LOVE AND REDEMPTION

Episode 57 Subbed by Productive Procrastination

Never expected it was you.

Xi Xuan.

Whether in Heaven or the Mortal Realm

you always opposing me.

Thanks to you

I remember everything now.

You really do care so much about all life, Dijun Bai Lin.

Do you truly feel you’ve done nothing wrong

to the God of War

to Xuanji or to Luohou?

And who are you today asking me that question?

As the Heavenly Emperor’s son Xi Xuan?

Or as the red-golden bird demon under the

Mosha Star’s command Luohou Jidu?

I almost forgot.

Your Highness’ mother

is the princess of the demon clan.

10,000 years ago when the Three Realms were in harmony

and the Demon Realm served the Heavenly Realm,

the Demon King offered his beloved daughter to the Heavenly Emperor as a show of good faith.

The Heavenly Emperor treated all clans the same.

He treated both your mother and you well.

However the demons and devils were traitors in their nature.

After the Asuras of the devil clan gained power,

the Demon King immediately supported them.

And the Demon Princess

gave up her position as a Heavenly Consort to support the demon clan.

When the Demon and Devil Army drew their sword at Heaven,

you knew to hide yourself to not be implicated.

But in the end,

you chose to give up your celestial position for the Mosha Star.

What?

So today you side completely with the demon and devils

to question the Heavenly Realm?

All life within the Three Realms are equal.

We should discuss the matter at hand.

I only want to ask you,

you tricked Luohou Jidu into consuming the poisonous wine

stole his stellar soul,

turned him into the God of War,

to hurt his own clansmen,

and now

you won’t even let him seek justice with you?

I was forced by the situation.

In order for the life in all Three Realms to not be harmed by war,

I took his stellar soul.

At the same time I gave him a chance to do good.

It was me,

who protected his primordial spirit.

When she was the God of War,

I treated her well.

I even tried to compensate her

by giving her glory and an esteemed position!

When she struggled in her tribulation,

I even went to the Mortal Realm

to guide and assist her!

I don’t owe her anything!

A chance to do good?

You were controlling her.

Turn her into a puppet that only listens to you

to protect your position within the Heavenly Realm.

Everything you did

was not to compensate Luohou Jidu

but to ease your conscience.

Prince Xi Xuan your love is sincere and pure.

You sacrifice everything for love,

and even

pity Luohou Jidu because of your love.

But you better wake up

she’s no longer Chu Xuanji!

Xuanji is still there.

She and Luohou Jidu exist together.

If Luohou Jidu can let go of his hatred

Xuanji will come back.

When you were a mortal

you once fell in love with Xuanji too.

As there is a chance to save her

why must you kill her?

Fall in love?

When did I fall in love?

Everything I did

was simply to protect the Three Realms!

Fine.

You keep saying you’re doing it to protect the Three Realms,

then why don’t we make a wager?

I believe

in the end Luohou Jidu will not turn into the person you think he will,

become an evil devil who destroys everything.

That’s such a big joke!

I want to see

where you got that confidence from?

What Luohou Jidu wants

has always been

to vent out the anger in his heart.

He only wants justice.

It was you who thought he would kill everything

so killed to stop the killing

causing his anger to only increase.

If you can resolve the problem between you,

get his forgiveness

then we can solve this calamity.

For the Three Realms,

do you dare to meet Luohou Jidu in Heaven

and resolve your issues alone?

What if my hypothesis comes true?

You want me to allow Luohou Jidu in the Heavenly Realm,

giving him a chance to overthrow the Heavenly Realm?

If that is the case,

then I lose.

I am willing to be a devil with him

and be vanquished together.

But if I win,

I do not ask for anything else.

I only hope

you can publicly apologize to Luohou Jidu

for what you did to him.

And from then on,

let him go.

Whether he is Luohou Jidu

or Xuanji

starting from now on,

you will not appear before him.

Fine.

