All language subtitles for The Story of Yuan Tiangang (2024) (Awafim.tv)

Commander, here's someone from the court.

I see.

(I've served 21 emperors)

(and witnessed the storms of the dynasty
for 300 years.)

(I'm Yuan Tiangang.)

(My connection with this country tracks)

(back to my childhood.)

[The Secret Legion Valley]

(I was born on a day marked
by calamity and loneliness,)

(with a fate of two sinister curses.)

(My parents were first killed,)

(then my neighbor's family.)

(The villagers considered me a monster)

(and drove me out of the village.)

(Uncle took me in without hesitation.)

(He let me learn from him.)

[Lord of the Secret Legion Valley,]
[Yuan Shoucheng]

(He believed that fate is made in heaven,)

(but luck can change with one's heart.)

(However, he was wrong.)

(At the age of 15,)

(heaven made me very sick)

(and then completely killed all my hopes.)

Master!

Go! Go to the Celestial Master's Residence
for help.

Who are you?

Where is the sword?

That sword doesn't belong to you.

Release my disciples.

Where is it?

The sword is at...

Is at...

(When I woke up from that severe illness,)

(the Secret Legion Valley
had changed drastically.)

(I had no idea what had happened here)

(and who had buried Uncle and my fellows.)

(I also had no idea why heaven had cast)

(such a vicious curse on me,)

(killing all those I wanted
to be close to.)

[The Leader Star, Yuan Shoucheng]

[The film is adapted
from Rocen Digital Technology's animation]

[A Portrait of Jianghu: The Mavericks.]

(Since then,)

(I became afraid to get close to people,)

(preferring to be solitary.)

(And I started to think of myself
as a killer.)

(Before taking an order,)

(I must ask for the target's birth date.)

(No matter how much I'm paid,)

(I focused on killing those
who are not meant to die,)

(as a way to defy fate.)

(I wanted to tell the unfair heaven)

(that fate is just a joke.)

(Life and death are not destined.)

[The Story of Yuan Tiangang]

[15 years later]

[Mantou Town]

(At the age of 30,)

(I traveled to the border.)

(In a town called Mantou,)

(I met a female agent.)

(I promised to kill ten people for her.)

(That day was our final deal.)

[A Light]

Yiyou year, the tenth day
of the fourth month, Mao hour.

Don't waste your money.

This person is under the influence
of the Seven Killings.

He is meant to die in the New Year.

The client can't wait till next year.

Name a price.

I'll charge you ten taels and five mace.

You never missed.

And I've never bargained with you.

I'm just curious.

You always ask for the client's
birth date.

And your prices are odd. Why?

Bone-weighing.

How do you weigh it?

A person born in the Yiyou year
has bones weighing five cash.

The fourth month weighs nine cash.

The tenth day is one mace six cash.
The Mao hour is one mace.

Adds up to three mace and four cash.

He's 51 years old.

Three mace and four cash multiplied by 51.

Keep the change.

That's my rule.

Do you really believe

that people's birth dates tell their fate?

For most people, yes.

Well, who are the others?

I.

Sounds like a liar.

How long will it take?

Before New Year's Eve.

As usual, I'll pay you the other half
when it's done.

(That woman was strange.)

(She can trade in human life)

(yet retain goodwill towards the world.)

(For me,)

(goodwill was an adventure.)

(It was unattainable.)

Come in. It's a ruined temple.

Let's help General sit down.

Bodhisattva, I hope General will
be safe and sound.

I hope our fellows can go home
for the New Year.

I hope General will be safe and sound.

I hope our fellows can go home
for the New Year.

General, you're awake.

General, our fellows have been caught
by the rebels.

Let's hide here for a while.

We can make a plan after returning
to the court and reporting to His Majesty.

General.

[Regional Military Governor, Zhang Xutuo]

Let's go back. I must save them.

General, we're outnumbered.

We'll throw ourselves into the trap.

New Year's Eve is approaching.

Let them die in a strange land...

No way.

General, please think twice.

