[Fighter of the Destiny]
[Episode 50]
Han Qing, why?
This is the spear Emperor Taizong left.
Thank you for giving it to me.
Even though you are the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan, not of our Human Clan,
in my heart,
you value your relationship, loyalty and words more than anyone else.
Well-said.
For the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan who has lived in the Human Clan for years,
where exactly shall his relationship and loyalty land?
It is indeed a problem.
Back then, Taizong Emperor appointed you, but also suspected you.
He wanted to kill you before he died.
It was me, who made you take the oath of the stars to guard this tomb for the rest of your life,
so he let you go.
In the end, it was still me who removed your oath.
I never thought that you would return kindness with ingratitude.
His Holiness has promised me that
if I can assassinate you, he will make me the new Demon's King in three days.
You go ahead and rush back to Xuelao City now.
If a person is still demonic,
he can never remove it in his entire life.
His ambition just needs a little temptation, then it can kindle a great fire.
Shameless!
Even if the previous emperor is dead,
this empire was conquered by him and me.
On every inch of it, there is an inch of brotherly blood.
But you took the throne, above all people;
and I have to be your underling, acting obsequiously and dragging out an ignoble existence.
All these years, do you know how much hatred I've accumulated?
During these years of your ruling,
it was the weakest times for the Demon Clan.
But due to your short-sightedness, you just knew to preserve the strength,
only defended the Demon Clan, and never attacked.
You made the entire Human Clan feel humiliated.
This war today,
will put the entire court in turmoil,
and upset morale of the armies.
If armies of the Demon Clan take advantage to invade southwards, who will come to defend them?
If they ravage our empire and slaughter our civilians, who will bear this responsibility?
You, can you afford that?
It took me twenty years to arrange for today's plot.
Naturally, there will be no misses.
Your Majesty need not worry about that.
Can ambition... really change people into this?
Ambition?
You took away what belonged to me.
Have you been destroyed by ambition? Yes?
Correct. You have said it right.
If back then, you were willing to be an ordinary woman,
perhaps you would be walking on another life path.
I never regret anything that I have done.
Somethings,
if you know, you'll definitely regret them.
For instance, the Chen Changsheng whom you exhausted all your blood and nascent soul to save
is not your biological son.
Are you shocked? Chen Changsheng, this chessman,
I've been arranging it for nineteen years.
In order to confuse you,
I used the blood of Crown Prince Minyang to create such a fetus that year.
How dare you to have done such a thing to defy the way of Heaven!
I asked someone to bring him up,
just to send him back to you some day,
and make you sacrifice everything to rescue him.
That... is the petty kindness of women.
The natural instinct.
This game from the very beginning, you were bound to lose.
You're wrong.
I just wanted to save him.
It had nothing to do with destiny.
It also had nothing to do with whether he was my son or not.
The situation's already like this, why aren't you admitting defeat?
In the end, you didn't even figure out who your real son was.
You actually dared to fight against destiny and fight against me!
I said before
- that I don't regret anything I have ever done. - What?
I used my life to save an irrelevant person.
Does that matter?
I already feel like a mother to this child.
This feeling
cannot be replaced by anything in the world.
You will never understand.
Ridiculous!
You're still so stubborn on the verge of death.
Mother, I came to save you.
Just you?
You cannot withstand even a single blow.
If you want to die for her, I'll just fulfill that wish.
I think it's better to send Her Majesty back to her death as soon as possible.
Changsheng.
Little Black Dragon!
That strike
has used up all my dragon sprite's energy.
From now on, you can only count on yourself.
Damn it. If only I could get out of here.
A spent bullet. Both you and Chen Changsheng have to die!
Stop.
You are really over-confident.
We are stuck in the World of Leaves.
The start of a small world only needs a thought from its user.
We can only get out if this small world breaks.
The World of Leaves' weight is infinite, and can almost crush everything.
Only with the Frosted Spear, can we fight against it.
This is the sword back in Zhou Garden.
Although you can defeat Black Robe, you may be unable to beat me.
To break boundary of the land and waters,
I must gather the tide of the star ocean.
I have been trapped under the Beixin bridge for so long.
Tianhai said unless the Luo river submerges the Beixin bridge;
otherwise, this formation won't break.
Oh no. The Capital is in chaos.
Changsheng will be fine, won't he?
