I know the show couldn't actually have allowed that, but I have faith in them and their strength together!
See, I feel like it does the characters a disservice to judge their actions by assuming they had options they were never going to have. The drama's world is set up so that Ye Zun really is too powerful to defeat in other ways, and Ye Zun just wasn't ever going to listen to Shen Wei/believe the truth until everything was truly over.
(I like alternate-ending fix-its! I want more of them! But you have to really work hard to find a way to change the situation so that it's plausible.)
