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 39]

The former Lady Fu Ling was spirited and resolute,

with swift and ruthless judgment.

Although you are holding a sharp blade,

there’s no opportunity to wield it.

What a pity.

Why don't I give you a chance?

What do you want?

I've said that

once I've returned, I shall reign supreme over the world.

Although the Eastern Continent's Eternals and demons are weak,

a good number of them collectively

makes for a decent supplement.

As long as you obey

and capture Eternals and demons for me,

you are allowed to enter and exit

Cold Spring Palace freely.

After all,

you used to do this sort of thing all the time,

didn’t you?

No way.

What if Chong Zhao's life is at stake?

Let's see how you choose.

Chong Zhao!

Xi.

Xi.

Chong Zhao.

You are still here.

You really are still here.

There’s still so much we haven’t accomplished yet.

I know you're waiting for me.

I won't disappear so easily.

How sincere

and touching.

Actually, the existence of you two

is not something

I find entirely unacceptable.

Chong Zhao.

Persuade her well.

Instead of resisting,

why not obey me?

That's the only wise choice.

Xi.

You were forced to be a demon for ten years

and suffered for ten years.

You finally escaped Cold Spring Palace

to become Bai Xi again.

You must not go back to your old ways.

The righteousness of the world

and your future is always more important than my life.

Don't you ever feel threatened by him.

That's not what I want to hear.

Zhao!

Zhao!

Xi.

Remember,

regardless of how Mo Li treats me,

even if he kills me,

you mustn't give in to him.

How stubborn.

I really don't understand

why you would fall for

such a boring and stubborn person.

You will

never understand his loyalty!

Your so-called morality

is the most hypocritical and ridiculous in my eyes.

I may have given you a chance,

but that doesn't mean you are irreplaceable.

Since you don't appreciate it,

you can just stand by and watch

how the Eternals and demons grovel at my feet,

begging for mercy.

Xiu Yan once said

he could feel that

the Xing Yue Divine Bow is right above the Eastern Continent.

But no matter how I summon it,

the Divine Bow wouldn't appear.

The Contemplation Stone and the Outlander King's Sword also had no reaction to it.

The Contemplation Stone and the Sword acknowledged you as its master

because they sensed that

you have Xing Yue's Divine Mantle,

but the Xing Yue Bow remained completely silent.

Unless...

Unless it's not yet awakened

and doesn't know it's a Divine Bow.

Back then, the Xing Yue Divine Bow could defy Xing Yue's own wishes

and shot Jing Yuan down.

This means it has its own consciousness.

It's different from other divine objects.

Bad news.

Mo Li launched a sudden attack on various demon clans and Eternal sects.

Many Eternals and demons have nowhere to go.

They've all fled to the Polar Region for refuge.

Mo Li has gathered several demon warriors

to attack the Polar Region.

The Polar Region's terrain is vast and complex.

It's certainly possible to take in the Eternals and demons seeking refuge.

I believe the demon warriors of Bright Moon Palace

are not afraid of a battle.

But here in the Polar Region,

there are also many little demons that you saved.

If Mo Li attacks,

they won't be able to withstand it.

On the day we established this palace in the Polar Region,

I made it clear that no one would be allowed to encroach on my territory.

What are you trying to do?

Jing Yuan left all of his divine power to me.

I can summon the Purple Moon above the Polar Region

and protect the entire Polar Region with my primal power.

Although the primal power of the Demon Lord is strong,

the Polar Region spans hundreds of thousands of miles of land.

If you form a barrier with your divine power,

it will inevitably consume your power continuously.

Master.

You're draining yourself.

Anyone who comes to the Polar Region,

whether an Eternal or a demon,

is entrusting their life to me.

I will protect them all.

Master!

Aren't you going to stop him?

If he isn't going to resolve matters this way,

he wouldn’t be the Master of Bright Moon Palace

or the Fan Yue I know.

He has endured too much suffering

and faced too many hardships in the past.

That's why he wants to stand in front of others

and shield those who are also suffering.

This is his choice.

I agree and I won't stop him.

As for my choice...

I've already told you,

We shall fight side by side,

sharing both life and death.

