[Episode 35]

Oh, right.

I still don't know your name.

My name?

Yep.

You surely weren't called Black Robe Envoy since birth, right?

I...

My surname is Shen.

People near me always call me "wei."

It means I came from the mountain,

Wei?(It's also used as an interjection word when people answer the phone)

Are you calling somebody?

Well, I really think this "wei" (second tone) is not that imposing.

How about... I add a few more strokes to it?

More strokes?

Look. In this world, water and mountains are connected.

Towering mountains extending endlessly.

Just like the burdens on our shoulder, but we have to keep walking till the end.

How about we call you...

Shen...

Wei (first tone).

How about it?

Shen...

Wei?

I love it,

because it's given by you.

Okay. From today onwards,

my name is Shen Wei.

By the way, how about your past?

Look at you. You are a hero at such a young age.

Your past must be very tough.

Undergrounders have been here in Seastar for generations;

hence, we already have social stratification.

My parents died early,

so my younger brother and I were left relying on each other to survive.

Life was tough, so we decided to make a living away from home.

At the time we left our home,

a meteorite collided into Seastar.

The whole world suddenly changed.

Seastar's resources became scarce.

People's minds and thoughts changed, too.

Others just became accustomed to it,

but I don't have the same stand.

Must I be the same with all of them?

If I don't like it,

then it's better for me not to live in this world.

After that,

I chose to come forward whenever there were fights or troubles.

Day by day, those bad guys became afraid of me.

And they called me Black Robe Envoy because I always wore black clothes.

That is my past.

It's quite similar to what I thought.

Wherever you go, you will shine.

But this is not what I want.

If I had a choice...

You will still do the same thing.

Even if you don't like doing these kinds of things,

you will still fight with the bad because of your conscience.

If you don't like it,

then it's better not to live in this world.

By the way,

you said you have a little brother?

Right.

It took you so long to get the Sacred Items.

What else can you do?

I have tried my best.

You are a piece of shit with no awakened power!

You would have died thousands of times

if I didn't offer you shelter.

Who could tell me how to use these items? Who!

Ye Zun!

You always have those big ideas,

but now you are quiet as a mouse!

Boss, I...

I have an idea.

Say it.

I don't have any power yet,

so I can't do much about it.

But you, my boss, have you ever imagined,

you are the one who is strong enough to activate the power within the Sacred Items.

Why don't you try to use your own power

to activate the Sacred Items?

You can stand up now.

Want to trick me?

Get the hell out of here!

Yes, Boss.

It's no use.

Ye Zun!

I am here, Boss.

Your method didn't work.

Dumbass!

No wonder your parents died so early and your brother abandoned you!

But you don't have to worry, I will help you find your brother wherever he is.

Kill him and cut him into pieces!

And then, it's your turn.

Shut up!

My brother...

Only I can kill him...

You?

You dare fight me?

Go to hell!

Boss! What can we do for you?

Thanks.

For what?

Except for you, no one has ever tried to know more about me.

They love me, respect me, hate me, and reject me.

But they are not willing to sit down and share their real thoughts with me.

If one day,

I leave without saying goodbye,

please don't blame me for it.

You just have to believe

that we will meet again.

Where are you going?

To where I belong to.

Why are you guys still chatting?

We have a big problem.

The boss of the rebels suddenly sent a declaration of war!

And I heard they brought the Sacred Items as well.

Sacred Items?

This time,

I will surely bring the Sacred Items back.

You are not fighting alone.

Da Qing, the mission of getting the Sacred Items back is very dangerous. You go back and wait for us, okay?

No way! I am a cat who is on the top of the food chain!

Cat, my ass!

You are still young. Listen to me.

I'm your master.

Let's go.

When did I...

When did I acknowledge you as my master?

These are the four Sacred Items.

Merit Brush.

Longevity Dial.

Mountain-River Awl.

Guardian Lantern.

Something's not right. The wormhole should have opened.

Wormhole?

What is a wormhole?

Can I help you to open it?

Nothing.

My mission is complete. It's time to go back now.

You are leaving? Where are you going?

We will meet again.

No! You just came! Why are you leaving now?

Dead Cat, can you be more mature?

Don't forget, you are a cat on the top of the food chain.

I won't take you in anymore if you are still acting like this.

But I...

I will miss you.

Da Qing,

I believe one day you will find the person you want to follow and protect.

Remember, because of yearning, humans or cats become mightier.

You will understand it eventually.

Will I meet you again?

Of course. I am your forever master.

No matter now or in the future, it will be like that.

Keep this bell.