As you wish to sacrifice yourself

then I will make that wager with you.

But you better keep in mind,

if Luohou Jidu does anything

in the Heavenly Realm

do not forget your vow.

You better not forget either.

If Luohou Jidu did not do anything

the Heavenly Realm cannot hurt him.

Bring him here then.

Hurry!

Hurry!

Everyone keep up! Hurry!

Everyone hurry!

Master.

Hurry and take the people up the mountain!

Help them settle there.

Yes.

Your Uncle Heyang and Aunt Yinghong

has contacted Chief Dongfang and Chief Rong.

They are leading the people

on their way here.

Hurry and help them out.

Yes.

Minxing.

Master.

Hurry and take a look

to see if there is anyone left behind.

If there are,

bring them up.

Yes Master.

Sect Leader Chu,

we ran into some people who were in trouble

so we delivered them here.

Then

thank you.

Does Luohou Jidu intend to destroy the world?

Xuanji has become an evil demon

she’ll never come back?

No.

Xuanji hasn’t disappeared.

She must still be around.

Otherwise,

Luohou Jidu would not have let us into his plan

and given us the flames of the land to set a barrier and escape from danger.

Little Phoenix!

Little Phoenix!

Sifeng.

Have you been well during your time at the Devil’s Capital?

We visited that place

but couldn’t find you.

We were worried.

I’m fine.

But I haven’t been able to bring Xuanji back yet.

How is Xuanji?

Has she appeared?

Can she remember us?

Linglong.

Sifeng came back to discuss have an important matter with us.

Let’s listen to him first.

I’ve thought of a way to awaken Xuanji.

What is it?

Tell us!

Although it may be a little risky, but I need your help.

As long as it’ll bring Xuanji back we can do anything!

I’ve convinced Luohou Jidu and Dijun Bai Lin to meet.

I hope they can resolve their grudge.

If Dijun Bai Lin is willing

to give justice to Luohou Jidu,

then the situation will improve.

But he’s a heavenly emperor!

How could he possibly lower his head?

That’s what I worry about too.

But only by resolving the hatred tormenting Luohou Jidu

can we save me and awaken Xuanji.

And avoid this calamity.

But I worry that Dijun Bai Lin will break his word

then the only one who can control the situation is the Heavenly Emperor.

You want us to find the Heavenly Emperor?

That’s right.

He’s at Mount Kunlun now.

That is the sacred place of the celestials.

I fear it’ll be hard for you to go there.

You should go find Wu Zhiqi and think of a way to convince him to go with you.

Wu Zhiqi?

After Zi Hu died,

Wu Zhiqi has been in low spirits.

He spends his day before Zi Hu’s grave doing nothing.

I fear he...

He’ll agree.

I only worry about the Heavenly Emperor.

He was formed from Heaven’s will,

I fear he will not involve himself

between the grudge between Luohou Jidu and Dijun Bai Lin.

What should we do?

Then tell him…

You’re back?

Did Bai Lin make things hard for you?

You are not cold and merciless.

I was only curious about what that rat Bai Lin will do

to the person I sent to him.

Bai Lin agreed to meet with you.

That rat had the face to agree?

Very well.

It’s been 1000 years.

I want to see how that Bai Lin

will face me.

I’ll carry you across the Life and Death Sea.

But you must promise me

that you are going to resolve your grudge with Bai Lin

you will not massacre the Heavenly Realm.

As long as that villain Bai Lin keeps his promises

I will not kill anyone needlessly.

[Zi Hu’s Grave]

Wu Zhiqi.

Little Fox...

Your old friend is here to see me.

Don’t you like having lots of people around?

Let’s have a proper drink together.

Stop drinking.

Zi Hu wouldn’t like to see you become like this.

What am I like now?

In the past Little Fox

loves it when I spend time with her.

Right now I am with her every day,

she must be happy.

Wu Zhiqi.

