"Ashes of Love"
"Episode 59"
Fine, fine.
We, as a fruit fairy,
will not sink to the bird's level.
Phoenix,
I love you.
How I wish I could wash away the vanity, wipe away all the dirt.
I'd have another drink with you and talk until I'm drunk with you.
Never wished to get into dispute.
You are no longer here.
Why should I live in this world?
Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel.
I only hope that I have no regrets and to drift away with the flowers.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
I am Jin Mi.
If you marry me in the future,
you might not be treated fairly.
Would you mind?
No, I won't.
"Edict of Repentance"
Can we still go back to the past?
No.
Maybe...
we can start over again.
Memories come and go, but nothing hurts my heart of steel.
I only hope that I have no regrets, and drift away with the flowers.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
I hope these memories never fade.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
Jin Mi.
I hope these memories never fade.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
After Jin Mi has left,
he has been like this.
He doesn't speak.
He is neither an immortal nor demon.
He only drinks his sadness away.
Xu Feng,
Chief Zhang is here to see you.
I've caused Jin Mi's death.
I've failed her.
I've failed the Flora Realm.
Don't say that, please rise.
Come.
When the former chief gave birth to Jin Mi,
she entrusted her to us.
We've failed to look after her.
We're the one who made unforgivable mistake.
I killed Jin Mi.
It was all my fault.
These few days, I've been thinking about Jin Mi.
Since the love trial is inevitable,
there are a few things that you must know.
The love trial?
Tell me about it.
Before the former chief died,
she had predicted that Jin Mi would face a love trial within 10,000 years.
Her life would be at risk.
When Jin Mi was born, she was fed with the Yun Elixir,
so that she would be detached from love.
The night when Run Yu started the mutiny,
she spat out the Yun Elixir after she had killed you by accident.
I remember so clearly...
the word that you said before I died,
"Never."
I take it as a stern reminder,
it's engraved on my mind.
I took the Yun Elixir,
I had been detached from love since young.
I did not know what love was back then.
The Yun Elixir was real.
The former chief intended to...
help her to avoid the sufferings that romance can cause.
We have never thought that this love trial is inevitable after all.
So I am her love trial.
I caused her to be trapped and wounded by love.
And we've come to the point where everything is beyond redemption.
I thought that she was heartless.
She actually did have feelings, but that she had never realised it.
She didn't know,
and I had never tried to tell her.
I've failed her.
Back then, I followed former chief's order strictly...
and had been standing between you and Jin Mi.
After all these years, I finally realised that,
the love between Jin Mi and you is very rare and profound.
If we want to solve this problem, you'd be our only hope.
Is there a chance to save Jin Mi?
Chief Zhang, what can we do?
I shall do my best.
I'm just holding out little hope.
The late Water Immortal told me that,
he had brought Jin Mi to see Xuan Ling Lord Dou Mu once.
On that day itself,
Lord Dou Mu had already predicted what would happen.
She then gave her the ashes of Brahma to protect her.
Lord Dou Mu might have a way to revive Jin Mi.
Master, I beg you,
please remove the Jialan Seal from my daughter.
For a person who is going to die,
removing Jialan Seal will make no difference.
I wish the ashes of Brahma can save you from the trial.
That's great, Xu Feng.
It is always good to have an alternative.
Okay.
I will go and see Lord Dou Mu now.
Greetings, Lord Dou Mu.
There is no need to beg.
If it's something that can be done, there's no need to beg for it.
If it's something that can't be done, it is futile no matter how you beg.
I do understand this too.
I will suffer the consequences for all the sins that I've committed.
However,
I couldn't let go of all of this.
She seems to be carved in my mind,
I always think about...
how great it'd be if I could just see her one more time,
listen to her say a word.
You also know that, just one glance and one word...
will not alleviate your troubles.
Even if there are thousands of glances and words,
you will never be satisfied.
Everything is fated.
There is a reason for this consequence.
It's hard to disobey the natural laws, why must you force it?
I know that she is already dead,
but recently I always feel that she is still staying by my side.
I have no other request today,
I only hope that you could show me the way.
Living isn't really Life.
Dying isn't really Death
In the heavens, humans world, and demons world,
everything that's alive or dead, love, hatred, sadness, and sorrow...
are just a wild fancy and illusion.
It is just before you.
Where your eyes see, and what your heart feels.
Everything that you see is her,
everything that she sees is what you see.
I don't really understand.
Does Jin Mi have any chance to survive?
Separation and mergence, the beginning and end of fate...
have all been written down.
In this life, you missed each other but could not see each other,
you loved each other but could not stay with each other.
The fate has ended but you are not separated.
The fate has doomed but you are still together.
This is destiny.
