[Episode 32]

[Inside Xilin Country]

It's getting harder

- and harder now. - Grandpa.

- I don't understand. - I'm hungry.

Enjoy.

- Why did our life - Grandpa.

- become like this? - I want to eat something.

Who knows?

Please give me some rice.

We don't have rice.

How can we have rice?

Look.

There's only vegetable soup

with wild vegetables.

We haven't eaten for days.

Now,

there's a w*r every day,

and food is in short supply.

We can't even afford to buy rice.

If it wasn't for those divine edicts,

how could all this have happened?

That's right.

I heard

that Nanyuan is in trouble

because of the divine edict.

But that's the business

of the rich and powerful,

- Divine edict again. - so let's not discuss it.

[Everlife Hall]

Your Excellency.

[Xilin's Palace]

According to the divine edict,

there is an abundance of fairy grass

on Spirit Mountain in the Nanyuan tribe.

[Xilin's Lord]

Will that really help me

make the elixir that will give me eternal life?

The divine edict gives you the secret,

and it is fleeting.

If you are ungrateful

and disobey divine edict

I dare not.

I dare not.

But

I've already sent troops

to attack other tribes for the gold mine,

so I'm afraid I'll be short

of troops

if I attack Nanyuan again.

Since you don't value your chance at immortality,

let it

be with others.

No, no, no.

Please don't be angry.

I'll recruit soldiers

and take back Nanyuan's spirit medicines.

If I can't,

I'll marry my useless daughter, Qingyang,

to the king of another small country

in exchange for troops.

The process is not important.

You only need results.

I will follow the divine edict.

Your Majesty.

Princess Qingyang has been waiting outside.

Send her in.

Yes.

Father.

My mother has been ill for a long time

and is in dire need of reishi.

Reishi is to be used for alchemy.

A sick woman like her

doesn't deserve it.

Don't worry.

Leave me alone.

Go away.

Who is it?

Yan.

Thanks

[Everbright Hall]

for running around.

It was the right thing to do.

My investigation revealed

that Your Majesty was right.

There are people behind the scenes manipulating those countries.

It's the divine edict that's causing the furor.

The Divine Clan is using those nations

to pressure me.

They're not worthy of the gods when they start wars

and take the lives of many nations for their own gain.

Now that you have ascertained the situation,

send Dongze's ambassadors

to each country to deter them

and send reinforcements

to protect the vulnerable tribes.

If there are any more collaborators with the Divine Clan,

they will not be tolerated.

Yes, sir.

Now that w*r is raging in every country,

Zhao Ming still has no intention of giving in.

The divine child is still unclear, but Zhao Ming becomes another problem.

In a lowly place like the human realm,

there is indeed a lot of trouble.

Since coercion doesn't work,

what about enticement?

Immortal.

Immortal.

Immortal.

Sir.

An immortal

has descended upon the palace.

The divine envoy brings divine decree

and wants to ordain His Majesty.

The Humans

will have an immortal.

The divine decree

is a useless order.

Your Majesty, think twice.

The Divine Clan honors you,

so as long as you sacrifice 3,000 children

according to the divine edict,

you will become immortal.

Faced with such a great honor,

aren't you going to accept the order?

How dare you destroy the divine edict?

I have already said

Dongze does not accept the divine edict,

and I have no intention of becoming a god.

You're so ungrateful.

You are at w*r, and more than 3,000 people

have died.

We are only asking you to sacrifice 3,000 children.

Are they more important

than those who died

in the w*r?

The Divine Clan

doesn't understand the meaning of life.

Zhao Ming.

Don't waste

my mercy.

Pass on my order.

From this day forward,

k*ll every member of the Divine Clan

who comes to Dongze.

Yes, sir.

Who dares?

You are bent

on disrespecting the Divine Clan.

Zhao Ming,

you will pay.

I didn't realize there were people in this world

who didn't care about becoming immortal.

This tough guy

makes things complicated

and interesting.

Since our warnings don't work,

we can ask someone else to make things difficult for him.

The Divine Clan is confined in the human realm

and can't k*ll him,

but if

the nations he protects

rise up

and turn on him,

it'll be a much better show,

won't it?

Turning the countries that Zhao Ming cares about

into our weapons

and making them attack Zhao Ming

is a good idea,

but during the w*r,

Zhao Ming has already

sent its envoys

to calm down the wars

with the stick and the carrot,

so I am afraid

it will not be easy to make them

declare w*r on Zhao Ming now.

People are extremely stupid and greedy.

The Lord of Xilin longs for eternal life,

so if we throw him this temptation of being immortal,

all we need to do

is to incite it

to boost the w*r.

My favorite thing is w*r.

