=Episode 40=

Your Yao Yi is dead.

Zhu Yan,

who looks just like her,

is not her reincarnation.

She has no feelings for you.

From now on, they'll travel in pairs

while you'll be all alone.

Stop it.

Stop it!

I don't want to hear that!

I don't want to hear that!

Zhi Yuan,

let's work together.

I'll help you turn Zhu Yan into Yao Yi.

I'll let you enjoy her soft embrace.

You just need to bring me across Biluo Sea

and locate the Sea Emperor.

Xuyao,

even if I do die,

I will never let you destroy Yunhuang.

Zhi Yuan,

stop struggling.

I feast on greed, anger,

resentment, and hatred.

I avoid genuine love.

Your beloved is already dead.

Now, there's no one

or anything in the world

that can make you reject me.

I'm trying to wake you up here.

I want you to sober up.

We can only achieve a win-win situation

if we work together.

That's right.

That's right.

We should work together.

You will bring Yao Yi back

while I'll locate

the Sea Emperor for you.

(Post of Ice Clan)

(Escort

Liquor store)

(Jialan Imperial City)

Yan'er, are you okay?

Here.

Take a break.

Eat up while it's hot.

Here.

Okay.

Waiter,

have you heard of this?

What is it?

The Crimson Clan had shielded the leader

of the rebel faction, Zhi Yuan,

for 200 years.

Before this, Zhi Yuan

staged a rebellion

with the Merfolk marine force.

And now, he's the leader of the Ice Clan.

I think he's bent on going against Kongsang.

Yeah.

Colluding with Zhi Yuan is a heinous crime.

I heard that the clan leader

and his wife took their own lives

to avoid punishment.

They deserved it.

Precisely.

What did you say?

Who took their own lives?

The Crimson King and his consort.

If I must say, their clan got it easy.

Only two of them died.

After committing such a crime,

the entire Crimson Clan should've

Yan'er!

Should've been ex*cuted, am I right?

Yeah, precisely.

They're so detestable.

(Memorial)

(Memorial tablet of Crimson King and his wife)

Princess.

Princess.

Please accept my condolences.

Mother.

Wake up.

Mother!

Father.

Please wake up.

Father.

Princess.

Please accept our condolences.

His Lordship and Her Ladyship

died because Zhi Yuan

Even if Yuan invaded Kongsang,

Father and Mother could've waited for my return.

They could've explained themselves

in front of His Majesty.

Why didn't they wait for my return?

Did someone force them to do so?

Did someone force them

to take their own lives?

Tell me!

Tell me!

It's because Zhi Yuan

issued a challenge against Kongsang.

He said

What did he say?

Tell me!

He said he would call off the w*r

if we handed the Crimson Clan princess to him.

If not,

he'd attack Jialan straight.

He'd m*ssacre the cities he conquered.

Xuyao wants to use the Crimson Clan's

honor and reputation

to force you to submit to him.

That's right.

The Crimson Clan

was subjected to public criticism

because of that.

His Lordship and Her Ladyship

had no choice

but to take their own lives

to sever their ties with Zhi Yuan,

appease the people,

and protect the clan.

They were worried

that Zhi Yuan might capture them.

When that happens,

Princess,

you will be restricted.

You'll have no freedom by then.

Mother!

Father!

Mother!

Mother!

Yan'er.

This isn't your fault.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

(Crimson King's Residence)

Father, Mother,

you can head back first.

Once I'm done with revenge,

I'll console you back at home.

I no longer have parents now.

Father and Mother were worried

that I might not get used to

life around here

when they built this residence for me.

That's why they decorated it

just like our home.

However, this isn't Extreme Wind City after all.

The trees of Western Huang

cannot grow here.

Mother and her servants

tried to figure out a solution.

In the end, bay leaves,

pine trees,

and ginkgo trees

started growing here.

Now that Mother is gone,

these trees have withered too.

Their leaves are falling one by one.

These are what my mother

left behind for me.

I cannot let go of the things here.

Yan'er,

I think

your mother requested these leaves

to pay you a visit

as she was afraid

you might be heartbroken.