Follow me. Let's go to Guojiao Academy.
Controlling thousands of swords with your spiritual sense.
Once you step into Immoral-Like Stage in the future,
how spectacular this sword dragon will be!
So, I will not let you continue to grow.
How can we go out?
Changsheng has controlled the World of Leaves.
What will happen if you shoot an arrow at that hole?
Try it and we will know.
Little Black Dragon, are you all right?
I'm fine.
But she looks like that she won't make it.
Herbs Garden is my favorite place.
I came out from Herbs Garden back then.
If I can be buried here after death,
it is a good choice.
You will be fine.
In this garden, there are many thousand-years-old herbs.
I can surely cure you with them.
My phoenix blood has been exhausted.
I have no chance to survive.
Even the Star Formation cannot save me.
I spent my whole life on fighting with Heaven to change destiny,
I'm destined to live and die alone.
The only consolation is, my life will continue on through you.
With you around,
my unfulfilled wishes can be accomplished.
I've protected the empire that the previous emperor gave to me.
Now, I pass it on to you.
You didn't let me die; I didn't die.
Now I will not let you die as well.
Promise me, you must survive.
I always think that I'm a sun.
I need to illuminate all the things in the world.
If someone is against me,
he will be incinerated by sunlight, and cannot hide.
But now, I don't want to be a sun.
I only want to be a mother;
a mother who has her child by her side.
I'll always be your child.
I'll always be with you.
I'll take you to Xining Town.
I'll cook and wash for you in person.
My cooking skill is pretty good.
I believe you.
You will definitely make it.
There isn't much time left.
Come.
Come. Ying Xingdao's cultivation is close to Deity-Hidden Stage.
To beat him, you must reach Immortal-Like Stage, then you may be able to win.
I will give you my remaining cultivation, to help you make a breakthrough.
This is a legacy I leave behind.
You need to comprehend it carefully.
No! This is your scanty life.
If you didn't fight against the Demon Clan and change my destiny,
you wouldn't have been injured. High Priest wouldn't have taken advantage of it.
You have given up so much for Zhou Empire.
Listen. Now that I ask you to guard the empire,
I will give my all till my heart ceases to beat.
Now, my hour has come,
but you still have a long way to go.
Having you to continue my life.
What else am I not satisfied with?
To die for the future of our Human Clan,
I won't regret my death.
No! No!
Mother!
If something happens to me,
the Star Formation will completely belong to Ying Xingdao.
Once the Demon Clan invade, our Human Clan won't be able to resist.
To protect all the lives in our empire from being miserable,
you must promise me to get back the Star Formation.
You will be fine.
Zhou Empire needs you. The Human Clan also needs you.
Ying Xingdao thinks that he carries Heaven's will.
But he is only a contemptible scoundrel.
I will watch you
beat Ying Xingdao yourself.
Little Balck Dragon, do you have any other ways?
She is going to die.
I can't help either.
Having imprisoned you for so many years,
I'm really regretful.
I've forgiven you.
Don't worry. I'll take good care of him.
Thank you.
Changsheng, don't be upset.
Everyone will face separation in one's lifetime.
In the past, I didn't cry when the previous emperor left.
Finally, I'm going to meet him now.
We should be happy.
Changsheng!
So many years have passed. I finally came back.
Your Majesty, we finally meet again.
Your Majesty.
Shang Xingzhou.
It's been years since we separated. Things are the same but people have changed.
It's quite good to see you before my death.
I've brought someone for you.
- Yuren. Your Majesty. - Yuren greets Your Majesty.
Kneel!
Hurry up.
She is your mother.
Then who am I?
I thought I was your son.
You are my son.
You are the son that made me feel like being a mother.
It turns out that you had known that I was not your son.
Come here.
Hurry.
You look like your father.
I am sorry,
my son.
And you, Changsheng.
Thank you, my son.
Both of you are my sons.
I eventually had two sons.
Shang Xingzhou, you have nurtured two good boys for me.
The strongest under the stars
finally returns to the star sea.
Please allow me to see Your Majesty off.
You finally are willing to call me Your Majesty
The strongest under the stars
is under the stars after all.
But I want to be
the one who breaks through the starry sky.
Mother!
It's great.
- Royal Father. - You're back.
- I'm back. - It's good that you're back.
How could this happen? The star of the capital falls.
