[Episode 36]

[The Way is Topgallant]

What? You want to quit practicing the Heartless Way?

It's not like that, Father.

It's just that I'm still attached to him.

I don't think I'll ever make a breakthrough.

I'm not fated to attain godhood.

I'm sorry that I let you down, Father.

Get up.

Susu, are you sure Jiumin is the one?

Mm. Would that be fine with you, Father?

Oh, sweet pea, my opinion doesn't matter.

You know better than anyone if he is a decent guy.

Besides, he was able to refine the Heart-guarding Scale.

And that's enough to prove that he has the kindest and the purest soul.

He's a reliable man you can count on.

Father…

It doesn't matter if you can ascend.

Whatever your decision may be,

I just want you to stay safe and happy.

If you ever find yourself on the wrong path,

just turn around.

I will always be there for you.

That means a lot, Father.

And… don't worry about the evil bone.

I'll think of something.

Susu.

So you do have the evil bone.

Why didn't you tell me?

Do you have any idea how many crave its power?

Was it Jiumin's idea to keep us in the dark?

He must be seeking a chance to retrieve the bone.

That's why he's sticking around.

No. That's not it.

He just found out a while ago.

I didn't want to tell anyone because I thought

the evil bone would cause catastrophic havoc.

How could you have been so careless?

You don't understand the scale of its power.

You may be of a pure spirit body with the ability to keep out regular demonic energy,

but it's the evil bone we're talking about. Even the Heavenly Pillar failed to contain it.

What makes you think you can?

I didn't have a choice.

I removed the evil bone using my divine essence,

only to realize it was indestructible.

So I had to seal it in me.

[It was the Devil Sound Spell, again.]

Nian Baiyu, I'm looking for you

because I've got a little job for you.

What exactly do you want?

Everyone knows he no longer has the bone.

If anything, he has no value to you anymore.

That is none of your concern.

Just bring me the devil fetus

and leave the rest to me.

But… Don't forget

why you're here, Nian Baiyu.

Unless you want all of them to die,

you will do as you're told.

Understood.

[Si Ying and Jing Mie are coming for Jiumin.]

[They haven't found out where the bone is, or have they?]

[I'd better get a move on.] [Time is of the essence.]

Susu, after a lengthy discussion, your dad and I

decided to combine our power to cast an array

for you at 12 midnight the day after tomorrow. It's called the Yin-Yang Array.

To nullify the evil bone's power. It's for our peace of mind.

Well, Father, I know you two have been chewing it over for the last 24 hours.

I can't describe how thankful I am.

Not to forget Uncle Zhaoyou.

He's been rushing around making arrangements for my wedding.

This is a peaceful time for all three realms.

To our kind of people, there's nothing bigger than you marrying Jiumin.

Just know that we are really happy for you.

For now, put everything else behind you.

Speaking of which,

we owe a debt of gratitude to your dad.

We were mistaken about him.

Since the Demon Subduing Peak incident, he's been feeling guilty for wrongly accusing Jiumin.

But being naturally unexpressive, he left it unsaid.

When he heard the good news, he offered to suppress the evil bone for you

at the risk of all his power being dried up.

He said that would be the only way

you and Jiumin could live a carefree life.

"Call it a token of apology." he said.

It's about time you showed her the tiger.

This is… a rooster-shaped stone?

Tiger.

He made it for you, out of lava from the Barren Abyss.

He always wanted to give it to you in person.

At the Barren Abyss, I thought about what to give you every day.

In most cases, giving kids tigers made of fabrics is a more popular option.

There was nothing there but stones.

The lava rocks were hard. And I was weak.

I had to strike the rock a little at a time.

Then one day, it finally looked like the shape I desired.

And you, my daughter, whom I haven't seen in years,

are all grown up. I did not do enough for you.

Now I just want to do whatever I can to make amends.

Father,

I'll take good care of the tiger.

I have good news.

Both my fathers have found a way to negate the evil bone.

They're going to cast a formation for that in three days.

How did your birth father know the bone was in your body?

He heard me talking to my Father about it.

He isn't an outsider anyway.

And this may surprise you, but he's a very gentle man.

Relax, Jiumin. As long as the evil bone's power is dampened,

you and I will live a long, peaceful life together.

Don't you want to have a full wedding ceremony this time?

