~ Episode 48 ~

Offer the Emperor to Heaven!

- Offer the Emperor to Heaven! - I am A Ji Ya.

I am the Emperor's little sister.

Right now, my older brother has the Snow Spots Disease as all of you.

He doesn't have the strength to offer himself to Heaven.

If you all insist to offer someone to Heaven, then let me do it instead.

Huh? She will do it instead?

Where is your High Priest Lord Qiu?

He is not here.

At this moment, may everyone listen to me.

Although the Snow Spots Disease currently has no cure,

it doesn't mean there isn't any retreat path, either.

Why won't everyone just take good care of yourselves and wait for good news?

The Heaven Strategy Envoys will be starting an expedition to help everyone find the cure.

You're not hopeless.

No matter what you say,

offering the Emperor to Heaven is the best prophecy that High Priest has come up with.

Unless the royal family isn't willing to make the sacrifice and is just treating the lives of the citizens as some child play.

Okay. You really insist that the royal family must bleed, is that it?

Then I'll use my fresh blood in exchange for the pacification of your worries.

Men! Carry her to the offering stage.

Stop!

Put her down!

Who are you?

You all better listen to me.

The High Priest is employing witchcraft and was deliberately trying to confuse all of you.

This matter has nothing to do with A Ji Ya.

This Snow Spots disease was initiated by Luan Jia.

If you want to find someone to cure it, look for Luan Jia.

Only she can remove the curse of the disease.

- You are spreading lies! - You...

Fellow citizens, listen well!

Immediately leave the palace.

If you don't listen and incite a riot,

I'll kill that person right away!

Respectfully greeting Your Majesty.

- Rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Never thought that I still must rely on the Heaven Strategy Envoys for the survival plan.

I am really so ashamed.

In the past, I also did a lot of things that caused you all sadness.

But now, I am fully requesting you all

to immediately find Luan Jia.

Give everyone a peaceful and prosperous world back.

Your Majesty, don't worry.

In our journey this time, we surely won't disappoint you.

No matter what, we will create a path for everyone.

Your Majesty, count me in.

Okay.

Your Majesty...

Lord, where are we going now?

Nonsense. Of course, to look for the devil.

Devil?

High Priest.

I know where it is. Let me lead you to look for the devil Luan Jia.

- That's why, he also is a marionette of the devil. - Oh...

Huh?

Enough. Enough. Enough, Zi Su.

What really is wrong with you that you keep circling around here?

What do you need?

If I say it, you surely will scold me.

Am I that scary?

Look at how you described me.

No...

A Ji Ya, I feel that sometimes, I know you better than yourself.

Absurd.

Really. You are not the same as I.

I can say what I feel all the time.

I'm a person whose inner feelings are easily known.

But you are not.

You are suppressing a lot of problems inside your heart.

Maybe you yourself don't know it well, either.

Are you... here to do a heart to heart chat with me today?

I... I already thought about it the whole night.

What else can make you think all night?

A Ji Ya, can you not go with us this time to look for Luan Jia?

How can I not go? What nonsense are you saying?

But...

But... I really feel that in our journey this time to find her, our chance of success is very slim.

It's not that I have a devil's tongue.

A Ji Ya, you are older brother's only remaining younger sister.

The royal clan is already like this.

If something bad happens to you, the mortal world might be in danger.

They must have a leader.

Stupid girl, why are you overthinking?

If... I am saying if. If you all indeed get fraught with grim possibilities,

I can't continue living alone, either.

Even if I do continue to live alone, I can't do anything for you all, either.

Then why don't I just commit suicide which will give me a faster release.

I just knew that you'd say that.

But...

Think about it again, okay?

Think about it again.

Zi Su, why are you saying these kinds of words?

Ever since we went through life and death situations together until where we are now, we never saw you...

being so indecisive and irresolute.

- What really has happened? - I...

Look at me. Tell me what's going on.

I...

I don't want to let you lose anything again.

Stupid girl, why would I?

You told me before that when you opened your hand,

there were nothing inside it.

This is my fate.

I don't want to complain about it.

No.

A Ji Ya...

Everything that I have now are what you deserve.

I received so much and never lost anything.

But... I still wanted everyone to care for me.

I kept feeling that my heart was empty.

Don't think that because I usually act happy,

but I just want everyone to put their attention on me

and love me every minute, every second.

Only then do I get happiness.

We all care about you a lot.

Why are you still crying?

Who is crying?

I just... We have went through so many trials on this journey.

I suddenly realized that I really fear losing.

I am afraid to lose Xiong Fei.