General, think twice.

Who is it?

Just call me Yuan.

This is not the place for you. Leave.

You're Zhang Xutuo, right?

How dare you call General by his name?

I'm Zhang Xutuo.

Who are you?

A fortune teller.

Don't waste words. Let's go!

Stop.

He comes to kill me.

You guys go.

General, if you want to die,
we'll die with you.

General Zhang,

I'll give you two ways out.

You can either be killed by me

or go back to save your men.

The second is also a death,

but you can die a good death.

You...

Who on earth are you?

I told you, a fortune teller.

[Chang'an]

Your Majesty,

Regional Military Governor General Zhang

was ambushed by the Wagang Village rebels.

Hundreds of soldiers were killed.

Zhang Xutuo? I see.

To rescue his men,

General Zhang fought his way
back into the siege

until he died of exhaustion.

Your Majesty,

I suggest

[Duke, Yuwen Shu]
that we order Taiyuan's Governor Li Yuan

to immediately suppress the rebels

to prevent further loss.

Your Majesty,

it's a lucky sign.
A disaster is a blessing.

[Emperor Yang of Sui, Yang Guang]

Send an order calling Li Yuan
back to Chang'an.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Wait.

Have you found my sword?

Not yet.

You can go.

Right, hurry up with the relocation

of the capital.

(To me,)

(it made no difference
whether I kill a king,)

(a general, or a peddler.)

(What bothered me)

(was killing someone like Zhang Xutuo.)

(Fate gave them hope and desires)

(but arranged the opposite tribulations.)

(And I became)

(an accomplice.)

(I can't tell if I couldn't bear to part
with A Light's wine)

(or if the brewery girl's smile
can solve my worries.)

(That night I was tempted to stay,)

(to let go of killing and live in peace.)

Here we go.

Don't weigh it. It's ten mace less.

You haven't paid for the water
you fed the horse last time.

The vendor sold me ten liters of water
for 15 mace.

One bucket of water is exactly ten liters.

My horse has a small appetite,

so it drank five mace at most.

The remaining ten mace are yours.

I also have my rules.

Give me a discount.

Fill up my wine for me.

You don't look like one
from the Gobi Desert.

My father's from the Gobi Desert.

My mother's Han Chinese.

What do you think I am?

You are what and where you grew up.

Born on the border, raised in Jianghu,

now fallen to the ends of the world.

Then we share the same hometown.

After tonight, we'll be closed.

I'd like to ask you for one last favor.

Just say it.

Bingchen year, the tenth day
of the tenth month, You hour.

Please find someone else.

It's not good to see blood
on New Year's Eve.

It's not a deal.

I just want you to weigh

how long this person can live.

Will be killed within ten days.

Thanks.

(I knew she was asking
about her birth date,)

(but I was overwhelmed for a moment.)

(Could it be that my thoughts
of being close to her)

[A Light]
(would also bring her bad luck?)

Enjoy the wine and meat tonight.

(Heaven's curse is too ruthless.)

We've known each other.
Let me give you a song.

My father gave it to my mother
before he died.

With You

♪Unwilling to hang high alone,
shining in the night sky♪

♪Only wishing to steadfastly illuminate
by your side♪

♪Allow me to be the melody in your life♪

♪Allow me to be the song you sing♪

♪With you, the years are filled
with bliss♪

♪With you, time fades into nothingness♪

♪With you, my soul tremors
with excitement♪

♪Sun, moon and stars bloom for us♪

(That night, I was tortured by guilt,)

(tossing and turning.)

(Still, I didn't know what to do.)

[The Governor's Residence]

Someone!

Catch the Assassin.

Catch the Assassin.

This way.

Quick. Go.

The Dragon Abyss...

Catch her.

Marshal.

Marshal.

Father.

[Taiyuan's Governor, Li Yuan]
Taoist Li's divination is brilliant.

I'm grateful for your help.

I'm flattered.

The Emperor wants to abandon Chang'an?

Yes,

I heard the Emperor ordered
to build the Danyang Palace.

