[Fighter of the Destiny]
[Episode 37]
- Emperor Bai is in danger. - Father?
I can detect that Copper Umbrella nearby.
The situation will be reversed as long as we find the Copper Umbrella.
Let's go
Master, what do we do now?
Want to get hold of the Copper Umbrella? Not so easy.
Once we kill Emperor Bai, this Chen Changsheng won't live any longer.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Subbers of the Destiny @ Viki
We haven't seen each other after so many years. Emperor Bai is still graceful as ever.
So it's the Demon Clan's military adviser that has arrived.
Meeting an old acquaintance, I should entertain you two well.
Emperor Bai's secret guards live on pills since they were young.
Their bodies are strong as iron, invulnerable to any weapons.
They protect their lord with full devotion and are unswervingly loyal.
I don't know if this legend is true or not.
True or not, military adviser you can test to your limit.
Military advisor...
There is no harm. It's almost time.
You actually cut off the Destined Star, certainly a good scheme.
The night of the full moon is when you White Tiger Clan's spiritual sense is most fragile.
With the addition of the Destined Star cut off, the nascent soul within your bodies will lose control.
To suppress these violent nascent souls, how much power do you have left for fighting?
You are indeed Emperor Bai. The roar of the white tiger can drive all the evil out
Only, what will happen to the uncontrolled nascent soul in your own body?
To control it should be a hundred times harder for you than for those secret guards.
Though it's a bit of a pity, but the bright moon is in the sky and the emperor's star is verging towards the horizon.
Now, you and I are cut off from our Destined Stars.
I'd like to see what an Emperor Bai without the supernatural power is going to depend on to fight me.
Tonight is the time you'll fall from the sky.
Okay. Then let me have a good meeting today
with the Demon Clan's military adviser.
It's over there
Why is it you again? You are truly annoying.
Today is a crucial moment of the downfall of your Beast Clan.
Looks like, you won't be able to be the Princess anymore.
Thirty-Six, you go first. I will block them with Luo Luo.
Okay.
Go!
Empress, what should we do?
Emperor Bai with an isolated Destined Star is just so-so.
The White Tiger flag. You even bring out your most effective weapon.
It appears that Emperor Bai wants to imprison me in your palace.
Under this circumstances, you should not blame me for being a sledgehammer.
Even if I only have half of my power left, you cannot kill me.
Tang Hai! What are you doing?
Oldest brother? I never thought you'd be able to find us here.
Then it seems, you're not that foolish.
You actually lied to me
and colluded with those people from the Demon Clan again. Was the lesson last time not enough?
So what if I lied to you?
So what again if I colluded?
I'm doing all this to revive the Tang family. As long as that's not fake then it's enough.
You have no right to talk about the Tang family with me.
You previously made an oath, do you still remember?
Of course, I remember.
Oath? Only a fool like you would remember!
If I didn't get back the Copper Umbrella, how could the Demon Clan possibly help me revive the Tang family?
As long as our Tang family can become the number one family again,
what harm is there in me lying a little?
Stop being foolish okay? Is being used by the Demon Clan once not enough?
Give the Copper Umbrella to me!
Don't even think about it.
Get him!
Where is he? Tang Tang!
Where is he? Hurry up and search!
Don't!
Don't! Tang Tang!
Give the umbrella back to me! Give it back!
Where are you? Come out! Come out!
I can sense my Destined Star.
Thirty-Six has retrieved the Copper Umbrella.
Withdraw!
This is...
It's the Destined Star. I can feel it again.
Bow!
Military Adviser! Be careful!
Frosting Arrow!
Jade Smashing Arrow!
Black Robe has always been full of devilish tricks
and masters a variety of magic as well as the lost knowledge.
If we want him to be dead, it will not be an easy task.
Thirty-Six!
Are you okay?
I've wronged you this time.
I lied to you guys and gave Tang Hai the Copper Umbrella.
I'm so stupid. I actually thought he would rebuild the Tang family.
