[Fate Chooses You]

[Episode 38]

Senior Bai.

If the heart is bound,

no matter how high your realm is

or how strong your power is,

you won't be happy.

If the heart is free,

everything is free,

even if your realm falls,

you have no immortal perception,

or you are a mortal.

If the Crazy Taoist's prophecy

is true

that among those born on September 9th,

there really is a savior,

then I believe that person

must be you.

S-S-Senior Bai.

Senior Bai.

Senior Bai!

Good riddance.

He deserved it!

Do you want to die too?

I want you to die alongside Senior Bai!

What happened?

Someone has activated the Mountain-Guarding Formation

and isolated this place from the outside world.

Without new vitality intake,

the divine Jianmu Tree

can't continue to grow.

I'll go.

Even with so little power,

you summoned me.

You feel bad,

and I feel bad too.

I've made a decision,

and I should let you know.

Have you really decided?

I have.

Then just do it.

From now on,

I won't be myself anymore.

And I won't have my memories.

I am just a piece of wood.

Because I gained your power,

I'm able to walk in this world.

To be able to see this beautiful world,

I am very content.

Thank you.

Whether you have your memories or not,

we will definitely meet again.

I hope

we will meet again in the future.

And then tell me

the things I've forgotten.

You finally came back.

I knew it.

No one

can resist supreme power.

Now,

what did you come for?

I need power.

Is that so?

That's not what you said

last time.

You said

you wanted to see the color of the sky,

taste delicious food,

sleep peacefully,

feel pain,

and like ordinary people,

go through the cycle of life and death,

living a peaceful and stable life.

Why?

Do you regret it?

Had enough of an ordinary life?

Then,

what do you want now?

Supreme power?

Highest status?

Or do you want,

like your ancestors,

to use absolute power

to reign above all living things

and become the master of this world?

I can help you with that.

No.

No?

I have gotten my wish

and lived an ordinary life.

I've seen

the blue sky

and the most beautiful colors

in the world.

I have tasted delicious food,

can sleep peacefully,

and have had happiness.

From now on,

how should I address you?

I can't call you Lord Lu

or Mr. Lu anymore.

So from now on,

I'll call you this.

Qianqiao.

Qianqiao.

Your cultivation was stagnant before,

so you wanted to

live in Wei County with me.

Now that you are

a Nascent Soul cultivator,

have you changed your mind?

No.

I still want to live in Wei County with you.

When the time comes,

we will open a clinic.

You treat patients and save people,

and I'll help you

from the side.

Didn't you say that,

after finishing the fate

of Curse of Five Deficiencies,

you could drink the best wine

and have the most delicious food

in the biggest restaurant in the capital?

Although

it's not completely over yet,

today is your birthday.

So I prepared this on my own.

May you

be like flowers and leaves,

year after year,

sharing the spring breeze.

Forever cherish the joy of spring with a smile,

and dwell in the world as a timeless, longevity immortal.

I also have a lover, friends,

and family.

I almost live

the stable life of an ordinary person.

I am very satisfied.

The person I am now

wants to protect it all.

Protect?

I am in trouble.

I need great power

to protect all of this.

You have to understand.

To become a Perfect War Demon,

you have to sacrifice all your memories.

The good or the bad ones.

The tender or the painful ones.

You will become a completely new person.

You will no longer be you.

A person

is shaped

by past experiences.

Losing your memory

means the original you

has completely disappeared.

You will no longer love your beloved,

nor cherish all of this anymore.

Even if my memories are gone,

even if I am gone,

as long as this heart is here,

everything remains.

Like a dead pine tree,

no matter how many new shoots it grows,

it can never become a poplar tree.

I believe

a Perfect War Demon with power,

even without all memories,

will still do

the right thing.

You and your ancestors

are not the same.

I hope you succeed.

Thank you.

After my Ghost Covering Eyes was lifted,

I suddenly realized something.

What is it?

I realized

I like you even more.

If one day,

you are also hit by Ghost Covering Eyes,

will you forget me

completely

and not remember me at all?

How could that happen?

What if?

Sheng.

I am not her.

Void Stage.

Your realm improved

quite fast.

Yes.

Otherwise, how can I kill you

to avenge Sheng?

I am inside her body now.

Killing me

means killing her.

Aren't you two as close as sisters?

Can you bear to do it?

Come on.

Get out of her body.

Childish.

Get out of her body!

Junior Jiang!

Kill him!

Junior Jiang!

Fighting with me,

yet you dare to be distracted?

What should we do?

You have the strength of the Void Stage,

but you can only be beaten with your hands tied.

Aren't you doomed to die?

What's with that look?

You are Sheng's Senior Sister.

Logically, you should call me Aunt.

How can you be so disrespectful

when seeing an elder?

You don't deserve to be an elder.

Worse than beasts,

you bring ruin to your descendants.

She was originally very obedient.

I guess she must have picked up bad habits from you.

How should I punish you?

Sheng.

Sheng.

This rebellious child.

You actually dared to resist me.

Do you think hiding in the spiritual sea

means I can't do anything to you?

Sheng.

Three to the left, 7 to the right; 9 upon the crown, 1 beneath the feet.

Two and 4 as shoulders, 6 and 8 as limbs.

Five abides in the central palace, filling its core.

Enter meditation.

Sheng?

Sheng?

Sheng?

Sheng?

Sheng?

Sheng?

Senior!

[Sheng's Spiritual Sea]

Sheng?

Sheng?

Sheng?

Sheng.

Senior.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

He didn't die.

He turned into a blood crow,

hid inside me,

and controlled my body.

The one who attacked you earlier

was also him.

