Your Highness.

I've heard your magic is unparalleled,

the best in the North.

I don't want to be separated from my wife.

Do you have a way?

Your wife is already dead.

You and her are now separated by heaven and earth.

This...

What if I also died?

If two people are dead,

do you have a way

to bind our souls together,

so we'll never be separated?

Yes,

I do.

But this is a forbidden technique,

and you're still so young.

I'm willing to serve you.

Does your mother leave anything behind?

Are you talking about

this?

This sword is made of dragon bone,

Not of mortal origin.

Using it as the focal point of a ritual

allows communication between the realms,

binding your souls together.

Yuanjun, you're awake.

Are you alright?

What happened?

Why are you all standing here?

Yuanjun,

you exhausted yourself descending the mountain.

Your soul just returned.

But it was worth it.

This damn calamity

is finally over.

The calamity is over?

How did it end?

You went through it alone.

How would we know?

Perhaps your soul just returned,

and hasn't fully merged with your form.

So you don't remember.

Jin Tong,

don't just stand there.

Fetch some Soul Restoring Elixir.

Go.

Alright.

Yuanjun,

though the tribulation's over,

ending the cycle,

your

Divine Heart

is shattered.

How is that possible?

What happened

on your journey?

Master Yuanjun,

if you can't recall, then let it go.

As long as you returned safely,

everything else is of little consequence.

[I am the Mountain Deity,]

[charged with loving all the world.]

[How could I possibly love just one person?]

There have been reports of a demon on the mountain, devouring hearts.

Be careful.

You seem like a traveler.

This is Xiyuan Township.

It's small,

but blessed by the Mountain Goddess,

we're very prosperous.

She's all-powerful,

omnipotent.

If you pray sincerely,

she can grant any wish.

Really?

Is she that powerful?

Don't underestimate her.

Legend has it that her divine heart is a treasure

that can bring the dead back to life.

Bring the dead back to life?

Ajiu, Ajiu,

save me.

If someone must be sacrificed,

I'll go in his place.

Back then,

to break the curse,

I descended the mountain

to guide you

to the right path,

ending the tribulation.

When I learned you gave up seizing power,

I thought the curse was broken.

So I faked my death.

But

you used a forbidden technique

to bind your soul to my fragment,

preventing this soul

from returning to my body.

Thus,

I lost these memories.

So I lived for centuries

because my soul was bound to yours,

making me immortal.

But that calamity

was never truly resolved.