Right. Once you've completed your training,

I'll come and pick you up with the betrothal gifts.

We'll get married again.

What makes you think I'll say yes?

Well, Chief Qu did.

I have his permission to be by your side forever.

Too late to back out now.

Aren't you worried I'll shoot nails into your body again?

So…

that's a yes?

Oh, you.

You only hear what you want to hear.

Now,

according to Mount Changze's tradition,

we're not allowed to see each other before the wedding.

Make sure you do a lot of planning and preparation.

Because my fathers just might call off the wedding if you fail to meet their standards.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

I'll bring enough betrothal gifts and pick you up at the pass.

It's your turn.

You old geezer, what's wrong with you?

You don't play chess or drink.

Your mind has wandered beyond the horizon.

This is something big.

Here.

Have a cup of tea first.

Wasn't I right about what happened

last time?

[Marriage Proposal]

Don't make me look bad.

After your beloved disciple joins the Hengyang Sect,

will you regret it?

Qu, thank you for saving Jiumin.

Even though he is a devil fetus, he faintly showed a figure of god

when he mastered the Heart-guarding Scale.

[This is sufficient proof that he has a firm mind in cultivation.]

[Given time,] [he'll be able to take on the responsibility]

[of protecting the people.]

[You become serious] [when we talk about him.]

[You're right.]

[Chief Qu, I'll trouble you then.]

[See you in three days.]

[Planning a wedding is a lot of work.]

[But does Lady of Spirituality remember] [to go to the lake to meditate every day?]

[What about Jiumin?]

[besides coming to Hengyang Sect to peep] [at Lady of Spirituality every day,]

[does he practice hard?]

Lady Susu.

You ask her.

Lady Susu, have you noticed that there are always some strange people around?

[Cang Jiumin, be patient.]

[We'll be together forever] [after tomorrow.]

Our classes are canceled tomorrow.

Chief asked us to do secluded cultivation for a day.

What's happening? Why?

Do you think something big is going to happen in the sect?

Something big?

The devil fetus's power is ruined. What can happen?

I think it is mostly related to something joyous.

Yeah. But Cang Jiumin isn't worthy of Lady of Spirituality.

He is a Devil God who is millions of years old.

I don't know what Chief is thinking.

Keep your voice down. That evil cultivator, Nian Baiyu, is staying somewhere near here.

What do you call this?

Demon King, Devil God and evil cultivator. Mount Changze has all of them here.

Knock it off. Keep silent.

Susu.

You'll lose all senses later. But don't be afraid.

You just have to trust us.

Thank you, fathers.

Silly girl, no need to thank me.

Uncle Zhaoyou will come to propose a marriage with betrothal gifts for Jiumin tomorrow.

We'll have two happy events to celebrate then.

Let's get started.

Sister, what are you thinking?

You look happy. Anything good happening?

We've found the entrance to Devil Palace.

We only need one thing from Hengyang Sect and His Lordship will be resurrected soon.

It's a make-it or break-it attempt.

Si Ying. I've been thinking a lot lately after coming round.

Whether a god, a demon or a human, we all exist only for a short time.

So the most important thing is to be good to yourself

and go after what you want.

You've dedicated your everything to the Devil God.

Have you thought about what you want?

Sister,

I want whatever His Lordship wants.

Sister, don't be silly.

You've given so much for the Devil God.

But what did he do for you?

His Lordship doesn't need to do anything for me.

I did everything willingly.

Sister, I shall take my leave.

If all goes well, the next time we meet

will be in the Devil God's presence.

Susu.

Susu?

It's the hour of the Rat and the formation has ended.

Why hasn't Susu woken up?

She looks bad. Could something go wrong?

What would go wrong?

Look.

Isn't the evil bone coming out?

What's going on?

No, why is this happening?

What's going on?

Isn't the formation supposed to suppress the evil bone?

Sky-Slashing Sword.

If only you could judge a man's character as accurately as you judge a weapon.

That's right. It's Sky-Slashing Sword,

the third demonic weapon.

Ten thousand years ago, I stabbed the Devil God with it.

That's why he sealed me in the Barren Abyss.

Everyone thinks that the Sword is missing like other demonic weapons.

Actually, it's always been with me.

I've misjudged you.

Unexpectedly, you've been after the evil bone

from the very beginning.

Chief Qu. In fact, I admire an upright man like you very much.

