ADAPTED FROM DEMON KING
OF JINJIANG LITERATURE CITY

ORIGINAL WORK BY JIULU FEIXIANG

Hao.

I…

What have I done?

Hao.

What have I done?

What have I done?

Master.

What's wrong, my old friend?

You don't seem very satisfied.

What happened to my master?

She is alive

and at your side, isn't she?

And the way she is now

is what you asked me for, isn't it?

Nonsense!

Thirty thousand years ago,

didn't you beg me to use evil qi

to amass the wisp of her primordial spirit

and send her
to the Mortal World for tribulations?

Those tainted with evil qi
change drastically.

Haven't you seen it
with your own eyes before?

But why are others tainted with evil qi

only temporarily bloodthirsty?

No one was ever like my master,

so pained, insane,

and endlessly thirsting for evil qi.

Her primordial spirit has been nourished
by evil qi for 30,000 years

and has long
since been thoroughly corroded.

If she wants to keep living,

she has to keep absorbing evil qi

until her primordial spirit
is completely taken over by it.

She will lose her power,

memories,

and consciousness,

ultimately becoming a k*lling monster

that is no better than beasts and demons.

How can that be?

It was you.

I've already helped you find the goddess

and break the seal.

I did everything you asked of me!

But why did you break your promise

and harmed my master to this point?

Do not rush, old friend.

There is one last step

before I have delivered on my promise.

What is it?

After I take your master's immortal body

and merge with her primordial spirit,

she will be free.

If your primordial spirit
occupies my master's immortal body,

my master would become

a senseless puppet!

Do you think of me
as a mere primordial spirit?

You underestimate me.

I am Taisui, the ancient Evil God.

I'm unlike any living being
in the three realms.

In other words,

I'm not any ordinary living creature.

Then what are you?

I have told you before.

I am the darkest desires and fantasies

at the bottom of every person's heart.

I was born in the hearts
of all beings in the three realms.

Naturally, I also exist
in your master's heart.

Even if I merge with her,

she would still be Lady Chidi.

She will still remember
her entire past with you,

but she won't be in such pain anymore.

She can live in seclusion with you,

play the zither, and practice swords.

No.

I will never trust you again.

You will.

Because you don't have any other choice.

In the past,

I often combed your hair.

Your black hair is fine as silk.

It's as if you will never grow old.

Hao.

k*ll me.

Master, do you remember?

I once made a mistake when I was young.

And you didn't punish me.

Instead, you--

Hao, let me die.

End my suffering.

I don't want to live like this anymore.

Master.

I've thought it through.

From now on,

I will help you

refine the evil qi every day.

Anyway,

that is what I've done every day

for the past 30,000 years.

It's easy.

Right?

Have you made up your mind,

Ronghao?

If you take over Master's immortal body

and merge with her primordial spirit,

will she no longer be in pain?

That's right.

And I get to stay by her side.

Forever.

That's right.

You will never be

separated from her again.

You had better not break your promise.

I never break my promises.

Hao,

it's time.

Master.

Taisui will find this place soon.

From now on,

you will never be in pain.

Hao, what are you going to do?

As long as Taisui merges
with your primordial spirit

and occupies your immortal body,

you will be free.

You will no longer suffer

and you will never leave me again.

No.

Your earthly desires are too fervent.

That's why you were bewitched by Taisui

and couldn't see
that fate is predetermined.

I beg of you.

Don't make more mistakes.

I was originally a mortal.

My earthly desires can never be erased.

I don't understand fate

nor do I want to.

Hao.

Your spiritual wisdom is unparalleled.

You were born a high god.

You only care about the three realms

and don't understand what I am thinking.

I merely had a tiny earthly desire.

It was a wish for you to be alive.

As long as you can live,

I am willing to do anything.

Why is it that

not even destroying heaven and earth

can fulfill such a small and simple wish?

Hao.

I once had an earthly desire.

This guest has been sitting
by the window for three days.

Yes.

It's freezing outside.

That blind boy outside
might not survive the day.

-Don't die at our door. That's unlucky.
-Let's go.

But you still had a kind heart.

You saved me on that wintry day.

I asked Lady Arbiter

to teach me how to resurrect the dead.

The dead cannot be brought back to life.

This is an immutable law.

If you must resurrect the dead,

it is bound to bring disaster.

Even if you are a high god,

you are no exception.

High God Chidi,

have you

really made up your mind?

Yes.

Please help me.

Whatever the price is,

I will pay for it.

What if the price consigns you

to eternal damnation one day?

Will you regret it?

Did you have an earthly desire

for my sake?

Yes.

It was for you.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

Didn't we agree on this?

From now on,

my master will no longer be in pain.

You have already planned all this.

How dare you deceive me?

That's right.

I lured you here

so that I can blow up my primordial spirit

and take you out with me.

Ronghao!

This is the last step left.

Then I can be with my master forever,

never to be parted again.

You overestimate yourself.

I am indestructible.

Back in the day, the first goddess, Wuqi,

blew up her primordial spirit

and only managed to seal me.

To think a mere nobody

is trying to take me out with him!

Master.

I'm sorry.

It's Taisui.

He seems furious.

Ronghao,

now that you are buried with your master,

you got your wish.

From now on,

every time I visit you,

I'll bring you some wine.

Chidi,

you were my only worthy opponent.

It's a pity that we won't fight again.

Taisui has appeared

and is wreaking havoc everywhere.

