[Dominator of Martial Gods]

[Episode 01]

[With the Demon Clan going rogue,]

[the Martial Domain descended into chaos.]

[Qin Chen, Martial God of the Martial Domain] [A Supreme God named Qin Chen came down]

[Qin Chen, Martial God of the Martial Domain]

[to the Martial Domain to fight against evil and preserve the good,]

[ridding the world of the demons.]

[He was later revered as]

[the Martial God.]

[Nine Heavens, Martial Domain]

[Shangguan Xi'er, Supreme God of the Martial Domain]

We talk in the moonlight.

Together forever,

and may we never be apart.

Chen.

Xi'er,

what do you think

the Heavenly Way

is all about?

The sun, the moon, and you.

The sun represents the day.

The moon represents night.

You and I are just like day and night.

I just want to be with you forever, Chen.

I couldn't care less about the Heavenly Way.

The Heavenly Way…

is a gift from Heaven.

It's intended to let us feel every living being

while being in this circle of life and death.

Chen,

we are lords of the Martial Domain.

What do those mortal beings' life and death,

emotions and feelings

have to do with us anyway?

Xi'er,

you don't get it.

Existence is suffering.

Take these petals, for example.

After blooming,

flowers will die shortly thereafter.

Xi'er,

we…

Xi'er…

You…

Don't blame me for this,

Chen.

Why?

Why?

Are you seriously asking me that?

You don't understand me at all.

Xi'er,

what did I do

to deserve this?

[Feng Shaoyu, Supreme God of the Martial Domain]

Shaoyu?

Wind, thunder, swords, river!

Let me give you a taste of this Seal of Galaxy!

Chen,

you may be an accomplished cultivator,

but you have your back to the wall now!

Martial God,

descend!

Chen,

you have been fatally poisoned.

Stripped of all your power.

If I were you, I'd give up the fight.

It'll take more than this

to contain me!

Heavenly Spirit…

break!

Xi'er,

don't let him get away!

Go!

Chen,

there's no escape from this,

no matter how hard you try.

Xi'er,

Shaoyu,

why are you doing this to me?

My lover,

my buddy,

why?

Chen,

Shaoyu and I were together

before you came into the picture.

I pretended to love you

just so I could use you.

I was going to use you as my stepping stone.

I hadn't bargained on

you having it in you.

You helped me expand my area of influence

and build the Tianwu Empire.

All those years of buddying up to you,

it all paid off.

I even had to watch

you and Xi'er getting all lovey-dovey

day after day.

Being around you

made me sick.

Shaoyu and I have a deal.

When we become Martial Emperors of the Nine Heavens,

it'll be the time of your death.

And then

I can go back to Shaoyu without having to answer to anybody.

Chen,

I hate to admit it,

but you are quite something

to become a legend in the Martial Domain

without any help.

Too bad…

you're going to

die here today.

As a sacrificial offering at my altar.

But…

I can let you live

for the sake of our years of "brotherhood."

As long as you give me this one thing.

You took everything away from me.

I have nothing more to give you.

You spent days training behind closed doors.

I'd imagine

you were studying the divine artifact

you had brought back from the Forbidden Place.

Leave it to me,

and I'll spare your life.

I discovered

the secrets of the universe,

but failed to look through human nature.

For half of my life,

I've been fighting my destiny.

I never would have thought

it would end up like this.

Shaoyu,

you still don't get me.

As much as I want to

live a good long life,

I am never afraid to die.

Look out!

I won't

let you die so easily.

And when you do die,

I will destroy your soul

so you can never be reborn as a human!

[Qin Residence, King of Might's home, the Xuan Kingdom]

Chen.

[Qin Chen, King of Might's grandson] Chen?

[Qin Chen, King of Might's grandson]

What happened to me…?

Chen, you're finally awake.

Where am I?

My boy, I really thought

you were never going to wake up.

Mother?

How were you all beat up?

[Qin Yuechi, King of Might's daughter] I heard people in your academy talking.

Did you really fight a duel with Wei Zhen?

How could he have done this to you?

He clearly wanted you dead.

Don't kill me.

Chen,

what's wrong?

[I don't know what's happening right now.]

[I seem to have had a really long dream.]

[And it was so vivid, as if it was real.]

[Shangguan Xi'er…]

[Feng Shaoyu…]

[Who are they?]

[It feels like some kind of kismet,]

[which planted those memories in my mind.]

Chen, is everything okay?

I'm fine.

You were out for three days.

I was so worried.

Do not ever behave recklessly like this,

you hear me?