After meeting Chu Huang,

I wanted to be a faithful, good lover.

Unfortunately, the Devil God's power is too tempting.

In order to obtain that power,

I had no choice but to betray Chu Huang and go over to the Devil God.

And I ended up meeting this child.

After I reunited with Susu,

I was determined to make it up to her and be a good father.

However, fate makes a fool out of people.

You can only blame this child

for having such a close connection with the devil bone.

No! Don't hurt Susu!

No!

Susu.

No!

She is my daughter.

How could I kill her?

After I take out the evil bone,

she only needs to get through the injury to lead a peaceful life.

As her adoptive father,

you've worked hard for so many years to bring her up.

Now, you can rest in peace.

Susu.

You've made me wait for thousands of years.

Finally, it's my time to take control of the Devil God's power.

Your spiritual power is almost exhausted

and you're stabbed by the Sky-Slashing Sword.

Why bother to struggle?

You greedy man.

You covet the power of the Devil God.

You have no right to talk about karma with me.

Even if I use up my power and my divine form is shattered,

I won't let you take the evil bone away.

What a fool.

[As long as you are safe and happy,]

[no matter what you choose,] I will be happy for you.

Even if you make the wrong choice, don't be afraid.

I'll always be by your side to catch you

when you look back.

Father, thank you.

Susu.

I'm sorry.

[I…]

[can't catch you.]

Sister, something bad happened.

Let's go.

[Something bad has happened.]

[I need to get His Majesty out of here.]

[Where am I?]

[Tantai Jin, so?]

[You said when the time comes, you will return to the Barren Abyss.]

[I've found the entrance to the Devil Palace for you.]

[There's no better time than now.]

[Why am I here?]

[What exactly is going on?]

[Your Majesty, I've bid farewell to Chief.]

[Before leaving, I want to catch up with you.]

Baiyu, why are you leaving suddenly?

I'm worried about my family.

Your Majesty,

your situation hasn't improved even if the two chiefs defended you fiercely at the Demon Subduing Peak.

Have you thought about leaving here and going back to the Yiyue tribe with me?

Baiyu, I'm not a saint.

Honestly, I don't like being subjected

to criticism and having my life dictated by others.

But

as long as I can be with Susu, I can bear with all these.

Your Majesty, I heard that you're

going to marry the Lady of Spirituality and stay here forever.

But do you not care about the Yiyue tribe anymore?

My maternal tribe.

Speaking of which, I'm ill-fated.

Whoever related to me will be struck by disasters.

Perhaps staying away from me means staying away from trouble.

This is the best way to protect my maternal tribe.

Your Majesty, do you ever miss the days when you could rally multitudes with just one call as the ruler?

When you were ruling Jing,

With your governance, things were in good order and people lived in peace.

Don't you want to be back in that position to protect your maternal tribe?

I don't know if I miss it.

It's been 500 years.

Many things are like dreamy illusions.

Perhaps only this bright moon is eternal and unchanging.

[Surprisingly, your sidekick has some skills.]

[He really brought you back without anyone knowing.]

[It's Nian Baiyu.]

[Why?]

[No, now is not the time to think about these things.]

[Susu is waiting for me.]

[I need to find a way to run away.]

Cang Jiumin, you're finally back here.

Do you feel familiar?

I've never been here before. Why would I feel familiar?

This is the gate to the Demon Realm. The residence of the Devil God's true form.

You were born with evil bone.

How could you not recognize this gate?

What are you hesitating about?

You are afraid.

You're afraid that everything will be proven true.

[Since they're able to bring me here, they must be well-prepared.]

[It won't work if I force my way out.]

[Or I'll comply with them first and find a chance to escape.]

[Is this your home? It's so big.]

[Home?]

What is that?

It's like an animal's den.

Mo Nv and I used to call a cave by the Chi River home.

But the Divine Realm took us back for cultivation.

We have had no home since then.

This will be your home from now on.

Si Ying.

He really is the Devil God.

He's the Devil God we've been looking for.

What nonsense are you talking about?

If he is not the Devil God, how could he lift the interdict placed on the Demon Realm gate?

Forget it. You won't understand.

In short,

there is no Cang Jiumin

or Tantai Jin.

He can only be the Devil God.

[Come.]

[Come to see me now.]

[You'll have the answers to all the riddles.]

Who exactly are you?