Where could I find her spirit?
One silly thought can cut off the wisdom.
One wise thought can lead to the growth of wisdom.
Thank you for your advice, Lord Dou Mu.
Xu Feng sent us a letter.
Lord Dou Mu predicted that Jin Mi's spirit still exists.
He has already embarked to find it. Inform other chiefs quickly.
We will go into seclusion starting from today,
use the strength of Flora Realm to find it.
I will go now.
All the flowers and woods of the six realms, listen,
use all your might to seek for the primordial spirit of Jin Mi.
Sisters, once you locate it,
open up the Flower Lane of Time and do your best to save Jin Mi.
Jin Mi,
where are you?
Ask nothing about spirits. The road from the hell is deep.
Great.
What's so great about it?
Abandon the physical form and achieve the ultimate freedom.
You are not her,
how would you know that she has achieved the ultimate freedom?
She stopped the war between Heaven and Demon on her own.
Isn't this the greatest wisdom and the ultimate freedom?
Yes,
she had always been wise.
But when she was alive, I had never complimented her.
The wheel of life is ever turning.
Back then, she had been looking for you.
And now, you are looking for her.
Why must you leave this boundless regret...
in the River of Unmindfulness with boundless sorrow?
Phoenix.
Phoenix, please turn and look at me, Phoenix.
Phoenix!
Jin Mi,
where are you?
Never wished to get into dispute,
but things never go my way.
The flower in my heart wilts away and I can never turn back time.
How I wish I could wash away the vanity,
wipe away all the dirt.
I'd have another drink with you and talk until I'm drunk with you.
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi,
don't go.
Jin Mi, Jin Mi.
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi, don't go!
Don't go.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
Xu Feng, are you sure about this?
I have already decided, I will look for Jin Mi.
I will entrust Demon Realm to you.
After you find Jin Mi,
I will return the Demon Realm to you in one piece.
There is no need for that.
Nothing else is more important than her in this world.
Greetings, Demon Lord.
A body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
The fate has already been decided.
There must be a reason for this consequence.
Where your eyes see and what your heart feels.
Everything that you see is her,
everything that she sees is what you see.
Jin Mi.
Jin Mi, I will show you the aurora in the Demon Realm.
Experience the liveliness in the mortal world.
The beauty of the Flora Realm in all four seasons.
Taste all the delicacies in the six realms.
Jin Mi,
I don't believe that you have the heart to leave me and this world.
In this life, you missed each other but could not see each other.
The fate has ended but you are not separated.
The fate has doomed but you are still together.
I hope these memories never fade.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
I hope these memories never fade.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
A bottle of wine, a body covered in dirt.
Memories come back and forth, still I have no regrets.
A story of life and death, vanity and conflicts.
Let's get drunk again when the flowers bloom.
A bottle of wine...
Jin Mi,
if we could turn back time,
I would rather that we had never met,
never missed,
never loved,
never hurt.
I only wish that...
you would be safe and sound.
The memory of life and death is carved deep in my heart.
As I reminisce on the bits and pieces of our love.
This isn't you.
Where are you?
Jin Mi,
do you remember the place where we fell in love?
The time in the mountains was slow,
while thousands of years have already passed in the world.
Back then, we were both mortals.
We lived freely with no worry.
There were pleasure, anger, sorrow, joy.
There were no Yun Elixir nor misunderstanding.
Even more so, there was no grudge.
We had the most beautiful time together.
We shared our sincerest feeling with each other.
I miss those time so much.
I will wait for you to come back.
We will be a mortal couple.
We will hold each other up and grow old together.
Can we?
I will wait for you here.
Wait for you to come back.
Your Highness.
I have chosen the demonic path.
I'm not associated with Heaven Realm.
I don't deserve to be called Your Highness.
Your Highness,
I come here without informing you and disturb you...
because that I have an important matter.
Heaven and Demon Realms are enemies.
We'll not come into a consensus, just save it.
I heard that Your Highness has quit being the Demon Lord.
I have come here to beg Your Highness to come and help us,
return to the Heaven Realm and take charge.
Doesn't the Heaven Realm have a ruler already?
The Heavenly Emperor had used a forbidden magic,
and waged a war between the Heaven and Demon Realm.
His morality is unsuited for the throne.
It can lead to disasters.
The Heavenly Emperor has stepped down and issued the Edict of Repentance.
We will serve you as the Emperor,
I hope that you can forget the past and bring us to the right path.
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
You're just in time.
Quick, do it.
Kill it!
Your Highness!
Your Highness, please don't! Your Highness!
He has locked himself up.
He won't hurt others!
Your Highness, I beg you.
He has nothing left now.
Kill it.