I am afraid to lose all of you.

Zi Su, we all will stay by your side forever.

I promise you, okay?

I don't want you to stay by my side!

I only want you to stay here in the capital.

I just want you to stay here!

A Ji Ya, just wait for us to come back, okay?

You are afraid that I will lose my life, is that it?

I have everything.

I never lost anything.

But you have lost so much.

I don't want you to lose your life, either, A Ji Ya.

How am I as weak as you think?

I have very good martial arts skills. Have you forgotten?

What you said is wrong.

I have always been worried about you.

You lost so much.

You never were blissful.

I don't want you to lose your life, either.

Zi Su...

You are my family.

The things I lost before will come back sooner or later.

Isn't life just like that?

Nonstop searching and nonstop gaining.

How can I just watch and not do anything?

Watch and do nothing?

How are you not? Last time, while at the Illuminati--

Why are you still holding these grudges?

Those were all in the past.

I am not. I am not.

It was you who said that.

I was just giving an example.

Big Bro! What place is this?

This place is so far away.

We haven't been here, either.

We don't know what place this is.

Let's just continue moving forward.

Let's go.

Go. Go. Go now.

Thousands of years have passed with just a snap of a finger.

Things are already not the same as they were before.

Luan Jia, I'm leaving now.

Emperor You Ran, you cannot leave.

Right now, there are wars everywhere.

I can only choose to battle.

Believe me.

Only by bleeding, sacrificing, and fighting non-stop,

can we make the citizens of the world have a peaceful life.

Can't you Emperor You Ran, a mortal human whom I respect and like,

understand at all that war can only bring damages?

You must understand that everything I am doing now

is because I hope that I can have a peaceful life with you

instead of a life under the slavery of the current selfish desired ruler.

If that's the case, I will then steal the Magic Stars in Heaven for you.

Right now, the world is getting divided.

If we divide the five Magic Stars to different places,

then the world will be in power balance and the citizens will be able to live peacefully.

The wars will also end soon.

Do those Magic Stars actually have such magical power?

That's right.

But the Magic Stars can create the world and can also destroy it.

If one vainly attempts to gather them for his own use, it will invite a disaster of extinction.

For the others, I am not sure.

But I trust you.

The beauty of the mortal world will depend on you guys.

The moment you betray the Magic Stars will be the moment that you betrayed me.

You then will fall into neverending hell.

Luan Jia,

believe me.

That's great.

By that time, the world will be in peace.

I won't need to suffer grave punishment, either.

When that time comes, we then can peacefully be at each other's side forever.

Hey! Look! How come there is a female statue there?

So strange. This half-human, half-fish statue, could it be a mermaid?

According to the scriptures of the Mountains and Sea, the sea dragon in Eastern Ocean is the mermaid.

But how come it appeared here?

Maybe there are mermaids here.

That can't be the statue of that Pu Luo Luan Jia, right?

Hey, look.

There are two people on it.

Hey! I am Zhan Xiong Fei. Greetings!

May the two of you tell us the path to the Icy Snow Castle!

They were gone.

How come the two of them just suddenly disappeared?

Although I was not able to see it clearly, the woman earlier seems to be...

Luan Jia.

Huh?

Then who is the man beside her?

Could it be that we all had a hallucination?

Anyway, all of us must be careful.

It seems that the more I think about it, the more something is amiss.

It is like something is guiding us here.

Could it be an evil scheme of that Luan Jia?

I never told all of you before that mermaids are naturally cruel.

They live by eating humans.

That's why, everyone must be careful.

Huh?

She looks quite pretty.

It is because she uses her beauty to attract people and then eat them.

Understand?

As the saying goes, all pretty women can't be trusted.

Hey! How come these words of yours are not that pleasant to hear?

I... I am not talking about you two.

Enough. Enough. Let's not scare ourselves anymore.

In our journey, from the Golden Sand Fortress to the Bloody Fog Forest,

from the Illuminati to the Underground City,

what weird monsters have we not seen?

This Luan Jia, no matter if she is a god or a devil,

we Heaven Strategy Envoys will surely not be afraid of her.

That's right.

Let's continue moving forward.

- Let's go. - Go!

Let's go!

Say, what do you all think is on the other side of the mountain?

To know what is on the other side of the mountain,

you have to personally go over there to see it.

Maybe it will still be mountains.

The people on that side of the mountain want to come over here to look

while the people here don't know that the people on that other side of the mountain are also curious about them.

Getting thousands of books is like travelling thousands of miles.

There are things that one must experience first before one will know how it feels.

