Over here

It's okay, steady now

Don't worry

Miss May, you can take the bed tonight

That's okay

I'll be fine over here. It's nice

It's alright, come

I promised He Ying I'd take good care of you

When I have things on my mind and can't sleep, I eat this

Oh...you try some

Thank you

It's delicious.

What's it called?

Um...the future

The future?

The future is so sweet. It's delicious

The future is sweet

And one day, the future will be finished

With all in disarray, the Ming dynasty could not last

To prevent my village from being destroyed,

I'd have to follow Yuan Chengzhi's example

and take my people out west as soon as possible

Ever thought you might sit there one day?

Impossible. That's the Emperor's throne

We were able to go 400 years back into the past

How couldn't it be possible?

As long as we make good use of the orb,

the world will belong to us

Everything in the universe, for all time,

is soon in our grasp

But He Ying still has the Linga

that activates it

He'll be back for

sure to save his village

I grew up here

I wouldn't want to leave, and at some point

I'd need to settle down

Good

Jade, she's been hoping for that

Here

I drink to you, brother-in-law

Da Zhi,

there's something...

I want to discuss with you, the village leader

If I can call you brother

then say what you have to say

Here goes

I want to take everyone in the village

And move them. To someplace far away!

You're drunk

Listen to me

You're really drunk!

Our whole village is soon going to be executed!

Executed? We haven't done anything wrong

why would we be executed?

You're drunk. Really drunk

I'm not listening to your nonsense

I'm leaving.

You go sleep it off. I'm going there to keep watch

Da Zhi!

- Yeah, yeah, stop calling my name - Hey!

Listen to me!

How does it feel?

It's really damp

Hey, not so loud

Could you...

tell me how you met He Ying?

Yeah

I used to work at a bar

Wait, no. I worked at a winery

Bad people would always come

Luckily, He Ying came to the rescue

Yeah,

that's just the kind of heroic thing that only our He Ying is able to do

Then how is it you came back here together?

You're not thinking of stealing him, are you?

Quiet, you.

Our Jade is so gentle and true,

He Ying, would never fall for someone else

Tao Yuan celebrates

Chuan and Hua Niu!

Bow to Heaven and Earth!

Now to your parents!

Ladies and gentlemen!

On this happy day for Hua Niu and me,

I stand here and drink to you all!

Chuan!

Sao?

Hey, Sao came back!

Sao is back, too?

You've finally come back!

When I heard you were getting married, I took leave

Didn't expect to be late and miss the formalities

So it didn't count. Do it over!

Go on, do it over!

Ah, it's great you're back.

Let's drink!

He Ying!

Brother He!

What a guy.

How did you get here before me?

Do you like Hong Kong?

- Gong gong? - No

No, it's a foreign tongue. From the west.

It means I really missed you

I missed you, too, brother!

Drink up, come on!

Sao...

Not an easy thing

rushing back from so far off

You know it, brother

Actually, I came back

together with Minister Du

Minister Du?

He expressly wanted me to invite you

to a feast tomorrow night at his home

And Brother Yuanlong will be there

Inviting me to the Minister's house?

Hear this well!

If the Du clan isn't killed off,

I won't be wrongly accused,

and Tao Yuan village can avoid a disaster

There is a cause for everything

History will change tomorrow night

Brother, General Hojo has arrived

Long time no see, General Yuanlong!

Ever since Tokugawa eliminated the Hideyoshi,

the era of warring states was essentially over

My clan was once grand,

but we've had to lay low,

waiting for an opportunity

since the Edo bakufu has General Hojo,

it's no wonder your nation's power keeps growing

I sailed here this time

in hope of receiving support from the Ming court,

especially that of your strength, General.

If you could extend a helping hand,

then the Hojo clan has hope for a revival

Don't you worry. So long as you're my ally,

I will help you banish the Tokugawa

and help you rebuild

If so, then I thank you

Brother He!

Sao!

Hey, how does my hair look?

Looks good!

Like yours!

Looks damn good!

Did something on your mind

bring you up here?

Sao

help me protect the village, okay?

