In ancient times,

the ancient Immortal Clan lived in the Xuanhuang Wasteland

They were born with great powers.

Among them, Hei Long, the black dragon,

was born with the force of chaos.

He had a violent nature

and was the most powerful.

Gen Gu, master of the Immortal Clan,

feared Hei Long's power

and wanted to kill Hei Long.

They fought for a hundred days

before

the battle ended with the death

of Gen Gu and the ancient Immortal Clan.

In this battle,

Hei Long's lover, Bai Long, was sacrificed.

Hei Long was furious and heartbroken.

to rule the three realms.

Hei Long crowned himself the King of Immortals

and made the Xuanhuang Wasteland the Immortal Realm.

Henceforth, the new Immortal Clan was created.

For the next 100,000 years,

the Demon Clan was sealed underground by Hei Long,

where they experienced eternal night

and never saw the sun again.

For generations,

they experienced the pain of Petrification Sickness.

Some Immortal Clan members were dissatisfied with Hei Long

and left the Immortal Realm.

They created the Shenyin Clan

and survive in the mortal realm.

The Sea Spirit Clan was enslaved by the Immortal Clan

and became the Immortal Realm's

eternal gatekeepers of the sea.

The human race was ordered by Hei Long

to mine for bloodstone for generations to worship the Immortal Clan.

They were tortured and humiliated,

and their days had no hope.

The three realms

suffered tremendously under Hei Long's

control

and torture.

[Burning Flames]

[Episode 1]

[Ten million years later]

[Xuanchai]

[Xindu]

The capital of Xin State

is a good place.

[Xin King]

Father,

is the number of bloodstones wrong?

The amount is right.

But as the bloodstone demand

increases,

[Wu Geng]

the production of grains

has been decreasing.

The livelihood of the people is seriously affected.

If this continues,

Xin State will be in danger.

Why should we listen to the Immortal Clan?

They only ever

bully and oppress us.

We...

Here comes the envoy.

Greetings.

The bloodstones are ready.

Please have a look.

The bloodstones this year are of great quality.

The King of Immortals will be very satisfied.

Xin King.

The King of Immortals has a new decree.

Kneel and accept the decree.

Since the King of Immortals has a decree,

please read it out

for us.

The King of Immortals demands that

Xin King must dispatch

ten times more farmers

to the Northern Mountain Mine to collect bloodstones.

One thousand boxes must be offered per month.

No delay is allowed.

Ten times?

We have already

sent many people

to mine bloodstones.

We don't have the manpower anymore.

Envoy, you may not know.

Now, all the workers in Xin State

have all gone to the mine.

Within the borders, 9 out of 10 houses are empty.

The fields are barren

and no one is farming.

So, envoy,

please tell me.

Where will I

find ten times more people

to serve the immortals?

The Xin State may not have any, but the Bai State does.

Xin State could invade Bai State immediately

and capture the people of the Bai State as slaves.

I understand now.

I understand what the immortals want.

You want bloodshed

in the mortal world, right?

For 100,000 years,

the Immortal Clan has ruled the mortal realm.

Without the protection of the Immortal Clan,

how can you have smooth

and long-term peace?

Nonsense.

Don't be rude.

Xin King.

Hurry and take the decree.

If you fail,

everyone in Xin State

will be slaughtered.

Father.

The great Immortal Clan!

The immortals we respect so much!

The peaceful days

you gave us...

The human race

has had enough.

You have a decree.

The human race has one too!

I'll read it to you now.

The days of the Immortal Clan bullying the human race

are over!

You...

Go back and tell Hei Long.

We won't be bullied by you anymore.

Please think twice, Your Majesty.

If you offend the Immortal Clan.

The consequences will be unimaginable. I’ve made up my mind.

Let the immortals come after me!

Your Majesty!

Xin King.

How dare you shoot the Immortal Beast?

The anger of the Immortal Clan

will wipe out the whole Xin State.

[Zhui Ri]

[Tai Ji]

[Tian Mei]

Kill!

[Gui Mu]

[Shi Xing]

[Liu Yue]

Take care.

Take care.

Go!

Don't move.

Go.

Go.

Don't move.

General Mo.

How could it be you?

[General An]

You were loyal

to Father.

Why did you try to assassinate him today?

I did it for the Xin State!

He declared war against the Immortal Clan and infuriated the heavenly power.

How can mere humans defeat the immortals?

