I Am Nobody Episode 27 (Ending) Recap
> I Am Nobody Recap
After arriving in this dimension, Huan explained everything about the space. She revealed it was the place where the Eight Supremes were developed eighty years ago. Having escaped from the Lyu family, she had spent years trying all sorts of methods to return but remained only at the edge of the Outsiders' world.
She described the Valley of 24 Terms not merely as a location, but another dimension, the true Outsiders' world and the origin of all Outsider energy, capable of influencing the present, past, and future. She explained that all this time, the energy flow seemed stagnant to her, preventing her physical body from growing and making it impossible for her to enter the Valley alone, expressing surprise that they had brought her back there.
Huan also reminisced about the past, when nine of them, including herself, Fourth Brother, and Dummy, were isolated in the Valley, seeking enlightenment together, experiencing a unique camaraderie, happiness, and a true sense of fulfillment. She stated she couldn't have developed her Double Quan Palm anywhere else and described the feeling of achieving enlightenment as the most genuine sense of mastering one's own destiny, like being one with the world and feeling its rhythm.
Zhang Chulan learned that his grandfather had developed Qi Apotheosis in this same place. Lyu Liang expressed deep regret, realizing he had become the person Huan most disliked, failing to be the good brother she deserved and instead harming others. Overcome with remorse, he decided to turn himself in to NDT. He urged Zhang Chulan not to follow his path and to protect Feng Baobao, the person who meant the most to him.
Following his decision, Lyu Liang received a lighter sentence from NDT, while others associated with the Lyu family were severely punished for their unlawful detention and intentional harm to Duanmu Ying. As they proceeded under Huan's guidance, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao discovered a statue resembling Feng Baobao, depicted looking very happy. Feng Baobao recognized it as herself and commented on her cheerful appearance. Huan revealed that Fourth Brother had carved it.
Duanmu Ying, speaking through Huan's body, continued to reveal details about the past. She explained that Feng Baobao's father, who greatly doted on her, had gathered the Eight Supremes users in the Valley eighty years ago after she was involved in an accident. His intention was for all eight to work together, as only their combined efforts could fully revive her and restore her original self, but Huan stated she couldn't come because the Lyu family had detained her.
She then promised to return what she owed, revealing that back then only Feng Baobao's body was awakened, while her memories had remained in the cave all these years. Prompted by seeing someone cry for her on the train and a strong desire to understand her past and her father, including how he doted on her, Feng Baobao expressed a clear wish for her memories and readily followed.
Zhang Chulan, witnessing this, urgently cautioned Feng Baobao not to completely trust what was being said, but she was intent on regaining her memories. Duanmu Ying, still using Huan's body, prepared to cast a qi formation, instructing them to step back. She recounted being imprisoned and tortured by the Lyu family while the other eight were reviving Feng Baobao, and how she had believed her companions would rescue her but they never did, leading her to conclude they didn't care.
Then, revealing her true, malevolent intent, Duanmu Ying, speaking directly, declared the world was filled with malice. She claimed Feng Baobao's body, housing the power of the Eight Supremes, rightfully belonged to her and stated that once she possessed its power, she would be invincible. She revealed her plan was to extract Feng Baobao's memories to make way for her own. Zhang Chulan recognized her as Duanmu Ying and accused her of harming Xu Huan.
Recognizing Duanmu Ying's true, destructive goal, Zhang Chulan immediately attempted to stop her and rescue Feng Baobao, despite knowing his strength was limited. He tried to break through a powerful qi barrier Duanmu Ying had erected, but his attacks were reflected back. Duanmu Ying declared the barrier was formed by the collective power of the Eight Supremes and was unbreakable, even by powerful figures.
As Zhang Chulan struggled desperately against the barrier, risking severe injury, he recalled cherished moments with Feng Baobao, including their 'master-slave' game, which underscored the depth of his connection to her. Despite knowing he could be gravely harmed, he felt stopping was not an option, preferring physical pain over losing his dignity by abandoning her. He pleaded with Feng Baobao, telling her their 'game' was over and urging her to come back.
Tragically, he witnessed Duanmu Ying extracting and destroying Feng Baobao's memories. He called out to her, questioning why she didn't protect herself, and saw her become confused and disoriented. Zhang Chulan collapsed, feeling close to death, yet hearing the encouraging voices of his friends and mentors. He realized his connection to them had become an inseparable part of him, like the universe and stars are integrated.
Drawing strength from these bonds and his love for Feng Baobao, he resolved to continue fighting. He acknowledged he couldn't save the entire world but was determined to protect the person he cared about most.
As he rose again to confront Duanmu Ying's formidable power, he declared that Feng Baobao had protected him for years, and now it was his turn to protect her, recognizing that the true peak of qi techniques lay not in solitary power but in the companions made along the journey. Fueled by his determination and the supportive presence of his companions (felt remotely), Zhang Chulan confronted and defeated Duanmu Ying, causing her to disappear.
Zhang Chulan subsequently fell unconscious for three months. Upon waking, he discovered that due to Duanmu Ying's actions, Feng Baobao had lost her memories and no longer recognized him, though she had diligently cared for him during his recovery. Despite her changed demeanor, Zhang Chulan accepted her memory loss and resolved to start anew, reintroducing himself and expressing his willingness to become her follower once more.
As he stepped outside, he was met by his friends, including San and Si, who had been waiting for him. Feng Baobao introduced him to them as her new slave before they all departed together on an urgent mission, lacking even time to eat. Reflecting on their journey, some felt Feng Baobao's memory loss might be the best possible outcome. This chapter of their story concluded with a partial unveiling of the Jiashen Calamity's secrets.
It became clear that Zhang Chulan's Qi Apotheosis had significantly disrupted the entire Outsiders' world, setting the stage for new adventures and revealing that the situation was urgent and they were running out of time to deal with the consequences. The narrative concludes with a delivery person arriving and startling the recipient with their striking resemblance to the female lead the recipient had drawn.
