understanding of Episode 33.
I keep forgetting some character names/terms but hopefully you can make sense of my questions.
What is the heartless way exactly? Is it not forming any love connections? It wasn't really explained. She simply mentions it when her father talks about her fiance. And she when ever she thinks about Tantai Jin, she says it is making it hard for her to follow the Heartless way.
Tantai Jin figures out that the two demons from the Barren Abyss might know how to destroy the evil bone. He pretends to be the devil god and asks the female demon is the bone might have been destroyed. She says that as long as creatures of the 3 realms are alive and there is suffering (some other word was used), the evil bone can't be destroyed. And if there is any weakness in the plan, that is only known to him. She later reveals she saw through TTJ's trickery. So could she have lied about the evil bone being indestructible?
If the 3 demon relics can interact with TTJ drawing him to become the devil god, wasn't the whole time travel pointless? It doesn't make sense that Li Su Su is keeping all that happened from the elders when she doesn't even have the answers herself.
And what was happening at the festival? They chose a demon who can lock on to feelings of love or anyone you are scared of. How did Li Su Su get drunk and vulnerable to attack when they were on a hunt? And then how did the demon learn about everything related to Tantai Jin when it was LSS and Xiao Lin she attacked?
Also, the sect guy that told TTJ to find LXW's soul in the river got kidnapped by the demons. Is he now a bad guy? He sent them information on TTJ's whereabouts.
I also didn't understand their plan for the demons in the first place. How was hosting the tournament going to help? And despite having so many tribes, they still escaped. Where were all the contestants?
