[Legend of Fuyao]
[Episode 64]
As for Wanxin Temple, I went there to take a look.
Although it's a bit old and shabby, it's particularly tranquil.
Empress Yuan...
is doing quite well.
When Prince De's manor was raided
I secretly took two of the robes that Prince De often wore.
If you'd like to erect a cenotaph for him
the robes might be of some use.
I always knew that...
the two of them still met illicitly.
He was the only one...
she ever loved.
If I say that I never doubted my parentage...
I'd be deceiving myself.
But the more I doubted it
the more afraid I was to approach it.
And even more unwilling to seek out the truth.
Father...
He and I were father and son.
He was a strict father.
[Zhangsun Jiong's Memorial Tablet]
We were closest to each other, and trusted each other most.
It crossed my mind once.
Even if I'm not his flesh and blood
our relationship as father and son...
it surpassed kinship by far.
I've never... cared about the throne.
I just didn't want to let him down.
Who could have known that...
deep in my father's heart...
buried deep in his heart...
there was only hatred?
There was only hatred...
Your father loved you.
He loved you because you're kind.
He also hated you...
because you're kind.
In the end, your father is just a pitiful man.
We all have a choice.
Yet he insisted on choosing a path that would never end.
He even dragged all of you along with him.
Now, be it the truth or the lies, be it the good or the bad...
you're aware of all of it.
So it's not too late.
Isn't that right?
It's not too late?
It's too late.
It already happened.
When did I get to choose?
The person I thought loved me most...
actually hated me so deeply.
The person I hated to the core...
actually died for my sake.
Tell me.
What exactly is all of this?
Wu Ji...
Even if everyone in the world betrays you
I won't.
I'll always be by your side.
I won't leave you.
You don't know...
what you'll have to face in the future.
Of course I know.
Since I left Mount Xuanyuan and came all the way here...
The once lowly and insignificant Fu Yao made it to this day...
I know that everything we went through was to sharpen our abilities.
Perhaps, the gods decided what sort of people we'd be long ago...
and what kind of missions await us.
All the deaths and separations we encountered
as well as the grudges and grievances...
They're the layers of armor that the gods have placed on us.
Before our final destiny greets us...
those hardships will strengthen us.
They will make us fearless.
Wu Ji...
You're the cleverest and bravest person I've met.
Nothing can defeat you.
Not in the past.
Not now.
Not in the future.
The five kingdoms mustn't descend into chaos now.
Neither can Tianquan.
Your people need you.
I need you too.
You're right.
A monarch...
doesn't have... the right to be sad.
I'm right here.
Greetings, Your Majesty!
The emperor watches over our lands, we shall prosper!
What should we do?
If if wasn't for us elders from Qiongcang, who would've thought
that the sealed rock of Di Fei Tian is actually hidden under Changqing Hall?
I'm afraid that the thousand-year-old spell won't keep it trapped for long.
I've gathered you all today to discuss this matter.
Now that Di Fei Tian's powers are stirring...
we won't be able to keep the other half sealed in Purple Phoenix River.
This other half right here must be kept safe.
All of you are successors of the elders of the ancient firmament.
As long as we join forces to reinforce the spell
we can prevent the world from suffering a great tragedy.
Although we have a great responsibility to guard this sealed rock
the dark forces within it are growing stronger by the day.
I'm afraid that even our joined powers won't be enough to contain it.
Elder, you mean...
We can contain the dark powers with the joint effort of our spirits
and reinforce the spell, but it will only last for a while.
But it won't solve the problem, once and for all.
We can only leave this in the hands of the gods.
Since this is our mission...
let us begin.
We've used up half a lifetime of power...
From now on, we'll be invalids.
No, don't we still have Wu Ji?
Has he found the witch yet?
Now, should this sealed rock start stirring again...
I'm afraid that only Wu Ji...
can save all life in this world.
Wu Ji, you see this, don't you?
Can't you?
It's not that I want to force you to kill her.
All life in this world is now hanging by a thread!
There's no other choice!
Bring her back to Qiongcang.
Only by annihilating the witch, along with Di Fei Tian
can the five kingdoms survive.
Does it...
Does it have to be this way?
The five kingdoms can only be safe this way?
What should I do...
to keep you safe?
The successor of the Leaf of Spiritual Elixir is by your side.
Kill him.
Then no one in this world can harm you.
If you don't kill him
you're destined to walk down the toughest path of all.
Why are you standing here all alone?
Be careful not to catch a cold.
I saw that you haven't slept for days.
Nothing is better than finally seeing you get some sleep.
When I was a child, I used to come here to watch the sunrise.
When the sun rises...
the palace somehow feels much warmer.
The hardships in life... the treachery of human minds...
don't mean a thing.
To feel like a small ant in the world.