Now,

we can only use His Majesty's head

to calm the anger of the Immortal Clan.

Ridiculous!

As a subject,

you should be loyal and patriotic.

But you tried to kill His Majesty instead.

Take him away.

Let him go.

Father, he tried to assassinate you.

General Mo.

If we don't get rid of the Immortal Clan,

Xin State will never be at peace.

If you really care about the nation,

you should fight for the people

of Xin State

even if you have to die in battle.

If we want peace in Xin State,

I must kill you first!

Your Majesty,

if you insist on this,

the human race

will be doomed forever.

Humans

can never defeat the Immortal Clan.

Humans can never defeat the Immortal Clan.

Humans can never defeat the Immortal Clan.

Humans can never defeat the Immortal Clan.

[Lingze Palace]

Geng.

Remember.

When stances are different,

even allies may sometimes

become enemies.

Father,

I want to fight the enemies.

No.

Why not?

As the Prince of Xin,

I should contribute to the nation.

That's why I have

a more important task for you.

From tomorrow onward,

Xin capital will open the granary and give out food.

I want you to receive

the refugees entering the city

and settle them in.

But, Father...

Don't give me that.

This is the king's order.

Do you want to disobey it?

I dare not.

I know what you're thinking.

You are my son.

But I want to tell you

that work here at the back

is no easier than killing enemies at the frontline.

Sometimes, it's even more complicated.

Father,

we declared war against the Immortal Clan

and paid such a big price.

Is it really worth it?

Do you know

where Heaven is?

Heaven?

Here.

I heard that

at the peak of the sky,

where the sun rises every day,

there is a domain that humans can't reach.

It's called

the Immortal Realm.

My father

once told me

the human race was born

to provide

for the Immortal Clan.

Is that the case?

Should that be the case?

No.

I believe

destiny should be

in your own hands.

I don't want to accept my fate.

I don't want the human race to accept its fate.

Why should I take the lead and rebel against the immortals?

Because I believe that

one day, the human race

will arrive there.

We will

personally tell the King of Immortals

that the human race

will no longer be their slaves.

We'll control our own destinies.

Yes.

We'll control our own destinies.

They are opening the granary!

Let's enter the city!

Get in!

Let us in.

[Gou]

[Bai Cai]

Snakes! Snakes!

Where?

I've been hungry for days. Snakes!

Why are you clinging to me?

Go get the snakes.

Go.

Stop picking them up.

Gou.

Stop picking them up.

Boss,

we had a hard time

finding these medicinal materials.

How much will you pay us?

They're all dead. They're not worth much.

Four shells.

Four shells?

Even a dead snake

is worth at least ten shells.

The war is critical now.

It's hard to get these supplies.

Exactly. The war is critical now

and there's a lack of medicinal materials.

As citizens of Xin State,

you should be righteous.

How can you make a fortune out of the nation's misfortune?

Four shells.

Are you selling them?

If not, sell them elsewhere.

Off you go.

Fine.

Gou, let's go. We're not selling them.

Boss,

I don't think I need to tell you

how much these supplies normally cost.

Given the current situation,

medicinal materials will only be more expensive.

I am in a hurry to buy grains,

that's why I want to sell them nearby.

How about this? Four shells.

I'll treat it as a friendship discount.

If I find any good materials in the future,

I'll come to you again.

I'm so sincere.

It won't be too much to give me

a meeting gift, right?

Move. Move.

It's fine that you lost some snakes,

but you got trampled like this.

Why didn't you dodge them?

Silly guy.

Does it hurt?

It doesn't hurt anymore?

It doesn't hurt anymore?

Really, really?

It doesn't hurt anymore?

Silly guy.

Take care of yourself.

Alright, it's all fine now.

Let's go buy some grains

before they sell out again.

Let's go.

Let's go.

When will you open the granary?

Don't worry.

Line up.

Listen to me.

Give me a bag.

Stop arguing.

Give me a bag.

Stop arguing.

Give me a bag of grains.

[Four Shells]

Give me a bag of grains.

Four shells.

What do you mean?

Why aren't you selling them?

Four shells.

Exactly.

The grains are right there.

Yes.

Why aren't you selling them?

The price went up again.

8 shells?

How can the price go up so easily?

Yes.

Stop arguing.

The price of grain now is 8 shells a bag.

Sir,

it was just 4 shells just now.

How can the price go up so easily?

That's right.

What are you doing?

