[Love of the Divine Tree]

[Episode 36]

Su Yishui is no longer here.

What?

Are you here to seize this body?

Jade Pool, lend me your spiritual energy!

Shui,

I know the void in your past
has made your spiritual sense unstable.

But you said before that you wanted
to find the answer on your own.

Don't let the devil

trap your heart.

Stop dreaming.

How long do you think you can hold on?

You're no different from other demons.

You occupied such a good mortal body,
but didn't even gain any advantages?

I'm different.

The wisdom I gained from two lifetimes

has allowed me to perfect

the formation I created.

Now, even if I can't wake you up,
I'll take you down,

tie you up, and bring you back
to teach you a good lesson.

What a pity.

The power of the Spirit Spring is truly strong.

Even with the power of the heavens
and earth that I borrowed,

it was hard to take him down.

He's only just fallen into demonic ways,
and he's already this difficult to deal with.

If the Spirit Spring becomes
fully adapted to this mortal body,

I'm afraid no one will be able to defeat him.

Miss Xue,

his goal this time is
the spiritual channel of the Eternal Sect.

So what they need is the spiritual channels.

It seems now that the energy
the Three Thousand Realms Tower needs

relies on the spiritual channels
of the Five Heavenly Sects' mountains.

I'm afraid the Five Sects
are all their targets.

Leave!

Leave! All of you!

My Lord!

My Lord, one of the scouts following Elder Tu

has returned.

Quick,

bring him in immediately.

My Lord.

Greetings, My Lord.

Did she regret it

and not go far?

Does she look toward the direction
of Mount Scarlet Flame from time to time?

Elder Tu used a speed talisman
and didn't stop once as she headed south,

reaching a village at the foot
of Mount Cold Autumn.

She rented a small courtyard by a stream
with trees and fields

and settled there.

She ran quite far.

The south is very humid.

Living in that small village
probably isn't very convenient.

Can she get used to it?

Elder Tu's injury hasn't healed yet.

She didn't do much.

She just sits in the courtyard every day,
staring at the distant mountains in a daze.

Why was she in such a hurry to leave
when her injury hadn't healed?

Find a doctor she doesn't know,
have him check her condition,

no matter the method, and help her recover.

But...

don't let her notice.

Yes.

Wait.

She...

just looks at the mountains every day?

Is that the life she wants?

Doesn't she get bored?

The villagers there are hospitable.

They often visit her, bring her things,
and chat with her for a while.

Elder Tu doesn't refuse.

Talking and laughing,
half the day goes by just like that.

She...

She laughs?

She often laughs.

I don't even remember

what she looks like when she laughs.

She hasn't laughed

in front of me for a long time.

No matter who you are,

[Hollow Sect]

you are not allowed
to trespass on the Hollow Sect!

Your opponent is me.

You really came with the intention of
targeting the spiritual channel of the Hollow Sect.

You really are persistent

and hard to shake off.

Don't flatter yourself.

You think I'm here for you?

I'm here to find my Shui.

We are deeply in love,

never apart.

Naturally, wherever he is, I will be there.

Deploy the Sky Enclosure Formation!

He escaped pretty fast.

He's actually this kind of demon.

Ranran,

thank you a lot for today.

Otherwise, the Hollow Sect
would surely have suffered.

We can only know what Dun Tian plans to do
every time he takes a step.

We're far too passive.

We must figure out the specific method
to activate the Three Thousand Realms Tower

as soon as possible.

The first step to activate
the Three Thousand Realms Tower is to obtain

the spiritual power of the Five Heavenly Sects.

You told me to entrust this
matter to you with confidence,

but there's still no progress.

Isn't it because of that troublesome Mu Qingge,

the one you trained yourself?

Is this girl

really that hard to k*ll?

Or is it that

you haven't

fully tamed this body yet,
and that Su Yishui's

spiritual sense is still present,

instinctively

protecting this girl,

so that every time you met her,

you couldn't do anything to her?

He's just a broken spiritual sense
whose soul was cleansed

and has long been completely devoured by me.

How could there be any instincts?

It's only because that Mu Qingge
has the Gold Refining Fire in her hands

and has cultivated a technique

that can continuously draw strength
from the heavens and earth

that she managed to survive for a moment.

Once my demonic energy
fully adapts to this remnant body,

I will make her die a quick death.

But remember,

time waits for no one.

If a direct attack is hard to accomplish,
we can always use strategy.

There is a demonic creature in the netherworld
called Two-headed Deceptive Python.

