The Last Immortal: Highly Anticipated Fantasy Drama Starring Zhao Lu Si
The upcoming fantasy drama "The Last Immortal," starring Zhao Lu Si, is set to air soon. As one of the few TV dramas of the year, "The Last Immortal" is highly anticipated by audiences. Many viewers might have already seen its predecessor, the fantasy drama "Eternal Jade Dust," starring Zhou Dongyu. "The Last Immortal" is a sequel to that series and tells the story of Yuan Qi, the son of the ancient Chaos Supreme God and the White Jade True God, who is banished to the mortal realm.
The drama primarily focuses on Yuan Qi, who, after being banished and renamed Gu Jin, becomes a disciple of the Eastern Hua Sovereign. However, due to an "accident," he inadvertently absorbs the spiritual power of the second Phoenix of Nirvana, causing the failure of the Nirvana and dispersing the Phoenix's soul. As a result, Gu Jin is punished, and Feng Ran, who is extremely protective of him, discovers Gu Jin's identity. Faced with Yuan Qi, Feng Ran can only take strict measures and confines him to the Daze Mountain until the Eastern Hua Sovereign ascends to godhood, allowing him to leave the mountain.
Unexpectedly, during his time of confinement, Gu Jin discovers the egg of the Water Condensing Beast and hatches a creature named A Yin. However, his methods of "hatching" are quite shocking, almost boiling A Yin like a seasoned egg. If not for A Yin's fortunate survival, Gu Jin would have almost killed it. A Yin, in the form of a humanoid, begins her own "revenge." She becomes a disciple of the Eastern Hua Sovereign and seizes the opportunity to capture Gu Jin. Employing the same methods, she prepares a pot of braised divine child, with condiments like star anise and bay leaves. Gu Jin is hilariously bound and ready to be cooked at any time. A Yin treats Gu Jin the same way he treated her as an egg, starting off with the braised divine child. Who has ever witnessed such an operation?
Next, there's Chang Qin, who in the previous season, due to Qing Li's intervention, ended up feeling disheartened and returned to the Nine-Tailed Demon Clan. However, this time, she changed her name to Hong Ruo and became Hong Yi's aunt. Unfortunately, she later becomes possessed by the Demon Sovereign, committing several grave mistakes. Whether Chang Qin and Sen Yu can reconcile in this season remains uncertain.
Another character who changed her name is Qing Li. In the previous season, she was the most scheming presence, but this season she becomes Qing Lin. In the previous season, she caused a rift between the God of Demons Tian Qi and the Demon Emperor, indirectly causing the death of Jing Jian. She was killed by Zi Han, but as a Nine-Tailed Fox, Qing Li has nine lives and can resurrect. In the original work, she was banished to the Jiuyou and became the Demon Sovereign, making her power even more terrifying.
Apart from the antagonist, the Demon Sovereign Qing Lin, this drama also features a cunning female character similar to Jing Zhao and Wu Huan, named Hua Shu. However, Hua Shu is much more ruthless than Wu Huan, as Wu Huan's transformation had a reason, while Hua Shu goes to extreme lengths for power, even capable of killing her own fiancé. She is truly a ruthless and terrifying femme fatale.
Overall, the TV adaptation of "The Last Immortal" maintains a high level of faithfulness to the original material and is worth watching. For viewers who are interested, it provides an opportunity to delve into the plot together!