Don't think I don't know,

but the imperial court had opened its warehouses to distribute grain,

so the price of grain shouldn't be so expensive.

Exactly.

Let go of me!

Or I'll beat you up!

Don't you dare touch me.

-You... -Gou!

What are you doing?

Will you lower the price?

The price was set by my boss.

It's not up to me.

It hurts!

My hand is about to break.

Forget it, Gou. Let him go.

It has nothing to do with him.

Come and buy some. 8 shells.

You won't get to buy it if you don't buy it now.

You don't have the money. Stay back.

Line up.

Don't push.

One by one.

Thank you for your help, Mr. Tai Bu.

Our shop wouldn't be as popular without you.

You aren't earning the money for nothing.

I understand. We will split 3 to 7.

What should we do, Gou?

We only have 4 shells now.

We can only buy half a bag with 4 shells.

Half a bag is only enough for you.

What about

the four kids at home?

What am I going to do?

Such a shady profiteer!

You're the only one

laughing at this point.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Y-Your Highness.

So this is the prince.

Why does he...

look so much like Gou?

Don't push. Don't grab.

Line up properly.

I'm talking about you.

Your Highness.

I'm here to patrol,

and to see if there are any profiteers here

who hoard and sell at exorbitant prices.

Your Highness,

our grain prices are low.

The people are very satisfied.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, there's something you don't know.

This shop...

The owner of this grain shop

is a good man.

He sells each bag of grain for only 1 shell.

In Xin capital,

there are no other shops

that sell cheaper than this.

Really?

Yes, yes.

Yibei.

Come on.

Line up! Line up! Line up!

So,

I'm going to buy two more bags today.

Sir, give me four bags of grain.

Excuse me.

Come on.

Don't grab. Don't grab!

Gou! Gou!

Everybody, buy more.

A bag of grain only costs 1 shell.

Buy more.

Come on.

Gou, hold it well.

Gou.

Everybody, buy more.

A bag of grain only costs 1 shell.

Gou, let's go.

Let's go.

Don't grab. There's enough for everyone.

Stop, you two! Doggy!

Gou, they're catching up.

Hurry and run!

Stop! Stop!

Help! There's a robbery!

Stop!

Mr. Tai Bu ordered

for you to return the grain.

Why should I return the grain

when I had paid for it with my own money?

A bag of grain costs 8 shells.

Unless

you make up for the remaining money today,

otherwise,

you aren't going to take it away from me.

You're really a two-faced official.

You were the ones who colluded with the profiteers

to raise the price.

Now, you're blaming me instead.

Hand the grain over.

No, I won't.

Hand it over.

No.

No! No!

Beat them up!

No!

Gou!

How dare you steal food!

Beat him to death!

Beat him!

Beat him hard!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Gou.

Are you alright? Your Highness.

What are you doing?

How dare a commoner like you

take on the officials?

They were the ones who wanted to rob us of our grain first, and even hit us.

Is she telling the truth?

Your Highness, please don't listen

to the nonsense of this scoundrel.

Actually, she paid with fake shells just now.

That's why

I wanted to take back the grain

that she had cheated from us.

I didn't expect this scoundrel to hit me.

Your Highness, look at her.

Nonsense!

You're the one who raised the price,

Now? Let’s raise the price.

Didn't you just say

the price was fair?

Since you each have your own say,

go back with me

and make things clear.

Take them back.

Yes.

Let's go.

Go.

You...

Gou.

Gou, take it.

Gou. Gou.

Gou, be good.

You take the grain home first,

okay?

Silly boy, be good.

Whoever gets home first,

gets an extra half a bowl of rice for dinner.

Hurry up. Go!

Go, Gou!

Help!

The evil prince is bullying us!

The evil prince is bullying us!

You still want to escape?

Should I be waiting for you to kill me?

If you are innocent,

what are you afraid of?

If you want to frame us

and give us a charge,

wouldn't that be easy for you?

What innocence

can we claim as commoners?

It's useless to say more.

I will find out

who's right or wrong.

Bah!

As a prince,

you are worse than my Gou.

You only bully the weak.

What kind of prince are you?

Geng.

Come back quickly. Let go of me!

Mother.

You're looking for me so urgently.

What's the matter?

Geng, come.

I have something to tell you.

Geng.

Every word and every sentence

that I'm about to say,

you have to remember deep in your heart.

Okay.

As the Xin Prince,

[Moon Fox]

do you know what kind of responsibility

you have on your shoulders?

