00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:40,980
=Love Beyond the Grave=
(Adapted from the novel by Li Qingran)

2
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,990
=Episode 36=

3
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:29,900
So you were prepared all along.

4
00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:48,070
He Simu!

5
00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:49,460
He Simu!

6
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:52,980
He Simu,

7
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,420
you and your father enslaved us

8
00:02:54,420 --> 00:02:55,580
with the Decrees all along.

9
00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:57,230
Now, you don't have the Lantern.

10
00:02:57,550 --> 00:02:59,020
How can you still restrain us?

11
00:02:59,020 --> 00:02:59,950
Without the Lantern,

12
00:02:59,950 --> 00:03:01,700
you're not the Sovereign of Spirits.

13
00:03:02,110 --> 00:03:02,950
Then the throne

14
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:04,350
is available to anyone.

15
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:10,460
It's not a throne

16
00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:13,300
unless I sit on it.

17
00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:15,270
With or without the Lantern,

18
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:18,620
I am the Sovereign of Spirits.

19
00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:46,510
But without the Lantern,

20
00:03:47,670 --> 00:03:49,790
the Void will never be at peace.

21
00:03:53,550 --> 00:03:54,390
Simu,

22
00:03:55,670 --> 00:03:57,230
did you really give it to Yan Ke?

23
00:03:58,830 --> 00:04:00,140
Without the Lantern,

24
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:01,070
you and I are peers.

25
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:02,740
Come on.

26
00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:03,580
Let me sit on it.

27
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:09,420
That explains it.

28
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:11,020
Yan Ke issued an edict

29
00:04:11,020 --> 00:04:12,020
to the 24 Temples,

30
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:14,510
calling for surrender
in the name of the Lantern.

31
00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:16,230
He even sent puppet spirits

32
00:04:16,230 --> 00:04:17,260
to attack Fusang Tree

33
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:18,300
and mess up the Void.

34
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:20,110
Luckily, you set up a formation

35
00:04:20,110 --> 00:04:21,670
to seal the exit of Fusang Tree.

36
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:23,740
My father left this formation.

37
00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:26,300
It was meant to stop the spirits

38
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:28,110
who didn't want to obey the Decrees.

39
00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:29,910
It's controlled by spirit power.

40
00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:32,990
From this day on,

41
00:04:34,260 --> 00:04:35,820
I'll take command of the Void.

42
00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:37,860
Apart from me,

43
00:04:38,470 --> 00:04:40,420
spirits may enter but never leave.

44
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:02,180
I have such great power.

45
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:12,030
Why can't I make you

46
00:05:12,030 --> 00:05:13,300
accept me as your master yet?

47
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,060
Yan Ke cornered the Sovereign like this.

48
00:05:18,140 --> 00:05:18,990
He is

49
00:05:18,990 --> 00:05:20,180
also a tough one.

50
00:05:20,710 --> 00:05:21,990
I sent lords of Shaoling Temple

51
00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:22,990
and Zhuangling Temple

52
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:24,230
to detain puppet spirits.

53
00:05:24,550 --> 00:05:26,350
But too many puppet spirits

54
00:05:26,350 --> 00:05:27,590
are hiding throughout the Void.

55
00:05:27,820 --> 00:05:29,550
It will take some days to find them all.

56
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:31,030
Before, Yan Zhang

57
00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:33,230
could only control puppets in the Void

58
00:05:33,230 --> 00:05:34,740
with Chiling Secret Technique.

59
00:05:34,940 --> 00:05:35,860
Why can Yan Ke

60
00:05:35,860 --> 00:05:37,030
control those puppet spirits

61
00:05:37,030 --> 00:05:38,060
even in the Mortal World?

62
00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:39,620
He must have

63
00:05:39,910 --> 00:05:41,150
much stronger power now.

64
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:42,710
Within such a short time,

65
00:05:42,990 --> 00:05:44,350
he must have devoured many spirits.

66
00:05:44,820 --> 00:05:46,350
He stole my Chiling Secret Technique.

67
00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:48,340
Thief.

68
00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:49,460
In that case,

69
00:05:49,990 --> 00:05:51,150
he even has the Lantern.

70
00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:53,500
Why is he trying hard

71
00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:55,180
to mess up the Void

72
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:56,380
instead of attacking it?

