[Episode 38]

When Youqin fought

against Yetan,

did he remember anything?

The Stake of Oblivion is an ancient divine object.

Yetan may have disrupted

Empyrean Xuanshang's mental state.

But he did not recall the past.

Only...

What?

His Highness could have cut Yetan's throat

with his sword in the Void.

But he showed mercy

at the last moment.

It seems

he's still entangled by worldly ties.

Liguang Yetan

has many supporters around her.

She inevitably has the intention of attacking the Heavenly Realm.

We must not

let Youqin remember her at this time.

Go

and follow him closely.

If anyone wants

to reveal the truth to Youqin,

capture and kill them immediately.

I shall obey your command.

His Highness has returned!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Did the battle

go smoothly?

I almost had her, but I failed.

-That's a relief. -I'm glad to hear that.

I returned with a defeat.

Why are you happy about it?

Could it be

that you know Liguang Yetan too?

I hope you don't blame me for being nosy.

Since it has come to this point,

I have to tell you the truth.

Did you know...

Your Highness.

Under the command of the Heavenly Emperor,

I have come to discuss things about the Heavenly Army

with Your Highness.

I ask that Feichi and Hanmo

wait outside the hall.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

If you may, Your Highness.

This matter has come to this point.

What else do we

have to be concerned about?

[Penglai Hall] Let's tell His Highness the truth quickly.

Can't you see Guangtian

is following His Highness closely?

He's definitely here under His Majesty's command

to prevent us from talking.

We don't know

how many other spies like him

are secretly watching us constantly

in the Heavenly Realm.

What are you doing?

What should we do, then?

We may have failed to capture Liguang Yetan

in our expedition to the Void.

But fortunately, the Heavenly Army didn't suffer many casualties.

(What did you just say?)

(Who did you say you're going to kill?)

I volunteered to eliminate

the demoness Liguang Yetan of Dongqiu.

(You cannot!)

Qingheng? Ziwu?

Why... Why are you...

Youqin,

did you also notice

my new hair accessory?

Do you also think it's very special?

I returned with a defeat.

Why are you happy about it?

Could it be

that you know Liguang Yetan too?

(Mother, Qingheng, Ziwu,)

(and Feichi.)

(They seem)

(to be acquainted with Liguang Yetan.)

(Who is she exactly?)

Liguang Yetan is a member of the crazed Dongqiu Tribe.

She's the human form of the Ganoderma Vein's flower spirit.

She has no connection with the immortals.

(Why did Father try to hide it)

(and not let me know)

(her true identity?)

Youqin, I'm your wife,

your Money, and your Yuexia.

My

wife.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, what did you say?

Nothing.

Your Highness,

it's time to lay out the constellations.

Please head

to the Star Observatory.

General, please wait for a moment.

I'll be back in a moment.

General.

You know why I'm here.

His Majesty commands

that no one is allowed to delude His Highness.

Violators shall be executed!

Sir,

Princess Yetan and Emperor Tun are here.

Father-in-law.

Is this Kui?

Kui...

Yetan,

I heard

what happened to Shaodian Youqin.

If you have any concerns,

I can lead the army to attack the Heavenly Realm.

It's all right.

I'd rather take a preemptive measure and strike first

than let the Heavenly Emperor use Youqin.

Besides, you haven't recovered yet.

My father needs someone to take care of him too.

I've always been

a worrisome daughter to him.

Going to this battle,

I don't know

if I will have the chance to perform my filial duties.

I forbid you from saying that.

I want you to go

and return in one piece.

Please rest assured.

He's not only your father

but also my father-in-law.

I'll take good care of him.

I owe my life to my sister.

I must not lose in this battle.

Tan!

Make sure you stay safe.

-Father-in-law. -Emperor Tun.

Please sit and take a rest for a moment.

Emperor Tun, are you all right?

Emperor Tun,

Chaofeng will take care

of Kui's flower spirit.

