To Gao Yuan, Lizhizi was different from the others.
When Lizhizi died, Gao Yuan's dream of being a knight-errant shattered along with Lizhizi.
When Lizhizi died, Shenzhou's last pure Taoist just vanished like that.
When Lizhizi died, all the romance, all the fantasies, all the longing dissipated with his death.
Lizhizi was not the spiritual pillar of Spark Squad, but he was the most beautiful hue in the hearts of Spark Squad members because each of them could find a reflection of themselves in him.
The knight-errant, a dream rooted in one's heart since childhood, dissipated with Lizhizi's death, as the Serpent People showed everyone with a single test that wandering the world with a sword was, after all, just a dream.
So with the death of Lizhizi, the last color of romanticism was taken away.
When Lizhizi died, Spark Squad also permanently shed its idealistic shell.
The Serpent People killed Lizhizi, and from then on, Spark Squad had to face the most brutal reality.