He wants to move the palace to Danyang.

The Central Plain is in chaos.

[Li Shimin]

It's a big chaos.

[Li Chunfeng]

The divination signs indicate
there'll be war in the north.

The Emperor may have summoned your father
to fight in the North.

Thank you for your advice.

Remember, be careful on this trip.

Your Li family has a big job to do.

Don't let anything go wrong.

What's the big job?

It's moving.

Wait.

This sword doesn't look like a weapon
from the Central Plain.

Who are you?

Ashina Huanyin.

Blue Turk.

If I'm not mistaken,

you've come to avenge the death
of your family.

I've fought lots of battles over the years

and gotten a lot of blood on my sword.

Life and death for a soldier
are unpredictable.

We merely serve different masters.

I'm sorry I can't repay
each life sacrificed.

If you can't kill me tonight,

you'll have to accept your fate.

Why you?

My father was just unwilling to submit
to you,

but your men slaughtered my whole tribe.

I've searched for you for three years

and thought of hundreds of ways
to kill you.

Blame it on following the wrong master.

(At that moment,)

(I envied her for being able
to clear her hatred with a sword.)

(I was even more glad I did something.)

(I believed that since I can help her
to kill her enemy,)

(I can definitely rewrite her fate, too.)

You two, please stay.

Where's my father?

Father.

Catch them for me,

dead or alive.

It's Tiangang Power.

Run.

Let's run together.

None of us can run if you stay.

Let meet outside the city.
The horse neigh will be our signal.

Grab her. Don't worry about me.

Let her go.

Run.

You're one of the Yuan family.

Your uncle's Yuan Shoucheng.

How do you know?

In the world, only your Yuan family knows
Tiangang Power.

Don't panic. It's one of us.

His uncle and my master
were close friends.

Celestial Master Zhiyuan is your master?

Exactly.

Your father's still alive.

(I knew that I shouldn't meddle
in the affairs of the court,)

(but for the sake of uncovering the truth
behind the massacre of the Yuan family,)

(I decided to stay.)

Can you do it or not?

His life is saved.

Whether he wakes up or not depends
on his fate.

What ''depends on his fate''?

Can you cure my father or not?

Tell me why the Yuan family
was exterminated.

Because of that sword.

What do you mean? Speak clearly.

Come with me.

Do you know these paintings?

A sword, plums, shooting stars.

(Those paintings reminded me of a dream
I had when I was young and seriously ill.)

(A dream I woke up wanting)

(to share but had no one to tell.)

(I thought that was the afterlife world)

(until I fell into a wilderness.)

(I looked around, boundless and empty,)

(nothing but the sky and earth.)

(I wandered aimlessly,)

(without thinking about where to go,)

(until a strange plum tree appeared
in front of me.)

(Then I stopped.)

(The plums on the tree were always 21
in number.)

(You can never eat it up or pick it all.)

(What was even stranger,)

(a sword grew on its branches.)

(That night, I counted shooting stars
in my dream)

(and fell asleep again.)

Who drew this?

You.

(You often woke up abruptly
during your fainting spells)

(and bit your finger to draw
what you were dreaming of.)

Master, look.

What I'm talking about,
and what you dreamed about,

is this sword called Dragon Abyss.

It's said that profound mysteries lie
within it,

which can help the king pacify the world.

(In these years,)

(famine and wars persist.)

(More and more people are coveting
the sword.)

(Besides the court, lords, and generals,)

(all the forces of Jianghu have joined
in the search for the sword.)

(Fearing the sword might fall
into the wrong hands,)

(the owner brought it
to the Secret Legion Valley,)

(entrusting your uncle to guard it.)

Then why is the sword in your hands again?

After you fell ill and fainted,

(your uncle asked me and Celestial Master
to come and read your fate.)

He may not be sick,

but this solar eclipse
has altered his fate.

Which of the paintings did he paint first?

It's the sword.

Then all the paintings should be related
to the sword.

And the second one?

21 plums.

