Original subtitles

May I be like the stars

and you like the moon.

As long as the world remains,

so shall we.

I only wish to stay with the one I love,

watching every sunrise and sunset.

I want to be with you forever.

Eternals and demons walk different paths.

You and she are ultimately different.

Have you ever

truly cared for me?

No.

Never.

In this life and the next, through all lifetimes…

May we live and die together,

and share life and death as one.

[Moonlight Mystique]

[Episode 32]

She actually broke out of my sea of consciousness.

Impossible!

You're of the Divine Race, but so what?

Didn't you still

lose to my disciple?

You're dead!

Master, are you alright?

I'm good.

I knew there was nothing

that could trap you.

Since you're all here,

none of you are leaving!

Chong Zhao,

take Master and Fu Ling away first.

Be careful!

Let's go!

How did you break out of the sea of consciousness?

I have to thank you for the reminder.

A seal created by divine power

can only be broken by divine power.

Don't forget,

I have the Contemplation Stone in me.

With your power, you could have easily killed me.

Why did you choose to trap me in the sea of consciousness instead

and trick Chong Zhao into killing me?

I told you,

as long as you gave up Bai Shuo,

I'd tell you where the last Contemplation is.

Then you wouldn't have to die,

and we could be together forever.

Why did you still choose her?

Jing Yuan,

I once stayed by your side day and night.

Have you truly forgotten everything?

I'm not Jing Yuan.

I don't care who you are either.

To me,

you've committed too many sins,

and you deserve death.

I deserve death?

I've waited for you for 60,000 years

only to hear this?

You say you're not Jing Yuan,

but what you've always loved

is just Xing Yue's outward appearance!

You've been bewitched by her,

unable to distinguish true love from fake feelings.

You really think you have true love

that will last forever?

What a joke!

The world reveres, worships, and admires her.

But do you know

Xing Yue's everlasting reputation

was built, bit by bit,

on your dead body?

What do you mean?

Bai Shuo once asked me

why I have so much hostility toward her.

I'll tell you now.

Because during the Divine War 60,000 years ago,

it was Xing Yue who killed you.

And Bai Shuo

carries Xing Yue's Divine Mantle!

The past is the past.

The grudges and entanglements from 60,000 years ago

were between Jing Yuan and Xing Yue.

They have nothing to do with me!

You are not him

after all.

Since you're heartless,

I don't have to hold back anymore.

The divine power of those puppets

has all been absorbed back into her body.

Since you love each other so much,

I'll grant your wish

and let you live and die together!

Reclaiming the divine power is her backup plan.

We have one too.

Do you remember?

My blood can make demons stronger.

The tides of the Lunar Hidden Sea have ebbed and flowed for tens of thousands of years,

creating some crystals.

I found them interesting and collected them.

You don't like jewelry,

but this is made of stone.

Lunar Lord, you won't refuse it, will you?

In scattered flowers and flying petals,

my once youthful face has changed.

It turns out that

what is truly eternal

has never been you and me.

My master.

Lanling isn't a place you can come and go as you please.

But, Sect Leader,

didn't you still let me in?

If you come uninvited again,

I'll have to deal with you according to the laws of Lanling.

The laws?

Will Lanling still need laws in the future?

Won't you, Sect Leader,

be the law of Lanling?

I've been killing demons according to the map you gave me,

and I've given all the demon cores to you.

What else do you want?

Here,

a new map of the demon clans.

I need more demon cores

to restore my vitality.

I hope

you can keep up the good work.

This battle was won too easily.

If things continue to go so smoothly,

it'll surely arouse suspicion among other High Eternals.

If anyone suspects anything,

just send them

to Bodhi Village

and be done with it.

Don't worry, Sect Leader.

In the demon-slaying battles,

the fame and glory

will all be yours.

You'll become

the undisputed head

of the Eternals.

Why is there suddenly a disturbance in my spiritual power?

Has something

happened to Luan Zhu?

No!

The power of Eternals and demons is incompatible.

Both Fan Yue and I are demons,

and you also carry demonic power within you.

Right now, only Bai Shuo can help him.

Master.

You're finally awake.

I've lived for over 1,000 years.

I've experienced everything.

I won't die.

Master,

how did you end up in Bodhi Village?

It was Jin Yao.

I accidentally discovered that he's

secretly adopted ancient mental cultivation methods.

So, he captured me and brought me to Bodhi Village

as an offering to Luan Zhu.