Tianhai actually has fallen.
What happened in the capital?
Could there be a rebellion?
The Demon Clan invaded. Mister sacrificed himself for the formation and almost died.
Her Majesty was badly injured.
But why has she fallen?
Are there other unforeseen accidents?
The Human Clan is in chaos.
The Beast Clan will certainly be affected.
Father, don't worry.
I will surely take full responsibility for our clan's future.
Don't worry? How am I not to?
You are the one that I most worry about.
Everything is fake.
I'm not the crown prince.
Her Majesty is not my mother.
What about you, Teacher?
Definitely your teacher.
My name is Changsheng*. (T/N: It means longevity.)
But I can't have a long life.
Although the world is vast, I'm the most unnecessary one.
I've kept the truth from you so long.
I'm sorry.
Who on earth am I?
Your existence, to date back, is
an accident of fighting against destiny.
I-I'm an accident?
Only me and my junior brother knew it.
You were made by Yuren's blood.
What you are carrying is actually the force of stars in Yuren's body.
That's where my blood came from.
No wonder I can save people.
Back then Yuren was wounded by the star formation.
His force of stars erupted and was on the verge of death.
It could only be transferred to you.
Turns out I'm just a container.
We didn't expect...
that Emperor Taizong would die suddenly and the Demon Clan would come to attack.
It was too late to react.
But Yuren is Emperor Taizong's only son.
How could my junior brother and I watch him die without doing anything?
So you transferred all the force of Senior Brother Yuren's star to me.
I'm just a tool for Senior Brother's treatment.
It's my fault.
Don't blame it on Yuren.
I'm happy to help him.
You're a man-made body shell,
without parents.
We transferred the force of stars, which broke your meridians,
and made you die before twenty.
Today, you can avenge yourself.
You raised me to nineteen and have been good to me.
But I have also ruined you.
I just want to remember the most beautiful things.
Changsheng, I'm sorry.
Chen Changsheng from the past has died.
I know that.
The destiny we've designed for you has been changed.
Yourong, Luoluo, Her Majesty,
and all my friends around me,
I'd be dead already but for them.
You asked me to come to the capital to change my destiny.
In fact, you only wanted the High Priest to push me towards Her Majesty,
to give her a fatal strike.
I harmed Her Majesty.
But she saved my life to keep me alive.
Actually, we only wanted Her Majesty to abdicate the throne,
but never thought of killing her.
You know that I don't like fights and killing.
But your junior brother, His Holiness, didn't think so.
If he comes here, which side will you choose?
I'll never let him hurt you two brothers.
Thank you, Teacher.
Junior Brother, long time no see.
I didn't expect that you would come back at this moment.
Tianhai has died. Our Zhou Empire is finally back in order.
So, are you coming to greet the new host of the Zhou Empire?
The Crown Prince is back. Let me take you to greet the new Emperor.
Senior Brother, you're muddled.
How could Tianhai's bastard inherit the previous emperor's ambition?
You didn't say it like this before.
Are you going to take over the previous emperor's empire?
Back then when we we fought,
we wanted to region over Humans, Beasts and Demons.
Now, apart from me, who can achieve this goal?
As for me, I always don't know how to make a choice,
like grass swaying with the wind.
After the previous emperor died,
if I chose to assist the crown prince to be the next emperor,
all such things wouldn't happen.
Now do you stand out for the Crown Prince?
Since we are choosing different ways, we can only be enemies.
Whoever crosses this line, I will begin to attack, and won't mind killing anyone.
In my whole life, I ought to do two things.
One, is to overthrow Tianhai's ruling.
Second is to unify the three clans.
Tianhai has died.
What she has left is only two innocent kids.
Do you really want to kill the last descendant of Emperor Taizong?
They can't inherit Emperor Taizong's ambition.
They don't deserve to live being titled as his descendants!
Look around.
I have controlled the Star Formation.
Defeating Demons will be like shooting fishes in a barrel.
Go kill Demons.
Why do you have to kill Humans?
In three days, you will see the Demon's king die.
Demons will be in severe disorder.
The Beast Clan is not a matter, either.
You also want to destroy the Beast Clan?
How aggressive you are!
Whoever is in my way, will be killed.
What if I insist to?
Then forgive me for disregarding our fellowship.
I heard that after I left,
you set a sword formation here.
