"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 35"
I'm a reasonable person.
I have two choices for you.
Either you sever ties with the Dong Ting remnants...
and punish them on your own,
or bear the punishment on behalf of them...
to atone for your mother's sins.
I...
I'm at fault.
I'm willing to exchange my life for another.
Run Yu!
Good.
You know the rules.
I can never betray my mother and my mother's tribe anymore.
I'm willing to bear all the consequences.
Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.
Thunder God, your Heavenly Thunder,
Lightning Goddess's Infinite Lightning,
and also my Lotus Nether Flames,
even Qiong Qi couldn't endure it in the past.
I wonder if the Night Immortal can...
endure this extreme punishment today.
Please punish me, mother.
Fine.
Thunder God, Lightning Goddess.
Execute!
Your Majesty!
This is the Highest Palace.
And His Highness is His Majesty's son...
Do it!
Big brother!
I thought that he's calm...
and different from Xu Feng.
Who knows he's also impatient.
Siblings like broken pieces.
Body like the dead.
Furiously the nether fire burns.
Surging waves of bloody sea.
Sobbing on the tomb.
Away from the empty bones.
Mother!
This is so I heard.
Bow down to summon the Bhagava.
Don't you dare to slack off!
Run Yu!
- Big brother! - Run Yu!
- Wake up! - Wake up, Run Yu!
- Wake up, big brother! - Wake up!
Wake up!
Empress, you're a witch!
I was the one who harmed your son!
Come at me!
She's so ignorant and neglectful.
Big brother!
Your Majesty.
There's no Glass Flame in the Heavenly Thunder and Lightning Punishment.
If you use the Glass Flame,
the Night Immortal will die.
Don't do that!
Then, should I keep the Glass Flame for you two?
What did the Night Immortal do...
to make Your Majesty execute such heavy punishment on him?
Water Immortal,
you've harboured the criminals.
I was merciful enough for letting you off.
Don't go overboard.
What's with murdering the Heavenly Emperor's offspring then?
Run Yu ignored my orders first.
He agreed to take on the blame for 30,000 remnants.
How does that concern me?
Enough!
- Respects to Your Majesty. - Respects to Your Majesty.
Come.
Send out my decree at the Southern Heavenly Gates.
The principal culprit Su Li is unforgivable,
she's been executed.
Water tribe in Dong Ting Lake was threatened by her,
so it's reasonable.
Since it's the first offence,
I'll exclusively pardon everyone.
Hope that you will all start afresh...
and stay loyal to the Heaven Realm.
If the offence is made again, no one will be spared.
Your wish is my command.
Your Majesty is the good guy now.
Night Immortal.
I, on behalf...
of the 36,400 survivors of Dong Ting Lake,
thank Your Majesty's grace.
Will mother please order to release?
Heavenly Empress,
clear up the mess.
The Heavenly Punishment is more torturing than being dismembered.
It's harder to heal too.
If I was you,
I would rather break my own guts...
and end myself once and for all.
Rest assured, mother.
I will not die.
I'll stay alive and healthy...
and see that you...
fulfil your Supreme Immortal Oath...
by releasing everyone...
and no turning back.
Big brother!
- Your Highness! - Run Yu!
He's not going to make it.
Mother...
I'm so cold.
So cold.
Your Highness.
Brother Run Yu.
Mother...
So hot...
His Highness once said...
if someone loses too much blood and gets too cold,
one's internal organs will feel like they're burning.
Mother.
Your Majesty.
You've promised to let me handle the matter.
But you've softened up at the last minute.
You are the good guy now.
I have to be the total bad guy.
If you continue to pursue this,
and make everyone angry and mad,
what will it benefit the both of us?
Who is to blame?
You have always been too tolerant of him,
then he returned the favour by inflicting damage to us.
He doesn't even acknowledge me now,
he ran to his evil mother instead.
After fighting by Dong Ting Lake,
he's even protecting the remnants.
If this goes on,
he might overturn the whole Heaven Realm.
He won't be able to do it while I am here.
There are differences in their classes.
Who to protect and who to neglect between Run Yu and Xu Feng,
I have my own mind.
I'll remember Your Majesty's words.
And I hope you'll never forget.
Your Highness.
You're finally awake.
Did she release them?
Don't you care about your own life anymore?
I've promised mother...
to protect Li Er.
There are so many Li Er in Dong Ting Lake.
That Li Er from Li Marsh before...
had stayed under someone else's roof for few thousand years.
I don't want them to make the same mistake again.
Night Immortal, you've put yourself in other peoples' shoes,
it's indeed a blessing for water tribe of Dong Ting Lake.
Immortal.
You're hurt badly.
Hurry and lay down.
Immortal,
I have a small request.
My powers are limited...
and I can't fight the Heavenly Empress.
Please be kind and merciful...
and please take care...
of the homeless water tribe.
Rest assured.
I will do my best.
After what happened at Dong Ting Lake,
I've decided to fight with Heavenly Empress till the end.
Thank you, Immortal.
Kuang Lu.
Immortal.
Please don't tell anyone about my injury,
especially Mi Er.
I don't want her to be worried.
And I hope...
I hope she never sees me...
in such a mess.
Promise me.
Don't grieve for me.
Rou Rou!
Rou Rou! Rou Rou!
Rou Rou!
I will find the culprit...
and avenge you.
Pick an auspicious date after 3 months...
for Jin Mi and Run Yu's wedding.
Keep calm.
How many time did I teach you?
You've never understood.
Now that you and the Heavenly Empress are on bad terms,
this has put me in a difficult situation.
The Heavenly Empress might have gone overboard,
but she's doing it under my orders.
Rebelling against her means that you rebel against me.
