00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.920 align:center
ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S
LOVE IN THE CLOUDS

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:06.520 align:center
Princess Tianji sent a missive

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:08.799 align:center
saying that Mu Qibai
had been incarcerated.

00:02:09.359 --> 00:02:11.280 align:center
It is a great thing,

00:02:11.359 --> 00:02:13.359 align:center
but I don't feel reassured.

00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:15.600 align:center
If there's a mastermind behind Mu Qibai,

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.400 align:center
he won't live to see another day.

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:20.400 align:center
Yet he still lives now.

00:02:21.519 --> 00:02:22.560 align:center
Perhaps he has a backup plan?

00:02:49.359 --> 00:02:51.040 align:center
Your Lordship,
all the guards have been taken down.

00:02:51.640 --> 00:02:52.600 align:center
Please come with me.

00:02:55.880 --> 00:02:58.000 align:center
Ji Bozai has eliminated the netherbeasts.

00:02:58.600 --> 00:03:00.280 align:center
Lord Jingxi also died in Jixing Abyss.

00:03:00.359 --> 00:03:02.480 align:center
My Lord, what should we do now?

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.239 align:center
Let it be.

00:03:08.160 --> 00:03:11.000 align:center
I never intend to work
for Zhushui Spiritual State anyway.

00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:14.000 align:center
I just wanted to convince them

00:03:14.079 --> 00:03:16.160 align:center
to entrust the task
of raising netherbeasts to me

00:03:16.760 --> 00:03:18.280 align:center
so that

00:03:18.880 --> 00:03:20.959 align:center
I can enact my own plan.

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:23.840 align:center
Shao Qun.

00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:26.560 align:center
You're my only confidant now.

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:28.679 align:center
In this desperate time,

00:03:28.760 --> 00:03:31.880 align:center
we must raise another netherbeast
as soon as possible.

00:03:31.959 --> 00:03:33.280 align:center
Rest assured, My Lord.

00:03:33.359 --> 00:03:35.760 align:center
The most dangerous place
is the safest place.

00:03:36.600 --> 00:03:38.880 align:center
I shall raise it with my soul and flesh.

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:40.440 align:center
No one will find out.

00:03:42.079 --> 00:03:43.640 align:center
My Lord, your ambition
will come to fruition.

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:10.280 align:center
One last step now.

00:04:12.600 --> 00:04:13.839 align:center
Shao Qun.

00:04:15.239 --> 00:04:18.640 align:center
I didn't expect today to come.

00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.760 align:center
My Lord, if you hadn't saved me,

00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:22.320 align:center
I would have been
eaten alive by the hounds.

00:04:23.039 --> 00:04:25.960 align:center
It is my honor to die
for your legacy, My Lord.

00:04:33.640 --> 00:04:36.400 align:center
Shao Qun. When you're gone,

00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:40.039 align:center
no one will protect me like you do.

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:43.760 align:center
Worry not, My Lord.

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:47.880 align:center
I will always protect you.

00:05:16.479 --> 00:05:18.840 align:center
Take care, My Lord.

00:07:04.359 --> 00:07:05.680 align:center
Something happened in the Sunken Abyss.

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:07.719 align:center
It must be the netherbeast army.

00:07:08.719 --> 00:07:11.400 align:center
How come? Didn't we eliminate all of them?

00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:15.479 align:center
It's Mu Qibai.

00:07:45.039 --> 00:07:48.440 align:center
Mu Qibai somehow raised new netherbeasts.

00:07:49.239 --> 00:07:50.880 align:center
It's too late to stop him now.

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:53.200 align:center
So he does have a contingency plan.

00:07:57.080 --> 00:07:59.359 align:center
TIANJI: MU QIBAI FLED WITH THE HELP
OF THE NETHERBEAST ARMY.

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:03.520 align:center
Mu Qibai escaped
with the netherbeast army,

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:04.799 align:center
and he will be hiding.

00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:06.919 align:center
The Prayer Night is around the corner.

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.599 align:center
The power of the stars
will be at its strongest,

00:08:08.679 --> 00:08:12.080 align:center
but so will the power of the netherbeasts.

00:08:12.719 --> 00:08:15.120 align:center
That is the best moment
for Mu Qibai to invade Jixing Palace.

00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:18.679 align:center
I have a solution.

00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:23.919 align:center
Ming Xian once invented
a demon-repelling parasol.

