Chapter 78: Bearing the Burden of Fate (Including Comic Forum)...
4892L Original Poster:
Let me start with a point that no one has mentioned, but which is actually quite strange.
age.
Yanju and Yanlan are twins; they were born at the same time and came into contact with this world.
Yanlan and Lin Cai were childhood playmates, and this can be seen from several flashback scenes; at least in appearance, they were about the same age.
Therefore, we can conclude that Yanju and Yanlan are the same age as Lin Cai.
However, when Yanju appeared as an adult, he was already at the pinnacle of strength in the entire manga.
4893L:
I know what the original poster meant by stopping here, and yes, I was very surprised.
I'm so surprised! Oh my god, Director Yan is such a genius!
As expected of my favorite.
And Lin Cai, what else can you do besides squatting around calling Yanlan, Lanlan, Lanlan all day?
Look at Yan Ju, who is your age and started from the same point as you. He's already at the ceiling of strength in the Underworld.
Crushing a bunch of old fogies (not really).
How can you sleep at your age? Get up and study!
4894L:
Hahahaha, is the person upstairs trying to make me laugh to death?
4895L:
Suddenly it occurred to me, Lin Cai, you're the protagonist of an adventure manga!
Your peers are already the ultimate bosses in the entire anime.
4896L:
The Curse of the Laws: Hellish Joke +1
...
7503L Original Poster:
As mentioned earlier, given their age, it's unreasonable that Yan Ju and Lin Cai, who are supposedly the same age, have already surpassed a bunch of old fogies.
Therefore, I think that Director Yan's age is incorrect.
Let's look at it again. Yanju almost never appeared when he was a child.
From the conversation between Lin Cai and Yan Lan, we can tell that they are students.
Doesn't Director Yan go to school?
Moreover, with two children in the family, doesn't Yanju need food, clothing, and shelter? If he does need food, clothing, and shelter, didn't the neighbors notice that this family has two children?
How could no one in the small town know her?
Living in the same house, Yanlan and Yanju had become so unfamiliar with each other that they were practically strangers.
No matter how much friction there is between children, this is not the way to behave.
There's only one possibility: Yanju's condition was off when he was a child.
She is unable to leave her home and is also unable to contact outsiders.
Things related to gods and laws are suitable for adults, but for a cub...
It's hard to judge.
I even suspect that she was in a state of slumber and time stand still when she was a child.
It was through this state of time stagnation that she gradually gained control of her power.
Also note that in Lin Cai's two recollections, I judged the time sequence by the chess game.
Because of these two scenes, Yanlan hardly changed.
Although Lin Cai has the same hairstyle in both scenes, she appears to have grown taller.
[Height comparison image of Yanlan and Lin Cai in the first scene.jpg]
[Comparison of Yanlan and Lin Cai's heights in Act 2.jpg]
Lin Cai went from being a head shorter than Yan Lan to being half a head taller than Yan Lan.
Doesn't it seem like Yanlan has also remained in the same place?
Therefore, the true ages of Yanlan and Yanju need to be determined.
Yan Lan's strength is outstanding. As seen in the latest chapters, Yan Lan's strength is also exceptional.
During their fight amidst the exploding airship, Wei Ning exclaimed, "Are you a water-elemental archmage?"
This should be a very significant strength.
Therefore, I think that both Yanju and Yanlan stayed in the cubs for a considerable period of time.
At the same time, their supermodel status also stems from this.
7504L:
Oh my god!
7505L:
That's true, isn't it?
I think I know what the original poster is trying to say.
Although the world-building of "The Curse of Laws" hasn't been fully explored yet, in worlds where gods and laws exist, there is usually an exchange of equivalents.
Since Yanju has been associated with gods and laws since childhood, she will only have to pay a higher price.
As a cub, being asleep and having time stand still is the most likely and only possible solution.
In addition, I also zoomed in on the screenshots posted by the original poster and discovered something new: the gold lock hanging around Yanlan's neck is a longevity lock.
It is generally used by elders to express their wish that their children will live a long and healthy life.
This is a fantasy world where potions, magic, cultivation, elixirs... even the most serious illnesses are generally minor matters.
How can someone who is healthy and free from illness have such expectations?
The other child will not live long.
Therefore, they worry and dare not invest in love.
Instead, they poured all their love into the healthy child, hoping she would be safe, healthy, lively, and cheerful.
Yanlan was really well taken care of when she was a child, and you can see that in her personality.
7506L:
...
My tears are already falling. I have no resentment or hatred. Why did you stab me upstairs?
Waaaaaah, my Yanju, the unwanted child survived in the end.
And they went very far, far enough to try to protect the other cubs.
7507L:
In Yan Ju's personal biography, it's mentioned that he directly punished many people because of the cubs on the Giant Jade Plain. Perhaps this empathy stems from his own past experiences...
She was a child whom no one expected to survive, but she survived anyway, and she wanted to ensure that the other cubs would survive as well.
7508L:
Are you guys toxic?
Without any concrete evidence, they start making things up and subtly attacking Lanlan?
If it's really as you say, that your Director Yan was destined to die young, why did your mother only take Director Yan and not our Lanlan?
It's generally reasonable to take only the healthy ones with you, right?
