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 38]

Jing Yuan, the Demon Lord,

has actually reappeared in the world.

So Fan Yue

actually has the Divine Mantle of the Demon Lord.

Those who hurt her

and want to hurt her

will all die.

No.

You used a self-destructive method to damage the Hidden Heart

and hurt yourself so badly.

You've lost all the power of the Five Contemplations,

and all your meridians are damaged.

You really don't care about your life.

As long as I'm here,

I won't let you

die again.

They say there are no deities left in this world.

But unexpectedly,

the Divine Mantles

of the three Supreme Deities still exist.

And now, the Demon Lord has suddenly returned.

It seems everything has its own fate.

Nothing is absolute.

Indeed.

We tried to bring down Bai Shuo,

but today, it was Bai Shuo who saved us all.

And who could have imagined

that Chong Zhao, the boy we raised ourselves,

has the Divine Mantle of the Hidden Lord?

Although the Hidden Heart was severely damaged by Bai Shuo,

Zhen Yu took it away

along with Chong Zhao.

If the Hidden Lord truly returns,

the Eternal Sects will be in peril,

and so will all living beings.

High Eternals,

are we just going to sit and do nothing?

The Eternals exist to protect the world.

These aren't just empty words.

If Chong Zhao

truly becomes the Hidden Lord,

we, the four High Eternals of Lanling,

will unite the full strength of the Eternals

to kill him.

That's easy for you to say.

That's a deity.

How do we kill him?

If you're so afraid of dying,

you can just

find a cave and hide.

High Eternal Jing Lei, you speak so righteously now,

but Lanling

still owes everyone

an explanation as to what Jin Yao did.

Indeed.

Jin Yao is the sect leader of Lanling,

yet for his own personal gain,

he brutally killed Eternal disciples.

Lanling must give us an explanation.

Otherwise,

how can it continue to be the head of the Eternal Sects?

-Well, -You...

Lanling will look into

Jin Yao's crimes.

But tell me, are you blaming us

to seek justice for the victimized Eternals

or to become the new head of the Eternals?

Virtue unfit for status invites disaster.

Shouldn't Lanling take responsibility

for what Jin Yao did?

Lanling will not shirk

any responsibility that we should bear.

But don't forget...

when the demons launched a full-scale attack

and the Eternals suffered defeat after defeat,

who was it

that led his disciples back to the battlefield,

turned the tide,

and restored the Eternals'

prestige and status in front of the demons?

Lanling may have achieved victory in battle,

but being great once doesn't mean you can be great forever.

Still better than those of you

who couldn't even win a fight!

You...

High Eternal Jing Lei,

is Lanling trying to suppress others by force?

You want a duel?

I'll just use one hand.

Is that enough?

Or I won't use either hand!

Enough!

If we're really going to assign blame,

everyone here

should be blamed.

Over the years,

the 72 Sects have each kept to themselves,

maintaining a facade of harmony.

But when it mattered,

everyone just looked out for their own interests.

Every time, it was Lanling that stepped up first.

If we hadn't

only cared about our own survival,

how would Jin Yao

have had so many chances to commit crimes?

That's right.

Bei Chen.

Don't be so disrespectful to your elders.

I may be bold and rude,

but I'm just saying the truth.

Bei Chen is right.

Nan Wan!

Master, if you want to punish me,

I'll accept it.

But there are things I must say today.

We Eternals exist

to protect people and the world.

But at some point,

we became obsessed with fame and fortune,

weighing gains and losses,

taking credit but dodging blame,

and seeking benefits while avoiding risks.

I want to ask,

are these still the Eternal Sects you once pledged yourselves to?

What do you two young men know?

Shut up!

What we know comes from what we've seen.

Back when Zhen Yu wreaked havoc in Ning'an City,

Lanling sent word and asked for our help to fight Cold Spring.

Yet all the sects made excuses to avoid the battle.

Later, during the Wutong Contest,

when Zhen Yu tried to kill Eternals and demons in the Outlanders' City,

we still didn't dare to step in

and let Zhen Yu grow unchecked step by step,

causing more and more disasters.

Now, Zhen Yu has taken the Hidden Heart

and captured Chong Zhao.

A calamity is coming!

Do you all,

as Eternals,

really believe this is the fault of just one sect?

He has a point.

Indeed.

He's right.

They are right.

If the 72 Sects could work together,

be honest and open with each other,

and move forward hand in hand,

there wouldn't have been such grave mistakes.

The Eternals are one family.