73
00:05:57,030 --> 00:05:58,300
He does have the Lantern.

74
00:05:58,590 --> 00:05:59,910
But it doesn't mean he can use it.

75
00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:02,060
Yan Ke is making such a big scene

76
00:06:02,820 --> 00:06:04,380
just to pin me down

77
00:06:04,740 --> 00:06:05,940
and figure out how to use it.

78
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:07,620
The Lantern follows the strongest.

79
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:09,420
We don't know how Yan Ke

80
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:10,910
has been growing his power out there.

81
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:13,180
But the submission of the Lantern

82
00:06:14,420 --> 00:06:15,590
is only a matter of time.

83
00:06:19,740 --> 00:06:21,110
The Lantern

84
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:23,420
won't yield to him

85
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:25,740
unless I'm dead.

86
00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:29,700
Xu,

87
00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:31,620
you just recovered from the poison.

88
00:06:32,300 --> 00:06:33,420
Go get some more rest.

89
00:06:34,940 --> 00:06:36,030
I feel much better now.

90
00:06:36,820 --> 00:06:38,260
Luda's poison is fierce.

91
00:06:38,910 --> 00:06:40,260
But the physician cured me in time.

92
00:06:41,990 --> 00:06:42,830
Yeah.

93
00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:50,590
Xu,

94
00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:51,790
don't push yourself too hard.

95
00:06:52,110 --> 00:06:53,550
When Xiaoxiao calms down and returns,

96
00:06:53,790 --> 00:06:54,990
we'll drink and eat meat pies.

97
00:06:59,990 --> 00:07:00,830
You're right.

98
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:03,470
She may refuse to see me.

99
00:07:04,350 --> 00:07:05,500
But she'll come to see you.

100
00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:13,390
Prophet.

101
00:07:14,620 --> 00:07:15,470
You're back already?

102
00:07:22,260 --> 00:07:23,100
These red spots...

103
00:07:23,590 --> 00:07:24,620
Did you meet evil spirits?

104
00:07:25,380 --> 00:07:27,420
It's the duty of our sect

105
00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:28,620
to punish the evil spirits

106
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:29,460
in the Mortal World.

107
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:31,020
It's just...

108
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:35,470
I haven't found the elixir for you.

109
00:07:38,350 --> 00:07:39,710
I thought it was something serious.

110
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:41,340
Never mind.

111
00:07:42,470 --> 00:07:43,310
Ziji.

112
00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:49,110
This is the Rescue Pill of our sect.

113
00:07:49,620 --> 00:07:51,350
It can help you restore your vitality.

114
00:07:52,110 --> 00:07:52,990
But it can't cure

115
00:07:52,990 --> 00:07:54,590
the trauma from your fading senses.

116
00:07:55,380 --> 00:07:56,620
That's actually irreversible.

117
00:08:10,150 --> 00:08:11,150
This is good enough.

118
00:08:12,380 --> 00:08:13,220
I'll always remember

119
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:15,180
how you've saved my life.

120
00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:18,950
Prophet,

121
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:20,710
may I ask one more favor?

122
00:08:22,110 --> 00:08:22,950
What is it?

123
00:08:30,590 --> 00:08:31,430
Could you please

124
00:08:32,430 --> 00:08:33,660
take a message to Simu?

125
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:35,430
Tell her I'm confused

126
00:08:35,860 --> 00:08:37,020
and I want to see her again.

127
00:08:40,190 --> 00:08:41,950
I can be bold enough

128
00:08:41,950 --> 00:08:42,860
to take this message.

129
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:44,190
But...

130
00:08:44,660 --> 00:08:46,380
Great Ancestor won't agree.

131
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:47,950
She is

132
00:08:47,950 --> 00:08:49,590
quite resolute.

133
00:08:49,860 --> 00:08:50,830
Actually,

134
00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:53,190
she has always been

135
00:08:53,190 --> 00:08:54,350
indulgent with you.

136
00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:55,910
Maybe...

137
00:08:56,310 --> 00:08:57,540
When the war is over,

138
00:08:57,950 --> 00:08:59,230
you can go find her in the Void.

139
00:09:05,710 --> 00:09:06,660
When the war is over...

