Bai Ze.

What was that?

-Ji Can, a Lonescale. -Ji Can?

Unlike your name,

"Ji" here refers to loneliness.

Do you feel lonely right now?

Not just now.

It's always been this way.

Chi Wen's dragon scale, which you once swallowed,

has been inside you,

feeding on your loneliness all this time.

Finally, it took form, becoming a demon.

A demon named Lonescale.

Over the years, you held high positions as the Dragon Deity,

beloved by everyone.

But no one really understands your loneliness.

You stay alone in the Scale Cave,

accompanied only by your shadow.

Over the years,

your loneliness gave birth to this demon.

It embodies the untold loneliness deep in your heart.

Throughout the ages,

there have been only two Lonescales.

Because only the loneliest beings can give birth to this demon.

Two?

Where's the other one?

Do you remember?

Lu Wuyi keeps saying that you carry a unique fragrance.

Master Dragon Deity.

You have such a special fragrance.

I've never smelled it in the mortal world.

How come you've obtained a fragrance?

Is it because of him?

Dragon bone, dragon saliva, dragon blood, and dragon scale

all carry a fragrance.

Lonescale is essentially a dragon scale feeding on your loneliness.

Therefore, it also carries a unique scent.

But this scent makes people sad,

as if they're hollowed out.

But this fragrance

leaves a hollow ache in the heart,

like a valley full of blooming flowers, yet utterly devoid of people.

It's like flowers in an empty valley or thick snow on an ancient temple.

The lonelier you are inside, the stronger this scent becomes.

Master Dragon Deity, your fragrance seems to be lighter.

Why is your fragrance fading?

Nonsense.

Then why can't anyone smell it,

including me?

Only those who truly understand your loneliness

can smell it.

It's true. I'm not lying to you.

As we approach the end, things get more unpredictable,

and you grow more hesitant and hurt.

Right?

I'm not hesitant.

I'm afraid.

I'm scared that after so many years of struggle,

I'd fail to live up to your expectations

and let you down

in the end.

But you're also scared to succeed.

Aren't you?

Because to reach the end,

you must accept the fact that you'd lose her.

That's why I cherish every moment I have with her.

Why are you torturing yourself?

I don't want to lose her.

But it's inevitable.

I have no choice.

But you have to make a choice.

Or you'll be devoured by Lonescale.

What will happen

if I am devoured?

Master Dragon Deity.

Master Bai Ze. What brought you here?

How's everything going?

The Spirit-Binding Ring and the Dragon Deity's Power of Han Ba

were snatched away by Lu Wuyi.

What exactly does she want?

No idea.

She simply vanished.

The Dragon Deity's Power is crucial.

We must find her.

Master, why did your fragrance suddenly grow so intense?

You also smell it, Commander Li?

I don't think you could smell it before.

That's right.

Lu Wuyi kept mentioning it,

and I've been curious.

I didn't expect this fragrance to be so heartbreaking.

It feels like

entering an ancient temple abandoned in the heavy snow.

ARTISAN BAMBOO CRAFTS, EASTFIELD RICE SHOP

ARTISAN BAMBOO CRAFTS

I know him.

I've seen him at the Dragon Deity Temple. He's Master Chi Wen.

The Dragon Deity really descended.

We're saved.

Yes!

-Master Chi Wen. -Help us.

-Master Chi Wen. -Please help us!

Master Chi Wen.

Master Chi Wen.

I know him. He's Master Chi Wen.

I've seen him at the Dragon Deity Temple.

Master Chi Wen. Master Chi Wen.

Master Chi Wen. Please bestow rainfall upon us.

Please help us.

Master Chi Wen.

Please help us.

Please help us.

He is not a Dragon Deity.

He can't help us at all.

We've been worshipping and admiring him, but he doesn't do anything.

-Get him. -Get him.

Where's Master Dragon Deity?

-Where is he? -Where did he go?

-He's gone. -Master is gone.

Where did he go?

Where's Master Dragon Deity?

What Ji Ling said is true.

Lu Wuyi deceived us.

You weren't the one who cast the Word Magic on Mu Long.

It was my sister.

Ji Ling. I'm sorry.

My name is Mu Long.