Internal matters are trivial.

The priority right now

is to stop the return of the Hidden Lord.

- Yes. Yes. - Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

You're awake?

Zhen Yu,

what do you want to do?

Haven't you already figured out

what I want to do?

You've known all along that I carry the Divine Mantle of the Hidden Lord.

That's why you made me a demon

and injected the Hidden power into me.

You want to awaken Mo Li.

That's right.

I'm not him!

I'm Chong Zhao,

not that demon!

You're the Hidden Lord.

You've simply

forgotten who you truly are.

Now that the Demon Lord has returned,

once he saves Bai Shuo's life,

he'll undoubtedly find a way to destroy the Hidden Heart.

I must bring back the Hidden Lord

as soon as possible.

The Hidden Heart is damaged.

It's impossible to bring back Mo Li.

Give it up.

Give up?

I've been planning this

for 60,000 years.

I will never give up.

No one in this world can stop me

from bringing him back.

Chong Zhao.

Xi.

You escaped Cold Spring Palace

in the chaos that day,

but today, you've come back willingly to die.

Good.

I raised you for 10 years. It's time to repay that kindness.

You raised me?

Back then, you deceived me into leaving my family,

turned me into a demon,

and used me as your weapon

for 10 whole years.

How dare you call that kindness?

No one can escape the blame for my father's death.

I deserve to die,

and you

should pay with your life too!

If you want someone to blame,

blame that old turtle.

Three children,

one in the Bai family

and one in the Bai Ze Clan.

You had spiritual energy back then,

while Bai Shuo

seemed utterly ordinary.

Anyone would have believed

you were the one with Xing Yue's Divine Mantle.

If not for the heavenly law that only a Supreme Deity can kill another Supreme Deity,

I wouldn't have kept you

and Chen Ye by my side.

I was waiting for His Lordship's return

to get rid of both of you.

If I had known this,

I would have killed you both a long time ago

to prevent future trouble.

One wrong step

led to another.

But luckily,

it's not too late to fix everything now.

How dare you hurt her?

I'll kill you!

Today, here,

you won't need to kill me.

You're actually using your own heart to mend the Hidden Heart.

As long as I can bring His Lordship back,

it's all worth it.

It's been 60,000 years.

I'm finally back.

Welcome back, my lord.

You gave your life to bring me back.

Do you regret it?

When nobody knew about me,

I was nothing but

a lonely, small snake,

dying after being attacked by a pack of snakes on South Mountain.

It was you, my lord, who saved me.

My life was yours

to begin with.

Now that…

I've brought you back,

I

Have no regrets.

Rest assured.

Those who killed you

and betrayed me,

I won't let go of any of them!

There were things left unfinished 60,000 years ago.

It's time

to finish them now.

You're Bai Xi,

the elder sister of Xing Yue in this life,

and the one Chong Zhao loves.

The sky looks eerie.

The Hidden Lord has returned.

How could Zhen Yu have repaired

the damaged Hidden Heart so quickly?

A great calamity has come,

and there's no avoiding it.

Since we can't escape,

we have to face it.

Sect Leaders,

please return at once

and protect your disciples and the humans.

Be ready to fight to save the world.

Don't worry, High Eternal.

Though the Eternals have been divided for years,

we know where to stand

when it truly matters.

We'll head back now

and stay ready.

Take care.

You too.

Do you think

we'll survive this catastrophe?

The road ahead is unclear,

but no matter what,

we'll stand firm until the very end.

He's back.

- You're awake. - You're back.

- Xing Yue. - Fan Yue.

The Demon Lord,

Jing Yuan?

60,000 years ago,

I used the divine power of the Demon Lord to bind the Hidden Heart.

Today, when the Contemplation Stone was shattered

and the Hidden Heart was damaged,

my divine power returned to me,

so I woke up.

What about Fan Yue?

You hope the one who woke up

was him?

Xi and Chong Zhao

are in danger.

It's too late.

Mo Li has already returned.

Even if the Hidden Lord has come back,

Xi is still there.

I need to save her.

Mo Li and I are evenly matched in power.

We can't defeat each other.

Mo Li knows this as well.

That's why he hasn't made a move

against Bright Moon Palace yet.

But the same

goes for me.

Without the Xing Yue Divine Bow,

we can't kill Mo Li,

destroy the Hidden Heart,

or save anyone.

We can't win,

so we'll just do nothing?

You've met Xiu Yan,

so you should know

if you want to save your sister,

wake Chong Zhao up,

and save this world,

you have to find the Xing Yue Divine Bow first.

