<i>Episode 33</i>

18
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,950
Mi'er, just look around.

19
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:47,580
Mi'er, you just got back from your trials in the Mortal Realm. Stay here in Luo River Palace for the night.

20
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:52,410
Regarding Rou Rou,  I will update you if I get any news.

21
00:02:52,410 --> 00:02:55,580
This room was prepared by your father for you.

22
00:02:55,580 --> 00:03:00,200
He was thinking that you should have a place to stay in here in Heavenly Realm once you've been promoted to a <i>shangxian</i>.

23
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,660
We didn't know that you'll be back earlier,

24
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:05,420
hence, I just hastily set up the interior.

25
00:03:05,420 --> 00:03:10,130
Auntie Lin Xiu, I like it a lot. Thank you.

26
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:12,360
Thank you, father.

27
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,080
Jin Mi this time has successfully been promoted to a <i>shangxian</i>.

28
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,750
The date of her marriage with Eldest Highness has also been set. These were supposed to be two happy occasions arriving at the same time.

29
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:32,200
But how come you keep frowning and being sad?

30
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,860
Are you worried about those things that happened between Jin Mi

31
00:03:36,860 --> 00:03:39,860
and Second Highness in the Mortal Realm?

32
00:03:40,510 --> 00:03:41,810
Indeed.

33
00:03:41,810 --> 00:03:45,000
Second Highness indeed was a bit rash in his actions.

34
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,450
We won't be able to avoid those gossips.

35
00:03:48,450 --> 00:03:52,170
But I believe that Jin Mi is a child with a sense of propriety.

36
00:03:52,170 --> 00:03:56,600
Moreover, she and Eldest Highness initially have mutual affection for each other.

37
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,420
In the future, she'll eventually understand

38
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:02,150
that what happened between her and Second Highness in the Mortal Realm

39
00:04:02,150 --> 00:04:05,220
was just like a white steed flitting past a crack (fleeting), just a dream.

40
00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:09,790
Once she gives it some deep thinking, she'll make the right choice.

41
00:04:09,790 --> 00:04:13,780
Hope so. Jin Mi still doesn't know

42
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,460
that Heavenly Empress is her mother's killer.

43
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:20,590
If the two of them end up together, with Jin Mi's personality,

44
00:04:20,590 --> 00:04:23,560
she surely won't be able to face it.

45
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,030
It's better to not let Jin Mi know this.

46
00:04:28,030 --> 00:04:30,930
Let's just first look at how she'll choose.

47
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,060
No!

48
00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,210
There's too much killing.

49
00:04:41,210 --> 00:04:46,720
Your Majesty, you can't still have feelings for that seductress, right?

50
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,720
No such thing. Heavenly Empress, stop bringing up the past.

51
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,490
But that seductress' hand has already extended up to the Ninth Sky Level.

52
00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:59,500
She ordered Rat Immortal to kill Xu Feng during his rebirth.

53
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:04,040
In this battle at Dongting, I personally found out that she's holding more than 10,000 army.

54
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,760
She schemed to turn our Heavenly Realm upside down. It's really bringing me shivers.

55
00:05:09,490 --> 00:05:12,700
Although Su Li committed a heinous crime,

56
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,110
annihilating a clan is a bit too much as a punishment.

57
00:05:16,110 --> 00:05:19,360
Doing that will affect the reputation of our Heavenly Realm.

58
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,490
Your Majesty, don't forget.

59
00:05:21,490 --> 00:05:25,090
Several years ago, the Arowana Clan has already been annihilated

60
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:28,350
except for Su Li. And in just several thousands of years,

61
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:30,550
she's able to cause these many troubles again.

62
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:33,700
If you employ the kindness of a woman,

63
00:05:33,700 --> 00:05:35,730
and let these Dongting remnants go,

64
00:05:35,730 --> 00:05:38,970
that will be 30,000 Su Li then.