I brought its demonic egg out earlier.

Come with me

and awaken it,

and all our problems will be solved.

It really is the demonic egg
of a Two-headed Deceptive Python.

If it is born,

the Heavenly Sects will
definitely fall into chaos.

It's just not yet at the hatching stage.

However,

you can use your pure demonic energy

to aid its incubation

and awaken it.

Is everything you said true?

Your Highness,

you still trust me and secretly ordered me
to investigate the matter

of Su Yishui falling into demonic ways
at Mount Scarlet Flame.

I will not

fail your trust.

Now, it has already spread
throughout the Heavenly Sects.

The only way for Dun Tian
to activate the Three Thousand Realms Tower

is to sacrifice everything in this world.

Your Highness!

He never told me.

He never said that he
would destroy everything here.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, your eyes...

Your Highness, since you can no longer
see clearly, why bother with trivial matters

that don't concern you?

Trivial matters?

You recklessly lured demonic creatures
out of the netherworld,

hurting and harming people,
causing chaos among my people,

and you call these trivial matters?

And you call activating the Three Thousand
Realms Tower and destroying everything here

trivial matters?

How dare you harm my people?

Your Highness, if you have any questions
in the future, you can ask me directly.

There's no need

for all this trouble.

You may leave.

But Your Highness...

It's fine.

He doesn't dare to hurt me yet.

I need to know now

what will happen when you activate

the Three Thousand Realms Tower.

Your Highness, don't you already know?

Is there no other way

or method?

Or are you truly planning

to destroy the lives of everyone here

and everything?

Your Highness, activating
the Three Thousand Realms Tower

can bring you back

to that moment

in the world you long for.

You don't think

such a heaven-defying spell

comes without a price, do you?

Price?

The price is enormous.

Why did you never tell me this before?

Because it's not important.

Not important?

This world

is just one of countless others,

one star in the vast universe.

If this world is destroyed,

there will be a new one

welcoming you.

And Your Highness, since you
want your wish to be fulfilled,

why do you still care about

the world you've already given up on?

What are you talking about?

Everything here isn't just a mere illusion.

They are all

existing beings.

And there are my people who trust me,

the people of Great Qi—

how can I just watch them fade away?

I put so much effort into
achieving peace at the borders

and bringing prosperity and peace to the country.

And I will not leave anything behind?

No.

For you,

this is just like death.

Are you actually hoping for
a posthumous reputation?

Or is it that

you couldn't bring yourself to do it now?

Don't forget, the lifespan
I forcibly reversed for you

through magic

can only last for half a year.

After 6 months,

your body will inevitably suffer a backlash.

By then,

it will be even worse than it is now.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, you can no longer see me clearly.

But I forgot to tell you that,

in no time at all,

you will lose your sense of taste

and smell.

Your sense of touch will also weaken,

and even your hearing will completely disappear.

By then,

you'll be like a pile of dead flesh,

lying there,

day after day,

only waiting for death.

At that time, you will surely long
for the vibrant health you once had,

the vigorous strength you once possessed, and

those wishes

you could never fulfill.

Your Highness,

do you no longer desire

what I just mentioned?

Are you threatening me?

No,

I dare not.

I'm just reminding you how to choose

between what's important

and what's not.

Of course,

between yourself and all living beings,

you can only choose one side.

Are you actually going to sacrifice yourself

and willingly enter hell?

You're so smart.

I don't believe that.

You're not trying to resurrect a demon.

You are the demon.

You've led me to abandon my
bottom line again and again.

I'm afraid that in the end,
I'll lose even myself completely.

Rather than...

Rather than letting that day come,

I would rather die

and destroy everything you've planned,

giving myself a clean slate.

How was it?

Was this the closest you've ever been

to death?

How did it feel?

You're tricking me?

How dare I?

Shouldn't you be grateful

that I stopped your impulse

and gave you another chance at life?

You should cherish the present now.

Despicable.

Your Highness,

as long as you can fulfill your wish,

what does it matter

to be a little selfish

or despicable?

You are heaven's chosen one.

How can ordinary people compare
to your importance?

Only when you activate
the Three Thousand Realms Tower

can you truly escape

from death and fulfill the ideals

and ambitions that are now beyond your power.

Uncle Ye Xin.

That day at Mount Scarlet Flame,

I knew you would

arrange everything.

I shouldn't have gone there
without your permission.

But I sincerely

wanted to help you.

Wu,

I don't hate human greed.

