Ancient Love Poetry

Episode 42

High God.

You are finally back.

Since the Purple Moon disappeared,

the demon realm has got in chaos.

The Demon King was incurably hurt.

It...

What happened to the Young Goddess?

Is High God Shanggu going to awaken?

Go get Fengran.

Let her come right now.

Yes.

Houchi.

Houchi.

Your child is gifted with God vein.

Your energy will be drained.

If he survives,

you’ll lose your Spiritual Strength.

I can feel he’s about to be born.

Promise me.

If I die,

you’ll keep this child for me.

No! I can’t, Houchi!

Please.

You must keep this child for me.

He...

He’s innocent.

Okay.

I promise.

No matter what happens,

I’ll protect him well.

Houchi.

You’re the closest person to me.

No matter what,

I won’t let anything happen to you and your baby.

Shanggu.

High God.

High God, what can I do for you?

Please tell me.

Shanggu.

Shanggu.

Shanggu.

Leave.

Yes.

Sen Yu.

Is Demon God crazy?

Purple Moon is withdrawn.

How will our demons fight against immortals?

The demon lords of Third Heaven

mostly rely on Purple Moon for cultivation.

Let’s go back to see His Majesty.

Okay.

Soldiers, guard the camp!

Let’s go.

The two sides are holding peace talks.

Jingyang.

What do you mean by this?

Demon God attacked the Dome

and hurt True God Bai Jue.

I’m ordered to kill all of you.

Soldiers, listen to my order.

Eradicate the demon soldiers.

End it once and for all!

Yes!

A’Qin.

Sen Yu!

A’Qin.

Go!

Go back and tell Father

it’s High God Tianqi

who got us into this.

Go!

No!

Why?

Why didn’t you leave?

Without Purple Moon,

you can’t defeat him even exploding your demon core.

The demon clan is behind me.

I must fight.

Okay.

We won’t leave.

Let’s fight them to the end.

Stop!

Eldest Brother.

I stroke the drum.

The demons didn’t invade the Demon Region.

Sorry.

I did it to save someone.

Jingjian!

Are you out of your mind?

Are you helping the demons?

Eldest Brother.

Withdraw your troops.

Don’t push me.

Demon God attacked the Dome today.

There’s no turning back for the two sides.

Eradicate the demons,

and the threat to our immortals.

Eldest Brother.

Don’t make another mistake.

Demons are also living creatures.

Why should they be eradicated?

Go away!

It’s Heavenly Mother’s order.

But the peace talk is Heavenly Father’s order.

You...!

You’re as soft-hearted

as Heavenly Father.

Calm down, Your Majesty.

If it weren’t for Muguang,

I should’ve caught both of them.

There are soldiers guarding outside.

If they find it...

Why do you fear while I fear nothing?

You said we must act with caution.

What... What’s wrong with me?

I can’t even control my demon power.

We’ve been a couple for 60,000 years.

I don’t wanna anger Muguang.

But I can’t bear with his temper.

He’s soft and indecisive,

claiming to be kindhearted.

With him,

how should I deal with the True Gods?

What if Tianqi takes advantage of it

and Bai Jue knows

Yuemi was harmed

because of me?

I meant to kill Tianqi and Houchi

on the wedding.

Unexpectedly,

Shanggu was revived.

What a miscalculation.

That said,

Tianqi’s strength hasn’t yet recovered.

Nor Houchi has awakened to be Shanggu.

The time has come.

I can’t miss such a good chance.

Fengnyu.

Your Majesty.

But...

Just do as you were told.

I will bear the consequence.

If Heavenly Emperor blames...

As a matter of fact,

Yuemi’s death was just an accident.

Given a couple of 60,000 years,

Muguang won’t severely punish me.

Even if he knows I’m descended to a demon,

I have a way to deal with it.

Yes.

Are you alright?

I’m fine.

High God Jingyuan has taken Goddess Houchi

back to Xuanjing Palace.

High God ordered me to take you to her.

What is it?

High God withdrew the power of Purple Moon.

These people must mean no good.

You go inside first.

I’ll guard here.

[Purple Moon Spring]

Your hair!

What on earth happened in the Dome?

Gu Jun is dead.

Was it Wu Huan’s doing?