Plums are born on the earth
and grow in the wood.

Among the five elements, earth is Wu,
and wood is Yin.

It means the true Son of the Heavenly King

will appear in the Wuyin year,

ten years from now.

As for these shooting stars...

If we add the Harm Star here,

it just makes up the 36 Tiangang Stars.

The Harm Star should be your nephew.

The other 35 falling stars

perhaps signal...

(Fearing a great calamity would descend,)

(your uncle entrusted you
and the Dragon Abyss to us.)

(Not long after that,)

(the Secret Legion Valley really suffered
an untoward incident.)

(By the time my master and I arrived,
everything was too late.)

(From the bodies of your senior fellows,)

(they had been struck by an evil sorcery.)

(My master deduced)

it was by the secretive Disha Sect.

Who exactly is the Disha Sect?

I'm not sure.

After the battle with your Yuan family,
they disappeared.

On the same night, you also disappeared.

For the past 15 years, my master and I
have been looking for you.

In my dream, I went to a cave.

I woke up lying on a rock.

A rock? What rock?

Like a stone bed.

(In my dream, it kept calling me,)

(bringing me back to reality.)

(Can you still find it?)

(What for?)

(I'd rather not wake up from the dream
in the first place.)

Master said there is a Star Mound

where the dust of the Blessing Star fell.

It's said it can help extraordinary ones
to pass through tribulations.

We can save your father.

Extraordinary ones?

What's my father's fate?

The heavenly stems are the same.

He's the true Son of the Heavenly King

who will end this chaos
and change the world.

It's true.

To be frank,

your father is the true master
of the Dragon Abyss.

The 21 plums in Yuan's painting mean

there will be 21 emperors
in your Li family.

Whoever achieves the imperial throne needs

to follow the mandate of heaven
and act as a king.

He also needs to endure tribulations.

I think Yuan is your father's tribulation.

The people who tied the knot
should untie the knot.

Find the Star Mound,
and he'll overcome the tribulation.

Wait.

I'm going to find Disha Sect.

How about Li Yuan?

Your uncle used his life to save you
and the Dragon Abyss,

hoping that you'd guard the sword's master

instead of being counterproductive.

I only wanted to save the woman,

not to kill Li Yuan.

You knew the woman's life was over,

but you changed her fate
and violated heaven's law.

Some things should not be left to fate.

Fate can't be changed.

How can you know if you don't try?

(That night, I finally unraveled the truth
about the Yuan family's massacre,)

(but I also missed the meeting
with Huanyin.)

(I grabbed her life from heaven,)

(so perhaps forgetting about her
was the best way to go.)

(Unfortunately, fate has no maybe.)

[Xiaoguo Army]

My lord, everything is as you expected.

Your father advised His Majesty

that Jiangdong is a small area
in a harsh environment.

Internally, people need to feed the court.

Externally, they need
to supply the armies.

If people can't afford it,

sooner or later, they'll rebel.

Good thinking.

Does he think the Emperor will be swayed?

No, he won't.

You go and tell His Majesty

[Supervisor of Indequity, Yuwen Zhiji]
that if His Majesty can cross the river

to favor the people,

it will be an act like that of Dayu.

Hearing that, His Majesty

will definitely move the capital
to Danyang

despite Father's opposition.

Don't you think it's a good idea?

General,

there's a woman outside the tent.

Let her in.

Yes.

What a bummer.

Jianghu affairs should be handled
by Jianghu people.

Welcome, Master.

What are you doing here?

I want to make a deal with you.

You kill ten people for me.

I'll help you find your enemy.

Our deal is over. What else to talk about?

I know where the thing
you're looking for is.

What is it?

The Dragon Abyss.

What's the deal?

Help me save someone.

Master, the house has no one inside.

Find them.

Yes.

Miss, is your sword stained
with Li Yuan's blood?

They've gone to Mount Qi.

[Mount Qi]

(At that time,)

(I didn't believe in Li Chunfeng's words
about the true Son of the Heavenly King.)