The corpses in that cave

were all Eternals sent here by Jin Yao.

Every time Luan Zhu drains an Eternal,

she creates a puppet

identical to them.

All of this

was actually done by Sect Leader.

Then what about my parents?

Did my parents really die in Bodhi Village?

Well...

I don't know.

At least, their remains were not in the cave.

Luan Zhu has drained countless Eternals

over the centuries.

Perhaps

they've been hidden somewhere else.

There's something

I've been keeping inside for a very long time.

Now that everyone is here,

it's time for me to face it.

You've always

wanted to know

why I've been hiding in Lanling, haven't you?

I've been hiding from someone...

Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu?

Zhen Yu has been searching for

three children with special fates.

10 years ago, he captured me

and forced me to find those three children by divination.

To stay alive,

I told him about two of them.

One was

in the Bai family

in Ning'an City,

and the other was

in the Bai Ze Clan.

So it was you

who brought Zhen Yu there.

I know I'm deeply sinful.

I've wronged the Bai family,

and I've wronged the Bai Ze Clan.

I've been racked with guilt.

But the guiltier I felt,

the harder it was to tell you the truth.

When Zhen Yu forced you to do the reading,

did you know what would happen afterward?

If I had known

that my divination

would bring so much bloodshed and suffering,

I would never have done it, even if it cost me my life.

But there are no "ifs" in this world.

What's done is done.

What's wrong is wrong.

It's all my fault.

Did you tell Zhen Yu

the whereabouts of the third child?

I didn't know why Zhen Yu was searching for

those three children,

but fearing he might succeed in his schemes,

I didn't continue the divination.

I lied to him and said that

the third child hadn't been born yet.

Zhen Yu,

the culprit.

It's him again.

Master.

How did this happen?

Weren't you just fine?

I'll give more spiritual power to you.

No, it's useless.

Luan Zhu injured my very foundation.

There's no saving me.

Take this.

It's my...

my turtle shell.

Why are you giving this to me?

I don't want it.

I said take it, so take it!

You keep your own turtle shell!

This is the shell of a 1000-year-old Mystery Turtle.

Use it in medicine.

It might help you make the first-grade elixir.

Take it

and save the person you want to save.

Consider it a small act

of atonement from me.

Master.

I want you to live.

I don't allow you to die.

You're still willing to call me "Master."

Then even in death,

I'll have no regrets.

Do you remember,

when you were training with me in Lanling,

what I told you life was about?

Life is the journey

from having nothing

back to having nothing.

In growing up,

you must learn to accept gains and losses.

I've always loved freedom.

Now,

I'm finally free.

♫ The flowers flew away ♫

♫ My tears are streaming down like rain ♫

Master.

♫ Light my heart's lamp, cast away attachments, and ask the world ♫

Master!

♫ On the vast sea, you and I ♫

Master!

Master!

Let me borrow your turtle shell for a bit.

The shell of a 1000-year-old Mystery Turtle

can make divination more accurate.

After I die,

my shell

will be yours.

And when will that be?

Are you that eager for me to die?

Of course not!

I just think that a turtle like you

will probably live longer than me.

I can't really count on getting your shell.

Good that you know.

In the end, I still couldn't save Master.

You did your best.

I used to think

since Master was a Mystery Turtle of the Eternal Race,

he would live for a very, very long time.

I never thought he would leave me,

let alone so suddenly.

I used to pester him,

bicker with him,

and even steal his wine.

Back then, I thought

there was plenty of time ahead,

and I could make it up to him later.

But when the unexpected happened,

I realized that the "plenty of time" I counted on

was never real.

So do whatever you want to do.

Don't wait.

Although Luan Zhu is dead,

many unanswered mysteries remain.

My parents' bodies still haven't been found.

You'll have to stay here a bit longer.

They're your parents,

trapped here by Luan Zhu for 10 years.

Of course, you must find them.

I'll be

wherever you are.

Shuo used to love looking at the starry sky.

I often looked at it with her.

You're so close to her now.

Unfortunately,

we can't go back to the past.

No matter what has happened,

you are still Bai Xi.

You have to face what you should.

Don't leave yourself with regrets.

Mother used to say

after people die,

they become stars in the sky.

After Father and Mother passed away,

I often looked up at the stars,

trying to find where they were.

But I never looked for Xi's star

♫ Don't linger, don't regret ♫

because I always believed

♫ The last moonlight ♫

she wasn't dead.