You should get some rest

in Void Tyrant's chamber.

For Tan's sake,

you must take care of your health.

Kui,

please watch over your little sister

so she can return safely.

When did the Rooftop Swallow Mansion disappear

from the tail of the Black Tortoise?

(On this night,)

(I grant you)

(the Rooftop Swallow Mansion.)

(May your life be like the stars,)

(shining bright in the sky and having no fear on earth.)

(May you earn respect and admiration)

(and be able to withstand ordinariness.)

This woman is...

I thought

we had overcome the hurdle of the wrong marriage

and that we could have long-lasting love.

But the world is full of uncertainties.

It has pushed us to the opposite sides

of good and evil.

Even if you've forgotten me,

I can't forget

our love.

It's too late...

♪Light swept through the twin flowers♪

for us now.

♪Stopping at the desolate cliff♪

Tomorrow,

I'll lead the army to attack the Heavenly Realm.

I have no time...

♪Whose face has the wind comfort again?♪

to explain everything that happened between us to you.

Perhaps...

♪The flying♪

♪Seabed sand♪

in this life, we are destined

to have one person shining bright in the sky...

♪If only I can spend♪

and the other tainted with earthly dust.

♪The sorrowful night with you♪

The notion of growing old together...

♪We'll go through the ups and downs together♪

is nothing but a dream.

♪Hair messed up♪

♪By the wrong times♪

♪I'm not afraid no matter how tough it is♪

♪You're the crescent in my heart♪

Even if we cannot be together in this life,

I only ask that the stars protect us...

♪My radiance♪

and keep us from being enemies.

♪Condensing into days♪

I think

you are the same as the Rooftop Swallow Mansion.

You seem rebellious,

but you were born with outstanding talents.

On this night,

I grant you

the Rooftop Swallow Mansion.

May your life be like the stars,

shining bright in the sky

and having no fear on earth.

May you earn respect and admiration

and be able to withstand ordinariness.

What should come will come eventually.

Your Majesty,

Liguang Yetan has invaded the Heavenly Realm!

The demoness of doom.

Summon the Heavenly Soldiers immediately.

Protect the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Realm is heavily guarded.

But you managed to reach the Ninth Heaven Hall

so quickly.

I really underestimated you.

Shaodian Xiaoyi,

we'll settle old and new scores

all together today.

Youqin,

you're here just in time.

Help me capture and kill this woman.

Father,

even if the Force of Chaos starts

and the four realms fall into ruin again,

I will never point my sword at her.

♪Flame lights up the dark night♪

You remembered?

♪Silence shrouds the world♪

That can't be.

I clearly had Guangtian

keep you in sight.

How could you possibly regain your memories?

♪Awakening me from this nightmare♪

Forgetting the past may be easy.

♪I see the scarlet shade♪

But forgetting this love...

♪You hold the world by its fate♪

is difficult.

♪I have to decide now♪

Do you really think

Guangtian alone

can keep me under control?

♪This farewell leaves me in pain♪

♪I don't feel anxious to take a dive into the abyss for you♪

♪All for the sake of our reunion♪

I have failed you, Your Majesty.

♪Nature resonates with the mountains and the rivers♪

♪The world is untamed and unbridled♪

♪Come what may♪

♪I am willing to risk my life for you♪

♪Let's go stargazing tomorrow♪

♪I'll never regret my lifelong vow to you♪

-Your Highness! -Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Tan...

It was my fault.

I failed to protect you.

This is bad.

Where do you think you're going,

General Cremation?

He's General Tortoise. Am I right?

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

♪Nature resonates with the mountains and the rivers♪

I knew

you wouldn't forget me.

♪The world is untamed and unbridled♪

♪Come what may♪

♪I am willing to risk my life for you♪

I humbly welcome Empyrean Consort back to the Heavenly Realm.

♪In the next life, I will sacrifice my soul♪

You liaised with the defender generals,

took away my military power,

and allowed Yetan

to march straight in.