My mother named me Mu Long, which means "admiring dragons".

Our entire family sees Master Dragon Deity as an almighty.

They all believed in him.

But I never did.

Because I thought

if there were dragons in this world that could eliminate disaster,

then no creature would be suffering.

So I didn't believe in him. Nor did I worship him.

Therefore, I hated my name.

Is Master Dragon Deity aware of all the worldly suffering?

But then, my great-grandmother fell ill after a stroke.

I had no choice.

I… I… I had to worship and beg him.

At that moment, I finally realized what he tried to show us.

What sustains us through suffering and helps us defeat evil…

…is not the blessing of the deities

but the hope we have.

Here you are.

Lu Wuyi will come.

I have to stop her.

Lu Wuyi will come?

Yes.

I dreamed of it.

And

I was here too.

No.

No.

Ji Ling.

Dream?

Like Ji Ling, I've also had a similar dream.

In that dream, you were possessed by Jiu Ying

after gathering all the Dragon Deity's Power.

Jiu Ying manipulated you to kill Chi Wen.

So Ji Ling is not trustworthy.

But I've also seen him in Chi Wen's memory.

His eyes were crystal clear, free from all impurity.

I'm reluctant to believe that he covets the dragon throne.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many outstanding double-flower hunters

who vow to follow him.

This moment has been repeated countless times.

All of us have been going back in time over and over.

Those are not dreams, but what really happened.

It was repeated too many times

and was etched in the depths of our consciousness

like a vague dream.

Now,

I have finally realized

what exactly Wu wanted to do.

The man she's trying to save

is not Wu Wangyan.

The years are too long, long enough to change our original intention.

People change.

Ji Ling can lie to me.

But Lu Wuyi can also lie to you.

One of them has to be lying.

Wu lied to me.

I lied to her too.

We are both lying.

Ji.

You lied to me.

You've been lying to me.

So what are you going to do?

No matter what,

I must retrieve the Dragon Deity's Power.

SERVE THE SCALES, UPHOLD THE RIGHT

Stop.

Wu.

Why can she activate the Spirit-Binding Ring?

She has the dragon's scent.

How come?

It's the Lonescale.

She has the sacred power of a Lonescale.

The Lonescale is transformed from dragon scales.

The Spirit-Binding Ring was confused by the scent

and recognized her as its master.

But why does she carry the scent of a Lonescale?

Wu.

We are still

in a rewind.

Right?

You've been through

countless rewinds,

enduring all the pain

just to save someone.

The person you've wanted to save

has always been me.

Right?

Deception.

Perhaps only lies and deception

can help me save you.

Ji Ling. Ji Ling.

Ji Ling.

Yes.

FIRST TIME

I have sent Wu Wangyan's body back to the Formless Moon.

He will be resurrected from the Primordial Sacred Spring soon.

And Wu Shiguang is about to slay the dragon.

I have played this game with you for years.

The game is finally settled.

I've accompanied you on this final journey.

Once this heavy rain falls,

my mission will be completed.

No one can control three demon powers simultaneously.

Your spiritual veins will be torn

and your soul shattered.

I've made up my mind.

Just let me do it.

By the fox's call, wrathful sandstorm.

Eastern Purple Lightning, grant me your power.

Ji Ling. Ji Ling.

Ji Ling.

Ji Ling.

Is that you?

I'm not Ji Ling.

I'm the demon in him.

A Lonescale.

You should be very familiar

with my scent.

The fragrance.

So it's you.

Are you upset?

Yes.

Do you regret it?

Do you want to start over?

Yes.

I have the ability to rewind time.

I can take you back in time to change everything.

Go back in time?

Why do you have this power?

Ji Ling

lived his entire life in remorse.

He had always wanted to go back in time

to change everything.

If I hadn't run out of sacred power,

I could have saved Yuan Wuhuo's brother.

If I can go back in time

and choose again,

will I still swallow that dragon scale?

Is it snowing in South Mountain now?

In the next life,

be a carefree blind fox.

It's summer.

There must be plenty of raspberries

by the Yumian Lake now.

All his remorse turned into an obsession

and was absorbed by the dragon scale.

That's how I came into being.