She hopes that you can continue to live on

just like how the trees of Western Huang

are surviving in this place.

Don't worry.

I won't fall.

I still have plenty of things to accomplish.

Yan'er,

I'll come up with a way

to deal with Xuyao as soon as possible.

You haven't slept for some days.

You should rest early.

(It's salty.)

(It's my tear.)

(I've regained my taste.)

Yan'er,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Maybe I'm just exhausted.

I'll be fine after some rest.

Here.

Yan'er,

promise me.

Don't let your imagination run wild.

(Could it be that Xuyao's spell

is affecting me?)

(Is he going to turn me

into great-great-grandmother?)

Your Majesty,

Prince Shi Ying seeks an audience with you.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Ying.

You're back.

The incident with the Crimson King,

it happened due to my incompetence.

I knew he was a loyal subject.

However, I could only sit idly by

as he sacrificed himself.

I

I cannot escape my responsibility.

Your Majesty, please grant me

authority over your soldiers.

Zhu Yan and I

shall repel the Ice Clan

and uphold justice

for the Crimson King and his consort.

Zhi Yuan

is just a merfolk.

How did he end up

getting involved with the Ice Clan?

The current Zhi Yuan

is no longer the person we knew.

Now, he's just a puppet

under the God of Destruction's control.

What?

The God of Destruction?

Are you referring to

That's right.

It's the God of Destruction,

one of the primordial gods

in Yunhuang.

It's the God of Destruction, Xuyao.

Xuyao has no powers.

However, he's extremely adept

at manipulating people's desires

to turn them into their puppets.

Back then,

he was the one who instigated

Emperor Xingzun.

Emperor Xingzun.

Your Majesty,

back then, Xuyao manipulated

Emperor Xingzun's obsession

toward Empress Bai Wei.

That's how the situation

ended up like this.

So,

we're going against

the God of Destruction now?

Our warriors who returned from

the frontline said

he was immortal.

The Ice Clan army he commanded

looked like they were possessed.

They charged forward

with no hesitations.

That's the effect of Xuyao's

bewitching power

after being enhanced by the Ring of Houtu

and Heavenly Divine Ring.

That's how the soldiers of the Ice Clan

turn into zombies.

Seems like God wants Kongsang

to die here.

Your Majesty,

that's why Zhu Yan and I

have to retrieve the Ring of Houtu

and Heavenly Divine Ring

before Xuyao locates the Sea Emperor.

If not,

Kongsang will not be

the only one in trouble.

The entire Yunhuang

might be jeopardized too.

And now, you're volunteering

to go against him?

Aren't you afraid

of going against a god?

If a god gains pleasure from

the suffering of all living beings,

he doesn't deserve to be worshipped.

Men have never slain gods before.

If so, I shall be the first.

Ying.

You should escape.

If I escape now,

where can all the other beings

escape to?

I won't escape.

Xuyao.

(Crimson King's Residence)

Your Highness.

Young Lady has headed

to the top of White Tower.

She said she would wait there for you.

The top of White Tower? Why?

Maybe Young Lady has something

to tell you, Your Highness.

Yan'er!

Yan'er.

Shi Ying.

You once promised me

that you'd marry me.

Does that promise still count?

Of course.

Good.

If so, you and I should get married right now.

Now,

I no longer have any family members.

Shi Ying,

I want you

to be my only family member

for the rest of my life.

Okay.

(Bowing to the heavens,

with the stars as witnesses.)

(The moon waxes and wanes,)

(while the stars reflect eternity.)

(Bowing to the ancestral hall,

seeking the ancestors' blessings.)

(Bowing to each other.)

Gods above,

I, Shi Ying,

am willing to marry Zhu Yan.

I will love her, protect her,

and support her forever.

Gods above,

I, Zhu Yan,

am willing to marry Shi Ying.

I will respect him, love him,

and never leave his side.

You don't drink usually.

But you should at least

drink during such an occasion.

Of course.

Yan'er,

look.

Those are the Gong and Shang Stars.

These two stars

are reflected in our cups.

Seems like these two stars

are the guests

God has invited to our wedding.

I have no regrets now.