Purple Moon!

- It's the Purple Moon! - It's the Purple Moon!

It's the Purple Moon! Look!

Purple Moon!

It's the Demon Lord who is using the Purple Lunar Power to form a barrier

in order to block Mo Li's attack.

I didn't expect that us Eternals have to escape to the Polar Region

and receive protection from Fan Yue

in order to survive.

Fan Yue.

I'm fine.

Previously, Eternals and demons all believed that

the Master of Bright Moon was ruthless by nature.

Now, they will all know that

you are the most merciful one.

It doesn't matter whether they know or not.

What matters is

no matter what happens next,

I mustn't allow Mo Li's wild ambitions succeed.

60,000 years ago,

Mo Li destroyed the Divine Region.

60,000 years later,

I won't let him destroy the Eastern Continent again.

It was exactly this Purple Moon that

gave me immense hope back then.

It's the same this time.

The appearance of the Purple Moon

will protect the Eternals and demons.

Mo Li,

you can't win after all.

Do you really think that the Purple Moon's protection of the Polar Region

will safeguard those Eternals and demons for a lifetime?

No one can stop me

from doing what I want.

Shuo and Fan Yue won't sit back and do nothing.

I'm sure they'll find a way to restrain you.

Really?

I'm afraid the Human Race can't wait till then.

What do you mean?

The humans are unaware of the Eternals, the demons,

or the Polar Region,

nor do they know about the impending catastrophe in the world.

They're still at the same place,

living their peaceful lives.

The Purple Moon can barely safeguard the Polar Region as it is.

How can it protect the entire Human Race?

You're...

You're actually planning to target the Human Race?

You're at least an ancient god.

How could you be this despicable?

In my eyes,

there is only success or failure.

There's no such thing as benevolence or otherwise.

Tomorrow,

I'll put on a good show for you.

Are you satisfied

with this show?

You want to use human blood

to break the Purple Lunar Barrier?

The Purple Moon's divine power is extremely yang,

while human blood is extremely yin.

Yin and yang neutralizes each other,

so why not?

Kill me if you dare!

Killing you would be too easy.

It's only fun if I torture you.

Offering the blood of thousands

will surely incur heaven's wrath

Heaven's wrath?

If the Heaven is capable of killing me,

I would have died 60,000 years ago.

Heaven has set a rule that only a Supreme Deity

can completely kill another Supreme Deity.

Even the Heaven has to follow its own rules.

Sacrifice?

Look at the scenery.

Blood staining the Polar Region.

How spectacular!

You'll face retribution.

You'll definitely face retribution!

Shut up!

I think I am already hearing

the blood currents climbing over the Purple Lunar Barrier.

Very soon...

Master.

All the Eternals and demons seeking refuge have been taken care of.

In the face of a powerful enemy,

both sides have set aside their past prejudices

and are living in peace.

Master.

What's wrong?

Are you not feeling well?

- Master! - Fan Yue!

What's going on?

Human blood sacrifice?

The Purple Lunar Barrier has been broken.

Xi!

Shuo, I'm fine.

You're finally here.

Chong Zhao would never commit such a heinous act as a human blood sacrifice.

You are nothing like him.

How could a weak and incompetent Chong Zhao

ever compare to me?

The human blood broke the Purple Lunar Barrier so quickly.

It seems that you are no longer Jing Yuan.

Whether I'm Fan Yue or Jing Yuan,

I won't let you succeed.

The indiscriminate killing of

innocent humans is utterly inhumane.

Mo Li.

You don't deserve to be a deity.

That's not up to you to decide.

You all...

can't stop me from achieving my grand plan.

You've clearly overestimated your abilities.

You only have Xing Yue's Divine Mantle.

Now without the power of the Contemplation Stone,

you're nothing but an ant

in my eyes.