Let’s go and see the Heavenly Emperor on Mount Kunlun.

Not going.

Mount Kunlun doesn’t have any wine.

Little Fox is not around,

it’s so boring.

Luohou Jidu and Emperor Bai Lin have already crossed their swords if they fight,

only the Heavenly Emperor can stop them.

We really need you.

Let them fight it out.

What should it be of concern to me?

I don’t want to involve myself in it.

Fine.

You want to drink wine.

I’ll drink with you.

Only this wine…

after we drink this wine,

I don’t know whether we’ll be able to drink again.

Then let’s...

drink ourselves to a stupor while we have wine.

Lao Wu,

you should know

that Dijun Bai Lin is forcing Luohou Jidu’s hand

if he pushes him too far and Luohou Jidu overturns the Hongmeng Furnace

the Heavenly fire will spill over the world

and the Three Realms will disappear.

By then,

I fear we cannot protect Zi Hu’s grave.

I fear despite the effort you put in

to protect your beautiful memories of Zi Hu,

it will all disappear.

Do you want that to happen?

What do you want to do then?

As your friends we won’t force you.

I hope you can consider it carefully.

Tomorrow we will set off for Mount Kunlun,

we’ll wait for you at the foot of Mount Shaoyang.

Even if you don’t come

we will go ourselves.

Let me go and end this.

Let’s go.

Demon Lord.

You must not do this.

Let me bring the captured red-golden birds

and go with you with our great army.

Do you think I’m like that rat Bai Lin

and break my word?

All of you stay here.

If that rat Bai Lin dares to trick us

I will upend the entire Heavenly Realm.

Yu Sifeng.

Let’s go.

Right Minister, what should we do?

Just stay here.

Keep an eye on the Heavenly Realm.

Yes.

It’s already so late.

Never mind.

Let’s go ourselves.

As you came to find me

to go with Mount Kunlun with you,

how could I not prepare some good wine?

It seems,

what Sifeng told us was of use.

The thing I regret the most

is being acquainted with Xuanji and Sifeng those two troublemakers.

I have no choice.

I can’t bear to abandon them.

It’s just a trip to Mount Kunlun to see the Heavenly Emperor.

Let’s go.

Who is there?

Ruo Yu?

Minyan.

Why are you sneaking behind us?

I want to go to the Heavenly Realm please take me with you.

What?

You plan to ambush us again?

I...

I know I have betrayed you many times.

I don’t deserve your forgiveness.

But I promised Little Yinhua

to protect Sifeng.

I will definitely be of help.

I will do everything I can

to atone for what I’ve done.

I’m begging you.

Rise, get up now.

Rascal,

it’s not easy to atone for many things.

Ignore him.

Let’s go.

Ruo Yu.

If you want to help us

then follow us.

We were invited by Dijun Bai Lin

and are here to see him.

We don’t want to hurt innocents.

Dijun Bai Lin has been waiting for you.

This way.

We’re here.

That is Mount Kunlun

the residence of the Heavenly Emperor in the Mortal Realm?

That is not it.

We have to pass through the Kaiming gate

at the peak in order to reach the real Mount Kunlun.

We must not delay.

Let’s climb it then.

Wait.

Don’t be in such a rush.

It’s that not easy to climb Mount Kunlun.

Do you see the Ruoshui River around us?

Normal mortal can’t pass it.

After you pass it you still have to pass by the infernal fire.

If a mortal so much touches it they will be reduced to ash.

After you pass the infernal fire is the wind and rock formation.

Even an animal like an elephant who has thick skin

will be shattered into a bloody mess by it.

Of course

I can pass those barriers

easily by myself.

But none of you are deities,

I fear you cannot pass it.

Then how can we reach the Kaiming gate?

Don’t listen to his nonsense.

Who is going to cross that?

There’s clearly another path.

You know quite a bit.

Well...

back then when I went to steal the Heavenly Eye

I studied latently

each path to the Heavenly Realm.