(I also didn't know if that rock)

(could really save Li Yuan.)

(But I still agreed to take them
to the Star Mound.)

(After all, from the moment
my uncle entrusted)

(me and the Dragon Abyss to them
on his deathbed,)

(they've been a favor to me.)

Here it is.

If that rock really brought my father
back to life,

but that female bandit came
to kill my father again,

Yuan, who are you helping?

I'm asking you a question.

Yuan has his own considerations.

What considerations?

She killed my father.

You call that ''considerations''?

That's the Star Mound.

It's got to be.

And then what?

We'll leave it to fate.

Is there something we're missing?

Wait a little longer.

If we keep waiting,
my father will be dead.

I'd better take him to a doctor.

So the Star Mound truly exists.

You want to use it to save Li Yuan.

Is that so?

You helped me kill him. Now, you want
to save him, why?

The man you wanted me to save

is trying to save your enemy.

Interesting.

One life for another.

Li Yuan has already died.

Your revenge has been avenged.

Change the deal. No need to save the man.

Tear Li Yuan to pieces for me.

What are you saying?

Why don't I also kill his son for you?

So that he won't come back for revenge.

Don't do anything rash.

You're dead.

Hey, up there, I'm warning you,

my father is Taiyuan's governor, Li...

What's this?

What's going on?

Who on earth are you?

Yuwen Zhiji from Disha Sect.

[The Noble Star, the Chief Star]

(Hatred, sadness, and self-blame)

(were replaced by anger and excitement
at that moment.)

(I felt the unfair heaven's curse broke
without a fight)

(Even my enemy was handed to me.)

(My fists and body burned)

(like 15 years of suffering had been
for that moment.)

Tiangang Power.

Unexpectedly, the Yuan family
still has a descendant.

It's a perfect opportunity
to eradicate you all.

Stop. Not saving him is not asking you
to kill him.

Shut up.

Any more nonsense, and I'll also kill you.

Go.

It's useless to fight.

They can't be killed.

Hold them off. Let me break it.

You want to die?

Protect your father. I'll block them.

Watch out.

What's going on?

Take the sword.

Are you alright?

The sword is gone.

I'll go find it.

Don't go.

It's too late.

Father.

Father.

Father.

Where am I?

I'm glad you're awake.

When the moon follows the stars,

it brings wind and rain.

So the Star Mound needs
to meet the moonlight.

(I became a killer to avenge my fate.)

(As a killer, I met Huanyin.)

(To save her, I killed Li Yuan.)

(To save Li Yuan, I brought Huanyin
into death again.)

We've known each other,
Let me give you a song.

(Li Yuan is alive,)

(but the sword has again fallen
into his enemy's hands.)

(I thought I was fighting
a back-and-forth battle with fate,)

(but I didn't realize)

(I had fallen into its trap initially.)

(One careless move would lead
to a total loss.)

I've been searching

for this sword for His Majesty
for ten years.

If the sword's legend is true,

there's still hope for the Sui's kingdom.

You don't learn anything all day.

Tell that beast to shut up.

Remember,

as long as the Sui's kingdom lasts,

so will our Yuwen family.

You found this sword.

I'll report it to His Majesty.

The credit is yours.

His Majesty will never forget it.

That way,

I can die with peace of mind.

Wouldn't it be more peace of mind
if not giving to him?

His Yang family can replace the Zhou
and name himself Emperor.

Why can't our Yuwen family take
the kingdom?

What nonsense are you talking about?

Even if his Yang family gets the sword,
it's still a waste.

Zhang Xutuo died a few days ago,

so did Li Yuan.

All those loyal and great officials
who could have helped his Yang family turn

the tide are dead one by one.

It's really heaven's plan
to destroy the Sui.

What are you saying?

Li Yuan is dead?

He was assassinated two days ago.

Don't you and His Majesty know?

That's nonsense. Where did you hear that?

I didn't hear it.

I sent someone to kill him.

You killed him?

Are you crazy?

Don't you want to live?

