[The Legends of Changing Destiny]

Episode 38

Your Majesty

That-rock demon has brought

a nether arts user with him.

Looks like he's going to bypass the Overlord

to investigate the matter himself.

Bypass the Overlord?

Are you saying

that they still don't know

what the rock demon is investigating?

In my opinion,

he's just suspecting something.

But he's not sure about it yet.

If that's the case, it's still fine.

Continue to investigate.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The plan that I've laid down since a long time ago

is finally in motion.

It'll be a dead end for you.

This is the page about Que'er's death.

It's empty.

Why is it empty?

That's impossible.

Martial Brother.

Please take a look at this for me.

The information about her reincarnation is sealed off with a secret spell.

But it's true that her soul is recorded in this column.

Does it mean...

It means that she has been resurrected.

And there must be another record of her in this Book of Death.

(Does it mean)

(that I'll be able to see Que'er again soon?)

(It has been more than a century.)

(I've waited for more than a century.)

(A century ago,)

(I was just a weak and helpless demon.)

(Now, I've become)

(the Supreme Ruler of Nine Territories who fears nothing.)

(I no longer fear the consequences of trespassing on the Life and Death Hall.)

(I no longer fear taking her down with me with the Heavenly Court hot on my tail.)

(Now, I just need to find her)

(and fulfill my vow to her.)

(I'll make her dream come true)

(and bring her back to Qilai Mountain.)

(The truth will come out if he manages to find her.)

But this secret spell is strange is wicked.

In my opinion, there are only a few in this world

that can break it.

It's okay.

I just need to know that the record is here.

If Venerable One Wuji can find it,

so can we.

Lord Xuanming.

Lord Xuanming, come out at once.

I'm here.

Tell me now.

Which book is the most recent one

that Venerable One Wuji looked at?

Venerable One?

More than a century ago,

Venerable One Wuji visited the Life and Death Hall

to look at the Book of Death twice.

Don't tell me that you don't remember.

Venerable One

looked at some books from those bookshelves.

Let's go.

Which bookshelf? Tell me.

It's somewhere among these bookshelves.

These bookshelves?

Are you telling me

that Venerable One read several books from these bookshelves all at once?

Do you want to die?

King Rocky.

Venerable One did read several books from these bookshelves.

I've told you everything I know.

I wouldn't lie to you.

Really? Let me ask you again then.

If you can't give me the answer,

I'll ask someone else.

Brother, he's not lying to you.

With Venerable One's spiritual attainment,

reading several books from different bookshelves all at once is an easy feat.

We have to go through

every page of all the books

in these bookshelves.

Do it now.

Yes!

Are we still not sure what the rock demon is looking for?

Yes. But one thing for sure is,

it is related to the Venerable One.

It's related to the Venerable One?

It's related to the Venerable One?

Venerable One?

Continue to investigate. We have to find out.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I won again.

You win every day.

Do you have to be so happy about it?

No. This round of the weiqi is different from the usual rounds.

I'm going to use it to do something major.

Something that can set the future of the world.

Yu'er. Be careful.

I'm fine, Father. Don't worry about me.

Stand up? Are you okay?

I'm fine, Father.

I just haven't gotten used to it yet.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care of you.

Take care of me?

I'm afraid that you can't even take care of yourself.

I'm fine.

Are all the men in Middle Earth

as frivolous as you?

Didn't you say that it's improper for men and women to touch each other?

If you need anything after this,

you can come to me.

I'll take care of you.

Give that to me.

You've helped me so much.

I can't possibly

let a man like you cook for us.

But who are you?

Why do you refuse to tell me your name?

I keep thinking that you look familiar.

Have we never met before?

We have never met before.

I'm just the mausoleum keeper here.

The mausoleum keeper?

Who is buried in the tomb then?

My comrades are buried in the tomb.

But where are we?

Why are my father and I here?

I remember

that we just showed up here all of a sudden that day.

And you are the first person we met.

And I've not met

anyone else other than you.

I've found it strangely odd.

I'm sure you know something that I don't.

Are you sure we've never met before?

Food is ready.

Father. Come and try our cooking.

You can cook now, Yu'er?

I think I have the talent for it.

Here. Give it a taste.

Okay.

Give it a taste.

Young man. Let me drink a toast to you. With tea instead of liquor.

Thank you.

Here. Eat some vegetables.

Can you get used to the way of life here?

You came from afar.

But I don't have any good tea for you.

Please forgive me.

I've drunk all kinds of tea in this world.

