[A Moment But Forever]

[Episode 10]

Our two clans have always been closely connected.

I hope we can join hands this time as well

to stand together through thick and thin.

Rest assured, Sir.

I will certainly report this matter

to the City Lord as soon as possible.

Later,

I will also personally go to Yandu

to meet with the City Lord

and discuss this matter with him.

That'll be great.

Please.

Please.

So it's really someone from the Youhu Clan.

Perfect for consecrating my blade.

Are you alright?

Are you hurt anywhere?

What's going on?

The light fell.

So you're the manager of this ship?

Yes, I am.

Who are you?

This is Xue,

a kitchen maid.

Hey, you—

As the manager,

you should do your job properly.

The mast light is a device for transmitting signals.

It ensures the ship's

safe navigation at night.

It should be kept lit

at all times.

Theoretically, before each trip,

you should check it carefully.

But now?

Look at this.

It looks like it hasn't been maintained for years.

With a ship in this condition,

how dare you carry so many passengers?

Aren't you worried about accidents?

That's right.

She has a point.

You do your job poorly.

Manager Cao,

before we set off,

we checked everything one by one.

We didn't find anything unusual.

Well, if you checked,

how could it fall down?

I truly don't know.

When we were inspecting,

it wasn't just me.

He Liu, Li Lian, and others were all present.

Manager, you can call them all

and question them one by one.

Sir!

Sir,

the High Priest of the Youhu Clan

is also on our ship.

Who?

The High Priest.

What exactly is today?

The Great Priest of the Youhu Clan

and Mr. Tanghua

are both on my ship.

Great.

That's not right.

If they're both on the ship,

why aren't they together?

You're back.

Was dinner sumptuous?

Yuanzhong sent you here?

He wants you to get off at the next stop.

Why?

He said he gets annoyed just by seeing you.

He told you to stop following him.

Mr. Tanghua,

these snacks can't be kept overnight.

You've already eaten.

How about I take them away?

You should leave.

His seal has been removed.

He's very strong.

If you really anger him,

he might beat you up.

I'm just looking out for you.

Is he going to break

the seals of the other weapon spirits?

Then go find the War Demon?

I can help him.

When he does things,

he never needs help from others.

He didn't need it before, and it's the same now.

Don't worry about it.

Mr. Tanghua, I'm leaving.

Yuanzhong.

Did you see him?

Did you say everything I told you to say?

I did.

What did he say?

He didn't say anything.

But his face was twisted with anger.

Will he leave?

I don't know.

Probably not.

Then why did you make me tell him?

Did you

just want me to go and annoy him?

Yuanzhong,

I think Tanghua is a good person.

Even if you insist on doing this,

he didn't commit any major offense, right?

Cowardice is a sin.

But he's not a coward anymore.

He risked his life to perform

the possessing technique.

Wasn't that to

save you?

That's even worse.

Ignorance is one of the Five Sins.

He's so stupid.

Doesn't he deserve to die?

You can say he's ignorant,

or you can say he's kind.

Everything has

two sides, positive and negative.

It just depends on what perspective

you use to understand it.

You're the one who told me this.

Are you trying to debate philosophy with me?

I can't argue with you.

Your evil roots run deep.

I'm just expressing my own opinion.

I am your weapon spirit,

closely connected to you,

sharing the same fate.

No matter what you do,

I have to support you.

You sound reluctant.

What is this thing?

Grudge Bird.

Grudge Bird?

Isn't it born from blood and resentment?

Why would it attack you?

Yuanzhong,

you're still having bad luck?

This Ji Tanyin,

what's her background anyway?

Twice.

He killed you twice.

And you just forgave him like that?

Yes,

didn't I already say this?

He was kind to people on the ship,

always willing to help others.

That proves I wasn't wrong about him.

He deserves me to

continue fulfilling my promise.

Moreover,

Yuanzhong suspected me

for a reason.

I'm immortal,

with a constitution similar to the War Demon.

He thought I was his enemy,

so he attacked me.

There's no problem with that.

And as a god,

I should be magnanimous and forgiving.

Don't you agree?

Right.

No, not right.

I just want to ask

if he's still

alive now?

He's still alive and well now.

Why should he die?

He killed a god.

You are a fifth-rank true god

bestowed by heaven.

Killing you is a violation of the heavenly way.

