Mother. Mother.

Mother.

The obsidian bracelet Father gave me

suddenly cracked.

I didn’t break it.

What did you call him?

Father?

Mother, if you’re still mad at him,

I’ll stop calling him.

Show me the bracelet.

It’s my duty as the Chief God.

I must protect the whole world.

It’s what you taught me.

I forced you to be the Chief God.

I pushed you

in such a doomed condition.

The responsibility is too heavy.

I don’t have a choice.

Bai Jue, the Three Realms...

I’ll leave them to you.

♪The waves follow the mountains♪

When you’re in danger,

put your power into the bracelet.

It’ll improve your power instantly

for a short time,

but enough for you to get out of danger.

I lived in the North Sea in the past thousand years.

I don’t remember meeting you before.

I don’t know why, but when I met you,

I felt I knew you before.

♪Outside the world♪

(Wedding) My love,

from now on,

we share weal and woe together

for all eternity.

♪But where are you♪

♪Only a shadow is left♪

I’m not Qingmu.

Liar!

I’m officially cutting all ties

with Houchi right here and now, witnessed by all the immortals present.

We won’t see each other ever again.

Now,

I’m giving your power

and supremacy

back altogether.

I only hope

you’ll take good care of my daughter

and her baby once you wake up.

That’s a boy.

I...

I think I’m extricated.

♪Who♪

I will

♪In the ancient time♪

see Qingmu again.

Houchi.

♪Snow♪

Mother.

Mother.

Mother!

♪And it gleams♪

What did your father say

when he gave you the bracelet?

♪High up in the sky♪

He said he would go travel around.

♪I risked my life for the world♪

Where was he going?

He didn’t tell me.

He just said when he came back,

he would bring some magic weapons to me.

What else?

He also mentioned

Jingjian and Fengran.

He said

it was a happy thing

if someone could die

for who he loved and the whole world.

I listened,

but I didn’t really understand.

♪How many years have I wandered♪

♪If you were there♪

Yuanqi,

face the Abyssal Ridge Swamp

and kowtow to your father.

♪Never stop being crazy♪

♪Love with our lives♪

My greatest regret is that

I didn’t accompany Yuanqi

when he grew up.

I hope when he becomes sensible,

he’ll understand what kind of man I am.

♪If you were there♪

And understand every choice

I made after I woke up.

♪I’ll break through the way to you♪

So,

you knew everything, right?

Shanggu,

you died in the Tribulation of Chaos sixty thousand years ago.

He spent tens of thousands of years

collecting your souls

and brought you up

as Bo Xuan.

Then he disappeared in the North Sea.

North Sea? Qingmu?

He split his Original Being,

for the Power of Chaos?

He wanted me to be heartbroken,

simply because he knew

the Tribulation of Chaos would come again

and he would take it for me?

Shanggu,

Bai Jue never stopped loving you.

He just didn’t want you to be sad.

So, he kept it from you.

He was suffering a lot.

Shanggu,

go see Bai Jue off.

Uncle Tianqi, where has Father gone?

Is he...

Dead?

Who told you?

He did.

According to him,

death isn’t horrible.

Watching someone I know die

isn’t horrible, too.

Death is destined,

just like the blooming and fading of flowers.

No one can change his fate.

♪Ten thousand years of ups and downs are just in a moment♪

♪Meeting never lets us done♪

♪On the top of the mountain♪

♪In the forests♪

♪Love has been hidden for a lifetime♪

I haven’t hated you for a lifetime yet.

I haven’t heard

you say

you love me.

I haven’t repaid you

for how you helped me for lives.

♪Life and death♪

♪He protects the Three Realms for her♪

♪Perseverance♪

♪It’s still echoing in ears♪

♪Repeat it again♪

Shanggu,

like you said,

life is too long

and I didn’t cherish.

The responsibility is too heavy

and we don’t have a choice.

In this life,

you can hate me

or complain about me,

as long as you can live

and be safe

as long as the Three Realms,

the heaven,

and everything else.

How can you

♪If we can always stay with each other♪

leave me like this?

♪We’ll grow old and never leave each other♪

This is the only thing

I can do for you.

♪Breeze and bright moon♪

♪Snow and smoke are in the dusk♪

You were lonely in Qingchi Palace for ten thousand years.

You were frozen at the bottom of the North Sea for a thousand years.

On the Green Dragon Platform,

you were burned and crushed.

Why did you do it all?

Why did you have the heart

to leave me alone in this world?

♪She turned into ashes♪

♪Life and death♪

♪He protects the Three Realms for her♪

♪Perseverance♪

♪It’s still echoing in ears♪

♪Repeat it again♪

♪This love is boundless and will never extinguish♪

(Three years later)

(Report)

Tianqi,

what are you reading?

Drink less wine.

You’re very unstable.

Don’t get hurt.

I’m a retired old man

and I don’t need cultivation.

It doesn’t matter if I get hurt.

Did you come

because I did something wrong

with my duties?

Not that.

Since I woke up,

I’ve been feeling the happiest

when you’re taking over the affairs.

Then what’s for?