I’m going to kill her.

Fengran.

Come back.

Houchi just awakened to Shanggu.

But she’s too weak

to bear the power of Original Being of Chaos.

And she just gave birth.

Now she needs your care.

Whose baby is it?

It’s Qingmu’s.

Be careful.

Your Highness.

You came back in time.

His Majesty...

He passed away.

Father.

I’m back.

Look at me!

Please talk to me!

Father.

You said you’d punish me

for my mistake.

Now I’m back.

Please punish me! Please scold me!

Father!

Come back to me!

With that Demon God, how could the demons not win?

His Majesty’s lifelong cultivation

was inseparable from the Purple Moon.

Demon God withdrew it.

So His Majesty’s power was all taken.

I should’ve repelled him.

Sen Yu.

Calm down.

Whatever he has done,

he’s the foundation of the demons.

If we fight each other at this time of crisis,

the immortals will attack us off-guard.

Sister Chang Qin, you’re so cruel.

His Majesty sees you as his daughter.

Now he’s dead.

You even ignored the blood feud.

A disaster is imminent.

Are you still inciting him?

If you really mean it,

why don’t you try to help His Highness?

My father

ended up like this.

I can’t bear this.

Where are the elders of Xuanjing Palace?

Irritated by Demon King’s death,

they’ve gone to the Purple Moon Spring.

Sen Yu.

Are you going to kill Demon God?

As his son,

I must avenge my father.

As the young chief of the demons,

I must protect the demon clan.

If Demon God is dead,

no one else can protect the demon clan!

Sen Yu!

Sen Yu!

[Purple Moon Spring]

Everyone.

What do you mean by this?

Purple Moon Spring is where the High God lives.

No trespassing.

If Demon God is guiltless,

why doesn’t he show himself?

He withdrew the Purple Moon

and ruined all our cultivation.

Shouldn’t he give us an explanation?

If not the Purple Moon,

you wouldn’t have had your cultivation.

High God took back what belongs to him.

What should he explain?

Leave now.

Or I’ll show no mercy.

Does it belong to him?

Zihan.

The demons did benefit from Jingyuan.

For 60,000 years,

we’ve been against all beings for him.

The whole clan protects him alone.

As the Demon God,

shouldn’t he protect the demon clan?

But what did he do?

For his personal affair,

he withdrew the Purple Moon

and got the demon clan into this.

We follow his lead.

What about him?

What are we in his eyes?

A bunch of animals he keeps?

I’m warning you.

Get out of the way.

Second Prince.

Watch your tongue.

Watch my tongue?

My father has died in the palace.

That’s what he gains for his loyalty of 60,000 years.

You tell me watch my tongue?

As his son,

I shall avenge him

or never be an immortal!

Demon King died?

Even if he lost power,

he could just be a mortal.

How could he die?

If Demon God can’t bring my father back to life,

he’ll pay with his blood!

Sen Yu!

About Demon King,

I know you’re angry.

But don’t jump to conclusion.

Everyone.

Since High God is back,

he’ll try to recover your power.

For Demon King’s sake,

I won’t argue with you.

Leave now

and I’ll pretend nothing happened.

Second Prince, don’t believe him.

Demon God won’t care about our lives.

Purple Moon is in Demon God’s body.

Kill him

and take back the Purple Moon.

Shut up!

Xiaoli!

Xiaoli! Xiaoli!

Demons, take my order!

Kill Demon God for the Purple Moon!

Houchi.

Houchi.

Look.

It’s a boy.

He’s so cute

and so small.

He takes after Qingmu.

Houchi.

Give him a name.

His father has gone.

I’m dying soon.

I’ll name him

“Qi (abandonment)”.

Qi?

Qi.

Little one.

Your name is like your uncle’s name Tianqi.

You’ll have the name Yuanqi.

Good name.

He’ll achieve something big.

Yuanqi.

I have nothing to give you.

In Qingchi Palace, there are some toys

your grandfather bought for me.

They’re all for boys.

You will like them.

Now they are yours.

Your grandfather had a good eye.

You’ll certainly like them.

Houchi.

In the future,

if he asks about his parents,

please tell him

his father is North Sea Lord Qingmu,

a true hero

who curbed the violent and assisted the weak,

upholding justice and love.

