the demise of the fallen world, I embrace the continuous redness Pushing one’s way into atonement; This role of the white lotus’ is a thousand-year corridor Suddenly in the center of my field of vision, with trembling emotions, on the opposite side a straight silver thread only whispers to my hand’s palm “…It must have been designed like that.” That is, the STORY that seems to be about capturing the spider. Whoever you are, even if you are a helpless idiot, I rolled a “die” akin to love that was about to be torn into a thousand pieces Even if I realized that the thread was “the red color” that shone lustrously in hell I could only cling onto it. In the center of the fallen world, I seized the endless dream When I looked into the bottom, thousands of limbs clinged on to it How far did they manage to climb up? How much did they struggle? They sobbed blood so much it could fill a pond, the ones who crawled and screamed seemed to be sinners It was not as if I reached my hand out, you looked at me as if I was struggling -and you ridiculed at me, right? Just like how I did so in the past “Even so, I loved you.” The STORY about capturing the spider Even if you are a god, even if you are the Buddha who promised for “salvation,” I clang onto the “die” akin to love that was about to be torn into a thousand pieces Even if I realized that the thread was “the red color” that shone lustrously in hell I could only cling onto it. Whoever you are, even if you are a helpless idiot, I had already collected ”love” akin to a die that was about to be torn into a thousand pieces I shouted, “This thread is my aim!” to the cloud(spider)’s treasonable intent (thread) that I rejected, ah -I could do nothing but to cling onto it
This is so sad. At first like a kid i couldn't understand why Zhongli did what he did. But now seeing how the pain of the trapped obligation he felt, i can understand that now.
there was also the inevitability of erosion and becoming a threat to liyue, isn't there? he had been around for so long. he must have felt relieved to have let it go and settled down.
This is one of the few fanworks that goes beyond adding to the story but enables someone to better understand a character as they are in the original work. I never connected with Zhongli's story enough but this animation illustrated it beautifully. Your work is amazing!
I dont understand the words yet i feel like i understand whats going on. Zhongli went through a lot... Beautiul animatic, thank you for sharing here, i will sure come back to watch it again
Sometimes, I watch masterpieces like this video. It is in a language I do not understand. And it almost feels like I just missed something. Simply because I do not understand the language in which this video is done in. Which is a shame since this is a beautiful animation.
I was thinking as I watched this, "I wish I could learn all the languages in the world, so I could understand all the creations made by fans like this."
The detail of this is so fine and sensitive, it’s unbelievable. That you added Guizhong, the character many forgot probably due to the new versions but still no one should forget, is what made Zhongli who he is today. He truly cared for her more than for anyone and each time I imagine Zhongli I always see Guizhong’s Silhouette in the background- thank you for this absolutely irreplaceable piece and also including the Goddess of Salt too, there are so endlessly many things to know about Zhongli in total, and it’s just sad the fandom made it that he get’s memed all the time- but then, Xiao came into his life. My head canon always tells me that Guizhong gave him the task to look after Xiao, surely, and because he always has that in mind, he will never give up his life and live on, also for Xiao’s sake and to make Guizhong’s wish FULLY true.
This made me understand Zhongli a bit better now. Thank you for making this ! It has quite the bittersweet ending, at least in my opinion, and the song really fits to his story :)
I wish more people will find your video and give lots of likes! Zhongli looks so much like the original! And of course, the animation is amazing! You are incredibly talented!