65
00:05:38,970 --> 00:05:42,410
The more you shouldn't forget that by our side,

66
00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:45,430
there is still Su Li' biological child.

67
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:49,630
By then, a collusion from the inside with outside—

68
00:05:49,630 --> 00:05:52,490
Run Yu, grew up under my care.

69
00:05:52,490 --> 00:05:55,020
You know very well how his temperament is.

70
00:05:55,020 --> 00:05:58,640
He might be innocent, but he's guilty from inviting other people's greed.

71
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,730
Your Majesty should know

72
00:06:00,730 --> 00:06:05,230
that wild ambitions can be developed, as long as the conditions are right.

73
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:08,430
If Your Majesty wants to preserve both sons,

74
00:06:08,430 --> 00:06:13,330
you then must make a decision to forever be rid of future troubles.

75
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:17,720
Heavenly Empress is helping to share my burden.

76
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,090
Of course, I must support you all the way.

77
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:26,290
It's just that the Heavenly Realm has been at peace for so long. Inflexible administration of justice will invite a lot of criticisms.

78
00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:30,990
Your Majesty need not do it personally. For matters like this,

79
00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:34,130
just entrust it to me.

80
00:06:34,130 --> 00:06:36,140
I'm just worried

81
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:40,120
that doing this will taint your reputation.

82
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,080
For our two sons, for the tens of thousands of years of foundation of our Heavenly Realm,

83
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,790
I'll be a bad person this one time then.

84
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,830
I understand.

85
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,990
<i>Xu Feng, I will surely forever eliminate future troubles for you.</i>

<i>[Immortal Su Li's Memorial Tablet]</i>

89
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:06,180
Your Highness!

90
00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:12,330
You came just in time. Call Li'er and Yan You over to pay respect to mother.

91
00:08:12,330 --> 00:08:15,260
They got taken away by the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

92
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:17,960
What?

93
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,890
Heavenly Empress is going to implement the Heavenly Law on the 30,000 water tribe members of Dongting Lake.

94
00:08:21,890 --> 00:08:23,740
When will the execution happen?

95
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:28,970
I fear that Thunder God and Lightning Goddess have already accepted the command and went there.

96
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,630
Father Emperor.

97

<i>[Immortal Su Li's Memorial Tablet]</i>

98
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,190
Father Emperor, this concerns the lives of 30,000 Dongting living things.

99
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:46,560
They are innocent. My mo...

100
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:53,050
Su Li has been sentenced. Heavenly Empress' action is too violent and bloody.

101
00:08:53,050 --> 00:08:55,390
I beg you to save them!

102
00:08:55,390 --> 00:08:58,750
I'm willing to vouch that they won't create anymore trouble in the future.

103
00:08:58,750 --> 00:09:04,050
Heavenly Empress is just acting according to the will of the heaven. Su Li rebelled and committed an unpardonable crime.

104
00:09:04,050 --> 00:09:07,160
We should do the punishments according to the law. It's just that there will be too much killing.

105
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,470
I also couldn't bear to do it.

106
00:09:09,470 --> 00:09:14,130
Heavenly Empress volunteered to be the executioner, so how could I refuse?

107
00:09:14,130 --> 00:09:17,300
As my eldest son, you mustn't be the first one to break the law.

108
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:20,020
- But Father Emperor—
 Okay already.

109
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,760
Leave first.

110
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,190
Thunder God and Lightning Goddess aren't in the execution area and are instead here inside Cloud Nine Palace.

111
00:09:55,190 --> 00:10:00,150
Looks like the person that Mother Empress wants to punish is me, right?

112
00:10:00,150 --> 00:10:04,680
Those 30,000 Dongting Lake remnants

113
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,170
should all be punished, but for whom did they do it?

114
00:10:08,170 --> 00:10:11,580
Shouldn't you be punished with them too?

115
00:10:11,580 --> 00:10:16,100
They are all innocent creatures without any means to defend themselves.

116
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:18,090
I beg Mother Empress to let them go.