His mother Houchi

had a happy life,

was accompanied by good friends

and spoiled by her father and husband.

She led a carefree life.

Houchi, stop talking.

Take a rest

and you will be fine.

Yeah.

When he grows up,

tell him yourself.

Houchi.

You don’t have to comfort me.

True God Shanggu sacrificed herself

for the Three Realms.

Now

let me pay for her kindness instead.

If Chief God Shanggu wakes up and remembers me,

the couple

of Qingmu and Houchi,

as well as their love,

♪ Rain floods and memories last ♪

please tell her this.

As the body for her to awaken,

I have resentment,

♪ Years have passed and I keep staying ♪

but I’m greatly honored.

♪ Waiting for returned birds ♪

I achieve little all my life.

In the end, I can make this great contribution.

♪ Staying away and loving you greatly ♪

I don’t fail the title of Goddess

my father struggled for me.

♪ I’d wait through the lifetime ♪

Don’t feel sorry for me.

Actually,

it’s a relief for me.

Since Qingmu’s death,

I’ve wanted to go to him.

What do you think

the world would be

when the Spiritual Strength disappears?

I will

reunite with Qingmu, right?

I can certainly meet him again.

♪ When we wake up ♪

Houchi.

Houchi.

♪ I’ll finally confess to you ♪

Don’t forget it, everyone,

I’m a God.

You are not my match.

I won’t hurt you

for we are all demons.

You are a God.

How could you bear to see us suffer?

Your Highness.

God Zihan is blindly loyal.

He has no sympathy for us.

You fox!

Are you stirring up troubles?

Do you want me to beat you

to your true form?

Demon King’s death is fishy.

After this is ended,

I’ll look into you.

Calm down, everyone.

Don’t panic.

Before withdrawing the Purple Moon, High God said

he’d give back your cultivation

that he had taken,

though it would take some time.

Some time?

How long will it be?

Yes. How long?

- How long? - Make it clear!

A hundred years.

Just a hundred years.

I swear with the Power of the Original Being.

Only a hundred years.

Is it true?

If your power isn’t recovered

in a hundred years,

you can come and confront me.

I will surrender myself

and never resist.

What about my father?

He owned the cultivation of thousands of years.

Dream on!

Today you’ll all die!

Why bother a hundred years?

You again!

Are you done?

A low Lord

dares to be so rude in my realm!

Do you think no one can stop you?

Deicide Flower!

How did you get the demon’s item?

It’s toxic.

Protect yourself.

Fengran.

Take Houchi and Yuanqi

back to Qingchi Palace right now.

Activate the protection barrier left by Gu Jun.

No matter what happens outside,

do not open the barrier.

Keep it in mind.

Why back to Qingchi Palace?

Isn’t this the safest place?

Not any more,

I guess.

When she wakes up,

she’ll be no longer Houchi

but Shanggu.

Will you look after her and protect her

as you did to Houchi?

Shanggu or Houchi,

she’s the same.

High God.

High God, where are you going?

Jingyang.

You rat

take advantage of this!

How shameless!

Don’t irritate him!

Xiaoli!

Are you alright?

Second Prince.

I won’t let you die.

Ignorant!

I’m gonna kill you all!

I have a way.

Don’t!

Xiaoli! Xiaoli!

High God, be careful!

Other than me, no one else

shall fail the demon clan!

Demon God.

When you attacked the Dome,

you should’ve thought of this.

As the Demon God,

your power is so weak.

My Heavenly Mother even gave me this.

Demon God is just average.

Bai Jue!

Aren’t you in a coma?

Eldest Brother.

Don’t be rude

to High God.

You dare to use the demon’s item.

Tie yourself up and go to Xuantian Hall.

Wait for your punishment from your Heavenly Father.

Where is Houchi?

I’ll protect her.

None of your business.

You’d better protect her all your life.

She hurt True God.

She can’t pay the price even if she dies.

Zihan.

Zihan.

I...

High God.

I’m deeply poisoned.

I won’t live long.

Don’t talk nonsense.

I have the divine power.

I can definitely save you!

Yes.

High God is powerful.

But High God,

Purple Moon is gone.

Sen Jian is dead.

I’m also dying.