His hundred years of obsession gave me the ability to go back in time.

Do you wish to go back in time

to save your beloved one?

Yes, I do.

But I have Jiu Ying fragments in me.

He'll notice it.

The world of rewinds I create

is a closed universe free from the laws of the outside world.

Jiu Ying can't monitor you.

You can do whatever you want without any fear of failure.

You can do it over and over again,

as long as…

As long as what?

As long as your physical form can withstand it.

Each rewind rewrites the past

and inflicts serious damage on you.

I'm not afraid.

Even if I have to perish,

I'm not afraid.

Go ahead.

I can send you back to the midnight three days ago.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

Why are you helping me?

Because I also want to save Ji Ling.

He is a kind person,

yet pitiful.

He is not pitiful.

He is a kind

and great man.

FIRST REWIND

I tried over and over again…

and kept failing.

I wouldn't give up.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

Ji Ling.

Wu.

Ji Ling.

Ji Ling.

I know.

I know you did all this to kill Jiu Ying.

You didn't want me to know and kept it from me.

Why are you so cruel to yourself?

Wu.

For me,

this is already

the best result.

At least, I was the true Dragon Deity for once.

It's just that I don't know

whether they will remember me

and this pouring rain.

The little fox who pretended to be a dragon for a hundred years

lived up to the name of the Dragon Deity.

You're still lying to me.

Because you know

that if Jiu Ying dies, I'll die too.

I know I can't save you.

So I'll die with you.

No.

Wu.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

-I'll wait for you over there. -No.

I'll pick you up with a bundle of flowers in hand.

A huge bundle.

This way,

you won't be afraid.

And I won't be afraid.

If… If…

If we can, I…

I want to…

No.

No.

No. No.

Ji Ling.

No. Ji Ling.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Wait for me.

Wait for me.

I've tried a million ways

and experienced unimaginable hardships.

In the end,

I realized…

If you take Ji Ling's ring,

he can't activate his demon power and won't be able to sacrifice himself.

No.

I've tried it.

Why?

TWENTY-SIXTH REWIND

Why doesn't it work?

Taking the ring alone doesn't change Ji Ling's fate.

I must relieve this drought with the Dragon Deity's Power.

No. No.

Why not?

Once the drought is relieved, The Dragon Deity's Power will dissipate.

It will dissipate?

The Dragon Deity's Power breaks through all the barriers

and removes all spells.

Didn't Xiaowei lift the Fox-Allure Spell

for the people of Luo'an with the Dragon Deity's Power?

Lu Wuyi doesn't just want to relieve the drought.

She also wants to save Ji Ling.

The drought in Luo'an is destined to be resolved with Ji Ling's sacrifice.

No matter how many rewinds she attempts,

she can't change the long-written ending.

If she forcibly relieves the drought with the Dragon Deity's Power,

she'd be intervening with Ji Ling's destiny

against the will of heaven.

The Dragon Deity's Power will naturally dissipate.

Then our long-standing plan…

Wu.

-No. -Don't.

Wuyi. Don't.

Don't.

I insist.

Xiaowei. Ms. Yu is too badly injured. She's beyond saving.

You will defy the will of heaven

if you save her with the Dragon Deity's Power.

You will be reduced to nothing.

I insist.

Even if you resent me,

and even if I'm reduced to nothing,

I want you alive.

I won't let you die.

I have seen through your moves in my countless rewinds.

Your spells can't contain me.

My sacred power has surpassed yours.

You can't stop me.

I have no sacred power.

You have my ring.

But I must stop you.

Wuyi.

Don't do this for me.

It's not worth it.

Ji Ling.

Let go.

Wuyi.

Dreamfall.

Thank you for getting rid of them for me.

Hand over the Dragon Deity's Power of Han Ba,

and I will spare you.

Yuan Wuhuo.

You've been hiding for ages.

Finally, you can't help but show up.

Since you knew it was me, why didn't you point it out?

You know

what people become after they go through

dozens of rewinds?

What?

They become deities.

They know everything.

To the deities, both you and Li Jie

are insignificant.

Why should I care?

Triple-flower paints the day. All things live and perish.

Before me, all becomes clear. Appear.

A triple-flower mark?
