There are moments when the night falls apart.
Even when the moon disappears.
It’s not because the stars stop shining.
It’s not out of fear of the approaching day, nor because the sun is rising.
It’s when there is no one waiting for the night.
Or when no one remembers it anymore.
Only then does the night fall apart.
the OG Gu really decided to mog his descendant lol
he's used to it after all he's had to do it to every one of them who got good with the flame. I think this process of beating them breaks them in a sense and the flame controls them, remember his father said he never had a good relationship with his father because even tho his dad was present in his life it wasn't him anymore. It's like once you become op enough the goblin turns you into a flame that lives to protect the gate of the world. Thats the curse that was put on the Gu family to live for the world since the goblin was the one that opened the door.