Father,

there are tens of thousands of rebels
against the Sui.

We should take this chance
to do something big.

That's what kings do.

If these words reach the court,

it'll be a crime of clan extermination.

Father,

we all die sooner or later.

Why don't we become emperor for once?

You do it first. I'll do it
after you're dead.

Shut up.

If you say one more word,

I'll kill you today.

Since you're determined
to give the sword to Yang,

I'll see you off.

What did you say?

You've lost your mind.

Lost your mind.

You... you've lost your mind.

[Liuhuai Hall]

Your Majesty,

do we really have to move to Danyang?

There are many people out there

who want to harm me.

My head is so good.

I wonder who will chop it off.

Your Majesty, you are drunk.

I didn't summon you.

What are you doing here?

Your Majesty,

I've been observing the celestial bodies.

I noticed your Emperor Star

has cooled.

How dare you!

Someone!

Take this traitor down.

Wait a minute.

I heard that His Majesty wants
to abandon the ancestral temple

and move the capital to the south.

Even the loyal Xiaoguo Army refuses
to agree.

I can't believe Your Majesty killed
my father

to get rid of opponents.

Nonsense! When did I ever kill
your father?

My father searched

for this Dragon Abyss for you
for ten years.

Just because he opposed the relocation,

you sent someone to kill him.

How dare you slander me?

I've treated the Yuwen family like my own,

but I never thought you'd be the one
to harm me.

The Son of the Heavenly King has his way
of dying.

A subject cannot lay a finger
on the Son of the Heavenly King.

I've heard Your Majesty has
quite a lot of poisonous wine.

I've fetched a pot for you.

Please taste it for yourself.

I'll await Your Majesty's ascension
to heaven outside the hall,

hoping for Your Majesty's fulfillment.

His Majesty has returned to heaven.

(Uncle, you know I'll bring bad luck.)

(Why did you take me in?)

(Everyone is born to die.)

(Why do we still try to live?)

Fate is like a puzzle.

It will eventually have an answer.

However, there are also very few people
like you

with an extraordinary fate.

Since birth, the answer has been destined,

but it takes a lot of tribulations
to realize its true meaning.

Once you realize it,

(you can break the cocoon.)

(Remember,)

(don't get trapped by the answer.)

I heard you saved me.

It's not much of a save.

With the mandate of heaven upon you,
you're not meant to die.

Do you really believe
I'm the Son of the Heavenly King?

Depends on whether you believe or not.

I don't know.

All I know is that Yuwen Zhiji is a rebel.

The world shouldn't be his.

How do you plan

to get your sword back?

(From that day on,)

(Li Yuan and his son raised the flag
of crusade.)

(Heroes from all walks of life responded
to the call.)

(I didn't know if I've grasped
the true meaning of fate,)

(but their pursuit of justice)

(had also stopped me from dwelling
on the answer.)

(If I'm meant to bring bad luck,)

(let me bring bad luck to the wicked.)

Marshal,

have a good rest.

Father, the Chang'an Garrison
has refused our terms.

They said Chancellor Yuwen had crowned
royal nephew Yang Hao as the emperor

and changed the era name to Tianshou.

With the Sui still standing,
why speak of restoring order?

They're controlling the politics
using the Emperor.

Taoist Li,

can you tell me another fortune
for my 200,000 volunteer soldiers?

Make or break.

The divination signs indicate
that you'll win this battle.

All that's missing is an chance.

''Drowsy, charming eyes,
wanting to open yet close again''.

Your eyes are nice.
Let me paint them for you.

Drink.

Good.

Report!

Li Yuan's army has launched
another attack.

Let them attack.

We party night after night,

but that's enough food for a year.

Another ten days and half a month,

they'll have nothing to eat
but human flesh.

Give the order to set
100 more fireworks off.

Yes.

To the Chancellor.

Oh no.

To His Majesty.

Don't...

Who is it?

Stop!

Come on.

Where the hell are you from?

I didn't bother to kill you last time.

To my surprise, you've come here
to let me kill you.