This world

is meant to be filled

with w*r.

Your Majesty, do not worry too much.

The nations turned

against us,

but our border guards

are well-trained

and strong,

so they will be able to overwhelm the enemy.

The Humans should have been a family,

but now, they have to fight

and k*ll on the b*ttlefield.

The Divine Clan's plan was extremely vicious.

Moreover,

the current w*r situation is strange,

and the tactics of the countries are tricky and changeable,

so it must be the Divine Clan's manipulation behind the scenes

that caused the w*r to continue.

Your Majesty.

The spy's pigeon has sent word

that the lord of Xilin has k*lled our envoy.

He has gathered the armies of the nations and tribes

into a powerful alliance

and is heading for the borders of Dongze.

This battle

is the result of internal strife,

and the Divine Clan is stirring up

and planning the w*r.

The will of the nation's warriors is not strong enough,

so if we only send Dongze's strongest army to meet the enemy,

no matter how strong Dongze's army is,

it may not be enough to quell this.

Inform all the generals

to be ready to march

at a moment's notice.

- Yes. - Yes.

Zhao Ming.

Pearl,

why are you here?

I have a bad appetite

when I'm alone,

so I want you to eat with me.

Do you want me to eat with you

or do you want to keep me company?

I really

can't hide anything from you.

There's still a lot of truth I haven't learned,

but I know

people can't carry on

if they don't eat properly.

What will happen

to those who need you

if your health collapses?

So the only way to have the energy

to think about the battle

is if you can eat well.

You're right.

Pearl.

The w*r is urgent right now,

so I recently had to participate in the w*r myself.

Participate in the w*r?

I once heard that

a king participating in a w*r

is different from a general doing that.

Do you

have to go?

Battles

are about tactics and mindset.

This time,

we will not only fight against humans

but also against immortals.

I must go

and must win.

[Graceful Palace]

This time,

we will not only fight against humans

but also against immortals.

I must go

and must win.

Why am I upset?

Is it because I'm worried

or

upset?

I want to know

what feelings are.

Are feelings

lust

or motivation?

As long as I keep missing him,

we'll never be apart.

No matter what happens,

I will always be with Zhao Ming.

Please forgive the Chaos Pearl.

Now she has not yet awakened,

so she has feelings.

I will bring her back to the Celestial Altar as soon as possible

and avoid the divine artifact having feelings.

This thunder is only a warning.

If she continues to have feelings,

celestial punishment will go to her.

The rules cannot be broken.

If you cannot stop the Chaos Pearl from having feelings,

I will destroy her.

Since the dawn of creation,

you have been indifferent to all things,

but today, you are impulsive.

Is this because

you love her?

I do not.

[Graceful Palace]

You're finally awake.

Zhao Ming.

You're about to participate in the w*r,

so don't waste your spiritual power on me.

You've been struck by lightning,

and your body is depleted,

so the doctor's medicine for gathering energy

may not work.

Giving you my spiritual power is the safest way.

Who says the doctor's medicine is useless?

I feel much better now.

Besides,

I wasn't struck by lightning.

My teacher blocked that for me.

They say only bad people get struck by lightning,

so I'm fine now.

But that thunder was very strange,

so I sent someone to investigate

what caused the thunder at Graceful Palace.

Pearl.

In the future, if the sky is different,

try not to go out.

You must be more careful

during the time I'm in the w*r.

If you're not sure,

let me go with you.

Pearl.

Sometimes guarding doesn't mean you need

to stand in front of me or walk alongside me.

Did you know that frontline fighters

are motivated by the people they love behind them?

As long as their loved ones are safe and sound,

the fighters will be able to fully commit

to fighting the enemy to the end.

It may seem like the fighters are guarding their friends and family,

but in fact,

their friends and family are also guarding the fighters.

I want you

to stay in the palace

and guard me.

I guard you?

And how long will it take you

to come back after you leave?

I will return safely

before you finish this bag of candy.

I will ask Yan to stay in the palace.

You can ask him anything.

Zhao Ming.

Starting tomorrow,

I'm going to learn swordsmanship.

Swordsmanship?

I don't want to be the Pearl

who faints

at a single thunderbolt

or turns to Yan

for help with everything.

Since I've decided to protect you,

I must have the strength to do so.

You're not the same

as when you woke up.

People grow up.

A pearl won't grow up,

but it'll understand a lot of things.

Zhao Ming.

Your back

will be safe and sound.

[Two months later]

[Ming]

Zhao Ming has been gone for more than two months,

so are you going to stay like this?

When Zhao Ming was here before,

I felt like the day went by so fast,

but why is every day

so long now

that it

doesn't end after I've read

so many novels,

eaten so many snacks,

and written so many words?

