[A Moment But Forever]

[Episode 33]

Barrier?

Someone is coming.

Open the barrier.

Let them in.

Listen to me.

Go and take a look.

Yuanzhong?

Tanghua?

After we left Yandu,

we came to find you.

How did you find us?

We heard news of you from the human race.

Zhi Dai brought us here.

Dingxu is not dead.

I guess he's lucky.

You killed Baili Xiang

and were then rescued.

He must have been scared out of his wits

and fled back to Fangwai Mountain overnight.

I've already sent Jiuguang and some others back

to keep watch.

If anything happens,

I'll know.

And what about the War Demons?

That day, I passed out from exhaustion

and was captured.

I don't know where they went.

But I doubt

they'd give up so easily.

They'll definitely try to keep hunting you down while you're still badly injured.

Didn't you encounter them

on your way here?

We encountered them once.

I dumped them.

Miss Ji, you really have remarkable skills.

In the blink of an eye, you tossed Yandu

to the Chili Mountain area,

which is hundreds of miles away.

With such godlike skills,

a few War Demons

were naturally no big deal to you.

That's not a problem.

With our abilities,

even if the three races join forces again to attack us,

we can hold them off.

But that goddess...

Why did she want to kill you?

Will she come again?

Will she send others to come this time,

or will she do it on her own?

Have you thought about these things?

No need to think too much.

If she comes again,

I'll face her head-on.

Plenty of people want me dead.

A god like her won't make a difference.

You have guts.

I haven't thanked you yet.

That day, you appeared like a warrior descended from heaven,

with extraordinary combat prowess.

Even your chief

was no match for you.

After your enlightenment,

you must have already

reached the stage of the Perfect War Demon, right?

No need to thank me.

I wasn't doing it for you.

Curly, we haven't seen each other in years.

Aren't you happy to see an old friend?

Who's your old friend?

I don't make friends

with a crybaby.

Who's a crybaby?

They're not

all going to stay here, are they?

There aren't enough rooms

or blankets here.

And there's a War Demon.

I can't see War Demons.

I'll break out in rashes

if I see them.

We'll leave soon.

Yandu still

needs Zhi Dai to return

to take charge of the situation.

And I have to hurry back to Fangwai Mountain.

Now that I see you're safe,

I'm relieved.

There's no rush to leave.

At least tomorrow,

you can have a drink at our wedding

before you go.

That's not a problem.

With our abilities,

even if the three races join forces again to attack us,

we can hold them off.

But that goddess...

Why did she want to kill you?

What is it?

Are you really going to marry him?

Do you even like him?

Forget it.

I already know the answer.

But about that matter,

do you have an answer now?

What matter?

Yuanzhong.

Did he really fall into demonic ways?

Was the goddess in the clouds

trying to kill him because he has

fallen into demonic ways?

Since you don't trust him so much,

why did you help him?

Well, there's no conclusion yet, right?

If he had died like that,

you would have definitely been heartbroken.

I can assure you

that Yuanzhong has definitely not fallen into demonic ways.

What happened before

must have been a misunderstanding.

Perhaps

he was lost for a while,

but he came to his senses

just before going too far.

As for that goddess in the clouds…

I know.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of it.

That's good.

By the way,

there's something

I want to ask you.

What is it?

On the journey recently,

have you encountered

any strange people or events?

Why do you ask that?

I just feel that Miss Zhi Dai

is a little off.

Even the way she looked at me

was a bit strange.

What's so strange about that?

In the blink of an eye,

you tossed Yandu City to the mountains

hundreds of miles away.

Such a magical skill

is godlike.

Now,

people are saying that you are also a god.

She is just an ordinary person.

Seeing you,

she would naturally be scared.

Have you made up your mind?

Where are you?

Come out!

I'm a god.

Gods are everywhere.

You're not a god. You're a devil!

It seems you still can't

make up your mind.

What? Are you really not afraid?

He has fallen in love with you.

But do you think

that if he sees you old,

with white hair and wrinkled skin,

he would still love you the same?

I will never let you control me.

How foolish.

You think you can fight against me?

I'd rather die

than let you get your way!

Actually, what Dingxu said that day

wasn't entirely a lie.

I know.

Then why did you help me?

What's the big deal

about wanting to destroy this world?

During the years

you were locked under Tianqu Peak,

I thought about it

many times every day.

Sometimes I wanted to set a fire

and burn down Fangwai Mountain,

and sometimes I wanted to poison Dingxu,

then skin him, tear out his bones,

and throw him out of the mountain gate.

But they were just thoughts.

In this world, we judge a person

based on their actions, not their thoughts.

If just having bad thoughts

would lead to judgment,

none of us would be alive.

But what if I really do that?

I've told myself

that in this life,

I can only let you down once.

Do you know who Ji Tanyin is?