That's right. This principle is like after eating so many dishes,

but all of them are just different from your own cooking.

If you ask me, what you all said are wrong.

Then you tell us what is there on the other side of the mountain?

The other side of the mountain is... the other side of the mountain.

So sorry, everyone. The road in front is too slippery.

For the remaining roads, you all must walk it by yourselves.

- Oh. - Okay then.

- Thank you. - Okay, thank you.

Master Luan Jia, please let my son go.

Hui'er, I am father. I am father.

Don't you recognize me anymore?

Stop shouting already. He won't go with you.

Right now, he only listens to me.

But to tell you the truth, your son is quite a good entertainer.

He told me a lot of jokes.

- You... - Hey.

Didn't you promise me that as long as I listen to you, you will let my son go?

It's not that I am not letting him go.

It's he who doesn't want to go.

You lied to me.

Since the start when we father and son mistakenly entered your Ice Bound Valley,

you then used my son to threaten me, to let me work for you.

Right now, you instead got back on your words!

- Don't be like this. - Hey,

he doesn't have his own consciousness anymore. Just give up.

There's no other way.

You converted him to a frozen human.

What's the difference with that of a frozen post?

These frozen men after getting frozen are different from usual people.

Everyday, they will imbibe new knowledge

and establish their new identity.

But this curse can also be broken.

It depends on whose consciousness is stronger.

But too bad, your son cannot.

You!

Deity Luan Jia has a longevity the same as Heaven.

I am willing to be your servant and follow your orders.

I don't know if you have anything that you are worried about.

I am willing to do my best to help unburden and resolve your problems.

Just you?

Do you think you can hide from me those intentions of yours?

Lord, be careful!

It's another changing of the times, the Magic Stars appearing in the world.

In the end, the one who will decide your fate is yourself.

The right and wrong that you all choose will soon decide if the world will survive or gets destroyed.

I really never thought that measly individuals like you actually can gather all the Magic Stars.

But in the end, a greedy person can never amount to much.

A person like you can never succeed no matter how strong you are.

No. No. You are wrong.

In front of the gods, I might be measly,

greedy, and selfish, but as long as I am strong enough,

my men can let go of their own desires and be loyal to me in defeating my enemies.

I am afraid that when that person hears these words of yours, he will not agree.

If you become the ruler of the world,

the flourishing age that he dreams of will never happen.

Men would kill each other for your lust.

They will even forget that as your subjects, they should be loyal to you.

They will only imitate your selfishness and cruelly kill each other;

letting the power that you are saying fall into its weakest state in the future.

I don't know if by the time you see this situation,

will you regret your initial ambition of conquering the world?

You are belittling me too much!

Belittling you?

Then fine. I'll give you one chance.

I'll let you see how you all will kill each other just for one's selfish interest.

There is only one that can live among you three.

And I will give that person who will live a chance to survive.

Qiu Zhi, how could you have attacked Ma Shun? He is my man!

Not only him, even you! You all must die!

- Qiu Zhi! - Don't move!

Let me tell you. All your hearts are selfish and distorted.

Just for one's selfish interest, you will betray your previous promises.

Just like now, just to survive,

he can point the knife to a weaker person.

The loyalty you are talking about is just an imagination that you have,

while the reality isn't like you think.

What is the reality?

The reality is that if you want to live, then you must make the other party die.

If it was you, you also would point the knife to Ma Shun without hesitation..

You only know to point the knife to a weaker individual.

Having no conscience at all. Ding Song, you are too greedy.

Although you extends your sword towards me today

and you keep doing things that are disdained by the people in this world,

I will still fulfill my promise. Leave now.

You are not a strong man.

Oh, my god. How is this something a human can create?

This clearly is the work of gods.

That's right. It's really super beautiful.

If not because of Luan Jia, this place is clearly a paradise on earth.

Do you have something on your mind?

You are the one who has something on your mind.

Stop overthinking. You will develop wrinkles.

What's wrong with something on my mind? Is that illegal?

Just tell me what's on your mind.

I guarantee that you'll stay healthy and relaxed for the rest of your life.

You're garrulous, Foxy Person.

Zi Su,

no matter what is in front, we surely can pass through it.

Believe me.

Let's go.

Oh, no! There is a blizzard coming!

A Ji Ya! Come.

Zi Su!

Don't be afraid! I am here!

Xiong Fei! Xiong Fei, wake up.

What place is this?

This... What are all these?

Are they still humans?

Probably not anymore.

They should be considered as ice sticks.

It's fine. Don't be afraid.

Let's hurry and look for a path out of here.