♫ The water from my hometown flows gently ♫

♫ Sending me to the distant place ♫

♫ In this life, at this time ♫

Stop running away.

♫ I dare not look back ♫

When we were little,

you always stood in front of me to protect me.

♫ Is there the same moonlight ♫

I thought my sister was the bravest person

in the world, second only to Father.

♫ On your path? ♫

But why doesn't she

even have the courage to face me now?

♫ I'm walking on a never-ending long road ♫

♫ In the vast world, how can I get there? ♫

♫ In the chaotic night wind, the melody stopped ♫

It's my fault that he died.

♫ The moonlight is gentle ♫

♫ All the feelings turned into nothing but a dream ♫

My hands are covered with blood, and I've done all the bad things.

I'm not worthy to be your sister.

♫ Reminiscing about the good old days ♫

♫ Singing until the voice fades, I'm feeling lost ♫

I'm even less so…

♫ Forget all about the past and leave it behind ♫

to be his daughter.

♫ Time after time ♫

If Father were still here,

♫ Oh, melancholy ♫

he'd just be happy that you're alive,

that you're safe and sound.

He would never blame you.

♫ Don't linger, don't regret ♫

♫ The last moonlight ♫

I promised Father

♫ The water from my hometown flows gently ♫

that I'd find you.

Xi.

I've grown up.

♫ Sending me to the distant place ♫

I can protect you now.

♫ In this life, at this time ♫

Let me take you back and cure the poison.

Come home with me,

♫ I dare not look back ♫

okay?

♫ Is there the same moonlight ♫

Outside Ning'an City,

the hibiscus flowers you loved

♫ On your path? ♫

Have bloomed season after season.

♫ I'm walking on a never-ending long road ♫

In the Governor's Mansion,

the cherry tree you planted

♫ In the vast world, how can I get there? ♫

Has grown its rings year after year.

♫ In the chaotic night wind, the melody stopped ♫

It's been 10 years.

♫ The moonlight is gentle ♫

It's time for you to come back.

♫ All the feelings turned into nothing but a dream ♫

Xi,

♫ Reminiscing about the good old days ♫

it's time to come home.

Let's go home,

♫ Singing until the voice fades, I'm feeling lost ♫

okay?

♫ Forget all about the past and leave it behind ♫

♫ Time after time ♫

Shuo.

Shuo.

♫ In the chaotic night wind, the melody stopped ♫

♫ The moonlight is gentle ♫

♫ All the feelings turned into nothing but a dream ♫

♫ Reminiscing about the good old days ♫

♫ Singing until the voice fades, I'm feeling lost ♫

♫ Forget all about the past and leave it behind ♫

♫ Time after time ♫

♫ Oh, melancholy ♫

Mystery Turtle said that Zhen Yu

was looking for three children with special fates.

Now it seems,

one is Fan Yue,

and one is Shuo.

Who is the third child?

Grand Master never mentioned it before.

Why did he

let you go so easily today?

You already went against his order

and saved me from the secret chamber.

Today, you pried into his secret,

yet he just accepted the excuse I made up and let you go.

I think he found something

in me.

And I've also felt

he has something

other than demonic power in him.

Something other than demonic power?

Zhen Yu injected demonic power into my body.

He wants me to completely become a demon!

The magic of Eternals and demons is incompatible.

Doing this

will only damage your foundation and make you die.

What exactly does Grand Master want to do?

Chong Zhao repeatedly defied Zhen Yu,

yet Zhen Yu didn't kill him.

But he injected demonic power into him.

Why was that?

Is Chong Zhao...

No, impossible.

I must be mistaken.

You're sitting here all alone.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Should we

go look for your parents' remains?

I was about to go.

I'll go with you.

Are you feeling better?

Don't worry. I'm not that fragile.

Let's go.

You haven't fully recovered yet.

Don't catch a cold.

I've imagined countless times

what it would be like to reunite with Xi.

But I never thought

it would happen right after Master's passing.

Life is truly

a mix of joy and sorrow,

full of unexpected changes.

No matter how much the world around you changes,

I'll always stay the same by your side.

To be honest,

I've had suspicions.

About what?

Why did the Contemplation Stone enter my body?

Why am I the only one who can activate it and gather Contemplations?

And why does my blood have miraculous effects?

♫ The person standing far away ♫

I wondered if I might be special.

♫ Don't be afraid ♫

Now, I finally have the answer.

