[The Starry Love]

[Episode 34]

Stand aside

and we shall spare you.

The Ganoderma Vein

is connected to the souls of the people of Dongqiu.

Without the sacred tree,

the people of Dongqiu

will die.

Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant, if you insist on destroying the sacred tree,

then do it over our dead bodies.

We will sacrifice our blood

to the spirit of the sacred tree!

-Chief! -Chief!

Chief!

Kill them!

Back then,

our people guarded the Ganoderma Vein with their flesh.

Unfortunately, we were too weak.

We died at their hands.

But in the end,

I still had a glimmer of hope.

There's someone still here.

Souls?

I will leave

a trace of your bloodline.

What remained of my soul

latched on to a coriander plant.

And that's how I survived.

When I was finally able to take on a human form again

and returned to Dongqiu,

I discovered the remnants

of the Ganoderma Vein.

As a member of the Five Spice clan,

I became an immortal attendant in the Heavenly Realm

(and tried to find the Soul-Gathering Lamp)

in hopes of reviving the souls of my deceased clan.

To my surprise, the remnants of the flower spirit

of the Ganoderma Vein recognised you

in the Heavenly Realm.

You stood up for me

and taught Biqiong a lesson.

(You let me stay in Tianpa Hall.)

(You don't know how happy I was.)

(I realised)

I was finally not alone anymore.

How I wanted to tell you

my name wasn't Husui but Suzhi so badly.

That we were both from Dongqiu.

We were family.

That's why you've been helping me.

I couldn't bear to see you suffer

because of the Iridescent Eyes.

(So I helped you go to Mortal Realm to save Empyrean Xuanshang.)

(When the wrongful marriages were exposed,)

(I knew you would not stay in the Heavenly Realm.)

So I followed you

at all costs.

After that,

I met Princess Qingkui.

She said I seemed familiar to her at first sight.

I was overwhelmed with emotions.

I may still be as weak as I was

10,000 years ago,

but I will not stand idly by

and let you two be hurt.

You sound so sanctimonious.

You knew

they were the flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein,

but you still made them reveal their powers.

What's your intention?

Could it be that you just want to use their powers

to avenge Dongqiu?

It's true that I want to avenge Dongqiu.

But I can't do it alone.

My cultivation is weak.

There was no way I could do it.

They are both from Dongqiu.

But they have found love,

and they hold no affection for Dongqiu.

They wouldn't work with me.

So what does it matter if I want to seek revenge?

I once thought

that it might be better if they could never find out about all of this.

I'll endure the pain

of losing my entire clan myself.

But now,

their lives are in danger.

If I don't awaken their powers

with the root,

am I supposed to watch them die

at the hands

of the voidwalkers?

I can't believe it.

Not only am I a harbinger of calamity,

but I am also the flower of destruction.

How capable I am.

Tan…

You have me with you now.

We'll share the burden together.

You must leave this place at once.

Zhu Duanshan recognised

my Dongqiu magic.

The four realms will come together once again.

They will not allow the flower spirits to live.

We can prove to them

that we mean no harm.

But how?

It has been so long since then.

My father might not hold the same thought anymore.

Besides, the Heavenly Realm has always placed great importance on courtesy and righteousness.

As long as we can prove ourselves to him,

my father will believe us.

All your brother did

was being reborn with his desires,

and the Heavenly Emperor is already so wary of him.

The flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein

concern the fate of the four realms.

The Heavenly Emperor would rather kill an innocent than take chances.

He wouldn't give us a chance to explain ourselves.

How about this?

All of you will stay here

for now.

At least I have my Beast Soldiers

to protect all of you.

Where we are

no longer makes a difference.

Let's not cause any more trouble for the Prince's Mansion.

Let's go home.

Things have come this far.

No matter what you intend to do,

I will be with you in life and death.

Man has left us,

but I will always be

by Your Highnesses's side.

What happened?

Your Majesty,

the flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein

have reappeared.

What?

I ran into Yetan and Qingkui

in the Beast Realm.

I discovered that Yetan could take in turbid air.

Everyone in the four realms knows

that only the flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein

are capable of doing so.

Those two princesses are no mere mortals.

Your Majesty,

you were merciful

and spared Qingkui.

But your decision has no doubt left

a grave risk for the four realms.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

legend has it

that when the Twin Flower of the Ganoderma Vein

is separated, it absorbs pure air and turbid air.

Together, they open the Guixu and activate the Force of Chaos!

This is a serious matter.

Alert all of the Void

to seize those two women

and kill them all.