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:25.560 align:center
Yaoguang Mountain dislikes artifacts,

00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:28.080 align:center
so the Emperor of Yaoguang Mountain
destroyed it before he even inspected it.

00:08:28.159 --> 00:08:29.599 align:center
But I saw how he made it,

00:08:29.679 --> 00:08:31.400 align:center
so I can replicate it.

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.559 align:center
Are you serious about
making the demon-repelling parasol?

00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:38.600 align:center
Has it ever crossed your mind
that if someone from Jixing Palace

00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:39.880 align:center
recognized your work,

00:08:39.959 --> 00:08:41.039 align:center
your identity would be exposed?

00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.040 align:center
The netherbeast army
threatens all Six Realms.

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.520 align:center
If we do not seal it,
many more innocent people will die.

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.520 align:center
Master also told us about the calamity

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.800 align:center
a century ago by the Spiritual Veins Fairy
who raised netherbeasts.

00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:54.000 align:center
-Have you forgotten?
-But…

00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:00.920 align:center
But what if they find out
you're Ming Xian?

00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.280 align:center
They will kill you,
even if you save them. You know it.

00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.040 align:center
But that hasn't happened.

00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.640 align:center
The netherbeast army
is the current threat.

00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:13.079 align:center
If I can help,
I mustn't stand by and do nothing.

00:09:16.520 --> 00:09:17.720 align:center
How very characteristic of you,

00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:20.079 align:center
Ming Xian.

00:09:28.079 --> 00:09:31.680 align:center
Princess Tianji,
Immortal Ji, and Fairy Ming Yi.

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:35.880 align:center
I planted the Netherbeast-Luring Caltrop
inside Immortal Ji.

00:09:35.959 --> 00:09:37.640 align:center
My act is inexcusable.

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.920 align:center
LETTER OF REPENTANCE

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.560 align:center
I was misled.

00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:46.160 align:center
Why would I fall for it, though?

00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.680 align:center
It is inexcusable nonetheless.

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.520 align:center
TO PRINCESS TIANJI, IMMORTAL JI
AND FAIRY MING YI

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.040 align:center
I wonder if Tianji will forgive me

00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:58.160 align:center
once I give her this letter of repentance.

00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:11.880 align:center
Why have you summoned me today,

00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:13.319 align:center
Your Highness?

00:10:14.920 --> 00:10:15.959 align:center
Immortal Yan.

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.120 align:center
After my uncle
raised the netherbeast army,

00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:20.920 align:center
where did he go?

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.360 align:center
His Majesty has made a full recovery.

00:10:25.439 --> 00:10:28.240 align:center
You have many ways to locate him.

00:10:28.319 --> 00:10:29.400 align:center
Why consult a physician like me?

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.760 align:center
Because you will indulge me,

00:10:35.439 --> 00:10:36.360 align:center
won't you?

00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:42.000 align:center
Actually, I can also
give you what Lord Hanfeng

00:10:42.520 --> 00:10:43.920 align:center
promised you.

00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:45.839 align:center
You can't.

00:10:45.920 --> 00:10:48.160 align:center
Lord Hanfeng may not inherit Jixing Abyss,

00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.680 align:center
but it still needs a leader.

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.680 align:center
Your Highness,
do you still wish to marry Ji Bozai

00:10:55.760 --> 00:10:59.160 align:center
so that he can run Jixing Abyss
as the prince consort?

00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.360 align:center
Or do you wish to run Jixing Abyss

00:11:05.160 --> 00:11:06.600 align:center
as an empress?

00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:10.719 align:center
Surprised?

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:13.680 align:center
You did not hide your ambition well.

00:11:14.640 --> 00:11:17.040 align:center
You even doubt if you can make it.

00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.600 align:center
That's why you play it safe
and look for a suitor,

00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:21.160 align:center
so that you can be the de facto leader

00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:23.040 align:center
of Jixing Abyss behind your husband.

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:25.439 align:center
But Tianji,

00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:31.319 align:center
you're not the only one

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.719 align:center
who is ambitious in this world.

00:11:36.880 --> 00:11:37.880 align:center
I am too.

00:11:39.199 --> 00:11:40.280 align:center
Since you're so unsure of yourself,

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.640 align:center
why not marry me

00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.120 align:center
and let me run Jixing Abyss instead?

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.880 align:center
What? You can't do it?

00:11:52.079 --> 00:11:53.839 align:center
If you can't let go of your self-interest,

00:11:54.880 --> 00:11:56.439 align:center
how can you convince me
to betray Lord Hanfeng?