After all,

it's desire that creates existence

and myriad worlds.

However,

I hate lies that shatter at the slightest touch.

Uncle Ye Xin, I was wrong.

I just hope that

when you activate

the Three Thousand Realms Tower,

you'll take me with you.

I also want to go to that world—

a world without Mu Qingge,

a world where I can lead

the Heavenly Sects.

As for what happened at Mount Scarlet Flame,
you didn't really affect anything.

I don't blame you.

As long as you handle the tasks

I asked you to do well.

I will do my best.

Next, I will hide Su Yu

in a secret place

and let him rest.

Take good care of him.

Don't let any accidents happen.

I see.

I wonder how he's doing now.

It's still not working.

Dun Tian used a formation
to isolate Su Yishui.

I can't contact him using spiritual power.

I must think of another way.

Master.

Zeng.

We received this letter just now.

It says that a demon python is
causing trouble in Mount Cold Autumn,

and they hope we can go there
and eliminate the demon.

Not attacking the Heavenly Sects
but targeting the common people?

Is this one of

Dun Tian's plans as well?

I'll go and check it out right away.

If anything happens at the Wester Sect,

inform me immediately through sound transmission.

Okay.

[Mount Cold Autumn]

Sovereign.

I told you to take good care of her.

Where is she now?

Sovereign, Elder Tu received a request
for help from the villagers

and went deep into the mountains
to eliminate a demon.

She hasn't returned for two days.

There's a strong demonic aura in the mountains.

I searched all night last night

but...

but still haven't found her.

Useless!

She actually has the kindness to eliminate demons?

And she hasn't returned for two days?

What kind of powerful demon could
be here in such a small mountain,

capable of trapping my people?

Let's go!

Run!

Run!

There's a demon in the mist!

Help!

Come out and talk to me.

I don't have time to play with you.

I only know that in this world, there are
Deceptive Pythons that are good at hiding.

It's the first time I've ever seen
a two-headed Deceptive Python.

Did you eat her?

There's no trace of her spiritual power
in this Deceptive Python.

Tu Jiuyuan?

These demon wolves are quite something.

Their fangs are surprisingly sharp.

Are you alright?

Why are you here?

I encountered this Two-headed Deceptive Python
and thought you had been k*lled.

I've been calling for you all over this mountain
and finally found you here.

I'm fine.

You don't need to worry about me.

Don't go.

The demon wolf's aura is poisonous.

You can't be careless.

Only by resting will the wounds heal faster.

Come back with me.

What...

What happened here?

- This... - Wait.

Don't move!

- Who are you? - You're fake.

I'm the real one.

You're the fake.

You're the fake!

Hurry up and k*ll the extra ones.

It's in chaos.

Everything's in chaos.

I need to inform

Elder Wen about this.

Bad news!

Elder Wen!

What happened?

The blood of that strange python
can duplicate a person identical

to the original.

What kind of demonic technique is this?

Elder Wen!

You...

When did I...

get duplicated?

It's clearly you impersonating me.

The Hollow Sect's Heart Technique is
never taught to outsiders.

Each of you, use the technique and attack me,

and I'll know immediately
whether you're real or fake.

Elder Wen,

please forgive me.

Even the techniques you use are identical.

If you can't tell the difference,

I have a way to find out.

So you're all fakes!

Be careful!

Don't let the blue blood touch you!

Yes!

Elder Wen,

you're the only one left.

You may leave now.

Yes!

Don't leave tonight.

Stay and keep me company.

Jiuyuan,

only you

can make my heart flutter like this.

You shameless imposter!

How dare you impersonate me!

I will k*ll you!

You demon.

It's one thing to impersonate those blockheads
from the Heavenly Sects,

but how dare you come
to my Celestial Sect to cause trouble?

Today,

you won't escape.

Guards!

Arrest him!

Are you all blind?

He's the imposter!

I'm the real one!

Tu Jiuyuan,

come on.

Even you can't tell the difference between us?

You said you've loved me for decades.

You've only been gone for a few days,
and now you're denying it?

Jiuyuan

is the love of my life.

Now she's even carrying my child.

Treating her like a
treasure isn't even enough for me.

You demon.

You can't even make your act convincing,

and actually dare to shout at my Jiuyuan?

You're actually...

You're actually pregnant?

How could this be?

Was it that day,

when we...

Catch that demon.

How are you feeling now?

You were deceived by this demon and couldn't
tell the difference between us for a moment.

It's just that you were
already injured to begin with.

