> Love and Redemption Recap

After learning her identity, the God of War questioned King Bailin, demanding an explanation from him and seeking to retrieve her heart and soul. For years, the God of War had been muddled, without a name or family, merely King Bailin's puppet and killing tool. Every time she killed a member of the Asura tribe, her heart would ache. Now, the entire Asura tribe had been annihilated, and all of this was King Bailin's doing.

The God of War wanted justice for herself. If the Heavenly Emperor and the heavenly realm didn't give her an explanation, she would burn down the heavenly realm. King Bailin, holding the God of War's heart and soul, easily struck down the God of War. The memory ends here. Demon Maleficent awakened in the water and ascended to the heavenly realm with Yu Sifeng. The heavenly realm was as despicable and faithless as it had been in the past.

Demon Maleficent showed no more mercy. He placed Yu Sifeng in a barrier, while he himself would kill everyone in the heavenly realm and then overturn the Hongmeng furnace, allowing the three realms to be reshaped. Demon Maleficent withdrew the Sea of Life and Death. Yuan Lang led the various demon races from the demon realm to attack the heavenly realm, and the celestial-demon war began anew.

Demon Maleficent broke the barrier set up by King Bailin and prepared to overturn the Hongmeng furnace. Teng She blocked the door. But for Demon Maleficent, Teng She was no match. King Bailin invited Demon Maleficent with an illusion to rekindle their past and drink together. A thousand years ago, a cup of wine had already caused Demon Maleficent to be stripped of his tendons and bones. How could Demon Maleficent believe him again?

He broke the illusion and confronted King Bailin directly. King Bailin still insisted that his attempts to convert Demon Maleficent for a thousand years could not quell the Asura's resentment, not admitting any mistake. He even brought out the Thirty-six Tiangang Treasure Mirror to deal with Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent had absorbed too much of the Asura tribe's resentment in the Sea of Life and Death, making it effortless to resist the power of the Thirty-six Tiangang.

Inside, King Bailin was helpless against Demon Maleficent, and outside, the demon race led by Yuan Lang showed no weakness either. King Bailin in the Zhongtian Hall used the laws of the heavenly way to suppress Demon Maleficent. But the Hongmeng furnace was the origin of all laws of the heavenly way. Overturn it and reshape the rules, and the laws of the heavenly way would cease to exist.

King Bailin assumed Demon Maleficent did not know the location of the Hongmeng furnace. However, Demon Maleficent had once been the God of War of the heavenly realm. He transformed his true form into the God of War, easily found the location of the Hongmeng furnace, and slowly pushed the furnace with immense power. Outside, Yu Sifeng continuously used his power to break the barrier.

Seeing that the furnace was about to be pushed over, all things in the three realms would be destroyed. The Wu Zhiqi group had already found the Queen Mother's backyard, but were again blocked by heavenly officials. So, the few of them shouted for the Heavenly Emperor outside, and indeed successfully met the Heavenly Emperor. Linglong explained their purpose, requesting the Heavenly Emperor's help to save the three realms and save Chu Xuanji.

The Heavenly Emperor had long foreseen karmic retribution, and today's situation was also created by his inability to persuade King Bailin back then. However, the reshaping of the three realms and the destiny were thus, and the Heavenly Emperor did not want to interfere and change destiny. To persuade the Heavenly Emperor, Linglong listed the destinies of several people and also explained that Yu Sifeng was Xi Xuan of the heavenly realm.

But the Heavenly Emperor was still stubborn, insisting on solving the chess game and waiting for destiny. In her haste, Linglong polluted the chessboard, causing the chess game to be solved. The Heavenly Emperor did not blame Linglong for her rashness. Instead, he became enlightened. Being within the game, he did not know how to solve it, but Linglong jumped out of the situation and unexpectedly solved it.

The destiny had arrived, and the Heavenly Emperor was willing to return to the heavenly realm with Linglong and the others to resolve the crisis. Demon Maleficent intended to use the face of the God of War to destroy the heavenly realm that King Bailin had painstakingly protected. The flames from the Hongmeng furnace poured into the mortal realm, causing widespread death and suffering, just as when the Asura tribe was annihilated back then.