There is nothing wrong with believing in family.
Instead, cheating his own family is the flagitious thing.
This wasn't your fault. Why do you think about this so much?
- Where is Tang Hai? - I hit him and he went flying.
Regarding to what happened to him, I don't know.
I don't want to know, either.
That's fine. Let's go back.
Let's go.
Little Rong'er, tell me. Is it really impossible to change destiny?
In the end, I am unable to run away from the destiny of death.
Is there something on your mind?
Your Majesty.
When I was your age, I never had so many concerns.
In front of destiny, no matter how much you think,
often your final decision may not turn out to be the most correct one.
Just follow your heart.
I understand now. Thank you for you advise.
Changsheng, I just received news that Xu Yourong is locked up in the Heavenly Scrolls Tomb.
She got locked up?
To the public it is because she released fugitives,
but in reality it is because of something of yours.
Do you mean... the Star Map?
Yes.
Her Majesty has always considered that Zhou Dufu's Star Map is the key to control the Star Formation.
So, over these years, she has always been looking for it.
If you do not give the Star Map to her, I don't think that she will let her go no matter what.
Her Majesty has always thought highly of Yourong.
Is it worthy to do this way just for a Star Formation?
Star Formation?
That is an incomparable treasure Zhou Dufu left behind to fight against the Demon Clan.
But at the same time, it is the most dangerous trap.
People who want to control it will usually unwittingly be controlled by it.
I already reminded Her Majesty of this a long time ago.
But she has never believed it.
Can the Star Map really control the Star Formation completely?
How would I know? Who can guess Zhou Dufu's thoughts?
Can you?
Originally, I didn't plan on telling you the news about Xu Yourong.
If you guys continue to stay here, I can protect you guys.
But it is hard to say if you guys can return to the capital.
I treasure your help to the Beast Clan, so what you do now will depend on your own choices.
Your Majesty, the words you just spoke are very instructive.
Sometimes, thinking to much does have no use.
It is better to follow your heart.
I have only one choice
All right. You don't need to say anything.
Pity for my silly daughter.
Need to bring this.
These treasures need to be brought along.
Psychic Elixirs, our Beast Clan's treasure. This should be brought along as well.
Almost there.
Bringing so many things... I actually only have less than 1 month before I forget Teacher.
What should I do then?
Will I continue to live in the capital?
After you become the Goddess, all these memories will disappear.
Without love, all the most beautiful memories will disappear as well,
so I think you should leave.
Spend the last few moments next to your loved one.
Daughter.
- Mother... I... - You don't need to say it.
I know what you want to say.
But this time, I cannot agree.
You will stay in the Beast Clan.
Mother.
Luo Luo, I'm begging you.
Can you be considerate of a mother's feeling?
I don't want my daughter to stay in the painful memories.
I know.
Memories are fragments of the body,
especially the beautiful memories.
If one wants to take them away from the body, how cruel would it be?
I want my daughter's memories to stay in the most beautiful moments.
But Mother,
as long as I can be with Teacher,
whenever and wherever, every moment,
everything could be the most beautiful thing.
There are too many dangers surrounding Chen Changsheng.
Daughter, I can't predict the future.
I can't protect you. Do you know?
But Mother, I am already grown up.
I can protect myself.
Luo Luo, this is the last month.
Can you be here with your mother and father? Okay?
I am sorry, Mother.
I do hope you can forgive me.
I promise you in my next life,
I will surely keep Mother and Father company.
Guard the whole clan well.
Take full responsibility as a princess of the Beast Clan.
But mother,
it is the last month.
I want to stay with Teacher.
Regardless, if it's living but separated or a farewell due to the death,
I will never regret.
Bitter or sweet,
I want to taste it myself.
I promise you.
Promise you.
Thank you, Mother.
[Peace Forever Palace]
Your Majesty, we have to go now.
Changsheng, keep in mind that a real man has to have some dominance.
As long as you are open and aboveboard, it's no need to care what other people think of you.