He must face divine punishment.

From now on, in this world,

there will be no place for him to exist in,

until the laws of heaven

completely erase him.

No wonder his luck has been so bad lately.

I was thinking

of making a luck-turning device

to protect him.

But wait,

I've already forgiven him.

Why is the heavenly way

still not letting him go?

Did you tell him face to face

in person

that you forgive him?

No.

That's why it's useless!

This kind of forgiveness is not accepted.

You must tell him in person.

[Invitation]

It's my honor for the High Priest

to board this ship.

I have specially prepared a banquet

to welcome you.

I hope you can come.

Did you invite Tanghua as well?

Yes, I did.

If you don't want him,

I can also…

It's fine.

It's just having a meal together.

The more, the merrier.

Let's go.

High Priest, please.

Tanyin!

Oh, you.

Next time you go out, let me know.

Otherwise, if we're both seen together,

that would be terrible.

I got it.

Are you looking for someone?

Do you know Mr. Yuan?

Yes.

But it seems he's gone out.

The master is welcoming him

in the Qinglong Hall tonight.

He should have gone to attend the banquet.

The master specifically ordered guards

to stand guard outside the door.

He probably doesn't want to be disturbed.

Tanyin,

what do you want to go in for?

I just need to go in and say one thing.

Can't it wait until the banquet is over

to say it then?

Come with me.

Who could the master

be entertaining?

Even the Jiaoli wine gifted by the City Lord

has been brought out.

They're even performing the Yunmen dance.

Do you know who it is?

Isn't that a dance of worship?

Why are you here?

I came to see

if there's anything I can help with.

Why are you everywhere?

Alright,

we might be short-handed when serving

the dishes and wine later.

Come over and wait here first.

Such a strong aura of death.

[Qinglong Hall]

We humans have a saying,

"Isn't it a joy to have friends

come from afar?"

The High Priest and Mr. Tanghua

are the most honored guests of the human race.

To have both of you aboard today

is truly a blessing of three lifetimes.

I, Shen, have been extremely anxious these past few days,

fearing that my hospitality might be inadequate.

If there's any negligence,

I hope both of you will be forgiving.

You're too kind, Mr. Shen.

This ship of yours is excellently built.

I quite like it.

Since the High Priest likes it,

my life has not been in vain.

Yesterday, when Mr. Tanghua told me

about the War Demon incident,

I was both angry and afraid.

I couldn't sleep all night.

In five more days,

this ship will reach Yandu directly.

At that time, I will certainly

report this matter truthfully to the City Lord.

High Priest,

what is the destination

of your journey?

Is it Yandu?

No.

Then Mr. Tanghua,

you're going to Yandu with me, right?

I'm not going anymore.

Why not?

Someone is forcing me off the ship.

I can't go anymore.

This is the human race's

homemade Jiaoli wine.

It can't be compared

to the fine wines

of the Youhu Clan,

but it has its own unique flavor.

Please, both of you, have a taste.

High Priest, please.

Mr. Tanghua.

The High Priest hasn't left

the mountain in many years.

This time, you've come down to travel.

Where are you going?

Mr. Shen,

are you trying to inquire about my whereabouts?

I wouldn't dare.

Actually,

I don't know where I'm going either.

I got bored staying on the mountain

and there were people I didn't want to see.

So I thought I'd come down and travel around.

But who would have thought that after coming down the mountain,

I still can't avoid them?

What's that phrase again?

Right, "Lingering like a ghost."

But nine out of 10 things in life

are disappointments.

No one can have smooth sailing all the time.

Ups and downs, annoyances and bad luck...

This is the normal state of life.

I've come to terms with it.

You are humorous.

Why don't I call for some music and dancing?

My ship

happens to have a few top-class performers.

Their dancing and singing

are all excellent.

Dancing?

Mr. Tanghua is also very skilled at it.

Why don't we have him do a dance?

Well...

That's not quite appropriate, is it?

What's wrong with that?

Actually, it's not just Mr. Tanghua.

We of the Youhu Clan

are also very skilled at brewing wine by scent,

and entertaining with song and dance.

Although I haven't done it for many years,

I can still occasionally

perform a piece.

High Priest, you are really talented.

Do you have a Go board?

Yes, we do.

Then how about this?

I'll play a game of Go with Mr. Tanghua.

