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 40]

I just want to complete

what was left unfinished 60,000 years ago.

So, whether you are Xing Yue or not,

just for that face of yours,

I must marry you.

You have no choice.

Before I say yes,

I want a promise from you.

Go ahead.

You must never harm any living being in this world again.

Since killing them is so easy for you,

why bother with such boring acts?

If you're negotiating with me as the wife

of the Hidden Lord,

I will comply with your terms.

Alright.

I promise you.

Tomorrow,

the Lunar Hidden Sea

will be our wedding venue.

The Lunar Hidden Sea has long disappeared.

60,000 years ago,

Jing Yuan could replicate Xing Yue Pavilion

for Xing Yue in the Demon Race's territory.

Likewise, here in the Eastern Continent,

I can replicate the Lunar Hidden Sea for you.

I want everything

to be exactly as it was 60,000 years ago.

Master,

Bai Shuo was right.

Everyone has their own responsibilities to fulfil.

For the future of the Fox Clan,

Mu Jiu sacrificed himself;

To settle old grudges,

Cang Shan gave his life;

To protect the Polar Region,

you hurt yourself.

To protect the world, Bai Shuo bravely went

to face the danger.

And I...

have my own things to do.

This wedding gown

is exactly the same as the one from 60,000 years ago.

Try it on.

You'll wear it eventually.

Whether it's marrying you or taking control of the world,

I will reclaim everything I've lost.

Stop it.

What's the meaning of all this?

The meaning?

I'm the meaning of this world, aren't I?

If you keep being so arrogant,

you will never understand the true love and sincerity of this world.

Even if you possess 10,000 years of divine power,

it's all just emptiness.

Only the weak

chase after those meaningless meanings.

My Divine Mirror reflects all things.

It can also see all the evil thoughts in the world.

Whether it's Eternals,

demons, humans, or the Outlanders,

all beings

have their selfish and ugly sides.

It was like this 60,000 years ago,

and it will be the same 60,000 years later.

Time will not make it

any better.

Is this the meaning you want?

In this world, both good and evil exist.

Good has meaning

only in the face of evil.

I won't waste words with you.

After tomorrow's wedding,

you will be my Divine Queen.

All the good and evil in this world

will no longer have anything to do with you.

Don't struggle in vain.

You have lost all your five Contemplations and divine power,

leaving you weak.

You can't stir up any more trouble.

Tian Huo?

Master, you're awake.

Where is Bai Shuo?

Xing Yue Divine Arrow has been repaired.

How?

This time,

I didn't report to you in advance.

Will you blame me?

Tian Huo!

Tian Huo,

what's wrong with you?

Why do you have no spiritual power at all?

Back then,

when the first King of Outlanders

saw the remnants of the Divine Arrow,

he forged the Outlander King's Sword with his own blood.

For a thousand years,

only the Hua bloodline

could pull out the Outlander King's Sword

and infuse it with life.

Now that the Outlander King's Sword is broken,

I think

only the spiritual blood of the Hua bloodline

can restore the broken sword.

It's okay.

I... I'll save you.

Master,

don't waste your power.

This is my own choice.

I can save you.

Master,

it won't work.

It'll work! I can save you!

Master.

I also have my own mission.

As the Outlanders' princess,

I've been enjoying respect and honor since I was young,

but not once have I

shouldered the responsibilities that come with it.

This time,

I finally...

I finally did the right thing.

Bai Shuo...

She went to the Cold Spring Palace.

She didn't want me to tell you,

but I know that

if something were to happen to her,

it would be a regret

you would carry forever.

Master,

this journey

has been so difficult.

So many have already left us.

Take the Divine Arrow and save her now.

Don't leave any regrets.

I'll leave these two

to you for safekeeping.

Don't be sad.

I am just...

going to find them.

In this life,

being able to follow you...

leaves me...

with no regrets.

♫ That year, that year ♫

♫ The leaves fell unnoticed after the flowers bloomed ♫

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

♫ They unfold, one page after another ♫

♫ That year, that year ♫

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

♫ Falling to the mud, burying the memories ♫

♫ Layer after layer ♫

♫ Another year passed ♫

♫ Another year passed ♫

When the Heavenly Bell stops,

a grand ceremony should be held.

I've been waiting

for this couple's bow for 60,000 years.

The Purple Moon?

You have lost all your five Contemplations and divine power.

With such a mortal body,

why can you wield the Purple Lunar Power of Jing Yuan?

Because I have reestablished the divine pact with Fan Yue.

Of course, we can wield what belongs to each other.

Fan Yue,

forgive me for leaving alone.

But before I leave,

I need to borrow something from you.

You will support me,

right?

You should know

you're just a mortal now,

not a deity.

What you've been cultivating all along is Eternal magic.