What we drink doesn't matter.

What matters is who we drink it with and whether it's worth it or not.

There aren't many who I look up to

in this world.

I thought that you would be watched by many

when you were sent here to be the mausoleum keeper.

I never thought that you would be so free out here.

Looks like the Heavenly Emperor is not that inane yet.

When we look at it that way,

you aren't foolish to pledge your loyalty to him.

You are too kind, Yuzhen.

I am foolish.

I can't even make a woman

happy.

But I thought that I could manage the Three Realms.

In the end, I just brought trouble to others and myself.

The 600,000 bodies of Tianhe soldiers

in this mausoleum are proof of that, right?

Being their mausoleum keeper

is already the best ending for me.

I dare not wish for more on the court,

and I don't want to wish for more.

There

is no black and white in this world.

Success and failure don't matter as long as you have a clear conscience.

Isn't that an unshaken conviction of yours?

No matter what happens, always stay true to yourself.

Are you telling me that you are doubting yourself now?

Not thinking about it is good too. If you don't think about it,

you won't have much to worry about.

It has been a millennium.

It's time to live for yourself.

She

must be the reincarnation of Fairy Nichang, right?

Does she know that?

She doesn't know.

And I don't want her to know.

Although I'm a mausoleum keeper in the Mortal Realm,

I am still a deity.

Everything is as usual. Nothing has changed.

She just wants to take good care of her father.

And I just want to take good care of her.

Having a simple life is not bad.

I'm here this time

just to pay a visit to my old friend.

I don't have to worry anymore

now that I see you are living a good life.

It's my pleasure

to be a good friend of yours.

It's not bad for me

to be the friend

of the stern and incorruptible Marshal Beichen.

Since we are friends,

if you run into any problems after this,

you can always reach out to me.

I will.

You have to do it.

Otherwise, I'll be mad at you.

I promise you that.

This relaxing time

is not as lively as before.

But it has its own kind of appeal.

I won't bother you further from enjoying this peace.

Farewell.

Farewell.

Let me ask you.

What were you talking about just now?

Were you

hiding something from me?

I heard everything.

Your name is Beichen.

Why isn't it here?

Why isn't it here?

That's impossible.

It's impossible that it's not here.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Rocky, Kidnapper Lv wants to know

when you will be going back.

Qilai Mountain can't be without you.

Has the Heavenly Court made a move?

No.

Then, take care of Qilai Mountain themselves.

It has been so many years.

And Qilai Mountain has been fine without me.

Why is it not here?

What's going on?

Did he tear that page away

or did he hide the whole book?

That's impossible. Did you

miss the book by any chance?

I don't think we did.

All of us looked for it carefully.

Moreover,

we were aided by Elder Youquan's magic.

I'm sure we didn't miss it.

Let's look for it from the top again.

What?

I said, let's look for it from the top again.

We must have missed it.

We'll switch places with each other and look for it from the top again.

I'm sure we'll find it.

It's not possible for us to miss it.

My lord, time doesn't exist in the Underworld.

Based on everyone's condition,

I'm sure we've spent more than a month looking for it.

If we start from the top again...

I know you are anxious about it.

But something else may be amiss here.

Maybe we should go back and regroup first.

I've waited more than a century for this day.

One month is nothing to me.

I'm going to find it,

even if it'll take me a year or a decade,

let alone a month.

I'm sorry.

Let's start from the top again.

Let's search the other bookshelves.

I'm sure we'll find it

as long as we continue to look for it.

Do you hear that?

Let's switch places with each other and look for it again.

(I don't want him to find it.)

(But he's so persistent.)

(I can't bear to keep it a secret from him anymore.)

(Maybe it's time)

(for everything to come to an end.)

(After I tell him the truth,)

(won't have to feel bad for keeping this a secret anymore.)

(And he'll find Que'er)

(who he has been looking for.)

(Instead of losing his mind)

(over the Book of Death in the Underworld.)

Your Highness, King Rocky refuses to come back.

Okay. I'll attend the morning court

on behalf of him tomorrow.

Yes.

It's time for me to tell you who you really are.

That way, you'll walk on the path

that I've laid down for you.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What are you hiding?

Rocky, don't look!

Go back and rest.

All of you had worked hard.

I'll reward you accordingly after this.

Black Mole, take care of Youquan's accommodation.

Yes, my lord.

Martial Brother, thank you for what you've done.

Let's go.

Fengling.

Come with me.

Rocky, listen to me.

That page on the Book of Death may be a fake one.