I know.

So what if you know?

I want your life!

Xin Mei.

Sheng.

Old cur,

die!

Great Completion Stage.

The thing Li Mofu works on

is not bad.

Using a cultivator's immortal perception as a tonic

is such a great method.

Why didn't I think of this before?

Sheng,

you really are my good child.

I originally thought

that giving birth to a baby girl back then

was due to my powers failing.

Until I entered your body,

did I realize

that you are just like me,

both born with an innate spiritual body.

Good.

This is very good.

Crazy Taoist's calculation was right.

I indeed have an offspring

who can ascend to godhood.

And that person

is you.

It's a pity

that your immortal destiny has been intercepted by me.

I will take over your body,

seek the great Dao,

and become an immortal.

I will live as long as the heavens

and shine like the sun.

An animal like you

wants to ascend to godhood?

In your dreams!

You don't understand.

Do you think all gods

are just and holy?

Don't be silly.

The only difference between gods and humans

is simply

the level of their power.

Sheng,

actually, we are no different.

I am different!

I am different.

Sheng.

I am different.

There's no use talking to him.

You are different.

I am different.

Right.

You are different.

Do you remember the poem

Master told us?

"All things must come to an end—

only when the sun sets does the moon rise."

"As I descend the mountain path,

others will still rise to climb it."

Right.

Let's send him down!

Okay.

Sheng!

Senior,

get out!

Sheng!

Sheng!

Sheng.

Sheng!

Senior,

hurry.

Kill me.

I'm losing control of him.

If he gets out,

we'll all die!

Sheng.

No.

Senior, hurry!

No.

No way.

Lord of Rust-Sword,

is your sword

just scrap iron for chopping vegetables?

Do it! Kill me!

I'm sorry.

Senior,

do it.

I can't hold on much longer.

Senior,

do it.

Do it. Do it.

Do it, Senior!

Sheng.

Sheng! Sheng!

Sheng.

Sheng.

Sheng.

Senior,

don't cry.

Sheng.

Don't cry.

What should we do?

How can I save you?

What can I do to save you?

Sheng,

I can't save you.

Sheng.

You should be happy for me.

I have avenged myself.

Xia Xuanzi is finally dead.

I have no regrets.

Sheng, don't say that.

Don't say that.

Senior.

I didn't believe in ghosts or gods before,

but after I met you,

I started to believe.

I always feel

that if there are truly gods

in this world,

they must be

just like you, Senior.

Sheng.

Don't sleep.

I will take you home.

Let's go back to Xin Xie Manor.

Let's go home,

okay?

Sheng.

Don't cry.

Don't cry, Senior.

Senior.

I really,

really can't bear to leave you.

I hope you will be happy.

Senior,

I don't want to ascend to the sky,

nor do I want to be an immortal.

I just want to stay in Xin Xie Manor.

Do you like Lu Qianqiao?

If you like him, then so be it.

I didn't like him before

because his power was too strong,

and I was afraid you'd get hurt.

Now he is just

a Foundation Establishment cultivator,

and he will continue to fall.

He can't beat me at all.

If he fails you,

I will kill him with my sword.

Senior.

Let's go back to Xin Xie Manor.

I want to go home.

The fish we raised in the pond last year

should be plump by now.

I want to eat your grilled fish.

Let's go back to Xin Xie Manor, okay?

You want to die too?

Death?

Why fear death?

In this battle,

haven't enough people died?

Master,

Junior,

fellow disciples,

and innocent people

all died because of your ambition.

You've harmed so many people.

Shouldn't the one who deserves death

the most be you?

Your master was a Great Completion cultivator.

Even he couldn't beat me.

Can you?

Even if I can't, I must fight!

How could this happen?

Lord of Rust-Sword,

do you remember what your master

told you?

In your life,

you must travel 60,000 li,

raise your sword against enemies 99,000 times,

-and draw blood 36,000 times -And draw blood 36,000 times

-before the rust fades -Before the rust fades

-and the divine light reappears! -And the divine light reappears!

I succeeded.

I succeeded.

I succeeded!

Had I known you would

cause such a disaster,

I shouldn't have let you

leave Tianyuan Sect alive.

Can a person whose sword is broken

still fight?

A person with a broken sword can fight,

but a person with a broken heart can hardly win.

Sect Master,

you want to become a god,

but do you know what a god is?

Hou Yi shot down 9 suns

to relieve the people from drought.

Kuafu perished,

but his body turned into the world

to bless all living beings.

They were humans.

They were fearless,

courageous,

and righteous,

honored as gods by the world.

But what about you?

You are selfish,

sinister, and ruthless.

You have no regard for the weak

and no care for the people.

With such a heart,

do you deserve to become a god?

Shut up!

Why are all of you

so annoying?

First Bai, and now you.

You always talk to me about

the so-called morality of the common people.

Do you know

how ridiculous the path

you insist on is?

Do you really think

it's because the heavenly ladder is severed

that you can't ascend to godhood?

Have you ever thought

that if the heavenly ladder

and deities were still here,

they would only strike you with heavenly lightning,

burn you with heavenly fire,

completely destroy your soul,

and condemn you to eternal damnation?

Fine.

You had a chance to live, yet you refused it.

Since you're so eager to die,

I'll grant your wish.

So,

to become a Perfect War Demon,

one has to pay the price.

That's right.

A Perfect War Demon

needs to sacrifice all their memories.

From then on,

everything in the past

will vanish like smoke.

Those cherished

and precious people and things

will all be erased

and never be recalled again.

In other words,

a Perfect War Demon

is a completely new person,

a person

with no past.