Yan'er,

I'm sorry.

I couldn't fulfill the wish you made

in Extreme Wind City.

I couldn't provide you

with a lively wedding.

Initially, I thought

my friends and family members

would join us

as we celebrated our wedding.

However,

I'm already lucky enough

to hold your hands

in such a chaotic world.

Once the crisis in Kongsang

has been averted,

I'll definitely hold

another wedding ceremony

that you like.

The starry sky

is watching over us.

It's as if we've returned

to the lakeside of Starry Lake.

This is already

the happiest night of my life.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, I finally found you!

His Majesty's condition suddenly

deteriorated yesterday.

The imperial physicians

couldn't do anything about it.

I'm afraid

Your Highness,

please head back and take a look!

Your Highness,

please return to the palace!

Shi Yu.

I

I can't live for long.

I'll leave the kingdom of Kongsang

to you now.

Father!

Don't leave us!

Father!

Ying.

You're here.

I know

that one of the two most important people

in your life

died while harboring a grudge

because of me.

As for the other person,

I couldn't protect her or her clan.

Do you hate me?

Ying.

I've let you down

all this while.

I don't expect you

to forgive me.

But as your father,

I'm begging you.

Please look after Shi Yu.

Please protect Kongsang

and its people.

Do not let

the Menghua Dynasty

be eradicated.

Shi Yu.

As an emperor

or as your father,

I was a failure.

I

I've let you two down.

You two

must

look after each other.

Father,

I'll definitely keep my promise.

Don't worry.

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

(The Menghua Dynasty

will fall eventually.)

(I will lay waste to

the corrupted Jialan)

(and rebuild Yunhuang.)

I will take over the world.

And, I want her to turn into my Yao Yi.

Facing the Ice Clan army

who was resistant

against pain and death,

the soldiers of Kongsang

still fought on valiantly.

Although they tried their best,

they were already exhausted.

And, those were just their vanguards.

More of their soldiers

are on their way here.

Tracing back to its roots,

it's all because of Xuyao's growing power.

However,

right now, our priority is

to ensure Jialan's safety

by breaking free of their encirclement.

We can make other plans after that.

- Yes, Your Highness.

- Yes, Your Highness.

Is there anything we can do?

I brought some help.

Jiuyi Mountain will contribute

to the cause

when the world is in chaos.

Good.

Qing g*ng,

Bai Xuelu,

you two shall be the commander and

vice-commander of this battle.

You two will lead the entire army

and provide reinforcements

to whoever requires it.

- Yes, Your Highness.

- Yes, Your Highness.

Lan Xiqiao,

Zi Yaoguang,

Zi Qianqian,

and Xuan Shuang.

- Yes, Your Highness.

- Yes, Your Highness.

Each of you will lead an army

to battle the Ice Clan army.

Defend your ground.

Do not let them enter the city.

- Yes, Your Highness.

- Yes, Your Highness.

Four Grand Marshals,

please lead

your immortal officials in the battle.

If you encounter any strong opponents,

use the smoke signal.

- Yes, Your Highness.

- Yes, Your Highness.

Our nation is on the brink of destruction.

I shall entrust Kongsang's safety

to you all.

We shall defend the nation

with our lives

and repay the nation.

Yuan.

Yao Yi?

It's you.

Shi Ying,

have you figured out any solutions?

I've been thinking

all this while.

No matter how strong the two divine rings are,

they were forged by Emperor Xingzun.

Qiyao was created by

Emperor Xingzun as well.

We could try fighting fire with fire.

It's worth a shot.

Since when did you turn into Yao Yi?

The day I returned to Ye City,

I saw the bodies

of the Crimson King and his consort.

I was filled with anguish and despair.

I began to hate my identity as Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan is conceited.

In reality, she cannot achieve anything.

She only drags her parents down.

I think that's the reason

the curse in my body was activated.

If that's the case,

you should hate me.

They died because of me.

Naturally, I would hate you

if I was Zhu Yan.

But now,

I'm Yao Yi.

Although I cannot forgive you

for what you've done to Kongsang,

if you can stop what you're doing

and turn over a new leaf

You're using the same trick again.