140
00:09:14,950 --> 00:09:16,070
Whenever she wants to see me,

141
00:09:19,020 --> 00:09:20,110
she can come anytime.

142
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:25,270
I can't do the same.

143
00:09:30,190 --> 00:09:31,430
This is so unfair.

144
00:09:44,260 --> 00:09:45,710
You should have known it early.

145
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:53,580
I know.

146
00:09:55,350 --> 00:09:56,590
Great Ancestor.

147
00:10:01,190 --> 00:10:02,190
Things are tricky?

148
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:05,470
Many evil spirits
have appeared in Youzhou

149
00:10:05,470 --> 00:10:06,430
like attending a market.

150
00:10:06,430 --> 00:10:07,900
They came from other cities.

151
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:10,190
It took a great deal of effort.

152
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:12,150
It's Yan Ke.

153
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:15,780
He took the Spirits Lantern

154
00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:16,780
and hid it in Youzhou.

155
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:18,620
He can't operate it.

156
00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:20,540
But he might use it

157
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:22,500
to suppress the spirits there

158
00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:23,380
to serve his needs.

159
00:10:23,950 --> 00:10:24,990
I've locked down the Void,

160
00:10:24,990 --> 00:10:26,110
so spirits can't get out.

161
00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:27,620
In the Mortal World,

162
00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:28,860
you must be careful.

163
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:30,540
Great Ancestor,

164
00:10:31,020 --> 00:10:32,430
that's too much for you.

165
00:10:33,740 --> 00:10:35,350
You have to defend the Void

166
00:10:35,540 --> 00:10:36,950
and protect the Mortal World.

167
00:10:36,950 --> 00:10:37,790
I...

168
00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:39,070
Wait, wait.

169
00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:41,580
Great Ancestor,

170
00:10:43,260 --> 00:10:44,470
will you really

171
00:10:45,780 --> 00:10:47,430
not see him again?

172
00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:52,540
He asked me to take a message.

173
00:10:52,740 --> 00:10:53,580
He said

174
00:10:55,540 --> 00:10:56,900
he was confused

175
00:10:57,430 --> 00:10:58,830
and wanted to see you again.

176
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:02,430
I'm just doing

177
00:11:02,620 --> 00:11:03,830
what I promised him.

178
00:11:07,310 --> 00:11:08,150
Are you done?

179
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:10,310
The last time I saw him,

180
00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:12,190
he wasn't feeling very well.

181
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:15,020
You just found out?

182
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:17,500
Just as I thought,

183
00:11:17,500 --> 00:11:19,620
nothing can escape you.

184
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:21,860
I didn't dare to tell you

185
00:11:22,230 --> 00:11:23,710
about his fading senses.

186
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:25,950
I thought

187
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:27,950
I could find a way to cure him.

188
00:11:28,780 --> 00:11:30,740
But I just can't.

189
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:33,620
Great Ancestor,

190
00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:35,430
so...

191
00:11:37,540 --> 00:11:40,230
Will you go see him?

192
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:46,140
Watch over Duan Shunxi.

193
00:12:20,110 --> 00:12:20,950
Ziji,

194
00:12:22,070 --> 00:12:22,910
I almost feel like

195
00:12:24,830 --> 00:12:26,590
I'm seeing my own ancestors.

196
00:12:28,430 --> 00:12:29,900
I guess I'm dying.

197
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:34,030
Just a hallucination.

198
00:12:34,950 --> 00:12:36,020
You saw them last year.

199
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:40,900
Take your medicine.

200
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:41,740
Ziji,

201
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:44,380
in this world,

202
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:46,540
Great Ancestor must have been

203
00:12:46,540 --> 00:12:47,540
the best Sovereign ever.

204
00:12:51,260 --> 00:12:52,100
Don't you think so?

205
00:12:57,830 --> 00:12:59,380
The Sovereign who has no wishes

206
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:02,260
restrains the spirits
born of obsessions.

207
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:04,260
Everything in this world

208
00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:06,350
is deliberately designed

209
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:09,070
with connected links

210
00:13:09,710 --> 00:13:10,780
just for smooth operation.

211
00:13:12,110 --> 00:13:12,950
Ziji.

212
00:13:14,780 --> 00:13:16,260
Do you think this is good?