Don't wait until the bully threatens you, then you figure it out.
You are so content with plain life. That's why you're constantly trapped by somebody.
Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty.
Chen Changsheng, if you let down Luo Luo, I'll surely kill you.
How dare you!
if you do, I will eat you first.
All right, all right.
Daughter, come here.
Remember what Father said. No matter when,
the City Of Emperor Bai will always be your home.
I know, Father.
Go now.
Don't worry.
Father, Mother, we will leave now.
Go.
My formation.
For you, all my efforts will be paid off.
Your Majesty, the Beast Clan sent news.
Say it.
The Demon Clan's attempted assassination of Emperor Bai has failed. Also...
Chen Changsheng and the others have left the Beast Clan and will return tomorrow.
He is finally coming back.
I get it. You are dismissed.
Yes.
Rest assured.
I will fix you very soon.
By that time, my Zhou Empire will stand strong and unified and will last forever.
Brother Qiushan! Brother Qiushan!
What is in such a hurry?
Have you heard the news?
Heard what?
Chen Changsheng is coming back.
So what?
Once he is back,
Her Majesty will surely ask him about the incident in the Zhou Garden. When that time comes...
Have you ever heard of the saying?
What saying?
Three people together is as strong as a tiger. Public clamor can confound right and wrong.
A person being accused by eveyone will die from non-natural causes.
Die from non-natural causes?
I see.
Go.
All right.
Brother Qiushan, what happened?
I am fine. Just my previous injury relapsed.
You go your way. No need for you to worry.
- Then I'm leaving. - Leave.
Have you heard? The Saintess Xu Yourong is locked in the Heavenly Scrolls Tomb by Her Majesty.
Oh, yeah, yeah. They say it is a introspection, but it's more of a house arrest.
I heard that she released the Demon spy Chen Changsheng and fought with the Empress.
But her not being sent to the Imperial jail, probably was because of her Phoenix blood.
Otherwise...
Dragon and Phoenix, a haven-made match. There is no one in the capital that knows this.
And now you see. Even the story teller doesn't know how to arrange the story. So ironic.
Exactly. Unexpectedly, Xu Yourong actually ruined her future for Chen Changsheng.
That's right. Back in the day the Xu family was do defiant because of a Phoenix-born child.
And now the expectation of the whole family is ruined.
This is nothing.
Don't you know Her Majesty's temperament?
One day, if Her Majesty gets angry, it is possible for her to destroy their whole family.
Shh, be quite.
Okay, okay. Come on, Cheers.
Take your way.
Seven-Colored Dandelion, so rare.
Of course. This is our unique wishing flower in the Beast Clan Grass Ocean.
It can remember the people's wishes.
When the wind blows it away, and its seeds bloom again,
this shows that your wish will soon come true.
Here you can have it, Luo Luo.
During the last meteor shower, I already made one.
If you wish a few more times, that is like extra insurance. Right?
All right.
How are the Demon Clan's troops in ambush along the borders?
After the failure of Emperor Bai's assassination, the Demon Clan have withdrew their troops to the borders.
Only our Zhou Empire's troops are still there.
Do they still think they can bully us because of lacking forces?
Once I repair the formation, no one can get away.
Also, Your Majesty...
Say it if you have something to say.
Chen Changsheng is going to arrive at the capital soon.
He fled with incrimination. I'm afraid...
Chen Changsheng is the person that I want.
Before I see him, he cannot even loose a hair.
I understand.
You are dismissed.
Your Majesty.
Is there more?
Although the formation is important,
you also need to take care of yourself.
Miss!
Miss, are you all right?
Shuang'er, I am fine.
Greetings, Father.
You don't need to be so polite.
How did you get in Heavenly Scrolls Tomb?
At the war at Zhou Garden, the Human Clan suffered great losses
with nearly seventy percent of elites of Erebus-insight Stage.
Her Majesty has given a special decree that Heavenly Scrolls Tomb is fully open to elites above Astral-Projection Stage.