Who exactly are you?

I'm asking you now.

I'm asking you now.

I'll ask you again.

Who exactly are you?

Or just let me tell you who you should be,

and how I was born.

[I was born out of natural disasters,]

[Kindness Hospital] Thank you, doctor.

Be careful when you get home. Do you need treatment?

Come in, please.

- [diseases,] - My chest hurts.

- Please, sir, give me some medicine. - We're not doing charity.

So you don't have any money. Leave!

[poverty,]

What are you looking at? Aren't you broke too?

Going to the hospital like others, huh?

Get lost!

Alright, there you go.

[starvation,]

Stop running, you thief!

I'm gonna beat you to death!

[filth,]

Are you blind or what?

What are you doing?

[rage,]

What are you doing?

Behave yourself!

You! You!

Don't you know who I am?

[killing,]

[sadness,]

[death,]

[and war.]

Welcome back, My Lord!

Welcome back, My Lord!

Welcome back, My Lord!

Spreading sins is my responsibility.

Gods are the light of this world.

But I

am the shadow of this world.

That's why I can't leave this world.

I've been alone in the demon realm for god knows how long.

Suddenly one day,

I figured out something.

There are sins in this world

because there's too much pain and happiness,

starvation and satiety,

and chaos and order.

All these are born relative to each other.

It's been like this since the beginning of time.

If this is the case,

the pain won't be eliminated.

Why can't I go the other way around

and let this world have no positive energy anymore?

All lives

will be indulged in pain due to the negative energy.

To create a peaceful world without happiness or sadness,

I've created the All-in-Distress Way.

When the world no longer has a difference between positive and negative energy,

there won't be any sins anymore.

When I achieve this goal,

the three realms will return to the chaos from which I was born,

and I will be free.

In your dreams.

Lady Susu, you're awake.

Little Yue Ya,

what happened to me?

Cang Jiumin stole your evil bone.

That's why you're injured and in a coma.

Slowly. Are you trying to get up?

Be careful.

What do you

mean by this?

Lady Susu,

Cang Jiumin killed Chief Qu,

seriously injured Lord of Evil

and took away the evil bone.

Nobody knows where he went.

[You'll lose all senses later.]

[But don't be afraid.]

[You just have to trust us.]

Thank you, Fathers.

Silly girl,

no need to thank me.

Impossible.

Lady Susu.

[Memorial Tablet of the Sect Chief Qu Xuan Zi]

Father,

how can you be…

Father!

Susu.

-Father! -Susu!

Tantai Jin did this.

No way.

He won't.

Father!

Whatever your decision may be,

I just want you

to stay safe and happy.

Father!

[Lady Susu.]

[Cang Jiumin killed Chief Qu,]

[seriously injured Lord of Evil]

[and took away the evil bone.]

[Nobody knows where he went.]

What are you

planning to do to Tantai Jin?

All sects will hunt him down.

If he resists,

they'll kill him on the spot.

Don't kill him.

He won't do such things.

Li Susu,

Master's just been dead,

but you're begging for mercy for the murderer?

Shouldn't he pay with his life for killing him?

No. There must be some misunderstanding.

Jiwu, I know Tantai Jin the best.

I beg you to give him a chance

to tell the truth

before he was killed.

Enough!

The facts can't be clearer.

You just don't want to believe them.

You were like this on the Demon Subduing Peak.

To protect Tantai Jin,

you actually hide the evil bone's whereabouts.

If not so,

the master won't be dead.

Hengyang Sect won't be in disgrace.

I'm ordering you as the leader of the Hengyang Sect.

From today on,

you're grounded in your room.

Jiwu…

[I'm still in the Devil Palace.]

My mark is shaped like a phoenix's feather.

It looks pretty.

[Susu's phoenix feather mark awoke me.]

Master, you're awake.

Please eat something.

Baiyu, answer me.

Why are you helping them?

Master,

I don't understand why you refuse to be the Devil God.

You used to crave power so much.

Baiyu,

Baiyu, I am no longer that king

in the mortal realm, Tantai Jin.

Now,

I'm Cang Jiumin from an immortal sect.

Then if this is for Yiyue tribe?

What does this have to do with the tribe?

Five hundred years ago,

soon after you entered the Nether River,

Si Ying and Jing Mie went to Yiyue tribe.