Stop right there!

- Ma Da Dao? - Ma Da Dao?

Welcoming you two in joining the Icy Snow Castle.

Who are you?!

Shut up! This is your master, Luan Jia. Aren't you two still going to hurry and kneel?

- Luan Jia? - Luan Jia?

So you are Luan Jia?!

It turns out that all these disasters were started by you!

Hurry and say it. Where did you hide my other friends?

Hand them over...

or else, I'll let you suffer!

Being so arrogant.

Ma Da Dao, this is all your fault!

It was because you opened the box and released the sealed Luan Jia.

Do you know that the whole capital now is covered with snow?

The Snow Spot Disease will soon kill everyone!

Ma Da Dao, it was all because of you that Thirteenth Older Sis got inflicted with that hateful Snow Spots Disease!

Today, I'll let you two pay with your blood!

To tell you the truth, I never thought you two had such courage to challenge a deity.

What kind of deity are you?

You only know to do cruel tricks. You are despicable!

Xiong Fei...

You seem to care about him a lot.

Of course. Humans have feelings.

Unlike you, cold and heartless!

Little girl, you all are just individuals who hug the blanket to get some warmth.

Then how about you?

You don't even have the basic human nature.

I don't care about that human nature that's not my business.

Anyway, the world will be destroyed, too.

What's the use of having them?

Destruction is the oracle I'm giving this world.

By that time, you must know

that living is for the purpose of dying.

The end of life is indeed death.

But the meaning of life surely isn't dying.

Don't try to fool me!

Ma Da Dao, are you really just going to look as the world plunges into misery?

Which side are you really on?

And Thirteenth Older Sis even kept worrying about you.

I just want to take revenge.

I must make the Emperor completely regret everything he did.

I want him to know that he was wrong

and that his choice has destroyed the whole world.

I want him to keep regretting until he dies.

Insane. All of you have gone insane.

Luan Jia, having such power, why must you choose destruction?!

If it was me, I would surely let the people by my side have a happy and blissful life!

What you are saying is just illusions of yours.

No. You never experienced the beauty of the human world.

If you did, you then would not bear to lose this world like us.

You would want to protect it without second words.

Why would you go destroy it?

This oracle of yours is not true!

You don't believe my oracle, is that it?

Then fine. I'll give you an oracle, too.

You will meet the destined man for you very soon

and then make a forever marriage pact with each other.

Why are you saying these things?

That Zi Su... don't believe her!

These are all just tricks.

She is just saying that to get your favor.

If you want anything, come to me!

Zi Su, no matter what happens, don't believe her!

She's just lying to you! I...

A Ji Ya!

Zi Su!

Yuan Shuai!

Xiong Fei! Where are all of you?!

A Ji Ya!

Move!

Informing master, we found this person outside the gate of Icy Snow Castle.

- Leave now. - Yes.

What have you done with my friends?

A Ji Ya...

Emperor You Ran's descendant. Do you know who I am?

I'm guessing you are Luan Jia.

If you want anything, face me!

Don't hurt my friends.

Sharing blessings and danger together.

Really touching.

Come over to talk.

What really do you want before you can release my friends?

Look at these flowers of mine. They never bloomed.

If you can let them bloom, I will let you and your friends go.

What is that?

This is your ancestor, Emperor You Ran.

My ancestor? Why is it here?

If you want to know it that much, I can tell you a story.

Thousands of years ago, just for Emperor You Ran, I went through hardships to steal the Magic Stars.

Instead, in the end, he betrayed me.

He took these Magic Stars and caused trouble to the world.

In the end, he got sealed by the Supreme God into this skeleton.

I never thought that he would come to my side again.

What exactly do you want?

What do I want?

I just want him to accompany me to witness the destruction of the three worlds.

Luan Jia, you are also my ancestor.

You left a very important trace in the royal blood line.

Can't you just sit down with me and discuss things?

Must we really kill each other like this?

Do you know that the citizens in the city are all also your citizens?

This is not called killing each other.

This is what Emperor You Ran deserved.

That's why you are passing the responsibility?

What responsibility do I have?

You dare say that in this act of being hated by both men and gods, you don't have any responsibility at all?

The turmoils of human affairs isn't something that a little girl like you can fully understand.

Enough. Let's not talk about this anymore.

You better just think of how to make these flowers bloom.

Older Bro Fei...

Zi Su!

Older Bro Fei!

Older Bro Fei.

What ghostly place is this?!

Older Bro Fei! Zi Su!

Older Bro Fei! Zi Su!