Am I right?

Father,

I secretly assisted Youqin

in contacting the Heavenly Army last night.

If it weren't for the Rainbow Whisperer

I made for you,

could you convey the message

to Tan

and devise such a military strategy without bloodshed?

So I should get some credit

for this victory too.

How dare you commit

such a heinous act of disrespecting your father and betraying your ruler?

Such filial sons indeed.

Father,

you planted the Stake of Oblivion in me

and made me draw my sword

at my lover in battle!

Is this what a father should do?

You've defied me time and time again,

and all you care about

is that demoness of doom.

And what do you take

the immortals and me for?

I don't want to be your enemy!

I did not sacrifice my desires, mend the seal in Guixu,

and risk my life

to save the four realms

for the sake of fame and righteousness.

I did it to protect my family!

For you!

And Mother.

Father,

I don't want to see you continue

making mistakes anymore.

I don't want to see my lover

and my family hurt each other even more.

The immortals' long-standing fear of Dongqiu

is just groundless.

I humbly request

that you hand over the Soul-Gathering Lamp

and issue a decree to clear Dongqiu's name!

Youqin is right.

How could I, as a son, not have you in my heart?

We only hope

that you can admit your mistakes and make amends.

This is the first lesson

you taught me

when I was young.

You are forcing me into a corner

by drawing your swords at me!

Even if I yield,

would Yetan and that descendant of Dongqiu

be willing

to forgive

so easily?

I did not come to the Heavenly Realm

to kill and vent my anger.

Besides, your death

cannot make up for the life of my sister.

If you hand over the Soul-Gathering Lamp

and clear Dongqiu's name,

I will spare your life.

Did you really come

to the Ninth Heaven Hall with an army

just for a lamp?

Fine.

I will give it to you.

Father, Mother.

I've finally retrieved

your souls and the souls of our people.

Why is this happening?

There is no flower spirit in the lamp.

What did you do to the flower spirits of Dongqiu?

You're too naive.

Did you really think the immortals

would keep the flower spirits of Dongqiu for thousands of years?

(The late Heavenly Emperor was wise.)

(He had already seen through)

(Jade Deity's hesitation)

(and saw him secretly keeping this lamp,)

(the Soul-Gathering Lamp.)

Is this the Soul-Gathering Lamp

of Dongqiu?

The sinner tribe of Dongqiu thought

hiding their flower spirits in this lamp

would give them a chance to be reborn.

How ridiculous.

Xiaoyi,

I brought you here

so you would understand

the principle of exterminating all evil.

As a ruler,

you must never be soft-hearted

as it would bring potential disasters.

I personally witnessed the former Heavenly Emperor

use the Supreme Divine Fire

to burn all the flower spirits in the lamp.

It was the first time I learned

the way of a ruler.

The flower spirits of young and old in the lamp

were scorched to death by the Divine Fire

in an extremely tragic manner.

Back then,

how could I not find

the former Heavenly Emperor cruel?

But I understand

if they don't die,

one day,

it would be the immortals

and the people of the four realms who would die.

I endured hardships and difficulties

for ten thousand years,

thinking I could reunite

with my parents one day.

But I didn't expect

that their flower spirits had already dissipated.

You called that the way of a ruler?

My tribe only wanted

a peaceful place to settle down at.

What was wrong with that?

The immortals enjoy prosperity throughout the four realms.

Why can't you

let go of a small tribe?

Suzhi!

Suzhi.

Yetan!

Ziwu!

The Dongqiu tribe died

because of their sacred tree.

Qingkui

took her own life to protect you.

What gives you the right to kill me?

What gives you the right to desecrate

the Ninth Heaven Hall?

You're the one responsible

for everyone's death.

Princess, don't listen to him. Kill him!

Since the news

of you and Qingkui being the Twin Flowers of doom

had spread throughout the four realms,

countless commoners

have petitioned the heaven

for Void Tyrant and me to have you both killed

to preserve the four realms!