If you…

If you had died,

I never would've been able to

bear the pain alone.

Yes…

Mother.

Chen.

Chen, are you all right?

Yeah.

Drink this potion.

It'll help your body recover.

[Mother had been known as the most beautiful woman]

[in the Xuan Kingdom in her day.]

[Secretly admired by countless noblemen and aristocrats from the Capitol.]

[Matchmakers bearing gifts were scrambling to get to her.]

[The reigning emperor]

[even wanted to acquire her as his concubine]

[after hearing what a stunner she was.]

[And that was when]

[she decided to run away from home.]

[She vanished into thin air.]

[Three years later,]

[she returned home]

[with a baby in her arms.]

[Being an unmarried mother] Miss Yuechi has returned.

Miss Yuechi has returned!

[is seen as a huge embarrassment]

[by all of the Tianwu Continent.] Miss Yuechi has returned.

Mr. Qin!

[A woman of loose morals, they call it.] Miss Yuechi has returned!

Miss Yuechi.

[If my grandfather hadn't stood his ground] What is Miss Yuechi doing back here?

[and took my mother and me in]

[in the name of preserving the bloodline,] She has a baby with her.

[my mother and I would have long been kicked out,]

[living homeless on the street.]

Chen,

your bloodline

wasn't awakened this time,

but it doesn't matter.

There might still be a chance.

My bloodline wasn't awakened?

It doesn't matter

if you can't be a skilled fighter, son.

I will always be there

to protect you.

Mother,

don't worry.

I can handle setbacks.

All right,

I'm relieved to hear that.

Miss Yuechi,

took you long enough.

Yanzhi,

Chen just woke up.

He's still weak.

You might startle him.

Huh.

You're awake, Master Chen.

Wonderful news.

What do you want?

Get over yourself, Master Chen.

I didn't come here for you.

Miss Yuechi,

[Yanzhi, a maid at Qin Residence] I suppose you haven't forgotten

the deal you made with Ms. Zhao?

Chen,

rest well.

I have somewhere to be.

Mother,

where are you going?

I'm coming with you.

Oh, monkey.

I'm not leaving the house.

Go get some rest.

I will

be right back.

Mother,

what have you and Ms. Zhao agreed on?

Fill me in.

For someone at death's door,

you sure ask a lot of questions.

I'll be honest with you.

Your mother agreed to Ms. Zhao's request

to meet with Lord Qi today.

Lord Qi

is already in the living room waiting

for your mother.

You'd better not get in the way.

Lord Qi? You mean Zhao Qirui?

What is Zhao Feng up to?

Why is she asking you to see that villain?

You,

get out of here.

What did you just say?

That's a spoiled brat you got there,

Miss Yuechi.

You agreed to meeting with Lord Qi.

You made that promise.

Now you're going back on your word?

That's utter nonsense.

That unpleasant person

made several attempts to see my mother,

all of which were declined.

My mother couldn't have agreed to meet him.

Well, why don't you ask her yourself?

Chen,

you have just regained consciousness.

I'd hate for you to overwhelm yourself.

It's…

just a meeting, nothing more.

I'll be fine.

But Mother,

by doing that,

you're tempting fate.

Pretty bold of you to say that.

You slipped into a coma after a duel.

You were literally on your deathbed.

Your mother shamelessly

kneeled outside Ms. Zhao's room all night,

begging for a wake-up pill.

Ms. Zhao was kind enough to…

Shut your mouth.

Ms. Zhao promised me

she wouldn't tell anyone about it.

[I can't believe Mother suffered such humiliation]

[to save me.]

Miss Yuechi…

Enough.

I'll go with you.

No.

We're not going anywhere.

From now on,

I will not let anyone treat you like a doormat anymore.

As for you,

get out of my face, now.

Oh, please. Being addressed as "Master Chen"

doesn't mean you are my master.

Mind your manners.

Need I remind you that

you're just a maid here at the house?

Wow.

Are you trying to take me down a peg?

Ms. Zhao already knew you wouldn't keep your side of the bargain.

Somebody,

take Miss Yuechi to the living room.

We mustn't keep Ms. Zhao and our guests waiting.

Apologies, Miss Yuechi.

Nobody touches my mother.

You…

You're such a piece of human garbage.

Just so you know, you're not the boss around here.

Get Miss Yuechi to the living room now.

Unless you're ready to bear the consequences

of pissing off Ms. Zhao!

Master Chen,

we're on Ms. Zhao's orders.

If you insist on standing in the way,

I'm afraid we're going to have to do it the hard way.

Sure, go ahead.