For Yuanqi.

He’s naughty,

just like Shanggu.

But as the old saying goes,

a naughty boy is good

and a naughty girl is smart.

He isn’t commonly naughty.

He uses his peach wood sword every day,

running about.

He practices the Power of Chaos

and he’s smart.

He learns spells so quickly.

I’m too old

to beat him

or scold him.

I want to teach him, but I really can’t.

Who do you think

can be his master?

I’ve been asleep in the God Realm for sixty thousand years.

I don’t know much about the present Three Realms.

There’s a bright young immortal,

named Donghua.

Donghua?

Jiaye said he was a very strict teacher,

just like Bai Jue.

Is that true?

He’s far worse.

He’s a strict teacher,

but he isn’t even a God yet.

He can’t be compared to Ice Cube.

If he were still here,

that would be great.

It’s been a long time.

Take Yuanqi to see her.

All right.

Since your father left,

the God of Fire has been absent.

The whirling snow

has never stopped.

Uncle Zhiyang,

when will we have

the new God of Fire?

Maybe in a short time.

Maybe in a long time.

In this world,

on the Heaven and Earth Platform,

there will be a new God of Fire.

Shanggu.

Mother.

What brings you here?

Time to let Yuanqi learn to manage the Three Realms.

Mother.

Good boy.

Yuanqi misses you, too.

It’s better for him to live with you

than live with me here.

Shanggu,

you’ve been staying here for three years.

When the Original Being is gone,

he can hardly come back to life.

I know you’re sad.

But it took him sixty thousand years

to keep you alive.

But you’re stuck in sadness every day.

All right, Zhiyang.

I just want to be idle

and haven’t worked for three years.

Anyway, take over the job for me.

You look more like the Chief God.

I’ll leave the Three Realms to you.

Fengran is entertaining everyone in the Parasol Forest.

If you feel bored, you can go see her.

Bai Jue doesn’t want to see you like this.

Otherwise, in the past sixty thousand years,

he needn’t have kept so much from you.

Gods live quite a long time.

Time to let it go.

Yuanqi, let’s go.

Uncle Zhiyang,

will mother never come back to the God Realm?

Give her more time.

After she figures it out,

she’ll be back to you.

Uncle Zhiyang,

will my father come back?

No matter when he can come back,

you must remember him

and then he won’t disappear.

Your father has an indomitable spirit.

He wants you to be like him.

The responsibility for the world

will be passed onto you sooner or later.

You have pure god power,

but you don’t have a solid foundation.

You must keep practicing.

Understand?

I do.

In a few years

when Donghua becomes a God,

I’ll send you to him

and be one of his registered disciples.

After you learn some skills,

come back to your mother again.

Yuanqi,

will you bear the hardships?

I will.

Let’s go.

The Three Realms are in peace.

In this world,

I can trust no one,

but you.

So,

if you can stay,

I won’t embarrass you again by proposing to you.

I will...

We grew up in Xuanjing Palace.

The world is very big.

I haven’t visited other places yet.

According to Goddess Shanggu,

immortals and Gods

should make contributions to the Three Realms.

So, I want to visit the Human Realm.

I’d like to travel around

and see what contributions I can make.

Then...

After you leave,

will you come back?

Maybe yes.

Maybe no.

When we miss something,

we miss it forever.

However,

it’s also perfection for us.

Perhaps,

I should let it go.

Future is unpredictable.

Take care, Your Majesty.

Who are you?

How dare you break into the Pilgrimage Hall?

Where’s Muguang?

Why isn’t he coming today?

Flowers in Taoyuan Forest are blooming.

If he still doesn’t come,

the flowers

will fade.

Mother,

Father is here.

He’s always with us.

The new Heavenly Queen keeps staying in the Parasol Forest,

instead of handling things in the Heavenly Palace.

We can’t report to her

unless we submit the invitation card.

It’s of much trouble.

Be contented.

Now the Three Realms are in peace

without wars between immortals and demons.

Isn’t it much better

than the fights a few years ago?

I simply want

to cultivate myself in my place

and become a God as soon as possible

so that I can visit the God Realm

before I die.

Greetings, Goddess Shanggu.

You may rise.

How did we

offend Qingtian?

There’re so many gods.

Why did we pick those two men

and have such miserable love?

Good point.

In a couple of days,

shall I ask Puhua to hold a Dating Event

and play matchmaker for us again?

You sound real.

What? Do you dare?

I don’t. Do you?

I certainly do.

I can’t waste all my time

on a heartless phoenix.

They’re both heartless men.

Jingjian is a bit better than Bai Jue.

At least, he doesn’t want to leave you alone.

But he still disappeared.

Shanggu, you mean?

I’ve lived quite a long life.

I’ve never seen anyone

who had a chance to live after using the dismemberment.

But for you,

Jingjian made it.

Shanggu,

don’t fool me.

I just met a young man from the Feng Clan.

In his body,

I saw Jingjian’s sense.

Which one? Tell me.

I can’t tell the secret.

Shanggu!

Now that Jingjian managed to raise his sense

in someone else’s body,

he’ll have his way to rebuild a body.

