LOVE AND REDEMPTION

EPISODE 58

Are you trying to revolt against me, General?

Stop lying to me!

Tell me.

What are these?

Every single piece of my body, who put them together for me?

Do you

feel a tiny bit guilty about what you did to me?

God of War!

Shouldn’t you call me Rahu Ketu?

You conspired with Southern Lord

and used the Jade Cup of Southern immortals to seal my soul!

Now, I want you to explain yourself.

Let me ask you!

Where is my soul?

Isn’t it good to be God of War?

Fine.

All these years,

I’ve lived in confusion.

I didn’t know where I was born or came from.

I had no name because you dared not mention it.

I had no family and friends

because you’re afraid that I’d find out my origin.

And I never had one single soldier under my command.

You relied on my ability, and yet you’re scared of me.

You’re afraid that I’d recall everything, lead the army, and rebel against you!

In fact, the reason I’m so different is because I’m not myself.

No wonder I felt upset whenever I killed an Asura.

Because we came from the same clan.

And you, King Bailing, ordered me to kill them all!

Tell me, why did you do that?

Are you sure you can control me forever?

You deceived me into becoming the God of War.

I have always trusted you.

How dare you and the heavens use me like this!

God of War!

You’re being disobedient and rebellious. This is unpardonable!

What did I do wrong?

It’s your fault.

Ask Jade Emperor to come and see me!

If not, I will burn the heavens down!

Even though you’re a brave general,

you shouldn’t have barged into the celestial hall

and bawled at King Bailing!

This heavens,

I could protect it.

And I can kill it.

How outrageous you are!

Take her down!

Bailing!

I want you to explain yourself today!

Bailing.

Just you wait.

I will definitely take it back.

God of War!

- Enough! - Stop calling me God of War!

I will not let you go!

I will kill you.

I will kill all you rats and avenge myself!

God of War is attempting a rebellion and revolting against the realm!

Escort her to the Altar of Banishment at once!

Yu Si Feng.

Do you see this?

This is the heavens that you wanted to protect.

They remain despicable.

And they don’t keep their word.

They keep spouting lies.

Heaven and earth are the furnace. His copper, all things of creation.

In that case, let’s throw everyone into the furnace for reformation.

Today, I am going to kill everyone in the heavens.

I shall reorder the three realms.

Do you all think you can guard this Sea of Life and Death?

Yu Si Feng.

Just stay in this barrier.

- No. - And watch how I kill them.

No.

The Sea of Life and Death has receded.

Listen my fellow tribes!

Let us storm the heavens!

Look.

That’s Jade Emperor’s mansion.

Bailing.

I’m here.

You can’t go any further! You can’t destroy Transcendent Furnace!

And I won’t allow you to talk the stinky woman into doing evil!

You must obey me because you are Chu Xuan Ji’s spirit beast.

Otherwise, you will be punished.

The stinky woman is my one and only master.

You are not.

Let her out now!

You used to be the spirit beast of Chu Xuan Ji.

I’m not going to kill you.

But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to talk to me.

Scram!

Brother Rahu.

You’re here.

I remember we once promised that we’d drink and talk every day.

I’m surprised that thousand years have passed.

Since we’re gathering here today, why don’t we catch up

so as to fulfill our promise?

Do you think I’ll still believe what you say, Bailing?

Brother Rahu.

Can’t you even catch up with me?

A cup of wine crippled me thousand years ago.

If you were me, would you drink such tea again?

You worry too much.

Brother Ketu.

You’re always on my mind.

That’s why I came to advise you.

For the sake of our friendship from the heavens to mortal realm,

stop it.

Bailing.

You lie too much. That’s why you’re deceiving yourself.

Have you ever looked down at your hands?

They’re full of Chu Xuan Ji’s blood.

The blood of God of War. And mine.

It’s not dry yet.

All you want is a marionette you can control.

Today,

I am going to take revenge against this blood feud!

I’ve been trying to save you for thousand years,

but I can’t get rid of your murderous thoughts.

It seems that Asuras are incurably murderous.

Forget it.

Look, what is this?

Mirror of 36 Heavenly Spirits?

That’s right.