Whoever loses

will perform a dance

to entertain you.

Consider it payment for your wine.

Alright.

There are no set rules.

No need to be modest either.

If you manage to surround me,

it means my skills are lacking.

But if I accidentally slaughter you,

we'll just have to chalk it up to your bad luck.

Don't be like when you were little,

crying when you lost a game

and tattling on me to everyone.

Mr. Tanghua,

do you dare?

Why wouldn't I dare?

It's almost time.

Move quickly. Follow me.

Hurry.

What's inside?

Can I take a look?

You left before I finished speaking.

You're so rude.

Such a sharp weapon.

Oh no.

You're in too deep now.

If you don't make a killing move,

you will be

the one who dies.

What does this mean?

Don't you want to conquer territory?

I'll let you have it.

How sincere of you.

Unfortunately, I don't care for

what you're offering.

I've been yielding repeatedly because I wanted to.

If I didn't want to,

it would be like metal clashing against stone,

jade shattering everywhere.

You've actually won.

Precise calculations,

decisive in attack.

Tanghua,

it's been years since we've faced each other.

Your chess skills have improved.

What's the use of winning?

You still saw right through me,

using me completely.

Occasional gains and losses aren't worth mentioning.

Haven't I also had

times when I lost to you?

But I've never seen you as an opponent.

Good game.

What a great game indeed.

The choices made, the gains and losses

were mysterious

and absolutely brilliant.

I accept my loss.

I've watched you all

perform the dance of worship year after year

but never had the chance to try it myself.

Mr. Shen,

bring me a dance costume.

I'll perform a dance for everyone today

to liven things up.

That's wonderful!

We are truly fortunate

to be able to see

the dance skills of the High Priest.

Who was she?

How did she see through me?

Have you heard?

The Great Priest of the Youhu Clan is inside.

The Great Priest of the Youhu Clan?

Isn't it Mr. Tanghua?

It's the High Priest.

I heard it from the handmaiden inside.

No wonder they want us to perform the Yunmen dance.

The High Priest is a god.

Of course they want to see the dance of worship.

High Priest.

No wonder.

You can go in now.

Let's go, go in.

Stop. You can't go in.

But I have something to do.

It doesn't matter what you have to do.

The master is entertaining important guests.

Don't cause trouble.

Which one is it?

Find her quickly.

Don't let her escape.

What are you doing?

Be careful!

Yuanzhong!

Hurry, get a doctor!

Hurry, get a doctor!

Yes, go!

How could this be?

This weapon is strange.

My magical power has no effect at all.

Quickly, use the Divine Left Hand!

Counter this evil energy!

Hurry, activate the Divine Hand to save yourself!

The Divine Hand seems to have no effect anymore.

Dr. Sun, please hurry!

Come, this way.

Sir, the doctor is here.

Hurry, hurry!

He got food poisoning.

I had a hard time finding...

Save him quickly!

Hurry!

Where's your medicine?

I don't know either.

♫Time never defeats the fleeting world♫

I just checked the medicine box at noon.

How did it end up like this?

♫Stars turn, shining upon the passing traveler♫

Go away.

Yuanzhong.

♫The wind rises, flowers fall and bloom again♫

Yuanzhong, Yuanzhong!

Yuanzhong, wake up quickly!

♫Awaiting what’s lost to be regained♫

I don't blame you anymore.

I forgive you.

The High Priest lost too much blood.

♫These countless virtues and joys♫

He seems to have passed out.

This kind of forgiveness is not accepted.

♫Dusk and dawn, only you make parting hard♫

You must tell him in person.

♫I'm willing to risk my life for this♫

♫Wind chimes beat with my heart♫

♫Harmonizing, can you recognize it?♫

Yuanzhong, don't sleep.

Listen to me.

I forgive you.

♫Fingertips tracing your outline♫

I don't blame you anymore.

♫I wish to see through you♫

Ji Tanyin.

♫Whether near or far♫

♫We can still gaze upon the same galaxy♫

I said, I forgive him!

♫Knowing we've never been apart for a moment♫

♫If our promise♫

♫Is to share this land and rivers♫

♫If fate leads us astray♫

♫Life and death become our bond♫

♫Storms heal with time♫

♫Memories will shine in the end♫

♫That very first heartbeat, I will remember until the last♫

♫That very first heartbeat, I will remember until the last♫

You're awake.

