=Episode 31=

I think

we need to show some restraint.

I am very calm.

I know very clearly what I am doing.

Don't stop me.

If I chose wrong,

that's my mistake.

(Xingzhi,)

(the moment my nirvana failed)

(above the East Sea,)

(I thought I would die.)

(And the last thing)

(I thought of)

(was you.)

(From now on,)

(I will always be here.)

(No matter what happens,)

(ShenLi, I will always be by your side.)

♪Toast to the fate that chains us for the rest of our lives♪

♪Break the boundary that defines our love♪

It's been so long since I came here.

Where is that place?

(My power)

(is back?)

(I feel)

(I'm even stronger than before.)

Today,

it was all my fault.

You don't need to blame yourself.

First, I am not blaming myself.

Second,

what's your fault?

Third, I know what I am doing.

I have been very clear-headed.

You are crazy?

I guess so.

Since the moment you died in the East Sea,

I seem to have not been quite myself.

No.

I can go crazy, others can,

and even the Three Realms can.

But you hold their lives.

You mustn't go crazy.

But I

have long since fallen into an abyss.

I struggled.

I refused.

But heaven

just never spares me.

Li,

tell me.

What should I do?

If I had just fallen for you

without doing anything against heaven,

I would not have suffered the retribution.

It is not the time to talk about this.

Let's first think of a way out.

Ms. Jin said someone was attacking.

I fear it's...

ShenLi,

I have lived for so long

and never met a woman like you before.

What's on your mind?

You're acting like

nothing has happened

and get to business

so immediately!

I didn't pay attention before,

but this time, seeing those puppet-like people

emitting miasma again

reminds me of the past.

Chimeis once caused chaos in the Immortal Realm.

You must have heard of it, right?

Yes.

Thousands of Chimeis appeared in the Immortal Realm.

That was not a coincidence.

They were created by Liuming, your previous lord,

through secret techniques.

Liuming deemed the Divine incompetent,

unwilling to share heaven with them

and desiring to destroy them.

However, it met with strong opposition from the court officials

who argued it would affect the Immortals.

Liuming harbored discontent.

He secretly made thousands of Chimeis to attack the Divine Realm.

But there were too many

and they were too strong

to keep under control,

thus leading to a disaster.

The Immortals couldn't resist and sent a message to the Divine Realm.

The Heavenly Lord came

to ask me to seal the Chimeis.

In the war against the Scorpion-Tailed Fox,

our warriors suffered

a devastating defeat.

One can imagine

how terrifying it was

to face thousands of Chimeis.

And they were all created by a single person.

And if you hadn't sealed

that person,

he would have harmed all beings.

When I came to the Immortal Realm

and battled the Chimeis for the first time,

I had no idea what they were.

But I discovered

they were hard to kill with swords and spells.

Even if they were killed,

they would turn into black smoke

and get devoured by nearby Chimeis

for more strength.

If that was the case,

sealing them was the fastest method.

I want to apologize

for what happened before.

Have you thought of something?

What?

Extremely difficult to kill.

Black miasma.

Acting insane.

Those puppets and the black-clothed pursuers

are similar to Chimeis.

When we first encountered them

in Jinxiu City,

perhaps they were not yet perfected.

But repeated encounters

made me feel

the person who created them

had made much progress.

Fu Sheng.

Why did he know how to create Chimeis

and why could he use your Water Halting Spell?

What exactly does he want to do?

In my opinion,

Fu Sheng may not fully know

the method for creating Chimeis.

Otherwise, he could just create one.

Why would he bother

making those half-finished puppets?

Surely, he knows something.

But I remember Liuming was killed by me,

so there shouldn't be anyone remembering it.

As for the Water Halting Spell,

I think...

It was the Ice Forming Spell, as you said.

Correct.

Without divine power,

how can one cast divine spells?

As for how they got to know them,

do you still remember Gu Chengjin?

Yes.

Gu Chengjin, Jing Yan,

was Qingye who fell for someone

and was stripped of divinity.

He was your best friend.

Yes.

I created the Water Halting Spell,

but I did it to Qingye.

And when he was Gu Chengjin,

Fu Sheng

was around.

Perhaps he managed to spy on

the memories Qingye had as a god.

The Water Halting Spell.

He might have learned a bit of it.

Looking back now,

he did a lot of things covertly,

like burning down your yard

and plotting He's madness.

What do you think

was his purpose

behind all this?

His goal was the Xutian Abyss.

Back then, the Chimeis escaped

and severely wounded the border guards.

Soon after, you came to the Immortal Realm to reseal it.

Not long after,

many Diviners in the Mortal Realm were captured.

I do not know their specific purpose,

but it must be related to Fu Sheng's half-finished puppets.

Let me out!