That day, when she came to save you,

she threw Yandu hundreds of miles away

in the blink of an eye.

Some say

she has divine magic that can move mountains and seas,

while some say Yandu

is just a giant Linglong House.

Ji Tanyin is a top-tier craftsman.

She might even be

the creator of Yandu.

No matter what,

she's definitely not

an ordinary person.

You want to marry her?

Do you really know her?

I don't need to know her.

I just need to know

that she loves me,

and that's enough.

Tanghua,

do you know

what the first thought

that flashed through my mind was

when I woke up that day?

What was it?

I was glad that I didn't stand by

and watch Chiyi and Xiazhi die.

Why?

When I woke up,

Tanyin was right by my side.

Looking at her,

I quickly replayed my life

in my mind.

Then I felt relieved.

I told myself

that I was lucky.

Luckily, I had

a crazy plan.

Luckily, I once thought about

bringing the whole world to the grave.

Luckily, I didn't kill anyone prematurely.

I stopped

before I committed

any unforgivable sins.

If I had really been covered in blood,

with sins all over me,

she wouldn't have fallen in love with me.

And she wouldn't have stayed by my side.

I'm so lucky.

Thank goodness.

I didn't expect it.

Who would have expected it?

That day, when I was at the end

of my rope on the street of Yandu,

she descended from the sky.

At that moment,

I suddenly realized

that she was the gift

given to me by heaven.

It was precisely because she was so precious

that heaven made me

go through so many trials.

Fortunately, I made it through.

So,

I must keep her.

No one can

take her away from me.

No one.

Alright.

Just get married to Miss Ji

and live a good life.

Live a comfortable and happy life!

And get back all the grievances

you've suffered these years from that damn heaven.

No one

can disturb your good life.

Not Dingxu,

not the War Demons,

and not even the gods in heaven.

Whoever tries to make trouble for you,

I'll fight them with my life.

Then you'd better practice.

I don't think

you can even beat Qian Lin now.

Don't mention that strange brat.

Let me tell you.

How many years have I practiced?

How old is that brat?

Just because he's a War Demon,

I can't beat him.

Why?

Don't worry.

Sooner or later...

Sooner or later, I'll beat him up.

Beat him up...

Someone asked me to bring you a message.

She said

you would be able to tell

if it's a lie.

That person said

Ji Tanyin is not an ordinary person;

she is a goddess.

You know?

She is Goddess Wushuang,

the creator of the Divine Left Hand.

He once trained two students

with high reputations.

One of them is Goddess Wushuang,

who has ascended and is now a god.

Just treat me as

a god's image hanging on the wall.

I can always bless you

and bring you good luck.

She came to your side

to take the Divine Left Hand from you

and return it to the supreme god of the Divine Realm,

Deity Taihe.

I will stay by your side,

until the moment you die.

You must not leave me.

Don't ask about my past.

Absolutely, absolutely

do not fall in love with me.

High Priest Yuanzhong,

she came to your side

to wait for your death.

She doesn't love you.

I saw your future.

By then,

you will have white hair but a youthful face,

surrounded by your children and grandchildren.

♫ Time never defeats the fleeting world ♫

You will be full of kindness and ease,

♫ Stars turn, shining upon the passing traveler ♫

joy and peace.

You will grow old together with one person.

♫ The wind rises, flowers fall and bloom again ♫

♫ Awaiting what's lost to be regained ♫

And many others will envy you.

In the end,

♫ These countless sorrows and joys ♫

you will find fulfillment

♫ Dusk and dawn, only you make parting hard ♫

and live a life that, when you look back on it,

is filled with endless happiness.

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

But with whom will I

spend a fulfilling life?

♫ 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 ♫

So beautiful!

Have you seen Yuanzhong?

I'll go out and take a look.

What's wrong? Where's Yuanzhong?

I haven't seen him all morning.

I looked all around outside,

but I couldn't find him.

How come?

Today is his wedding day.

Where could he have gone?

Is there any other barrier

in your Fragrant House

that leads to

somewhere we don't know about?

What should we do?

It's almost time.

Where did he go?

I'll go look for him again.

Miss Ji.

Don't worry.

Yuanzhong must have had something urgent to do.

He should be back soon.

You know where he is?

I don't.

You met him last night.

What did you tell him?

Why are you so afraid of me this time?

I'm not.

You're lying!

Miss Ji.

Is there any misunderstanding?

Zhi Dai came here with me

all the way from Yandu.

She is definitely not your enemy.

Zhi Dai!

Who sent you here?

Tell me!

Goddess of Embroidery.

Ji Tanyin,

come and find me.

You're here.

Zi Fei told me

that Xie You has two outstanding disciples.

One is the Mute Lady of Wu Mountain,

and the other one

is Goddess Wushuang.

I guessed half of the truth

but overlooked the other.