Where's Zi Fei?

Outside.

Zi Fei.

Zi—

Don't move around.

The assassin's weapon is quite strange.

Even with your Divine Left Hand,

you haven't fully recovered.

Yuanzhong.

Where's the assassin?

We couldn't catch him. He jumped off the ship and escaped.

It was a War Demon.

His skills were impressive.

Go.

Bring Ji Tanyin to me.

Ji Tanyin?

She goes by Xue now.

How do you know

the High Priest of Youhu Clan?

And why did you

say those words to him just now?

Our master is asking you a question.

I can't tell you.

This—

How dare you!

Don't scold me.

Cursing me will bring divine punishment.

I'm doing this for both of your sakes.

You—

Mr. Shen,

the High Priest asked me to look for someone.

Her name is Xue.

The War Demon actually has

a weapon that can counter you.

This matter is too important.

I must send a message back to our clan immediately

to urge the War Division to intensify the search

for traces of the War Demon.

Also,

I believe this matter is related to the human race.

I need to go to Yandu City

to meet with the City Lord of Yandu.

You should rest well first.

It's important to recover from your injuries.

Tanghua.

We are no longer friends.

Why not?

Don't you know why?

Because back then,

I concealed the fact that your parents had died.

At that time, the war was at a stalemate.

The War Demon chief had developed

the perfect War Demon body.

He led a large group of elites to attack.

The human race was wavering.

Our clan's rear was vulnerable.

Under attack from both front and rear,

how could I distract you at that time?

The deaths of your parents and sister

were accidents.

I had intended to...

To tell you afterwards.

But you were injured

and I was sent away by Dingxu.

I never imagined they would

seal you.

Yuanzhong,

I deeply regret it.

These years haven't been easy for me either.

Tanghua,

have you ever seen the sky from inside a well?

It's only as big as a palm.

There's no sun, moon, or stars in it.

It's empty and void.

There's nothing there.

I looked at it for 40 years.

My heart has become closed too.

No matter how many reasons you have,

I can't accept them.

I treated you as a brother,

but under the excuse of

doing what's best for me,

you helped them deceive me,

causing me to not see daylight for 40 years,

enduring all kinds of humiliation.

What makes you think

I would understand you?

Spilt water cannot be gathered up.

Why force the impossible?

Next.

No, I'll go first.

Yuan.

Stop crying.

It's embarrassing.

Yuan.

Alright.

If I succeed,

I'll treat you to the best food and drink in the future.

If I die and you're still alive,

remember to take good care of

my parents and sister for me.

No, no.

Don't.

I'll do it myself.

You're too late.

I met someone I dislike.

I remembered something unpleasant.

I'm in a bad mood.

Come here.

W-Why?

Why?

My hair is messy.

Comb my hair for me.

Your name is Xue, right?

I used to have a handmaiden

who was similar to you.

She was skilled in craftsmanship.

Her handiwork was superb.

The things she made were exquisitely crafted.

Even the master craftsmen of the human race

couldn't match her skills.

Unfortunately, she wasn't very bright.

She always liked to say

illogical things.

She also always liked

to find ways to get close to me.

I couldn't drive her away,

nor could I shake her off.

Aren't you curious?

C-Curious about what?

I said you're very similar to her.

Aren't you curious about how you're similar?

Well, you see,

I have one good quality.

I'm not very curious.

I don't really want to know about other people's business.

What a shame, then.

I happen to be in the mood to talk right now,

even if you don't want to know.

You're just like her.

Your background is strange,

and your methods are strange too.

Most importantly,

I can't see through you clearly.

I'm unable to guess

or understand.

Y-Yuanzhong.

Ji Tanyin.

You really are hard to kill.

I don't understand.

As a War Demon,

why do you repeatedly

sabotage your own people's plans?

What are you really after?

I'm not a War Demon.

You think I'd

believe your lies?

I'm telling the truth.

I hate being lied to the most.

I'm not lying.

What are you doing?

I'm going to verify it.

That person failed.

He was forced to jump off the ship.

He's definitely dead.

With all this commotion,

security has been increased throughout the ship.

This is very unfavorable for us.

We can't worry about that now.

Tomorrow, the ship

will dock at Tianfang City.