00:12:40.959 --> 00:12:43.400 align:center
Xiao, tell me.

00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:45.760 align:center
What is my uncle going to do next?

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:48.400 align:center
I can give you anything you want.

00:13:02.880 --> 00:13:03.920 align:center
Why would you put

00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:06.240 align:center
something like this on the line?

00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.240 align:center
Isn't this what you want, Yan Xiao?

00:13:15.959 --> 00:13:17.680 align:center
To become more powerful,

00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:21.000 align:center
you serve someone
who raised a netherbeast army.

00:13:21.680 --> 00:13:23.199 align:center
So, let's go with your plan then.

00:13:25.959 --> 00:13:27.000 align:center
I'll marry you,

00:13:27.959 --> 00:13:29.040 align:center
and we'll work together.

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:30.319 align:center
What do you think?

00:13:36.040 --> 00:13:36.959 align:center
Mu Tianji.

00:13:39.439 --> 00:13:40.880 align:center
First, it was Ji Bozai.

00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:42.839 align:center
Now, it's me.

00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.040 align:center
Anyone can be your husband, is that so?

00:13:53.319 --> 00:13:55.079 align:center
Yan Xiao!

00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:57.280 align:center
Of course not.

00:13:58.839 --> 00:14:00.839 align:center
After all, you weren't even
in my consideration in the past.

00:14:20.319 --> 00:14:22.000 align:center
Your Highness, think it through.

00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:24.160 align:center
Meng Yangqiu

00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.120 align:center
is the best candidate
to be the prince consort.

00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:29.719 align:center
After all, he worships

00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:31.240 align:center
every word you say

00:14:31.319 --> 00:14:33.120 align:center
and every line you speak.

00:14:33.199 --> 00:14:34.439 align:center
Besides,

00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:37.760 align:center
-he is incapable of betraying you.
-Yan Xiao, you jerk!

00:14:47.479 --> 00:14:49.160 align:center
Do you think everyone is like you?

00:14:58.199 --> 00:14:59.280 align:center
I…

00:15:25.280 --> 00:15:26.120 align:center
Tianji.

00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.199 align:center
I'm fine.

00:15:32.760 --> 00:15:34.000 align:center
I'm fine.

00:16:09.280 --> 00:16:10.280 align:center
DEMON-REPELLING PARASOL BLUEPRINT

00:16:30.839 --> 00:16:31.920 align:center
-Like this. Yes.
-Thank you.

00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.400 align:center
-No worries.
-Take a parasol.

00:16:33.479 --> 00:16:35.199 align:center
-Take a parasol.
-Thank you.

00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:37.040 align:center
-Use it. Take a parasol.
-Thank you.

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.359 align:center
You're welcome.

00:16:38.439 --> 00:16:39.880 align:center
-Come take your demon-repelling parasol.
-Sure.

00:16:39.959 --> 00:16:41.079 align:center
-Thank you.
-Come and have a taste.

00:16:41.160 --> 00:16:42.040 align:center
Take it.

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:43.000 align:center
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:44.839 align:center
Here.

00:16:44.920 --> 00:16:46.240 align:center
Sure.

00:16:46.319 --> 00:16:47.359 align:center
-Take a parasol.
-Thank you.

00:16:47.439 --> 00:16:48.479 align:center
You're welcome.

00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:49.839 align:center
Here. Take a parasol.

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:51.040 align:center
-Come.
-Thank you.

00:16:52.240 --> 00:16:53.680 align:center
-Thank you.
-Take a parasol.

00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:55.000 align:center
I have some good tea inside.

00:16:55.079 --> 00:16:55.920 align:center
-Try it.
-No, thanks.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.800 align:center
-We need to hand out the parasols.
-Thank you. Come inside.

00:16:58.560 --> 00:16:59.719 align:center
All right.

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.199 align:center
-Okay.
-Here.

00:17:01.280 --> 00:17:02.120 align:center
Thank you.

00:17:12.919 --> 00:17:13.839 align:center
Great timing.

00:17:13.919 --> 00:17:15.319 align:center
Will you try
the demon-repelling parasol for me?

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.119 align:center
The artisans crafted them
using the blueprint given by Ming Yi.

00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:27.159 align:center
Tianji.

00:17:27.760 --> 00:17:29.879 align:center
Is the parasol broken?

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.919 align:center
This parasol is amazing!