117
00:10:18,090 --> 00:10:20,200
Mother Empress?

118
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,700
That day, who was the one who said that he'll kill me

119
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:29,060
to seek vengeance for his birth mother?

120
00:10:29,060 --> 00:10:34,870
The Night Deity then was so awe-inspiring, so overbearing.

121
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:38,800
But today, what? Not strong anymore?

122
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:48,640
I was wrong. If Mother Empress wants to punish anyone, just punish me.

123
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,480
But those 30,000 Dongting water tribesmen are innocent.

124
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,790
Those 30,000 remnants and your mother

125
00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:57,450
all harbored evil intentions and schemed to rebel.

126
00:10:57,450 --> 00:11:00,310
They wanted to turn Heavenly Realm upside down, hence, they are deserving to die.

127
00:11:00,310 --> 00:11:05,350
Laws don't punish intentions. It only looks at the act. Even if my mother had misgivings,

128
00:11:05,350 --> 00:11:08,630
she never truly rebelled yet. It was Mother Empress who first—

129
00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:10,600
Shut up!

130
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,480
You tried to kill Xu Feng,

131
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,720
privately created an army, and intended to rebel.

132
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,870
Those crimes are punishable by death! I should be killing you now.

133
00:11:21,870 --> 00:11:28,500
Yes. I was wrong. I beg Mother Empress to have mercy.

134
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:33,410
Night Deity, what mistake did you commit?

135
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:50,000
<i>Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com</i>

136
00:11:52,660 --> 00:11:53,940
Big Brother!

Li'er. Yan You.

138
00:11:58,100 --> 00:11:59,770
Mother Empress.

139
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:07,550
Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, how should the allies of Su Li be punished?

140
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Based on the law, they should be executed using the Heavenly Thunder, Lightning, and Fire Punishment.

141
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,920
Okay.

142
00:12:18,700 --> 00:12:21,210
- Proceed with the punishment.
- Wait!

143
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,550
I was wrong. I was unfilial and disrespectful to Mother Empress.

144
00:12:28,550 --> 00:12:34,590
But...my mother is already dead. They won't be able to incite any wind or waves (troubles).

145
00:12:34,590 --> 00:12:38,800
I earnestly ask Mother Empress to be considerate and let them live.

146
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,340
I so want to see

147

if you're really a person of virtue and pure kindness,

148

or just pretentious.

149
00:12:50,110 --> 00:12:53,500
Su Li tried to kill Xu Feng and has committed a heinous crime.

150
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:57,780
She should be executed. Isn't it?

151
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,590
Isn't it?

152
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,680
Yes.

153
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:14,620
Run Ru, you asshole!

154
00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:19,140
Godmother has been worried about you for these past thousands of years. You don't deserve to be her son!

155
00:13:19,140 --> 00:13:23,900
Then now, are you begging me as Night Deity,

156
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:28,820
or as a remnant of Dongting Lake atoning for his crimes,

157
00:13:28,820 --> 00:13:34,940
or maybe begging as the lone survivor of the Arowana Clan?

158
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,580
I...

159
00:13:40,500 --> 00:13:42,210
I...

160
00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:49,170
Godmother never acknowledged you as her son. Quickly leave now!

161
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:58,540
Yan You!

162
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,930
A mother's debt should be paid by her children. I'll pay for my birth mother's mistakes.

163
00:14:09,930 --> 00:14:12,950
I beg Mother Empress to stop venting your anger on others.

164
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,190
Fine then. I'm not that unreasonable.

165
00:14:21,190 --> 00:14:24,140
I'll give you two choices.

166
00:14:24,140 --> 00:14:28,220
Either you clearly separate yourself from the remnants of Dongting

167
00:14:28,220 --> 00:14:30,650
and personally give them their execution,

168
00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:34,280
or you suffer the punishment in behalf of these remnants

169
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,770
and atone for the crimes of your birth mother.

170
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,280
I...was wrong.

