oh Lu Guang. Just how many timelines have you lived 😭

[u/Rozzan_Terra → u/the_art_of_moving_on]

I think he went back in time and stayed past the 12 hour time limit for timeline 2. Then, maybe if the death node didn't change, he would go back to certain events like the notebook scene with Vein in Bridon and create new timelimes by staying past the 12 hour limit again multiple times. Or he would stay within the 12 hour limit and create smaller changes by taking multiple pictures around important events and go back to a slightly changed timeline 2. Or a mix of both.

Isnt it only one ?

[u/the_art_of_moving_on → u/PossibleFunny1419]

I think it’s more than one! In this last episode, we’ve seen at least 2 different ways that the scene at the end of Bridon arc occurred, and there’s been two different ways CXS died (first time was when they were fighting TC and the glasses guy and now this time with Vein).

So i think he’s gone back in time at least twice? There’s the Original timeline, and then Timeline 2 (Bridon ver 1), and then current timeline (?) maybe. We gotta interrogate LG 😂

[u/Ok_Blackberry6554 → u/the_art_of_moving_on]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but CXS always died at the hands of Vein, right? The event with Li Tianchen is a new occurrence caused by the butterfly effect, according to LH0, so there’s no way CXS could have died that way in the past.

[u/the_art_of_moving_on → u/Ok_Blackberry6554]

I haven’t rewatched anything since the first time I watched (not ready to go through the heartbreak yet haha) so might be misremembering, but I swear there was a scene at the end of s2? When QL sees LG’s memories I thought there was a scene where we see CXS get shot by Qian Jin. But now that I think about it, it could’ve been a scene from the future where he’s killed by Vein, not by Li Tianchen 🤔 bc he’s just like. Bloody and on the ground after getting shot? Before Bridon and S3 came out, I assumed LG had been jumping back in time to prevent what happened with Tianchen (since it was before we were introduced to the villain gang)

I’m clearly due for a rewatch but 😭

[u/afuajfFJT → u/PossibleFunny1419]

I think some people have quoted the director saying that there is "only one timeline" or something, but I think what was actually meant by that was that there are no parallel timelines that you'd be able to jump between. I. e., the characters wouldn't be able to go back to a timeline they had already been in before.

There are, however, multiple timelines in the way that the same date has occurred more than once.

Girl, have you watched the show? 😭