When I was a child, I liked gazing at the sun from Mount Xuanyuan too.
However ugly and unpleasant this world might be...
and however many of those matters we can't let go...
The sun is never bothered by it.
Every day, it repeats its routine.
It rises every day, as it should.
It's easy to rise and set with the sun.
But to stay true to one's mind...
is hard.
Well, the human mind is the most fickle of all.
I've always believed that no obstacle is impossible to overcome.
There's no land that can't be conquered.
And no grudge that can't be settled.
It's only the human mind that remains unwavered.
Do you know... I remember...
the first time I met you at the Warrior Hunt in Mount Xuanyuan.
I thought to myself then, "Who exactly is this man?"
"Why does he lend me a hand while trying to get me into trouble?"
Before I had figured it out, I'd already arrived in Taiyuan.
I thought... I must take the mask off that man
and see him for what he really is.
Who exactly are you?
Why are you helping me?
I'm the one who saved you.
That's all you need to remember.
Who exactly are you? Liar!
When I take off my mask, you'll know.
In the end, we've gone through so much together along the way.
I've begun to see you for who you are, more and more clearly.
But as for myself...
I don't seem to know who I am anymore.
From the queen of Taiyuan
to the Queen of Xuanji...
Which one of them is the real me?
All you need to remember...
is that you're my Fu Yao.
Nothing else matters.
Wu Ji...
do you think there could be a world...
where light shines everywhere, and all the people are equal?
Even if there's darkness that we can't avoid...
there will be those who strive for light and equality.
One day, if I'm no longer around, can you promise me that...
you'll be such an emperor, to bring out the best in the five kingdoms?
Where are you going?
Promise me first.
Tell me first.
Look at how nervous you are.
Where would I go?
I'm the Queen of Xuanji Kingdom.
My people are still waiting for me.
It's because of all these burdens that I couldn't have any fun.
After we're done with all these matters
I'll go take a good look around the five kingdoms.
I'll visit all the places I want to visit.
- I'll go-- - I'll come with you.
All along the way...
you've put up with so many grievances.
Because there were matters that we had to handle...
And responsibilities we couldn't forsake.
What I can't forsake...
is you.
If in the end...
everything must come to a tragic end and nothing can be done about it...
I just want to be like this.
By your side forever.
You're the true culprit who will cast the five kingdoms into chaos.
All life in the world can only escape eternal doom if you die.
Wu Ji, you must kill her.
It can only be you! It has to be you!
The new emperor takes the throne!
The five kingdoms shall prosper forever!
Officials, greet and bow!
The new emperor takes the throne!
The five kingdoms shall prosper forever!
Officials, do rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
The former emperor for a simple funeral.
Now that all political issues are settled
Duan Tong, remind the Inner Court to take note that
on the day of the Winter Solstice
the auspicious hour is when the Guiren Star reaches Tianmen.
The winter ritual is to be held at Mount Green Pearl.
Emperor Ruizong is to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Yes, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
As the newly crowned emperor of Tianquan
you should send an imperial envoy to Qiongcang
to retrieve your decree of coronation.
I've already listed a few candidates.
Your Majesty, please review it.
Don't bother.
I already decided on the envoy to Qiongcang.
Ingot, do you know that in Qiongcang, they have decided on how I'll die?
Not only do they want me dead
but they also hope that Wu Ji will kill me with his own hands.
Of course, I know Wu Ji won't do it.
But if he doesn't kill me...
it's as good as killing thousands of other people.
Others may not know about it...
but you should, shouldn't you?
Should the witch live...
the five kingdoms shall descend into chaos.
Those unforeseen events took such a toll on him.
I feel bad for him.
How can I let him live in self-reproach and guilt?
But I can't let the five kingdoms get cast into chaos because of me.
Right?
That's why I've decided to go to Qiongcang.
Ingot, I know that you're the best.
Back then, in Geya Desert when Wu Ji's was hanging on by a thread
you even found him and saved his life.
This is a tuft of my hair.
I'm leaving it to you now.
I hope that some day, wherever I may be
you can bring Wu Ji to me.
If I fail to defeat destiny...
I hope you can bring Wu Ji to kill me.
This is the only favor I ask of you.
Please do me this favor.
Wu Ji, there are many matters in life
that are more important than our own wishes.
Affection and fulfillment, forgiveness and renunciation
sacrifice and understanding...
Giving up easily and striving hard at the same time...
That's what you and the others gave me on my arduous journey.
That will always light my life and keep me going.
Without you, without our friends
I couldn't have made it this far.
This life of mine is borrowed, so I mustn't let it go to waste.
I mustn't forget your sacrifices and contributions.
I can no longer remove the mark that these experiences left on me.
The mark may seem light, but it's as firm as a rock.
Nothing can remove this mark.