Let me out!

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out!

I was in the Jinxiu City.

Let me out!

Let me out!

I fought Zixia who was turned into a puppet.

I suppose

he learned the methods of creating Chimeis

from the Xutian Abyss.

(All those things back then)

(appeared to be just as they were,)

(as if they happened naturally,)

(but there was actually someone)

(manipulating them)

(behind the scenes.)

Did you know all this early on?

I didn't realize it

until I got so many clues.

We...

We gotta get out.

I gotta return to report to Her Holiness soon

to devise a countermeasure.

1,000 years ago, after I sealed the Chimeis,

I was too tired

to govern the Immortal Realm anymore.

Your master, Shen Muyue,

became your current lord.

I don't know much about her,

but I am sure she is hiding something from you.

Her Holiness might deceive me,

but she will never harm me.

I trust her.

If you trusted me like that,

that would be great.

It's not the same.

She is both a teacher and a mother to me.

Without her, I wouldn't have survived to this day.

So,

even if she deceives me all my life

and takes my life,

I can just give my life to her.

How could I let you give your life to her?

Now,

how can I bear to see that?

Didn't Ms. Jin say she would come?

Why is there no sign of her at all?

Is she in trouble?

Don't worry about that.

When it comes to

the skill of escaping,

she is second to none.

I managed to get away

and came down to save you,

only to hear you say this.

I'm so sad.

I'm unhappy.

You must apologize to me.

Otherwise, I will not help you.

If so,

I will not apologize.

You go back yourself.

It seems you want to stay with her a bit longer.

No way.

Enough. Hurry up.

Take us out.

Let's go.

Did he do anything

to you just now?

No.

No?

His Excellency

is decent.

These evil thoughts can't affect him.

Hurry.

Li,

your power has recovered?

How did you do it?

Watch out!

What are these things?

This is really bad now.

This is impossible.

Where did it get such great strength?

It even broke through my seal.

I guess

they absorbed

our emotions and desires.

Your Excellency,

yours were so intense.

You have truly troubled me.

What is that?

Why are you so afraid?

I am not afraid at all.

My wicked thoughts have accumulated

in this place for thousands of years.

Over time, they have congealed into a form.

It's like my doppelganger.

So it is quite clear about my weaknesses.

If that's the case,

you can't confront it.

I'll deal with it.

Li,

you're like a man.

Just talk

and don't do unnecessary things.

Don't worry about me.

I can handle it.

Its ability to influence people's thoughts

is what makes it a real headache.

When you were inside,

you surely fell for it.

Alright.

Now I'm going to catch it and won't see you out.

Just go down this road to get out.

I'm off.

Oh, right.

When I was outside just now,

I got into a fight with a bunch of people covered in black smoke.

After the fight, I found

my inner core had been taken away.

Although it is not important to me,

why should I just let them have it for nothing?

I don't care. You gotta teach them a lesson

and retrieve it for me.

I'm off.

Fu Sheng.

Why did they take her inner core?

Things will reveal themselves in time. Let's go.

Who?

Mofang?

Lord Shen,

long time no see.

This is...

Fu Sheng?

Possession.

Mofang is now possessed by Fu Sheng.

Fu Sheng,

we will settle all the scores.

A crippled Lord Bicang

and a severely injured ancient god

want to settle scores with me?

On what grounds?

Now is not the time for me to fight you.

But who told you she was crippled?

(Merged with the power of the inner core.)

(This is the true ShenLi,)

(standing up straight.)

(Even if the sky has fallen,)

(she can still stand on her own.)

(It seems she has completely merged with the Azure Sea Pearl)

(and become so formidable.)

(Now, this body)

(is no match for her.)

You lowly beings.

How dare you profane the god?

They haven't done anything to me yet,

and you're already so enraged.

They always see you as a pushover.

Let's go after him.

He's been hit by your flames.

He won't go far. Let's go.

The fog in this forest is weird.

This must be their trick.

Go find him and ask him about Fu Sheng's plot.

Let's split up.

Too anxious.

Did you see that?

She showed no mercy towards you.

Shut up!

Young master, everything you've done for her

is simply not worth it.

I told you to shut up!

Who?

Why do you help me?

You saved her. She doesn't wish to kill you.

I'm just going along with her.

She always has a tough exterior but a soft heart.

Do you think you know her very much?

You are but a latecomer.

But I've won her over.

You don't understand her.

Her Holiness's disciple?

You're just lucky

to be taken as a disciple by Her Holiness.

You don't deserve it.

You're just fortunate to be born into privilege.

There's nothing to be proud of.

- Great! - Great!

By using my body as a formation

and my blood as the catalyst,

I pay tribute to all life.

Mortals are granted the power of the Five Elements.

Help!

Help me, Master!