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.040 align:center
Spin it and its power will be activated

00:17:34.120 --> 00:17:36.000 align:center
to create a defensive barrier.

00:17:39.520 --> 00:17:40.800 align:center
Meng Yangqiu.

00:17:40.879 --> 00:17:42.560 align:center
You'll have to train harder.

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.399 align:center
Perhaps

00:17:45.840 --> 00:17:47.159 align:center
you can learn from Chen Xi.

00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.200 align:center
Chen Xi.

00:17:49.280 --> 00:17:50.600 align:center
Teach me how to do it.

00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:51.560 align:center
Call me Master then.

00:17:52.280 --> 00:17:53.440 align:center
I'll buy you candies.

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.919 align:center
Deal!

00:19:51.159 --> 00:19:53.800 align:center
DEMON-REPELLING PARASOL BLUEPRINT

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.600 align:center
Is this for Zhang Tai?

00:20:04.360 --> 00:20:05.879 align:center
She just learned to use
her spiritual veins.

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.520 align:center
I want to make her
an artifact that she can use.

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:20.720 align:center
Did you design that fan as well?

00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:29.159 align:center
The demon-repelling parasols

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:31.159 align:center
can protect the vulnerable ones.

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:33.120 align:center
But to seal more netherbeasts,

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.159 align:center
we'll have to reinforce the power
contained in the artifact.

00:20:38.080 --> 00:20:39.440 align:center
Once you're done,

00:20:39.520 --> 00:20:40.800 align:center
I'll inject my power into it.

00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.600 align:center
Your master is already head over heels.

00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:52.440 align:center
Your master fell in love first.

00:20:52.520 --> 00:20:55.040 align:center
As if she doesn't know
she already has a fiancé.

00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:56.480 align:center
-You…
-Yes?

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.240 align:center
Your master did it first.

00:21:01.320 --> 00:21:02.159 align:center
Look at him.

00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:04.480 align:center
He developed feelings first.

00:21:04.560 --> 00:21:06.879 align:center
No, your master couldn't control herself.

00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:08.760 align:center
That's why they're stuck
in this situation.

00:21:08.840 --> 00:21:10.639 align:center
She couldn't control herself?

00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:13.960 align:center
Your master is way too shameless.

00:21:14.040 --> 00:21:15.639 align:center
That's why they are stuck.

00:21:16.320 --> 00:21:17.919 align:center
Stop it, you two.

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:27.120 align:center
Actually,

00:21:29.159 --> 00:21:33.240 align:center
I do have a request, Immortal Ji.

00:21:35.120 --> 00:21:38.080 align:center
The fan used by Ming Xian
is called Embers.

00:21:39.159 --> 00:21:40.520 align:center
It is very powerful

00:21:40.600 --> 00:21:42.120 align:center
and can be used to subdue netherbeasts.

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:44.560 align:center
Embers?

00:21:45.399 --> 00:21:47.159 align:center
So, its name is Embers.

00:21:48.360 --> 00:21:49.439 align:center
What a great name.

00:21:51.399 --> 00:21:52.600 align:center
You want it back?

00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:57.080 align:center
Can I?

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.840 align:center
Sure.

00:22:00.439 --> 00:22:01.800 align:center
But I destroyed it already.

00:22:06.919 --> 00:22:07.879 align:center
What?

00:22:08.800 --> 00:22:10.040 align:center
Embers is my…

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.320 align:center
Ming Xian's most treasured artifact.

00:22:13.399 --> 00:22:15.560 align:center
Do you have any idea
how many netherbeasts it can defeat?

00:22:15.639 --> 00:22:17.120 align:center
What does it have to do with me?

00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:18.639 align:center
Ming Yi.

00:22:19.639 --> 00:22:21.399 align:center
We are spouses who share a heart imprint

00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:22.720 align:center
and had our names
carved on the Marriage Stone.

00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:28.600 align:center
You're impossible.

00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:36.040 align:center
What did I say?

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:37.960 align:center
Look at your master.

00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.439 align:center
Look. Open your eyes.

00:22:42.280 --> 00:22:43.159 align:center
Hey.

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:44.720 align:center
Are you upset now?

00:22:44.800 --> 00:22:46.520 align:center
Granny Xun. Quick. Help him.

00:22:46.600 --> 00:22:48.159 align:center
Let me massage your dragon horns

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.120 align:center
-and save you.
-Go away.

00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:51.360 align:center
Brush your cat whiskers instead.

00:22:52.679 --> 00:22:54.760 align:center
You sure you don't want to see
how smitten your master is?

