ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

She failed the tribulation.

Big Blockhead!

Big Blockhead, are you all right?

The Goddess of Xishan.

I thought I was just an ordinary plant.

But now…

Moon Supreme Lord,

tell me.

I don't belong to the Fairy Tribe

or the Moon Tribe.

So what am I?

The Xilan Holy Seal.

So she is…

Orchid.

Orchid!

Xie Wanqing is really dead.

Xiao Run is also dead.

They failed in their tribulations.

I'm going to k*ll you!

My lord, take Fairy Orchid away first.

Do you want to leave?

You are no match for him.

Don't go after him.

Fairy Danyin.

Please take care of my master's corpse

and bury her properly.

Lord Changheng

has also failed his tribulation.

His spirit has dissipated.

Not necessarily.

Before I came here,
I saw Changheng's destiny in this life.

Changheng's tribulation

is not to k*ll Xie Wanqing.

In this life,

he dies to save the one he cares about.

The one he cares about?

It should have been Orchid.

It shouldn't have been me.

What happened to me?

What is this place?

You're fine.

We're about to reach the Oblivion River.

After we cross the river,

we'll be able to go home.

SHENSHUI HALL, SHUIYUNTIAN

I didn't expect that

I could find a confidant today.

Have we met before?

The fairy in the painting?

From now on,

I, Xiao Run, and Mr. Dongfang

are sworn brothers.

It's so ugly.

It didn't even show a bit of my beauty.

You are right.

It should belong

to the one I really love.

It wasn't until I met you

that I realized

you must be its owner.

Orchid.

Orchid,

sit down.

Big Blockhead.

Are you all right?

What a bunch of losers.

Why can't I command Hellfire?

Big Blockhead.

Dongfang Qingcang
is at the end of his rope.

k*ll him.

No!

Orchid.

Stop!

Lord Changheng.

Did you pass your tribulation?

Since Changheng, the God of w*r,

has returned from his tribulation,

it's imperative
to destroy Dongfang Qingcang.

Who dares to harm her?

Fairy Orchid is a fellow immortal,

not a traitor to Shuiyuntian.

Anyone who harms her

will make an enemy of me!

Since the God of w*r vouches for her,

I guess there must be a misunderstanding.

Fine.

After k*lling Dongfang Qingcang,

Orchid can return to Shuiyuntian,

safe and sound.

Orchid, come home with me.

Come home?

Although I haven't left
Shuiyuntian for long,

my life in Arbiter Hall

seems like thousands of years

or tens of thousands of years ago.

Even in my dreams, I want to go home.

I miss the flowers and plants
at Arbiter Hall,

Aunt Sansheng's nagging,

and Fairy Danyin's loud voice.

I had always thought

I could live peacefully in Yujing,

gradually growing

into an old fairy.

Come back with me.

Nothing will change.

If you return to Shuiyuntian,

whether you go back to Arbiter Hall

or come to Fountain Palace,

it will be your choice.

I promise

that no one in Shuiyuntian

will treat you badly.

I'm sorry,

Lord Changheng.

Orchid!

Obstinate.

k*ll them!

Changheng.

I've been patient with you

since you're my brother.

Yet you're in league

with Dongfang Qingcang

and a traitor of Shuiyuntian

and openly rebelling.

This is an unforgivable sin!

Changheng.

Do you want to rebel?

I used to respect you as my brother.

For millennia, I obeyed the laws of heaven

and followed your lead.

But after this tribulation
in the Mortal World,

I've come to understand a lot.

Not until today did I realize

that in your eyes,

Mother's fervent love
for her sons is cowardice

and my longing
for the person I love is a mistake.

You view all sincere feelings

as merely foolish and unbearable.

If this absurdity is the law of heaven,

so what if I rebel against it?

The immortal criminal Changheng

openly rebelled,

committing the same crime
as the Moon Tribe.

If anyone sees him,

k*ll him without mercy.

Congratulations, my lord.

It has been 30,000 years.

This moment has finally come.

It's funny that they had the fate poem,

but they never grasped
the true meaning of the poem.

I've followed my master
through thousands of lifetimes.

I've already figured out

that she has to die
in every life because of her beloved one.

So the beloved that was mentioned

is not just the most obvious choice.

The one who needed to make the k*ll

to help my master pass the tribulation

was actually Dongfang Qingcang,

whom she truly loved in this life.

Master.

Finally, you don't have
to suffer through any more tribulations.

Don't worry, Master.

I've placed your primordial spirit

in a safe place

to help you complete
the last step before the resurrection.

It is a place

that no one can guess.

Didn't you always say
that you are the supreme lord

and the strongest of the three realms?

So you'll be fine, right?

Dongfang Qingcang.

Please wake up. Please.

As long as you wake up,

no matter
how much you hurt me or lie to me,

I won't be angry.

I beg you.

Don't leave me alone.

You're awake.

You're finally awake!

I was scared to death, you know?