I asked her for a favor and got in.
The air in Heavenly Scrolls Tomb is full of vigor. Even if I do not eat or drink, I will not feel hungry.
Father need not worry.
Rong'er, you used to cultivate yourself in Saintess Peak. After returning to the capital, you always live in Vihara.
It's not easy to see you. Now you are in Heavenly Scrolls Tomb.
As a father, how can I not come and visit you?
I was unable to care for my parents for so many years. As a daughter, I feel so guilty.
Why mention all of this?
If you're looking for someone to blame, then blame me. I chose a different path for you when you were a child.
I have regretted many times
about letting you become a Saintess. I would rather you be a girl with no worries.
I'm sorry.
I wasn't able to fulfill your wish.
I wasn't able to bring fame upon the family.
Sorry for disappointing you.
Let's not talk about that. Right now, I don't want any fame right now..
I just want you to be happy, and safe and sound, which is the best thing.
I have never been more safer than now. You can rest assured, Father.
How can I be rest assured?
Since Chen Changsheng came into the Xu family, I have never once felt assured.
From Ivy League to Imperial Examination then to Zhou Garden, this Chen Changsheng wants to pierce the sky of the capital.
- Father! - And now he has implicated you in Heavenly Scrolls Tomb.
- If this continues, I fear our Xu Family... - I won't place the Xu family in danger.
How can that not happen?
This Chen Changsheng is a spy of the Demon Clan!
Chen Changsheng definitely isn't the spy of the Demon Clan.
I hope Father won't be fooled by rumors.
Rong'er, how could you remain unrepentant till now?
All over the world now, how many pairs of eyes are watching him and want to harm him?
Rong'Er, when he comes back to the capital, do you think Her Majesty will let him go?
Are you saying that Changsheng is coming back?
It is still just a rumor.
Someone let the message out to make things against him.
My daughter, wake up!
Father, if you've been given another chance to make a choice,
would you still send me to Saintess Peak?
I'm afraid that you will still insist on it because all this time,
you wish that the Xu family can have rights in hand and become a wealthy family in the Empire.
Same for me.
If it all started over again,
I would still choose Chen Changsheng.
I'll never change for a lifetime.
- Rong'er... - It's getting late.
Father, please leave.
Your mother really worries about you.
Miss, these are the things Lady has prepared for you.
She enjoined you to not catch a cold.
Shuang'er, can you help me do something?
Look, Teacher, it's the capital! We are back!
Can you not be so excited? Did you forget how we got out?
We didn't return with victory.
Teacher, please don't care about that.
It's fine. I've always been misunderstood.
I'm used to it now.
It's just that the situation for Yourong must be difficult. We should find a way to save her quickly.
Chen Changsheng!
Chen Changsheng.
Shuang'er?
Why are you here?
My miss is shut inside Heavenly Scrolls Tomb.
But there is nothing serious now.
She wanted me to tell you something.
What? Tell me quickly.
She said the stuff in your mind must not be given to Her Majesty.
What is in your mind?
Also, someone spread rumors. All the people in the capital now want to kill you.
You must be careful.
I see. Thank you, Shuang'er.
I need to hurry back. If Old Master knows I'm out, things will get ugly.
Thirty-Six, Xuanyuan Po, you two return to Guojiao Academy.
Luo Luo, you return to Herbs Garden with Qi Jian.
We shall go our separate ways from now on.
Why?
I have already died once. I'm unafraid to die for another time.
I just don't want to bear these trumped-up charges
and implicate all of you.
Mister, please don't speak like that. We are not scared! Really.
It's not fear. I just don't want anymore to sacrifice meaninglessly.
Besides, if I do encounter troubles, it will be easier to coordinate with you outside.
- But Teacher... - Luo Luo, let's listen to Changsheng.
At this time, we need tactics. We should not add other troubles to him.
Teacher, you must take care of yourself.
Okay.
Chen Changsheng!