If you have a death wish.

Let's see which one of you has the balls to do it.

You silly cocks on your own dunghill.

I could banish you three thousand miles away in accordance with the household rules.

And you'll spend the rest of your life in exile.

Yanzhi,

Master Chen is part of the Qin family.

If he makes a big thing out of this,

we, as the servants, are in big trouble.

Oh.

Did I hear someone say something about being in exile?

Ms. Zhao.

This was too simple a task to screw up, Yanzhi.

I taught you better than this.

It's my fault, Ms. Zhao.

I'm ready to take my punishment.

[Zhao Feng, Qin Yuanhong's wife] Step aside.

You're embarrassing me.

Absolutely.

[Zhao Qirui, Lord Qi of the Xuan Kingdom]

Yuechi,

it's been a while.

Would you look at that?

My sweet nephew was out for a few days,

and suddenly he's a brave heart.

You threatened to exile my people.

You have a lot of ambition, don't you?

Ms. Zhao,

Chen is still young.

He said things he didn't mean

in the heat of the moment.

Please,

let him off.

Young?

As part of the Qin family,

he should have devoted himself to his studies.

Instead, he got into a fight at the academy.

And not to mention all those mean words he used

to humiliate the helpers earlier.

You broke the household rules.

What should be the punishment for that, hmm?

Chen…

he didn't mean it.

You should be the one

to get punished.

You…

Despite being the lady of the house,

you wink at the servants'

mistreatment of the family members.

So much for the household rules.

You even get involved with

a notorious rake in the Capital.

You call that virtuous?

Uh,

I came today

to visit your mother.

So why do you need to be so rude?

That's ridiculous.

Lord Qi is my brother.

That's right.

Well, uh,

Ms. Zhao's ancestors had royal ancestry.

Her referring to me as her brother;

I don't see anything wrong with it.

I don't think I said

it was you, did I?

Uh…

Now that you mention it,

I'll make this simple.

Even as siblings,

having secret rendezvous

is somewhat of a taboo, no?

Uh…

Ms. Zhao,

as Madam of Gaoming, a title granted by His Majesty,

you were supposed to be a role model for other women.

And act with integrity.

If this gets out,

our family could be toppled from our position in the kingdom.

You…

you're out of your mind.

Somebody,

get him!

You won't lay a hand on him.

Sorry,

Miss Yuechi.

Chen,

how dare you fight back.

You asked for this.

Somebody,

Master Chen will be disciplined in accordance with the household rules.

He has to be made an example of!

The audacity!

Drop your sword!

Drop my sword?

Chen, no!

Don't worry, Mother.

I've got this.

Don't push your luck.

Right back at you,

Zhao Feng.

What…

Take advantage of my mother again,

and that's what you'll end up with.

Ms. Zhao,

I thought you had made the arrangements with Yuechi.

Lord Qi,

I can explain.

Save your breath.

Yuechi,

what happened today

was completely unintentional.

I've had feelings for you

for years.

Thought you should know.

Have some self-respect, Your Highness.

Yuechi.

Shut your mouth.

One more step,

and you die.

Qin!

Don't just stand there gawking.

Absolutely.

[Qin Yong, butler of Qin Residence]

Execute him right here and now!

Master Chen,

you might as well give it up

and throw yourself at the mercy of Ms. Zhao.

You want me to back down?

Go ahead and make me.

Well, okay,

if you insist.

Stop, all of you.

My Marquis.

My Marquis.

Yuanhong,

you're right on time.

This little punk

has gone rogue.

He hurt not only the guards

but also Lord Qi.

That's it.

Haven't you made enough fuss?

I didn't want any of this.

It's all because of this little…

he…

He is your nephew.

If he is worthless,

then what does that make us?

You need to start behaving like the lady of the house!

Lord Qi,

I'm sorry you had to witness this.

Their behaviors were extremely inappropriate.

Oh, don't get me started.

See for yourself

what he's done to me!

A Qin had the guts

to assault me!

Sorry, Yuechi,

I didn't mean to scare you.

I hope you're okay.

Yuanhong,

I demand

an explanation

for all this.

Yes, Lord Qi,

I will have an explanation for you.

However, I suppose you wouldn't want it to get out that

you came to see my sister, or would you?

I have other things to attend to.

I won't keep you any longer, Lord Qi.

Qin Yuanhong, look at you,

being all high and mighty.

I will get even with you

for what happened today!

Hmph!

Show yourself out.

Lord Qi.

And the rest of you,

get back to work!

-At once. -Got it.

I…

Out!

Hmph.