171
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,520
I am willing to use one life in exchange of another.

172
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,850
Run Yu!

173
00:14:58,850 --> 00:15:03,150
Okay. Good thing you know to submit to the circumstances.

174
00:15:03,150 --> 00:15:06,370
I can't betray my birth mother and her clan anymore.

175
00:15:06,370 --> 00:15:09,520
I'm willing to bear all the crimes by myself.

176
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,760
Thunder God and Lightning Goddess. Thunder God, your Pond Stunning Heaven Thunder,

177
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,410
and Lighting Goddess' Unbounded Lightning,

178
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:21,750
plus my Lotus Seat Karma Fire,

179
00:15:21,750 --> 00:15:24,900
even Qiong Qi before wasn't able to endure it.

180
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:28,820
Don't know if Night Deity today can survive

181
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:32,390
this 30,000-level extremely intense torture.

182
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,370
May Mother Empress punish me.

183
00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:43,210
Okay. Thunder God and Lightning Goddess, start the punishment.

184
00:15:43,210 --> 00:15:46,250
Heavenly Empress, this is the Cloud Nine Palace.

185
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:49,760
And Eldest Highness is after all Heavenly Emperor's son.

186
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:52,990
Start the punishment!

187
00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:21,990
Big Brother!

188
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,400
I initially thought that he has a calmer temperament and is different from Xu Feng.

189
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,790
Never thought, he also was this rash.

190
00:16:47,790 --> 00:16:50,950
My hand and feet feel like their broken into fine pieces.

191
00:16:50,950 --> 00:16:53,760
My body form is like a shattered jade.

192
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,610
Scorching, the karma fire burns.

193
00:16:56,610 --> 00:16:59,950
Surging, the bloody ocean irrigates.

194
00:16:59,950 --> 00:17:02,860
Obscurely, the spring stage weeps.

195
00:17:02,860 --> 00:17:06,590
Separating, the white bone is emptied.

196
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,590
Mother!

197
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:30,180
Hearing is...obeying, calling for Buddha.

198
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,020
Who dare to be lax?!

199
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,500
Run Yu!

200
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,890
- Big Brother!
- Run Yu!

201
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:10,630
- Quickly wake up! Wake up, Big Brother.
- Run Yu, quickly wake up! Wake up!

202
00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:12,730
Quickly wake up!

203
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,160
Heavenly Empress, you evil bitch! The person who tried to kill your son is me!

204
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,380
Vent your anger at me!

205
00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:29,530
Totally disregarding everything.

206
00:18:29,530 --> 00:18:31,530
Big Brother.

207
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,130
Heavenly Empress, in the Heavenly Thunder, Lightning, and Fire Punishment, there's no Crystal Pure Fire.

208
00:18:37,130 --> 00:18:41,610
If you use the Crystal Pure Fire, Night Deity will surely die. You mustn't.

209
00:18:41,610 --> 00:18:46,090
Why don't I save the Crystal Pure Fire for you two?

210
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,400
What did Night Deity do wrong that Heavenly Empress will take the laws into you own hands and aim to kill him?

211
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,970
Water Deity, you harbored a criminal.

212
00:19:06,970 --> 00:19:10,410
I am already magnanimous for not going after you about it.

213
00:19:10,410 --> 00:19:12,480
Stop pushing your luck.

214
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,200
What then must be done to a person who tried to kill the son of the Heavenly Emperor?

215
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,490
Run Yu disobeyed the command first.

216
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:22,650
He also volunteered to accept the punishment for those 30,000 remaining rebels.

217
00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:24,330
How is this my fault?

218
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:27,190
<i>All of you, stop it now!</i>

219
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,590
Greetings, Your Majesty.

220
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:34,530
Men, go to South Heavenly Gate and promulgate my decree.

221
00:19:34,530 --> 00:19:38,700
The mastermind Su Li committed a heinous crime and has already been executed.

222
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:44,060
The Dongting water tribes were blackmailed by her, hence, their actions were understandable.