I have not seen you for ages.
Chen Changshen, you are the spy of the Demon Clan. How dare you still return?
Who is the spy? You know that clearly in your hearts.
Anyway, there's no use in discussing it.
The spy of the Demon Clan, everyone has the right to kill him.
Qiushan Jun!
Qiushan Jun, speak nicely.
Chen Changsheng, Her Majesty has commanded that you must come to the palace and meet her now.
Chen Changsheng greets Your Majesty.
Chen Changsheng, you actually have the guts to return.
Yourong is suffering; of course, I had to return.
Your Majesty, Changsheng has born the trumped-up charges. Changsheng requests for a chance to speak for myself.
No, it's not necessary.
- Your Majesty... - I have received a letter from Emperor Bai to be your guarantee.
Besides just due to a ray of Demon Intent in your body,
it is not reasonable to assume that you are a spy.
Your Majesty, what about the testimony from the spiritual sense of Junior Brother Guan?
The trick of the Demon Clan is cunning.
Isn't it possible that this ray of spiritual sense is under control?
I hope Your Majesty still investigates it thoroughly.
All right, that's enough.
I have more important matters that I must personally ask Chen Changsheng.
All of you can leave now.
- Yes. - Yes.
Your Majesty, Changsheng wants to ask for mercy for Yourong.
Your Majesty?
Are... you all right?
Follow me.
This is the Star Formation. It is indeed magnificent.
Yes. This is the nation-guarding artifact of our Zhou Empire, the Star Formation.
It's because of it that we can resist the Demon Clan and ensure peace amongst our people.
It's strange.
It seems that I have seen this formation before.
Of course, you have seen it.
It's just that you were very young at the time.
Perhaps it's from that time,
that protecting this formation has become your destiny.
Protect the formation?
Me?
Yes. It is you.
But why?
Because...
you are the Crown Prince of the Zhou Empire,
my son.
Me?
I'm your son?
When it's close to me, it will shine.
Only the blood of my son will react like this.
How is this possible?
I have been an orphan since young.
I had no parents.
If I had parents, they couldn't be Your Majesty.
There must be something wrong.
I hope Your Majesty to ascertain it.
Changsheng will take my leave now.
Stop. Raise your right hand.
This scar was left that year when
I had to sacrifice you.
At that time, you were not even one-year-old.
You suffered a lot to protect the Zhou Empire the moment you were born.
Your destiny was predestined from that moment.
Your Majesty, I am just myself.
There is nothing predestined.
I don't want to be some Crown Prince.
I am only Chen Changsheng.
Shang Xingzhou is your master, right?
Yes.
That year, he was the one that took you away from me.
All these years, I have been looking for him.
Who would have thought that he would actually send you back to the capital?
Master... took me away?
For all these years, I've asked myself almost every night, "Why did I do what I did at that time?"
"Is my child doing well?"
"Will he be thinking about his mom?"
"If he knew what had happened at that time,
would he blame me?"
Your Majesty.
Are you still calling me "Your Majesty?"
Of course. In your eyes,
I am just Your Majesty.
I have thought for countless times. "If one day we could meet,
what would it be like?"
"What would we talk about?"
But it never occurred to me that
the situation would be like this.
Can...
- Can I... - Your Majesty, please stop talking.
Can... Can I see Yourong?
You want to see Xu Yourong?
It's okay if you want to see Xu Yourong.
As long as you give me one thing.
The thing Your Majesty wants is the Star Map, right?
Right.
If you give me the Star Map, then you can see Xu Yourong.
She said the stuff in your mind must not be given to Her Majesty.
What's in your mind?
I'm sorry.
I can't give Your Majesty the Star Map yet.
Say it again?
I cannot give the Star Map to Your Majesty.
You see, this Star Formation is on the brink of collapsing.
I have drained all of my energy, and now I can barely sustain it.
Now, my only hope is to obtain the Star Map in your mind.
But you say
that you are not willing to give it to me.