My spell didn't work at all.

You're still Zhu Yan.

You came to me

so that you could trick me

into achieving your goal.

You're not Yao Yi.

How is it?

Was I right?

How did it go?

I sensed the power

of the Heavenly Divine Ring just now.

However,

there's a stronger power

that's fighting for the ring too.

I think Xuyao activated

the Heavenly Divine Ring's chant.

And then?

I tried my best to resist it.

But I was no match for him.

However,

Xuyao had to expend more energy

in order to control the Heavenly Divine Ring.

I think he cannot use his power,

which was enhanced by both rings,

to bewitch the soldiers for now.

Darned Shi Ying.

How dare he summoned

the Heavenly Divine Ring?

Now, I've lost control over my army.

He has the Emperor's Blood.

He was the original successor

of the Heavenly Divine Ring.

You're still speaking up for him?

I knew you were lying to me.

Of course I'm Yao Yi.

However,

you aren't my Yuan.

Priest of Grand Preceptor,

the Ice Clan army has returned

to their mortal forms.

Seems like my prediction was correct.

The Ice Clan army has returned

to their mortal forms.

Chong Ming,

let's go.

We should use this opportunity

to achieve victory.

But what about Zhu Yan?

Shi Ying,

I know the Qiyao spell

cannot help us to retrieve

the Heavenly Divine Ring.

However, we might be able

to save Zhu Yan with it.

We can't afford to wait any longer.

What if something happens to her?

Shi Ying,

I will assist you.

Let's give it a try.

No.

I cannot go.

Yan'er and I made a promise

to grow old

together.

She'll definitely return to me.

No matter what decision she makes,

I'll give her my full support.

I guess we have no choice then.

What should we do now?

After Jialan breaks free

of its encirclement,

I will bring her back

no matter where she is.

Yao Yi,

I made a deal with Xuyao.

Since you've returned to my side,

I have to bring him to Biluo Sea

and locate the Sea Emperor.

Locate the Sea Emperor?

What happens after that?

Don't tell me

you want to use the two rings

to activate the spell of destruction

and destroy Yunhuang?

Since I've already

made a promise to him,

I should honor my promise.

(This is bad.)

(Seems like Xuyao convinced Yuan

to join him)

(when his obsession with Yao Yi)

(was realized.)

(I have to find a way)

(to steal the rings from him)

(before he brings Xuyao to Biluo Sea.)

I'm doing this for your sake.

For my sake?

I wish to create Neo Yunhuang,

where everyone is equal.

This way, you can fall for a merfolk

without any consequences.

No one will criticize you again.

But before that,

I have to eradicate Yunhuang completely.

I think

you have a point.

Yao Yi,

do you understand my point now?

By then,

we shall rule the world together.

Just like what Xingzun and Bai Wei did

7,000 years ago.

But Yuan,

when you activate

the spell of destruction,

the two divine rings will protect you.

I will be reduced to dust.

You don't need to worry about that.

I will protect you.

However, you know this too.

I'm not willing to become a parasite.

The two divine rings

were worn by Xingzun and Bai Wei respectively.

Now, I shall give you

the Ring of Houtu.

I will also teach you its incantation.

With this, you can protect yourself

during Yunhuang's destruction.

In the future,

you and I will be equal.

We'll be a perfect match.

I will definitely fulfill your wish.

Through my entire life,

no regrets, no remorse.

May these mountains and seas

be boundless and limitless.

Through my entire life,

no regrets, no remorse.

May these mountains and seas

be boundless and limitless.

Look.

Aren't they a perfect match?

Yuan,

the incantation of this ring

sounds so compassionate.

I wonder

what the incantation of

the Heavenly Divine Ring

sounds like.

You will know

during the destruction of Yunhuang.

So,

when do you plan to

locate the Sea Emperor?

I

I think it can wait

until the night of our wedding is over.

All right.

I promise you.

Wu Xian!

The Ice Clan armies have

either surrendered or died.

Your army is annihilated.

You won't be able to escape!

You won't be able to k*ll me off.

The sage gave me this.

Do you think you can still survive

without the Nine-Tailed Core?