Protect it? Why?

To guard against bandits

sure! When?

Tonight

I'm counting on you

This is who I was telling you about - General Hojo

This is Eunuch Wei. In the Ming court,

all are below him, except for one

Having access to the great general's forces

is a great honor for this humble servant

"So many stars, are thoughts that stir my sleep"

"Like the moon, shining into night"

"The past drifts away, yet returns, so vague"

"Like my visions of you"

"Just a goodbye, yet so hard to say"

"My heart left stranded"

"A forever farewell, adistance so vast"

"Just one, last look at you"

"If time could slow down,"

"Then I could think of you again."

"Before that last day arrives,"

"Let me rewrite its end."

"Just one more moment,"

"And we can have forever."

It is an honor, Excellency

General He, forgive my not coming to meet you

Please

Our plan of grand conquest begins tonight!

Luckily! Catch 2 for dinner

You are on a mission for the Hojo clan

Will you give it all you've got?

Fear not, General!

Thanks to the Emperor's good graces,

I am home to see family

Your sworn brother Yuanlong and my daughter have come, too

Professionally and personally,

inviting master He Ying to attend is a must

Brother He Ying!

Little brother. Long time no see

Indeed. I have yet to wish the newlyweds well

Congratulations, madame

Most gracious, General He

The new song you just learned -

could you play it for my little brother

to liven up tonight's celebration?

I will do my best

What,

don't you like my hairstyle?

I'm the one who gave it to you

When you reach Tao Yuan village,

kill everything and spare nothing!

Kill!

Kill! Kill!

Move out!

Niehu?

Together with the Jap raiders?

Minister...

General He, Eunuch Wei has ordered

that you hand the key activating the orb

over to General Yuanlong to take to the capitol

for presentation to the Emperor

I can't

I cannot give it to him

Minister

should it be wrongly used,

it would cause total

chaos and harm everyone

What's more, the Emperor is young

Please think this matter over

Minister Du, did you know

This son-in-law of yours,

has long known this secret

He Ying, disobeying imperial edicts

is a crime punishable by clan execution

You shut up

Minister

I came tonight hoping that

we might go to the palace

and see the Emperor

Do you realize that the Ming dynasty

will be destroyed in ten years?

If the Emperor stays in the dark,

he will die of illness in two more years!

Insolence!

More ridiculous with every word!

Since when do you decide when the Ming will perish!

And you dare curse the Emperor's life!

Soldiers!

Sir!

Niehu! You'd dare collude with the Japanese!

Don't be so hasty, Sao. Let me explain

You know I hate Jap raiders more than anything!

You could befriend the enemy

and take them as your own?

Your brothers are already allied with me

Kill him, Niehu

I know you're up to no good!

Where did that group of raiders go?

They went to level Tao Yuan village

Jap bastard...

I'm going to kill you!

Execute him!

Sir!

- Dad! - Don't go over there!

Dad!

Very brazen of you, He Ying -

killing Minister Du,

and then even my wife?

We will attest to it

You're the murderer!

So this was all your doing,

all along, dishonoring me, setting me up!

You couldn't even leave your family out of it!

It's just a few lives

But let me tell you

a beautiful life, wealth and rank,

it's all bullshit!

For me

these two were nothing but an interlude

They had to die.

You have two choices

One, your clan dies

Two, give me the Linga

and we work together

And I say, I choose option three -

me walking out

and definitely not giving you the Linga!

He Ying!

Cooperating with me is your best choice!

There is no better way!

Stop!

We grew up together!

When I make it big, so will you!

Bring it on!

Stop it!

I'm going to kill you tonight!

I'm not going to hold back!

So you come back from the future and learned nothing?

I learned only one thing from the future

And that's...

He Ying

if you don't work with me,

you won't be able to change history

I found the Linga

The big things we're working on

why won't you help me?

Why!

Instead, you push me?

Why must you push me!

You push and push!

Niehu

settle this

Did you guys have fun today?

Yeah, but I'm a little tired

You think the drill instructor will be mad

because we slipped out?

Who cares about him

I'm hungry

Why don't we catch a rabbit later?