Now, staying by this demon's side,

you must be even more cautious.

Remember,

never touch their blue blood.

Don't let them replace you.

Move!

Behave!

You demon, your skills are just mediocre,

yet you dare to impersonate me.

I'll k*ll you right now

and show everyone

the consequences of impersonating me.

You must remember what I said

and be very careful of this demon.

You're about to die,
yet you dare to speak nonsense!

A quick death

would be too easy for you.

You...

My Lord,

this disgusting demon

deserves to die.

Let's throw it down the mountain
to feed the vultures!

Jiuyuan,

don't get so angry.

Be careful not to hurt our child.

[Eternal Sect]

I've devoted my life to cultivation.

To die in the Eternal Sect

is a good end.

Master!

Master!

Master!

Don't come over!

What happened?

This demon is a Two-headed Deceptive Python!

Once its blood touches you,
it will create a shadow person of you!

Master!

Senior, run!

After I die,

take over the position as the sovereign

and find a way to eliminate this demon!

Master!

- Senior. - Senior.

Master!

Run!

Master!

Mas...

Master!

Now, the Eternal Sect has already fallen.

Other sects

will soon follow.

That Deceptive Python is
truly an ultimate evil being.

You were actually willing
to release such a demon.

It seems

you're ready to end this game.

If it weren't for someone tempting you back then,

I would've already solved this game.

I'm talking about...

Mu Qingge.

You're still testing me?

Don't worry.

I've already firmly taken control of this body.

I'm not interested

in his past foolishness.

No wonder you're the Mortal-Demon Lord.

I'm quite relieved.

Look,

the regal bearing on you

has finally returned.

Once we take control
of all the spiritual channels,

the 3000 worlds

will be ours

to roam freely.

Is it only the spiritual channels?

What are you trying to say?

The spiritual channels are just the energy
to activate the tower.

If the tower's core is unstable
and unable to bear this energy,

all our efforts will eventually be in vain.

Therefore,

we must find the most suitable place in this world

to serve as the tower's core.

Where is this place?

The Mortal-Demon Lord is truly is wise.

Don't worry.

I've already found the perfect location.

Master!

Master!

Master!

Master!

Now, the sect has been occupied.

Remember, they only have memories
from the past few months.

You can ask them about past details

to determine

the authenticity of those you know.

Master!

Master!

Right now, I'm severely injured.

I have to entrust

the Hollow Sect to you for now.

Master, be careful.

Please sit down first.

Hongshan!

Sovereign Wen...

Hongshan, I know that in the current situation,

you can't trust anyone easily.

This is a letter from Miss Ranran.

She says she has found a way to counter the enemy
and invites all the Heavenly Ones

to go to the Wester Sect.

It is indeed in Ranran's handwriting.

How can you prove that you are the real you?

You like the aloofness of plum blossoms the most
and hate the flamboyance of peonies.

Among all the landscapes in the mortal world,
your favorite is Yueyang Tower.

You've been there seven times.

I secretly memorized all these things.

If that's not enough,

I can say more.

Enough.

Let's...

Let's first settle my master,

then we will go to the Wester Sect together.

Tu Jiuyuan.

Ranran.

Elder Wen,

Elder Yan.

You demons!

How dare you come here?

Elder Wen, why did you say that?

After we eliminated the demons
in Mount Cold Autumn,

we received a letter
from the Wester Sect and came here.

Why wouldn't we dare come?

We saw Elder Wen's body
at Mount Cold Autumn.

I think

you are the fake one.

All the sects of the Heavenly Sects are here.

You think you can take us on?

You're also a demon!

Be careful!

What exactly is going on here?

The records in the Xuantian Teachings mention

that these shadow people
are almost indistinguishable

from their original bodies, with no flaws,

and can gradually

replace them.

The only flaw is that,

under the midday sunlight,

the shadow people don't cast any shadows.

That day, when I went to Mount Cold Autumn
to eliminate the demons...

There's a snake!

There's a snake ahead!

Miss,

don't go any further.

There's a python demon in the mountain.

Hurry up and run.

Uncle,

I received your letter.

I'm here to eliminate demons and uphold the Way.

That's great!

Where is that demon?

It's right over there,
deep in the dense forest.

I realized none of them had shadows,

which reminded me of the records
in the Xuantian Teachings.

Thanks to you, the Heavenly Sects have hope now.

But these demons are too troublesome.

We can't k*ll them all,
and the more we k*ll, the more they multiply.

I don't know

what we should do in the future.