00:22:54.840 --> 00:22:55.760 align:center
Are you sure?

00:22:55.840 --> 00:22:59.040 align:center
My master couldn't
control herself, you said.

00:23:13.800 --> 00:23:14.919 align:center
We don't know what will happen

00:23:16.520 --> 00:23:17.760 align:center
when we fight Mu Qibai,

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:20.760 align:center
but I will protect you.

00:23:22.439 --> 00:23:23.399 align:center
However,

00:23:24.159 --> 00:23:25.399 align:center
you must be prepared.

00:23:26.439 --> 00:23:28.000 align:center
If I survive,

00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:31.439 align:center
you will not be able to escape from me.

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:48.120 align:center
What if I say,

00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:51.960 align:center
instead of you protecting me,

00:23:52.879 --> 00:23:56.080 align:center
why don't we protect each other?

00:24:02.800 --> 00:24:05.120 align:center
Xun Ming mentioned
Heartbond Array in the Illusory Realm.

00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:06.879 align:center
Ancient tomes also said

00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.159 align:center
that it could seal netherbeasts.

00:24:09.679 --> 00:24:11.840 align:center
During the netherbeast calamity
a century ago,

00:24:11.919 --> 00:24:14.000 align:center
it was the Heartbond Array
that sealed them.

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:18.040 align:center
To use the array, the spellcasters
must be of one mind and one heart.

00:24:19.399 --> 00:24:20.399 align:center
If not,

00:24:22.040 --> 00:24:23.560 align:center
they will be caught in self-immolation.

00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.320 align:center
And it's precisely due to this high risk

00:24:30.879 --> 00:24:33.439 align:center
that no one has practiced it since then.

00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:39.679 align:center
If that's what we have to do,

00:24:40.679 --> 00:24:42.560 align:center
then it's not that complicated.

00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:46.639 align:center
After all,

00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:49.399 align:center
we are of the same mind.

00:25:07.120 --> 00:25:11.000 align:center
Aren't you in love with my niece?

00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:14.840 align:center
What's love compared to power?

00:25:15.520 --> 00:25:17.760 align:center
Princess Tianji is incapable
of leading Jixing Abyss.

00:25:17.840 --> 00:25:19.480 align:center
Even if I side with her,

00:25:19.560 --> 00:25:22.720 align:center
we will only become fodder
to the netherbeast army.

00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:30.679 align:center
After I ascend the throne,

00:25:30.760 --> 00:25:32.879 align:center
the position
of Lord Hanfeng will be vacant.

00:25:34.040 --> 00:25:35.240 align:center
In my opinion,

00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:37.879 align:center
you are good enough to carry that title.

00:25:38.520 --> 00:25:39.879 align:center
I promise you

00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:42.000 align:center
that you will be a non-relative vassal,

00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:43.840 align:center
the next Lord Hanfeng.

00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:49.520 align:center
Thank you, Lord Hanfeng.

00:25:50.760 --> 00:25:51.919 align:center
No.

00:25:53.360 --> 00:25:54.399 align:center
Thank you, Your Majesty.

00:25:58.199 --> 00:25:59.040 align:center
At ease.

00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:07.520 align:center
Don't worry, Your Majesty.

00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:10.919 align:center
Even though Tianji can wake her father up,

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:13.840 align:center
the divine enfeebling powder
will still take effect.

00:26:14.639 --> 00:26:18.120 align:center
Your Majesty
can nonetheless accede legitimately.

00:26:19.840 --> 00:26:22.040 align:center
Now that my brother has taken
enough enfeebling powder,

00:26:22.679 --> 00:26:26.560 align:center
fighting him during the Prayer Night
is the best option.

00:26:27.159 --> 00:26:28.840 align:center
Then, we'll declare
that Jixing Abyss has a new emperor.

00:26:29.600 --> 00:26:30.439 align:center
What do you think?

00:26:32.679 --> 00:26:33.919 align:center
Wise choice, Your Majesty.

00:26:51.080 --> 00:26:54.679 align:center
Lord Chengyun, you were
gravely injured in Jixing Abyss.

00:26:54.760 --> 00:26:56.199 align:center
Now that you have recovered slightly,

00:26:56.280 --> 00:26:59.000 align:center
you came to my state in private.

00:26:59.080 --> 00:27:02.520 align:center
Your emperor might just hold you
accountable for your actions here.