Yeah, good idea

Niehu

in the next life,

I'm not going to catch rabbits with you

Ever thought you might sit up there one day?

I never thought that when Chinese kill each other,

they'd more ruthless than us Japanese

Ma!

Jade!

Ma!

He Ying

you're back

As long as you're back safe

He Ying...

A man of character must do four things

Only then can my conscience be clear

We must first protect our land,

our households,

our brothers,

and our women and children

May!

May, I'm back!

May!

Boss

You're back

Hojo's men wiped out the village

The Linga you wanted...we found it

He Ying

you didn't think I'd do it, eh?

What?

I killed Sao

He saw me with Hojo

I had to kill him

Good

You're in the big leagues now

I'll get back the Linga,

then return and save you again

May

if the orb was right before us,

and could take us take us once more to the future,

Where would you most want to go?

I don't know

You?

What I most want to know is -

where I came from...

and where I must go

You're so philosophical

Come out, Yuanlong. I'm here

You're worthy of your title, General He

The Forbidden City

No one is permitted in

If you hadn't arranged it

how could I have entered so easily?

Time to jump in

I want you to start the orb with me

Eunuch Wei

the Tao Yuan people

have always been submissive subjects of the empire

We were content, knew our place

and lived in peace!

Why did you kill them all?

Why?

You deceived the Emperor

You deserved extermination!

And I carried it out

And your brother, Sao -

also died by my sword

All that I promised General Yuanlong, I delivered

He Ying!

Stop wasting time!

Work nicely with us

and start the orb!

You...

so long as I'm here,

I won't let your plan succeed!

Fine, Yuanlong

I promise to start the orb!

But on one condition

send May back to the future,

or you won't get the incantation!

He Ying, I don't want to leave!

Just go, May!

This is not your world!

He Ying, I want to be with you!

Such drivel

May!

You want to save her

then start the chant!

He Ying,

do you still remember?

What I want to know most is

where I came from,

where I must go,

and where I truly belong

This is where you belong

Stay here

But I can't stay with you

start the orb!

Dammit!

I'll come back to save you, May

The chant!

The chant! Do it!

Yuanlong!

I told you

I won't let your plan succeed!

You can't escape

Then you're going down with me!

Whose is this?

What the...

Who asked for water?

Why is this happening?

You're not getting out of this

Come back, He Ying!

He Ying!

Why are we still in the Ming?

Impossible!

Boss!

Shut it!

Yuanlong

this catastrophe is your doing

Arrest him!

Soldiers! Arrest him!

Sir!

We are allies!

You allied with Japanese raiders with malicious intent

You defiled the palace. I hereby strip you of your title!

Let it go, boss!

Now the elite guard has me to lead them!

since we were kids, you called the shots

Unless you die, how can I advance!

Go back to the future with me

The future?

The future is dangerous!

The Emperor approaches!

Careful, Your Majesty

What happened here?

I bow before the Emperor

Eunuch Wu, protect the Emperor

What are you doing, General Yuan?

Such audacity!

Will you not kneel before the Emperor?

You kneel!

This is the future! No one kneels!

Insolence!

Look out, Your Majesty!

Where am I?

What is this place?

He Ying!

You've returned once more, General He

Life becomes Death

Death becomes Life

In three cycles

This is your last chance

I'd already mastered the orb's secret

Why then can't I change history...change fate?

Such is life

When you chose to go right,

what awaited you at the end

was naturally a predetermined conclusion

And should I choose to go left?

Would the outcome be different?

I cannot answer you

as the choice is yours to make

You can only find out by walking the paths yourself

If life's outcomes could be foreseen,

then what is the joy in life?

Perhaps...

activating the orb was a mistake

Possessing the ability to travel through time

may not bring the happiness and results one wants, after all

Much less could it bring peace

Power corrupts

It stokes greed and ambition

Its consequences can't be controlled

Man cannot even control his own fate

How can he alter history?

And so the space-time orb must be destroyed

Traveling between past and future

is a dream that

should not be realized

Yet I

have become the universe's sole time traveler
