[Final Episode]
I've been waiting for 8,000 years...
8,000 years...
I thought that the gods had already abandoned me.
Now...
The time has finally come...
I shall give you eternal life and power equal to mine.
But you need to give me something in exchange.
What do you want in exchange?
You. Everything about you.
From this day forth...
you shall never, ever feel kindness in your heart.
Nor will you feel happiness, peace, or satisfaction.
There's only hatred in your heart!
You'll no longer remember your lover, your people, friends, and child.
Or even...
yourself.
You'll only remember that you're my slave.
But I can promise you in the God of Desolation's name.
Those mortals who once hurt you and your people
shall kneel and cry before your child's horsewhip
along with their descendants.
However... they will not be forgiven.
Lava shall engulf them.
Their bodies and souls will burn in the fires of Hell.
Until all turns into ash.
You...
Are you willing?
I am.
Quickly! Put out the fire!
Put out the fire!
Your Majesty, why would you ask to live in the Celestial Prison?
I often have nightmares at night these days.
I run off randomly whenever I'm in a dream.
I'm afraid of doing anything scary.
It's more reassuring to stay here.
If there's anything to discuss, let Yu Xin Ji make the decisions.
Come to me only if he really can't decide.
Yes.
You're thinking that the Duan Empire is unfortunate to have a crazy emperor.
- We wouldn't dare think so. - We wouldn't dare think so.
Get up.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Open the door. - Yes.
Do you have goldlings on you?
I'm not a wealthy person.
How could I have goldlings on me?
Take it.
Have Yu Xin Ji bring me some goldlings.
Yes.
I wonder how long I can keep this monster in my mind at bay.
I'll hold him off as long as I can.
Go and eat it.
What's the matter?
You're so unhappy?
I've solved it.
I've found out where the Sovereign Seal is.
Where is it?
I'll draw you a map later.
The restoration of the Wise now lies in the hands of Mister Ha.
Mister?
Just call me Ha, like you did, so I'll feel more at ease.
Can you start drawing the map now?
Would you like to know what the coded passage said
about the intriguing trait of the Sovereign Seal?
Will this slow you down on drawing the map?
Forget it if you're not interested.
Can you tell stories while you draw?
It's a stone that fell from the sky!
8,000 star years ago
there was a huge battle between the God of Ruins and God of Desolation.
The God of Ruins crumbled into pieces.
His whereabouts are unknown.
The God of Desolation's spirit is dead.
But his body turned into the lands.
Living creatures were grown from it.
That was how Novoland was created.
That was how the six tribes of Novoland and creatures came into existence.
This stone fell from the sky after the battle
when the God of Desolation became the lands.
It's a piece of the God of Ruins.
It carries the God of Ruins' spirit.
It seeks peace and eternity.
It has the power to stabilize all forces.
Therefore, it was made into the Sovereign Seal
by the royal dynasty who pursued stability.
They hoped that by possessing it, they could claim sovereignty forever.
Sadly, that was no more than a silly dream.
A stone is still a stone even if it's carved into a seal.
Since then, the dynasties of the Humans started alternating.
Zhao, Xi, Yin, Xie, Ben, Cheng, Duan.
All seven dynasties.
Not one royal family gets to truly own sovereignty and peace forever.
I've been talking for ages, but are you even listening?
This is where the Sovereign Seal is hidden?
Exactly!
This is...
This is the royal city of the Humans!
You really are quite a glutton.
"Upon gods' will, forever prosper."
This is good jade.
Throughout my years in the palace
I've never seen jade so soft and beautiful.
Sadly, half of it is missing.
Yu Xin Ji.
Are you here to bring me goldlings?
I'm here to make good on my promise.
What promise?
Don't pretend to forget it.
I've told you.
If you grant the Charmers a peaceful sanctuary
I'll search for Pan Xi for you.
Although you've forgotten your promise
I haven't.
Pan Xi is already dead.
The legend you told me was just a lie.
This flower...
It's called Mandaraka.
It's the twin of the red flower, Manjusaka.
Destiny binds them in mind, but they are meant to be forever apart.
Mandaraka can only bloom in the most beautiful place in the world.
Your Charmer will develop a physical form in the place where mandarakas blossom.
If she succeeds in doing so
she can have blood and flesh like we both do.
Then she can stay by your side forever.
Where is that most beautiful place?
If you're willing to come with me, I'll take you there.
