[Episode 34]

Commandant Wu, how is your injury?

General, sorry I let you down.

I've heard about it.

What exactly happened there?

At that time, Captain Meng and I
were raiding their main forces

according to your splitting strategy,

when we were nearly ambushed.

Those Chong soldiers who attacked us
were very weird.

They seemed fearless of pain.

What's worse, when we retreated,

many enemy assassins
suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

We were caught completely off guard.

The All-Knowing was there.

What was our loss?

By the time I realized the problem,

we had lost 40 percent of our forces.

I didn't dare to get bogged down,
so I led our troops in retreat.

Commandant Wu,
the b*ttlefield is unpredictable.

You did well enough.

I'll send scouts to find out what happened.

When I offered you presents,

you'd at least give them a good look.

Now when I think of it,

these common things really don't suit you.

I've made you a queen's crown by myself.

Won't you try it on?

The one who wanted this crown
was k*lled by you.

Yan Zhang trained those puppet spirits
for you, didn't she?

She was completely devoted to you.

When you k*lled her,
you didn't even bat an eye.

You've found out?

My queen's crown will only be yours.

You so-called love makes me sick.

Here it is again, the same old look.

Si Mu,

the first time I saw you,
I fell in love with your disdainful look.

From then on, I could hardly forget that.

But I don't like it when you look at me

as if I were an ant!

It fits you perfectly, my queen.

Si Mu,

I've spoiled you too much.

Get out of here.

I will have these things replaced.

No matter how many you crush,

I'll just have them replaced.

No need.

I don't like dead things.

Why is His Lordship up there?

Isn't it inappropriate?

During Her Grace's seclusion,

for the sake of convenience,
from this day on,

I'll be the acting sovereign.

- What?
- All of you shall obey my orders.

Does this come from Her Grace?

- Yes, Your Lordship.
- You...

Yes, Your Lordship.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Your Lordship,

the 24 Temples and the Ascension Pool
have been searched.

Jiang Ai hasn't been found.

I've sent my men to search all the valleys.

I believe we'll find her soon.

You may leave too.

Do I have the honor to ease your worries,
Your Lordship?

What do you think is a dead thing,

and what is a living thing?

In my opinion,

dead things are in the Void.

Living things are in the Mortal World.

This cup is originally from the Mortal World.

Then why is it a dead thing in our world?

Perhaps because it was
never meant to belong here.

Flowers for sale.

Flowers.

- All sorts of trinkets for sale.
- Flowers for sale.

- Have a look.
- Flowers for sale.

Miss, would you like some flowers?

No, thank you.

- Living things?
- Flowers.

The Void is a dead land.

Earthly things can't survive here.

But I'll force them.

It's done.

Xu, get some rest early.

I'm all right now.

You should go to bed.

- But...
- I'm fine now.

Back in Weizhou,

we suffered heavy losses.

I must make a new strategy to retake Weizhou

and avenge our dead soldiers.

Chen Ying was right.

Great Ancestor wouldn't
want to see you like this.

Lu Da has become the High Priest.

I don't know how,
but he made his army fearless of death.

We're at a stalemate with them.

My injury is no big deal.

I examined the enemy's blood
on Commandant Xia's weapon.

I found out they were poisoned.

With this poison in their wounds,
the soldiers won't feel the pain

and they'll fight until death.

Lu Da used poison to manipulate his soldiers.

What a great cost.

To win this w*r, he has gone insane.

We both have suffered losses.

The w*r is deadlocked.

Why don't you calm down and think carefully?

Don't let panic take over,
or you'll take the bait.

If Great Ancestor returns and finds you dead,

your future will be ruined.

So will mine.

What's happening with Si Mu?

Something must be wrong with her.

You still won't tell the truth?

The Void...

Something indeed happened there.

But it's not very serious.

If the Sovereign vanished,

the Mortal World would definitely suffer.

Great Ancestor wouldn't
allow such a thing to happen.

General Duan,

you must stay alive.

Before she comes back to you,
you have to be alive.

I must stay alive too.

Let's go.

Si Mu,

I await your return.

[Xiazhou]

Five years later, Duan Xu led the Liang Army

to conquer Yingzhou, Tanzhou,
Ruzhou, and Mozhou.

But heavy forces of the Chong Army
still besieged them menacingly.

[Young Xue Chen Ying]

It's almost time.

Don't give me that look.

I don't do this for you, but for Si Mu.

Get better quickly.

I've wanted to ask.

Everyone in the Void
wants to be the Sovereign.

Why did you submit to He Si Mu?

In the past 300 years under her reign,

the Void has been the best I've ever seen.

No one else can be a better sovereign.

Since you told me what happened
during her reign,

I've been thinking.

If I had managed to be the Sovereign,

the Void under my reign...

It might be as terrible as it is now.

The real sovereign should
go back to the throne.

Any news on the Left Token?

We haven't found it yet.

What about Jiang Ai and Bai San Xing?

We are still searching.

It's been five years.

You haven't even found two spirits!

Your Lordship,

as long as Jiang Ai still holds the Token,

we can't open the spirit stone storehouse
to get any stones out.

She's been hiding for five years.

Our spirit stones are almost used up.

And yesterday,
a large number of spirits gathered.

They attacked the 24 Temples
and ransacked them.

Luckily, I led my men to execute them.

Outside the Sovereign's Hall,
chaos has been everywhere.

That's right.

Your Lordship, we have located Jiang Ai.

[Ascension Pool]

Yan Ke, since you're here,
why don't you come out?

Give me the Left Token
and I'll let you leave the Void.

I don't want to be hunted down

by the Starhaven Sect in the Mortal World.