00:27:03.320 --> 00:27:04.960 align:center
I came

00:27:06.360 --> 00:27:08.879 align:center
to negotiate with you, Your Majesty.

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:11.439 align:center
Negotiate?

00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:13.879 align:center
How arrogant.

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.439 align:center
Your Majesty, surely you are aware…

00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:16.760 align:center
THE TAMED TIDES, THE CLARIFIED FLOW

00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:19.360 align:center
…that Jixing Abyss is in turmoil lately.

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.800 align:center
First, Your Majesty was misled

00:27:23.639 --> 00:27:24.600 align:center
into underestimating

00:27:24.679 --> 00:27:27.159 align:center
Ji Bozai's power
in the Qingyun Tournament.

00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:28.879 align:center
That already ruined your plan.

00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:32.120 align:center
Then came Mu Qibai,

00:27:33.399 --> 00:27:36.960 align:center
who sabotaged your years
of effort in raising netherbeasts

00:27:37.919 --> 00:27:40.760 align:center
and even caused the death of Lord Jingxi.

00:27:41.439 --> 00:27:42.840 align:center
Jixing Abyss

00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:45.560 align:center
is digging its own grave.

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.679 align:center
I am offering my help

00:27:52.760 --> 00:27:54.439 align:center
to get rid of Jixing Abyss.

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:58.639 align:center
In exchange,
I pray Your Majesty can aid me

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:01.960 align:center
in becoming the Crown Prince
of Yaoguang Mountain.

00:28:11.800 --> 00:28:14.840 align:center
My son, Chao Yu, died in Jixing Abyss.

00:28:15.919 --> 00:28:18.320 align:center
Not only did Mu Qibai
fail to disclose this to me,

00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:20.639 align:center
but he even harbored the netherbeast core

00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:22.480 align:center
in an attempt to go against me.

00:28:23.159 --> 00:28:26.320 align:center
I confer this important item to you.

00:28:26.399 --> 00:28:27.840 align:center
We'll see

00:28:28.360 --> 00:28:31.199 align:center
if you can make good use of it.

00:28:32.639 --> 00:28:36.560 align:center
It is my honor to serve you, Your Majesty.

00:28:38.080 --> 00:28:39.520 align:center
You will not be disappointed,

00:28:40.679 --> 00:28:42.080 align:center
for Jixing Abyss will be no more.

00:28:42.159 --> 00:28:44.639 align:center
THE VERMILION ELYSIUM

00:29:26.280 --> 00:29:28.840 align:center
The Prayer Night is upon Jixing Abyss.

00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:33.120 align:center
In these three long nights,
all plants will wilt.

00:29:33.199 --> 00:29:35.480 align:center
After the Prayer Night,
the cycle begins anew.

00:29:35.560 --> 00:29:37.800 align:center
Everything shall be reborn.

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:24.600 align:center
The emperor uses
his spiritual power as the foundation

00:30:24.679 --> 00:30:27.080 align:center
to borrow the power of the stars
before praying for all beings.

00:30:39.320 --> 00:30:42.639 align:center
May the benevolent stars
strengthen our power.

00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:47.679 align:center
May the ones present live a long life.

00:30:47.760 --> 00:30:51.879 align:center
May the light in Jixing Abyss
shine for an eternity.

00:30:51.959 --> 00:30:54.159 align:center
I pray to you, the benevolent stars.

00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:56.520 align:center
I pray to you, the auspicious emperor.

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:40.280 align:center
-Excuse me.
-This one is good.

00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:41.919 align:center
-These ones are so pretty.
-What about this one?

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:43.600 align:center
-Let me see the one on your wrist.
-Look, lanterns.

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.639 align:center
Check this out.

00:31:47.280 --> 00:31:48.919 align:center
-It's so pretty.
-Let me see.

00:31:49.639 --> 00:31:50.919 align:center
I love the color.

00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.840 align:center
Look.

00:31:53.199 --> 00:31:54.040 align:center
What is happening?

00:31:55.719 --> 00:31:56.879 align:center
What is this?

00:32:00.280 --> 00:32:02.840 align:center
Blessings to all beings!

00:32:24.360 --> 00:32:25.480 align:center
Ming Yi.

00:32:28.280 --> 00:32:29.360 align:center
Father,

00:32:30.040 --> 00:32:31.240 align:center
are you all right?

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:11.080 align:center
Surprised?