Yan'er.

Shi Ying?

You must've waited for a long time.

Follow me.

Yan'er,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Although I took the initiative

to act on my own,

you understood my intention.

I'm very happy.

I've already retrieved

the Ring of Houtu.

He still has the Heavenly Divine Ring.

However,

as long as you can get your hands

on the ring's incantation,

you can wield it.

Just now, I came up with an idea to fish

the Heavenly Divine Ring's incantation

out of him.

Yao Yi.

Yao Yi, where are you?

Shi Ying,

encountering you

was the happiest thing

that had happened to me.

Yan

No.

I mustn't let Yan'er

take the risk alone.

Yao Yi,

where are you?

Yuan.

Yuan.

Yao Yi,

I thought you left me.

(No.)

(Yan'er's power is enhanced

by the Ring of Houtu.)

Yuan,

why would I leave you?

Yuan,

if you're still worried about me,

why don't you complete the spell

you haven't cast

and turn me into Yao Yi completely?

What did you say?

For your sake,

I'm willing to erase

all of my memories as Zhu Yan.

Yan'er!

Don't be silly!

Cast the spell

and turn me into Yao Yi completely.

All right.

I'll cast the spell now.

Through my entire life,

no regrets, no remorse.

May these mountains and seas

be boundless and limitless.

Through my entire life,

no regrets, no remorse.

May these mountains and seas

be boundless and limitless.

Through

my

entire

life

Why isn't it working?

Through my entire life,

no regrets, no remorse.

May these mountains and seas

be boundless and limitless.

Yuan,

the horn of Kongsang

has been sounded!

Hurry up.

Cast the spell and turn me into Yao Yi.

Let's fight off the enemies together.

I shall enter the real state.

I shall enter the real state!

(I shall enter the real state)

Through my entire life

Shapeless and formless.

Shapeless

and formless!

No regrets, no remorse

The millenniums of Yunhuang.

The millenniums of Yunhuang!

May these mountains and seas

Limitless

Limitless

Be boundless and limitless

And free of worries!

(And free of worries)

It's you?

Yan'er.

Are you okay?

I was barely surviving with it.

Shi Ying,

I never expected you

to learn the last part

of the incantation

at the very last moment

he was chanting the incantation.

You lied to me again.

Now, we have both Heavenly Divine Ring

and Ring of Houtu.

Xuyao,

we will never let you harm Yunhuang.

Today

will be our final showdown.

I'm going to k*ll you guys!

You guys can never k*ll me.

I will trap you guys

in this Illusionary Realm forever.

Kongsang will suffer

the same fate as you two.

It will be shrouded by darkness

forever!

Shi Ying!

How is this possible?

Zhi Yuan,

the person you loved was already gone!

How could you break free of my control?

Yuan!

- Yan'er.

- Don't come near me!

Don't.

Just let me perish together with Xuyao.

Yan'er,

you must've suffered.

It's all my fault.

I only managed to sober up

after so long.

I'm sorry.

Yuan!

Yan'er!

Yan

It's Xuyao.

Xuyao has entered your body.

That merfolk

wanted me to leave.

Such wishful thinking.

I'm Xuyao, the God of Destruction.

Zhu Yan,

now,

it's your turn.

Yan'er.

The person I love is

right in front of me.

I have no obsessions.

Don't try to bewitch me.

Yan'er.

But your parents died

because of you.

And,

Shi Ying

already died once

because of your cursed existence.

Yan'er,

that's not your fault.

Do you think your beloved

can stay by your side

for the rest of your life?

Only I am good enough for you.

Yan'er,

don't listen to him!

He's doing this to control you

so that he can

- Yan'er!

- Shi Ying!

No!

Good girl.

This is more like it.

Yan'er!

I'm over here!

Do you still remember?

You were the one who made

the Star Revival Blood Oath

to save my life.

Your parents

will never blame you for this.

No.

I only want them to stay by my side.

The rest must die!

Yan'er!

Yan'er!

It's all my fault.

It's all because

I failed to protect you.

Yan'er,

please remember this.

Encountering you

was the happiest thing

that had happened to me.

Shi Ying.

