Rise!

Line up according to rank!

Kneel!

Court chant!

Long live the emperor!

Bow!

Rise!

Court chant!

Long live the emperor!

Bow!

Rise!

Court chant again!

Long live the emperor!

Bow!

Do rise.

Sit!

Your Majesty, please announce your decree of coronation!

Please also announce your decree of amnesty!

Please bestow us with a new reign!

Allowed.

As appointed by the gods, in hope of longevity, eternity, and prosperity

we shall abide by the ancestral rituals.

I shall name my reign...

Yonggu. (Means "Forever secure.")

Yes, Your Majesty!

Long live the emperor!

Your Majesty is concerned about the state affairs.

So as to lessen our burdens

you've especially arranged the wedding on this day.

Your Majesty is truly wise and thrifty!

This truly is the Great Duan Empire's good fortune.

Today, Chief Secretariat and Chancellor, Xue Huo's daughter

is hereby conferred as the empress.

Thank you, Your Majesty!

Slow down.

Empress, if we slow down, we'll be late for the ceremony.

It won't do.

If we're late, we're late.

Your Highness must be joking.

I mean it.

I'll be honest with you.

I'm not willing to marry.

How I hope that all your legs break and you can't walk anymore.

Your Highness, have mercy on us!

Your Highness, have mercy on us!

I've forgotten.

The words of an empress actually have such an influence.

Forget it.

Isn't this the influence I want?

Excuse me!

May I ask if you lied to me?

So what if I did?

You didn't lose your lover?

I made that up.

This is wonderful.

What's wonderful about that?

There is one less person who is upset over losing a loved one.

How wonderful is that?

Thank you.

You're considered a good friend if you know how to deceive me.

However, I'm going to get married just like this.

Eunuch, answer me.

The palace guards are dressed in different colors.

Does that mean they are of different ranks?

Whatever the ranks, they should all be in silver armor.

It's just the patterns that are different.

What about those in black?

In the entire Duan Empire, only Muru soldiers can dress in black.

Quickly.

Escort me out of the palace.

Empress!

I don't wish to die so soon.

Convey my decree.

Muyun Sheng convicted the Muru family during his regency.

He broke the oath between our ancestors and our empire's foundation stone.

He should be imprisoned at the city gate according to ancestral code

but now that he's escaped, he is to be punished more severely.

Muyun Sheng is to be arrested and thrown into the Celestial Prison.

Execution is to take place after autumn.

Yes, Your Majesty!

The Duan Empire is finally bestowed with such a wise ruler.

From now on, our nation can forever be secure!

Our nation can forever be secure!

Our reign shall last an eternity!

Long live Your Majesty!

He's obviously a traitor!

Attack!

Yu Xin Ji!

What... what are you doing?

I'm here to arrest the rebel.

Where is the rebel?

Where is the rebel?

He's right on the throne.

You're going to kill the emperor?

Tian Qi City Guards are just outside!

They will charge in here soon!

Indeed.

They are right outside the palace now.

Unfortunately, they only follow my orders.

Not yours, Master Xue.

I have the badge.

Why would they obey your command?

That's nothing new.

I just happened to make a group of friends in the army

during the past 10 years.

Yu Xin Ji!

I never would have thought that you were actually the one

with the wildest ambition!

If you refuse to stop now

your notorious reputation shall be passed down

throughout the history of Novoland!

You will be the most disloyal man in the history of the Great Duan Empire!

I am not a man of disloyalty!

I just want to arrest the rebel who killed the clan of Muru

and tricked the Great Duan Empire to acquire its throne!

Who would believe you?

Who would?

Who would believe you?

Master Xue!

Who doesn't believe me?

Yu Xin Ji!

General Yu...

What would General Yu like?

Could it be that you also want this throne and the sovereignty?

You can have it.

Mother, what did you say?

How can we give up the Muyuns' sovereignty to another surname?

Shut up!

You can have the throne.

I can make the decision!

As long as you let He Ge off...

Sure!

I can choose not to hurt him.

After all, he's still a baby hiding behind his mother.

He Ge!

Protect the general!

I am Muyun He Ge.

I'm the 19th emperor in succession of the Muyuns' sovereignty.

My reign is named Yonggu.

My sovereignty...

I'll defend it!

He Ge!

He Ge!

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty...

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Your Majesty...

Why?

Why do you have to rob me of everything I own?

All I wanted was a husband who loved me...

and an outstanding son.

Was I wrong?

What you wanted...

was an emperor for a husband and an emperor for a son.

Was I wrong to want that?

Look!

Yu Xin Ji killed the emperor and the empress dowager!

If the Muru family hadn't long had such an ambition

why would they have mentored such disloyal subordinates?

Yu Xin Ji is disloyal?

Yu Xin Ji!

Am I disloyal?

The Great Duan Empire has such a promising future!

Such kind and obedient people!

We need a good emperor.

Whoever isn't fit to take this throne...

should be killed.

Your Majesty!

If your soul still lingers, please return to your throne!

Muyun He Ge...

How dare you betray me?

Whoever betrays me...

I'll make sure you know what it means to regret.

Gentlemen, what brings you here?

Muyun He Ge and Nanku Ming Yi usurped the throne.

They are both dead for their sins.