Now, you've forcibly channeled demonic power into your body.

Even a deity

cannot merge Eternal power with demonic power.

From now on,

you will be tortured by the evil aura every day.

For those ants,

for killing me,

you've turned yourself into a creature

that is neither human, nor Eternal, nor demon.

Is it worth it?

I am not Xing Yue,

nor have I ever thought of becoming a deity.

I am not like her,

born to bring peace to the world.

What I've always wanted

was simply to protect

the people I love and cherish.

But now, the people I love and cherish

have all died or been hurt because of you.

If I don't kill you,

what meaning will my life have,

even if I live on in peace?

I will let you know

that the love and cherishing

you think you have

are all false!

I am the strongest in the world.

Even if I betray the world and kill everyone,

I still love you!

But why?

It has been 60,000 years,

and you've always treated my heart like worthless trash

and never treasured it even for a moment!

Love is not just about receiving.

Love is also about sacrifice.

It's about giving.

But everything you do is murder and possession.

What you do is only to satisfy your own selfish desires.

Mo Li,

you don't have a true heart,

and you don't know love.

If I can drag you and Hidden Heart to death with me,

then today,

even if I die here,

it would be worth it.

I did nothing wrong.

It's the world that is foolish.

Fan Yue?

You fixed the arrow?

Tian Huo did it.

She sacrificed herself to the arrow

and recasted it.

The Xing Yue Divine Bow has long been destroyed.

How did you find it?

The Divine Bow reappeared in the world

because of you.

Fu Ling is the bow spirit of the Divine Bow.

When she died,

the Divine Bow appeared.

No wonder she could hurt me.

Heaven,

you really are cunning.

You actually made the bow spirit of the Divine Bow fall in love with Chong Zhao.

You think that with such a bond,

you can stop me?

Dream on.

You keep saying

that I don't know love

and I deserve to die.

Today, I will let you see with your own eyes

how foolish so-called true love

and sacrifice are?

How could it be?

60,000 years ago,

I fell beneath the Xing Yue Divine Bow.

Do you think that after 60,000 years,

I still don't have a way

to deal with this one and only divine weapon

that could threaten me?

My Hidden power is even stronger than before.

And you are just a mortal.

The mere Xing Yue Divine Bow

can no longer hurt me.

Chong Zhao!

What are you doing?

Chong Zhao,

you actually managed to stop me from entering my sea of consciousness?

Shuo! Fan Yue!

It's Zhao.

Zhao, wake up!

You've always been arrogant and conceited,

which is why you forgot a saying in this world:

"Lie in wait to deceive the enemy,

store up strength to wait for the right moment."

I indeed can't kill you

and can't leave the sea of consciousness.

But if I exhaust my Eternal power,

I can still hold you off for a while.

Chong Zhao!

What are you doing?

Shuo,

I've survived this long

because Xi was still alive at that time.

I once had an unrealistic hope,

wanting to reclaim my body and be with her.

I know my death can only severely wound Mo Li

and can't kill him.

So after Xi died, I've been waiting.

♫ No matter if I'm drunk or not, I just want to be reckless once ♫

I've been waiting for a chance to give him a fatal blow.

Now, I've got it.

♫ Because love is thrilling ♫

My death will be worth it.

♫ If you tear open my heart ♫

Shuo,

Fan Yue,

don't show any mercy.

♫ I can hold you a little tighter ♫

Remember,

kill Mo Li,

♫ This pain will gradually fade ♫

and save the world!

♫ Time withers the moonlight ♫

♫ All that's left is pitch darkness ♫

♫ I want to tear apart ♫

♫ This sky for you ♫

♫ A lifetime of guarding everything with you ♫

♫ Crossing the abyss to fulfill our vow ♫

Zhao!

♫ 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 ♫

♫ In exchange for a lifetime of passion ♫

Zhao.

Mo Li,

you've lost.

In the end,

sacrifice defeated your evil.

Do you think

I would die so easily?

Back then, even Xing Yue and Jing Yuan

couldn't destroy my Hidden Heart with the Xing Yue Bow.

Do you think you can do it?

Now, I've grown even stronger.

Chong Zhao is dead,

and this body is about to vanish.

Then I will use the power of the entire world

to rebuild my divine body!

The Hidden Heart?

Fan Yue!

Even if you use yourself as the vessel,

you still can't trap me!

For me,

nothing is impossible.

It's just

a matter of destroying both you and me!

Fan Yue!

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Shuo,

do you still remember

the promise you made to me

on the cliff in the Polar Region?

I'll take care of Bright Moon Palace for you.

I'll accompany Tian Huo.

I'll go and see

every mountain and river on the Eastern Continent,

guarding every star, sun, and moon.

I promise you.

You said

you'd never leave me alone again.

Let the calamity from 60,000 years ago

end today!