That would be the idiom you taught me,

days are like years, right?

You've run out of candy,

but he still hasn't come back.

I haven't.

There's one left.

It was the only one left half a month ago.

You dare not eat it

because you're afraid he won't come back.

He will.

I gave you this jade pen

so that you could write your own life instead

of trusting it to others

as you do now.

Sir.

What do you mean?

Come with me to a place.

After you get there,

you will know everything.

This is

Zhao Ming's secret room.

Do you really know Zhao Ming?

Zhao Ming is dedicated to fighting the Divine Clan

for the sake of his people.

That's what you and I have known for a long time.

Yes.

Fighting the Divine Clan is true,

but what if it's at the cost

of using and sacrificing others?

Even if Zhao Ming was born with divine channels,

the Humans are still vulnerable

to the gods,

so the only way he can fight them

is with the power of the divine artifact.

The Chaos Pearl

is the tool he has

at his fingertips,

and you

are the Chaos Pearl.

Do you want to know the whole story?

[The Note of Chaos]

When the world was first created,

Hao Tian invented two divine artifacts,

the Chaos Pearl

and the Book of Fate,

so

Zhao Ming revived you

only to utilize your Chaos Power

to k*ll the immortals.

The so-called salvation

is just another way to sacrifice you.

But I don't remember any

of what you said.

I only know that it was Zhao Ming who awakened me

and brought me much warmth and joy.

I don't know the Chaos Power

or the ancient artifact.

Now I am just a wasted pearl

with no divine power.

I just want to be a human

and stay by Zhao Ming's side.

Nothing else matters.

Not even your own life?

You already have feelings for Zhao Ming,

so that lightning strike was a warning.

Divine artifacts cannot have feelings

or fall in love with someone.

Otherwise, you will be destroyed.

What I can do now

is to take you back to the Celestial Altar

and k*ll your love to help you continue

to be a divine artifact that will live as long as heaven.

Only then will you be able

to escape this disaster.

I'm not going back.

I've begun to feel what it means to have feelings,

so how could I go back

to that cold and lonely life?

What's the point of living as long as heaven?

What everyone cares about is different.

For me,

it doesn't matter how long I live.

It's how I live

and who I live with

that matters.

The Chaos Pearl you mentioned

was already gone when the sky was mended.

The one saved by Zhao Ming

is Pearl.

You and I can live forever

and see through karma,

but why don't you understand

that human love

is the most fleeting

and fragile of all?

Is it really me

who doesn't understand love?

Fate.

I should call you that,

right?

You said we were together for tens of thousands of years,

but I'm sorry,

I don't have that memory today.

Maybe it saddens you to say this,

but I'm not going back with you.

I'm going to stay here

and wait for Zhao Ming to return.

♪ In the vast wildness, we sing and enjoy the moonlight ♪

Even if you're going to die,

will you stay with him?

♪ It's like a gentle kiss from warm winds ♪

♪ My heart belongs to you ♪

♪ Join me to savor the world's dazzling fireworks ♪

Sure enough.

I can't forcefully take the divine artifact away.

What are you going to do?

♪ Because our hands remain entwined ♪

In that case,

make three bets with me.

If I win,

follow me back to the Celestial Altar,

and if you win,

you can stay

and remain a human.

Why should I bet with you?

Because

I can give you this Qiankun Pearl,

which can save Zhao Ming's life

at a critical moment.

What do you mean?

Fate told me

Zhao Ming would be in a life-and-death situation.

The Book of Fate has never been wrong,

and Qiankun Pearl

can reverse everything

and give Zhao Ming a chance to live,

so you have to

bet with me.

OK.

I will.

Some destinies

can't be ignored

just because you want them to be.

What exactly

do you think feelings are?

Why is it that human beings

are alive and well

when they have feelings?

If we had feelings,

wouldn't the Celestial Altar

be so cold?

You and I are divine artifacts

that are and deserve to follow Hao Tian.

The exploration of feelings is tantamount

to the process of extinction.

Anyway, I have you by my side.

No matter how the sun and moon change,

no matter if this is the universe or the foreworld,

Fate,

we'll always be together.

The Divine Clan's civil w*r

has caused the skies to break apart

and everything to come to an end.

The Chaos Pearl,

mend the skies now.

Take it upon yourself to enforce the law

to restore order to the world.

[Graceful Palace]

The gaping hole in the sky is so great

that this repair will be dangerous.

Hao Tian.

I would like to take the place of the Chaos Pearl

and repair the rift in the sky myself.

Please allow me to do so.

The divine artifacts have their own roles to play,

and we must not disrupt their order.

