The recent premiere of the new drama "The Last Immortal," starring Zhao Lu Si and co-starring the young actor Wang An Yu, has caught the attention of viewers. After watching several episodes, I must admit that I had some difficulty grasping the underlying storyline. Zhao Lu Si's character seems to transform from a ethereal ghost draped in white robes, to an imminent hatching phoenix, and then to a humanoid water spirit known as the "Water Nymph."

Unexpectedly, these transformations not only disrupt the phoenix's rebirth process, but also result in the devouring of Zhao Lu Si's character's spiritual power, leading to her tragic demise. This event sets in motion the gears of destiny. The furious Heavenly Emperor imprisons Yuan Qi, played by Wang An Yu, behind Mount Daze, declaring that he will only be released once Donghua ascends to godhood. However, it is during this time that Yuan Qi unexpectedly hatches a Water Nymph named "A Yin."

In fact, "A Yin" is also a fragment of the phoenix's essence, hence why the phoenix and the Water Nymph appear identical in the television series. Before ascending to godhood, Donghua, the senior deity, informs Yuan Qi that he can retrieve the phoenix's scattered soul and spirit from the Wutong Divine Tree within the Three Realms. Subsequently, Yuan Qi and A Yin embark on a journey of leveling up and battling adversaries. They manage to locate the Wutong Tree within the Nine Nether Purgatory and successfully retrieve the soul and spirit, but they find themselves hunted by the malevolent Flower of Divine Execution.

Under the control of the demonic tribe, a fox named Ajiu is commanded to massacre the disciples of Mount Daze, resulting in Ajiu's eventual imprisonment in the Locking Immortal Pagoda. Witnessing the tragic deaths of his fellow disciples, Yuan Qi's chaotic divine power awakens, facilitating his ascension to godhood. Phoenix, now awakened, assumes her position as the Phoenix Emperor. She becomes extremely indifferent towards Yuan Qi and no longer dwells on romantic affairs, focusing solely on finding the culprit responsible for the massacre at Mount Daze.

Ultimately, the truth is revealed, but Yuan Qi's soul is scattered during the war between the immortals and demons. It is discovered that over a thousand years ago, Yuan Qi used his divine power to awaken the deceased immortals of Mount Daze. Although he perished a millennium ago, a fragment of his true divine soul remained in the mortal realm, awaiting A Yin's return.

Overwhelmed with sorrow, Phoenix embarks on a quest to find a way to resurrect Yuan Qi.

Having finished reading the original work, I feel a sense of melancholy mixed with bewilderment. These immortals possess boundless magical abilities and live carefree lives, yet they always seem to seek unnecessary conflicts and misunderstandings. Despite the fact that they could resolve everything through communication, they choose to remain silent, leading to tragic consequences. It is only after the other person's demise that they deeply regret not cherishing the time they had together.

Reflecting on this, aren't we humans similar? None of us truly enjoy a completely tranquil life; we all seek excitement and adventure. As the writer Liu Yong once wrote in his book, "Humans are naturally drawn to adventure, novelty, and the feeling of shaking the heavens." Perhaps it is the presence of unknown changes that makes life interesting and worthwhile.