Shi Ying?

- You are

- Don't come near me!

Shi Ying!

You

This is truly unexpected.

Shi Ying,

did you think you and Zhu Yan

could trap me?

No!

Shi Ying!

No.

I will seal you away with my life.

No!

No, Shi Ying!

Do you think you two

can trap me, Xuyao,

the God of Destruction?

Is that so?

Let's just wait and see!

Shi Ying!

Yan'er!

Shi Ying!

The two divine rings

are mine now.

Zhu Yan,

you two will never be able to k*ll me off.

Yunhuang

and Kongsang,

it's mine now!

Shi Ying!

You!

You two will never be able

to eliminate me.

I'm sure there's another way.

Shi Ying!

Another way?

You two

will never be able to k*ll me off!

Don't come here!

Shi Ying!

Yan'er,

we can definitely get rid of Xuyao

with our powers combined.

Yan'er.

I told you already.

You two will never

be able to k*ll me off!

You!

You're the one who k*lled him!

No.

Shi Ying!

Shi Ying!

What should I do?

What should I do?

Yan'er,

by k*lling me, you'll be helping me.

This way,

I can seal Xuyao

in my body forever.

You two are still as naive as always.

You two can never k*ll me off.

I'm Xuyao.

The both two rings are mine!

Zhu Yan,

will you k*ll Shi Ying once again?

Will you k*ll off the person you love?

Yan'er.

Yan'er.

Do it.

Do it!

I can't!

I

I knew you couldn't do it.

Yan'er.

Yan'er,

do you remember?

As long as you're willing,

you can always make it in time.

You can always achieve it.

Shi Ying!

Zhu Yan,

you're the cursed lady

in Shi Ying's life.

Will you lead him

to his death once again?

Shi Ying!

Shi Ying!

Yan'er,

just do it.

No.

k*ll me.

Do it.

Shi Ying.

Shi Ying!

Zhu Yan.

Why do

Why do we cultivate our powers?

To save the world from danger.

Yan'er,

whenever

the Snowy Rosa blooms,

that means I'm here to visit you.

(One year later)

Your Majesty,

the Azure King and White Queen

seek an audience.

- Greetings, Your Majesty.

- Greetings, Your Majesty.

There are no outsiders here.

Spare the formalities.

What do you need?

I'm here to step down from my position.

I recommend Qing Yi

to be the Azure King.

But why?

All clan leaders

must station themselves

at their territories.

I'm the Azure King

while Bailu is the White Queen.

We never had time

to spend with each other

even after our marriage.

I no longer wish

to continue such a life.

Xuelu is superior to me

in both political affairs and working effort.

If so, I shall fulfill her wish

of reviving Ye City.

All right.

I will approve your request.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.

Luckily, I have you two

as my trusted aides.

If not, I won't be able to deal with

incidents

like the Ice Clan's rebellion

and the God of Destruction's evil plan

one year ago.

I saw Zhu Yan at the entrance just now.

Zhu Yan has been pursuing

the rebels of the Ice Clan

all this while.

Now that the w*r is over,

she can finally take a break.

It's a shame

that the Priest of Grand Preceptor is

I'm sure Ying will watch over her

and Kongsang

in Heaven.

Long,

why don't we visit Father?

Long, have you been a good boy today?

Did you make your mother angry?

Your Majesty, please stop joking around.

It would be terrifying

if our child could speak at this age.

- Am I right?

- Long.

Long, come.

Yong Long is our first child.

It's not surprising even if he can talk

before he's one year old.

So many things have happened

in the past few years.

He's so adorable.

I hope our child can live up to his name.

Long.

May Kongsang prosper

and the Menghua Dynasty last forever.

Look.

Long.

Long.

This is the place

where we first met.

When the wind rises,

it sounds like bells.

When the wind falls,

flowers fall like snow.

But all these beautiful sceneries

are nothing compared to you.

I kept my end of the bargain.

What about you?

You said you would

hold another grand wedding for me.

You said we would travel

Yunhuang together.

You said we would never be apart,

just like the Gong and Shang Stars.

But you didn't even

appear in my dream

in the past year.
