It isn't hypocrisy if he's aware of it himself, he knew how the world works, and he was only a remnant soul from the true spirit and coincidentally the remnant spirit is the desire and manifestations of his hidden side or what we call 'bad' of wang yuan, this story is literally anti-hero and tackling the hypocrisy of human birth itself, if we weren't restricted by the thing called law and rules, and thy gods, would you think we will be like this, little cute humans who would drown themselves in the society and their depression instead of looking out there and really seeing the world, life amounts to more than that, tho i think that human itself is a sin i think we should take advantage of that sin to benefit or enjoy this life while we still can, albeit im confusing, i hope this doesn't lower your reading comprehension cause my writing ability is definitely not it lol.