It's the only way.

Don't worry too much.

I'm here.

We faced this together 60,000 years ago,

and we'll face it together now.

60,000 years ago, the one by your side

was Xing Yue.

You are Xing Yue.

But I'm Bai Shuo.

Chong Zhao.

You truly love him.

The first thing you do upon waking up is call out his name.

You're not Chong Zhao.

You can tell right away.

You do know him well.

Where is Chong Zhao?

What have you done to him?

He's still here,

kept in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness.

Let him go!

And if I don't?

Perhaps you don't know this...

this body of his

was created for me to begin with.

It's his honor

that I'm using it now.

As for you,

if you don't want Chong Zhao to completely disappear,

you'd better stay right here.

Why…

why don't you just kill me?

You're Xing Yue's sister.

If I kill you,

she'll be angry.

Remember,

I don't like noise.

Don't run around. Don't make a fuss.

Stay quiet.

After 60,000 years,

the auras of Eternals and demons on the Eastern Continent

have grown much stronger.

Mo Li, what are you going to do?

Zhen Yu waited for me for 60,000 years.

Shouldn't someone accompany him in death?

The Eternals and demons will join forces to kill you.

It seems you still don't understand

how powerful a deity is.

To Eternals and demons, humans are nothing

more than insignificant ants.

And to me, Eternals and demons

are just insignificant ants too.

Even if you don't fear Eternals and demons,

the Demon Lord has returned,

and he won't let you

get anything you want.

Jing Yuan's divine power originates from the Purple Moon,

and Xing Yue's divine power originates from the stars.

Do you know why my divine power originates from

this ancient mirror?

The Purple Moon and the stars illuminate the world,

seemingly vast and far-reaching.

This Divine Mirror, the size of a plate,

seems too small.

But that's far from the truth.

The Heavenly Divine Mirror

reflects the whole world.

In terms of vastness,

there is a whole world in the Divine Mirror.

That's truly vastness!

With the power of the entire world as my source,

what do I have to fear?

As long as I absorb enough power from the Eternals and demons,

no one will be able to stop me!

Stop!

Do you really think you can

break the restraints of the Hidden Race's Supreme Deity?

If you're so powerful,

why do you bother imprisoning me here?

You've trapped me here

because you can't kill me either.

After all, this body belonged to me,

and you've just borrowed it to return.

If you kill me,

you'll hurt yourself.

You're too noisy.

Much quieter now.

Tian Huo,

you've finally returned.

He...

I've already heard.

Other demons told me.

The Demon Lord, Jing Yuan,

has returned.

During this trip,

I uncovered some things.

I searched all the sects and clans

of Eternals, demons, and humans

but found nothing.

In the end, I found a clue in the Eastern Sea.

According to ancient records there,

when the Divine Region collapsed,

several pieces of meteoric iron fell from the sky,

scattering along the shores of the Eastern Sea.

The Eastern Sea… Meteoric iron?

I remember you once said

the Outlander King's Sword was forged by the first King of Outlanders

using meteoric iron found by the Eastern Sea.

That's right.

I returned to the Outlanders' City,

scoured records from 1,000 years ago,

and finally found the original form of the meteoric iron from back then.

It seems the Xing Yue Arrow

was already fractured and melted

when it fell from the Divine Region,

losing its original form.

No wonder it remained undiscovered for so long.

So the Outlander King's Sword is the Xing Yue Arrow.

What about the Xing Yue Divine Bow?

Any clues?

Not yet.

Report!

Bad news!

The Hidden Lord, Mo Li,

used the Heavenly Divine Mirror to absorb power from countless Eternals and demons.

Lanling issued a proclamation to rally against the Hidden Lord

but was attacked by him instead.

The four High Eternals of Lanling

have been taken to Cold Spring Palace.

It's your first time in Cold Spring Palace, right?

Lanling always boasts about protecting the world

and defending justice against evil.

Yet Cold Spring Palace,

a place steeped in wickedness and cruelty,

has stood untouched by you for all these years.

Instead, you let Chong Zhao become a demon to infiltrate it.

How ridiculous.

It is ridiculous.

The head disciple of Lanling turns out to be the Hidden Lord.

I said before,

if Chong Zhao truly becomes the Hidden Lord,

I'll kill you

even if it costs me my life!

Kill me?

Jing Lei!

- Jing Lei! - Senior.

I hate fools who overestimate themselves the most.