ShenLi.

Help!

You've disappointed me greatly.

You're even practicing evil spells!

I know I was wrong. Help me!

Master.

Shut up!

Learning these evil spells

will only ruin your future.

This pain

will help you remember.

You can't even manage to follow the heterodox paths.

ShenLi,

You're really not living up to your title

as Her Holiness's disciple.

Mofang, get out of my sight!

How can you command me?

That sound is from the Dragon Mastiff.

It is Liuming's mount.

It was sealed by Her Holiness 1,000 years ago.

How could it possibly escape?

Someone has lifted the seal.

Li, I will hold back the Dragon Mastiff for a while.

You lead them out

and go back for reinforcements.

Where is Grumpy?

Who?

Mofang.

Mofang is over there.

Stick close. Don't fall behind. Follow me.

General!

General!

Don't just stand there. Come help me carry him.

Aren't you very strong?

Show it.

(She was doing it to save me.)

(She's not as bad as I imagined.)

Don't try to harm our people!

♪Igniting the world's illusions♪

Get lost!

♪Looking back in a stirring instant♪

♪A blazing glance from the heart♪

Since then, I have been with Her Lordship on the battlefield.

If it hadn't been for you...

You're right.

Without Xingzhi,

you would have a chance.

It's all because of this ancient god

that things ended up like this today.

- Listen to me. Open the Xutian Abyss. - Shut up.

- Shut up. - And release the Chimeis.

ShenLi will be at your disposal.

Shut up!

So you played a part

in getting yourself into this situation.

Xingzhi.

Xingzhi.

Xingzhi!

Why did you let him go?

Didn't you let him go once before?

Only this once.

In return for his saving me.

Next time, I will show no mercy.

What is that?

Falling rocks from the Extranatural Heaven.

Falling rocks?

It seems I need to go back and check it out.

Do you want to come with me?

Of course, we must go back.

Hurry up. Don't dawdle!

Stop there!

Who are you? How dare you trespass on the Divine Realm?

I'm a maid of Lord Bicang.

I've come to see Lord Xingzhi.

Show me your permit.

I don't have it. I am simply here to see Lord Xingzhi.

He took away Lord Bicang's Red Plume Spear.

That is Her Lordship's relic.

It belongs to our realm.

I'm here to ask His Excellency to return it.

Without a permit,

you're not allowed in,

let alone seeing

His Excellency.

Go back.

I won't go back without Her Lordship's spear.

If you don't go back, we still won't let you in.

Do you intend to loiter here?

I don't care. I must take Her Lordship's spear.

How dare you

act like this here?

Your Holiness, these are the memorials from all over the realm.

One more thing.

Her Lordship's...

Her Lordship's maid, Rouya,

seems to have gone to the Divine Realm

to get back Her Lordship's broken spear

from Lord Xingzhi.

Should I bring her back?

Let her do it.

Yes.

Her Holiness didn't ask us

to bring her back, did she?

Her Holiness

certainly misses Her Lordship too.

She hopes Rouya can retrieve that broken spear.

Even though

(Memorial)

she knows it's impossible.

One must always hold on to hope.

Yes, if the person can't return,

getting her thing back

will do.

I'm asking you. Where is His Excellency?

His Excellency is in an unstable state of mind.

I told you to watch over him

in case something might happen.

Now rocks are falling from the Extranatural Heaven,

and you're telling me you don't know where he is!

Have you recently

gone down to the Mortal Realm for fun again?

I thought you had grown up.

I promised His Excellency.

Just do whatever you want.

Those rocks are falling.

Do you know how dangerous that is?

If you don't say it today,

I will certainly not spare you.

Anyway, those rocks only fall

upon the wilderness of the Mortal Realm.

They haven't caused much damage.

I'll do my best to protect His Excellency's carefree times

and never divulge his whereabouts.

You!

I'm pissed off!

Miss, are you all right?

You all just wait.

A demon!

Run!

Lord Bicang! I can't believe it's her.

She's alive? I'll inform the Heavenly Lord.

Go ahead.

Are you heading to the Extranatural Heaven?

Please wait.

You acted rather impulsively at the East Sea

and shook the Extranatural Heaven.

It may not be a good time to return.

Has anyone been hurt?

It was just a few falling rocks.

No Diviner was hurt.

But they've punched a hole in the Ninth Heaven

and fell into the lower realm.

Fortuitously, it didn't harm the mortals.

Your Excellency, please wait!

Please wait.

How can it be? ShenLi?

- ShenLi! - Your Excellency.

- She's still alive. - You...

- He found her! - You shouldn't have.

Lord Bicang is a real calamity.

Has His Excellency

fallen for her tricks?

Maybe it's plotted by the Immortal Realm.

Yes.