Yes.

Your Majesty,

what about Third Prince?

Would I still care about that?

Kill them!

Yes.

But

this matter concerns more than the Void.

Should we notify the other three realms?

Fine.

In the past, the Heavenly Emperor has always been in charge.

This time,

the Void will be the one to make the arrangements

regarding the four realms.

Invite the rulers of the other three realms

to the Void.

Yes.

The Void Tyrant sent us a letter

informing us of the resurgence of the flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein.

How did you learn of this information?

My subordinate, General Zhulong,

was nearly drained of all his turbid air

by the power of the flower spirit of the Ganoderma Vein.

It is just as recorded

in the ancient texts!

Ten millenniums years ago,

the four late rulers came together to eliminate Dongqiu

and destroy the flower spirits.

Now, after all these years,

we've come together for the same purpose again.

This matter cannot be taken lightly.

Are you aware of the whereabouts of the flower spirits, Void Tyrant?

Well,

all of us

have seen them.

Have we?

What do you mean?

The Twin Flower from the Ganoderma Vein

of Dongqiu

is Emperor Tun's two daughters.

What?

Emperor Tun,

are you still pretending?

Let me ask you something.

Why did you marry off the Twin Flower of Destruction

to the two clans?

What is your intention?

That's impossible!

Void Tyrant,

my empress gave birth

to Tan and Kui.

Everyone in my palace can attest to that!

Void Tyrant,

why are you

accusing my two children

of such horrible crimes?

This is Liguang Yetan's doing.

How do you explain this?

Tan?

Then…

How could this be

her doing?

The immortals have blessed the human race for thousands of years.

Emperor Tun,

you are returning our kindness with ingratitude.

Heavenly Emperor,

there must be a mistake!

There must be a misunderstanding.

The Void Tyrant may be ruthless,

but he would not frame two mortal women

with the matter of Dongqiu.

This-This can't be!

The human race wouldn't dare.

Even if they did,

they are not capable of such a thing.

Beast King is right.

The human race would not dare

to harbour the flower spirits of destruction,

much less oppose

the immortals and the voidwalkers.

Enough.

The matter has come to this.

Our priority is to eliminate

the flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein.

Heavenly Emperor.

Void Tyrant.

Your Majesty…

What will you…

What will you do to Tan and Kui?

The Twin Flower holds power to bring about the end of the world.

Naturally, they must be eliminated.

No!

Absolutely not!

Rest-Rest assured, Heavenly Emperor, Void Tyrant.

Emperor Tun will not spare

the two princesses.

No… I meant…

The demonesses of destruction.

We are faced with formidable enemies.

Would you be willing to follow in our ancestors' footsteps,

put aside our differences for now,

so as to take on our enemies together?

Since you've shown such sincerity,

the Void would be willing

to lead the four realms

and work together

to destroy the flower spirits of destruction, of course.

Your Majesty…

All right.

I will not spare anyone

who defends the flower spirits.

Not even my biological son

will be an exception.

But

Heavenly Emperor, as for your precious son…

If my son tries to defend them,

I will deal with him myself.

I will not show him mercy.

Emperor Tun,

the marriage between the immortals and the human race

is no more as of this moment.

There will be no connection

between Liguang Yetan and the Heavenly Realm

henceforth.

This…

Indeed, you never forget

to defend

the reputation and honour

of the immortals.

The immortals will not have a demoness

as their Empyrean Consort.

Beast King,

I heard Qingkui and Yetan

are currently in the Beast Realm.

I knew nothing about that.

Nothing at all.

If both of you intend to go to war,

the beastfolk will give our full support.

Good.

From this moment on,

the four realms will join forces

to take down those demonesses.

Wait!

What's the matter?

Do you have any objections, Emperor Tun?

No, not at all!

Do not act recklessly.

If we go against them,

the entire human race

will be decimated into dust.

There's no time to lose.

Let's prepare ourselves.

(What will happen)

(to Kui and Tan now?)

Why is it you?

I've guarded the Guixu for a thousand years.

I would give up my life

for the peace of the four realms!

But you're the flower spirit of the Ganoderma Vein.

You can open the Guixu.

The irony of it all.

Don't blame me.

I will not allow Guixu

to be opened again.

What's wrong?

Did you have a nightmare?

I dreamt that someone was trying to kill me.

Silly.

I remember

Liguang Yetan said

that she would only pay respect to Shaodian Youqin.

Right?

Since you did that,

I will hold it up

for you.

Even if we face an army of millions,

I will not let any of them

lay a finger on you.