Regarding everything that had happened in the Highest Palace...
just take it as a lesson.
I understand.
I've pardoned all the water tribe of Dong Ting Lake.
Today's matter coincides with our reputation.
The fact that you received Heavenly Thunder and Lightning punishment...
on behalf of the remnants in Dong Ting...
mustn't be mentioned in the future. Understand?
Yes.
Good.
Make a Supreme Immortal Oath.
I swear...
if father and mother never mention about this...
and pursue this,
I'll let this pass...
and never talk about it anymore.
Father.
Is my mother...
Is she really that unforgivable?
This judgement is final.
No use bringing it up again.
As a supreme immortal,
never cling to one thing or emotion.
You have more to learn.
Rest assured...
that your mother's wrongdoings have nothing to do with you.
I've just never thought that...
you would go against the Heavenly Empress.
I know I'm wrong.
I was anxious and didn't think much.
I didn't rush there right away...
because I was testing you.
I never knew that I would earn something from this.
The task to control the Heavenly Empress and the bird tribe...
lies upon you now.
Father.
If I didn't stand up back then,
will you not care about the life of the water tribe?
You're still young.
After living for another ten thousands of years,
then you will understand.
We live long but cultivate longer.
In our eyes,
they are the same as mayflies.
Their life is short and meaningless.
Even if the universe does not have them,
nothing will change.
This is what it meant by the nature's law is merciless.
These million years...
with such long immortality,
have father...
ever felt a sense of empathy?
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth.
The Heavenly Emperor...
is the greatest prisoner...
in the whole universe.
So...
So my birth...
is just a pure conspiracy.
Mother.
I'm the one who made you suffer.
I'm guilty!
No.
It's him.
In this world,
he is the culprit...
to all of this.
In your heart,
there's no such thing about kinship or marriage...
or parenthood.
In your heart,
everyone is just a pawn in your hands.
The nature's law is merciless.
Father,
thanks for the guidance.
Stay alive.
What doesn't kill you...
will make you even stronger.
Where's Mi Er?
She was murmuring about Rou Rou just now.
She should be asleep by now.
How's the Night Immortal?
Old hatred and new vengeance. Catastrophes keep emerging.
No ways to complain about a heart filled with grief.
His hatred to the Heavenly Empress seems to be hard to solve.
What happened today had been contained by His Majesty,
but it's being spread around Heaven Realm.
Her Majesty's actions had caused public outrage.
But the Night Immortal...
hid his intentions and won the fight.
I've always thought that Night Immortal is gentle by nature.
Never thought that he's such a brave man.
He sacrificed himself...
and endured everything.
This magnanimity and spirit...
are hard to achieve.
Her Majesty overly exposed herself.
Extremes will meet.
The situation is changing.
Just wait and see.
Yu LAN.
What are you doing?
What happened?
Sister.
I'm at fault.
I've made a huge mistake.
That day, someone from water tribe of Dong Ting came for you...
to discuss alliance with us to fight against the Heaven Realm.
I was convinced and careless...
by trusting the man's words.
So...
I've told him of Jin Mi's parentage.
What?
Yu LAN!
How can you be so silly?
Jin Mi nearly got killed by Immortality Destructing Arrow...
during her time on earth...
was because of me.
I've divulged her identity.
It's all my fault.
I know that I'm in great sin.
I don't beg for your forgiveness, but I should end myself...
to atone my sins to the late Flora Immortal.
If you die like this,
how will you face her?
But if I live,
how will I face everyone?
Forget it.
I understand your intentions.
You wanted to seek revenge for the late Flora Immortal,
hence the mistake.
But Yu LAN,
since the late Flora Immortal didn't want us to avenge her,
she must've known that vengeance has no end.
She had returned to soil.
The only person she cared about was Jin Mi.
Seeing that you're regretful for what you did,
never mention this again...
and pretend it never happened.
Understood.
Promise me.
We have to all stand together...
and remember the late Immortal's last will...
to protect Jin Mi.
Yes, Sister Zhang.
Fairy Jin Mi.
Now I should call you Immortal Jin Mi.
It's nothing.
Are you here for His Highness?
You must've not heard.
The Heavenly Empress executed...
the biological mother whom His Highness just acknowledged...
on the spot for treason.
Ex... executed?
After his mother passed away,
His Highness never eats or sleeps.
Why don't you talk to him?
He always listens to you.
Alright.
Great Immortal.
Mi Er.
I've heard that your biological mother has passed away.
Though I don't know the whole story,
you are such a kind person,
your biological mother...
must be a gentle and kind woman.
When I had just recalled my childhood,
when I had just found my biological mother,
when I had just acknowledged her,
she was killed right in front of my eyes.
And I couldn't do anything about it.
I've just seen with my own eyes...
as Rou Rou perished in front of me...
for protecting me.
And I couldn't do anything, just like you.
I understand how you feel.
Rou Rou had said something before she perished.
She asked me to let go.
There's a phrase in the mortal world,
the dead is gone, the living lives on.
Your mother wouldn't want to see you like this,
you don't sleep nor eat.
She would never want you to give up on yourself.
The dead is gone and the living lives on.
Yes.
I think...
that's because they loved us so much.
So they couldn't bear to see us get hurt.
Love?
Mi Er.
You seem to be different from before.
What's the difference?
I've heard from Kuang Lu,
father had arranged a date for our wedding.
What is your plan?
If I say no right now,
he will be devastated.
When mother was alive,
I couldn't stay by her side.
Since she's now gone,
I wanted to propose to father...
to mourn her for 3 years.
Mi Er.
Now, you are the most important person to me.
Are you willing to wait for me?
I...
Can you accompany me for a while?
Having you by my side...
is the only time I won't feel hatred and pain.