Older Bro Fei-- Woah!

You villains will soon die in your own greed.

Hey! Why are you scaring people out of the blue?

Didn't I just eat a few of your things only?

Maybe you still don't know my, Wei Guan's, ability.

What Gua? I never heard of such a name.

But looking how you are dressed up, it's really quite strange.

Look at your surroundings.

These were all like you, unable to resist temptation.

When you reach this place, you only have one kind of ending.

That is death.

Who can block off your desire for food?

I'm the real terminator here.

What really do you want?

What do I want?

Look at these people. They were all like you.

I am going to lock you up in here.

Wear down your will until you get used by me in the end.

No way!

Selfishness and greed bring destruction.

You are all selfish and greedy.

As long as you have your greediness, you can be used by me.

This is also your last desire for food

and will be my servant.

Impossible!

Then I'll let you try what is possible and not.

The temperature and humidity were all indeed proper.

How come you just won't bloom?

If you still don't bloom, that old monster will eat me.

In just a short day, do you want it to bloom?

Aren't you being too rushed?

I know that flowers have their time of blooming.

But since so many years have passed and it still won't bloom, I then want to hear an explanation from you.

What is there for me to explain?

Where did these flowers come form?

As they say, soil from a certain place can raise certain plants.

The problem with these flowers may be in its soil.

This flower came from the capital.

No wonder. The capital is thousands of miles away from here.

Won't it really not bloom?

I'll let it feel a tinge of the capital.

This will also work, won't it?

Of course. Do you think that this flower is a dead object?

It also has feelings like humans.

If you don't treat it well, then it won't treat you well.

Only by treating it well will it treat you well.

Full of nonsense.

Even people don't have feelings, so why will plants have them?

Then why did you spend so much energy to raise these flowers from the capital?

Isn't it to look for something to vent your feelings?

A beautiful face will soon be destroyed in one night.

Thousands of thoughts, just racking my brain in vain.

Ask for more information but cannot obtain.

Just abandoning me like I am a mere nothing. This is my fate!

Why don't I just destroy all of these things and start all over?!

Are you crazy?!

I have always wanted to forget this person.

To forget him, the only thing I can do...

I kept making myself not remember him.

Why then must I create this garden?

Such a joke.

Not only must I totally forget him, I even will give his mortal world my greatest revenge.

This is what destiny should reward me!

The flowers have bloomed! They really have bloomed!

If these flowers are really what you want, then let me go.

I will send you to a safe place thousands of miles from here.

Although alone, I can't do anything.

But I won't simply give up.

- Then what do you want? - I want to see my friends.

I am doing this for your own good.

For the sake of us having half-blood connections, you should be grateful.

No. I want to see my friends.

How come you all are so stubborn?

If you won't let me see them, I won't leave this place.

Okay. Fine then.

Anyway, this world will soon get destroyed.

It's the same wherever you go.

Zi Su, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Where is Luan Jia?

Xiong Fei, what is this place?

I don't know, either.

Let's go. Be careful.

Stop! Don't come near!

Old Qian! Why are you here?!

Leave! Leave!

Be careful!

Xiong Fei, be careful!

Who are you?

The War God, Gongsun Qi.

A Ji Ya!

Xiong Fei, where are you all?!

Bai Ze! I am here!

A Ji Ya!

How are you? Are you alright?

I'm fine, but Zhang Xiong Fei and the others are still locked up inside the Icy Snow Castle.

Icy Snow Castle? Have you also gone there?

Then do you still remember the road back to there?

You all really have such deep friendship and loyalty.

After meeting, you two didn't think of how to escape.

Instead are concerned about the whereabouts of your comrades.

If I tell you two that they are currently in dire straits right now, what would you do?

Who are you?!

She is Pu Luo Luan Jia. Be careful.

Pu Luo Luan Jia?

You are Luan Jia, right? What did you do to my friends?

They are inside the Ice Bound Valley.

But the Ice Bound Valley is a place where one can never return from.

Are you sure that you want to go there?

If you continue forward, it will be a path to death.

But it might also be a path towards the Ice Bound Valley.

If you walk back, it will be a survival path.

Maybe you two can even go back home alive.

No need to choose anymore. We surely will move forward.

No matter how huge the difficulties we must face, we surely will go save our friends.

Fine then. Since you two chose the path to death that is to move forward,

then you are on your own.

She's gone.

A Ji Ya, are you willing to come with me to save Xiong Fei, Yuan Shuai, and Zi Su?

Of course.

Okay. Even if we are to die, we must die together.

Let's go.

Old Qian!
