Original subtitles

May I be like the stars

and you like the moon.

As long as the world remains,

so shall we.

I only wish to stay with the one I love,

watching every sunrise and sunset.

I want to be with you forever.

Eternals and demons walk different paths.

You and she are ultimately different.

Have you ever

truly cared for me?

No.

Never.

In this life and the next, through all lifetimes…

May we live and die together,

and share life and death as one.

[Moonlight Mystique]

[Episode 33]

[Jin Yao]

The Ming bell rings

and the soul lantern is out.

That's not right.

There is no war in Lanling today.

Why would the soul lantern go out?

Let's go.

Let's go to the soul lantern room.

Okay, let's go.

Impossible... Impossible!

How could our Sect Leader's soul lantern go out?

Impossible...

How could Sect Leader...

No one can kill our Sect Leader

and seniors in the entirety of the Eternal realm.

No, no.

This...

This lantern must be broken.

It must be a mistake!

I don't believe it!

The soul lantern is real.

It's true that it's extinguished.

If something really happened to Sect Leader...

If he's alive, I want to see him in person;

if he's dead, I want to see his body.

Nonsense!

I don't believe it!

Impossible!

Why is this happening?

The Five Contemplations have been gathered.

Why can't the power of the divine stone

still can't wake you up?

Fan Yue...

Hang in there.

I will save you.

How is Master?

Prepare the alchemy furnace for me.

Why can't we save him when all Five Contemplations have already been gathered?

Prepare the alchemy furnace for me!

If you won't,

I'll do it myself.

Bai Shuo!

Before you left,

you would protect him with your life.

I trusted you!

You have to tell me what happened.

How did this happen?

If you want to be sad or ask who should be accountable,

put them at the back of your mind for now.

Prepare the alchemy furnace.

I have to save him.

Fan Yue can't die.

I won't let him die.

Master.

Please bless me so that I can cultivate a first-grade elixir.

The barrier is broken?

It seems that the hidden power in Chong Zhao

is not a coincidence.

Did something big happen?

Hidden power?

Chong Zhao killed you.

Seems like your secret

is no longer a secret.

But you deserve to die.

Your death

at least proves one thing–

that the Divine Lord

is finally coming back.

Hidden power?

You can control it?

Who are you?

Chong Zhao.

Chong Zhao, how are you?

I killed my master.

I killed my master...

It's okay.

I killed my master.

Calm down.

We are no longer in Bodhi Village.

We are in Bright Moon Palace.

And Jin Yao is not your master.

He is your enemy.

He killed the Eternal Race.

You killed him to save people.

You did nothing wrong.

I called him Master for 10 years.

I... I killed him myself.

-I... -I killed him myself.

I understand.

I've also called Zhen Yu

Master for 10 years.

While seeing the truth

is painful,

it's not a bad thing.

But with my power,

how could I kill Jin Yao?

I remember he mentioned something like the hidden power.

You once said

there is a power

that is not demonic power on Zhen Yu.

If my guess is right,

that's hidden power.

What he injected into your body

was not only demon power,

but also hidden power.

Hidden power is the power of the Hidden Race from 60,000 years ago.

It has long disappeared with them.

Is Zhen Yu a Hidden Race from back then?

Why did he inject this

in my body?

Maybe...

Oh no.

If Jin Yao died, his soul lantern would go out.

Lanling would ring the Nether Bell.

I have to send a message to Lanling

to tell everything that happened in Bodhi Village.

If anything happened to Sect Leader,

Lanling would be in chaos.

Chong Zhao.

I hope you are not the third child

Zhen Yu is looking for.

I hope you have nothing to do

with the Hidden Lord.

[Master, I have something important to report.]

I knew

you would inform Lanling.

[Jin Yao and Luan Zhu have been executed.]

Do you think you can be peaceful

in Bright Moon Palace?

The plan has started.

The end is coming.

No one can escape.

Why?

Why is it still not working?

Why can't I make it?

Shuo.

Take a rest.

In Ning'an City,

everyone called me the big bully.

With my father's status

and my wits,

I thought I could do anything.

I thought I was the best in the world.

But I am nothing after all.

Master gave me his tortoise shell,

but I still can't make a first-grade elixir.

I can't save Fan Yue and you.

I really think I'm useless.