If we climb the cliff face on the south

we can reach Kaiming gate.

That’s right.

Even if we were to climb the cliff face in the south,

we have to cross this Ruoshui River first.

-We can’t fly across it. -Let’s hurry and swim across.

Wait, wait.

Don’t be in such a rush.

Look.

Even a leaf can’t float on the water,

How can we cross?

What are you doing?

An ordinary thing

can’t float on the Ruoshui River.

Except one thing.

This is the gold feather of the red-golden bird.

Because the feathers of the red-golden bird

were formed by the condensation of the white light.

So it can float on the Ruoshui River.

That’s why,

you will have to

pluck your feathers and let us make a boat out of it.

That way we can cross.

Come on then.

Come.

No, no, no. If you do I’ll lose all my feathers!

Come on don’t run!

-No, no. -Don’t move.

It’ll be quick it won’t hurt.

I’ll do it.

It actually succeeded.

Didn’t expect the feathers of the red-golden birds

can float on the Ruoshui River.

This time,

we owe you a favor.

Why is it so quiet?

There’s no one around here,

the other animals can’t cross the river

of course it’s quiet.

Look.

What’s that?

Not good.

It’s the 10 mages of Kunlun!

Are they powerful?

They are the 10 celestial mages that manage the area around Mount Kunlun.

If I am right,

he should be Wu Lu.

What demon is here?

How dare you enter Mount Kunlun without permission!

Hurry and get to shore.

If we fight on the Ruoshui River they will have the upper hand.

Want to run?

Heavenly troops!

Hurry to the shore!

What is this?

Let me out!

Stinky old man.

You better manage your fish!

No need to worry about the shore.

Lao Wu.

Let me out first!

Let me out!

This scent is…

What’s that scent?

Why can’t I smell it?

Leave them alone.

Let me out first!

What are you staring at?

Can’t you hear me?

Let me out! Let me out!

Brother you’re finally back.

Come, come.

Drink a flask with me. Let’s drink ourselves to a stupor!

One flask is not enough!

Bring me ten! Come!

Only 10 flasks are enough!

Come.

Stinky monkey!

Little Fox?

Stinky monkey!

Why are you drinking so much wine?

Did you forget about our vineyard?

Vineyard?

The first time we met was in a vineyard.

There are so many grapes now.

They are big, sweet and delicious now.

Don’t drink wine.

Let’s pick some grapes.

Ok, ok.

Let’s go.

I’m going out for a bit.

You drink first.

Ruo Yu?

Yanran.

Your favorite snack

are these rice cakes.

I know

that you treated me well in the past.

I was too audacious before.

I was too fierce with you.

In the future,

I won’t do that again.

Ruo Yu.

Want to save your younger sister?

Then you better listen to me.

Ruo Xue…

Don’t hurt my sister!

Ruo Yu!

Save me!

Ruo Yu!

Save me!

You betrayed me

so I will ensure the 2 people you love the most

cannot even be buried when they die!

Oh no.

They’re trapped in their dreams.

Linglong!

Hurry and find a way to wake them up.

Let’s go!

Ruo Yu!

Ruo Yu wake up!

Ruo Yu!

Wu Zhiqi...

What’s wrong?

Wake up Wu Zhiqi!

Don’t go!

Don’t go!

Wu Peng!

Oh no!

It’s you!

It was you who trapped them in a dream right?

You get everything in your dreams.

You can get

whatever you desire.

It’s so good.

Come.

Tell me (Wu Peng)

what you want?

I want…

I want....

Linglong!

That is Wu Peng out of the 10 mages!

We don’t want anything! We don’t want anything!

She’s just tempting you!

Do not be tricked by her!

Do not think you can trick me!

Hurry and wake them up!

Why do I have to wake them up?

Isn’t reality hard?

Don’t you like escaping from reality?

Very well.

If you don’t wake them up,

then I will dig your eyes out.