223
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:46,030
You all committed a crime for the first time.

224
00:19:46,030 --> 00:19:49,790
I will especially pardon you. Hope you all can turn over a new leaf

225
00:19:49,790 --> 00:19:53,740
and be loyal to the Heavenly Realm. If you dare commit a crime again, I surely will strictly punish you.

226
00:19:53,740 --> 00:19:55,480
I will abide.

227
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,150
You get to be the good man here.

228
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Night Deity.

229
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:17,190
I...thank the heaven's graces...

230
00:20:17,190 --> 00:20:21,170
...in behalf of...

231
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,540
...36,400 creatures in Dongting Lake.

232
00:20:28,690 --> 00:20:33,580
May Mother Empress give the order to let them go.

233
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,170
Heavenly Empress, deal with the aftermath.

234
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:05,580
The 30,000-level Heavenly Punishment is 10 times more harder to bear than dismembering a body.

235
00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:09,510
The more is it unbearable to recover from it. If I'm you,

236
00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:13,880
I'd rather destroy my own internal energy pellet and just end all my troubles.

237
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,740
Mother Empress, don't worry. I surely won't die.

238
00:21:18,740 --> 00:21:22,300
I surely will continue living well.

239
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:27,960
I must personally see you fulfill your <i>shangshen</i> oath

240
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,500
of letting them all go.

241
00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,840
Not being fickle.

242
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,830
Big Brother.

243
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:52,410
<i>[Xuanji Palace]</i>

244
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:54,690
Your Highness!

245
00:21:54,690 --> 00:21:56,390
Run Yu.

246
00:21:57,900 --> 00:21:59,960
Run Yu might not last long.

247
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,560
Mother...I'm so cold...

248
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:10,000
So cold...

249
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,690
Your Highness...

250
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800
Brother Yun Yu.

251
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:28,300
Mother...

252
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,400
Mother...

253
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,200
Mother...

254
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,800
So hot...

255
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,800
His Highness once said

256
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,400
that if you lose too much blood

257
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,800
and is cold to the most extreme level,

258
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,700
you will instead feel hot as if your organs are being burned.

259
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,200
Mother...

260
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,400
Your Majesty, you agreed to give me full power in handling this matter.

261
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,400
But at the last moment, you got soft-hearted.

262
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,000
You get to be the good man and I get to be the evil one.

263
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,800
If I allowed it to continue, causing the heaven to be mad, the god to bear grudges,

264
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,800
the public raging with criticisms, what good can that bring us?

265
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,400
Who can you blame?

266
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,000
It's all your fault for spoiling him.

267
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
When things become critical, he instead bit me back.

268
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,400
He didn't acknowledge me as his Mother Empress

269
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,000
and instead acknowledged that birth mother of his, who has committed a heinous crime.

270
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,300
After the battle in Dongting, he wanted to protect

271
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:49,600
even those remnant rebels. If this continues,

272
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,900
I fear that he'll be turning this Heavenly Realm upside down.

273
00:23:52,900 --> 00:23:55,600
With me here, he won't be able to do that.

274
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,300
There is a difference between a legitimate blood line, and an illegitimate one.

275
00:23:57,300 --> 00:24:01,800
Who is more important between Xu Feng and Run Ru, I know it very well.

276
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,300
I will remember your words.

277
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:08,700
Hope Your Majesty won't forget it too.

278
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:31,500
Your Highness, you're finally awake.

279
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,900
Did Heavenly Empress let them go?

280
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,050
Don't you care about your life at all?

281
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:49,000
I've once promised mother

282
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,600
that I'll take good care of Li'er.

283
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,000
There are thousands of Li'er in Dongting Lake.

284
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,400
That Li'er who once lived in Li Pond

285
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,000
has experienced how it is to be under other people's roof for thousands of years.

286
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,000
I don't want them to repeat my path.