Then you stay here and get annihilated!

Yan Ke, how dare you appear before me?

Does Si Mu know you brought out
your old lover?

Let me ask you this.

If Si Mu finds out you k*lled her father,

what will you do?

What...

You even k*lled your own kind.

You're really merciless.

It was you who k*lled He Si Mu's father.

But you stayed by her side deceitfully

and asked her to k*ll me,
the only witness to the truth.

If He Si Mu finds out,

she'll tear you apart.

That's why you were so nervous.

So you weren't scared that
Bai San Xing would find you.

You were scared that
Her Grace would know the truth

after she met with Bai San Xing.

You talk too much.



But being stuck in there for that long

has left you far weaker than before.

Leave.

[Left]

You can't get away.

The whole Void will soon be mine.

Si Mu, I suddenly remembered.

Today is the day we first met 300 years ago.

We should celebrate this anniversary.

That day, as I remember,
thousands of spirits rebelled.

You held the Kunwu Blade
to suppress them alone.

That was the first time I saw you.

You were shining brilliantly.

Si Mu, you always say I want supreme power.

You are wrong.

I want both,

you and power.

Without you, I couldn't govern the Void well.

Without you,

everything would be meaningless.

Today really is a day worth celebrating.



I had no choice but to take over the Void.

And today,

I'll k*ll the one who m*rder*d my father.

You... You know that?

I heard what you said on the Void Mountain.

I've done a lot of things these years.

This is the only thing
I never want you to know.

Back then, I wanted to be the Sovereign.

So I had no choice but to k*ll him.

But for your sake,

I've been the Right Hand over
the past 300 years and never complained!

Yet you still don't accept me.

So I have to lock you here.

But all these things no longer matter.

Si Mu,

I'll make it up to you.

You love the Mortal World, right?

I wouldn't mind uniting the two worlds.

Wherever you want to go,
I'll go there with you.

Just don't leave me.

You k*lled my father.

Does it really matter that much?

If I hadn't k*lled him,

would things be different between us?

There's no if!

This is where your father
established the Golden-wall Decrees.

You want to avenge him, don't you?

Then let's end this right here and now.

Stop the pursuit.

That was my oversight.

He pretended to fight me
just to grab the Glazed Pagoda

to hide his aura and make his escape.

He's out of reach now.

You were expelled from the Void?

Who allowed you to talk to me like this?

You came here to seek my help, didn't you?

Help?

You don't deserve it.

In that case, I won't hold you back.

You're merely a pawn.

I can give you power,
and I can take it back anytime.

You'd better get that straight.

Don't think being the High Priest

means you have nothing to worry about.

If the North Chong falls,
you'll perish with it too.

Duan Xu never loses a battle

simply because he has a pact
with the Sovereign.

No wonder in Youzhou,
his power was unmatched.

That's right.

The Sovereign is back on the throne.

The course of the w*r will be affected.

What should I do?

When I'm around, you will succeed.

All you have to do is follow my orders.

Si Mu, you're finally back.

Bai San Xing,

what are your plans for the future?

Will you still fight me for the throne?

It depends.



Then now,

I could do the same.

I'll be waiting.

Feel free to try.

Back then, I naively believed Yan Ke.

I thought he meant to help me,
so he k*lled He Yi Cheng,

and spread rumors that he died for love.

To my surprise,
he then worked with you to trap me.

Not until he and Jiang Ai
lured me into the Prison

and the three of you attacked me

did I realize
that everything was just his trap.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

I never believed my father died for love.

You were arrogant and rebellious,

but you never took advantage.

If you had k*lled my father,

you would have told everyone.

You didn't need that excuse.

I won't get over it until I capture Yan Ke.

From this day,

hunt down the traitor Yan Ke.

Restart the curfew.

Thoroughly investigate
all riots over the past five years.

Severely punish those who violated
the Golden-wall Decrees.

Yes, Your Grace.

Move!

Officer, I heard Her Grace
ended her seclusion

and restarted the Decrees.

Is that true, officer?

Orders from Her Grace!

Riots in the past five years
will be investigated!

- Excellent!
- Great!

Move!

This is great.

Her Grace is back.

I'm finally safe. Great!

Her Grace is back!

Awesome!

The Left Token is back with me.

The spirit stones
have been orderly distributed.

It's been five years.
I'm so happy to see you safe and sound.

It's been five years.

You're still as exuberant as before.

How I envy you.

You faithless traitor.

For five years, you worked for Yan Ke
and lived quite a prosperous life!

How could you still come?

Under Your Grace's orders,

I went undercover with Yan Ke.

He...

It's the evidence of the violation

of some lords who submitted to Yan Ke.

Please see the truth.

So you weren't loyal to him,
but worked as a spy?

Of course I wasn't loyal.

I endured all these years

just for this day when Her Grace returned

and set things right.

What a surprise, Yun.

You pretended so perfectly.

For all these years, I misjudged you.

Come on, I'll kowtow to you.

Hey, Lei Qi. It doesn't matter.

We all work for Her Grace.

You may rise.

- Thank you.
- This is great.

Her Grace is back.

The Void will be back to normal.

So this is how they have a meeting now.

Interesting.

[Liang]

Deliver the intel to Wu Sheng Liu.

It's been five years!

Do you know how worried he is?

You...

Si Mu, is it really you?

Are you really here?

It's me.

I summoned you so many times.

I know.

But you didn't come.

Now, I've come.

I'm all right.

Never before had I been that restless.

I couldn't reach you.

And I didn't know what was happening.

Don't worry.

If anything had happened to me,
you would have known.

If I had been annihilated,

the world would have fallen into chaos

and disasters would have raged.
