Well WSG is an anomaly, he remember the past... but which timeline 🤣
From what it was shown, it almost felt like that WSG just appear in the new timeline he was shock to see You Chi look proper.
As to him saying this is the world you die to save to JL.
In his mind JL might as well be dead, he doesn't know what happen to JL after the time gate closed.
I know people suggest that O cause JL in this timeline to die from clearing the drought early, but I don't think that's the case. cause of my theory about LWY and JL.
I STRONGLY believe that is how the event play out that LWY and JL time loop is fixed.
Because if it not it really remove the importance of that scene... What do you mean JL was gonna be alive anyway ? so LWY did all of that for him ? and in a different time line he was gonna be alive anyway with out LWY cutting her tail and telling him to dont be sad dont cry I'll always be with you.
So I really believe in the new timeline WSG in with out LWY, Ji Ling of that timeline wouldnt have live past that cave scene with A'Wu

I mean if you put it that way it sound like YWH was always going to die if he eat the dragon scale, we don't know that cause it never happen.
Cause Ji Ling ate it and he was alive. What if it cure YWH wasting sickness ?
But I dont disagree with you, there was the plan, but there was a flaw with it and Chi Wen created a new one
Also LWY was created after the event of the Flood Dragon Masscare, so we can assume JL killing the fox queen wouldnt change that fact WSG was lost to the shilin sect
As WSG master would still meet his end with Wu Zhi Qi
and WSG would still carry the hatred for the shilin sect

Remember, LWY was created AFTER the event of the Flood Dragon clan.
This is when the WSG master blew WWY up, and she took each piece of the foxes to create LWY.
So JL going back to kill YJ here would not change the fact that WSG master took him away at Dragon Abyss
The Shilin Sect then lost track of WSG. WSG Master would also pass away with the event following Wu Zhi Qi
These events are unchanged by Ji Ling killing the Fox Queen early
He would eventually be at the Shilin Sect because of his hatred for dragon
All of this time, while this is happening, YWH would have died, and all of the people in the Shilin sect would have died because the event of YWH took place 150 years ago. There literally 100-year gap

Yeah you can put it like that or he doesn't need a vessel and just need someone who immortal to be the fake dragon deity.
Maybe that was his original intend all along with YWH, until Ji Ling out of love for his "brother" took his place ... Maybe that why Chi Wen call it the eternal shackle.
Even if it was not intentional, Chi Wen trying to create the vessels inadvertently created the conditions needed for the time loop.

Firstly, Chi Wen original plan was to have a vessel so he can move his spirit to. This was change at the last minute because he didn't want to sacrifice Ji Ling. So he suggest the creation of the 10th dragon.
Secondly Li Jie existence is strictly tie to Ji Ling, In a world Ji Ling does not exist YWH his two obsession would not have exist. Protect him and set him free.
If we want to consider the new timeline at the end that WSG is in, it a timeline that one LWY never existed and Ji Ling sadly committed suicided after witnessing people around him die and dying in that cave with his A 'Wu.
This because Ji Ling existence is strictly tie to LWY , after that cave scene
What you are seeing is essentially a classic bootstrap paradox.
If LWY no longer exists in the original world, then JL had no one to stop him from suicide
Logically, this would be true if every version of his suicide always happened the exact same way.
Because the loop seems to work like this:
LWY exists → enters the time loop → realizes she cannot save him through ordinary means → goes back to the point when JL is at his loneliest → prevents his death → JL survives and becomes LS → JY creates LWY to get close to JL → All the events that lead to LWY to go back to the moment when she severed her tail to give hope to JL
This order of event which creates a closed causal loop.
So LWY’s existence depends on JL surviving, while JL surviving depends on LWY existing. That is the paradox.
What JL does at the end of episode 29 appears to break that loop, which is why it can resolve the contradiction. He introduces a new choice outside the repeating chain of cause and effect.
There is a caveat to this, though he made those decisions in episode 29 with knowledge of the loop given by Lonescale
However, they did a poor job of showcasing the paradox, as they were indeed "fated ones" where one must live while the other must die. It literally means that, because if you look at the loop, they are the reason the other is alive/exists

But also not all loop hole are equal as some can be narrative breaking.
Like I cant say for sure that WSG still somehow doesnt end up at shilin sect early and maybe with him there it would prevented Ji Ling from dying.
Also Ji Ling could still be alive cause Ji Can wouldn't want him to die there
Cause Ji Ling ate it and he was alive. What if it cure YWH wasting sickness ?

JY at that point 100% doesnt have the power to do that.