Take me there.
What about your sovereignty?
My sovereignty?
The world should belong to everyone.
Why would I care?
Only Pan Xi can point me in the right direction
and spend a lifetime with me.
Let's go.
The battles at Shang Yang Pass and Heng Yu Pass are tense.
The Soarers, the Oceanides, and the Wise are all eager to prance.
I'd like to suggest Your Majesty sign an amnesty decree.
Exonerate the Muru family.
Bring them back from exile to the royal court to manage the army.
Master Eunuch, when His Majesty returns, please hand this report to him.
Wei Ping...
Hardly has one crisis subsided when another rises.
Master Tan, aren't you afraid to get into trouble?
Why would it even matter if General Yu signs the decree?
His Majesty acts according to General Yu's intentions anyway.
Why would you bother putting up such a pretense?
The emperor is the ruler.
A subject remains a subordinate.
Aren't you willing to do anything for your master, the Muru family?
- Master! - Master!
- General! - General!
Muyun Sheng is one of the Charmers.
He's willful and carefree.
He can't be regarded as a normal person!
Who knows when he will return?
Once Great General crosses the sea and arrives in Shang Prefecture
it will all be too late!
General!
Please save the entire Muru family!
General!
- General! - General!
What is the mission of the Muru Cavalry?
Say it!
Uphold law and order!
Protect the Muyun sovereignty!
Your Majesty!
The soldiers of Muru aren't disloyal subjects!
Your subject, Yu Xin Ji...
will await Your Majesty's return.
Huan Sea is right ahead.
You won't feel as bad once we cross the sea.
The dead can't be upset.
Another word of nonsense from you and I'll rip your mouth out.
Even valiant men like the Murus ended up like this.
You still think of fighting?
How impressive it is!
I dare you to say it again.
Save your breath.
Reserve your energy to fight off the Giants.
However, a cripple might be the first to die in Shang Prefecture anyway.
It's you again, you jerk!
How many times do I have to beat you up
to make you remember that you can't see me?
There are battles all along the way.
The eight lords of Han Prefecture are fighting against
one another for military power.
All the common folks have escaped.
I can't find any food so just make do with these fruits.
Throw them out.
- Father-- - Throw them out!
Han Jiang has been with us the whole time.
This wasn't his fault.
You don't like fruit?
I'll look for some other food.
Warriors must eat in order to keep their physique.
Leave now.
Stop following us.
Your medication.
Can't you tell that your son is running a fever?
All lives and deaths are destined.
You should never choose death if you have a chance to live!
The Muru Clan has always been loyal.
We'd rather die standing than survive on our knees.
Your reputation is tainted with the conviction of killing the emperor.
I, Muru Shuo, will never have anything to do with you.
I didn't!
If people said that you killed the emperor
then you did.
That is how fragile reputation is.
Are you going to explain it to every person in the world?
Can you explain it clearly?
Is reputation that important?
You grew up in the streets, so it's normal that you don't understand.
You're only insulting me to make me leave.
You don't want me to be punished along with you.
If I leave now
my mind will never be at peace for the rest of my life.
I'll only feel inferior and guilty.
It's not your surname that I'm after.
I just want to make myself feel better.
Since it's not my surname that you want
why would you bother explaining it to me?
Since we are no more than strangers
why should I help you feel at peace with yourself?
Han Jiang bids you all farewell!
May Great General be safe along the way!
Get some sleep.
Father...
Do you really bear a grudge against Han Jiang?
Actually...
no one believes that Han Jiang killed the emperor.
Instead of saying that he's brought disaster upon our family
it's actually our family who put him in this predicament.
There are so many officials in the royal court
who are out to find opportunities to drag the Muru family down.
Han Jiang, he...
He was just caught off guard on his own.
He has never been protected by our family.
That was how those villains were able to make use of him.
Father...
We'll keep as many of us alive as we can.
Father--
All right now, get some sleep.
You have kept Han Jiang in your heart.
Get some sleep now.
Come! Wake up! Wake up!
Here, get up!
Get up quickly!
Quickly! Wake up!
Here, get up!
Hurry up!
Get up and set out!
Quickly!
Get up and move!
Little rascal!
When did you get here?
Get lost!
If you don't take me with you, I'll report to your supervisor
that you've let a Muru prisoner run free!
- His surname isn't Muru. - My surname is Muru!
