EPISODE CONTEXT

Episode 170 lands precisely at the series' halfway mark, following "Reality Does Not Meet Expectations" (169) and leading into "Tianlan Star Appears" (171), which together suggest a narrative trajectory moving from disillusionment through cosmic revelation toward a specific celestial destination. The title progression indicates this episode serves as a critical bridge—closing out one phase of the protagonist's journey and opening the door to an entirely new, universe-scale chapter. This appears to be a pivotal turning point in the broader arc structure of the series.