You have nothing to worry about.

You're the hero of the world.

I'm the enemy of the world.

In the future…

Our future

will be the same as now.

We've been through so much together.

I know the kind of person you are.

Even if you had the power to open Guixu,

you would never do it.

It's all right.

Even if no one else in the world

believes you,

I will.

I will never leave you.

Tan, you know

even if there is an ominous astronomical sign, the world remains the same.

You and the four realms

will be fine as well.

Sleep.

I'll watch over you.

When I had nightmares as a child,

Man would hold my hand

like this too.

I'll be here from now on.

Don't try to get me to leave.

I won't.

I just feel sorry for you.

You've endured so much for your mother's sake in the past.

Now, because of me,

you're on the run and cannot return home.

Don't say things like that.

I'm your husband.

You should rely on me.

Sometimes,

I wish you would be more selfish like Yetan.

At least I wouldn't worry as much.

I thought

the four of us could live happily ever after

just like this.

But who knew?

We'll take appropriate measures

as the situation calls for.

Don't worry.

Fifth and I will not back down.

I know.

Has His Highness not returned yet?

Man's coffin

should've just arrived at Mount Cangdan by now.

Di Lanjue said

he would return after sending Man back

to her homeland.

His Highness and Princess Yetan

loved Man dearly.

They remind me

of my late clan.

Suzhi,

you must hate

the immortals.

Even if I do,

I know

that there is both evil and good in the four realms.

There are people that deserve to live.

Princess Ziwu,

you should return to the Heavenly Realm.

I will not abandon

my brother and sister-in-law.

Maybe…

Maybe nothing will happen

tomorrow.

Maybe…

Maybe Zhu Duanshan

didn't even recognize

you and my sister-in-law's powers.

That could be true, right?

I hope so.

Suzhi…

I'm sorry.

Di Lanjue must be back.

Beast King.

Princess Ziwu.

How did you know I was…

Actually,

I knew who you were from the start.

Don't bother, Princess Ziwu.

I've apprehended

Di Lanjue.

So you already know it, Beast King?

All of the four realms have been made aware.

Your Beast Soldiers

are no match for Xuanshang and me.

I would not overestimate my capabilities.

I came to tell you

that the Beast Realm cannot hide

you all

any longer.

I promised Di Lanjue

I would not expose your whereabouts

to the Heavenly Emperor

and the Void Tyrant.

So

I never saw any of you today.

And please do not say a word

about meeting me

to anyone else.

Please

find your own way out.

However,

Ziwu is my future daughter-in-law.

She will come with me.

No.

I will stay.

I will stay

to protect my brother and sister-in-law.

Ziwu,

I appreciate the thought.

You and Di Lanjue

should live a happy and peaceful life.

Do not follow us through the storm.

Ziwu,

go back.

You won't be able to protect me

even if you stay.

Your sister-in-law and I

will need to walk this path ourselves.

Youqin…

There, there.

Father loves you the most.

You might even

be able to plea for mercy on our behalf when you go back.

Really?

Yes.

When have I ever lied to you?

I will get Father

to change his mind.

Ziwu,

take good care of Mother for me.

Tell her

that if she sees the Evening Star shining,

that is me

paying my respects to her.

Take care.

Take care.

Our best course of action now

is to head to the White Bamboo Valley.

No.

It's different this time.

The four realms will turn the White Bamboo Valley

upside down to find us.

Where else can we go?

Let's get out of here first.

I'll pack our things.

The four realms are vast,

but there's not even a place for us.

It's all right.

It's fine.

Let me go!

Let me out of here!

Impudent son!

I locked you up

for your own good.

Ziwu.

Di Lanjue.

Beast King, Beast Queen,

please let Di Lanjue go.

Please? I'm begging you.

Princess Ziwu,

do not blame us for being hard-hearted.

The situation in the four realms

is treacherous and unpredictable.

My son is impulsive and reckless.

I do not want him

to get involved in this mess.

That's right.

We just lost Man.

I shudder to think about what else could happen.

If something happens to my son, too,

I don't think I can bear it.

Father…

Hua…

You guys should know

that despite Tan's mischievousness,

she has no desire to destroy the world!

Her sister

is kind.

She is even less likely to do that…

It doesn't matter whether we understand that.

What matters is

what the Heavenly Emperor and Void Tyrant think!

The beastfolk and the human race

have no say in this regard!

Father,

I…

Di Lanjue.

Stop trying.

His Majesty and Her Majesty

have done the best they can

by letting them go.

Leave the rest to me.