287
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,800
For Night Deity to place oneself in other people's position and be this considerate

288
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,300
is really the great fortune of Dongting Lake.

289
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:16,600
Deity.

290
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,600
You're badly injured.

291
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,600
Just quickly lie down.

292
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,500
Deity, I have a request.

293
00:25:29,370 --> 00:25:33,630
My power is little and my strength too thin. I'm unable to contend with Heavenly Empress.

294
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,600
May Deity be benevolent.

295
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,000
I earnestly ask you to take care

296
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,200
of those Dongting water tribes that became destitute and homeless.

297
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:47,300
Don't worry. I surely will do my best.

298
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,920
Since that day in Dongting Lake,

299
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,600
I've already determined to fight with Heavenly Empress until the end.

300
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,400
Thank you, Deity.

301
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,600
Kuang Luo, Deity,

302
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,810
please don't tell

303
00:26:06,810 --> 00:26:09,000
anyone about

304
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:12,600
me getting hurt, especially Mi'er.

305
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:17,750
I don't want her to get worried. The more I don't want...

306
00:26:18,900 --> 00:26:22,200
...I don't want her to see me...

307
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,400
...at such an ugly state.

308
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,100
<i>Promise me.</i>

309
00:26:58,150 --> 00:27:00,280
<i>Don't be sad for me.</i>

310
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,800
<i>Rou Rou!</i>

311
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,800
<i>Rou Rou!</i>

312
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,800
<i>Rou Rou!</i>

313
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,100
<i>I must find out who the perpetrator is</i>

314
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,200
<i>and seek vengeance for you.</i>

315
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,100
<i>Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com</i>

316
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,400
<i>After 3 months, we'll choose an auspicious date</i>

317
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,800
<i>to complete the marriage between Jin Mi and Run Yu.</i>

318
00:28:28,170 --> 00:28:31,180
Stimulate oneself, but control your presence of mind.

319
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,200
How many times have I taught you that?

320
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,000
You just are unable to learn it.

321
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Now, you and Heavenly Empress are in an irreconcilable state.

322
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,400
You're making things difficult for me.

323
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,000
Heavenly Empress indeed went a bit overboard,

324
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
but she was just following my order.

325
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,600
You disobeying Heavenly Empress is disobeying me.

326
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,500
Just treat everything that happened in Cloud Nine Palace

327
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,800
as a lesson.

328
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,000
I admit my mistake.

329
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,300
I...have already pardoned the Dongting water tribes.

330
00:29:06,300 --> 00:29:10,400
The matter today concerned the reputation of the Heavenly Realm.

331
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,800
About the matter of you bearing the punishment of Heavenly Thunder, Lighting, and Fire for the Dongtime remnants,

332
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,800
you mustn't mention it to anyone in the future. Understand?

333
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,000
Yes.

334
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,800
Okay. Make a <i>shangshen</i> oath then.

335
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,600
I swear that as long as from now on,

336
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,000
Father Emperor and Mother Empress won't mention this matter again,

337
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,600
won't go after it, this matter will end here.

338
00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:40,900
I will never mention it again.

339
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,600
Father Emperor, my mother...

340
00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:51,750
...is she really that evil and unforgivable?

341
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,400
This matter has already been given proper judgment.

342
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,600
No need to discuss it anymore. As a <i>shangshen</i>,

343
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,200
Don't be obsessed with material things. Don't get disturbed by affection.

344
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,400
You still have to improve your cultivation.

345
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,000
Don't worry. Your birth mother's matter has nothing to do with you.

346
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,800
I never expected that

347
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,900
one day, you'd dare disobey Heavenly Empress.

348
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,400
I admit my mistake.

349
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,000
I wasn't able to consider things properly at that time.

350
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
I didn't immediately rush there earlier

351
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,800
because I was testing you too.

352
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,600
Never thought that even if I've lost the horse, I was able to obtain a blessing. (blessing in disguise)

353
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,200
From now on, in restricting and balancing the power of Heavenly Empress and the Bird Tribe,

354
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,400
I'm depending on you.