213
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:19,070
Like you said,

214
00:13:20,110 --> 00:13:21,560
the world operates smoothly.

215
00:13:25,140 --> 00:13:25,980
So,

216
00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:28,310
either it's Great Ancestor

217
00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:29,740
who doesn't want to be the Sovereign,

218
00:13:30,350 --> 00:13:31,590
or it's me who has a short life.

219
00:13:33,190 --> 00:13:34,660
Neither of us is given a choice.

220
00:13:35,140 --> 00:13:36,470
We're nothing but tools.

221
00:13:38,140 --> 00:13:39,860
Do you still think this way

222
00:13:42,950 --> 00:13:44,350
after living here for so long?

223
00:13:48,990 --> 00:13:49,830
Take your medicine.

224
00:13:50,350 --> 00:13:51,190
Don't change the subject.

225
00:13:55,590 --> 00:13:57,430
Oh no, you noticed.

226
00:13:58,020 --> 00:13:59,950
After I spit out

227
00:13:59,950 --> 00:14:00,830
that blood,

228
00:14:00,830 --> 00:14:01,670
I felt

229
00:14:02,140 --> 00:14:04,020
much more refreshed.

230
00:14:04,780 --> 00:14:06,830
How about

231
00:14:08,140 --> 00:14:09,990
I don't take this medicine?

232
00:14:35,190 --> 00:14:36,740
You know it doesn't work on me.

233
00:14:40,540 --> 00:14:41,900
You should go back soon.

234
00:15:00,470 --> 00:15:01,660
Youzhou has complex terrain.

235
00:15:02,020 --> 00:15:03,620
We managed to guard some cities.

236
00:15:04,070 --> 00:15:05,500
But our losses are much greater.

237
00:15:08,590 --> 00:15:09,430
This arrowhead

238
00:15:09,780 --> 00:15:10,860
is forged from Tianluo Ore

239
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:12,660
just like my armor.

240
00:15:13,190 --> 00:15:14,350
It's lightweight and sharp

241
00:15:14,770 --> 00:15:15,620
and penetrates better

242
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:16,470
than iron arrowheads.

243
00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:18,590
This is my lethal weapon

244
00:15:18,830 --> 00:15:19,830
for the Chong Army.

245
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:24,370
Impressive.

246
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:26,740
You're a genius, Marshal.

247
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:34,710
Their High Priest

248
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:35,900
used poison to scare us

249
00:15:35,900 --> 00:15:36,860
and demoralize us.

250
00:15:37,190 --> 00:15:38,660
Now, we have this new arrowhead.

251
00:15:39,140 --> 00:15:40,230
I can imagine how awesome

252
00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:41,990
it would be to shoot them with this.

253
00:15:45,140 --> 00:15:45,980
Xu.

254
00:15:48,140 --> 00:15:48,980
You...

255
00:15:52,110 --> 00:15:53,470
Go supervise the arrowhead forging

256
00:15:54,070 --> 00:15:54,910
and set the tactics.

257
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:56,830
Yes.

258
00:15:57,860 --> 00:15:58,700
Let's go.

259
00:16:02,110 --> 00:16:02,950
Xu,

260
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:04,660
Mr. Fang sent a message.

261
00:16:04,660 --> 00:16:05,900
He's back in Nandu for work.

262
00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:08,790
(Emperor of Liang fell ill.)

263
00:16:09,180 --> 00:16:11,630
(Prince Su and Prince Ji
besieged Nandu,)

264
00:16:11,630 --> 00:16:12,880
(forcing him to abdicate.)

265
00:16:13,730 --> 00:16:15,320
(Prince Jin and Fang Xianye)

266
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,030
(took the Emperor to the Royal Villa.)

267
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:20,110
(Without an emperor,
Nandu is in great chaos.)

268
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,540
(Royal Villa)

269
00:16:28,660 --> 00:16:30,020
There you are, Fang.

270
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:31,590
Your Majesty,

271
00:16:31,950 --> 00:16:33,830
I've brought some medicinal supplements.

272
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:52,430
Over all these years,

273
00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:55,230
you and Duan Xu worked hard

274
00:16:56,540 --> 00:16:57,740
to assist my son Jin.

