 +No. 2: //Reignbow Arbiter//\\

 +//I urge you to forget about life and death. Let us fight now to turn the tide. I would like to teach you to be ever victorious, brave, and enduring.//
 +
 +About four thousand to five thousand years ago, the Xianzhou experienced the chaotic Three Sufferings Era. From a wider perspective, the collapse of social order on each Xianzhou ship is an insignificant bit of history. Instead, the bloody battle of life and death was the tone of that era. Reignbow Arbiter was not Reignbow Arbiter at that time, but a mortal hero. Reignbow Arbiter led the Xianzhou people during the magnificent confrontation with the Denizens of Abundance, which ultimately destroyed the giant tree "Muldrasil" of the Wingweavers at the cost of self-burning, but saving the Xianzhou Alliance. //Reignbow Arbiter// is an epic immersia based on this legend.
 +
 +To this day, there are still a group of fundamentalists who think that Reignbow Arbiter is an immersia that blasphemes Reignbow Arbiter. This is because it allows the experiencer to enter the perspective of Reignbow Arbiter to experience the epic final battle as Reignbow Arbiter, and even experience the process of Reignbow Arbiter's rise to godhood after death, which can be said to be disrespectful.
 +
 +But in reality, only by experiencing this powerful epic from such a perspective can the experiencer truly appreciate how much blood Reignbow Arbiter and the brave people of the Xianzhou shed to achieve the current peace for the Xianzhou to rest and recuperate.
 +
 +But even putting aside the vexatiousness of these fundamentalists, //Reignbow Arbiter// remains a controversial masterpiece. The biggest controversy is that when Yu Chun wrote the script, the historical facts were modified based on personal preference, which is considered unacceptable to many experiencers.
 +
 +For example, Yu Chun downplayed the existence of the heliobi leader, the "Flint Emperor," in the entire immersia. Yu Chun even summed up the arrow of the Reignbow Arbiter that destroyed the Ambrosial Arbor as "an advanced awakening of an Aeon's power in a mortal body," which is an obvious violation of historical facts. At present, historians generally believe that the arrow at that time borrowed the power of the Flint Emperor, but Yu Chun personally dislikes heliobi and revised that part of the story.
 +
 +However, flaws cannot detract from the beauty. Controversial masterpieces are still masterpieces. But in my personal view, I still hope that you can read some more reliable historical materials (such as //Ode to Reignbow Path//) before experiencing //Reignbow Arbiter// to avoid being misled by this immersia's dramatized version of events.

 +//— Doing this will only end badly\\ 
 +— No one has ever had a good ending in this world.// 
 + 
 +As the Three Sufferings Era had passed for thousands of years, the social order of the Xianzhou has become more stable, and the Brotherhood has become history. However, the remaining members are still trying to continue the past glory in an era that does not belong to them. The old "code of conduct" has broken down, and the new members have no bottom line and are unscrupulous. It was the Brotherhood that caused the last underground war before completely dying out. 
 + 
 +//The Bridge to Grandma's Home// is a classic Robe Brethren immersia, also know as "the last Robe Brethren immersia." Unlike most Robe Brethren immersias, the main perspective of //The Bridge to Grandma's Home// is not a member of the Brotherhood, but the daughter of the boss, Little Rain. It is plain as day to anyone with a perceptive eye that Little Rain is the embodiment of Direct Zi Run. 
 + 
 +In //The Bridge to Grandma's Home//, the Brotherhood has shed its polished exterior, and the brethren are just a group of despicable, cruel, and shameless criminals. Zi Run once lived in such an environment, and as a child, fully experienced the extensive bloody conflict within the Brotherhood. 
 + 
 +The production company Spooky Fantasy Entertainment did not agree with Zi Run's filming of this immersia with a strong autobiographical nature. On the one hand, autobiographies possess strong subject matters specific to the protagonist, which is considered to hinder the substitution of the experiencer. On the other hand, at that time, Robe Brethren immersias had not yet gone out of fashion yet. This led them to worry that such a subversive Robe Brethren immersia would not have a particularly good box office response. 
 + 
 +In the end, Zi Run had to pay out of pocket to film the immersia. As results would prove, the production company's judgment was wrong. //The Bridge to Grandma's Home// became the most popular Butterfly Immersia at the box office that year, and was also recognized as the greatest Butterfly Immersia in history. 
 + 
 +Since then, Zi Run left Spooky Fantasy Entertainment and used the earnings to create Elsholtzia Fantasy Entertainment. The former went bankrupt soon after. 
 + 
 +There is another thought-provoking detail about //The Bridge to Grandma's Home//. In real life, a young Zi Run was adopted by an officer when the Cloud Knights completely wiped out the Brotherhood, and lived a happy, enviable lifie from then on. But at the end of //The Bridge to Grandma's Home//, Little Rain died in her father's arms during his last hurrah. 
 + 
 +Perhaps deep down, Zi Run really did die that night when the Brotherhood was wiped out.
