Other notes:
  • I'm relatively sure that there was a timeskip between the doom sounds/identity reveal case and the visit to Dixing, beyond the canon minimum of 2-3 days, since Zhu Jiu needs time to heal up a bit and the doom sounds seems to flow straight from the Hanga stuff, which flows straight from the 1-month marker. So the identity reveal would be under 2 months in?

  • The time travel segment in the past was probably about a month, since that's the amount of time it takes to make baijiu, but they were excised from the present for 2 days.

  • The endgame showdown with Ye Zun is probably on the same day as the Yashou branch thing, and the entire stretch from the Merit Brush endgame to the end is one segment without significant timeskips.