And remove your head from your neck!

Do not blame me for not showing mercy.

No, no, no!

Don’t dig out my eyes!

I’ll do it.

Hurry up!

Ruo Yu!

Minyan.

Let’s go.

That’s...

That’s impossible.

How can there be a weapon

who can cut my green robe?

How is this possible?

Let me tell you

I haven’t used my thunderbolt finger technique

for a long time.

Thankfully

I have you ten to practice it on.

I will show you how powerful I am!

Linglong are you ok?

I’m fine.

We are the 10 mages from Kunlun.

You demons how dare you mock us like this?

We will inform the Heavenly Emperor!

Let me tell you,

I’ve sat on the Heavenly Emperor’s throne too.

How could I fear the 10 of you!

You better stay in the water.

Lao Wu! Lao Wu!

Hurry! Put me down!

Good.

I’ve never felt so good as a demon before!

Can you be a bit more gentle?

This cliff face is as smooth as a mirror,

how can we climb up that?

Is there another way?

We can only climb up.

Why can’t we use our swords?

It’s a bad habit of the Heavenly Realm.

They love to act so mysteriously.

If we travel by sword, we won’t be able to see the Kaiming gate.

The stone cliff has its own spirit.

The dagger will disappear within 7 minutes after inserting into the cliff.

So be careful.

Wish yourselves luck.

I heard that

around the cliff face

there is a Kaiming beast with 9 heads guarding it.

It’s difficult to deal with.

I think we should be careful.

As we’re already here,

even if it’s a lair of a tiger we have to enter it.

Are you ok?

I’m fine.

I’m an old man,

climbing that cliff almost cost me half my life.

You are so fragile.

Minyan.

I did so much evil before,

I do not deserve for you to risk your life to save me.

I heard about your younger sister from Sifeng.

Although I still can’t forgive you,

but I can’t watch you die.

Minyan.

I’m sorry.

You only risked your life to save Xuanji and Sifeng.

As everyone is doing it for Xuanji and Sifeng

then of course I should accept your apology.

Come.

Let’s take a few bites

to replenish yourselves a bit.

Come.

You even brought this?

9 heads?

Kaiming beast?

So delicious!

Want to eat?

Want to.

Refuse to give it to you.

There’s not much so share it among yourselves.

Delicious.

A bit more.

I guess you haven’t eaten your fill yet.

I have some wine.

Catch.

What are you doing?

Not good.

If you take something from someone they will have leverage on you.

I don’t know why they are here

yet I ate their food.

Eldest Brother you ate the most.

How can you have the face to say that?

2nd Brother you ate the most.

Who are you?

What are you doing at Mount Kunlun?

We just passed by.

We were hungry so we ate a chicken and drank some wine

yet you snatched it from us!

What should we do?

What should we do?

Don’t disturb my cultivation with trivial matters like this.

You go and resolve it.

Don’t disturb us!

I’m going to meditate.

Don’t cry.

I noticed that you drank the least.

We will not ask you to resolve this.

I have some more wine.

Do you want it?

Then you can’t tell my eldest brother.

Don’t worry.

We won’t tell him.

You’re so amazing!

Drank it so quickly.

A bit more!

Here.

I am a celestial beast who can drink 1000 cups.

A few flasks of wine

will not affect me at all!

You seem a little drunk.

Say you’re a guard if you’re drunk,

you’re neglecting your duties!

It’s fine.

I won’t let anyone pass.

I’ll tell you a secret.

The key to open the Kaiming gate

is our tail.

I’ll show you how to open it.

To broaden your horizons.

So that you know

outsiders will never be able to enter Mount Kunlun.

Extraordinary!

Hurry and show us!

That way we can tell those mortals

how illustrious you were!

Look carefully.

That is the Kaiming gate.

As I ate your roasted chicken and wine,

I will show you something more

to repay you.

Remember to tell those mortals

how great the Kaiming beast is!