♫ The stars will guide you to me ♫

But the words "Xing Yue's Divine Mantle"

feel both so light

and so heavy.

♫ Walk towards me ♫

What's worrying you, Shuo?

Xing Yue was a deity who saved the world,

but I'm just an ordinary human.

♫ My heart feels so... ♫

I don't know

what this Divine Mantle truly means.

♫ It's pounding as I wait for you ♫

And

the story between Xing Yue and Jing Yuan

doesn't seem to have a happy ending.

You mean the part where Xing Yue killed Jing Yuan?

♫ The stars light up your eyes ♫

Don't take what Luan Zhu said to heart.

It's not because of what Luan Zhu said.

♫ You are my distant call ♫

I saw it.

When I was in the sea of consciousness,

♫ You are my first and last ♫

some images flashed through my mind.

Xing Yue and Jing Yuan

weren't just lovers.

♫ My heart is trembling for you ♫

Unfortunately, I couldn't see more.

♫ In this moment where we embrace each other ♫

That's all in the past.

♫ Let's never let go ♫

This time, we've met again,

not as Xing Yue and Jing Yuan,

but as Bai Shuo and Fan Yue.

To me,

you're the best Bai Shuo,

the only one in this world,

irreplaceable.

There's one more thing.

The Contemplation Stone showed a prophetic vision,

which means the fifth Contemplation is in Bodhi Village.

Now that Luan Zhu is dead

and the villagers are gone,

it seems like everything has settled.

But why hasn't the fifth Contemplation appeared yet?

Let's just let it play out.

What's meant to happen will happen.

I didn't find anything.

Neither did I.

Mystery Turtle said the bodies in the cave weren't all of them,

but we've searched the entire village and found nothing.

Could it be

Luan Zhu destroyed them to cover her tracks?

Luan Zhu cooperated with Jin Yao,

but it was purely for mutual benefit.

They must have had their own agendas.

Luan Zhu must have

kept something as leverage over Jin Yao,

and it might be related

to the Eternals who were killed.

You have a point.

In that case,

let's go search Luan Zhu's room.

There might be new clues.

Chong Zhao.

These

are tokens carried by Eternal disciples

as a form of identification.

[Chen Xuan] [Pei Yue]

[Meng Ning]

[Meng Ning] [Chong Tai]

Father.

[Meng Ning] [Chong Tai]

Mother.

The truth you've been looking for for 10 years

has finally

been uncovered today.

[Meng Ning] [Chong Tai]

Each of these tokens

represents a fallen Eternal.

These

are the evidence of Luan Zhu and Jin Yao's crimes.

My four uncles must still be kept in the dark by Jin Yao.

I need to return to Lanling

and tell them everything.

I'll go with you.

The poison in you hasn't been cured yet,

and they don't know

you've already left Cold Spring Palace.

You've just reunited with Shuo.

Go back with them to Bright Moon Palace and wait for me there.

But...

Don't worry.

I'm Lanling's head disciple.

They'll believe me.

So Luan Zhu hid the Eternals' tokens here.

I really need to thank you two for helping me find them.

Where did Xi and Chong Zhao go?

They might have gone to look for

the remains of Chong Tai and Meng Ning.

Old Turtle said

that many Eternals' bodies

are still in Bodhi Village.

They're all evidence of Jin Yao's crimes.

Let's go help them.

I'll give these pills to Xi.

Once we're back at Bright Moon Palace,

I can definitely create the antidote.

Let's go.

What?

After just a few days apart,

you don't even want to call me Master anymore?

Did you really send them to Bodhi Village?

Yes.

Every Eternal on this wall

was personally sent here by me.

My parents were your closest friends.

Why did you kill them?

I gave them many chances.

Back then, Chong Tai and Meng Ning

accidentally noticed

the disappearances of some Eternals

and pursued the matter relentlessly.

I tried to stop them multiple times,

but they refused to give up.

Later,

they discovered my secret with Luan Zhu.

I never intended to take their lives,

but they were stubborn

and determined to stand against me.

Standing against me

can only lead to death.

My parents were loyal and kind their entire lives,

devoted to Lanling and caring for the people.

You were their most trusted senior.

How could you bring yourself to do it?

It was indeed difficult,

but your parents didn't know when to quit.

You really can't blame me.

Chong Zhao,

your parents' remains were destroyed back then.

You won't find them.

If you can forget everything that happened in Bodhi Village,

I'll spare your life.

Consider it my way of honoring

our master-disciple bond.