Naturally, that would be defending Xin State,

so that the people of Xin

can live better lives,

and make Xin State even stronger.

Then, do you know

how are you going to

protect Xin State?

With my sword,

and with the courage

my father and mother had taught me.

Geng,

you can't defeat the enemy

on your own.

Besides being smart,

and having the courage to move forward,

you must also have

a benevolent heart

that loves the world and its people.

Only when you learn to love your people,

will they fight together

with you,

and protect Xin State.

Mother.

Why are you

suddenly telling me this?

This day...

is finally here.

Geng,

you must remember.

The road ahead

is sure to be treacherous

and fraught with difficulties.

You have to remain aware at all times,

in order to

see the light

in this ever-changing world.

You have a duty to protect the people,

observe their hardships, and empathize with their emotions.

Only in this way,

you can become a real king.

Okay.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Your Majesty,

once you choose this path,

there's no turning back.

Have you really decided?

For the human race,

for the people of Xin,

and also for our children,

I must fight.

All these years,

have you ever regretted it?

Giving up everything for me,

becoming an ordinary person,

and experiencing hardships, bullying,

and loneliness.

You were even misunderstood by your own family.

I have never regretted it.

Spending time with you

has been the happiest time

of my life.

My Lady,

you've experienced all the bitterness of the mortal world.

But this time...

This time, it's different.

This time,

you might have to

go through it with me.

I'm not afraid.

As long as I'm with you,

I'm not afraid

of any difficulties,

or life and death.

But,

I can't stop worrying about Geng.

Don't worry.

Geng has grown up.

It's just that...

We'll have to let him know,

no matter what happens,

we will always be by his side.

Gou.

Gou!

Gou!

Gou!

I have investigated and found out that

the two of them

were indeed hoarding the grain that were

distributed by the King,

and then selling it at a higher price.

Spare my life, Your Highness.

Spare my life, Your Highness.

You two

have got some nerve.

How dare you

secretly disobey the King's orders,

deceive the people,

and rake in ill-gotten gains.

Spare my life, Your Highness.

Spare my life, Your Highness.

These two are absolutely sinful.

Tomorrow,

along with their allies,

they shall be executed in public.

Inform them

to open the warehouse tomorrow morning,

and distribute more rations again.

Yes.

Take them away.

Come on.

Line up.

Thank you, boss.

Boss.

More, give me more.

Give me more.

Some more, boss.

[Grain]

Good job executing them.

The wind is so powerful.

What's going on?

Your Highness, the Immortal Clan is attacking.

It's the Immortal Clan!

The Immortal Clan is coming! The Immortal Clan is coming!

The Immortal Clan is coming!

Finally,

they are here.

Look how scared they are.

But I think they are

so pitiful.

Pitiful?

What for?

They are just

a overly confident human race.

How dare you try to fight the Immortal Clan?

You know you don't have what it takes.

I do admire

their courage.

You mean the courage to seek death?

Let me meet the human race.

Tian Kui.

Slow down.

It won't be fun

if we kill them all at once.

That's right.

How could I miss out

on something so interesting?

Let me have some fun with all of you.

Gou.

Gou!

[King Qi Zhou Fa]

[Zhou Qiao]

What are you waiting for?

Charge into Xin capital

and kill all of the human race

who have violated the law.

Kill them all!

Soldiers of Bai, listen up.

Charge into the capital and kill them all!

Gou.

Gou!

Gou, where are you?

Gou!

Your Majesty!

The Immortal Clan is attacking.

Please let us out.

Your Majesty!

The Bai Army is now right outside the capital.

It's more dangerous to go out now.

Father,

what are you doing here?

Go to Zhaixing Pavilion and protect your mother.

No.

I want to fight

alongside you, Father.

If Mother was here,

she would agree with my decision.

You are my son,

and also the prince of Xin State.

You were born

to fight for the fate

of the human race.

Your mission

is not here.

Father,

I don't understand.

Why do you keep refusing to

let me go to war?

Am I not qualified

to fight for Xin State

in your heart?

Today,

I must fight the Immortal Clan,

for the people of Xin and Xin State.

You’re great, Your Highness.

We support you.

Good job, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You have our support, Your Highness.

Good job.

Wang Zigeng.

This fool

is actually a hero.

We support Your Highness!

Wu Geng from Xin State,

come with me to fight the battle.

Yes, Father.

Gou.

Gou!

Gou!

Gou! Wait for me, Gou!