Give it to the master you want to follow.

I am not acknowledging any master for I'm used to being free.

It's for you.

You keep it.

Little Brother.

Older Brother.

Older Brother.

You...

You are the boss of the Rebel Forces?

No, Brother.

It's not what you think, Brother.

That enemy chieftain, he controlled me, and I couldn't do anything but follow his orders.

For so many years, I've painstakingly searched for you.

Sorry.

I am sorry, Brother.

Brother?

He's your brother?

I thought you were dead.

No way...

You are the one who is supposed to die.

Da Qing!

Shen Wei!

Shen Wei!

No matter what decision you make, never regret doing it.

Shen Wei...

Kun Lun!

This...

I am back?

Shen Wei.

It took me 10,000 years

to find you.

Is this the real world or the dream world?

How long have I been here?

It's timeline magic.

In a macroscopic view, no matter how long you stay in this node, as long as you return to the start,

not much time will have passed.

Then,

can we go back to this wormhole again?

I'm afraid not. The activation of the wormhole this time was because the energy of the Sacred Items got out of control.

The chances for such a thing happening is one in billions.

Okay, let's go.

The longer you stay here, the longer you're exposed to danger.

Let's wait a while more.

I am worried about Da Qing.

I want to see the ending.

In your heart,

others are still more important than me.

But in my heart, others are just dust compared to you, my brother.

Since you left me alone,

I have started wearing the mask,

because I don't want to see this face that looks the same as yours.

Brother!

Help me!

Lord Black Robe!

I hand over the world to you guys now!

Lord Black Robe!

Then, please help us to keep these four Sacred Items.

Humans love peace.

The energy of the Sacred Items can provide Seastar a better living environment.

Moreover, the mastermind, Ye Zun is now trapped inside an energy seal.

The Sacred Items are needed to support it.

Please stop rejecting it.

I understand. I will take my comrades now back to the Underworld.

From today onwards, the surface and Underworld have no more connections.

I hope the world will have no wars and remain in peace.

Goodbye, Undergrounder.

Why did you do that?

I bowed in behalf of Lord Black Robe.

Thank you for not failing his only wish.

Are you sure you want to leave?

Everything has finished. We Demi-humans should enjoy peace and comfort now.

I'll send you off until here then.

Fu You!

Actually, I've always wanted...

Cheer up!

We have more important missions.

As a leader, sometimes we can't do our own things.

Let's go, Da Qing.

I am not going with you anymore. I will visit you if I have time.

Are you sure you're traveling as a lone per...

Oh, a lone cat.

Of course. This time, I weirdly had an additional bell on my neck.

More importantly, I lost a lot

of my memories. You all refused to tell them to me, too.

So, I have to find out on my own.

Fine. Let's set out!

Yesterday's ocean becomes a mulberry field in the blink of an eye.

Dragon City was built upon the crater caused by the meteorite.

No wonder the connection between the underground and the ground is in our city.

And the troubles they made on the ground started and ended in our city.

I saw you falling into the cracks?

I fell into the cracks,

but I didn't die.

Maybe I was protected by the Sacred Items,

or maybe my luck came from Ye Zun like what he said.

Regent,

the resources of the Underworld is becoming more scarce by the minute.

More and more Undergrounders are escaping to the surface through the portal.

For thousands of years, the Sacred Items successively got scattered.

This strange phenomenon must be related to the Sacred Items.

Calm down

and be quiet.

You guys speak so loud that my back hurts.

I've noticed that Ye Zun has also recently become active.

I've contacted the supervisory department of the humans.

They gave us special permission to send someone up there to investigate the situation.

Dingdun,

you take some people with you up there now.

Yes.

With the help from Black Robe Envoy 10,000 years ago, we were able to live here.

I hope it won't get ruined during my term.

In my opinion, the past Black Robe Envoy

cowered too much that we were left with no choice but to live here.

You,

go and check the Pillar and Ye Zun's situation.

If Ye Zun manages to escape, the whole Underworld will be in trouble.

Yes.

Look! Someone is over there!

10,000 years!

Heaven has blessed the Underworld!

I didn't expect that I'd be able to see the great hero of the whole Underworld!

Underworld Monarch. Regent.

Undergrounders.

- Very good. - Lord Black Robe,

you don't have to praise me.

In the past, you were the real leader of the Undergrounders.

That time, when everyone chose me to be their leader, it was to lead everyone in search for peace.

It's easy to conquer, but hard to preserve one's reign.

Your burden is much heavier than mine.

Every generation has its own leaders. I understand that.