275
00:16:59,140 --> 00:17:01,310
By Your Majesty's grace,

276
00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:03,190
Duan Shunxi and I assist Prince Jin.

277
00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:04,470
It is our honor.

278
00:17:04,990 --> 00:17:05,870
We won't complain.

279
00:17:06,540 --> 00:17:08,470
The three of you are destined to meet.

280
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:10,430
In the same year's exam,

281
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:11,620
you were

282
00:17:11,910 --> 00:17:14,300
the top three scholars.

283
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:17,580
And you all wanted to uphold our nation.

284
00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:19,910
All the officials in court

285
00:17:20,580 --> 00:17:21,420
either support

286
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:23,150
Chancellor Du or Duke Pei.

287
00:17:24,100 --> 00:17:25,500
All they want to do

288
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:27,100
is fight for power.

289
00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:29,740
They never want to help our people.

290
00:17:31,820 --> 00:17:33,020
I'm really relieved

291
00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:34,830
to see

292
00:17:35,670 --> 00:17:37,020
people like you.

293
00:17:39,330 --> 00:17:40,740
The Chong invaded our territories

294
00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:41,710
to enslave our people.

295
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,430
Our people have been suffering.

296
00:17:44,020 --> 00:17:44,860
I became an official

297
00:17:45,150 --> 00:17:46,630
just to change this situation.

298
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:49,100
Prince Su and Prince Ji

299
00:17:49,950 --> 00:17:52,430
are each backed
by Chancellor Du and Duke Pei.

300
00:17:53,020 --> 00:17:54,710
They want to force me to abdicate

301
00:17:55,670 --> 00:17:56,740
when I'm seriously ill.

302
00:17:57,950 --> 00:18:00,470
I won't let them have their way.

303
00:18:01,230 --> 00:18:02,430
I told Jin

304
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:04,670
to send out secret decrees everywhere.

305
00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:06,180
The reinforcements

306
00:18:06,340 --> 00:18:08,470
will soon arrive.

307
00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:10,620
And of course...

308
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:14,020
I also issued a decree to Duan Xu,

309
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:17,020
asking him to return soon and help us.

310
00:18:25,190 --> 00:18:26,710
How is Miss Duan?

311
00:18:27,260 --> 00:18:27,910
Don't worry.

312
00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:28,750
Everything is fine.

313
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:30,950
Send this letter

314
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:31,780
to Miss Duan

315
00:18:31,780 --> 00:18:32,620
as fast as you can.

316
00:18:55,910 --> 00:18:56,990
(Decree)
Duan Xu misled the army.

317
00:18:57,390 --> 00:18:58,300
Duke Pei ordered

318
00:18:58,580 --> 00:19:00,230
all secret letters from Nandu to Youzhou

319
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:01,950
should be intercepted. Let's go.

320
00:19:01,950 --> 00:19:02,790
Yes.

321
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:21,910
What exactly is the Spirits Lantern?

322
00:19:22,740 --> 00:19:24,430
The supreme treasure
of the Spirit World.

323
00:19:25,260 --> 00:19:27,630
It can make a spirit
have immense power,

324
00:19:27,990 --> 00:19:29,060
command all the spirits,

325
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:31,100
and reign in the Void.

326
00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:39,230
It's a symbol of the Sovereign

327
00:19:42,020 --> 00:19:44,230
and a symbol of power.

328
00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:48,260
The Spirits Lantern.

329
00:19:49,580 --> 00:19:50,870
What will happen

330
00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:54,150
if a human has it?

331
00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:59,740
(Liang)

332
00:20:12,340 --> 00:20:14,060
Why are evil spirits here?

333
00:21:00,870 --> 00:21:01,710
Yan Ke,

334
00:21:02,150 --> 00:21:03,260
I hear you're now a traitor

335
00:21:03,260 --> 00:21:04,430
that everyone wants to beat.

336
00:21:05,150 --> 00:21:06,430
Duan Shunxi,

337
00:21:06,990 --> 00:21:08,820
let's see how long you'll be laughing.

338
00:21:10,150 --> 00:21:10,990
(The Lantern?)

339
00:21:11,340 --> 00:21:12,260
(Why does he have it?)

340
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:27,310
Simu,

341
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:29,710
did you receive the present

342
00:21:30,020 --> 00:21:31,060
I left in the Void?