♫ May I ask, what do the gods see in the world? ♫

♫ Sadness from infatuation, anger, and parting ♫

♫ My love brought tears ♫

♫ Greed for gathering, for holding, and for completeness ♫

♫ I was never a flower, but I withered on my own ♫

♫ I fell between your brows and became a good fruit ♫

♫ The grand dream of life is hard to let go ♫

♫ Searching for the path, the answers, yet found nothing ♫

♫ With a heart full of compassion for the people, I let go of my obsessions ♫

♫ I cultivated myself to be free of desires, offering myself as a sacrifice to the moon ♫

♫ The daylight burns through, and the stars shine bright ♫

♫ Through the Buddhist dust, I see the moon in the sky ♫

♫ I am but a mortal, destined to fade ♫

♫ But I went through a thousand calamities for a promise ♫

♫ I severed emotions, desires, and the fate between you and me ♫

♫ To protect the world for eternity ♫

Where am I?

This is the Unbridled Pavilion.

Fan Yue took us back to Ning'an City.

Ning'an City?

I'm finally back.

Don't talk.

Let me give you some energy.

Shuo, don't cry.

In this lifetime,

it has been my greatest fortune

to be able to reunite with you.

But from now on,

I can't protect you any longer.

♫ I remember that moonlit night ♫

♫ The flowers that bloomed once in a lifetime ♫

No.

♫ I remember that word of concern ♫

We've only just reunited.

Didn't we agree to

♫ But unfortunately, I didn't get to answer ♫

overcome difficulties

and start over together?

♫ I remember that drop of tear ♫

Don't leave me, will you?

♫ It dried in the wind ♫

I don't want you to leave you either, Shuo.

♫ The one in the autumn wind ♫

♫ How many times have I seen you in my dreams? ♫

But in this lifetime of mine,

I've done too much wrong.

♫ That year, that year ♫

I have to make up for it somehow.

The ten years spent in Cold Spring Palace

♫ The leaves fell unnoticed after the flowers bloomed ♫

♫ I'm afraid the autumn wind will stir up memories ♫

were like shackles

that held me captive.

♫ They unfold, one page after another ♫

Maybe this way,

♫ That year, that year ♫

I can be truly free.

♫ The flowers flew under the moon, filling the sky ♫

Shuo.

Don't be sad.

♫ Falling to the mud, burying the memories ♫

Remember.

The stars shine brightly

♫ Layer after layer ♫

as the moon emerges from the clouds.

I'm like the morning light,

while you are like the stars.

♫ That year, that year ♫

The stars shine brightly

as the moon emerges from the clouds.

♫ The leaves fell unnoticed after the flowers bloomed ♫

You must always...

♫ I'm afraid the autumn wind will stir up memories ♫

always...

be the invincible Bai Shuo.

♫ They unfold, one page after another ♫

♫ That year, that year ♫

I'm not leaving.

♫ The flowers flew under the moon, filling the sky ♫

I'm just tired,

♫ Falling to the mud, burying the memories ♫

and I want to go home.

♫ Layer after layer ♫

♫ Another year passed ♫

Ning'an City...

♫ Another year passed ♫

The Governor's Mansion...

I think...

I see Father.

Father, when can we eat?

I'm starving.

Just wait.

Xi, where have you been?

Don't try to sneak a bite.

Why are you home only now?

Quick, come and have some dumplings.

That's right, Xi.

The dumplings are going to get cold if you don't eat.

Hurry up.

Hurry.

- Come on. Have a seat. - Here.

-If you don't come back, -Eat it while it’s hot.

Father wouldn't even let me eat.

Our dear Father

might not be the best with other dishes,

but these dumplings are at least decent.

Decent?

If it's just decent, then don't eat.

Give it to Xi.

Here.

Xi,

why aren't you eating?

Eat the dumplings while it's hot.

Eat your fill.

That's right.

Father.

What's wrong?

♫ The last moonlight ♫

It's nothing.

♫ The water from my hometown flows gently ♫

I just haven't seen you for a long time,

♫ Sending me to the distant place ♫

so I wanted to call you.

♫ In this life, at this time ♫

It's my fault.

I'm always busy with city's affairs,

♫ I dare not look back ♫

and I seldom spend time with you two.

Please don't blame me.

♫ Is there the same moonlight ♫

I don't blame you.

Why would I blame you?

♫ On your path? ♫

It's all my fault.

I've let you down.

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

I don't...

No, don't.

