00:00This is an ordinary fear gathering, and the hustle and bustle of Amber Street that we're most familiar with.
00:21Through equal exchange, you all became my slaves long ago. Do you get it now? No matter what everyone is busy with, they'll eventually pay the price to me.
00:42I'll be the one that governs you. Yeah, you're the one that governs me. So, this divine retribution of the Zodiac is truly tailored for you.
00:59Banner of the Seven Shrews, unite as one law.
01:30Hyah!
01:52Pathetic.
01:59My dear collaborator, you call this a divine retribution. Seems like you've misunderstood something. I'm the Shrew of Deception.
02:25The Rite of Tears doesn't seem to require anyone else's assistance.
02:30Nowhere for you. Stop running, you liar. Don't you run away.
02:42Don't you run away.
02:46I remember that. I used to eat an herb every night. Even becoming one of the Seven Shrews was just for the sake of food.
02:59But...
03:06But...
03:07But...
03:11But...
03:37But...
03:54Wait, you...
03:59I told you. This is truly tailored for you.
04:07I remember that.
04:08Sorry, Unperception. You seem to fear death just like me.
04:38The story of Lang Que was about to come to an end. The loneliness spanning a century would finally draw to its own conclusion. And before that, as the embodiment of time, you should perhaps hear a conversation that belongs solely to this moment.
04:59Master, before Miss Lang Que and I depart, can I ask you another question in private?
05:19Of course. Let's talk over there.
05:24Sorry, Zafore. It seems me and my disciple have some personal matters to attend to.
05:35It's fine. Go ahead.
05:41This should be a secluded place.
05:46What do you want to tell me?
05:48Master, you haven't fully explained everything to Entropy and the others, have you?
06:02Why do you excel at everything except for the art of deceit and falsehood, just like me?
06:18What do you mean? Master, why are you pretending not to understand? Reintegrating the singularity? It may sound easy, but there's no guarantee of success.
06:38You also played things too recklessly back then. If the divine retribution misses, then it's meant to be.
06:48That's not right. If we find out that even your divine retribution can't guarantee the complete eradication of perception, or if Lantern and I can't weaken its incarnation,
07:01if things turn out that way, maybe we can come up with another solution.
07:07Her bright eyes stared at her master without blinking, leaving him momentarily perplexed. He couldn't discern what kind of answer those eyes were expecting.
07:18I've decided to abandon the rite of tears.
07:35Now, regardless of the outcome besides the battle, I have no regrets. The same goes for the rest of the truce.
07:49Maybe you can act like an impulse, but what about the people of Langqiu, those ordinary folks who can't reach Axia? Are they truly without regrets?
08:05Earlier, you mentioned that I should take your place in the final act. Does that not include them?
08:12Don't worry, Song Que. After a century, and with the support of our ancient friends and foreign visitors, we'll definitely cleanse the Shadow Calamity this time.
08:34As for you representing the Seven Shoes and wielding the Astral Ring Fragment, it's purely because, like Sahadom and Delima, after the rite of shaping, my power has been steadily dwindling.
08:53Unlike you, I'll soon become an ordinary human with no special benefits.
09:09Master, wait a moment. This still isn't right.
09:18What if? What if in the end we can't overcome the will of Shadow, and we have no countermeasures?
09:27If things go orange, we'll just come up with another plan.
09:36But Sahadom can't wait for us to figure out how to deal with them.
09:40Song Que.
09:43Master, earlier I was genuinely happy that you couldn't bring yourself to act. I mean, who isn't afraid of death?
09:54But if we truly fail, and you, Master, out of pity for me, give up the final card of your sleeve, if the outcome is a century long, where everyone in Langqiu, except for a few of us, gets devoured by shadows, Master, can you and the rest of the Shoes truly accept such an ending?
10:18Silence. Faced with his disciples' questioning, the Master fell into constant silence. However, time didn't allow him to ponder at length.
10:32So, in the end, he returned to being calm and decisive strategist, placing the weight of reason back on the scales.
10:42Aren't you afraid?
10:52Master, have you already forgotten how embarrassing I looked during the rite earlier?
11:02But how should I put it?
11:06Practice makes perfect?
11:12I'm not that afraid now. I'm probably about 60%, no, around 30% afraid, compared to then.
11:23Besides, the rite of tears is just a precaution. So long as we successfully eliminate the shadow with your strategy, I'll come back bouncing with energy.
11:34And?
11:36Nothing. I just love everyone and the lively atmosphere of Langqiu.
11:52I understand.
11:55Then, as you wish.
12:03As you wish.
12:09Moving closer, the Master gently placed his steady hand on his disciple's shoulder, and in an instant, she felt a tremendous surge of comforting energy flowing into her and gradually solidifying.
12:23Master.
12:25From this moment on, you inherited the mantle I passed down. Everything is now in your hands.
12:40Is this the ultimate set of the Seven Shoes Cloth?
12:45And your Astral Ring?