Acting upon the general's orders, we're here to arrest their accomplices.

Nanku Yue Li, come out here!

- You can't go in! - Step aside!

Could you not do some good?

It's said that should people die a violent death

their last glance will be full of vengeance!

You will see many more!

Just avoid seeing one now if you could!

Note it down!

Nanku Yue Li has killed herself for her own sins.

Yes!

Nanku Yue Li...

You're Nanku Yue Li...

You never admit defeat...

You can't be defeated either.

If you die now... you'll really be defeated.

Nanku Yue Li...

You are Nanku Yue Li!

Can you hear me?

You heard me.

You heard me...

You heard me!

Congratulations to Prince Ning Rui!

General Yu Xin Ji has discovered the former emperor's secret decree.

The secret decree states

"Should there be mishaps in the palace"

"the throne shall be succeeded by Sixth Prince, Muyun Sheng!"

The former empress and her gang were all annihilated.

General Yu beseeches Your Majesty to take the throne immediately!

Your Majesty, please change into the emperor's robe!

Your Majesty, please change into the emperor's robe!

Whatever will be, will be.

- Please take the throne, Your-- - Don't bother!

I'm so terribly sorry!

I'm terribly sorry!

General Yu, speak!

What would you have me do?

Your Majesty should be serious about your coronation.

Only if you behave seriously can you win over all the others.

You mustn't finish it all in such a rush like some child's play.

Wasn't the person who took the throne in this robe yesterday serious about it?

Where is that man now?

Your Majesty, do you also think that I'm a disloyal subject?

I intend to usurp the throne?

It's my turn now to ask you.

General Yu, what do you think loyalty means?

It isn't up to me to say if I'm loyal or not.

There are some people who would obey orders every day.

They claim that the sovereign is the most prestigious.

They kowtow numerous times.

But they might not be loyal.

Some people criticize bluntly and seem offensive.

Some refuse to follow certain orders.

They might not be disloyal.

If Your Majesty can notice all that and understand human minds

you can then catch a glimpse into the ways of an emperor.

Someone once said to me...

human minds are always changing.

Yet they are always centered around love, desire, obsession, and hatred.

Therefore, I understand you very well.

You truly are a loyal subject.

Your Majesty, can you use magical powers to read minds?

Why would I need magical powers for that?

I know your intentions.

I'll just be sitting on that throne for the time being.

Whenever you want it back, I'll return it anytime.

Your Majesty.

Does that make me loyal or disloyal?

I know that you're waiting for someone.

Once Muyun Han returns from Han Prefecture

I'll give the throne up to him.

Indeed.

Out of all of the princes

only Prince Han cares for the Muru family.

I know that.

A military report has been sent from the frontier.

The Muru Cavalry led by Prince Han

has destroyed the main camp of North Continent!

The Muru banner has yet to fall in North Continent.

That's good to know.

When he returns...

I'll abdicate my throne.

Line up according to the ranks!

Kneel!

From today onward, my reign will be named...

Wei Ping. (Means "uncertainty.")

Court chant!

Long live the emperor!

Bow!

So as to vie for authority and self interest

whatever law and order there was has now been destroyed.

There's no point in retrieving it.

I might just as well draw this sword out.

Create a new world instead.

It's you...

I understand...

You're here to fetch me.

It's all come to an end.

Yes.

Where are they?

Are they all dead?

It's all over.

Before we go...

let me have some water.

Did you fulfill your wish?

I've been working hard on it.

What then?

Give it up.

This world won't let you have it your way.

That's why we have to fight!

Even if your opponent is God Pandar?

Even if my opponent is...

God Pandar.

Why?

Why have you brought me to the Black Forest?

Tie Yuan...

Tie Yuan.

Address me as your lord.

Why would you help me?

My master sent me to rescue you.

Your master?

Who is it?

He has no name.

Everyone calls him...

"That Man."

They are all dead...

Tens of thousands of Han Prefecture's people...

are all dead.

1,369 lives in the Suqin Clan...

I'm the only one left.

My child...

When you are born, even if you're born as a fugitive of East Continent

you have to become as strong as your father, Helan Tie Yuan.

And as clever as I am.

For every morning that I shall survive...

I'll tell you a story of the Suqin Clan.

You can use the daytime to grow your affection for them.

Then at night...

I'll tell you how they died...

and who killed them.

You must always keep one thing in mind, just like I do.

Hatred.

I... am here to bestow powers upon you.

Who are you?

I don't have a name.

They...

They all call me "That Man."

I've heard of you.

Your name is also linked to curses.

The old lords of each clan only dare to mention you

to the new lord before their deaths.

They said...

Once you met That Man, it's better to die than live.

That's because...

once anyone falls into your hands

they can never enter the temple of God Pandar.

I've chosen you.

You and your child...

shall remain as my slaves for life.

You...

You have to keep a secret for me.

The God of Ruins' spirit...

It's awakening in Zhong Prefecture.

That seemingly timid and weak man of the royal family...

will ruin all living creatures that the God of Desolation created.

All living creatures shall be destroyed.

The world shall then return to nothingness.

Before the God of Desolation created all living creatures

he hid his heart in Han Prefecture.

When doom descends upon Novoland...

only the God of Desolation's heart

can restart the cycle.