Who will protect you in the future?

High God.

I privately made a decision for you,

to restore the demon clan in a hundred years.

Please be sure to do it.

I... I don’t wanna be cursed by them.

I don’t want you to live in stigma.

Yes.

I promise.

I will never forget

your words.

I used to listen to you.

You can finally listen to me once.

High God.

In this world,

I envy you so much.

You live freely,

doing whatever you want to do.

It was Yuemi first. Now it’s you.

Zihan.

I promise.

From now on,

I will never be willful.

I promise.

Lady Fengran.

Where are you taking Houchi?

Fengnyu.

The time has changed.

Houchi has awakened as the Chief God Shanggu.

If you hurt her,

you’ll be guilty of murdering the God.

It’s unforgivable.

So what?

The God Realm is long gone.

The immortals will soon eliminate the demons.

Bai Jue and my master are paramount.

Without Bai Jue’s order,

she’s nothing but a commoner.

Soldiers.

Get them.

Get lost!

What are you doing here?

Don’t get me wrong.

High God Bai Jue

asked me to save you.

Did Bai Jue send you here?

What does he mean?

He harmed us. Now is he helping us?

I don’t know the grudge between you.

Just be aware that

I’ll only serve High God Bai Jue

in the future.

You wicked manner

makes me sick.

I didn’t mean it

to offend Qingchi Palace before.

It was stirred up by that witch Wu Huan.

Please pardon me.

Don’t lower yourself to my level.

Ungrateful

and vicious.

You are so mean,

having no principle at all.

I work for the most powerful person.

That’s exactly my principle.

No need.

I can do it.

High God.

Muguang.

From today on,

the demons will join the Dome.

I order you to recover

the demons’ strength in a century.

Any problem?

The demons are also living creatures.

It’s up to you, High God.

I wonder what Jingyang has done

that you let him kneel here.

He released the Deicide Flower

and slaughtered the demons.

Shouldn’t I punish him?

You bastard!

How did you get the Deicide Flower?

I have the doubt, too.

Heavenly Empress asked me to give you this.

Your Highness.

She said it’s the Deicide Flower.

Its poison can kill God.

Isn’t Heavenly Mother too careful?

We have High God Bai Jue.

Why bother doing this?

I don’t know.

She just let me tell you.

Do not open it

unless it’s necessary.

Heavenly Father.

It’s not me.

It... It’s Heavenly Mother...

High God.

My son is unruly.

He must’ve played with the Deicide Flower

and made the mistake

when Wu Huan was out of the Nether World.

I...

I didn’t teach him well.

Please spare his life.

Please spare his life, High God!

Really?

Jingyang is just a Lord.

How could he control the Deicide Flower?

High God.

For the sake that

he’s been guarding the border for years,

please spare his life.

I’ll be lenient, but he must be punished.

Yes. Yes.

Punish him with 20 thunder strikes

and 100-year detention.

You bastard!

Thank High God for sparing your life!

High God, thanks for sparing my life.

Only a truce of two sides

can bring peace to the world.

If anyone dares to attempt it again,

he shall not be spared.

Yes, High God.

How long will she sleep like this?

I don’t know.

Maybe one month.

Or a century.

It all

depends on herself.

Chang Que.

Is there any medicine to wake her up?

60,000 years is just a blink of an eye.

We could wait for a longer time.

Demon God.

What did Bai Jue mean by that?

He was so ruthless to Houchi

in the Dome.

Why did he save her today?

For Shanggu, maybe.

Today,

thank you

for covering me for my power loss.

I should thank you for sparing my brother.

You should hate me.

I dare not.

I’d like to ask you a question.

Go ahead.

You don’t like me,

yet you agreed to marry me.

Is it to let Houchi give up

or for High God Shanggu?

You know I don’t like you.

Why do you stay here?

In terms of love,

I’ve given up hope for it.

Now I only

care about honor.

It’s best for me to stay in the Dome.

At least, in the eyes of others,

I’m still the closest person to you.

You’re now

frank and sincere, not pretentious.

At the wedding,

I’ve lost face.

Please have mercy on me.

Don’t expel me out of the Dome.

I hate

to be an ingrate.

As long as you behave,

you’ll have the honor as you wish.