If you want your emperor to be a walking corpse,
go ahead and stop me.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
How many other plans do you have now?
Your Highness, I beg you.
Please let His Majesty off. I beg you.
You let the Supreme Lord Lao meet me.
You allowed them to overthrow father,
and now you allow them to overthrow you.
Why are you doing this to yourself?
What do you expect them to do?
In my whole life, I hate betrayal the most.
Have you ever thought about this?
A change of Heavenly Emperor brings a change of ministers.
What do you want me to do to these betrayers?
You won't do anything.
It has been my fault from the very beginning.
It has nothing to do with the immortals.
Even now, are you still thinking that everyone is just a piece of chess...
that you can be control and use as political means?
What do you think being a Heavenly Emperor means?
It's not something that you can take and throw as you wish.
You suffered and worked hard for a few thousand years,
but after you've gotten your revenge...
and done enjoying being a king, you want to abandon everything.
There's no such fortunate in this world.
Kuang Lu, go out first.
I've embezzled the throne and learned the forbidden spell.
I've waged war and plunged people into suffering.
I have disturbed the orders of Heaven Realm.
Right now,
it's time for someone to step forward to abolish the harm.
You and I are different like the fire and ice,
but we are both father's sons.
You'd be the most suitable person to step forward and correct the mistakes.
You'd always behaved yourself.
Now you'd rather taint your name for millions years to come?
I've always been alone.
When my body dies and my spirit vanishes,
reputation and power would mean nothing to me but weightless clouds.
Why should I care about my reputation after I die?
My actions and thoughts in the past...
were meant to take revenge and seek for justice.
I've killed father, ascended the throne,
imprisoned the Heavenly Empress,
still, I have no regrets.
These are all my personal vendettas,
they shouldn't affect the Heaven Realm.
We must be selfless for the sake of Heaven Realm.
It's time for everything to get back on the right track.
Your talents are extraordinary, but you are stubborn.
You had made many enemies in Heaven Realm.
If you overthrow me and kill me, it will be a huge contribution.
Thereafter, the immortals will choose the right person...
and help you to ascend the throne.
This would be the best way.
It can also stabilise the Heaven Realm.
Back then,
father gave me the Red Cloud Sword to fight against Qiong Qi,
not to kill my brother.
My stubbornness and hatred had blinded me...
and led me to make irreparable mistakes.
I am willing to accept the punishment.
Xu Feng, this is your opportunity.
You must not be soft-hearted.
You spent your whole life calculating your gains and losses, what for?
Does your heart care about anything else?
I had loved too.
Xu Feng, I had loved too.
But my feelings are so inferior.
I was afraid and worried all the time.
I longed for it but I could never get it.
One day, it became so cold.
There were only hatred, jealousy and the desire to win.
At last...
At last, it was so twisted that even I was disgusted by it.
No matter what,
I'll never escape from being looked down by others in this life.
When I look back, there's only chaos left.
I've had enough and I am tired.
Do you think I will accept your gift?
I've told you,
from the very beginning, I've never intended to fight with you.
From the very beginning, all I care about is Jin Mi.
Ironically,
I only care about Jin Mi too.
I don't need your gift.
I was wrong.
It was me who repaired her Yun Elixir.
What are you saying?
When you were facing redemption in the mortal world,
her Yun Elixir was broken.
She was madly in love with you, but you knew nothing.
However, I saw it so clearly.
She only wanted to spend the rest of her life with you...
and wanted to call off our engagement.
I knew that I had no chance at all.
But when I see her missed you so much, I wasn't able to calm myself down.
Our wedding day were approaching,
I would rather that she would never love but stay by my side.
In the end...
In the end, I caused both of you to suffer.
Now everything is beyond redemption.
So this is the truth.
Her heart had never changed.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why are you telling me now?
I once thought that, we were equal as rivals.
As long as we kept our own pride and opinions,
one of us would eventually win if we kept standing our grounds.
Now, I know, I was wrong.
We were both wrong.
I predicted the wrong beginning,
and you predicted the wrong ending.
We missed out too much.
If...
If it was me who met her first,
maybe the ending would be completely different.
We didn't miss out anything.
It was our mistake.
Can't you see it now?
There were never victory nor failure.
Prediction is a taboo for love.
This whole time,
you've never predicted wrongly.
It's just that I've never made any prediction.
She is not here anymore,
what is the use of saying all these?
This is what Jin Mi has left.
Maybe she had been keeping it for you.
I had sworn a blood-oath with Qiong Qi in order to defeat you.
And now,
I am at the end of my strength and my days are limited.
The Pengyu that Jin Mi had left for you...
should have already cured the adverse effect of Nine Spins Reviving Elixir.