Don't be

too anxious.

Don’t force yourself.

The first-grade elixir's recipe has long been lost.

It's not easy to make it.

Even if you fail,

it's not your fault.

Okay?

No.

I can't give up.

Xi.

If I don't do my best

to save you and Fan Yue,

I will hate myself for the rest of my life.

How is it?

Any news about Sect Leader?

I've sent my disciples to inquire around.

There is no trace of Sect Leader.

I haven't found

any news about Sect Leader either.

Why?

How could the Sect Leader of Lanling

disappear into thin air?

I don't believe that Sect Leader is dead.

Someone must have

plotted this.

When I find out who they are,

I will kill them!

Sect Leader went to look for Chong Zhao himself.

But he didn't bring Chong Zhao back,

nor did he even mention Chong Zhao.

Could something

have happened then?

After Chong Zhao left Cold Spring Palace,

he was still in contact with Sect Leader.

We have never seen Chong Zhao.

After such a big accident happened in Lanling,

no matter what,

we must summon Chong Zhao back.

At least let him know

something happened to Sect Leader and Senior.

Cut the crap!

Go look for Chong Zhao!

Let’s go!

Chong Zhao!

Chong Zhao!

He's not here.

There's no dust.

It means Chong Zhao lived here.

He hasn't left for long.

Come and take a look!

This flower pattern...

It's from Cold Spring Palace's Fu Ling.

There are traces

of female perfume in his cabinet.

Could it be that

Fu Ling lived here?

What's going on between Chong Zhao

and Fu Ling?

No matter what,

we must ask Chong Zhao for an explanation!

When Sect Leader came to the steamed bun stall

to look for Chong Zhao, did he notice Fu Ling?

Why didn't he mention it?

I always feel

Sect Leader is hiding something.

It seems that only by finding Chong Zhao

can we know what happened.

Xi.

Xi.

How are you, Xi?

It's fine.

It's fine.

Shuo will be able to cultivate a first-grade elixir.

Shuo will save you.

It doesn't hurt.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

It's the alchemy furnace!

I made it!

A first-grade elixir.

I made it!

Xi.

Xi.

-Xi! -Xi!

What I just spit out

was poisonous blood.

I can feel

the spiritual vein in my body is smooth

and the pain disappearing.

Shuo.

Chong Zhao.

My body has been detoxified

of the Heart Devouring Poison.

The Seven Stars Soul Burning Seal

is caused by the cultivation of demonic magic.

It's unlike Heart Devouring Poison.

If...

If this first-grade elixir can’t save him,

what should we do?

I don't think about ifs.

I just do my best.

I believe he will wake up.

He said

he wouldn't leave me alone.

♫If the wind intends to fill the sky with flowers♫

♫The moon's brightness is also the result of stars falling into place♫

♫As the wind stirs, the clouds gather♫

♫As the clouds shift, the moon becomes full♫

♫Love is the hardest thing to understand♫

Maybe one first-grade elixir is not enough.

I'll continue to make more.

♫I'm finally back to where it all started♫

♫All the answers are already explained♫

♫I'll owe you all of my life♫

♫But we're destined to part♫

♫How can I downplay this?♫

♫When you engrave your love into my heart♫

♫When my star falls only for you♫

♫When the heavens fall♫

♫I can still connect with you through the waning moon♫

♫When my pain blurs my eyes♫

♫Out of the countless stars, I see only you♫

♫As you turn into a falling star and crash into my heart♫

♫I'm finally back to where it all started♫

♫All the answers are already explained♫

I heard from the demons that

♫I'll owe you all of my life♫

a bear demon from Donglu, Polar Region,

♫But we're destined to part♫

and a panther demon from Sun Mountain

fell in love with the same girl.

♫How can I downplay this?♫

Thus, they fought.

The Bird Clan and Moth Clan

burned bridges because they fought over

♫When you engrave your love into my heart♫

caterpillars,

saying they would never talk to each other again.

♫When my star falls only for you♫

The leader of the Rat Clan

took bribes in your name

♫When the heavens fall♫

and was imprisoned.

♫I can still connect with you through the waning moon♫

He even cried for injustice every day.

Look.

♫When my pain blurs my eyes♫

There are so many things waiting for you to deal with in Bright Moon Palace.