Ever since I can remember,

this jade token

has always been with me.

I treat it as a protective charm

and have been worshiping it.

We of the Youhu Clan,

once we take human form,

we forget everything from before.

So...

it's yours,

right?

Back then, I was seriously injured

and frozen in Wu Mountain.

It was you who awakened me

and took away this half of the jade token.

So, we've known each other for a long time.

The goddess I met in my youth

was also you?

Yes.

So it's fate.

No wonder you didn't kill me.

No, Yuanzhong.

I didn't kill you

because I knew

you were a good person.

You don't deserve to die.

A good person?

A good person?

Ji Tanyin,

do you really know me?

I've never been a good person.

When I was young,

I was competitive and ambitious,

eager to stand out

and make a name for myself.

After obtaining the Divine Hand,

I became greedy for success.

In just the Battle of Pinghu alone,

many War Demons

were killed by me.

Later, I was set up by my clan.

I got sealed and imprisoned.

I spent 40 years under Tianqu Peak,

without seeing the light.

I became a sinister

and vicious devil,

bent on revenge.

You must have heard

my prayer that day, right?

I wanted to destroy this world.

I wanted to drag everyone down to their deaths.

Could someone like me

be a good person?

No.

But you didn't do it, Yuanzhong.

You're not...

That's because you are too kind.

You're so kind that it's terrifying.

You're so kind

that you once wanted me to stay away from you

and even wanted me to kill you.

Because I was afraid

that I might be swayed because of you.

Those who have been in the abyss for too long

shouldn't bask in the sun.

The sun is too warm,

and it makes one yearn.

But I was still enlightened by you.

I developed desires

and wanted to be with you.

I wanted you to love me.

I thought if I

fell in love with this world,

you would fall in love with me.

But now that I've fallen in love with this world,

you still don't love me.

No, Yuanzhong.

Yuan...

No?

Am I wrong?

Do you love me?

I...

I'll always be with you.

♫ Going through thousands of years ♫

♫ In exchange for a dreamlike love ♫

Be with me?

♫ If the wind is all yours ♫

Then wait for me to die

♫ No bitterness in your expression ♫

and take this

♫ Everyone comes without a match ♫

to save your god?

♫ Why are they willing to be gentle? ♫

Why do you have to go through all this trouble?

♫ The moment your image appeared in my eyes ♫

No, Yuanzhong.

♫ The answer appeared ♫

Yuanzhong, please let me explain.

♫ But time ♫

♫ Always hides the waves and smoke ♫

What's wrong with you?

♫ Under the clouds, the good days ♫

What's wrong with you, Yuanzhong?

♫ Come and go in a flash ♫

What's wrong? What's wrong with you?

Ji Tanyin.

♫ Like the wind and moon, I'm filled with love ♫

I can't keep you anymore.

No!

♫ But it makes people go to the end of the world ♫

Where is your wound?

Where is your wound?

Hurry up and use the Divine Hand

♫ Willingly going through dawn and dusk ♫

to stop the bleeding!

Hurry up, Yuanzhong!

♫ To embrace you and listen to the rain ♫

I've let you go.

♫ Only then can I know what is memorable ♫

No, no!

I've let you go.

No!

♫ When I can only look back at you ♫

♫ If there's still a way to continue ♫

♫ I'll go no matter what ♫

No!

No!

♫ Like the wind and moon, I'm filled with love ♫

♫ But it makes people go to the end of the world ♫

♫ Willingly going through dawn and dusk ♫

No...

♫ To embrace you and listen to the rain ♫

♫ Only then can I know what is memorable ♫

♫ When I can only look back at you ♫

♫ If there's still a way to continue ♫

♫ I'll go no matter what ♫

Yuanzhong...

♫ Like the wind and moon, I'm filled with love ♫

♫ But it makes people go to the end of the world ♫

♫ Willingly going through dawn and dusk ♫

Yuanzhong!

♫ To embrace you and listen to the rain ♫

♫ Only then can I know what is memorable ♫

♫ When I can only look back at you ♫

♫ If there's still a way to continue ♫

♫ I'll go no matter what ♫

♫ I'll go no matter what ♫

Let's go.

Yuanzhong!

Yuanzhong!

Yuanzhong!

Yuanzhong!

Divine Left Hand?

What happened?

Yuanzhong!

Yuanzhong!

Ji Tanyin!

Who on earth are you?

Answer me!

Tanyin.

Qian Lin,

take care of him.

In the Divine Realm, there are two kinds of gods.

One type practices benevolent laws,

cultivates virtues,

and accumulates immeasurable magical power over countless lifetimes,

ultimately reaching complete enlightenment through contribution.

Both Hannv and I

brought benefit to the people through our skills,

and with this merit, we ascended to the Divine Realm.

We belong to this type.