This is a personal grudge.

If you don't want to die,
run for your lives!

We're sworn to defend Chancellor
to the death.

Then I'll give you your wish.

That's more like you.

Your fist is stronger than your uncle's.

Why did you surrender?

Yuan.

Yuan.

You awake?

Why are you...

Why are you in my dream?

It's you in my dream.

Your dreams are strange,

as strange as you are.

How am I strange?

You've made such a mess,

but you still have the heart to dream.

I've avenged you.

Isn't Li Yuan still alive?

I mean Yuwen Zhiji.

I killed him.

Isn't he your enemy?

It doesn't matter.

I'm dead anyway.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Why did you save me?

You saved me once. I'll return the favor.

Didn't you tell me I'd die
due to a tribulation?

You're my tribulation.

I took your life back.

Live well. See you again.

Here we go.

Where am I?

The Imperial Palace.

You're finally awake.

How long have I been asleep?

Three days.

Thanks to you two,

the situation has turned around.

Now that the Tang has just been built,

a long battle is ahead.

Would you two like to stay and work

with my family for a big cause?

I've gotten my revenge.
I have other plans.

Well, to each their own.

If you're tired of wandering around
in the future,

we'll always have a place for you
in our Li Kingdom.

Thanks.

The ''Yuan'' in my name means ''Abyss'',
as in the sword's name,

but I've always thought the word "Abyss"
is filled with too many desires.

If my family can change the world,

it won't be through desires

but faith.

Taoist Li, can you give it a new name?

How about ''Spring''?

It signifies renewal and fresh starts.
Things will go well, like spring flowing.

Okay, let's call it ''Dragon Spring''.

Anything else?

We're friends in life and death.

I'm here to see you off.

What's your plan for the future?

Go back to the Secret Legion Valley
and revive Tiangang.

Your fate with the Li family
is not yet over.

Sooner or later, we'll be
on the same path.

If Li Yuan can fulfill a great dynasty,

maybe.

We'll see.

See you later.

[The Secret Legion Valley]

(My kid, this is your home from now on.)

(Your senior fellows will
be your big brothers.)

(What's your name?)

(My parents didn't give me a name.)

(No name?)

(Well, we'll call you Yuan from now on.)

(The Secret Legion Valley returned
to its old self,)

(but I was alone.)

(To remember my uncle and fellows,)

(I renamed myself Yuan Tiangang)

(and practiced the mission taught
by my uncle day after day.)

(Many years later,)

(I still often dreamed of Huanyin.)

(At the wine shop in Mantou Town,
I listened to her sing)

(and drank with her.)

(In my dreams, she was always
so young and pure,)

(leaving me growing old over the years.)

(Before I realized it, I had already gone
through 21 emperors.)

[200 Years Later]

Commander, here's someone from the court.

I see.

(Huang Chao and his rebels are not far
from Chang'an.)

Your Majesty.

[Emperor Xizong of Tang, Li Xuan]
Huang Chao himself is too weak

to be a threat,

but his general Zhu Wen is too scheming.

He won't be content
to take others' orders,

so the Zhu family is the problem.

You've got your answer,

and so do I.

Rise.

Yes.

Three hundred years ago,

you found the master for this sword,

which gave birth to my Li's Tang Kingdom.

Now,

I am returning the Dragon Spring to you.

I want you to find the next master for it,

teach him,

guard him,

make him worthy of wielding this sword.

As you wish.

(In Li Chunfeng's words,)

(this is fate.)

(Cycles repeat.)

(Everything changes in an instant.)

♪I truly believed I could close my eyes
and not speak♪

♪Having long departed
worldly dirt and fate♪

♪I genuinely thought I transcended all♪

♪Turning worries into fading plumes♪

♪As always loneliness kept me company♪

♪While the myriad disturbances
don't matter♪

♪The moment you walked past me♪

♪I couldn't put aside the yearning♪

♪The moment I glimpsed your lovely smile♪

♪I couldn't forget that instant together♪