What you're doing is against Heaven.

If I can't stop you,

someone else will.

Still so delusional

even in the face of death.

Chong Zhao, wake up!

He's your Uncle Jing Lei!

Jing Lei!

Senior!

Jing Lei!

Enough of your fantasies.

I'm not Chong Zhao.

Even if you kill us all,

you still won't be able to kill

Xing Yue or Jing Yuan!

You returned at the same time.

It shows Heaven's constraints on you!

Is that so?

Without the Xing Yue Divine Bow,

they're no threat to me.

I'll show you

how they'll pay the price for everything they did

in the past!

You actually managed to wound me.

It seems you're indeed not ordinary.

I spared your life,

and yet you tried to kill me.

Is this what you and Chong Zhao call true love?

You demon,

you don't deserve to mention his name!

If not for me,

Chong Zhao wouldn't even exist in this world.

You should thank me

for giving you the chance to meet him,

shouldn't you?

If you're going to kill me, then do it.

Stop disgusting me with Chong Zhao's face.

He's nothing like you.

He's loyal and righteous,

unlike you...

your hands are stained with the blood of your fellow disciples!

Fellow disciples?

The people of Lanling are nothing to me.

Have you killed fewer Eternals than I have?

Do you really think

just because you want to be kind,

your bloody past can be erased

and your sins can be forgiven?

Lady Fu Ling.

Do you remember what you said to Chong Zhao

when you brought him to Cold Spring Palace?

You said you were in hell

and wanted him to stay with you.

You've gotten your wish now.

And I can promise you this...

you and Chong Zhao will stay in hell forever,

never to see the light of day.

You know everything

about Chong Zhao?

Yes.

And it only confirms that he's a loser.

He talks endlessly about justice,

but he doesn't understand

that evil is the true nature of this world.

Go ahead, keep trying to kill me,

if you think you can succeed.

You're keeping someone

who wants to kill you by your side.

Are you really that confident,

or do you have some ulterior motive?

The unfinished business from 60,000 years ago

isn't just ruling the world.

It's also marrying Xing Yue.

In this whole world,

you

are the perfect witness for this union,

aren't you?

Are you planning to ruin your hands

before you shoot Mo Li?

It's just a small injury.

I can handle it myself.

When I learned martial arts from my father,

among all martial skills,

I was never really interested in archery

and hardly practiced it growing up.

Who would've thought that one day,

I'd have to rely on a Divine Bow to kill my enemy?

I just want to hone my archery

before we find the Divine Bow.

The Bow and you are in perfect harmony.

Where the heart points,

the arrow will follow.

You don't need practice to hit your mark every time.

Someone once told me,

it's not easy to defeat the strong

when you're weak.

Besides learning the tricks,

you also need relentless training.

I'm not gifted,

and now I've lost the power of the Five Contemplations.

To be safe,

it's better to practice hard.

Practice is fine,

but don't push yourself too hard.

Thank you.

Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?

10 years ago, on the night of the Lantern Festival,

you saved Xi and me.

I've spent the last 10 years seeking immortality,

just so I could repay you.

There's no need for thanks

and even less need for repayment.

It's almost laughable.

When I saved you that night,

I didn't know you carried Xing Yue's Divine Mantle.

Not all immortals pity mortals.

You're lucky

to have eyes resembling hers.

But if I had recognized you that day,

perhaps things wouldn't have...

Actually, I've always wondered something.

60,000 years ago, the Divine Region collapsed,

and all deities died.

So why were you still in this world 10 years ago?

My physical body was indeed destroyed

60,000 years ago,

but the Divine Mantles of the three Supreme Deities never perish.

I was so desperate to find Xing Yue

that I forcibly tore apart my Divine Mantle.

Half of it went to Bai Ze,

and the other half stayed in the world, continuing the search,

until the 15-year-old Fan Yue accidentally fell off a cliff,

forcing the two halves of my Divine Mantle to reunite.

Only then did I enter his body,

but the shock of the reunion caused me to lose my memory.

You tore apart your Divine Mantle,

wandered the world alone,

and searched for her like that

for 60,000 years?

Her?

Why not say I was searching for you?

You are her.

Perhaps you haven't noticed it.

Other than the moment I awoke, when you called me Xing Yue,

you haven't called me my name since.

Is it because you think it's unnecessary,

because you're avoiding it,

or because…

you yourself haven't figured out

who I am now?

You're right.

I can't let myself collapse

before I defeat the Hidden Lord.

I'm going back.