♫Out of the countless stars, I see only you♫

How can the Demon King

slack off?

♫As you turn into a falling star and crash into my heart♫

All demons in the Polar Region are waiting for you.

I'm waiting for you too.

♫When you engrave your love into my heart♫

I thought

as long as the Five Contemplations are gathered

♫When my star falls only for you♫

I can save you.

♫When the heavens fall♫

♫I can still connect with you through the waning moon♫

But it turns out...

That was just my wishful thinking.

♫When my pain blurs my eyes♫

But Fan Yue...

♫Out of the countless stars, I see only you♫

Please wake up

♫As you turn into a falling star and crash into my heart♫

for me.

Okay?

Fan Yue.

I dreamed of you again.

When will you wake up?

What else can I do to wake you up?

Shuo.

It's not a dream.

Fan Yue.

Is it really you?

You're awake.

♫What kind of flower would never bear fruit?♫

It's me, Shuo.

♫What kind of fruit never sees a flower?♫

I'm back.

♫Withstanding the stillness, you are a broken piece of me♫

I thought you would never wake up again.

♫I am the fruit to your flowers♫

It's all my fault.

Be good.

Don't cry.

So...

You were cured by the first-grade elixir?

You woke me up.

I thought

♫Across thousands of miles♫

I would really leave this time.

But suddenly, a force stopped me.

I heard everything you said.

♫The pain of parting lingers♫

I can't leave you.

I'm back.

♫ I light a lamp with no wick to carry me through the rest of my days♫

Since you're back...

Since you don't want to leave...

♫Flowers in the wind, sand in the water♫

promise me

that you will never leave me,

okay?

Okay.

I promise you.

♫May I ask, what do the gods see in the world?♫

I will never leave you.

♫Sadness from infatuation, anger, and parting♫

♫My love brought tears♫

♫Greed for gathering, for holding, and for completeness♫

♫I was never a flower, but I withered on my own♫

♫I fell between your brows and became a good fruit♫

♫The grand dream of life is hard to let go♫

♫Searching for the path, the answers, yet found nothing♫

Should I

call you Bai Xi or Fu Ling?

They are just names.

It's up to you.

Every time we met, we'd be at each other's necks.

I never thought I could

talk to you so calmly.

I used to think

I would only come here for one reason:

to attack Bright Moon Palace.

What a coincidence.

I used to only think of

destroying Cold Spring.

Tian Huo.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for what heppened

in the Outlanders' City

and at the Fox Clan.

I killed your family

and those you love.

I should atone

for my sins.

So you came to me today

to seek death?

Atonement,

not death.

You think I wouldn't kill you?

I didn't tell anyone

I asked you to meet here.

No one will know

what you do.

I have thought about killing you more than once.

But your life

was saved by Bai Shuo.

Bai Shuo saved Master.

I appreciate her kindness.

I don't want to make things difficult for her

nor make things difficult for Master.

Don't mention

what shouldn't be mentioned in the future.

What are you waiting for?

Take the dagger back.

I'm sorry.

And...

Thank you.

I think I know

what's behind Jin Yao's death.

The hidden power in Chong Zhao

was given by Zhen Yu.

Have you heard of

how to dissolve the hidden power?

Hidden power

goes back to ancient Divine Region.

I don't know more than you.

Back then, the Hidden Lord tried to destroy the world.

He took spiritual power

through hidden power.

Even today,

various tribes are still scared of the hidden power.

So,

the fact that Chong Zhao has the hidden power

has to be kept a secret.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Aren’t you going back to rest?

Although your Seven Stars Soul Burning Seal is gone,

it will take some time to recover.

I'm afraid you won't take the medicine.

Are you afraid that I won't take the medicine

or are you reluctant to leave me?

I just want to be with you.

What's wrong with that?

You are just like the

♫The person standing far away♫

the domineering Bai Shuo I first met.

You're not much better.

♫Don't be afraid♫

The invincible Demon King.

When we first met,

♫The stars will guide you to me♫

you wanted to bite me.

♫Walk towards me♫

Cang Shan was still around back then.

We met a lot of people

and went through a lot.

♫My heart feels so...♫

There's also Ling Long,

Rong Xian,

♫It's pounding as I wait for you♫

Mu Jiu,

and Master.

