Dominator of Martial Gods (Wu Shen Zhu Zai / 武神主宰)

[to the Martial Domain to fight against evil and preserve the good,]

[Shangguan Xi'er, Supreme God of the Martial Domain]

We talk in the moonlight.

Together forever,

and may we never be apart.

Chen.

Xi'er,

what do you think

the Heavenly Way

is all about?

The sun, the moon, and you.

The sun represents the day.

The moon represents night.

You and I are just like day and night.

I just want to be with you forever, Chen.

I couldn't care less about the Heavenly Way.

The Heavenly Way…

is a gift from Heaven.

It's intended to let us feel every living being

while being in this circle of life and death.

Chen,

we are lords of the Martial Domain.

What do those mortal beings' life and death,

emotions and feelings

have to do with us anyway?

Xi'er,

you don't get it.

Existence is suffering.

Take these petals, for example.

After blooming,

flowers will die shortly thereafter.

Xi'er,

we…

Xi'er…

You…

Don't blame me for this,

Chen.

Why?

Why?

Are you seriously asking me that?

You don't understand me at all.

Xi'er,

what did I do

to deserve this?

Shaoyu?

Wind, thunder, swords, river!

Let me give you a taste of this Seal of Galaxy!

Chen,

you may be an accomplished cultivator,

but you have your back to the wall now!

Martial God,

descend!

Chen,

you have been fatally poisoned.

Stripped of all your power.

If I were you, I'd give up the fight.

It'll take more than this

to contain me!

Heavenly Spirit…

break!

Xi'er,

don't let him get away!

Go!

Chen,

there's no escape from this,

no matter how hard you try.

Xi'er,

Shaoyu,

why are you doing this to me?

My lover,

my buddy,

why?

Chen,

Shaoyu and I were together

before you came into the picture.

I pretended to love you

just so I could use you.

I was going to use you as my stepping stone.

I hadn't bargained on

you having it in you.

You helped me expand my area of influence

and build the Tianwu Empire.

All those years of buddying up to you,

it all paid off.

I even had to watch

you and Xi'er getting all lovey-dovey

day after day.

Being around you

made me sick.

Shaoyu and I have a deal.

When we become Martial Emperors of the Nine Heavens,

it'll be the time of your death.

And then

I can go back to Shaoyu without having to answer to anybody.

Chen,

I hate to admit it,

but you are quite something

to become a legend in the Martial Domain

without any help.

Too bad…

you're going to

die here today.

As a sacrificial offering at my altar.

But…

I can let you live

for the sake of our years of "brotherhood."

As long as you give me this one thing.

You took everything away from me.

I have nothing more to give you.

You spent days training behind closed doors.

I'd imagine

you were studying the divine artifact

you had brought back from the Forbidden Place.

Leave it to me,

and I'll spare your life.

I discovered

the secrets of the universe,

but failed to look through human nature.

For half of my life,

I've been fighting my destiny.

I never would have thought

it would end up like this.

Shaoyu,

you still don't get me.

As much as I want to

live a good long life,

I am never afraid to die.

Look out!

I won't

let you die so easily.

And when you do die,

I will destroy your soul

so you can never be reborn as a human!

[Qin Residence, King of Might's home, the Xuan Kingdom]

Chen.

Chen?

What happened to me…?

Chen, you're finally awake.

Where am I?

My boy, I really thought

you were never going to wake up.

Mother?

How were you all beat up?

I heard people in your academy talking.

Did you really fight a duel with the young Wei?

How could he have done this to you?

He clearly wanted you dead.

Don't kill me.

Chen,

what's wrong?

Chen, is everything okay?

I'm fine.

You were out for three days.

I was so worried.

Do not ever behave recklessly like this,

you hear me?

If you…

If you had died,

I never would've been able to

bear the pain alone.

Yes…

Mother.

Chen.

Chen, are you all right?

Yeah.

Drink this potion.

It'll help your body recover.

[Mother had been known as the most beautiful woman]

[Secretly admired by countless noblemen and aristocrats from the Capitol.]

[Matchmakers bearing gifts were scrambling to get to her.]