Yes.

k*lling them only makes us hesitant to act.

But if we don't k*ll them,
they'll blend into our ranks.

In this way, the fall of all major Heavenly Sects

will only be a matter of time.

We must quickly find a way

a way to eradicate them.

Before that, you should settle
in the Wester Sect and have a rest,

building up your strength and waiting
for the chance to reclaim the mountain.

Thank you, Ranran.

Last time, they failed
to attack the Heavenly Sects,

and this time, they used shadow people

to infiltrate and try
to seize the spiritual channels.

This must be for the Three
Thousand Realms Tower again.

The enemy is hidden while we are exposed.

We can't just sit and wait for our doom.

We must quickly uncover the origins
of the Three Thousand Realms Tower.

But the Heavenly Sects
have been investigating for a long time

and found no records.

The Heavenly Sects may not know,

but there is one person

who might know about it.

Let's do it this way.

The annual ancestral worship ceremony
is crucial for the nation's peace and stability.

There must be no mistakes.

Go ahead and prepare at the Ancestral Temple.

Yes.

I'll take my leave now.

You may all leave now.

Yes.

You want to govern diligently and love your
people, so you want to pray to the heavens.

But the heavens

did not grant you much time.

You're already this sick
before ascending the throne.

How pathetic.

Who let you in?

Get out.

Dun Tian told me to monitor you day and night.

Seeing you cough like this, I had to come in

and check on you.

If anything happens to you,

I wouldn't be able to explain it.

You used to rely on your sister,

and now you rely on Dun Tian.

You've exhausted all your efforts
in scheming across two lifetimes,

yet you've never truly controlled

your own fate.

Don't you find yourself more pathetic?

You...

You're no better.

You've been blindly

loving Mu Qingge for two lifetimes,

but in Mu Qingge's heart,

there has always been only Su Yishui.

There's not even the slightest room for you.

Get out!

Tell Dun Tian, he has trapped me in this palace

for so long.

I must attend the ancestral
worship ceremony tomorrow.

If he wants you to follow me,

you must wait outside the temple

and not come in to disturb me.

[Imperial Ancestral Temple]

You may all leave.

Yes.

Yu,

it's me.

Qingge.

You're back.

I've remembered

everything from the past.

I've been waiting for you.

I knew that one day,

you would come back.

Yu, your body...

has declined to this extent?

Imperial physicians said

I only have half a year left.

Don't worry.

I will make

the best elixirs to save you.

Qingge.

You know this is not what I want to hear.

In the past, you protected me for so many years.

Have you...

ever loved me?

Whether as Mu Qingge or as Xue Ranran,

I've always seen you as a friend,

a confidant.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

If I hadn't asked you

to save my ungrateful brother,

you wouldn't have met Su Yishui,

and you wouldn't have fallen
in love with him later!

If it weren't for that,

you might have loved me,

right?

Right?

Yu!

I don't casually say things
that never happened.

The more we look back on the past,

the deeper we get trapped in it.

Don't fall too deep.

No!

Since Dun Tian gave me this chance,
I must go back and take a look!

Even if you and I still
miss each other, I can always

go to a new world,

a world where only you and I exist,

a world without Su Yishui.

Among the 3000 worlds that will descend,

there must be one

where you love me.

There must be one

where everything

is perfect for me.

There's no perfection in this world.

Even if it exists,

if it comes at the cost of erasing others,

can it really be called perfect?

Yu,

the reason people are different

is simply due to their different experiences.

Even if you replace

a perfect Su Yu, with the people around you

not sharing the same memories as you,

that body

will be nothing but an empty shell.

In such a world,

you'll only feel even more lonely.

Besides, Yu,

do you know that once the Three
Thousand Realms Tower is activated,

the world before you

will be destroyed?

The people you claim to love,
the lands you've vowed to protect,

will all vanish in an instant
because of your whim.

Yu,

in this world,

even though you have many regrets,

at least you still have me as a friend

and Feihua's companionship.

If all of this were to disappear,

wouldn't you feel regretful?

Yu,

come with me.

I will do my best to save you.

As long as I'm here,

you'll never take Su Yu away.

Wu, On the day you returned my spiritual power,

I already decided

that our debts were settled
and I wouldn't hold anything against you.

In the previous life, you already made a mistake.

In this life, you're still obsessed,
making one mistake after another.

When will you turn back?

My mistake

is not making you perish into ashes

when we were in the
Empyrean Bone Sacrifice Formation.