355
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,800
Father Emperor, if I didn't stand out that time,

356
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,000
are you not going to care about the lives of the Dongting creatures at all?

357
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,400
You are still young. Once you've lived for a few tens of thousands years more,

358
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,200
you will then know

359
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,400
mortal life lasts only for a hundred years, but cultivation takes thousands of years.

360
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,600
In the eyes of us <i>shangshen</i>,

361
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,200
they are all no different with a mayfly.

362
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,200
Just a short moment, no meaning at all.

363
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,800
Without them being involved in the blue sea turning into mulberry fields (world transformations), it won't make any difference.

364
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,600
This is what they call 'Heavenly law is heartless'.

365
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,700
In these past thousands of years, at such long immortality path,

366
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,200
has Father Emperor ever been compassionate?

367
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:29,100
I am not afraid to tell you one truth.

368
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,400
A Heavenly Emperor

369
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,100
is the greatest prisoner in this whole heaven and earth.

370
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:11,000
So...my birth...

371
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:15,000
...was just a scheme from the start.

372
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,500
Mother...

373
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,600
Mother, it was me who brought you harm.

374
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,900
I am a sinner!

375
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,700
No.

376
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,400
It's him.  He is the mastermind

377
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,600
of everything that happened in this world.

378
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,800
In your heart,

379
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:56,000
there's totally no father-son, husband-wife, or familial affection.

380
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,000
In your heart, everyone is just a pawn.

381
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:06,600
Heavenly law is heartless?

382
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,500
Father Emperor,

383
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,500
I got schooled.

384
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,200
<i>Live on. Those who are unable to kill you</i>

385
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,500
<i>will only make you stronger.</i>

386
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,700
Where is Mi'er?

387
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,700
She was just mumbling about Rou Rou.

388
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:58,500
I think she's asleep now.

389
00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:01,270
How is Night Deity?

390
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,800
New grudges keep adding to the old. Continuous disaster.

391
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,300
His heart is filled with grievances, but nowhere to express them.

392
00:34:07,300 --> 00:34:11,000
Looks like his grudge with the Heavenly Empress will be difficult to resolve.

393
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Although Heavenly Emperor suppressed today's incident,

394
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,400
it has secretly spread in the Heavenly Realm.

395
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,800
Heavenly Empress's actions have incited public indignation. However, Night Deity

396
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,600
was able to redeem himself.

397
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,400
In the past, I thought that Nighty Deity was gentle and mild.

398
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,800
Turns out, he only brings out his courage for important situations.

399
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,200
He is willing to die a martyr for a noble cause and able to endure things that others can't endure.

400
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,600
His tolerance and his uprightness

401
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,300
are extraordinary.

402
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:44,800
Heavenly Empress revealed her true side and has reached the extreme.

403
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,000
The tides are going to turn. Just watch and see.

404
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,400
Magnolia, what are you doing? What happened?

405
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:06,200
Sister, I am at fault. I committed a great crime.

406
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,600
That day, when people from the Dongting Water Tribe came to find you

407
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,800
and asked to join forces with our Flower Realm to fight against the Heavenly Realm,

408
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,800
I lost my mind,

409
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,300
and believed that person's words in a moment of confusion.

410
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:27,000
Then... Then, I told him Jin Mi's true identity.

411
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
What?

412
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,600
Magnolia, how could you be this muddle-minded?

413
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,400
Thus, during Jin Mi's mortal trial,

414
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,200
people were trying to shoot her with the soul-destroying arrow.

415
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,000
It's all my fault. It's my fault for revealing her identity.

416
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,800
All of this is because of me.

417
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,400
I know that my crimes are grave, so I don't ask for your forgiveness.

418
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,700
I just ask for death in punishment as a way to give thanks to our former master's spirit in heaven.

419
00:35:58,730 --> 00:36:02,460
If you die now, how could you face the former master?