Changheng,

what we have to do

can't be delayed any longer.

The Magical Firefly Stone.

Goddess,

you are very knowledgeable.

I once had a thought.

It would be nice if I could pluck a star

and carry it as a lantern at night.

At that time,

a friend told me

that this kind of Spirit Jade
in the Northernmost Ocean

is just like a star.

So are you Goddess Xiyun

or Orchid?

I am Goddess Xiyun

and also Orchid.

I remember everything

in my two lives.

Since you remember everything,

why…

Could it be

that you no longer love him?

Or is it that

you love me?

You still love him.

Then

why did you agree to marry me?

The creator, Lord Dong,

once made a covenant with the Xilan Tribe.

Only marriage between the two tribes

can activate the godly power.

As a result,

the two tribes have protected
the three realms for generations.

That is why we were betrothed.

This is a duty that we cannot shirk.

Now that Taisui has escaped from his seal,

the three realms are in imminent peril.

I need to attain supreme godly power

to destroy him once and for all.

Whether you like it or not,

this is the only way.

And afterward?

What do you mean?

Goddess Wuqi drained her primordial spirit

and died trying to annihilate Taisui.

If you try to destroy Taisui completely,

what will be the consequence?

Why do you pretend to know nothing

and refuse to reunite
with Dongfang Qingcang?

You will die,

won't you?

Yes.

You and Dongfang Qingcang love each other.

You would rather lie to him

than let him suffer another ounce of pain.

But what about me?

How can you…

How can you make me marry you

and then send you off to die?

Have you considered my feelings?

Changheng.

I'm sorry.

I don't need an apology.

You know an apology isn't what I want.

Are you also going to tell me

that you don't have a choice?

No.

I have chosen

to be the Goddess of Xishan.

From the moment I came back to life,

I chose to let go of all personal feelings

and accept the duty
of protecting all living beings.

Changheng,

you are the only one who can help me.

But it is your life
that you're asking me to sacrifice.

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

Changheng,

you must help me.

Aside from Chidi,

Dongfang Qingcang is the only one

whose body is compatible with Taisui.

Now that Chidi is dead,

I'm afraid his next target

is Dongfang Qingcang.

Yes.

Are you really going to sacrifice yourself

to protect him?

I love all living beings.

And I love one person.

Goddess.

What is it?

Don't worry.

I understand now.

You are not Orchid.

Orchid is already

truly gone.

Your wedding with Changheng is tomorrow.

I won't bother you again in the future.

But before I leave Xishan,

I want to ask you

for one last favor.

This Lovesickness Bridge

was where Orchid and I pledged our love.

Why did you bring me here?

ORCHID

Legend has it

that if two people hang a Love Lock
on the Lovesickness Bridge,

they can be together

for eternity.

That night,

we were going to hang this lock.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to.

So I hope you don't mind me asking you

to hang this lock with me.

This way--

She is no longer here.

She can't be with you.

I see no need to hang the lock.

There is.

Although she is gone,

I will never forget her.

ORCHID

I will guard the memories
of the two of us.

That is also a way of being together.

You have a long life ahead of you.

There are countless beauties

in the three realms.

Is there no one else

to your liking?

No.

There never will be.

Not in this lifetime

or any lifetime to come.

She is the only one.

She is but an orchid.

Why can't you forget her?

You don't understand.

You will never understand

the feelings between us.

In this world,

everyone hates me,

fears me,

relies on me,

and admires me.

She was the only one

who loved me.

She helped me through the difficulties.

She helped me repair my root of emotion.

Even if she made an enemy of the world,

she would follow me.

And I…

I was full of thorns.

I only made her sad.

I'm a jerk.

But she

is a fool.

She knew how wicked I was,

but she made every excuse to forgive me

and hold me tight

even if it hurt.

How I want her to know

that I'm not that jerk anymore.

I will love her,

protect her,

and not let her suffer anymore.

But I don't have that chance anymore.

Stop talking.

I…

I shouldn't have asked you to come.

Although you look like her,

you are not her.

I can hang the lock myself.

She will always be in my heart.

She and I

will never be apart.

ORCHID

Now you will never know

that I'm not that wicked anymore.

The Bone Orchid was consuming
your primordial spirit.

The only way to break the Bone Orchid

and save your life

was to make you stop loving me.

That is why I deliberately lied to you

and humiliated you.

It was to make you stop loving me.

Why did you still love me

up to the moment you died?

I've stayed long enough.

I should return to the Cangyan Sea.

I wish you a blissful marriage.

Goodbye.

Wait.

Is there anything else?

Look.

You look good when you smile like this.

Like this.

Do you remember?

Remember?

Smile.

It's you.

Who are you?

Why?

Take this.

A Destiny Book.

This is Orchid's Destiny Book.

When the Xilan Tribe was massacred,

her tribesmen sealed her into a seed

and entrusted her to me.

However,

I was only able
to disguise her as an orchid.

But I was unable to reshape her fate.

A new fate has sprouted

in her Destiny Book.

But she clearly told me

the fate of high gods is the most stable.

It does not change easily.

Her fate is severed.

She intends to die with Taisui.

At the end of the end,

the one who can change the fate for her

is you,

Dongfang Qingcang.

I understand.

I will do anything

to revive her.

No.

You don't understand yet.

The end of the end.

So this is the real end.

My lord.

It's time to go.

For her,

I will alter fate.

My lord.

The auspicious hour is upon us.