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

Xi, what's wrong?

You...

You haven't even had a bite of my dumplings,

♫ In the chaotic night wind, the melody stopped ♫

and you are already crying just by the looks of it?

♫ The moonlight is gentle ♫

♫ All the feelings turned into nothing but a dream ♫

You're even crying your eyes out.

♫ Reminiscing about the good old days ♫

I was just thinking about some...

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

some things I did before that hurt you.

♫ Forget all about the past and leave it behind ♫

♫ Time after time ♫

Since it's all in the past,

♫ Oh, melancholy ♫

then just let it go.

Have you forgotten what I've told you?

In our Bai family,

we don't stay angry overnight, and we don't hold grudges.

As a family, there's no need to apologize to each other.

- Right? - Yeah.

Alright, stop crying.

Father.

Xi is back.

Xi will never leave you again.

Never.

All right.

Yes, you won't leave.

Since you've cried,

then just forget all the unhappy memories.

Hurry, try my dumplings.

Let's see if it's just decent.

Here, I'll get you another one.

Hurry.

How is it?

It's delicious.

Did you hear that?

It's delicious, not just decent.

If it's delicious, have some more.

Shuo.

If there's a next life,

let's stay together

as a family,

shall we?

♫ What kind of flower would never bear fruit? ♫

♫ What kind of fruit never sees a flower? ♫

♫ Withstanding the stillness, you are a broken piece of me ♫

♫ I am the fruit to your flowers ♫

♫ Across thousands of miles ♫

♫ The pain of parting lingers ♫

♫ I light a lamp with no wick to carry me through the rest of my days ♫

♫ Flowers in the wind, sand in the water ♫

It's the Xing Yue Divine Bow.

Bai Xi...

is the bow spirit of Xing Yue Divine Bow?

♫ May I ask, what do the gods see in the world? ♫

♫ Sadness from infatuation, anger, and parting ♫

♫ My love brought tears ♫

♫ Greed for gathering, for holding, and for completeness ♫

♫ I was never a flower, but I withered on my own ♫

♫ I fell between your brows and became a good fruit ♫

♫ The grand dream of life is hard to let go ♫

♫ Searching for the path, the answers, yet found nothing ♫

♫ With a heart full of compassion for the people, I let go of my obsessions ♫

♫ I cultivated myself to be free of desires, offering myself as a sacrifice to the moon ♫

♫ The daylight burns through, and the stars shine bright ♫

♫ Through the Buddhist dust, I see the moon in the sky ♫

♫ I am but a mortal, destined to fade ♫

♫ But I went through a thousand calamities for a promise ♫

♫ I severed emotions, desires, and the fate between you and me ♫

♫ To protect the world for eternity ♫

Why does my heart ache?

No.

I am not one to feel any heartache

nor shed any tears.

Chong Zhao.

It must be you!

You're indeed behind this.

Mo Li.

I'll kill you!

Do you really think

you're capable of hurting me?

Why did you kill her?

I had spared her life,

but she kept going against me

and was courting her own demise.

Chong Zhao.

Leaving you with your divine consciousness

is already a major grace from me.

It's best if you remain obediently

in the depths of this sea of consciousness.

If you dare to disturb me again,

I have no qualms of personally destroying

your last sliver of divine consciousness.

If you dare to destroy it, why haven't you done it yet?

As long as my divine consciousness is gone,

you will also be severely hurt.

If you don't destroy it,

I will.

Let go of me!

Destroying your own divine consciousness?

Dream on!

Why are you laughing?

I’m laughing because you’re pathetic.

You call yourself a deity,

but you have no idea what love is,

and no one loves you.

You keep saying you want to marry Xing Yue,

but that's only because you can't get her

and are trying to claim her through bloodshed.

But let me tell you,

you're wrong.

Love in this world can never come from possession.

You insignificant fools

are on the verge of death,

yet you dare speak of love in front of me.

How ridiculous.

Chong Zhao.

Xi!

Xi.

Xi!

♫ If the wind intends to fill the sky with flowers ♫

Xi.

♫ The moon's brightness is also the result of stars falling into place ♫

I've let you down.