This Mirror of 36 Heavenly Spirits restrain all kinds of demons

and get rid of all kinds of evil thoughts.

Today, I am going to capture you with it.

And I hope you will abandon your murderous thoughts and repent!

Bailing.

In the Sea of Life and Death, I saw thousands souls of Asuras who were killed.

They’ve been tortured by hatred for thousands of years.

And they’ve looked forward to avenge themselves.

You want us to abandon the murderous thoughts and repent?

Today, I will let them ask you this.

When will you reap what you sow?

Next, it’s your turn.

Rahu Ketu.

So what if you manage to destroy the mirror?

This is Heavenly Central Hall, where the strongest heaven’s law lies.

You can’t even figure out where I am.

Don’t you act outrageous here!

I know you’re being protected by the heaven’s law.

And you think I can’t hurt you.

But what a pity. Heaven’s law was made when the world was created.

As long as I overturn Transcendent Furnace and rewrite the rules,

you won’t be able to hide yourself.

What a boaster you are!

Transcendent Furnace is the root of the three realms.

There is no way you can find it!

Is it?

You seem to have forgotten that I was once God of War of the heavens.

I happen to know how to make it show itself.

Stop it!

Stop it now!

Xuan Ji.

Who are you who’ve trespassed Mount Kunlun?

It’s outrageous of you to come to Xi Wangmu’s backyard.

If you disturb Jade Emperor’s rest,

heavenly punishment will be meted out to you.

Heavenly officer,

we came all the way here to report something to Jade Emperor.

You’re mouthy.

Kick them off to the mortal realm.

- Yes! - Off to the mortal realm?

We walked a long way!

- It took a lot of effort to come up here! - What are you waiting for?

Take all of them down!

Old fogey, aren’t you being unreasonable?

Bring it on then!

We’re here to beg Jade Emperor. We can’t act recklessly.

But do we let them send us back to the mortal realm?

Since he said that we can’t disturb Jade Emperor, we will then...

- Jade Emperor! - Old Jade Emperor, come out!

- Jade Emperor, we’re here to see you! - Jade Emperor!

- Come out! - Jade Emperor!

- We would like to see Jade Emperor! - Come out and see us!

- Come out now! - Save us!

Take all of them down!

- We want to see Jade Emperor! - Come out, Old Jade Emperor!

Lord Xuan Huo, let them see me.

Jade Emperor, but they...

Jade Emperor.

They are here.

We have here two mortals, two Rose Gold Birds,

and a demon monkey.

What are you here for?

Jade Emperor, we’re all family and friends of Chu Xuan Ji.

We came all the way to Mount Kunlun to ask for your help.

Chu Xuan Ji?

That lass who’s the reincarnation of God of War.

I remember that her power of God of War has awaken.

The mortal realm is now invincible.

What else can I do for her?

Jade Cup is opened.

Xuan Ji has become Star of Mosha, Rahu Ketu.

He’s going to lead the demons and attack the heavens.

And he wants to reshape the three realms.

You must save the three realms, please.

And save Xuan Ji!

It is true that one reaps what one sows.

The time has finally come.

Jade Emperor.

Why are you still playing chess?

Because I have yet to figure out this game.

Jade Emperor.

The three realms are going to be ruined. Aren’t you worried?

I once advised Bailing against it, but he insisted on doing so.

Thus, what is happening.

Everyone from the three realms are all in this calamity.

It’s kind of you to worry about the people.

But the heaven’s law made me the Jade Emperor.

I must obey the law.

Without a chance, I can’t interfere with the fate of three realms.

You should leave.

What is a chance?

We came all the way here to see you. Now that’s a chance.

Both the mortal realms and sects are fighting against the Heaven Fire

and rescuing the people. That too is a chance.

Yu Si Feng came to the mortal realm because of Xuan Ji.

That’s more of a chance.

I think, surely you know his name in the heavens, Xi Xuan.

He is trying his best to save the three realms.

We are doing the same thing. So is everyone else.

And you’re not doing anything about it. Chance? That’s just an excuse!

Xi Xuan.

He is as persistent as he was.

Lass, you’re right.

But this is their chance, not mine.

Chance is not predictable, and yet heart is.

