THIS! The ultimate irony of fate. The interactions between Zhaoyou and Tantai Jin prove how much the timeline has already diverged thanks to Susu’s actions. The Xiaoyao Sect Leader meets a completely different man this time around, with completely different eyes, heart and soul, a transformed man who understands kindness, regret, humility and love because he’s gone through the most excruciating pain and torment a mortal can experience in his lifetime, yet instead of lashing out at the world and taking revenge, he has overcome his worst impulses and chosen to be good and deal with his pain on his own.
The DG Tantai Jin considered having a master as something demeaning, yet the word gains a new meaning to him, a teacher, someone to help him, educate him and show him the way, a figure he had sorely lacked in his life, until Susu appeared, who really explained and translated the world and emotions to him.
Therefore it’s really apt that he finds his new master in her surrogate uncle, who had also been a teacher to her (the time-travel paradox!) and in the very place where he had met her in the original timeline as his alter ego. It’s so powerful how, for him, everything begins and ends with her. He and his universe revolve around her even 500 years after he lost her.
The way both Tantai Jin’s teachers keep falling asleep during his lessons! He should ask for a refund or at least a discount.
Also, the fact that he thought about joining the very same sect in the past and wanted to learn cultivation there because he knew that devouring demons had many disadvantages and limits and wouldn’t sustain him in the long run.
Moreover, it’s the place Ming Ye left behind as his legacy, showing that even the most terrible places and things can turn into something good. The place is really a metaphor for Tantai Jn - that even the darkest things might be basked in light one day, just like he has become a good man. That it doesn’t matter how you start but how you end and what decisions you make to get there.
It’s meaningful how Tantai Jin’s first reaction at seeing the sect contrasts the Devil God’s - instead of destruction, he can finally see the beauty and light of it and appreciate it because Susu made him understand light.
Even the first meeting between Zhaoyou and Tantai Jin in the new timeline portrays a complete reversal of their original dynamic. With Tantai Jin kneeling now and seeking death and the sect leader being the one doing the teasing and playing with him.
Tantai Jin becomes the direct opposite of the Devil God up to his wardrobe, he wears a white silvery coronet headpiece instead of black, the colour pallete of his clothing is inversed and he lacks the dark armour with claw-like hand guards that made the Devil God appear so utterly inhuman.
If you can’t beat them, join them!
I adore how the one thing that both alter egos of Tantai Jin have in common is that they both end up seeking something from the Sect, its secrets - the Devil God looks for the only thing that can destroy him, the Mirror of the Past, while Tantai Jin searches for a hope how to resurrect his “dead” lover, but instead of blackmailing the Leader he begs him to teach him.
The way the sect leader helps Tantai Jin to stand up, preserving his dignity, after having to kneel and prostate himself for the better part of his life to survive and having to squash his own dignity in the process. The people in his life ordered and forced him to kneel, just like the original Ye Xiwu, but he kneels for Susu willingly now.
Finally, the fact that the Devil God had never been content or happy but for Tantai Jin, his life at the Sect, together with the time he spent with Susu, is the time he actually feels contentment and happiness.

Stars and Dust across Corona Australis
Image Credit & Copyright: Alessandro Cipolat Bares
Explanation: Cosmic dust clouds cross a rich field of stars in this telescopic vista near the northern boundary of Corona Australis, the Southern Crown. Part of a sprawling molecular cloud complex this star forming region is a mere 500 light-years away. That's about one third the distance of the more famous stellar nursery known as the Orion Nebula. The 2 degree wide frame would span 15 light-years at the clouds' estimated distance. Mixed with bright nebulosities the dust clouds effectively block light from more distant background stars in the Milky Way and obscure from view embedded stars still in the process of formation. Large dark nebula Bernes 157 is on the left. To its right are a group of pretty reflection nebulae cataloged as NGC 6726, 6727, 6729, and IC 4812. Their characteristic blue color is produced as light from hot stars is reflected by the cosmic dust. The more compact NGC 6729 surrounds young variable star R Coronae Australis. Just below it, filamentary arcs and loops are identified as Herbig Haro objects associated with energetic newborn stars. In fact, at the heart of this area lies the Coronet Cluster, one of the nearest and most active star forming regions.