It has a major port,

with a military garrison stationed there.

It will be even harder for us to make our move.

Tonight

is our last chance.

Have you all memorized the locations

for placing the fire bombs?

Yes.

Most of the Shen family's ship workers are in the lower cabins.

In two more hours,

it will be their mealtime.

As long as we guard this exit

and use fire bombs to blast the cabin doors,

we can suffocate them inside.

Yes.

This is where the officials and nobles reside.

Most of them have guards with them.

Once the signal is given,

attack this area first.

Yes.

Our target is the Spirit-Gathering Cabin.

This is where the ship's power source is located.

It's heavily guarded.

If we destroy this place,

even a god

won't be able to save them.

Understood.

Men, we are not

bandits who kill indiscriminately.

We are fighting for the future of the human race.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Break things down to rebuild them.

Future generations will give us

a fair evaluation.

No regrets, even in death.

No regrets, even in death.

No regrets, even in death.

Come on, let's drink until we're drunk!

I'm not a War Demon.

Then how do you explain this?

There's nothing to explain.

Besides, in this world,

it's not only War Demons

who have this kind of constitution.

You don't know simply because

you're ignorant, that's all.

I'm ignorant?

You're not going to say you're a god, are you?

Anyway,

I'm not a bad person.

I won't harm you either.

I know you don't believe me,

but I still have to stay by your side.

Even if you don't allow it,

I will still follow you.

Ji Tanyin,

are you...

The Spirit-Gathering Cabin has been bombed!

Kill them!

Watch out!

Sir! Sir!

What happened?

A group of bandits bombed the Spirit-Gathering Cabin.

Our ship

is now low on power.

Don't panic, sir.

We still have another Spirit-Gathering Cabin.

Quickly, stop them!

No matter what,

we must protect that Spirit-Gathering Cabin.

Otherwise, if the ship sinks,

we'll all fall to our deaths.

Yes. Hurry!

Let's go, quickly!

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

The smell of blood is so strong.

Grudge Bird!

Go!

Yes!

Don't catch me!

Oh my god, I'm done for!

Tanyin!

Run to the cabin quickly!

Okay!

Yuanzhong, save them!

Get to the cabin! Get to the cabin!

Get to the cabin!

Don't catch me!

Get to the cabin!

Get to the cabin!

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Thank you.

Heaven is truly on my side.

Yuanzhong, quickly stop them!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Save me!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help...

Don't come any closer.

I know you're powerful,

but you can't stop me.

If you blow this place up, you'll die too!

I boarded this ship

with no intention of leaving alive.

What are you doing?

Stop right there!

What a magnificent ship!

This is all the work

of our human craftsmen.

If we continue to develop,

our race will eventually surpass the immortal race.

We will no longer have to

live at the mercy of others.

But I truly don't understand

why you insist on cutting off your own lifeline

by switching to spirit stones for power.

Who exactly are you?

Who am I?

Shen Ying, Mr. Shen,

we've met before.

Back then, you were full of vigor

when you took over the family's ship business.

I even drank at your wedding banquet

held at the Dengyun Tower.

You're a master craftsman?

I've once participated in the building

of half the Shen family's ships.

But unfortunately,

you abandoned the craftsmanship

and switched to the immortal race's crystals.

Those ships that once flew through the sky and burrowed underground,

making the entire world look at our human race

with newfound respect,

have all been reduced to ashes.

In the war between gods and demons,

the majority of those

who died were human civilians.

When the War Demons and Youhu Clan went to war,

it was still us who suffered the most casualties.

Just because we are physically weak,

have short lifespans,

and most of us lack talent for cultivation,

we are like wild weeds in the field.

We are the easiest to grow

and the easiest to be destroyed.

But we

are not completely useless.

We have Goddess Wushuang.

We have our craftsmanship.

It was she who gave us

a new path to survival,

allowing us, with our frail bodies,

to harness the power to move mountains and seas.

We can protect ourselves,

we can defend against enemies,

we can live with dignity.

But you all...

You've abandoned this path.

Why?

Why?

We haven't abandoned craftsmanship.

This is just...

A temporary measure.

At this time,

you still want to deceive me?

Don't be rash.

Don't come any closer!

You're cutting off your own path to survival,

handing over the great situation

created by our predecessors.

This is betrayal!