You’re impatient.

I’m afraid you’ll interfere with his plan.

You’d better wait patiently.

Shanggu, tell me!

Which is him?

He will tell you in person.

(Moon Hall)

Oh my God!

Goddess Yuemi has hidden so many jars of good wine

in her yard.

“It’s made of peach blossoms during our first meeting.”

(It’s made of peach blossoms during our first meeting.)

I’ve hidden a lot of wine in my yard.

If you have time to go back to the God Realm,

drink it for me.

“It’s made of ice and snow during our cultivation.”

Master Tianqi,

what does the words

that Goddess Yuemi wrote mean?

Master Tianqi?

Hongri,

get the wine out

and deliver it to Zhiyang.

You don’t leave any to yourself?

I’ll give up drinking.

Give up drinking?

I owe too much to Yuemi

and I can never repay her.

I’d rather abandon all my feelings

from this day on,

and never love anyone.

If Jingjian can come back to life,

maybe Master Bai Jue will also...

I don’t think so.

He’s the True God,

generated from the world on the Heaven and Earth Platform.

Now he’s gone.

It’s the karma.

There’s no turning back.

If you really think so,

why have you been staying in the Abyssal Ridge Swamp

and waiting for a result that will not happen?

Your Grace.

It’s you, Hongri?

What brings you here?

Three years ago,

Master gave this to me

and expelled me to the North Sea.

He asked me to raise the body

inside the tower

before I gave him to you.

Gu Jun?

Your Grace,

Master wouldn’t let the man who was closest to you

to leave you. He...

Enough!

What else did he do

that I didn’t know?

Tell me once for all.

When you tell me little by little,

I would rather be put

in the Tribulation of Chaos.

He rebuilt a body for me,

took the Tribulation alone

and decided my fate.

I tolerated it.

He saved Gu Jun without telling me.

It’s alright.

He made the mistake

and he should make up for it.

Today, tell me

what else he did

and kept from me.

Nothing...

Nothing else.

Yeah.

Nothing else.

He’s dead,

and he’s done everything.

In tens of thousands of years

when I’m also getting old

and forgetting everything,

Bai Jue will have nothing left.

Come on, Hongri.

You served him for over a hundred thousand years.

I’m now crying,

but you don’t even shed a single tear?

Your Grace,

it’s not surprised to see you cry.

Sixty thousand years ago,

you sacrificed yourself in the Tribulation.

Master Bai Jue cried like this, too.

At that time,

I thought the sky would fall.

But later,

when I woke up,

you still lived a good life

in front of me

with Master’s doppelganger around.

Then I think

since you came back to life

after you had completely disappeared

as the Chief God,

one day,

Master Bai Jue

will also...

♪Years have passed♪

♪And I keep staying♪

♪I experience endless sadness but never leave♪

♪Staying away♪

♪And loving you greatly♪

♪I’d wait through the lifetime♪

Bai Jue,

if you don’t believe in fate,

I will

bet with you.

What do you say?

♪I spend years waiting for returned birds♪

♪I never regret and let no one replace you♪

♪Hope we’ll figure out the past♪

♪For a thousand years♪

Ancestral God,

please accept my respect.

Sixty thousand years ago,

I followed your instruction

and sacrificed myself

for the whole world.

Bai Jue loved me

and sacrificed him secretly,

so that I survived.

Before the new God of Fire emerges,

I’ll be kneeling on the Heaven and Earth Platform.

Please show some mercy

and give Bai Jue back to me.

I’m willing to

exchange my life for his.

When mortals are in trouble,

they worship Gods.

We’re True Gods.

Your kneeling

won’t help.

I’m simply someone stuck in love.

I’m not different from mortals.

If the God of Fire isn’t Bai Jue,

what will you do?

Shanggu,

cheer up.

The God Realm needs you.

I’ve made up my mind.

Let me kneel.

(500 years later)

Mother,

I’m going to the Daze Mansion for learning skills.

Don’t you walk me out?

Respect your master and learn carefully.

Focus on cultivation.

You’ve been kneeling for 500 years.

If the Ancestral God agreed,

there would have been anomalies on the Heaven and Earth Platform.

I believe that

your father will not leave us alone.

Go ahead.

Don’t be as playful as you were.

The Ancestral God means

you shouldn’t keep kneeling.

I’ve begged him for 500 years.

I don’t care if I have to kneel for another 500 years.

Your legs are hurt.

Get up and take a rest.

Anyway, the new God of Fire

will not come into being so soon.

Shanggu,

you should know that

it’s hard for Bai Jue to come back.

Even if he’s back,

he may hardly have old memories.

It doesn’t matter.

It’s alright when I have memories.

Zhiyang,

the new God of Fire is coming into being soon.

Do you think it’ll be him?

Very little chance.

Maybe we just have the little chance.

Among us,

the Ancestral God cares for Shanggu most.

Maybe,

when he gets softhearted, he’ll...

Look.

♪It’s been a short while♪

You’re Qingmu?

You’re Bo Xuan?

Shanggu,

I’m Bai Jue.