00:33:12.280 --> 00:33:15.120 align:center
Yuanfeng, you held the Prayer Night

00:33:15.199 --> 00:33:16.320 align:center
so that you could fool everyone

00:33:16.399 --> 00:33:18.520 align:center
into thinking that Jixing Abyss
is as prosperous as always.

00:33:19.719 --> 00:33:21.639 align:center
But you should know

00:33:21.719 --> 00:33:24.000 align:center
that the superficial prosperity
is meaningless.

00:33:24.719 --> 00:33:28.520 align:center
What Jixing Abyss needs is real power.

00:33:49.679 --> 00:33:50.560 align:center
Father!

00:33:52.719 --> 00:33:54.800 align:center
Yuanfeng, you are poisoned.

00:33:54.879 --> 00:33:57.480 align:center
When you invoked
your poisoned power to pray,

00:33:58.439 --> 00:33:59.679 align:center
you incurred a great curse.

00:34:02.919 --> 00:34:05.600 align:center
Even the strongest warrior
you have is powerless.

00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:52.040 align:center
Lord Hanfeng is revolting.

00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:57.279 align:center
Split into two teams.

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.480 align:center
One team to protect
the subjects of Jixing Abyss.

00:34:59.560 --> 00:35:01.279 align:center
One team to head to Jixing Palace with me.

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:02.200 align:center
-Noted.
-Noted.

00:35:11.080 --> 00:35:11.920 align:center
Yuanfeng,

00:35:12.799 --> 00:35:15.200 align:center
sign on this Abdication Decree

00:35:15.839 --> 00:35:16.880 align:center
with your blood

00:35:17.560 --> 00:35:18.960 align:center
so that I can run Jixing Abyss.

00:35:19.839 --> 00:35:22.319 align:center
Then, I'll end everything.
What do you say?

00:35:23.600 --> 00:35:26.080 align:center
You will be relieved of your heavy burden.

00:35:26.160 --> 00:35:28.360 align:center
And I, as the only person
in the Six Realms

00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.279 align:center
who can command the netherbeasts,

00:35:31.240 --> 00:35:33.360 align:center
will lead the netherbeast army

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.080 align:center
to conquer Zhushui Spiritual State.

00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:40.360 align:center
Jixing Abyss will be one
of the Upper Realms forever in the future.

00:35:49.520 --> 00:35:50.640 align:center
Resist no more, Yuanfeng.

00:35:51.240 --> 00:35:52.960 align:center
The divine enfeebling powder
Yan Xiao gave you

00:35:53.040 --> 00:35:54.240 align:center
is not an ordinary poison.

00:35:55.560 --> 00:35:57.240 align:center
I did not wish to do this.

00:35:57.319 --> 00:35:59.920 align:center
But your cowardice and risk aversion

00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:02.480 align:center
turned what was strong into weak.

00:36:02.560 --> 00:36:04.080 align:center
And the fitting ending for the weak

00:36:05.480 --> 00:36:06.520 align:center
is death.

00:36:19.319 --> 00:36:20.400 align:center
ABDICATION DECREE, HAND OVER THE CROWN
TO LORD HANFENG, MU QIBAI

00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:34.200 align:center
You said you're doing this
for Jixing Abyss,

00:36:34.279 --> 00:36:37.400 align:center
but the first thing you do
is to sacrifice our people.

00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:40.680 align:center
They are our subjects!

00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:44.880 align:center
You will be feared momentarily

00:36:45.600 --> 00:36:47.839 align:center
and hated for life.

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:49.120 align:center
Yuanfeng,

00:36:49.799 --> 00:36:53.680 align:center
it doesn't seem like
we'll ever reach a consensus.

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:18.279 align:center
Mu Qibai.

00:37:19.839 --> 00:37:21.000 align:center
Sorry for the long wait.

00:37:29.200 --> 00:37:31.000 align:center
Aren't you supposed to be…

00:37:37.680 --> 00:37:40.000 align:center
Father, are you all right?

00:37:42.680 --> 00:37:44.720 align:center
All of you are supposed to be poisoned.

00:37:44.799 --> 00:37:46.240 align:center
One must deliberately fall for the trap

00:37:47.640 --> 00:37:49.720 align:center
before one can catch the ringleader.

00:38:01.600 --> 00:38:02.880 align:center
Mu Qibai asked me to add

00:38:02.960 --> 00:38:04.920 align:center
the divine enfeebling powder
to the emperor's medicine.

00:38:05.720 --> 00:38:07.839 align:center
His Majesty will have
a damaged constitution within two weeks.