So, you don't need to worry.

You said earlier that you want to go there?

Undergrounders desire freedom and are escaping to the surface

is reasonable.

But we can't tolerate them using their power up there to break rules and disrupt social order.

Moreover, we don't know where the Sacred Items are now.

So, I have to stay there for a long time.

I will contact Seastar Administration now to create a perfect identity as a cover for you.

Oh right, what name do you want to use over there?

Shen Wei.

Shen Wei.

You really have great luck.

It seems like even Heaven wants to keep us alive and fight each other.

You were sealed here for 10,000 years.

Don't you still know to repent?

For what?

You are wrong and I am correct! Time will prove it.

An empty kind heart will never win against definite power that can crush this world.

I am going up to protect this world,

to guard the peace in Seastar.

Nonsense.

Just like me, you will be alone wherever you go!

Don't forget. You are Black Robe Envoy. A different species in the eyes of those humans.

One of my friends said

that we Undergrounders can also love, hate, and feel touched.

We are no different from them.

Take care.

Thief!

These normal people can't stop us.

But this doesn't seem right.

I heard that the Black Robe Envoy has returned

and he has especially come up here to restrain us.

If he dares to come up, tell him to fight me then!

Black Robe Envoy?

This place doesn't suit you.

You better just go back.

So this is what Seastar looks like 10,000 years later.

The first time I saw you was 10,000 years later, but the first time you saw me

was 10,000 years ago.

I didn't expect that the same story would continue after 10,000 years.

We have to leave now.

We have a tougher problem to solve.

Yes. Wang Zheng, Sang Zan,

and so many innocent people.

We will let them pay.

You are back!

We didn't spend much time in the wormhole.

Just two days have passed.

Although two days are short,

we have a tougher situation now.

It's a good thing I was smart and transformed into a cat,

and hid under the watchful eyes of the Seastar Administration.

With you guys leaving me without any words,

how could I dare to casually leave?

- I can only stay—- Cut the crap. Say something important.

The Undergrounders have declared war on the humans.

And the most ridiculous thing is

it's rumored that the war declaration was proposed by you, Black Robe Envoy.

I'm sure most of you

have heard of this Guardian Law.

I proposed this treaty 10,000 years ago.

But now, I realized that it's just a scam!

We were cheated? No way...

Because of this piece of paper,

all of us Undergrounders have to stay in this sunless place.

Living in the deepest part of the sea, in the hottest region of fire.

It doesn't make sense for Black Robe Envoy to say such words.

Is he a fake?

Impossible!

I saw him before. That figure and speaking tone,

he's real.

But I thought he loved peace?

Could it be...

he changed his mind?

Quiet!

I am honored that the Underworld Monarch and Regent

handed me the commanding power at this critical time.

After pondering over those painful experience,

I am here to announce that...

this shameless treaty is invalid now.

Why?

He burned it!

Fellow Undergrounders,

prepare your weapons and your anger.

It's time for us to rule Seastar.

Rule Seastar!

I can't bring my phone, either?

We are in unusual times. Thanks for understanding.

Changcheng, Seastar Administration is different.

You have to watch your mouth and be careful at all time.

Second Uncle, my colleagues—

Quiet!

I also want to care

and pity them, but this is not the right time.

Wait!

What's in your bag?

What is this?

We have to call Professor Lin here.

Professor Lin, please come to the security checkpoint area.

Professor Lin?

I have no allies in the Underworld. The Regent and Underworld Monarch are on Ye Zun's side now.

In the Underworld now, no one can rightfully discern the real Black Robe Envoy anymore.

In my knowledge, with Ye Zun's current power, it's impossible for him to bewitch the whole Underworld.

So, he dresses up like me and causes chaos.

Enough.

Remember, you are a human, not a knife.

But he's now provoking dissensions under my name.

It's my fault.

I should have been ruthless at that time.

It's not you who was lenient,

it was Heaven.

But I also believe

that man will triumph over Heaven。

People like Ye Zun will never understand the point of our sacrifices and persistence.

Thanks.

For what?

Going back to it, my Special Investigations colleagues are so smart. I'm sure they are hiding somewhere now.

Don't worry. I've asked Da Qing to find them.

Where are we going now?

The Undergrounders just announced war, so they need time to prepare.

What we should worry about is ourselves.

The war is coming. I am afraid that the Seastar Administration is in a mess now.

You mean...

No pain, no gain.

We have to find someone.

Brother Lin Jing?

Electronic device. I'm confiscating it.

Let him go in.

Yes.

We are all new here, work hard.
