At the end of the film, Wuming, Canjian, and King Qin have reached the same level of philosophy.

On the camera side, Wuming and King Qin are confronting. King Qin's original realm is only at the level of self. He has the desire to expand the territory and the feeling of dying for his confidant. After that, the King of Qin threw out his sword and gave it to Wuming, turned around and focused on the word "sword" in the remnant sword, ready to die for his confidant. But when Wuming heard that King Qin had realized the realm of "stop Ge" from Canjian's calligraphy, Wuming also realized it. Wuming understood Canjian, Qin Wang, and the realm represented by the word world. .

In the past, the remnant sword entered the palace and stabbed the whole body and retreated. Although he wanted to persuade King Qin with a light sword, that sword only had the effect of deterrence. The deterrence made King Qin sleepless, and the assassins were rewarded with huge sums of money. boundary. At this time, Wuming understood the reason for Can Jian's failure, and decided to stab this sword, because only stab can kill, and only death can add weight to this sword and achieve the state of "letting".

After that, he chose the same method as Wuming, and added the weight of death to the sword he let out to resolve the hatred in Feixue's heart and let Feixue understand that in Canjian's heart, she was as important as the world.

Throughout the whole story, although Wuming took the initiative to find Canjian and asked to stab Qin, he actually became a practitioner of Canjian's philosophical realm. King Qin was also assimilated by this philosophical realm, and his heart was no longer only the desire for territory and power. After understanding the balance between war and peace, after uniting the six kingdoms, the Great Wall was built, and the world stopped fighting.

But this philosophical realm has been remembered by later generations and named as "hero"