Whatever choice my parents made back then,

I'll make the same one now.

I won't compromise.

Jin Yao,

you conspired with Luan Zhu to kill your own kind.

What right do you have to call yourself Chong Zhao's master?

It's time to show the world

what a hypocrite you are.

There are precedents of humans turning into demons,

but you, when you were a mere human,

survived two of my strikes without dying.

That's something I still don't understand to this day.

Then, today,

take that question with you

and think about it on your way to hell.

You think you two alone can kill me?

What if they have my help?

Since you worked with Luan Zhu,

you should know that I'm here. How dare you still come?

After the fight with Luan Zhu,

you guys are either weakened or injured.

If I don't strike now, when else should I?

You caused my master's death?

Your master was really unlucky.

He discovered the secret between Luan Zhu and me.

He had lived for over 1,000 years.

That's long enough.

Chong Zhao has looked up to you as a father since he was a child,

revering and admiring you.

Yet you deceived him, betrayed him,

and made him mistake a foe for family for so many years.

Jin Yao,

you claim to uphold the duty of protecting all beings

and honor the responsibilities of the Eternals.

But in the shadows, you've slaughtered your own kind for selfish gain!

Bai Shuo,

think back to

when you were weak

and had to watch helplessly

as Cold Spring Palace wreaked havoc on Ning'an City.

That feeling of powerlessness...

I've felt it too.

I once had a righteous heart.

But back then, in Lanling,

hierarchy was strict;

status was clearly defined.

I couldn't change it.

When the Demon Race invaded, killing at will,

I couldn't stop it either.

The only way out

was to become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger could I do what I wanted to do

and protect who I wanted to protect.

But in the process of becoming stronger,

my heart

has changed.

That's something you'll never understand.

Today, Lanling is the head

of all Eternal Sects.

To its disciples,

there is no longer oppression of rank or status.

To outsiders,

it's impenetrable, unmatched by any.

Isn't that all thanks to me?

Did I do wrong?

You did.

True strength

should come from one's own efforts,

not from achieving selfish goals

at the cost of countless lives.

Today, we'll seek justice for Chong Zhao's parents,

for my master,

and for the countless innocent souls in Bodhi Village.

Justice

has never been in words.

It lies only

in power.

How do you possess such strong spiritual power?

Did you really think the head of the Eternals

was only capable of this much?

During all these years of working with Luan Zhu,

I've learned many ancient mental cultivation methods of the Divine Race.

A century of cultivation

has made me who I am today.

Hiding my spiritual power

has been quite exhausting.

If you had such power,

why did you let me steal the Contemplation Stone back then?

As expected of the Master of Bright Moon,

you hit the nail on the head.

All these years, I couldn't figure out

how to activate the Contemplation Stone.

So I decided to play along,

deliberately letting you steal the Contemplation Stone.

I planned to wait until you gathered all Five Contemplations

before taking it back.

I didn't expect you to find Bai Shuo

who was capable of activating the Contemplation Stone so quickly.

But now, it seems

you'll never gather all the Contemplations.

Then,

return the Contemplation Stone

to me.

I underestimated you.

Take Bai Shuo and leave.

Don't burn the star!

Burn the star?

My dear disciple Chong Zhao

told me about the Seal

in a letter a long time ago.

Do you think I wouldn't be prepared?

Chong Zhao trusted you so deeply,

yet you only used him.

How despicable!

Luan Zhu once told me

that the Seven-Star Seal comes from practicing ancient demonic techniques.

And my spiritual power

comes from the ancient Heart Sutra.

Well, then,

let's see

if I can burn the last star of yours.

No!

From this moment on,

the Master of Bright Moon no longer exists in this world.

Fan Yue!

Fan Yue!

♫ A lifetime of guarding everything with you ♫

♫ Crossing the abyss to fulfill our vow ♫

♫ I'll leap without a thought for tomorrow ♫

♫ This moment feels like forever ♫

♫ I've missed too much time in my life ♫

♫ I'll throw myself into this flame for you ♫

♫ Even if I'll perish ♫

♫ At least I can still kiss your face ♫

♫ Burn out my waning moon ♫

It's your turn now.

♫ In exchange for a lifetime of passion ♫

- No! - Jin Yao!

The Hidden power?

You can actually control the Hidden power?

Who exactly are you?

Chong Zhao.

Chong Zhao!

Fan Yue.

Fan Yue.

Fan Yue!

Fan Yue!