So what if the people had petitioned?

The immortals stand at the pinnacle of power and knowledge

to guide the world.

How can we

let innocent people die in vain

just because of a moment of people's violence and restlessness?

The world will never tolerate you

as long as Yetan lives.

Princess, you promised

to seek justice for Dongqiu.

Kill the Heavenly Emperor! Kill him

to avenge the tribespeople

and Princess Qingkui!

Tan!

Your Majesty!

I've always been regarded as the harbinger of disaster

by the world.

It was so ten thousand years ago, and it's still so today.

I cannot change that just by killing one person.

Princess.

Suzhi,

I've ruined his cultivation.

Now that he has lost the support of his people and family,

let's consider

our enmity from the past as settled.

Princess!

Human emotions cannot be eradicated.

Tan.

Thank you for sparing him.

Get lost.

Get out!

Move!

Get lost, all of you!

[Fenyuan Hall]

You're back...

Emperor Tun.

Emperor Tun.

Where's Tan?

Don't say anything.

Is she safe?

Emperor Tun, please rest assured.

The generals of the immortals

secretly helped Youqin.

My sister-in-law is unharmed.

In the end, she showed mercy

and spared my father's life.

Youqin

has also regained his memories.

Where are they now?

As soon as Yetan returned,

she went to mourn Qingkui

at Luowei Grotto.

Youqin went along with her.

Qingkui,

Void Tyrant's spirit had dissipated,

and the Heavenly Emperor's cultivation has also been destroyed.

I've avenged you.

Is this Kui responding?

She heard us?

She heard us.

Tan. Tan! Tan!

What's wrong?

Tan!

Tan. Tan.

You're awake.

How do you feel?

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

When you needed me the most,

I wasn't by your side.

Did you know?

When I suddenly lost Qingkui

and you after that,

I felt

I was pushed deep into the abyss.

I'm sorry.

I was too careless.

I failed to protect you.

It was my fault. I'm sorry.

How did you manage to remember me?

Silly.

We've been through so many hardships

along the way.

That Stake of Oblivion

can never erase the memories.

Do you still remember Penglai Hall?

Our memories are everywhere

in the vast galaxy.

They are unforgettable

and can't be erased.

Father! Mother!

Father! Mother!

Father! Mother!

Father, Mother,

I

will definitely avenge you!

Yetan.

Qingheng,

were you here this whole time?

Yes.

Has she returned?

No.

When she returned from the Heavenly Realm that day,

I could tell she was upset.

So I wanted to keep her company.

But she said she wanted to be alone.

I was worried.

So I decided to wait for her here.

Are you here to see Suzhi too?

She's also avoiding me now.

Perhaps

she resents me for what happened

at Ninth Heaven Hall.

The immortals were despicable

in handling the Soul-Gathering Lamp.

She probably still harbors

a lot of resentment toward them.

I guess the distance between me and her

is only getting wider.

I'll talk to her when she comes back.

Do you know what Di Lanjue and Ziwu are doing?

I haven't seen them

ever since the last time they came

to visit me with Father.

The four realms haven't been peaceful recently.

They may be busy

with their clan's affairs.

Qingheng, you've been busy for so many days.

You should go back and rest.

If I have her news,

I'll send someone to inform you immediately.

All right.

(Since the news of you and Qingkui)

(being the Twin Flowers of doom)

(had spread throughout the four realms,)

(countless commoners have petitioned the heaven)

(for Void Tyrant and me to have you both killed)

(to preserve the four realms!)

Go away!

Leave us alone!

Let me check on your injuries.

Go away.

But...

Your injuries will get infected.

-Go away! -It's none of your business!

Help the warrior up.

Leave!

The priority is to treat your injuries.

Don't touch me!

Leave!

I won't let you treat me even if it kills me!

Leave!

Go away.

Leave me alone.

Dear all,

my daughter came to the Void for revenge

and harmed you by mistake

in her grief for her deceased sister.