A fake one?

That page is empty.

How can it be a fake one?

Empty?

[Canary: Reincarnated as Fengling]

You've always been the one I trust the most.

Now, tell me.

Why did you hide it from me?

No. Rocky. Wait.

Didn't you say that this page

is about the reincarnation of Que'er?

It's sealed off by a secret spell.

Even Youquan can't break the spell.

Only Que'er herself

can see its content

or if the spell is broken.

I don't have to ask.

I'm sure this is Venerable One Wuji's doing.

Que'er herself?

Can you see the content of the page?

No.

You hid it without reading it first.

Why?

This is Youquan's spell.

How did you know

that it was the one I wanted

with just a glance?

Are you really not keeping a secret from me?

No.

Fine.

Forget it. You can go back now.

You don't have to be involved in Que'er's matter anymore after this.

Rocky, can I ask you some questions?

Go ahead.

If...

It's just a supposition.

If Que'er has been reincarnated,

how will you treat her?

What do you mean?

I'll bring her back when her life is near the end

and return her memories before the reincarnation to her.

I've made myself clear, right?

What if she has become a deity?

I

will protect her forever

until the end.

Your Highness, King Rocky is back.

He's in his room now.

He sent everyone away except Fengling.

I don't know what they are talking about.

Has he found the thing he wants?

I don't think so.

General Lippy told me that King Rocky is not in a good mood

and asked us not to disturb him.

So, the chancellor

hopes that you can continue to attend the court tomorrow.

Tell him that I will.

Yes, Your Highness.

Rocky, who is Que'er

to you?

She was my first friend

when I came to this world.

And she was my savior.

She was with me

when I had nothing.

And she supported me without any hesitation.

She even sacrificed her life for me.

Now that I'm powerful,

should I forget about her?

I can't forget about her.

I'll never forget her.

If it hadn't been to save me,

she wouldn't have...

So, for her,

I will fight.

For her, I'll challenge Venerable One Wuji.

For her, I won't mind getting kicked out of my sect.

For her, I'll sacrifice my life.

I didn't go to the Underworld all these years.

not because I forgot about her.

But because I knew that I was not powerful enough.

I knew that I could not challenge Venerable One Wuji yet.

It took me 18 years

to reach Wankong Mountain.

I've never forgotten about my vow to her.

If it hadn't been for her,

I wouldn't have made it to Wankong Mountain.

If it weren't for her,

I wouldn't be where I am today.

But in the end,

Venerable One Wuji...

He must be the one who sealed off the Book of Death.

I'm sure Que'er's soul is in his grasp.

Venerable One Wuji.

Venerable One Wuji.

I'll destroy you!

Rocky. Actually, I...

Don't they think that I don't know what they are planning.

They want to use Que'er as a bargaining chip.

Venerable One Wuji.

Grandmaster Jiekong.

The Great Deities of the Three Realms.

If they dare lay a finger on Que'er,

I'll take them down with me, even if it's at the cost of my life.

I'll show the Three Realms what I'm capable of.

We'll see who wins in the end.

(You have such a nice voice.)

(Why don't you sing more often?)

When I was young, I didn't know.

I didn't know why canaries would come to me when I sang.

I didn't want others to think of me as a monster.

So, I didn't dare to sing.

I didn't know

why they were always with me.

Now, I know.

It's because I'm a canary too.

Sir, have you always known?

[Canary: Reincarnated as Fengling]

You already know.

That's why you approached me

when I left Northern Yaoguang Cave.

I was a fool.

I was foolish to think

that running into Grandmaster was just a coincidence.

If I'm the reincarnation of Que'er,

who is that person in Wuji Hall?

She's a feather from your body.

She has the same memories as you.

Even the Soul Searching Spell

can't tell the difference.

That is Que'er's feather.

Not mine.

Because Que'er and Fengling

are two different people.

If she lives, I'll die.

Sir.

Can you tell me everything?

Tell me everything.

Because I want to know

those things that Rocky

wanted to tell me but didn't.

Because I don't want to die without knowing the reason.

Actually, you've managed to guess

most of the things.

But there's something important that you lack.

You

can't put all of the pieces together.

I am in charge of the Heavenly Path.

And Rocky

is a foreign being that's not from the Heavenly Path.

Before I found him,

every move he made

severely disrupted the order of the Heavenly Path.

And it caused a chain reaction.

But the worst crack

was because of you.

You died for him

and reincarnated to be by his side again.

That caused the crack to widen.