They said that the Yiyue tribe

had signed a covenant with the Devil God

to give birth to and raise the devil fetus.

They'd have violated the covenant

if they refused to hand over the fetus.

Only by finding you

can they be free from the fate of annihilation.

That's why I was forced to work for them.

I wish that one day,

I can help my people regain their freedom.

Now there's only one way to save them.

And that is you

becoming the Devil God.

Please, Master.

Please save them.

In these people, there's my mom

and the Moonshadow Guards

who once served you!

I'm begging you, Master!

Please save our people!

Just be the Devil God like they wanted, Master!

Please, Master!

I know

you want to save them as soon as possible.

But if I did what they asked,

the Devil God would be revived.

What about the lives in the four continents and three realms?

People of Yiyue do matter,

but the lives of the four continents and three realms

are just as important.

What a righteous speech.

Cang Jiumin, you're truly something else.

Who'd ever thought

the one who least wants to revive the Devil God

is actually his devil fetus.

You've promised me

you won't hurt my master.

Why are you getting worked up?

Take a look at your master.

Does he look like he's worried for his life?

You'd better not lose yours

before you can save anyone else.

Get out.

I'm gonna

have a chat with our Devil God.

Si Ying,

aren't you afraid that I'll kill you first

after I become the Devil God?

As long as Your Highness can resurrect,

my life

is worth nothing.

Take your hand away.

Cang Jiumin,

this flesh of yours

is the Devil God's shell.

I wouldn't damage it for no reason.

After ten thousand years,

I've finally seen this face again.

I'm in a good mood today.

Let me tell you a story.

Have you seen this Yellow-red umbrella?

She's not an artifact spirit,

but my elder sister.

Elder sister?

She's called Mo Nv.

And I'm called Si Ying.

We were born by the Chi River,

and we depended on each other for a living.

We lived our life without worries.

Wait for me.

Until one day,

The God of War, Tian Hao, from the immortal realm, took us away.

He put my sister into the Fire Quadripod.

Later, it was His Lordship

who killed Tian Hao

and saved me.

My sister's primordial spirit was damaged.

His Lordship sent her spirit to the mortal realm.

Her body

was fused with this red umbrella

and has always been by my side.

From then on,

His Lordship had become my benefactor forever.

But ten thousand years have passed.

Even my sister's primordial spirit has returned.

His Lordship hasn't resurrected yet.

I feel guilty towards His Lordship.

Guilty?

Is this the reason for you to do evil for him?

That's not the whole truth.

Although we do bring draught,

and eat travelers passing by,

that's just our nature.

Everything is for survival.

Just like beasts will hunt, we are observing the laws of nature.

Why were the two of us alone get punished by the immortal realm?

Was what the gods

did to my sister and me

the truth?

I want the orders of the world to collapse.

Only His Lordship's All-in-Distress Way can rule the world.

How stupid.

Do you know

blood ties,

and family relationships

are the foundation of the order of the world.

Your deceptive narrative

is just for covering

your hatred of this world

and confusing its original order.

Your hatred towards this world

originated from your love for your sister.

The world didn't fail you.

If you do this,

how are you different from Tian Hao

who hurt you and your sister?

You keep looking for a shell that's not him

because you can't let go of your obsession.

What you want

is but an illusion after all.

Your reasoning

is contradictory.

After living ten thousand years,

you're still so foolish.

How pathetic.

Shut up!

I'll pull your tongue out if not for

your use for His Lordship.

Are you going to kill me?

How can I kill my master?

You're the devil fetus we've been waiting for ten thousand years.

Why don't you let me serve you?

Just accept it.

I knew you wouldn't give up

returning to your sect so easily.

How about I show you something good?

While you were sleeping just now,

your subordinates didn't slack.

Jing Mie already sent the good news

that you had returned to the demon realm

to the immortal sects.

What's wrong with him?

He doesn't look right.

I'm presenting a gift to you

on behalf of the two guards of the Devil God.

What's going on?

Yeah, what happened to him?

Trying to play tricks?

Expressing my thanks to the Hengyang Sect

for keeping the devil fetus alive for us.

Now Cang Jiumin has returned to Barren Abyss.

The Devil Palace is reopened.

The Devil God

will soon be revived!

The Devil God is really coming?

So Cang Jiumin did harbor evil designs!

What should we do now?

What should we do?