343
00:21:34,670 --> 00:21:35,630
So sad.

344
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:37,100
Yan Zhang worked so hard

345
00:21:37,100 --> 00:21:38,430
to collect those puppets.

346
00:21:39,190 --> 00:21:40,150
But they were fragile.

347
00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:42,910
Since you don't like this present,

348
00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:46,630
I'll show you something else.

349
00:21:49,500 --> 00:21:50,540
You've shielded him

350
00:21:50,540 --> 00:21:51,780
so well.

351
00:21:52,150 --> 00:21:53,710
It took me quite a lot of trouble

352
00:21:53,710 --> 00:21:54,710
to take him.

353
00:21:56,430 --> 00:21:57,270
Simu.

354
00:22:01,870 --> 00:22:03,430
You know you're doomed.

355
00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:05,740
That's why

356
00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:06,870
you pull such a dirty trick.

357
00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:09,340
Last time, you traded the Lantern

358
00:22:09,340 --> 00:22:10,340
for his life.

359
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:11,940
This time,

360
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:14,300
what will you trade?

361
00:22:15,580 --> 00:22:16,500
Don't be silly.

362
00:22:19,340 --> 00:22:21,390
You know exactly

363
00:22:21,630 --> 00:22:22,870
how the Lantern works.

364
00:22:23,540 --> 00:22:24,710
(Simu traded the Lantern)

365
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:25,550
(for my antidote.)

366
00:22:26,100 --> 00:22:27,870
I've done my best for him.

367
00:22:28,670 --> 00:22:30,340
He means nothing to me now.

368
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:32,870
If you want to kill him, kill him.

369
00:22:33,910 --> 00:22:36,580
Simu, you're always kind to mortals.

370
00:22:36,910 --> 00:22:38,150
If I kill him,

371
00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:41,470
you'll be sad, won't you?

372
00:22:50,150 --> 00:22:51,820
How pathetic you are, Yan Ke.

373
00:22:54,340 --> 00:22:55,630
It's been 300 years.

374
00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:58,100
You still can't find my vital gate.

375
00:22:58,950 --> 00:23:00,150
I gave you the Lantern,

376
00:23:00,150 --> 00:23:01,190
but you can't use it.

377
00:23:01,950 --> 00:23:02,910
You can't beat me

378
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:04,020
and you can't kill me.

379
00:23:04,540 --> 00:23:05,630
You've even fallen for me.

380
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:08,300
Now all you can do is threaten me

381
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,340
with a mere mortal.

382
00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:14,670
How could you be so silly?

383
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:22,820
Seeing how miserable you are,

384
00:23:24,580 --> 00:23:25,910
let me tell you something.

385
00:23:27,470 --> 00:23:28,710
300 years ago,

386
00:23:29,740 --> 00:23:31,580
I tore out my vital gate

387
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:34,100
and melted it into the Lantern.

388
00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:46,670
As for him...

389
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:49,710
His business isn't my concern.

390
00:23:50,910 --> 00:23:52,020
You can't kill me

391
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:55,740
unless you destroy the Lantern.

392
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:01,910
But would you do that?

393
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:06,710
You traded the Lantern for me.

394
00:24:07,470 --> 00:24:08,630
So you care about me!

395
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:24,100
Only a real rival makes it exciting.

396
00:24:26,060 --> 00:24:27,340
You're right, Simu.

397
00:24:29,060 --> 00:24:30,540
I wouldn't destroy it.

398
00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:16,060
I told you.

399
00:25:17,150 --> 00:25:19,020
She's never had trouble finding love.

400
00:25:20,430 --> 00:25:21,740
What do you think you are?

401
00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:24,910
You're just nothing.

402
00:25:26,150 --> 00:25:27,910
She traded the Lantern for you

403
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:30,390
because she had a backup plan.

404
00:25:35,430 --> 00:25:37,670
If she really had to lose something,

405
00:25:38,020 --> 00:25:39,670
she wouldn't hesitate to leave you.

406
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:42,340
She fooled you.

407
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:44,780
You're just a toy.

408
00:25:45,870 --> 00:25:46,870
I don't believe it.

409
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:50,230
Simu wouldn't do this to me.