The other type of gods

enters the world by transcending causality,

experiencing birth, death, and all kinds of suffering,

yet they remain unaffected by grief,

resentment, jealousy, or hatred.

They sever all obsession,

refraining from listening, seeing,

and longing,

and with a heart of cessation, they cultivate the spirit of benefiting all beings,

ultimately reaching complete enlightenment through suffering.

Deity Taihe and the gods of the Thunder Division

are all like this.

In the past, I never understood

why gods who reached enlightenment through suffering

held higher status and power than those

who achieved it through contribution.

Now, I understand.

Enduring countless tribulations without changing one's original intention,

and without hatred, anger, or resentment,

is truly difficult.

At least,

I cannot do it.

Greetings, My Lords.

Ji Tanyin, do you admit your crime?

What crime do I have?

As a god,

you put personal matters before public duty,

disobeyed orders,

destroyed your divine bone, and abandoned your divine position,

disregarding the safety of the Three Realms.

Aren't these all crimes?

I destroyed my divine bone

because I was set up by Hannv.

She revealed her divine power in the mortal realm without permission,

deceived mortals into

besieging Yuanzhong,

and colluded with humans to imprison me.

In order to escape,

I had no choice but to destroy my divine bone.

My Lords, I sincerely ask you to investigate this thoroughly.

Hannv's actions

were all carried out under our orders.

Why?

You descended to the mortal realm in the first place

to search for the Divine Left Hand

and revive Taihe.

Since you were unwilling to do it,

we had no choice but to let Hannv do it for you.

But My Lords,

you've promised me

that I could take the Divine Hand after Yuanzhong

lived out his natural life.

I've been keeping my promise.

How could you go back on your word?

Things have changed.

We agreed to your request back then

because he had committed no grave offense,

his sins did not warrant death,

and you vouched for him with your life,

though reluctantly.

But now,

he wants to destroy the world,

and his demonic intent is plain to see.

As a god,

not only did you not punish him impartially,

you even protected him out of personal feelings.

If not for your repeated interference,

he would have already perished

and the Divine Hand would have returned to the Divine Realm long ago.

And we wouldn't have to waste words today.

My Lords, please allow me to explain.

I have my reasons for what I did.

You want to make excuses?

I am not making excuses.

In the mortal realm,

I met a weapon spirit by chance.

It was born from the divine lantern I created.

During the war between gods and demons,

he witnessed with his own eyes

that Deity Taihe was actually the Demon Lord.

In his fear,

he fled the Heavenly Realm.

Insolence!

How could you believe the words

of a mere weapon spirit?

Deity Taihe was a Primordial God

and had protected all beings for thousands of years.

How dare you slander him here?

Just because he made contributions,

does that mean he doesn't make mistakes?

The cause of the war between gods and demons

was already quite suspicious.

Since there is evidence,

why can't we investigate it?

Moreover,

when I returned to the Heavenly Realm last time,

Hannv obstructed me in every way

from meeting you

and even sealed the Ascension Platform,

preventing my primordial spirit from returning.

She was so apprehensive.

Doesn't that

make you suspect her?

Nonsense!

We are all clear

about what Hannv is like.

You protected your host in the mortal realm

and disobeyed the orders.

Hannv has said a lot of good things about you.

As the divine official

who guided you when you ascended,

she not only taught you

but has also treated you like a sister.

Have you forgotten all of this?

It's one thing that you are ungrateful,

but now you're slandering her.

Do you have no conscience?

Goddess Wushuang,

to revive Taihe,

you risked your life crossing the Sea of Flux.

That was a great merit.

For this reason,

we can overlook

all your wrongdoings.

But just now,

I sensed that

the Divine Hand has already left

the host's body.

So, you should hand it over,

and I will help you regain your divine bone

and restore your position in the celestial ranks.

As for the things you are suspicious about,

we can reinvestigate them

and give you an explanation.

Give it to us.

The Divine Realm will not forget your contributions.

How dare you!

Although the gods of the Thunder Division have cold personalities,

they have always been upright.

They never lose their temper

and harm others

just because they are contradicted.

Whenever there is doubt, they always investigate,

and whenever they investigate, they do so thoroughly.

They never avoid the issue or speak in circles.

Most importantly,

they would never

be blinded by emotions.

I know it's you, Hannv!

I underestimated you.

Where are the gods of the Thunder Division?

Those old fellows

do nothing but sit in meditation all day.

With just a mere embroidery,

I deceived their five senses

and isolated them in the Discipline Hall.

Now, everything they see and feel

is an illusion created by the embroidery.

By the time they notice something's wrong,

it will already be too late.

See?

Even Mr. Loong was suppressed by me.

Now, it's just you and me.

If you still regard me as your sister,

hand over the Divine Hand.

The Divine Hand is with me.

Where's Taihe?