Well, today let me show you,
the authentic Guojiao Swords Formation.
Do you think you can stop me?
Do you think you can break in?
Junior Brother, don't forget.
For my swords formation,
the more attack it receives, the more it backfires.
Changsheng.
Yourong, are you okay?
I am fine.
That's good.
What about Her Majesty?
Her Majesty...
Yourong, I hope one day
you can become as powerful as me.
If the way of heaven blocks your way, cut it off.
If love blocks your way, you should also cut it off.
Your life is supposed to shoulder loftier missions.
Your Majesty, I'm not strong enough now,
but I'll surely avenge you.
I think you shall be consoled.
Even I'm no match for my junior brother.
You must leave here and back to Guojiao Academy now.
I know a way to escape. Follow me.
Back then, I escaped from the capital through there.
Doesn't High Priest know this path?
I guess he maybe, probably doesn't know.
It's not safe here.
It's not safe here. Then tell me, where is safe?
All done.
For you, my Cold Pond is still the safest place.
Your teacher doesn't believe it no matter what.
He insists that this is like a turtle being kept in a pot.
He refuses to come down here.
I understand he wants to set an enchanted barrier outside to protect us.
- Little Black Dragon, thank you - Yes?
for doing so much for me.
Forget it.
You delivered your promise and saved me. I should return the favor.
If any of you want to go out,
remember to tell me.
Changsheng, would you please tell Little Black Dragon that I want to get out?
Outside, High Priest is tracking us down. Please wait for some time.
I'm worried about Mo Yu.
You're right. Her Majesty died.
High Priest will surely hurt her.
- You must bring her back. - Yes.
Then I'm leaving.
Senior Brother, with the capital in my hand, I've controlled the empire.
You cannot escape for long.
I am really unaccustomed to days without Her Majesty.
I have just gotten used to the days with mother by my side,
but then she is gone.
Whatever happened before,
as long as Her Majesty was there, I felt really assured.
Now she is gone.
We need to shoulder some responsibilities.
I shouldn't have come to the capital.
Changsheng, I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
Teacher has hidden it from me for so long,
but I cannot blame him.
You only saw Her Majesty for the last time.
- It's me who took the place that belonged to you. -You deserve that.
We all owe you.
If Her Majesty knew that we were really weak now, she would be unhappy.
She had been very proud all the time.
Tell me.
What kind of person was she?
In Heavenly Scrolls Tomb, there is a Nameless Tombstone.
It is probably the best appraisal for her.
It's a great honor for Zhou Tong to meet Your Majesty.
Long live the Emperor.
I haven't ascended the throne yet. Don't say that.
Okay. Okay.
Zhou Tong, Chen Changsheng and Shang Xingzhou are missing.
Search the city. You must find where they are.
I will follow the orders.
Follow me!
Wicked Empress had been in the palace for a long time,
and created chaos and hid the situation from Heaven.
Thus, it brought enormous wars at her time, and voices of discontent were heard everywhere.
Now, everything returns to orthodoxy, to make our country in peace.
Before Emperor Taizong died,
he knew that Wicked Empress wanted to usurp the throne.
So he ordered me to rule Zhou Empire orally.
Does any minister have any different objections?
Your Holiness, you should choose the virtuous one of the Chen royals
to succeed to the throne.
From now on, you call me the sage, not His Holiness any more.
Mo Yu, edict an order.
Depose Wicked Empress as a civilian.
Announce it across the empire.
Mo Yu, refuse to do so.
How dare you!
You are the Lady Official who holds the Imperial jade seal.
How you dare to refuse?
Royal Decree is an edict.
You don't have the Imperial jade seal to give a decree.
But you want to abolish Her Majesty?
You have overestimated your power.
Wicked Empress grabbed all the power,
made the country in disorder, but you still stand by her side.
Come, seize Mo Yu's authority on keeping the seal!
Considering that you're an old minister of Zhou Empire, have been keeping the seal,
performed valuable services since you were young,
I'll give you a chance to atone for your mistakes.
Dismissed!
Your order is as high as the sky.
Grace will be rising up everywhere.
I will give you one night.
If you do not follow me,
I'll annihilate the entire Tang family in Wenshui and make them die with you.
It is a honor for the Tang's to die for Her Majesty.
You are too heartless. Tang Tang loved the wrong person.