410
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:52,670
I used to think

411
00:25:52,670 --> 00:25:54,020
the physician cured me.

412
00:25:55,260 --> 00:25:56,190
I just found out

413
00:25:57,260 --> 00:25:58,190
Simu traded the Lantern

414
00:25:58,190 --> 00:25:59,030
for my life.

415
00:26:00,020 --> 00:26:01,300
She wouldn't give up on me.

416
00:26:01,820 --> 00:26:02,670
Stop daydreaming!

417
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,230
Since He Simu has abandoned you,

418
00:26:07,570 --> 00:26:08,430
you're no longer

419
00:26:08,430 --> 00:26:09,670
of any use to me.

420
00:26:15,060 --> 00:26:16,430
Even if she doesn't care about me,

421
00:26:18,100 --> 00:26:19,060
she has to care

422
00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:20,190
about her spell bearer.

423
00:26:21,540 --> 00:26:22,820
She wouldn't leave me alone.

424
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:40,430
Since you're her spell bearer,

425
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:44,060
you can

426
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:45,950
exchange senses anytime.

427
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:50,580
I want you to exchange senses with her

428
00:26:50,580 --> 00:26:52,060
at the moment I tell you.

429
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:54,740
When I defeat and capture her,

430
00:26:55,580 --> 00:26:57,710
the Lantern will take me as its master.

431
00:26:58,630 --> 00:27:00,820
Then I'll make her stay by your side

432
00:27:01,630 --> 00:27:02,910
for the rest of your life.

433
00:27:03,870 --> 00:27:04,710
What do you say?

434
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:10,340
Where's Marshal Duan?

435
00:27:10,340 --> 00:27:11,190
Why is he gone?

436
00:27:11,190 --> 00:27:12,390
Still no news of Marshal Duan?

437
00:27:15,150 --> 00:27:16,500
Terrible enemies.

438
00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:18,300
They want to annihilate us

439
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:19,740
when Marshal Duan isn't here.

440
00:27:20,020 --> 00:27:21,150
We can't let them win!

441
00:27:21,910 --> 00:27:22,780
Commandant Xia,

442
00:27:22,780 --> 00:27:23,670
you lead reinforcements

443
00:27:23,670 --> 00:27:24,710
to Fengzhou right now.

444
00:27:24,910 --> 00:27:25,990
Rest assured. Count on me.

445
00:27:26,150 --> 00:27:26,990
Meng Wan,

446
00:27:26,990 --> 00:27:28,470
Qizhou is our granary.

447
00:27:28,670 --> 00:27:30,020
You must guard it well!

448
00:27:30,020 --> 00:27:30,910
Yes!

449
00:27:30,910 --> 00:27:31,750
Report!

450
00:27:32,670 --> 00:27:34,430
The Chong army is attacking fiercely!

451
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,870
Now?

452
00:27:35,870 --> 00:27:37,190
- Yeah.
- What do we do?

453
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:40,300
I'll serve as the vanguard.

454
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:41,710
Youzhou determines

455
00:27:41,710 --> 00:27:42,740
the fate of the war

456
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:44,670
and hundreds of thousands of lives.

457
00:27:45,100 --> 00:27:46,100
Xu isn't here now.

458
00:27:46,260 --> 00:27:47,260
We must fight desperately

459
00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:48,380
and never retreat.

460
00:27:57,260 --> 00:27:58,430
Protect yourself.

461
00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:10,100
The puppet spirits caught yesterday

462
00:28:10,340 --> 00:28:12,060
have all been put in the Prison.

463
00:28:12,340 --> 00:28:13,500
The unrest in the Void

464
00:28:13,710 --> 00:28:14,780
has been quelled for now.

465
00:28:15,470 --> 00:28:17,150
Yan Ke is right there in Youzhou.

466
00:28:17,870 --> 00:28:19,710
I'll take him down myself.

467
00:28:20,430 --> 00:28:21,580
I have my own plans

468
00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:23,870
for the Mortal World.

469
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:53,260
Xiaoxiao.

470
00:28:58,390 --> 00:28:59,710
Xiaoxiao.

471
00:30:41,870 --> 00:30:42,710
Xiaoxiao!

472
00:30:44,020 --> 00:30:44,990
Xiaoxiao.