You should get some rest too.

Under the stars tonight,

with friends and loved ones by our side,

and the ten thousand miles of the Polar Region as our witness,

Fan Yue,

will you marry me?

Side by side in the heavens;

bound together on earth.

Two hearts as one,

unchanging for all eternity.

You've accepted my flowers,

so you're mine now.

Okay.

Fan Yue,

you share the same Divine Mantle,

the same body,

and the same face.

But does that really make him you?

Master has returned.

You should be happy.

But you seem…

Are you struggling with

whether to see him as Master

or the Demon Lord?

What about you?

To me, Master just has

the memories of the Demon Lord now.

He's just stronger

and colder.

In my eyes,

he's both my master and the Demon Lord.

But this version of him

means different things to me than to you.

I thought I could do it.

I thought I could see him as Fan Yue.

But it turns out that some feelings

just can't coexist.

I have the Divine Mantle of Xing Yue,

and I've learned Xing Yue's life story

in the Lunar Hidden Sea.

But in the end, I am Bai Shuo,

not Xing Yue.

I didn't spend those long centuries

with Jing Yuan in the Divine Region,

nor did I share with him

the joy and sorrow of those days

and all those life-and-death situations.

The one who lived through everything with me

and faced death with me

was Fan Yue.

Then,

what are you going to do?

He's the Demon Lord,

but he's also Master.

I don't know.

Tian Huo,

can you leave me alone for a while?

Looking at the stars in the night sky,

what do you feel?

The stars shine,

illuminating the world

and guiding the people.

What you see is a sky full of stars,

but to me,

every single star in the sky

is a reflection of Xing Yue.

Bai Shuo was right.

I've been deliberately avoiding it

because I really,

really want to see her as Xing Yue.

So,

you're finally admitting it.

Bai Shuo is Bai Shuo,

and Xing Yue is Xing Yue.

Actually, I know everything between you and Bai Shuo;

just like in the Outlanders' City,

you knew everything between Mu and Bai Shuo.

Why bring up Mu again?

I just think the situations are similar.

It seems you really don't like him.

Just like you don't like me.

We have the same Divine Mantle.

I can feel it.

You're angry with me too.

Of course I am.

Without you,

she wouldn't have to make a choice.

But if you didn't exist,

Bai Shuo might already be dead,

my Divine Mantle wouldn't have awakened,

and this reunion wouldn't have been possible.

You don't truly hate Mu,

and I don't see you as an enemy either.

On the contrary, I should thank you.

Fan Yue,

thank you for existing.

Thank you for protecting her all this time.

I protect her because I love her.

I don't need your thanks.

Yes,

you love Bai Shuo,

and I love Xing Yue.

Only when the right people meet at the right time

can they be together forever.

Once things are out of alignment,

everything falls apart.

I spent 60,000 years

searching for Xing Yue,

but only now do I realize that

Xing Yue, the Night Lord,

is long gone.

Then Jing Yuan, the Demon Lord,

has no reason to stay in this world.

Have you thought it through?

Being able to see her one last time,

I'm content.

Perhaps my awakening

was meant to bring you two together after 60,000 years.

I'll leave my power to you

and return Fan Yue to Bai Shuo.

From now on, the Demon Lord Jing Yuan will no longer exist in this world.

There will only be the Demon Lord Fan Yue.

Promise me,

keep her safe.

Don't let the regrets between Xing Yue and me

fall upon you and Bai Shuo.

The stars are so beautiful tonight.

Xing Yue,

I'm coming to find you.

Bai Shuo.

♫ The person standing far away ♫

♫ Don't be afraid ♫

♫ The stars will guide you to me ♫

♫ Walk towards me ♫

♫ My heart feels so... ♫

♫ It's pounding ♫

Shuo.

You're back.

Yes.

I'm back.

♫ The stars light up your eyes ♫

♫ You are my distant call ♫

♫ You are my first and last ♫

♫ My heart is trembling for you ♫

♫ In this moment where we embrace each other ♫

♫ Let's never let go ♫

You're finally back.

What about him?

He's gone.

He's headed to the starry sky

to search for the one he loves.

Will he find Xing Yue?

Among the eternal, dazzling stars,

none of them are her,

yet all of them are her.

He'll surely find his Xing Yue

in another way.

♫ The stars light up your eyes ♫

♫ You are the light I yearn for ♫

♫ You are my determined way home ♫

♫ Let this moment stay forever ♫

♫ I'm hugging you in the crowd ♫