Don't leave this pain to future generations!

Fan Yue,

you can't trap me!

Do it, Shuo!

Release the true Xing Yue Arrow.

Let's put an end to all of this together!

You're asking me to send you to your death with my own hands.

I bear the Divine Mantle of the Demon Lord

and the responsibility for all living beings.

I'm willing to die.

It's not for the mission bestowed upon me by the Heaven,

but for you,

and for the countless living beings in this world!

I don't know what a deity should do.

But I know this is what I,

Fan Yue, the Demon King of the Polar Region, must do.

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

If the Hidden Heart reappears,

the Eastern Continent will definitely be destroyed!

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

You know it.

It's the only way.

Draw your bow, Shuo!

♫ As the wind stirs, the clouds gather ♫

♫ As the clouds shift, the moon becomes full ♫

♫ Love is the hardest thing to understand ♫

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

♫ All the answers are already explained ♫

♫ I'll owe you all of my life ♫

♫ But we're destined to part ♫

♫ How can I downplay this? ♫

♫ 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 ♫

I'm willing to exchange my life

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

for the peace...

of a city!

♫ As you turn into a falling star ♫

The world is vast.

The journey ahead is long.

Promise me,

No matter what happens in the future,

you must continue

to live freely like now.

I hope Master lives a long life without worries,

that the Bright Moon Palace

is the best in the Demon Race,

that Cang Shan eats a lot every day,

and that Tian Huo lives with me happily.

Life is the process of going from having nothing

to having nothing again.

I've always loved freedom.

Now,

I'm finally free.

I'm like the morning light,

while you are like the stars.

The stars shine brightly

as the moon emerges from the clouds.

You must forever,

always...

be that unbreakable Bai Shuo.

I am just...

going to find them.

In this life,

being able to follow you...

leaves me...

with no regrets.

The sixth Contemplation,

the Contemplation of great love.

It's been 60,000 years,

Shuo.

So many deaths were the price

for this one chance to give him a fatal blow!

Don't waste their sacrifice!

Do it!

♫ 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 ♫

Fan Yue.

♫ What kind of tree never takes root? ♫

♫ What kind of roots never turn into trees? ♫

It doesn't hurt.

♫ To break the roots of love, to look at the past and seal one's heart ♫

How could you

make me make such a decision?

♫ I'm your wanderer ♫

The Shuo I know

♫ The flowers flew away ♫

is the bravest person in the world.

In the future,

you'll live well, right?

♫ My tears are streaming down like rain ♫

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

♫ On the vast sea, you and I ♫

Are you leaving?

Shuo,

the wind is rising.

♫ The flowers flew away ♫

Shuo.

♫ My tears are streaming down like rain ♫

I will always be with you.

I'll turn into stars,

into the sun and moon,

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

into every breeze

that passes by your side,

♫ On the vast sea, you and I ♫

always staying with you.

Shuo.

I love you.

♫ 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 used to think

that Jing Lei was impulsive

and always making noise in my ears.

Now that he's gone,

I find it a bit lonely.

I'm not used to it.

I'm still here.

Before, with Jing Lei around,

there was no chance for me to show myself.

As long as you like,

I can

chatter in your ear all day,

making it so noisy that you can't enjoy your food

or sleep at night.

Alright.

You two are now the two Sect Leaders

jointly in charge of Lanling.

It's inappropriate to bicker all day.

No, no.

From now on, there will be no Sect Leader in Lanling.

The three of us will supervise each other

and jointly protect the world.

That's true.

The key responsibility of the Eternals

lies in establishing the right way,

not in seeking power.

The Eternals finally found peace.

It's just a pity

that Chong Zhao will never come back.

Perhaps this is just how things are in the world...

rarely perfect.

In this turmoil of the Hidden Lord,

all the races worked together.

In fact, whether they are Eternals, demons, humans,

or Outlanders,

as long as they have a heart to protect all living beings,

they are our kindred spirits

and should be respected by Lanling.

But if you ask me,

the one who deserves respect the most

is Bai Shuo.

Over the past 60,000 years,

who would have thought that

a mortal could become a deity?

A deity

is not defined by how high one's spiritual power is

or by bloodlines,

but by

having a great heart full of love.

Although Bai Shuo inherited the Divine Mantle of Supreme Deity Xing Yue,

she did not become Supreme Deity Xing Yue.

Instead, with her own strength, she became Supreme Deity Bai Shuo

and forged

her own path.

[Tomb of My Father, Bai Xun]

[Tomb of My Father, Bai Xun]

Father,

I've come to see you.

This is a 50-year-old wine.

I took it from the wine cellar of the Unbridled Pavilion.

[Tomb of My Father, Bai Xun]

Let's try it together.

Father,

I miss you.

Good wine!

Little brat,

I'll drink with you.