I am holding a black stone and solving this endgame.

It is the chance I have.

If I manage to win this game, that means my chance is here.

But you see,

now the white stones are more than black stones.

This shows that my chance are still far away.

Fine. Since you’re helping us only if the black stones win,

I’ll help you solve this game then.

Now that the chessboard is full of black stones, you won.

How could you?

How outrageous you are!

How dare you spoil Xi Wangmu’s endgame!

Hurry and take down this disobedient lass!

Interesting.

It is truly interesting.

It was an unsolvable endgame.

And the ink has dyed the white stones black.

It is against the rules to call this a victory.

But it cannot be called a defeat

since the board is full of black stones.

Perhaps I didn’t realize that because I was so involved in the game.

And you jumped out of the game.

And that’s the solution.

Fine.

I’ll come with you.

Thank you, Jade Emperor!

Jade Emperor!

What about me?

How do I go back?

My lord, what do we do?

What else could we do?

The solution is to jump out of the game.

Let’s walk back.

How dare you!

You didn’t see this coming, did you?

The God of War who used to protect the heavens...

is now turning it upside down!

What an irony!

You tried to make God of War serve the heavens, by fair means or foul.

Fine!

Today, I will use this face of God of War

to destroy the heavens you’ve meant to protect

and avenge my humiliation with my blood!

Rahu Ketu!

You’re ruining the world and the people!

You are unforgivable!

Unforgivable?

I’ve become unforgivable

when I killed the Asuras thousands of years ago!

The wails you are hearing,

the Asuras I killed let out the same wails!

They say every living thing suffers.

But why do they have to suffer?

It’s because of the heaven’s law and fate!

Heaven’s law

is made by the Transcendent Furnace.

I just need to overturn the furnace,

and all this suffering will cease to exist!

Dream on!

I am standing right here, and you shall not go near the furnace!

You are overestimating yourself!

I will not let you destroy the three realms!

You want to die?

No rush.

You are next!

No!

Xuan Ji.

Yu Si Feng.

Stop digging your own grave.

Rahu Ketu.

If the Transcendent Furnace gets destroyed,

everything will cease to exist.

What you love and hate will all be gone.

You can’t do that.

I am Star of Mosha, not Chu Xuan Ji.

I don’t want love and hate.

Just let it go.

Yu Si Feng.

Don’t think I won’t kill you.

If you really want to kill me,

go ahead then.

I’m going to die anyway after the furnace gets destroyed.

Instead of dying for no reason,

I’d rather be killed by you.

Didn’t you leave half of your primordial spirit in Demon Citadel?

I want a complete self.

If the furnace gets ruined, my memory will be gone.

Even if this body survives, it’s no different than death.

I’d rather be killed by you.

That’s better than living like a living dead that has no memory.

I have no interest in killing you myself.

Since you didn’t preserve any primordial spirit,

you shall fend for yourself.

Jade Emperor.

Bailing.

I told you so.

Xi Xuan.

Jade Emperor.

You’re still in the mortal realm.

I should call you by the name you use there.

Yu Si Feng.

I know everything you did.

Well done.

Long time no see, Rahu Ketu.

I was wondering who could stop my divine weapons.

It turns out that Jade Emperor is here.

This has to do with the three realms.

Not only should I be here, everyone should come here.

Greetings, Jade Emperor.

Xuan Ji, we’ve told Jade Emperor about your grievance.

He’ll take care of it. You need not ruin Transcendent Furnace anymore.

Jade Emperor.

Are you all here to stop me?

I’m not trying to stop you.

But the resentment between you and Bailing

has to do with all the lives in three realms.

As the lord of heavens, I have to solve this problem.

Jade Emperor.

This demon is unstoppable.

I tried my best, but I couldn’t stop him.

Please take him down, Jade Emperor!

I told you so. Everything has karma.

You made the God of War and killed all the Asuras.

You ordered both the heavens and mortal realm to kill the demons.

You initiated Heavenly Meteor Formation and offered up Shaoyang.

You killed the mortals with Sea of Life and Death.

They’re all extremely tragic incidents.

Those lost lives, they all belonged to the three realms.

And now you’re accusing Rahu Ketu of being demonish.