I failed to protect you.

I'm sorry.

♫ As the wind stirs, the clouds gather ♫

♫ As the clouds shift, the moon becomes full ♫

I'm sorry.

Chong Zhao.

♫ Love is the hardest thing to understand ♫

Don't cry, will you?

All of this is my personal choice.

The Divine Bow is emotionless.

♫ I'm finally back to where it all started ♫

Even if I live for thousands of years,

I will never comprehend the true meaning of the world.

Having met you in this lifetime,

I already have no regrets.

♫ All the answers are already explained ♫

Chong Zhao.

If there's a next life,

let's live as an ordinary couple,

♫ I'll owe you all of my life ♫

shall we?

♫ But we're destined to part ♫

♫ How can I downplay this? ♫

Alright.

♫ When you engrave your love into my heart ♫

♫ When my star falls only for you ♫

♫ When the heavens fall ♫

♫ I can still connect with you through the waning moon ♫

♫ When my pain blurs my eyes ♫

♫ Out of the countless stars, I see only you ♫

♫ As you turn into a falling star and crash into my heart ♫

Don't give up.

I have faith in you.

♫ When you engrave your love into my heart ♫

You can definitely triumph over Mo Li.

♫ When my star falls only for you ♫

♫ When the heavens fall ♫

♫ I can still connect with you through the waning moon ♫

♫ When my pain blurs my eyes ♫

♫ Out of the countless stars, I see only you ♫

Xi!

Xi!

♫ As you turn into a falling star and crash into my heart ♫

You keep saying you want to marry Xing Yue,

but that's only because you can't get her

and are trying to claim her through bloodshed.

Love in this world can never come from possession.

Love?

I never needed

such a stupid thing.

I will prove to all of you that

even without love,

I can still have it all.

Xing Yue,

you will be mine.

I finally understand

why ten years ago,

when that demon tried to swallow me and Xi,

he said that Xi had spiritual energy.

[Unbridled Pavilion]

I also finally understand

why Jin Yao couldn't kill her.

Xi was never an ordinary human.

She is the Xing Yue Divine Bow.

I should have guessed it.

The Xing Yue Divine Bow

was born with deity Xing Yue.

Fan Yue.

Don't you think Heaven is so heartless?

Did they bring Xi into this world

just for her to keep sacrificing herself for me?

In this lifetime,

you are Bai Shuo and she is Bai Xi.

You've already surpassed

the relationship between a Supreme Deity and their divine weapon,

and have become each other's closest family in this world.

She saved you

not out of her mission as the Divine Bow,

but as a sister protecting her younger sister.

Her biggest wish

was for you to be well.

For her,

you have to pull yourself together.

[Unbridled Pavilion]

Xi sacrificed her life

in exchange for mine.

I will honor her wish

and be invincible.

I will surely get rid of Mo Li,

avenging her

and all those who have died.

Fan Yue!

Fan Yue!

Master!

What happened?

Master used the Purple Lunar Power

to protect the entire Polar Region.

It has been consuming his divine power,

but with the addition of Mo Li's mass human blood sacrifice,

I'm afraid...

What will happen?

The Purple Moon is extremely yang, while human blood is extremely yin.

With Mo Li's sinister blood sacrifice,

human blood is now infused into the Purple Moon's divine power,

creating a force of both extreme yin and yang

that is clashing in Master's body.

Even with Master's divine body,

he's unable to bear the strain of these two opposing forces.

If this continues,

I'm afraid that Master...

I'm afraid Master's divine vein will snap,

and he will blow up and die.

Stay still!

Mo Li used the Heavenly Divine Miror

to absorb the power of Eternals and demons to practice evil techniques.

His Hidden power is stronger than before.

Stop struggling.

The power of you Eternals and demons

are no match for an ancient deity's divine power.

Mo Li.

Don't you dare assume we'll yield to you

just because you're stronger.

Whether a nobody like you surrenders to me

is of no importance to me.

Either way, I could crush you easily with a flick of my hand.

Why are you gathering all the Eternals and demons together here?

What are you trying to do?

I just want to play a game with all of you.

Bai Shuo.