Sometimes I think

♫The stars light up your eyes♫

if I didn't want to be an immortal,

and didn't try gathering the Five Contemplations,

would all these

have not happened?

♫You are my distant call♫

Then they wouldn't have...

♫You are my first and last♫

Shuo.

Everyone has their own fate.

♫My heart is trembling for you♫

Even without you,

some things would happen.

You have to believe

♫In this moment where we embrace each other♫

those who left,

as long as we don't forget them,

♫Let's never let go♫

then they have never left.

Fortunately, you are still here.

Xi and Chong Zhao are also in Bright Moon Palace.

Although Chong Zhao has hidden power,

I believe we can find a way to dissolve it.

Everything

will turn out fine,

right?

♫We're destined to be together forever from the first sight♫

It will.

You have the Five Contemplations now.

The power of the Contemplation Stone is taking shape too.

♫Goodbye, loneliness♫

You will continue to become stronger.

♫The one who was slightly late♫

When you become stronger,

you may face a new challenge.

♫You came towards me, closer and closer♫

But no matter what the future holds,

you must always

be the free Bai Shuo.

♫You enriched my life♫

♫The stars light up your eyes♫

It's almost anniversary

of the establishment of Bright Moon Palace

by Tian Huo, Cang Shan, and me.

We'd celebrate within the palace

for the anniversary every year.

♫You are the light I yearn for♫

I'll go arrange for it.

You just recovered.

You should take a good rest.

♫You are my determined way home♫

I'll prepare it this time.

After all these obstacles,

I also found Xi.

Let's hold a gathering

♫Let this moment stay forever♫

for everyone

to make peace for next year.

Do you know how to prepare the celebration of a Demon Race?

It's all the same thing.

♫I'm hugging you in the crowd♫

Just wait and see.

I will give you the most unforgettable celebration.

♫Let's never let go♫

It's cold at night.

Why are you sitting here alone?

I'm just doing some reflection.

In the past,

you were an immortal;

you were irreconcilable with the Demon Race.

I was the Young Lord of Cold Spring Palace.

There's only one possibility between me and Fan Yue:

only one of us can live.

I didn’t expect

the Bright Moon Palace

to be the only place that can protect us now,

and that Fan Yue and us

would become friends.

My parents,

Master and seniors taught me that

eternals and demons are irreconcilable

like water and fire.

But in fact, you were a human,

but you became a demon.

I'm an immortal,

but I have demonic power and hidden power.

Fan Yue is a demon,

but he protects everyone.

Shuo is human,

but she's as strong as eternals and demons.

It doesn't matter

what we are.

What matters is

what we choose to be.

Judging from what you said,

you seem to be implying something.

I know you're worried about me

and my hidden power,

afraid I'll be controlled by it.

Don't worry.

I won't be controlled by my hidden power.

I know who I am

and what I should do.

I won't let you down.

Of course I trust you.

The Chong Zhao I know

is upright and righteous,

kind and unyielding.

How could he be affected by his hidden power?

Guess

what I'm thinking.

♫I remember that moonlit night♫

-The steamed bun stall. -The steamed bun stall.

♫The flowers that bloomed once in a lifetime♫

I often think of

♫I remember that word of concern♫

when you taught me how to make steamed buns.

Chong Zhao.

♫But unfortunately, I didn't get to answer♫

I miss the days in Ning'an City.

♫I remember that drop of tear♫

♫It dried in the wind♫

When everything is settled,

♫The one in the autumn wind♫

I'll take you home.

♫How many times have I seen you in my dreams?♫

But with only the two of us in the steamed bun stall,

♫That year, that year♫

it would be boring.

Shall we

have a few children?

♫The leaves fell unnoticed after the flowers bloomed♫

How about two?

One like you...

♫I'm afraid the autumn wind will stir up memories♫

♫They unfold, one page after another♫

Who said I was going to have babies wit you?

♫That year, that year♫

Yes.

One like you

and the other like me.

♫The flowers flew under the moon, filling the sky♫

You teach them swordsmanship.

I...

♫Falling to the mud, burying the memories♫

I'll teach them how to steam buns.

♫Layer after layer♫

Okay.

I'll teach them swordsmanship.

♫Another year passed♫

You teach them how to steam buns.