I think you are the one who’s being demonish!

Jade Emperor.

I did all this to protect the three realms!

Not at all, it’s to protect your madness!

Is this what you want?

In fact, that day you’ve made the wrong decision

at Baiyu Pavilion by the bank of Ruoshui River.

No.

That’s not the case.

Do you refuse to believe it?

Fine. Let me show you what it would look like

if you did not poison Rahu Ketu’s wine thousands of years ago.

You need not worry.

In fact, I came with a good news.

Immortals and demons are having a fierce war.

There’s no good news.

It has to do with this great war.

Two days ago, I submitted a memorial to His Majesty

requesting for a ceasefire in the heavens and Demon Citadel.

His Majesty said yes to it.

Really?

Positive.

After this drink with you, I’ll go communicate the decree.

The entire army of Asura will withdraw and head back to Demon Citadel.

The three realms will be peaceful from then on.

Why don’t you finish this cup of wine?

- Sure. - Here.

- Please. - Please.

Bailing.

You ruined the peace we could have had.

The war broke out again because the Asuras didn’t receive the decree.

If you could stop back then, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

But you insisted on judging others by your own standards,

and went down to human realm to control God of War’s trial.

In fact, if you hadn’t gone down the realm,

this trial would’ve been over by now.

I, Chu Xuan Ji, have completed all ten trials.

And I have regained my flesh and blood.

I know what love is.

I seek for your permission to come back to the heavens, Jade Emperor.

Yu Si Feng and I will work together

to protect everyone in the three realms.

Is it my fault?

Is it really my fault?

Bailing.

Everything in this world has its own conscience.

If you don’t move, he won’t.

But you buried your evil inside the heart and manipulated others.

Without you knowing,

this evil of yours has long grown into a very tall tree.

A gigantic and merciless tree.

It’s me.

I’ve hurt the three realms.

It’s me.

It’s all because of me.

You always thought that it’s God of War who’s being evil.

You thought it’s Rahu Ketu.

In fact, you’re the evil one.

Everything in this world is originally empty.

Out of nothing, yin and yang spin.

They reinforce and counteract each other.

The heavens is originally empty. So is Asura.

Since they’re both empty, how can the heavens be superior?

How can the mortal and demon realms be inferior?

You cared too much about the heavens’ safety.

That’s why you became irreversibly evil.

Please give me some hints, Jade Emperor.

How can I make up for it?

Please give me some hint, Jade Emperor!

Too late.

It is already too late.

Jade Emperor.

I caused this calamity.

I know that I’m deeply sinful.

Today, I will strip myself of my immortal qualities and powers

to compensate the world for what I did.

King Bailing, you are the head of heavens.

Without the heavenly qualities, you will devolve into a trivial deity.

Please think twice!

- Please think twice, King Bailing. - Please don’t do that, King Bailing.

Please think twice, King Bailing.

For thousands of years,

I’ve worried too much.

That’s why I became like this.

Stop talking.

From today onward, you all should learn from my mistakes

and behave yourselves.

Bailing.

Is this really what you want?

Jade Emperor.

I have made up my mind.

Fine.

Perhaps

this is your chance.

- King Bailing! - King Bailing!

King Bailing.

King Bailing!

King Bailing!

Rahu Ketu.

Bailing has stripped himself of his heavenly qualities.

He is now a powerless trivial deity.

Could you have mercy on him?

Jade Emperor.

You shouldn’t have bothered yourself.

Are you trying to make me change my mind with this show?

Fine.

Then let me ask you.

Will the Asuras come back to life with him being stripped of heavenly qualities?

With him being stripped of heavenly power,

will I be able to forget that painful suffering?

You’ve underestimated my pain.

Fine. Even if the three realms are slaughtered as you wish,

then what?

Everything will be empty after that.

You were a human in the first nine lives and couldn’t stop being resentful.

But you finally got over it in this life.

And you’ve found the most important person in your life.

Isn’t this far better than being a murderous tool?

You once asked me this.

Where else can you go since you’re not a deity or Asura?

Isn’t the mortal realm where your heart is?

Or, do you really want to destroy everything in the mortal realm

and indulge in the anger?

So what if I indulge in the anger?