Father.

I'm here.

I found Xi.

I know.

But I failed to protect her.

That was Xi's choice.

♫ Don't linger, don't regret ♫

It's not your fault.

By the way,

♫ The last moonlight ♫

you've been away from home for so long.

How is it?

♫ The water from my hometown flows gently ♫

Have you become an Eternal?

You still remember that?

♫ Sending me to the distant place ♫

I was...

♫ In this life, at this time ♫

insincere and fell into demonic ways,

♫ I dare not look back ♫

so I couldn't become an Eternal.

So be it.

♫ Is there the same moonlight ♫

It's not a big deal.

Being a happy mortal

is also a good thing.

♫ On your path? ♫

Father,

I've seen the world

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

I once yearned for.

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

Along the way,

I've loved,

♫ In the chaotic night wind, the melody stopped ♫

and been loved.

♫ The moonlight is gentle ♫

But now they are all gone.

♫ All the feelings turned into nothing but a dream ♫

I've reached the pinnacle of this world,

♫ Reminiscing about the good old days ♫

becoming the strongest person in it.

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

But the price was too high.

♫ Forget all about the past and leave it behind ♫

If I could choose,

I would rather have never left

♫ Time after time ♫

this little Ning'an City.

♫ Oh, melancholy ♫

I would rather just be Bai Shuo.

I've seen everything

you've been through.

Shuo,

you've done really well.

You must believe

that those who once stood by your side,

even though they've left,

will always stay in your heart.

Just like me,

though I've gone,

no matter when or where,

I'll always be with you.

♫ 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 ♫

♫ The moonlight is gentle ♫

♫ All the feelings turned into nothing but a dream ♫

Father,

don't worry.

♫ Reminiscing about the good old days ♫

I will walk

this path well.

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

♫ Forget all about the past and leave it behind ♫

Have you understood?

Today, I am touched by your sincerity, as true as that

which can be witnessed by the sun and moon.

I can confidently tell you

the true identity of the guide.

Master Sun?

You are not a mortal.

Even I cannot see through your power.

Who exactly are you?

Who am I?

60,000 years ago,

on the Lunar Hidden Sea,

didn't you ask me the same question?

You are...

I am neither a being of this world

nor a deity of this world.

I have had many names,

but perhaps the one you're most familiar with

is Heaven.

Back when we were in Ning'an City,

you knew who I was?

That's right.

I knew that the Hidden Lord would return to the world,

and I knew you possessed the Divine Mantle of Supreme Deity Xing Yue.

So,

I guided you to meet the Demon Lord once again.

Since you've been here all along,

why didn't you kill Mo Li?

Why did you stand by and watch

so many sacrifices and departures happen?

Heaven is the law of this world

and cannot directly interfere in worldly matters.

Even though I knew Mo Li's evil,

I couldn't completely erase him.

So I awakened you

to protect this world.

And in the end, you did it.

Bai Shuo,

you didn't become Xing Yue.

Instead, you became a deity with the body of a mortal,

the only exception in the world over the past ten thousand years.

You also proved to me

that Heaven

can be wrong too.

I once believed

that by forcing Xing Yue to have no love,

she would become the strongest

and could prevent the catastrophe.

But I failed.

Now, I see

a stronger power in you.

This power

is love,

sacrifice, and protection.

What's the point of telling me that Heaven

has made a mistake now?

Can you undo everything that has happened,

or bring back those who have already passed?

In this world, cause and effect,

good and evil, all have their due.

For love, one can die, but can also be reborn.

Those who died for the great cause

will eventually return

in another way.

Consider it Heaven's way

of compensating for the world.

Remember,

the essence of a deity

is in protection.

Only true and great love

can form an undying power,

crossing all boundaries,

overcoming all evil,

and forever existing with the world.

Shuo!

I'm back, Shuo.

♫ The person standing far away ♫

♫ Don't be afraid ♫

♫ The stars will guide you to me ♫

♫ Walk towards me ♫

These days,

I have been to many places

to see

the magnificent sights you mentioned.

♫ My heart feels so... ♫

The sun, moon, stars,

♫ It's pounding as I wait for you ♫

drifting clouds, and gentle breeze.

I saw everything as traces of you,

as if you were right by my side.

♫ The stars light up your eyes ♫

But you always came with the wind

and faded away with it.

♫ You are my distant call ♫

I know

those were never truly you.

♫ You are my first and last ♫

Is the you

before me now real?

♫ My heart is trembling for you ♫

Shuo,

this time, I'll use my whole life to answer you.

♫ In this moment where we embrace each other ♫

♫ Let's never let go ♫

Fan Yue,

the wind is rising.

It's not the wind.

It's my heartbeat.

♫ 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 ♫

Fan Yue,

thank you for coming back.

[The End]