473
00:30:45,780 --> 00:30:46,620
Xiaoxiao.

474
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:48,990
Xiaoxiao!

475
00:30:49,630 --> 00:30:51,020
I just want to follow you.

476
00:30:51,020 --> 00:30:53,150
I can eat less.

477
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:56,100
You took care of me.

478
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,190
Now I have money.

479
00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:58,030
I'll take care of you.

480
00:30:59,230 --> 00:31:00,910
Xiaoxiao is a nice person.

481
00:31:01,540 --> 00:31:03,230
She would never make me kill anyone!

those who always protect others

you're a magician.

(Tomb of My Brother Xue Chenying)

509
00:34:41,350 --> 00:34:42,220
Simu,

510
00:34:42,220 --> 00:34:43,430
it's been a long time.

511
00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:46,580
You finally dared to come
out of the Glazed Pagoda.

512
00:34:47,790 --> 00:34:49,020
Try to trap me

513
00:34:49,580 --> 00:34:50,910
in this little formation?

514
00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:53,950
This is especially for you.

515
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:56,270
It's not perfect yet.

516
00:34:56,500 --> 00:34:58,620
But trapping you for a little while

517
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:00,020
will suffice.

518
00:35:09,620 --> 00:35:10,500
Now.

519
00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:12,580
It is time.

520
00:35:37,390 --> 00:35:38,270
The formation blocks

521
00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:39,270
He Simu's aura.

522
00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:42,310
The blessed flower won't work.

523
00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:45,870
What are you plotting?

524
00:35:48,830 --> 00:35:50,310
Her vital gate is in the Lantern.

525
00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:53,350
Maybe we can use that

526
00:35:54,140 --> 00:35:55,020
to exchange senses.

527
00:36:06,580 --> 00:36:07,660
I need a blessed flower

528
00:36:07,660 --> 00:36:08,500
to exchange senses.

529
00:36:10,500 --> 00:36:11,790
This is the last one.

530
00:36:12,990 --> 00:36:13,950
After it activates,

531
00:36:14,470 --> 00:36:15,910
the spell must be done

532
00:36:15,910 --> 00:36:16,750
within a short while.

533
00:36:17,220 --> 00:36:18,310
Or it will be useless.

534
00:36:18,620 --> 00:36:19,460
Duan Xu,

535
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:20,540
don't be stupid.

536
00:36:23,220 --> 00:36:24,350
Are you scared, Your Grace?

537
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,580
When you gave up on me,

538
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:28,910
did you see this coming?

539
00:36:58,100 --> 00:36:58,950
You ant!

540
00:36:59,470 --> 00:37:00,660
How dare you grab the Lantern?

541
00:37:17,700 --> 00:37:18,910
A human can also

542
00:37:18,910 --> 00:37:19,910
use the Spirits Lantern.

543
00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:21,350
Yan Ke,

544
00:37:22,500 --> 00:37:23,660
I have to thank you

545
00:37:23,660 --> 00:37:25,790
for the spirit power you gave me.

546
00:37:54,750 --> 00:37:55,590
Duan Xu.

547
00:38:05,020 --> 00:38:05,860
Simu.

548
00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:09,310
Sorry.

549
00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:11,470
I failed to help you

550
00:38:11,470 --> 00:38:12,790
get back the Lantern.

551
00:38:55,020 --> 00:38:55,860
Great Ancestor.

552
00:39:00,990 --> 00:39:02,060
I'll leave you alone.

553
00:39:12,750 --> 00:39:13,910
You spat blood

554
00:39:16,830 --> 00:39:18,390
because of the sense exchange,

555
00:39:20,540 --> 00:39:21,380
didn't you?

556
00:39:25,750 --> 00:39:27,470
Why did you keep it from me?

557
00:39:29,870 --> 00:39:30,870
If I had told you,

558
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:37,750
you wouldn't

559
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:38,790
exchange senses anymore.

560
00:39:43,470 --> 00:39:45,390
Then you couldn't feel the colors,

561
00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:48,060
warmth,

562
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:50,980
scent,

563
00:39:52,830 --> 00:39:53,670
or melody.

564
00:39:57,700 --> 00:39:58,540
Too bad, then.

565
00:40:03,220 --> 00:40:04,100