How do you explain this?
7509L:
I came here to read the original poster's analysis of Yanlan's fate, not to see you fans of the Director secretly smearing my wife while simultaneously promoting Director Yan.
Why is it that just because "beautiful, strong, and tragic" is a trendy character trope, you, Director Yan, are forcing yourself to emulate it even though you don't have a tragic past?
7510L:
The upstairs neighbor is talkative, talkative, and loves to listen.
7511L:
And what kind of undeserved disaster has befallen my wife? Because the older sister needs to freeze time and sleep to live, she also froze the younger sister's time?
Although Yanlan may have gained great strength because of this, I would prefer that she be a happy little girl who grows up according to normal rules.
7512L:
This behavior is really baffling.
7513L Original Poster:
Let's not argue yet. Having discussed age and ability, let's move on to the next point.
I agree with part of what 7505L said; the elders feel guilty towards Yanlan.
However, I believe that guilt does not come from making amends, but from within oneself, which is also the breakthrough point in my speculation about Yanlan's fate.
Yanju's attitude towards Yanlan was very strange.
Many posts say that Yanju felt guilty towards his younger sister because Yanlan was taken away by her mother, while Yanju was not, which is why he spoiled her so much.
I don't think it can be entirely called guilt; there should be something else besides guilt.
This makes it very obvious.
[Screenshot of the conversation between the High Priestess of the Elves and Yan Ju.jpg]
Here, the high priest asked Yanju what her relationship was to Yanlan, and Yanju's answer was quite subtle.
She avoided directly saying that I was Yanlan's older sister, and instead said, "Shan Fengyang is my grandmother."
It's like when your mom's friend asks you what the relationship is between your mom and your dad, and you say you're your dad's child.
I answered, but the way I answered was very strange.
In the example I gave above, the child avoids talking about the marital relationship because the parents' relationship is not good.
People subconsciously avoid things that make them feel uncomfortable.
Given that Director Yan has been so indulgent towards Yan Lan and has had interactions with Yan Lan after she came of age, this avoidance is quite interesting.
7513L:
After the original poster's analysis, I suddenly thought of something very strange.
Yes, Director Yan is very indulgent towards Yan Lan.
This level of indulgence is even bordering on out-of-character (OOC) and has no bottom line.
I don't mean anything by this, but as someone who takes fairness as her guiding principle, no matter how complicated her feelings are (I even think that Director Yan doesn't have such complicated emotions), she shouldn't go against her own principles.
It's understandable that Yan Lan bombed the black market, but it's completely inconsistent with her character that Yan Lan used Director Yan's authority to obtain contraband from the branch office and injured the branch office leader by using Director Yan's curse. Director Yan not only didn't stop her but also condoned it.
I don't think Director Yan is the kind of person with selfish motives.
7514L:
I think it's guilt.
7515L:
There are far more people whose experiences are more tragic than Yan Lan's. Director Yan, who is supposed to uphold fairness and the rule of law, should not be treated this way.
She does feel guilty, but the guilt shouldn't be this heavy.
...
9817L Original Poster:
The replies in the thread are so fast, I haven't even finished typing yet.
Yes. In my personal opinion, Director Yan's feelings towards Yan Lan are not one of guilt, but rather an attempt to make amends.
Someone upstairs said that Yanlan was wearing a longevity lock around her neck.
Longevity locks are generally only used to express metaphysical blessings when a child is not expected to live long.
The Otherworld, isn't that mystical enough? Asking for such a blessing is more like self-comfort.
The fact that Mom only took Yanju away also indirectly confirmed my guess.
If anyone is to be taken away, it should be the healthy one. Yanju was the healthy child later on, while Yanlan was the one who wouldn't live long.
The pause was during which two children were being saved simultaneously.
Now that the background information has been covered, let's move on to the conclusion.
Yanju's fate is related to the laws and the gods. She is the wielder of fairness and justice, so she will become exceptionally powerful after overcoming the tribulations of her infancy.
As twins born from the same birth, Yanlan is also very powerful.
As mentioned earlier, the underworld is very fair, based on equivalent exchange.
I estimate that Yanlan's fate is that she is destined to die before reaching a certain age, and that she will die because of events related to laws and gods.
For every powerful being to be born, one must be sacrificed.
This is also why Director Yan is so indulgent towards Yan Lan.
She wanted Yanlan to die willingly for the sake of fairness.
This speculation also has solid evidence.
So it was Libertas who overheard Guan Yunji and Yanlan's conversation:
[Guan Yunji with her hands behind her back (enlarged screenshot).jpg]
Guan Yunji was trying to predict Yan Lan's fate, but she couldn't.
Yanju has it.
One of them is walking towards an endless life and a future that becomes the law, while the other is walking towards a future destined for death.
9818L:
So, is Director Yan's indulgence of Yanlan a sign that he wants his sister to willingly walk towards death?
9819L:
Good knife. But this way, it perfectly matches the character's image.
The original poster's analysis is correct. Of the two children born from Gemini, one is related to laws and gods, which I estimate to be a new god.
As for the other one, her future is hard to predict.
God has no relatives.
Yanlan might really die for fairness.
The years she spent away from her mother, though arduous, were perhaps the freest of her life.