How long is a lifetime?
I was lucky enough to have met you.
Forgive me.
Lass.
I told you before.
You must never again leave without saying a word.
Did you forget again?
If possible, I hope you won't go there.
Don't ever go there.
If you insist on going
you must remember not to leave me behind.
You shouldn't be here.
Your life is at stake.
How can I not be here?
When we were in the palace of Xuanji, I made such a grave mistake.
I promised to take you away with me
but you ended up in such a perilous situation.
When I rushed back, it was too late.
Since that day, I swore to myself
that I don't ever want to regret not being there for you.
I don't ever want you to disappear without a word again.
I'm going to strive for everything that I should strive for.
I don't want to live in regret for the rest of my life.
The past 16 years of regret were long enough.
From now on, wherever you go...
I'll be there.
Hey.
Just let me stay by your side like this, forever.
Since this was all destined to happen, the two of us should set out together.
Be it destiny...
or the fate that we can't go against
if this is what we must undertake, we'll face it head on, together.
Supreme Mentor, Senior Wu Ji has arrived at the Foggy Sea of Fufeng.
He brought a young woman.
I heard you.
You're dismissed.
So you still understand your place.
Witch...
She still came back here.
Supreme Mentor, Senior Wu Ji is--
What about him?
He...
Just say it.
He erased all his tracks.
We... couldn't find him.
That treacherous disciple!
Good.
Good...
It's good that you've come.
Illusion Hall has long awaited your arrival.
Find them.
Isn't this your Shangyang Palace in Tianquan Kingdom?
Sort of.
Did you build another manor according to the structure of Shangyang Palace?
Everything in Qiongcang seems real, yet surreal.
What you see may not be real.
What you can't see may not be unreal.
I built this place with the powers I learned in the past 10 years.
It should be the safest place in Qiongcang right now.
You spent 10 years building this place.
You built a house you're familiar with.
This must be the place you missed most, huh?
When I first came to Qiongcang, I was still very young.
The regulations in Qiongcang are particularly strict.
I rarely got to spend time with fellow disciples.
As time went by, I couldn't help but miss home.
10 years...
It's long enough to change a person's temperament.
Since I couldn't go home, I could only think of ways to not forget.
You're right.
After all, you were just a child then.
Even if you were said to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth
you must have been lonely.
But you still had to put on a strong front.
There was so much you couldn't tell anyone.
This place...
It must have been the only place you could be without a mask, huh?
If you'd had someone like me then, to drag you around to play...
you'd surely be a lot happier.
It's not too late.
"33 celestial palaces, Lihentian is the highest in the sky."
"440 illnesses, lovesickness is the worst of them all."
So even Crown Prince Wu Ji can write such a sorrowful poem?
All right.
Come clean.
Which female disciple broke your heart and made you write such a poem?
What is it?
Are you jealous?
How could I be jealous?
Is that so?
I am jealous.
You're mine.
How can you be lovesick about someone else?
How can you--
This is the first time...
that you called me yours.
You're mine.
You'll always be mine.
Supreme Mentor, Lady Fei Yan of Illusion Hall asks to see you.
Fei Yan?
Although both Changqing Hall and Illusion Hall are in Qiongcang
we've never interacted in the past few centuries.
Why would Illusion Hall ask to see me at such a time?
I'll inform her of your reply.
Hold on.
Illusion Hall was also established by my mentor.
Judging by the seniority of Illusion Hall's Fei Yan
she ranks much higher.
It's now a crucial moment for the survival of the five kingdoms.
She may have asked to see me for important matters.
I might as well meet her.
Yes, I understand.
Supreme Mentor always said that...
the mundane world is as transient as a fleeting cloud.
What the disciples of Qiongcang should pursue is an eternity.
The mundane world is but a responsibility I have as Crown Prince of Tianquan.
It was only when I met you that everything changed.
Every moment I'm with you...
I feel so happy.
But it's always too short.
It's because of you... that I fell in love with the mundane world.
It's also because of you that I wish to live long.
I know that... you came to Qiongcang, determined to die.
I also know that... compared to all life in the world
one person's death is nothing.
But if that person is you, I can't overlook it.
Wu Ji--
Fu Yao.
As long as there's a chance
I want to stay alive with you.
I don't believe in a heavenly principle
that sacrifices an innocent life.
If such an end can't be avoided...
we'll face it together.
I always believed that every obstacle could be overcome.
Even if this is my fate, I refuse to accept it.
Good.
It's Fei Yan.
We just arrived in Qiongcang two hours ago.
Illusion Hall has already sent out so many scouts.
I'll visit Supreme Mentor first.
I'll go with you.
No, he's out to get you.
I can't let you walk right into his hands.
If I don't go with you, will Supreme Mentor spare you?