You guys are familiar with her, right?

Now, all of your lives

are in Bai Shuo’s hands.

Whether you live

or die

is completely up to her.

[To the esteemed Lady Tian Huo]

Hidden Lord Mo Li, with the lives of all Eternals and demons at stake,

demands that Bai Shuo goes to Cold Spring Palace alone

within the next day.

If she does not arrive within the next day, or more than one person arrives,

he will kill all Eternals and demons.

We urge Lady Tian Huo to think carefully.

I've fed him the pill,

but he's still unconscious.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Tian Huo.

At this point,

no matter what happens,

don't hide anything from me.

It's a letter from the demon warriors.

Mo Li has taken control of all the Eternals and demons

and sent word that

you are to go to Cold Spring Palace alone.

Otherwise, in one day,

he will kill all Eternals and demons.

You were always by my side during

every life-and-death moment in the past.

This time,

I'll have to face it myself.

Do you remember I once said that

the words "Xing Yue's Divine Mantle"

seems very light?

It seems so light that I could just assume it as a story,

but it also seems so heavy.

It's as though the fate of the entire world is weighing down on it.

I'm just a human.

I've never once thought of becoming a deity that could save the world.

But now, the world stands on the brink of catastrophe,

its safety suddenly hanging by a thread.

I cannot,

and will not run away.

Fan Yue.

Forgive me for leaving alone.

Have you really thought it through?

At this point,

I have no choice.

Fan Yue has almost expended himself

just to protect the Eternals and demons.

I won't back down either.

I have no idea if Fan Yue will ever wake up,

or when that might be.

But if he wakes up,

you mustn't let him go to Cold Spring Palace.

You may want to save the Eternals and demons,

but have you ever thought about yourself?

Mo Li is clearly targeting you

by demanding you go alone.

Back when my father was forced to die in Ning'an City,

I hated the world

when I was leaving.

I didn't believe in Eternals,

demons, humans,

and even deities.

But along the way,

I found that among all races,

there are still kindness.

There are countless beings

steadfastly upholding justice and their purpose.

They shouldn't be destroyed this way,

nor should the world end this way.

But the Outlander King's Sword is already broken.

Even if you have the Divine Bow,

you don't have usable arrows.

With just this trace of spiritual power left in you,

your journey

could very easily end in death.

In this world,

it's not always about being certain of success

or guaranteeing that nothing will go wrong before we take action.

Many times, we may not have the upper hand

or any certainty of success,

but we still risk it all

to protect

what matters to us,

don't we?

Everyone has their own responsibilities to fulfil.

Though the physical form of deity Xing Yue may have perished,

its Divine Mantle remains undiminished.

Perhaps, it's also for this very purpose.

Bai Shuo.

Tian Huo.

You've never feared death,

whether it was for Fan Yue

or Bright Moon Palace.

You definitely would know

and understand this feeling.

Right?

Don't worry.

I cherish my life,

and I generally have good luck.

I won't die so easily.

Tian Huo.

It has been my honor

to have known you

and journeyed with you.

Thank you

for everything along the way.

If I ever make it back,

let's have a drink together.

Bai Shuo is here.

She really came.

I didn't expect her to come.

You really came.

What?

Did Fan Yue not stop you?

Or is he simply too weak to stop you?

Let them go.

Both the Eternals and demons have never been nice to you.

They either look down on you

or have been itching to fight or kill you.

And yet, you still want to save them?

There's no need for all this nonsense.

You set the terms,

and I showed up as agreed.

I have done what I needed to do.

You should keep your promise too.

Fine.

As long as you promise me one thing,

I will spare all of them.

Bai Shuo.

Don't believe him.

Mo Li is ruthless.

He won't give up so easily.

How noisy.

Where did they go?

Don't worry.

They went back to where they came from.

Their lives are mine

to take at any moment, anyway.

What do you want me to do?

The wedding that was left unfinished 60,000 years ago

should now be completed.

I'm not Xing Yue.

It doesn't matter.

I just want to finish

what I didn't finish 60,000 years ago.

So regardless whether you are Xing Yue or not,

simply just with your face,

I must marry you.