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:10.000 align:center
And as His Majesty

00:38:10.080 --> 00:38:12.160 align:center
uses his poisoned power to pray
for everyone during the Prayer Night,

00:38:12.240 --> 00:38:15.799 align:center
all beings will be poisoned.

00:38:17.560 --> 00:38:20.000 align:center
Your decision to side with me seems final.

00:38:20.600 --> 00:38:23.600 align:center
I thought it was just
another part of your plan.

00:38:24.680 --> 00:38:26.319 align:center
Mu Qibai commands the netherbeast army.

00:38:26.400 --> 00:38:28.680 align:center
He is more likely to win. I did waver.

00:38:29.600 --> 00:38:30.759 align:center
But rest assured, Ji.

00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:34.960 align:center
I crave power, but I do have a principle.

00:38:35.640 --> 00:38:36.680 align:center
I know

00:38:40.080 --> 00:38:41.279 align:center
right from wrong.

00:38:44.640 --> 00:38:45.920 align:center
I'm curious.

00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.120 align:center
Why me, Yan?

00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:52.240 align:center
Why not work with your childhood friend,
Princess Tianji?

00:38:57.319 --> 00:38:58.200 align:center
Mu Qibai

00:38:59.319 --> 00:39:01.480 align:center
might be more terrifying than we imagined.

00:39:03.120 --> 00:39:05.120 align:center
I must deceive Tianji too.

00:39:05.200 --> 00:39:07.240 align:center
Otherwise, I won't be able
to earn Mu Qibai's trust.

00:39:08.359 --> 00:39:09.480 align:center
Ji,

00:39:09.560 --> 00:39:11.920 align:center
if things do not turn out
the way we anticipated,

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:13.240 align:center
please

00:39:14.160 --> 00:39:16.080 align:center
do your best to protect Her Highness.

00:39:21.279 --> 00:39:22.359 align:center
I suppose

00:39:23.040 --> 00:39:24.759 align:center
there's no running away from the poison

00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:26.880 align:center
Mu Qibai instructed you to put in us.

00:39:33.080 --> 00:39:34.040 align:center
Uncle,

00:39:35.040 --> 00:39:36.120 align:center
give up already.

00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:38.200 align:center
Even if your plan works today,

00:39:38.279 --> 00:39:40.279 align:center
your illegitimate coup d'état

00:39:40.359 --> 00:39:42.799 align:center
will not convince everyone to follow you.

00:39:43.799 --> 00:39:45.560 align:center
Yuanfeng has been ill for a long time.

00:39:45.640 --> 00:39:47.560 align:center
His days are numbered,

00:39:47.640 --> 00:39:49.040 align:center
but there is no clear heir in sight.

00:39:49.120 --> 00:39:50.799 align:center
Jixing Abyss will have a leader.

00:39:51.759 --> 00:39:55.400 align:center
I will carry this burden
as long as I still live.

00:39:57.080 --> 00:39:58.640 align:center
I run the Shouhua Academy.

00:39:59.640 --> 00:40:01.839 align:center
I can make sure Jixing Abyss

00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:04.319 align:center
rises to the Upper Realms
without killing anyone.

00:40:05.600 --> 00:40:06.920 align:center
I won't let Jixing Abyss return

00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:08.960 align:center
to the days when it had
to kowtow to others.

00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:10.359 align:center
Preposterous.

00:40:11.040 --> 00:40:12.839 align:center
How naive of you to think

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:17.400 align:center
that faith alone can make
the other Five Realms submit to you.

00:40:19.359 --> 00:40:21.080 align:center
Her Highness has her way.

00:40:21.160 --> 00:40:23.200 align:center
She merely used faith to tell you

00:40:23.279 --> 00:40:25.000 align:center
that one must lead
a realm with principles.

00:40:25.080 --> 00:40:26.160 align:center
Do not twist her words.

00:40:27.200 --> 00:40:28.640 align:center
Why? Do you think
she should learn from you,

00:40:28.720 --> 00:40:29.920 align:center
who first colluded with Outer Realm

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.839 align:center
and now relies
on a wild and volatile power?

00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:33.160 align:center
You will only meet your own demise.

00:40:33.240 --> 00:40:34.240 align:center
You know nothing.

00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:02.200 align:center
Don't lose it.

00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:04.000 align:center
Get in formation!

00:41:31.759 --> 00:41:34.640 align:center
EMBRACE ALL SUMMITS AND SEAS
emise.