♫Another year passed♫

Soul Lotus:

it's a healing flower

with infinite life.

Although your divine soul is dead,

your body is still alive.

It can be used by me

and help me get the Divine Lord back.

You didn't live for 60,000 years in vain.

My lord,

your Destiny Regalia is too powerful.

I didn't expect

even if with Soul Lotus,

it's still difficult to repair.

Turn left.

Yes.

Is that okay?

A little to the right.

This should be okay now, right?

What are you looking at?

Feels like something is missing.

The decoration is fancy enough,

but it's not lively enough.

Little Demon,

go to the back mountain and bring all the flowers here.

Go.

-Yes. -Yes.

Lady Tian Huo,

you're very cooperative today.

Don't act like that.

I'm not cooperating with you.

I must do my best

for Bright Moon Palace's anniversary.

So much so

you're willing to hang lanterns under my command.

Actually, saving Fan Yue is my wish.

You don't have to thank me.

Stop making wild guesses.

If you ruin the celebration,

I'll teach you a lesson.

"I'll teach you a lesson."

Ms. Bai,

the osmanthus cakes you wanted are done.

Thank you.

Take a break.

I asked the chef to make osmanthus cakes.

Try it.

All I heard this morning

is your voice around the palace.

How big is this ceremony going to be?

This is the first anniversary we celebrate together.

Of course it should be

as lively as it can be!

The first?

You mean

you want to spend the second and third one with me,

forever and ever?

What else?

Who else do you want to celebrate it with besides me?

No one else

but you.

That's more like it.

I shan't waste my time with you.

I'm going to supervise them.

Take a good rest.

Don't wander around.

Okay.

-Be careful. -Okay.

Make it straight.

To the left.

♫Writing wishes in the night sky♫

This is the first time I've attended the celebration of a Demon Race.

♫The clouds seal their approval for me♫

The Cold Spring Palace has always been cold.

There are no friendships,

♫You walk towards me slowly♫

much less celebrations.

I don't know how to celebrate either.

♫Time stops♫

Let's take a good look at

what the celebration of Bright Moon Palace is like.

♫The brightest star in the night sky♫

♫Is willing to extinguish for you♫

♫Because the starlight in your eyes♫

♫Lights up my long night♫

♫I'm afraid tomorrow is too far♫

♫Love you at every moment♫

♫Don't miss me♫

♫I'll always be by your side♫

It's already pretty lively outside.

Let's go.

You're going just like this?

♫I'll fulfill this promise with my life♫

How else should it be?

Today is a big day for the palace.

♫Once in a lifetime, forever♫

You're Demon King of the Polar Region and Master of Bright Moon.

Of course you should be different.

How?

♫Every starlight♫

Watch me.

♫Is a kiss from me to you♫

The new clothes you prepared

♫I'll fulfill this promise with my life♫

is more flamboyant than I would normally be.

I did it on purpose.

♫Once in a lifetime, forever♫

I want to show them

how beautiful

our Demon King is.

♫Every starlight♫

♫Is a kiss from me to you♫

My lord...

My lord.

We did it.

We did it!

We did it!

Fan Yue.

Fan Yue.

What happened?

The seven stars are all gone.

I didn't manage to escape after all.

No.

I'll go make more

first-grade elixir.

Even without Master's tortoise shell,

I can definitely still cultivate it!

My demonic power...

is exhausted...

Where is your demonic power?

How did this happen?

I thought God

gave us one more chance.

I thought I could continue keep you company.

I didn't expect...

I still can't change the ending.

Stop saying that.

I don't want to hear it.

You promised me

you'll always be by my side.

I'm here, Shuo.

I'll always be here.

Do you remember what I told you?

Every one of us

has their own fate.

But what happened

will never be meaningless.

If meeting you

was fate,

I won't resent fate

for letting our encounter

be so short.

Because...

Fan Yue meeting Bai Shuo

and falling in love with Bai Shuo

is the luckiest thing in my life.

Promise me.

Don't be sad.

♫What kind of flower would never bear fruit?♫

Everyone has been looking forward to tonight.

I have too.

♫What kind of fruit never sees a flower?♫

Let's not be party poopers

and enjoy

this anniversary celebration, shall we?

♫Withstanding the stillness, you are a broken piece of me♫

♫I am the fruit to your flowers♫