I sincerely apologize for her actions.

I've arranged for the best physicians

to treat your injuries.

If any of you still harbor resentment,

please direct it toward me.

I'll not run away.

However, I ask you

to prioritize treating your injuries

and not delay your recovery.

How's your injury?

Don't move your hand.

I'll help you bandage it.

Does it hurt here?

Tan.

So you saw everything.

I was thinking

there must be many people

in the Void Army who wanted to kill me

for revenge.

Every time

Di Lanjue and Ziwu came to visit me,

they were always in a hurry

and looked tired.

Father has also become increasingly thin

and has gray hair.

It turns out they're working hard

to calm the anger in people's hearts

and secretly protecting me.

Yes.

Emperor Tun discovered

several wounded soldiers hiding here

and plotting to assassinate you for revenge.

He rushed back to the palace the same night

to ask Physician Peng

to bring a large amount of medicine

to treat the wounded

and appease the angry soldiers.

When the four realms pursued us,

he also thought

about fighting to the death with the immortals and the voidwalkers.

He tried every means

to protect you to the best of his ability.

He didn't want me to tell you these things

because he was afraid you would overthink

and cause you more distress.

The four realms don't accept me

and killed my loved ones.

I seek revenge for my family.

But I have become their enemy in turn.

This cycle of good and evil

and endless injustice and retribution continues.

And I've implicated

my father and friends.

What is the purpose

of my life?

Tan.

I want some time alone.

Qingkui...

I miss you.

Now,

I feel such torment in my heart.

If only you were here with me,

I could talk to you.

You embroidered an image of me.

So I'll embroider an image of you too.

I'll pretend that you're still with me.

Qingkui,

I wanted

to seek revenge on those who came after our lives.

I thought

I would become the cruelest person

in the world.

(But I spared the Heavenly Emperor's life.)

(Suzhi resents me for it.)

Everything I just witnessed and heard

has made me uncertain

about what to do.

Qingkui.

Tan,

it's been days since we last met.

You look worn out now.

Qingkui,

I miss you.

There, there, Tan.

You have been through a lot

these past few days.

Qingkui,

I regret it so much.

I regret arguing

with you in Wangliang City.

I regret not being able

to stop you when we were in Guixu.

I never

blamed you

or left you.

I saw you being sad for me

and also saw you

stayed true to yourself in time,

not letting yourself fall into

the abyss of revenge.

My little Tan, you did well.

But the world's prejudice is hard to eliminate.

The stigma of being a Twin Flower

is also hard to get rid of.

Does it not sadden you

that we were forced into

a dead end like this?

Some things are predetermined by fate, and it's hard to change the human heart.

Since we were born of the Ganoderma Vein,

we are destined to have this unfortunate fate.

Blaming others for our misfortunes will only harm your state of mind.

Resorting to violence will only harm others and yourself.

Do you still remember

what we talked about in Wangliang City?

No matter how deep we fall into the mud,

we must be optimistic

and live the life we want.

You gave me

my life.

In this life,

I live not only for myself

but also for you.

Qingkui,

I'll let go if you let go.

My dear Tan,

I'm really happy

that you've come around.

Don't worry.

With your protection,

Youqin,

Father,

and many of my friends by my side,

I'll live well.

I was embroidering you. Can you teach me?

Qingkui.

Qingkui, were you here?

Qingkui?

Tan.

I know you were not in a good mood.

So I went to the Mortal Realm

and got you

your favorite wonton.

Here you go.

These are the side dishes.

What's the matter?

Don't you like it?

I'll get you something else.

What's wrong?

Qingkui and Man

died protecting me.

People who love me

are also protecting me with all their might.

I've avenged Qingkui,

and my heart is at peace.

For all of you,

I'll eat well, sleep well,

and live well.

You

are the toughest girl I've ever seen.

Your toughest girl

would like a gift.

What do you want?

Can you set off fireworks for me one more time?