Other than letting the Heavenly Path heal itself,

I need to make a plan

so that the two of you

can follow the route of the Heavenly Path.

The path that he should take is to continue fighting against us

until he returns to his original state and gets reabsorbed into the world.

That is the only way to return the order to the Heavenly Path.

And your path is...

My path...

My path is to die.

Because I shouldn't have existed in the first place, right?

To be more accurate, not only you,

even your past, Que'er,

shouldn't have existed.

Why didn't you

kill me

when you first saw me?

You are powerful enough to do that.

No. You can't die.

Rocky knows you.

If you die,

he'll find out the cause of your death.

If he opens the Book of Death,

it'll be a lose-lose situation.

A lose-lose situation.

No. I can't let that happen.

Sir, what are you going to do then?

What do you think I can do?

What I'm trying to say is,

if you are willing to kill yourself,

I promise you that I'll protect Rocky.

As long as he sticks to my plan,

I'll keep him alive

after the Heavenly Path has been restored.

But he won't remember you anymore.

That way,

the Three Realms will return to their former state of peace.

And if I say no?

You will say yes.

Think about it. I'll wait for your answer.

So, his warm smile is just a facade.

Everything is just a facade.

If I'm really the reincarnation of Que'er,

what will the people in Northern Yaoguang Cave think?

Do my Master and Grandmaster know about this?

Are they going to sit by and do nothing?

So, everything is just a facade.

What about Rocky?

What will Rocky do if he finds out about this?

I've waited more than a century for this day.

One month is nothing to me.

I'm going to find it

even if it'll take me a year or a decade,

let alone a month.

Do you know what this means to me?

I betrayed my sect and traveled far and wide.

When I woke up and saw Rocky,

I thought that my long journey had finally ended.

But I was wrong.

For me,

my destiny had just started.

Should I tell Rocky about everything?

When I've come to power,

I'll put up a banner

on the mountain to tell everyone that I'm invincible.

If anyone makes you angry

or bullies you,

I'll be the first to stand up

for you.

If I disappear,

Rocky won't remember Que'er,

and he won't be troubled by her.

If I disappear,

the Venerable One can restore the Heavenly Path

and he won't target Rocky anymore.

If I disappear,

my master

won't get mad at this disobedient disciple anymore.

What should I do?

What should I do?

You can't even find out what the rock demon

is searching for in the Underworld!

You told me that the rock demon

went to the Underworld with his party

to find that person

in the record.

And you said that if we could find it first,

we would have a way to defeat him.

So, where's the record now?

Your Majesty, the rock demon waited in the Life and Death Hall

until the Book of Death recovered by itself

before he left.

So...

So, we don't know what he was looking for!

What do I need all of you for?

Investigate it.

We have to find out

who he's looking for.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Martial Brother. It's good that you are here.

Bring me to our master.

Why do you need to meet him?

I want him

to break the seal on the Book of Death.

He has gone into seclusion.

Gone into seclusion?

As if I'll believe that.

Be honest with me. Is he because he doesn't want to see me?

When did he go into seclusion?

Last night.

Eldest Martial Brother.

What did he say before he went into seclusion?

He said that he couldn't help you

with what you want.

Does he know why I'm looking for him?

I think so.

Does he know what's written

in the Book of Death?

As his disciples, we shouldn't make our own assumptions.

Where is he?

I don't know.

He didn't tell you where he went into seclusion?

Does he need

to explain himself to us?

There are many things that I have to handle.

If there's nothing else,

you may see yourself out.

So, you are kicking me out.

I guess.

No matter what, I have to see him today.

I don't believe

that he stays in seclusion if I turn the entire Northern Yaoguang Cave

upside down.

You are used to causing trouble.

But do you think Northern Yaoguang Cave

is like Qilai Mountain

where everything goes your way?

Enough.

Stop-quarreling.

Youwu.

You know Master's temperament.

If he doesn't want to see you,

even if you turn the entire Northern, Yaoguang Cave upside down,

it'll be pointless.

What is Master thinking?

Why won't he help me?

If he wants to cut ties with me, he can just say it.

Don't play games with me.

Is he going to tell me

not to mention his name if something happens?

What he means is,

he can't break this seal either.

Can't he say that to me in person?

He doesn't want to see you.

He doesn't want to see me?

When Mengxiang was with a fairy,

he was scolded by Master.

But he doesn't even say anything when I've caused

such huge trouble.

In the end, he doesn't think of me as his disciple.

He only cares about his own plan.

I

will not give up on this.

That man.
