[Immortal Samsara]

[Episode 18]

Only what?

Why did he leave without finishing the sentence?

Only...

Only when the Butterfly of Lucid Dreaming

detects that there's no attachment or love remaining,

and when the root of love is severed can it break its cocoon to become a butterfly.

Even if it's crushed to death,

it can be reborn because it carries no emotional resentment.

Night Forgetting River

is full of beings without emotions

and those who have given up on love.

So it's not strange

for the butterfly to appear here.

It turns out the butterfly dream I had

at the cottage in the past

meant he has no feeling for me.

It turns out he's never loved me

from the very beginning.

Since that's the case,

you should stop dwelling on it.

You'll definitely succeed

in crossing the river today.

(Yandan,)

(you kept failing to cross the river.)

(I can only try to create an opening in the river)

(and send you directly to the mortal world.)

(It's just that you'll retain)

(your memories this way.)

(So)

(I can't face you in my real form)

(and increase your pain.)

(I only hope this view of blossoms)

(can become a beautiful part of your memory in the future.)

Take care.

Who are you?

The river crossers who don't wish to be implicated

and want to live

should get lost.

Capture the woman behind alive

for me.

(Hades?)

(Why does he want to capture Yandan?)

You're asking for it.

Kill him!

I've been to Bi City,

the northern capital,

Mount Yan,

the Wushui region,

and Diling Town.

Yandan,

it's been almost 900 years now.

I've searched every corner of the mortal world

and met tens of thousands of people.

But why can't I find you?

Where on earth are you?

(I will not give up.)

Aoxuan?

Yumo,

we were at the Heavenly Realm together for so long.

Yet, I didn't even find out who you were.

You hid very well.

It's too bad

that I have your scale.

As long as you perform spells,

I can find you based on the signs of spiritual power

and kill you.

The Dragon Clan is causing such a scene.

Aren't you afraid that the rest of the Aquatic Clan

will find out about my identity?

How would they know

if I kill you?

Attack!

Trying to escape?

It won't be that easy!

Yizang,

leave now.

I'm his target.

Go!

Hades goes rampant without reason.

I've been wanting to teach him a lesson.

Don't worry.

I won't get hurt.

Wait here for me.

You're the great Hades.

Why do you want to capture a river crosser?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you question me this way?

I've been here for more than 800 years.

No one has ever tried to capture me.

Today's incident is fishy.

Someone must be behind this.

You should leave now.

As expected, you do have an accomplice.

Sonic Bat belongs to the Heavenly Realm.

Who are those in the Heavenly Realm you're liaising with?

(Hades only uses his left hand to attack)

(because he's afraid someone would see the backlash on his right hand.)

So this is the reason you're after Yandan.

(This body will soon be mine!)

Give me the Four-Leaf Lotus to me now!

If you make another move, you'll succumb to your internal demon.

(He's actually Sovereign Lord Qingli, Yingyuan?)

Yizang,

what just happened?

What's going on now?

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

Wait for me.

You're the master of the Night Forgetting River.

You abuse the power of the dark force

to kill living beings.

Today, I shall take you down

and punish you for your crime.

The Golden Seal of the Seven Planets?

Your Majesty,

I only acted so foolishly

because I was tricked.

Your Majesty,

please spare me this time.

The Golden Seal of the Seven Planets is an artifact that belongs to Sovereign Lord Wanyun.

You've never sparred with him.

Tell me.

How did you get these injuries?

During the Divine-Demon War,

Sovereign Lord Wanyun inflicted a serious injury on me.

Could Your Majesty not know about this?

Your Highness,

the Demon Clan told us to provide reinforcement here.

But they haven't shown up yet.

Could the war ahead be unfavorable to them?

So they had abandoned us and fled?

I knew Elder Shuohua can't be trusted

when he said we'll reap the benefits.

There's no such thing as free lunch in this world.

Maybe they're sending us to die in their stead.

So you're colluding with the Demon Clan

in this battle too, Hades.

I shall report this to the Divine Realm

and ask His Supreme Majesty to punish you!

Demon King is dead.

All of you should surrender now!

Demon King is dead?

Sovereign Lord, please have mercy on us.

I was confused

because Demon King enchanted me.

I've always been loyal to the Divine Realm.

I've never thought of betraying the Divine Realm for these tens of thousands of years.

Please spare me.

The news of the battle has been spread all over the Divine Realm.