The Chaos Pearl specializes in salvation,

so it is her duty to deal with the catastrophe.

You specialize in running,

so you have your own mission.

Fate.

You have defied the will of Heaven.

Do you know the consequences?

We can only be together

if we don't die.

Pearl.

Be alive.

Those

are my memories.

I must be under the influence of Qiankun Pearl

to dream those terrible things.

Fate told me

Zhao Ming would be in a life-and-death situation.

The Book of Fate has never been wrong,

and Qiankun Pearl

can reverse everything

and give Zhao Ming a chance to live,

so you have to

bet with me.

News has come from the front

that our troops have been ambushed,

and His Majesty has been seriously wounded.

I'm afraid the army doctors can't cure him.

Send the best doctors

to the camp now.

- So - Yes.

this is his life-and-death situation.

Yan.

Let me go to the barracks with the doctor.

You're going there?

Can you heal the injured

or k*ll the enemy?

His Majesty's wounds will be healed by the doctor.

Zhao Ming's calamity

cannot be solved by a doctor.

Take me with you.

I can help him.

Your presence in the palace

will be the best help to His Majesty.

Zhao Ming is in danger,

and only I can save him.

His Majesty's orders to me

are to keep you in the palace

and protect you.

You can do whatever you want in the palace,

but I won't let you leave.

His Majesty's orders?

Do you really only see him as a monarch?

You and Zhao Ming

have shared a common bond and fought to the death.

Your bond has long exceeded that

of monarch and subject

and is more like that of close friends

and even brothers.

I know you can't disobey

a king's order,

but putting aside his status as emperor,

do you still have to follow the rules

and do nothing when you know

your brother is in danger?

Now, Zhao Ming

is gravely wounded

and in danger.

Yan.

If you are loyal, I will not make it difficult for you,

but I will go to the barracks in my own way

and see Zhao Ming.

Why have you come?

You scared me.

I thought you

Thought what?

Where are you hurt?

Why did you lose the battle?

Why don't you retreat?

We won.

Won?

But we received word

that you lost

and that you were seriously wounded.

That was yesterday's news.

The so-called loss was His Majesty's way

of confusing the enemy.

We hid it from you

only to perfect the plan.

This morning,

His Majesty led his army through the enemy camp

and won a great victory.

Then why were you acting

like you were defeated?

I was just agonizing over

what to have for lunch.

I've been with the army for months,

and now that we've won,

shouldn't we have a feast to celebrate?

Do you know this too?

Yes, I do.

So you kept it from me?

Confuse the enemy?

You really scared me to death.

What's wrong with you?

I'm fine.

The news is not all false.

His Majesty is really wounded.

Where are you hurt?

Is it bad?

I've brought

a lot of good medicine from the palace.

Come with me,

and I'll give you some medicine.

[Jingyang, Princess of Xilin]

Since you have fallen in love with Zhao Ming

and thus defied Hao Tian,

let's make the first wager.

Human nature will not be firm.

Zhao Ming will fall in love with someone else.

This is

This is Princess Qingyang from Xilin.

This is Pearl.

Does every wound

you have hurt?

I grew up

either following my father on campaigns

or leading troops alone.

I've fought

in many battles,

so injuries are common.

It doesn't matter.

When you're unhappy,

eat a candy.

With sweetness,

you won't be in so much pain.

You eat candy slower

than I thought.

I promised you my return date with this packet of candy

to give you something to look forward to,

but I didn't expect you

to really finish it as promised

on the day of my triumph.

I was worried that if I ate it too fast,

you wouldn't be able to come back in time

and that you wouldn't be able

to come back after I

finished the candy,

so

I didn't dare to continue eating it

when there was only the last one left.

It's a good thing

that I am finally reunited with you.

The armor is so heavy.

You know what?

There have been many rumors about you in the palace.

They all say

that you are an invincible fighter,

but until today I didn't realize

that an invincible fighter

carries something so heavy.

I've never been that invincible.

I just held the determination

of certain death every time

You must not die.

Of course not.

You won't.

How did you get hurt?

I was rubbed by the reins on my horse.

Don't worry about it. It doesn't hurt.

Did I ever tell you

you're never very good at lying?

Your eyes don't lie.

How can a wound this deep

not hurt?

Pearl.

You've had

a hard journey.

Promise me

you'll be well.

You already have feelings for Zhao Ming,

so that lightning strike was a warning.

Divine artifacts cannot have feelings

or fall in love with someone.

Otherwise, you will be destroyed.

What are you looking at?

Princess Qingyang

is a gift from the defeated Xilin

to His Majesty.

Would even a noble princess

be a gift?

What's so noble about a princess

in a world of chaos?