12:50Yes.
12:51Venerable Seven Shoes, unite as the One Law. With the support of this set of clones, you alone will be able to face the previous Seven Shoes. The method to reactivate the Zodiac Astral Ring is also contained within.
13:07I only intended to pass this set of clones on to you. But now, I grant you the authority to, when the time comes, based on your own judgment, utilize both your Astral Ring fragment and mine to perform the Rite of Tears.
13:33Finally bring an end to everything concerning the Shadows.
13:44Yes, Master. I hope it never comes to that.
13:48Master, why are you staring at me like that? I'm not bluffing or anything.
14:07In the end, I'm just afraid of losing face in front of my home folks.
14:13Even though I'm so afraid of death, I still care about my reputation.
14:25I was just thinking, maybe you truly are the hope that the Venerable Seven Shoes have sought after a century of despair.
14:37It's not because of your nature as a tree, nor is it because the Rite of Tears is irreplaceable. It's because of the resilience you possess as an individual.
14:49Resilience? Master, I don't understand what you mean. Both Lecter and Ms. Selima ought to say I'm kinda spineless.
15:08Even Donyque thinks it's tougher than me.
15:19No, the resilience I'm referring to isn't that.
15:25It's fine. It's something you already possess. There's no need for me to explain further.
15:38Perhaps. No, it's better not to reveal too much.
15:50Nothing. Time is pressing. I'd like to appear the others have already set off. We shouldn't keep Zavori waiting.
16:00Alright, I'll meet with Lecter right away.
16:08By the way, Master, after I successfully complete the mission in return, you must take me to Ember Street to celebrate.
16:21After driving away the Shadow Calamity, there'll surely be an unprecedented celebration. I can't miss it.
16:31Sure, that's a promise.
16:34Really? Then we also need a big feast.
16:48Didn't I say that the first time we met, I actually liked the hustle and bustle a lot.
17:03It's not that I had a crush on machines right from the start. It's just that I met a girl who was too enthusiastic about her studies.
17:18That's the old volume, Law of Revelation.
17:31It is widely known that the true meaning of the seven truths lie in the seven methods to subdue the ten faces of misery.
17:39However, some of you may have heard that initially they were referred more as the seven truths and one law.
17:49At least at that time, people truly believed in the existence of this law from the bottom of their hearts.
17:57But over the course of a long time, people could never find any evidence of its existence.
18:03Even the evidence that once existed could only be dismissed as misunderstandings.
18:11Then why did people initially believe in its existence?
18:16This perhaps brings us back to the essence of the truth.
18:20Those who, through some means, subdue fear and gain power from the shadows.
18:26Naturally, people felt that there might be individuals among them who could reach the end, meaning that they completely mastered the ten faces of misery.
18:38They no longer needed to access power through methods, but could instead control its rules.
18:45Of course, this is just one interpretation.
18:49Some believe that, in fact, law was the existence that appeared in the world first,
18:56and the methods of the truth were distributed to everyone by that law after careful consideration.
19:04Objectively speaking, this notion is clearly nonsensical.
19:09In summary, thanks to Maria's information, we've debunked previous speculations and unraveled the mystery of the Lantern Melody.
19:19Now let's talk about her seven posts of transfixing shadows.
19:22In summary, thanks to Maria's information, we've debunked previous speculations and unraveled the mystery of the Lantern Melody.
19:35Now let's talk about her seven posts of transfixing shadows, better known as the Seven Nails.
19:41After Long Qiu's inception, the Shus expanded the influence of the Pool of Shadows using these nails, ensuring our land wouldn't be entirely consumed.
19:50Essentially, the power of the Seven Shus has always been sealed within the Seven Nails.
19:57However, according to some rumors, they may contain other things besides power.
20:03If there's a chance, I'll add the strange vision seen by a resident later.
20:08This time, I want to explore a more credible exception.
20:13If you are familiar with my previous work, Cursing the Shadows, The Great Panic, A Hundred-Year Chronicle,
20:20then you'll likely understand that since Lantern is so different from the other Shus, it's probably difficult for her to store power in the nails like them.
20:32So, are her Seven Nails just a facade, or is our understanding incomplete?
20:37Hopefully, Ms. Maria can bring us some new insights.
21:07Balanced Heart
21:09Midnight. The night was thick and silent, like a murky swamp that could drown.
21:14A person and a dog traveled in this night that was as bottomless as death.
21:20A lantern suddenly lit up in the darkness.
21:23They stopped in their tracks and quickly realized that it was not the lantern, but a person.
21:29A person they were very familiar with.
21:32The Toast
21:34A woman with fluorescent hair raised her chin but kept her finger on the trigger,
21:40making it impossible to tell if it was a tired greeting or a warning before a bloody battle.
21:46The Toast, however, only continued along his route that led toward the woman.
21:53The murderous intent from the Ten Faces of Misery amassed in silence and dissipated into nothingness a moment later.
22:01A racket stirred the stillness.