His Supreme Majesty also made it clear

that it was Demon King Xuanxiang

who led the army into the Illusion of Demons

while the Three Sovereign Lords and Star Deity Jidu were off guard.

If it's as you said,

the Demon Realm would be in chaos

if the Three Sovereign Lords killed the Demon King

because no one would be leading the clan.

Then why would the Three Sovereign Lords die in battle?

I have no idea.

After the defeat,

I was imprisoned

at the Heavenly Prison by the heavenly soldiers.

After the battle was over,

His Supreme Majesty considered the fact that it was my first offense

and that I didn't cause a huge problem.

So he only punished me to drain ten thousand years of my cultivation

and had me exiled to Night Forgetting River.

Since then, I've doubled my tribute every year

and have the utmost respect to the Heavenly Realm.

I'd never dare to deceive you, Your Majesty.

(If the Divine-Demon War)

(is what Hades said,)

(why is it different from what's said in the Heavenly Annals?)

(Could it be that there was something else behind the heavy casualties )

(suffered by the Divine Realm back then?)

When I'm done with my business,

I'll return to question you again.

Yandan.

Let go, Yizang.

Hades wants to kill me.

If you try to stop him again,

your life will be in danger.

I can only head to the river

to meet my death

so you could be safe.

Yandan, don't worry.

I know a way to cross the river

and send you directly to the mortal world.

Don't tell me you're willing to die here

instead of going to the mortal world.

Yes.

I either forget

or die.

Or else,

I'll suffer endlessly

no matter where I go.

(I'm so useless.)

(That person only took half of your heart away.)

(Can't you forget him)

(even if you dissipate?)

Yandan,

you won't be able to endure this pain.

I've endured

all sorts of pain here.

The pain from having my heart gouged out, being punished by thunder strikes,

having my body ripped apart at the Bridge of Emptiness,

and having my heart burned by the scorching fire in the Hade's Realm

can't even be compared

to the pain of a broken heart.

I must forget him.

I can't turn back now.

Yandan,

do you really want to forget everything?

Yes.

I've been heartbroken for him for too long.

This time,

I only wish to be free from such torture.

I haven't fulfilled

the promise I made.

This time,

the last thing I can do for you

is to fulfill your wish.

(No one has ever been successful)

(in erasing memories)

(because of the strict rules since ancient times.)

(If you insist on forgetting everything,)

(I'll do my best)

(to go all out.)

(Water from the Night Forgetting River)

(wipes out all feelings and love.)

(Anyone who fails to cross the river)

(because of one's obsession)

(can use this method instead.)

(Refine a bone from the Life and Death Arena.)

(Collect water from the Night Forgetting River.)

(Gather the ashes from the Afterlife Path.)

(Refine it into a sleeping pill.)

Oh, consecrated dark force. I ask of you the Fire of the Flaming Heart.

You're not Hades.

-Who are you? -I come from the Heavenly Realm.

It's a matter of urgency.

So I borrowed Hades' identity

to request for the Fire of the Flaming Heart from the dark force.

Any sacrifices?

Good.

You're more useful than that useless man.

Those who borrow such fire must undergo a sincerity test.

For what reason do you want this?

An old friend is trapped in the Night Forgetting River.

I want to borrow this power

so I'd feel at ease.

You're lying.

I've let this person down.

It's hard to repay her kindness.

I only ask to be sacrificed

so I'd feel at ease.

That's not true!

This person...

This person is the one I love.

However,

we were not fated to be together despite the deep affection.

We had to part ways in the end.

I only wish

for her memories of the past to be erased.

So she can live happily

for eternity.

This is your true feeling.

(Erasing memories by force)

(will cause physical pain.)

(But the Chenhua hairpin has healing effects.)

(If you wear it,)

(you'll feel less pain.)

[Memory erasing method]

(With the Fire of the Flaming Heart,)

(burn the token of love to the one)

(who wants to forget everything.)

(Then the love and memories)

(in the past life can be forgotten.)

Give it back to me.

♪The dust washes over the joy and the pain♪

(I can't even keep)

(my last thought of you.)

I didn't know it would be this heart-wrenching

Sovereign Lord Yingyuan,

the stars are beautiful.

don't go!

[Bridge of Emptiness]

If you stop me,

you'll have to suffer another heartbreak.

Let go.

I can't.

We are strangers, after all.

What are you so obsessed with?

During my earthly encounter,

I've loved

and been heartbroken.

That's already enough.

But have you ever shown me your true feelings?

