In the drama, yes. She's asking if it was the same in the novel as in the drama. If MY body is dead and it was an illusion in the novel as well.
In the novel, Mingye kept on reliving the dream for 10,000 years.
In the drama, he had already died not long after SJ under the lightning curse, but still created a dream under the river to wait for TTJ, and give the fated Devil God a chance to experience life as a God whose only job is to protect the world. Except, as soon as TTJ came out, he said MY was an idiot, and that he wants to replace the Devil Gods place . Guess the lesson didn't stick that well lol
Pang Yizhi explained that Mingye had reached a state of nirvana after he died 10,000 years ago, hence why he turned to dust after the dream ended.