420
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,800
But if I continue living,

421
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,800
how could I face our fellow sisters?

422
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,300
Forget it.

423
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,700
I know your intention.

424
00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:22,800
You just wanted to get revenge for our former master. That's why you made such a mistake.

425
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,000
However, Magnolia,

426
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:30,100
Former Master didn't want us to get revenge because she was afraid of an unending chain of vengeance.

427
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:32,600
Her body already lies with the earth and sky.

428
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,400
The thing she cares the most about is Jin Mi.

429
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,800
Seeing how you've sincerely repented,

430
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:45,200
do not bring up this again. Pretend like it never happened.

431
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,600
Yes.

432
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,400
Promise me that in the future, us sisters will work together

433
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,800
to follow our former master's order to protect Jin Mi.

434
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,900
Yes, eldest sister.

435
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,200
Immortal Jin Mi.

436
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,400
Oh, I should call you High Immortal Jin Mi now.

437
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,600
It's not a big deal.

438
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,000
Are you here to visit His First Highness?

439
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,200
You must not know yet, High Immortal.

440
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,700
Heavenly Empress used "rebellion" as the reason

441
00:37:59,700 --> 00:38:04,600
to execute the birth mother that His First Highness recently reunited with.

442
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600
E-Executed?

443
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,600
After His First Highness's birth mother died,

444
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,000
he hasn't been sleeping or eating.

445
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,600
You should try to urge him. He listens to you the most.

446
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,100
Okay.

447
00:38:32,730 --> 00:38:34,720
Almighty deity.

448
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,300
Mi'er.

449
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:40,000
I just heard that your birth mother passed away.

450
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,600
Although I don't know what happened,

451
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,200
But Little Fish Immortal, you are a very kind person.

452
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:50,200
Your birth mother must be a gentle and virtuous lady.

453
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,400
I just recently remembered my childhood,

454
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,600
I just learned who my birth mother is,

455
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,800
I just recently acknowledged my mother,

456
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,400
but I had to watch her die in front of me,

457
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,800
while I was unable to do anything.

458
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,400
Earlier, I also watched

459
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,900
Rou Rou's soul getting destroyed just to save me.

460
00:39:13,950 --> 00:39:16,790
I also was unable to do anything.

461
00:39:18,170 --> 00:39:21,050
I can understand your feelings.

462
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,200
When Rou Rou left, she told me these words.

463
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,800
She told me to let go. There is this saying in the Mortal Realm,

464
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,000
'The dead is already gone, while the living must continue to live on.'

465
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,600
Your mother surely won't want to see how you are now,

466
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,800
not eating and not sleeping. She won't want you to continue being dispirited.

467
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:49,000
The dead is already gone, while the living must continue to live on.

468
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,600
That's right.

469
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:56,200
I think that it must be because they love us so much,

470
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,300
that's why, they surely won't want to see us sad.

471
00:39:59,300 --> 00:40:01,200
Love?

472
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:21,800
Mi'er, you seem to be a bit different from before.

473
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,900
How am I different?

474
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,000
I heard from Kuang Lu that Father Emperor has set our wedding date.

475
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,800
You...what are your plans?

476
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,200
What are your plans?

477
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,600
<i>If I tell him now that I don't want to,</i>

478
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,600
<i>I'm sure that it will just make him sadder.</i>

479
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:50,930
While mother was alive,

480
00:40:50,930 --> 00:40:55,270
I wasn't able to stay by her sight and give her delight.

481
00:40:56,100 --> 00:40:58,800
Now, mother is dead.

482
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,500
I want to request from Father Emperor to mourn for 3 years.

483
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:03,900
Mi'er,

484
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:07,000
presently, for me,

485
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:11,600
you are the most important person. Are you willing to wait for me?

486
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,600
I...

487
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,800
Accompany me for a while, okay?

488
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,600
<i>Only when you're by my side do I not feel that angry,</i>

489
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,800
<i>not feel that painful.</i>