That’s the path I chose. I need to figure it out.

Be it Rahu Ketu or Chu Xuan Ji,

in your eyes, they are just insignificant existence.

Even though my life is insignificant,

I will never let you all mess with it.

As long as the heaven’s law remains unchanged,

there will be another evil Bailing even though this one has been banished.

Thus, only by destroying the Transcendent Furnace

can I get rid of your arrogance.

Jade Emperor.

Fight with me or go away.

It’s the heavens’ fault. I have no right to stop you.

If you insist on destroying the ruin, I can’t do nothing about it.

Yet, when the furnace collapses and the karma vanishes,

all of your friends and family will return to the chaos void.

Is that really what you want?

Xuan Ji. Don’t, Xuan Ji!

Rahu Ketu.

Turn around and look at your family and friends.

They could’ve stayed at Shaoyang for their safety.

But they couldn’t bear to forget

the experiences we share.

That’s why they came here despite the difficulties.

Although they know they’d be killed, they want you to know that

they care a lot about you.

Whether you’re Rahu Ketu or Xuan Ji, in this life,

those around you love you deeply.

They protect you.

You’re no longer that lonely Star of Mosha.

You’re a family member, friend,

a loved one whom we can’t let go.

Demon Lord, listen to it.

These people are trying to talk you into turning into Chu Xuan Ji.

In fact, they don’t care about you at all.

They care only about Chu Xuan Ji.

After all, these are all Chu Xuan Ji’s family, friends,

and loved one.

They’re not yours.

Our great army

has scattered the primordial spirit around Demon Citadel.

When the furnace is collapsed and the three realms are ruined,

the world will belong to us demons.

Don’t let their words ruin our grand plan.

Since Bailing didn’t care about life,

why should I care about love, friends, and family?

They are impermanent.

Jade Emperor, I am definitely destroying the furnace.

If that’s the case, go ahead then.

Xuan Ji.

All of your friends and family will return to the chaos void.

Is that really what you want?

Xuan Ji.

No.

No!

What is this?

I have just hit the String of Yellow Millet and let you foresee

what happens when the three realms are destroyed.

Illusion.

It is all an illusion!

It is not an illusion.

If you insist on smashing the furnace, what you saw will become the reality.

I cannot stop you from taking revenge.

But it concerns the life on three realms.

I just hope that you won’t regret your decision.

Rahu Ketu.

You said you were a heartless man.

But you just shed tears.

How can a heartless man

shed tears?

It’s obvious that you’re gaining fresh and blood.

Try to accept yourself.

Don’t let your hatred blind you.

Shut up!

I will not believe everything you say!

Demon Lord, if you are wavering because of their sweet nothings,

listen to what I am about to say and you will no longer hesitate.

Yu Si Feng has long betrayed you.

He said he came to the heavens and discussed it with King Bailing.

In fact, they have long decided to help the heavens change your mind.

If you listen to him and don’t ruin the three realms,

that shows he can control you.

This Yu Si Feng.

It is obvious that

he wants to be the new Jade Cup which King Bailing can use

to seal your soul!

Demon Lord.

You’ve broken my defensive spell.

You want to kill me.

Yuan Lang.

I’d have bought into your lie if you’d framed somebody else.

But I remember every single thing Yu Si Feng did in his ten lives.

You said he betrayed me.

Do you think I’ll believe you?

Demon Lord.

I am wrong.

I am wrong!

You betrayed the Demon Citadel, framed Wu Zhi Qi,

and seized the power of God of War.

They are all your schemes.

If Bailing is called vicious,

you can be called a backstabber.

There is no way I’m keeping a backstabber by my side.

Take your own life.

Demon Lord.

I have been working for you for thousands of years.

Now that we are going to succeed, you want me to kill myself?

You were working for yourself, not me.

Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to.

If I really destroy the three realms, my next enemy would be you.

I never thought that the effort I put into the grand plan

would eventually lead to my death.

That’s really careless of me.

Demon Lord, it seems that you’ve bought into their nonsense!

And you are not going to destroy the furnace.

If so, you shall be burnt into ashes in the Great Gold Flame!

I, Yuan Lang, want to be the head of three realms!