(Your love is so deep)

(that it's hard to erase the old memories.)

(Only by burning the root)

(of your affection for me)

(can your memories be completely erased.)

I've shown you my feelings.

You should stop your obsession.

♪Even the star frost♪

♪Can't stop the fleeting time♪

♪I used to borrow your eyes♪

♪I followed you across the endless seas♪

♪Reluctant to leave you♪

♪I've wasted a millennium♪

♪Love can only be redeemed if the deadline is forgotten♪

(In the past, you wished)

(you could be a mortal who lives freely.)

(You can only be reincarnated as a human)

(if you cross the river.)

(I burned off your root of love,)

(your feelings, and memories of me)

(by force today.)

(Without spiritual power to protect your body,)

(I'm afraid you won't be able to endure the pain.)

(I can only let you leave here)

(as a spirit.)

The spirits live freely.

When you're in the mortal world,

you must be a flower spirit that lives freely.

I can no longer be with you

in the future.

I only wish this Chenhua hairpin

can keep you safe always

when you're in the mortal world.

♪I followed you across the endless seas♪

♪Reluctant to leave you♪

♪It seems too hard to profess my love♪

(The past is gone.)

(They shouldn't stay in the world anymore.)

♪Love can only be redeemed if the deadline is forgotten♪

♪Deep love is engraved in my heart♪

(There are many doubts)

(about the seal on Hades.)

(I must return and question him.)

(He could actually damage my immortal spirit.)

(This person is by no means simple.)

(He's stalling time.)

(Could it be that he's diverting my attention?)

(They had actually crushed his internal core?)

(They could do something as ruthless as this just to silence him.)

(There must be a secret behind the Divine-Demon War.)

(Now that Sonic Bat is dead)

(and Hades is eliminated,)

(this person must have gone hidden.)

(If I want to find out the truth)

(and expose his identity,)

(investigating it from the Demon Clan would be a start.)

Zilin!

you attacked the Mountain Chief

and caused damage to the mountain area.

You should surrender now!

You've become Qiuxi's lapdogs

and harmed your own tribesmen.

Do you even behave

like spirits now?

Nice one.

I'll remember your kindness.

No need to go after him!

Soul-crashing hook has damaged his dragon core.

He'll die without doubt.

Listen.

If it weren't for my Golden Ten Millennium Armor,

we would have died.

Hey.

Hey.

He's seriously injured.

You saved my life today.

I won't let you die.

[Qianyun Palace]

Is that so?

Father.

Aoxuan.

Zhaolan?

What brings you here?

Zhaolan came with Dragon King of the South Sea

to discuss the wedding date.

I'll go and entertain your future father-in-law in the inner hall.

You two should talk.

Wedding date?

So you're willing to marry me now?

Where's my thing?

For 900 years,

you came to see me for the first time

only because of the scale?

You said

you'll return it to me

the day I'm willing to marry you.

As the Crown Prince,

don't go back on your words.

I threw it away.

What?

When and where did you throw it away?

I don't remember.

I never cared

about insignificant objects like this.

Aoxuan.

If you go back on your words,

consider our wedding canceled.

You refuse to marry me?

The guy you have a crush on is already dead.

I shall see how long you can hold on.

(My dragon core was damaged.)

(I can't believe it can actually recover.)

(Where is this place?)

You're finally awake.

This hot spring is indeed magical.

It can even save a dying person.

Where is this?

Enough.

Stop asking questions.

We shouldn't stay here too long.

This is Qiuxi's private stronghold.

If he finds out we're using it secretly,

he'll take revenge.

Since you're already here,

why rush to leave?

It's Qiuxi.

I didn't expect to capture a tortoise.

You seem to like my territory, I see.

This will be the residence I prepared for you.

Stinky lizard.

Do you think you can imprison me here?

You're getting ahead of yourself here.

-(Let me go now!) -(Move!)

What's the point of looking beautiful?

-You'll still end up as Mountain Chief's meal. -Move!

Move it!

Bailing?

-Hurry up! Move it! -Don't try anything funny.

Come over here!

Chief,

we've already caught the spirits who escaped yesterday

and the lark who delivered the message.

Stinky lizard.

You're so beautiful.

How nice it'd be if you became my concubine.

Why did you seek your own death by sending the message

and showing this traitor the way?

You massacred hundreds of the avian spirits.

Our grudge will never be resolved!

Fine.

Then I'll fulfill your request

and send you to reunite with your tribesmen!

Stop!