I'm fine.

Don't cry.

I'm not crying.

I'm just happy.

Are you thirsty?

I'll get you some water.

You…

It's all right now.

I guess you don't know.

My blood can bring the dead back to life.

It's strange.

Why does my blood have
such a miraculous effect?

Why are you even thinking about this?

Don't use your blood to save others again.

I'm no exception.

Do you hear me?

How can you be angry
when you're so badly hurt?

I'm willing to do it.

It doesn't hurt at all.

I'm not lying.

Why did you save me?

Didn't you always want to go home?

Anyway…

I can't go back anyway.

Now that you've saved me,
you really can't.

Why exactly?

Let's not talk about that.

You must be hungry.

I'll go get you something to eat.

Why?

Because…

Because I…

My lord!

Let's go.

I want to jump into the river.

I want to get out!

Help!

Why me?

Let me go!

Release me!

Orchid, where are you?

Those who were taken
by the Lord of Haishi to refine evil qi

are suffering to this extent.

Their spirits are broken.

Their grievances are too deep

for them to rest in peace.

Among them,

there are spirits
of the Moon Tribe and the Fairy Tribe.

Could it be that the deaths
of the 3,000 heavenly soldiers

were also the Lord of Haishi's doing?

Let me go back!

Everyone, please don't worry.

Please bear with it for a while.

I will find a way

to purify your grievances

and end your suffering.

You couldn't use Hellfire?

How could you get so badly injured?

It was my fault.

I failed to protect you.

It was just a momentary loss of power.

There's no need to panic.

Cangyan Sea is now settled.

The Kings of North and South You
are disloyal.

If they find out about this,

I fear they will cause unrest.

Those two?

Even if I can't use Hellfire,

k*lling them won't be difficult.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

Moon Supreme,

focus on recovering.

Shangque and I will keep this a secret.

We'll wait for you
to recover from your injuries.

Thank you.

Don't mention it.

You and I are brothers.

That's right.

We are brothers.

I'll leave now.

I'll see Lord Xunfeng off.

Have some medicine.

Why are you smiling?

I think

my wish seems to have come true.

What wish?

Forget it. Don't ask.

Drink the medicine. It's getting cold.

Since you're done,

I'll leave now.

Get some rest.

You too.

What?

She's the reason
the Moon Supreme was seriously injured?

And in order to save her,

he even k*lled
the mortal reincarnation of Lady Chidi?

Lord Xunfeng,

don't disturb the lord.

That fairy
keeps bothering the Moon Supreme.

She's a real nuisance.

I'll go and k*ll her now

to eliminate future problems.

Lord Xunfeng, you mustn't!

Lord Xunfeng!

It's just a fairy.

Why can't I k*ll her?

Moon Supreme.

I'm connected to Orchid
by the One Heart Curse.

We get injured and die together.

If you k*ll her,

you k*ll me.

This is my greatest weakness now.

I trust you.

I will never reveal a word.

You are the leader of the three realms,

but now your life

is in the hands of a weak fairy.

How malicious

is this woman?

The curse on me was an accident.

It has nothing to do with Orchid.

On the contrary, if it weren't for her,

I would still be imprisoned
in Haotian Tower.

But in Lucheng,

not only did she cause you
serious injuries,

but she also ruined the plan

to unseal 100,000 of our soldiers.

What is she, if not a scourge?

Are you blaming me?

I don't dare.

I blame myself too.

Revenge on Shuiyuntian
for oppressing our tribe

and the pain of Father
being forced to k*ll himself

are always on my mind.

The 100,000 soldiers in Xuanxu Realm

pains me to the core even more.

I perpetually yearn to break the seal

and welcome them back.

But now, it seems that

I have indeed let down
the people of the Moon Tribe.

-My lord.
-Moon Supreme.

You haven't recovered yet.

Don't wear yourself out.

No one understands your desperation

better than I do.

But at this point,

you should pretend

that Lady Chidi's spirit
was destroyed 30,000 years ago

without a single fragment remaining.

Let's think of another way.

Why are you standing here?

Jieli,

this is a sachet that I just made

that can calm the mind.

Me?

You go and deliver it.

-Me?
-I need to be alone.

Orchid!

Jieli said that you want to be alone.

I can accompany you.

Big Blockhead.

You shouldn't have saved me.

I don't need you to tell me what to do.

I hope the former God of w*r
can pass her tribulation and ascend.

I can't bear to see the soldiers

forever sealed in the Xuanxu Realm,

never able to see their loved ones.

But we've failed
at these two matters because of me.

And…

I also caused you to get hurt.

It was my decision to k*ll Xie Wanqing.

You don't need to feel guilty about it.

And I will never regret saving you

at that time.

There will be another way

to free the Moon Tribe soldiers.

But in all the three realms,

I can't find

another timid crybaby Orchid

who likes to meddle

and causes me a lot of trouble

but also worries and takes care of me,

makes me willing to regenerate
my Seven Emotions Tree for her,

cry with her,

and laugh with her.