Of course!

What do you think?

Am I not amazing?

Amazing, amazing.

Kaiming beast?

This is my wine deity flask.

It can produce the strongest wine.

Just one flask will put you sleep for 3 days and nights.

That fool

each head drank a flask.

They will sleep for at least 27 days!

Turns out you knew the Kaiming beast was stupid

so you already thought of a solution?

Otherwise

why would Sifeng tell you to find me?

But I feel like a bad person tricking

such a naive and simple celestial beast.

Enough.

Now that the Kaiming gate is open, let’s go.

If someone comes

it will not be pretty.

Right, right.

Let’s go.

What happened?

It’s the phoenix.

The phoenix is the king of all birds.

They restrain the red-golden birds the most.

Its cries are piercing my organs.

Hurry and go.

As you Asuras have already surrendered to us

and are willing to serve the Heavenly Realm

then from now on stay in the Devil’s Capital.

Do your duty.

Do not rebel again.

Go now.

The Asuras are vengeful and bloodthirsty,

they will only upend the peace in the Three Realms.

We must not let them back unscathed.

Do not leave a single one alive!

Kill them!

Yes.

You rascal from Heaven!

How can you break your word?

You Asuras are all vengeful and bloodthirsty.

Today

I will make sure you die by my sword

like that Luohou Jidu.

You!

You’re the God of War?

You killed the Mosha Star Luohou Jidu?

That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard.

I curse you with all the Asuras who have died today

that in every life

whether it is your family or your lover,

none of them will meet a good end!

When the blood of those devils splattered on me,

it was clearly hot.

I hate that feeling.

Before they died,

all of them looked at me with resentment.

You must be too weary,

I will prescribe you with some medicine

to calm your mind in a bit.

Lord Physician,

you’ve been treating me for such long time,

have you ever discovered

if I’ve lost any memories?

General what do you mean?

That day when I killed the King of the Asuras

he stared at me

and said I was a traitor.

I get the feeling I’ve seen him somewhere before.

But I can’t remember.

Also today,

a new deity asked me what my name was,

but after thinking for a long time

I realized that you only call me God of War or General

but I can’t remember my name.

Lord Physician,

do you know my name?

I only hold a minor position.

I know very little about the high celestials.

Was I born without a name?

Born?

Where did I come from?

Wu Zhiqi…

Hurry and give yourself up!

Return Juntian Cehai back to the Heavenly Realm!

Does Juntian Cehai belong to Heaven?

You killed the Mosha Star and stole his Juntian Cehai!

I am merely taking back his things!

God of War.

The King of the Asuras told me to tell you this.

God of War.

I was killed by you!

That’s why I kept my dying breath

to give you a gift.

Look carefully,

what kind of secret Dijun Bai Lin is hiding in his chamber.

You deserve...all of this!

I...

Who am I?

Where is my stellar soul?

Hall of Fates...

The words on the jade tablet will naturally appear to record the truth.

Yet Dijun Bai Lin asked me to use the divine brush

to tell us to change the God of War’s record.

It goes against the rules.

If the God of War finds out

that she was an Asura

and killed her own clansmen

what would happen?

Of course we have to hide it from her.

Stop talking.

Dijun ordered us minor scribes to do this

so that he can conceal the truth from the rest of the celestials.

If this secret gets out

and others find out

then he will separate our souls with the Heavenly thunder!

Hurry and finish changing it

and give it to Dijun Bai Lin.

Dijun Bai Lin brought Luohou Jidu back.

He carved his stellar soul and sealed it within the crystal lamp of the Nantian Immortal Clan.

When the Heavenly Emperor realized Dijun Bai Lin and the Nantian Immortal Clan had done this

it was too late.

Dijun Bai Lin has already transformed Luohou Jidu.

Hence the God of War was born from Luohou Jidu.

Is what’s written here...

is the truth?

Bai Lin!
