“Slaying Gods: The Mortal Realm of Gods” once again tells us with strength what is truly “heart-wrenching”. The sentence “If the dark night finally comes, I will stand in front of tens of thousands of people. I will cross my sword to the abyss and stain the sky with blood.” is not only the belief of the night watchers, but also the resonance in the hearts of every audience. And Zhao Kongcheng’s sacrifice has given this sentence the most real annotation.
Zhao Kongcheng’s last knife: What he guarded with his life was not only the world of that child. Zhao Kongcheng, this seemingly unruly and careless man, showed awe-inspiring determination at the critical moment. He knew that he was about to die, but he still smiled and said to Lin Qiye: “Watch this knife.” This sentence is not only a trust to Lin Qiye, but also a protection written with his life.
Zhao Kongcheng has no lofty words. The only thing he wants to protect is the whole world of that child. That knife not only cut the end of the enemy, but also the end of his own destiny. How can this fearless and lonely spirit not be heartbreaking?
The portrayal of Zhao Kongcheng in the article is the pinnacle of the emotional line of the work. It is this kind of “interweaving of cruelty and burning” emotion that makes it difficult for the audience to let go. His sacrifice is the last protection of light and his last farewell to the world. In the face of all this, Lin Qiye’s grief seems to have resonated with every one of us viewers.
The departure of Zhao Kongcheng not only brought the story to an emotional climax, but also made each of us think: When facing darkness and the unknown, can we also stand up fearlessly like him?
Will you choose to give up everything for others like Zhao Kongcheng? Do you think his choice is worth it?