I'll return to the Heavenly Realm at once

to get my father to withdraw his orders.

No matter what happens,

I will try my best.

I advise you

not to waste your efforts, Princess Ziwu.

He is the Heavenly Emperor of the immortals.

He cannot overturn his decision overnight.

It would be better

for you to stay in the Beast Realm

to be safe.

Ziwu,

go on.

No matter what, we have to try.

I'll be fine.

Don't worry about me.

Father,

I know my sister-in-law…

Qingheng,

I'll tell you this today.

I have dissolved the marriage

with the human race.

Liguang Yetan no longer has anything to do

with the Heavenly Realm.

Do not call her your sister-in-law any longer.

Liguang Yetan is not someone who will destroy the world!

Why must we kill her?

Your Majesty,

in view of her previous actions,

it would not be a surprise

even if she does become one

that would end the world.

Even if she does not harbour such ill intent,

there are others

in the four realms that seek to do evil.

It would be bad for us

if she is manipulated by someone of ill nature.

Yetan is clever, and Qingkui is intelligent.

They would not let themselves be used!

Besides,

10,000 years ago,

the four realms slaughtered the entire Dongqiu clan

and destroyed their sacred tree

in the name of eradicating harm.

That was already a most unrighteous act!

Are we going

to kill them again?

Who taught you all this nonsense?

I…

What I meant was…

A noble man that acts dishonourably

is no different than a villain who wreaks havoc.

You've only been acting as an Empyrean for such a short amount of time.

Yet you dare to question the late heavenly emperor's conduct

in the Ninth Heaven Hall.

If it had not been for the late heavenly emperor's decision,

the Heavenly Realm

would not be the head of the four realms today.

I…

Enough.

You will repent before the late heavenly emperor's spirit tablet

for three days.

You are dismissed.

General Guangtian.

Erlang Deity.

General Golden Armor.

-Yes. -Yes.

Report from the Beast Realm.

The demonesses have left the Beast Realm.

Their whereabouts are currently unknown.

The three of you

will lead troops of 3,000 soldiers each

to find them in the Mortal Realm.

-Yes. -Yes.

Wait.

Allow me to ask a question

before we send out the troops.

Who among us in this hall

can confirm

that Qingkui and Yetan

are the flower spirits of the Ganoderma Vein?

How can we prove that?

No idea.

In that case,

we might kill the wrong people, wouldn't we?

We only have the Void Tyrant's word

that claimed Qingkui and Yetan

are the flower spirits of that tree of destruction.

Has anyone in Heavenly Realm ever seen it in person?

I've never seen it.

No one has seen it with their own eyes, right?

Immortals and voidwalkers have been feuding

for thousands of years.

This could be a conspiracy

by the Void.

Reverend Masters.

You are incomplete without your fourth, indeed.

It is clear that you miss Yetan

very much.

It is one thing for Qingheng not to know any better.

But for the three of you to act with bias as well?

I respect your integrity and reputation.

I've always treated you

with courtesy

and sincerity.

But this matter concerns the fate of the four realms.

Once Guixu is opened,

the four realms will fall into chaos.

If that does happen,

who among you will take responsibility?

The safety of the four realms is not a trivial matter!

We cannot be sure if they are flower spirits

yet.

But we know for sure

that the four realms cannot afford

the consequences of making the mistake of letting them go!

I will set out at once.

Rest assured, Your Majesty.

I will eliminate the flower spirits

and protect the peace of the four realms.

Good.

All three generals

will be carrying

the glory of the immortals

on your shoulders.

I will eliminate the flower spirits

before the Void does

and show them the power of the immortals!

Understood.

Erlang Deity!

Erlang Deity,

where are you going?

His Majesty has given orders.

We are heading to the Mortal Realm

to apprehend the two princesses of Liguang.

Wait.

I'll persuade my father to withdraw his orders.

Do not bother, Your Highness.

His Majesty's mind is made up.

Earlier,

Immortal Qingheng and the three Reverend Masters tried to plead for mercy.

His Majesty was enraged.

Tell His Majesty

to withdraw his orders.

If His Majesty

refuses,

I will kneel outside the Ninth Heaven Hall

until he does.

Go!

Yes.

Your Majesty,

Princess Ziwu is kneeling outside the hall.

She says…

She says she will not get up

until

Your Majesty

would withdraw your orders.

I've spoiled her

rotten.

Let her kneel.

Yes.

The immortals in the Heavenly Realm

have claimed to be the head of the four realms

by the virtue of their repairing the Guixu.

This time,

we cannot let them claim credit

for eradicating the flower spirits.