Muru is no longer a surname that represents pride and honor.
Moreover, in the many years to come
this surname will be associated with failure and disgrace.
It will be mocked and reproached.
Why would you be in a hurry to acknowledge it?
What's not to acknowledge?
I am Muru Han Jiang!
When I escaped
I heard that you were convicted of killing the emperor.
But I didn't know where to find you.
I later heard that the Muru family was exiled to Shang Prefecture.
You have to go past here to get to Huan Sea.
I thought that you'd surely be with your family.
I've been waiting here for you for days.
I finally get to see you.
Su Yu Ning, I will return.
There are battles everywhere.
A young lady shouldn't be out and about.
Head home quickly now.
If anyone bullies you, note down their names.
I'll teach them a lesson when I return.
You must return.
I'll be waiting for you.
Don't bother waiting.
I've always been very spontaneous.
I act on a spur of a moment.
I'll visit you when I want to.
Every word that you say now... I'll remember it well.
Then I won't feel lonely while I wait for you.
I'll feel as if you're right by my side, talking to me.
If you wish to leave now
I'll help you get away when it gets dark later.
Stay and live your life well.
This is also better for the Muru family.
Han Jiang, I just want to hear it from you.
Su Yu Ning...
Listen to me very carefully.
These are the most serious words I will ever say to you.
Don't wait for me.
I've never fallen for you.
Those promises I made about protecting you
were nothing more than boasting.
Men always like to boast to women.
They forget right away.
They never take it to heart.
You really mean it?
I mean it.
I don't believe you.
My father and older brothers are all right here.
Please conduct yourself with respect.
I already told you that I don't believe you!
Go away! Let me be!
Han Jiang!
I'll wait for you!
Throughout my life...
what I've feared the most was upsetting her...
and making her feel insecure.
But if she stays with me, she will have to live with all of that.
I'd rather that she didn't like me.
If we can make it back...
you must go to her.
Otherwise...
I won't let you off.
Neither will I.
I won't let you off either.
Is she still looking at you?
Why would you do this to yourself?
Good medication is always bitter.
Mister Qin, you should escape quickly!
Call me Qin Yu Feng.
Arch Prince Jing and Arch Prince Qing's armies are already at Tian Qi City.
General Yu Xin Ji is locking down the city in resistance!
If we get locked within the city, we'll either starve to death
or get beaten to death by the rebels when they barge in.
The Great Duan Empire is doomed.
You should escape now.
Yue Li hasn't fully recovered yet.
The journey will be bumpy along the way. I wonder if she's fine with it.
Is this the time to worry about that silly lady?
She's smashed her head silly.
She's just like a child now!
Don't say such nonsense.
Yue Li understands.
Yue Li, would you like to leave Tian Qi City?
If we leave, life might be hard.
I'll do what you say.
We'll go wherever you decide.
Sure, we'll pack up and leave together.
Mister Qin, are you really going to take her with you?
There are soldiers everywhere.
We can't even tell which ones serve the arch princes.
There are bandits everywhere!
Even good people can't survive.
You're crippled in one leg and now she's tagging along.
It will be even harder for you to survive.
If I don't take her with me, am I to watch her die?
Brother Qin, if one day I miss Tian Qi City
will you bring me back here?
Certainly.
What did you just call me?
Brother Qin.
Prince Han...
I will safeguard Tian Qi City for you.
I will safeguard the Great Duan Empire.
Until you return.
Lock down the city!
Yes!
300 years ago
the ancestors of Muyun and Muru started out from Han Prefecture.
War broke out across Novoland.
In the end, the Great Duan Empire was founded.
Now, I shall lead everyone to set out from Han Prefecture again
in the steps of our forefathers.
We will take down those treacherous rebels in the royal court!
Restore the glory of both our family crests in Novoland!
Yes!
One Yufei Star up high in the sky.
Two brothers turn from friends to foes.
Three men vie against one another, but who benefits?
Four split in disunity and war begins.
Five cover their eyes and go about their lives.
Six tribes fight for the throne and thrust Novoland into chaos!
Where could the most beautiful place be in such a world?
The Muru family can only be pardoned for our sins
if we build a city of Humans here in Shang Prefecture.
Only then can we return to Zhong Prefecture.
I must let the Muru family return to Zhong Prefecture
with our heads held up high.
Not only so...
I'll have the Royal Muyun family...
pay the price for what they did to the Muru family.