22:04It was a dog growling two tails, protesting loudly.
22:08Hey, the Toast, youâĶ can't you see? She's badly injured now. This is your best chance toâĶ
22:15The woman shifted her cold murderous glare from Donigue to the man behind it.
22:21It's right. I thought we were enemies.
22:25We are not enemies.
22:27I'm not an enemy of anyone.
22:30Including purely evil beings like the Ten Cessations of Shadows.
22:36Good and evil are not absolute. They change with their stance.
22:40A stance of balance is good.
22:43If good and evil are overturned, I do not mind doing evil for good to restore this balance.
22:49A long silence.
22:51Some time had elapsed before the woman spoke again, her voice as chilling as the night wind.
22:57I understand.
22:59She raised her gun and slowly pulled the trigger.
23:02At the same time, cold steel flashed.
23:06Gunfire and sword swing resounded like thunder.
23:10Then the sound of shadows dissipating followed.
23:13The two of them eliminated the danger that lurked behind each other nearly simultaneously.
23:19Don't be surprised.
23:21The woman withdrew her gun coldly.
23:24I didn't fire at you because I knew either of us wanted to fight.
23:28But one day, I will shoot the sinner's dog dead.
23:32Leto didn't answer.
23:35They weren't as staggered drawn.
23:37But what just happened wasn't a gesture of goodwill either.
23:41He realized that this woman was his opposite.
23:45She disregarded the ideology of good and evil altogether.
23:49Because she had attained personal balance.
23:53If times were normal, perhaps her choice would have been right.
23:57A shame, really.
23:59The man kneels in regret.
24:02A shame that good and evil had long been skewed by the shadows.
24:06Or perhaps this was how they were meant to be.
24:10One day, we will know who is in the right when we must fight each other to death.
24:17But you made a move.
24:19You broke the balance.
24:20Even so, are you still sticking to your gun?
24:25Leto didn't immediately give her the answer she demanded.
24:30He picked up Donigue and walked on despite its struggling and barking.
24:35As long as opposition exists in the world, there is balance.
24:40As for you and I, we are the one of them.
24:51You're here to see me? What's the matter?
24:55Hey wait, Lucia's still standing there.
24:59You met Lucia?
25:01Yes, she's my daughter.
25:03She doesn't have many friends.
25:05Leave her up for chatting with her sometime.
25:08It would really make her day.
25:10Please consider this a father's request.
25:20Aurora, Ajita sat in Baiji's parlor, calmly sipping tea.
25:37It's white spring tea, a local special tea of Axia and priceless in Langqiu.
25:43But the tea had already cooled and become bitter.
25:47Ajita didn't mind the bitterness.
25:50A discerning collector, she had been invited as a guest of the nobility
25:57and pursued the markets looking for something that catches her eye.
26:02But treasure needs time before its true splendor is revealed,
26:07and she was always patient.
26:11She heard footsteps from beyond the door,
26:14prompting her to put down her tea and raise an eyebrow in disbelief.
26:20You're late, Master Baiji.
26:23Or are you trying to tell me you've got something good for me this time
26:29and are deliberately keeping me in suspense?
26:33I'm not one to make up stories.
26:36I just don't know the schedule for this particular item,
26:40so I've been delayed for a bit.
26:42But there's one thing you're right about.
26:46It's definitely something good.
26:48In fact, I have reason to suspect that its presence here in Langqiu
26:55is a bit of a blessing in itself.
26:58Ajita was still sizing up the man that stood before her.
27:03He was not a parvenu with shallow taste
27:07and not a naive spoiled child of a rich family.
27:12She trusted his eye
27:14and so was all the more amazed by his discovery.
27:23I've been hunting for treasure for decades
27:27and have gotten my hands on quite a collection.
27:30And even if I don't own it, I at least know of it.
27:35So what is this thing that you've got?
27:39A star.
27:41A star?
27:42She couldn't help but chuff as though hearing the fantasies of some child.
27:49You ought to know, covering Langqiu's canopy is nothing but...
27:55How does a star fall into your hands?
27:59Just look.
28:01He held out his hands,
28:04a piercing light blossomed from his palm.
28:07Ajita could see a ring of radiant star.
28:12It was a star by name
28:15with the form of a ring.
28:18Only the name star could truly describe its radiance.
28:23Ajita let out a sigh of relief
28:26at the sight of the precious treasure.
28:29She reached out her hand.
28:32That brilliant light, however,
28:35dispersed as Bai Xi put back his palm.
28:39How is it?
28:40With an eye like yours,
28:43you ought to know I tell the truth.
28:48I didn't expect you'd have such a precious treasure.
28:53I wonder if you'd be willing to part with it.
28:57I could share a little known secret with you in exchange.
29:02I'm sorry, but it's falling into my hands for another purpose.
29:06From your reaction, I can see my guess is not unfounded.
29:12Oh?
29:14I'm going to use it to make something never before seen.
29:19A human god.