In the future,

I want the humans' temples

to be dedicated to the Devil of the Void!

Yes.

Father…

Your Majesty.

Princess Qingkui once healed

countless Void soldiers.

If we kill her,

we would be disregarding right and wrong.

That would make us no different

from those hypocrites

in the Heavenly Realm!

Wuyun!

There is no place for you to speak

when I speak.

All of you, find the flower spirits!

Yes.

Your Majesty,

I know you can't bear it,

but Yetan

is not just

the bane of the human race.

She and Qingkui

are the keys to the Guixu!

Your Majesty has raised them

for 18 years.

But-But they were never part of the human race,

to begin with.

They are Dongqiu descendants.

And

they're not even human!

Someone!

-Yes. -Yes.

Is Your Majesty tired?

Does Your Majesty require rest?

Throw Liguang Chiyao into the dungeons.

Your Majesty!

This…

What is the meaning of this?

I took pity on you

and reinstated you.

But you refuse to change your ways.

Listen up.

It doesn't matter whether they're harbingers of calamity

or demonesses that will end the world,

I will protect them no matter what.

If I let myself

be swayed and waver again,

they would be disappointed in me

for the rest of their lives.

I am your uncle!

I have served the court for three dynasties!

Hold on.

It is precisely because you are my uncle

that I'm putting you in prison.

Otherwise,

I would've killed you.

Take him away!

Yes.

Your Majesty!

You must not show mercy!

Your Majesty!

You must not show mercy, Your Majesty!

Consort Xue!

Shui.

How is it?

I couldn't find them.

It seems

they have fled the Beast Realm.

There is no place for them in the four realms.

Where could they go?

No.

I must find them.

Wait, Consort Xue.

The four realms are vast.

Where will you go to find them?

Moreover,

if you are caught by the voidwalkers,

it would be even easier for the Void Tyrant

to use you against His Highness.

That's right.

Please calm down, Consort Xue.

Haichao,

go and get more information.

I'll continue searching.

Shui, look after Consort Xue.

All right.

I'm off.

Be careful.

It'll be fine.

Silly girl.

Why must you do this?

Mother,

Father is so cruel…

Come. Get up first.

Mother,

Father does not understand.

If he insists on doing so,

then he is forcing Youqin to stand against us.

Youqin loves my sister-in-law with all his heart.

He has made up his mind.

Before I returned,

he told me to relay this to you.

If you see the Evening Star shining,

that is him paying his respects to you.

Youqin is prepared

for us never to see each other again.

Get Qingheng.

We'll form a plan.

Mother.

You're finally back.

I heard all about it.

You were made to reflect on your actions

for disobeying the Heavenly Emperor.

Mother,

you must think I was wrong too.

I gathered both of you here

because I've decided

to take your side.

Regardless of what the four realms think of Yetan

and what abnormal abilities she possesses,

to me, she is only

Youqin's wife.

And a child of mine, just like both of you.

Mother is right.

Sister-in-law is our family.

If both Mother and Ziwu say so,

then I have nothing to fear.

In the past,

Youqin always took care of Ziwu and me.

Now,

the path ahead of them is dark and grim.

Let us be

his stars and light his way this time.

His Majesty is determined to act as he wishes.

But so long as our hearts are united,

we will surely find a way

to help them.

Wangliang City is beyond the rule of the four realms.

We'll head to Wangliang City first

and then make plans.

All along our way

were wanted notices for us.

The four realms have made their moves.

You were the hero of the four realms.

You must be deeply disappointed now.

Even the beastfolk are after us.

Hearts are unpredictable indeed.

That is how the world works.

If you feel disappointed,

that's because

you expected too much from them.

You must be prepared.

The immortals will not show mercy.

And neither

should you.

I'll get us more firewood.

Don't go too far.

Be careful.

Suzhi,

is there really no way to remove

the power of the flower spirits in Tan and me?

The flower spirits are your souls.

How could they be removed?

Unless

the two of you are separated by life and death.

When the base of the Twin Flower is damaged,

the powers of the flower spirits will be lost.

Separated by life and death?

Tan and I

have been able to sense each other's pain since we were children.

Shouldn't we live and die together?

Your flesh vessels are mortal.

There is no living and dying together to speak of.

You are able to sense each other's pain

due to sharing the same flower base.

I know you two don't want to continue to run,

but

there is no other way.

Qingkui,

what's on your mind?

Nothing.

It's all my fault.

I acted in the heat of the moment,

and that put you two in this situation.

Don't say that.

We're a family now.