In my eyes,

you have never been
an insignificant plant.

You are not a plant at all.

Orchid.

Haven't you always wanted
to know who you are?

Orchid.

Lord Changheng?

What are you doing here?

To take Orchid away of course.

Just try.

If you want a problem,

I'll give you a problem.

Stop!

Can you put down your swords first?

Before I take Orchid away,

I have something important to say.

I think I've seen
such fragmented spirits before

at Haishi's Soul Transformation Grounds.

I've already destroyed
the Soul Transformation Cauldron.

Why are they still unable
to return to the Oblivion River?

These deceased were tortured
when they were alive.

Their spirits can't return
to the Return to Ruin Realm

because they are mutilated and lost.

They wander the Oblivion River,

unable to rest in peace.

I will not tolerate such humiliation
for the people of the Moon Tribe.

The souls of our heavenly warriors

deserve to rest in peace.

I have a way

to appease and purify these spirits.

Is this the "Spirit of Knowledge Book"?

My master once told me

that this is a song composed

in ancient times
by the first Goddess of Xishan.

It has the power

to heal and purify the spirit.

Lord Dong and Lady Yan

once played it together

in worship of heaven and earth.

But for millions of years,

although this tune has spread
throughout the three realms,

no one could master it.

I know.

You're the Supreme Lord of the Moon Tribe.

You're the God of w*r of the Fairy Realm.

You two are the most powerful people

in the two tribes.

If you two can join forces,

you will surely be able to master it.

That's what I was thinking.

Moon Supreme Lord, what do you think?

He agrees. Of course he agrees.

This concerns more than Lord Changheng.

Moon Supreme Lord, you are so kind.

I'm sure you won't abandon
the Moon Tribe people. Am I right?

Since Orchid begged for a favor

and there's a good reason for it,

I'll allow it.

The music score.

Hold on.

You two must be tired

after practicing for so long.

Take a drink of water and rest.

One's music
can determine one's state of mind.

The sound of your music just now

was weak and feeble.

It is just like Shuiyuntian's hypocrites

who have been pampered for too long,

becoming of little use

and unable to take a single blow.

The Moon Supreme is wrong about this.

The "Spirit of Knowledge Book"
is a healing ritual song.

Your music was disorderly,
barbaric, and crude.

Music practice is like soldier training.

One cannot be too hasty.

If you rush into it,

you will definitely remain stagnant.

These two are not practicing the zither.

They're obviously
making jabs at each other.

Don't be so serious.

You were friends before, weren't you?

You even became sworn brothers in Lucheng.

-What happened there doesn't count.
-What happened there doesn't count.

You two are on the same page
about this though.

The reason your music isn't in harmony

may be because

you don't really understand each other.

The Fairy Tribe
and the Moon Tribe are at odds.

This cooperation is just temporary.

There's no understanding here.

It's not like that.

In fact, the Moon Tribe is not
as cruel and murderous as rumored

in the Fairy Realm.

On the contrary,

they also long for peace and quiet

because of constant warfare.

And at first,
Moon Tribe's ancestor, Lady Yan,

was betrayed by Chonghua.

-So she--
-That's enough.

The Moon Tribe doesn't need anyone
to defend them.

That wasn't my intention.

Moon Supreme Lord, you once said

that you've been considerate of others
after your emotions were restored.

You don't want your people to suffer

from separation
from their loved ones like you did.

If the Fairy Tribe and the Moon Tribe
can put aside prejudices

and turn hostility into friendship,

wouldn't your wish be fulfilled?

How can the Moon Supreme change
because of what you just said?

After all, you are not on the same side.

Lord Changheng truly has other motives.

I guess you don't really want
to cooperate with me either.

This won't do.

They don't see eye to eye.

If this keeps up,
I'm afraid it won't end well.

Moon Supreme Lord, take it easy.

You haven't yet recovered.

You mustn't strain your body and mind.

Why don't you rest for today

and practice again tomorrow?

That's not necessary.

It is still unknown
which tribe will emerge as the victor.

But a victor can be decided

between you and me today.

That's good.

I have the same intention.

That's enough!

As the Moon Supreme

and the God of w*r,

why don't you two have any decency?

Greetings, my lord.

What is happening here?

My lord, we are making a sacrifice.

A sacrifice?

For the past 30,000 years,

w*r has raged unceasingly.

Every year at this time,

we come to the Oblivion River

to pay tribute to our dead husbands,

brothers, and sons.

We release lanterns
and pray for blessings.

Why do these clay dolls

have no faces?

It's because they've been gone too long

for us to remember how they look.

And we don't know where their spirits are

or whether they've returned
to the bottom of the Oblivion River

to rest.

My lord,

do you still remember

what I told you last time?

I do.

I will do it.

I will bring our 100,000 soldiers back

from the Xuanxu Realm.