Demon Maleficent wanted to completely overturn the Hongmeng furnace. Only at this moment did King Bailin feel fear. He came in his true form to stop Demon Maleficent, but Demon Maleficent pushed King Bailin to the ground. Yu Sifeng arrived in time to persuade Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent was not Chu Xuanji at this moment; his heart only contained hatred, not love. Overthrowing the three realms and making love and hate disappear suited his purpose.

If Yu Sifeng tried to persuade him further, Demon Maleficent would kill him too. Yu Sifeng was determined to die at this moment; he had not left half of his primordial spirit in the demon realm. Rather than becoming a walking corpse without memories, it was better to die here at the hands of Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent was only interested in overturning the furnace and had no interest in killing Yu Sifeng personally.

Yu Sifeng desperately resisted the power of Juntian Cehai. Just as Yu Sifeng was about to be unable to resist, the Heavenly Emperor appeared and blocked Juntian Cehai. The Heavenly Emperor first showed concern for Yu Sifeng, and then Demon Maleficent shed the appearance of the God of War and conversed with the Heavenly Emperor. Furthermore, the Heavenly Emperor brought Wu Zhiqi, Linglong, and the others to the heavenly realm as well.

The feud between King Bailin and Demon Maleficent concerned the three realms and required representatives from all three realms to be present. King Bailin still accused Demon Maleficent of being a great demon, but King Bailin created the God of War, activated the All Heavens Meteor Star Array, and released the Sea of Life and Death. Every single one of these acts was horrific and harmed the common people.

The Heavenly Emperor unceremoniously pointed out that it was King Bailin who had become possessed by demonic nature. What King Bailin had been protecting was merely his own delusion, not the three realms at all. In fact, the mistake started from the edge of the White Jade Pavilion by the Ruo Shui. The one who was wrong was King Bailin.

A thousand years ago, Demon Maleficent had already persuaded King Asura to withdraw his troops and preserve peace in the three realms. But King Bailin was obsessed with his delusion, killed the Star of Mosha, and created the God of War, only then causing the three realms to never find peace. Later, the God of War descended to the mortal realm to undergo trials.

In fact, she had already completed ten lifetimes and returned to the heavenly realm with Yu Sifeng. The God of War's heart had been reborn with flesh and blood; she understood worldly love and affection and was willing to join hands with Yu Sifeng to protect the common people of the three realms together. It was King Bailin who repeatedly obstructed, causing the God of War to be filled with hostility, making her trials difficult.

In fact, King Bailin had planted evil in his heart from the beginning and then used that evil to accuse others. King Bailin's inner demon was deeply rooted; he had not comprehended the great truth that everything in the world is empty. There was no distinction of status between the heavenly realm, mortal realm, and the demon-Asura realm. King Bailin realized his great mistake and requested instructions from the Heavenly Emperor on how to remedy it.

But it was too late. King Bailin was willing to dispel his divine status and immortal powers to appease the three realms. The celestial officials in the heavenly realm were reluctant for King Bailin to do this, but King Bailin's decision was final. The Heavenly Emperor could only follow the law of destiny and allow King Bailin to punish himself in this way.

King Bailin, in front of everyone, stripped away his divine status and was reduced to a loose immortal. However, even with this, King Bailin still could not eliminate the resentment in Demon Maleficent's heart. In this lifetime, Demon Maleficent had already found the person he loved most. The Heavenly Emperor persuaded Demon Maleficent to let go of past resentment and not drown in anger. Demon Maleficent did not listen to the persuasion.

In the eyes of the heavenly realm, whether human or demon, they were all so lowly. Gods were forever high above. Only by overturning the Hongmeng furnace and reshaping the rules of the three realms could everything be settled. The Heavenly Emperor would not rashly interfere with the pushing of the Hongmeng furnace. He only warned Demon Maleficent of the consequences after it was overturned: regardless of family or friends, all karma would dissipate.

Yu Sifeng desperately persuaded Demon Maleficent to look back at the loved ones beside him. Regardless of the past, the current Demon Maleficent had family and friends; they all deeply loved Demon Maleficent. Seeing that Demon Maleficent was about to be moved, Yuan Lang quickly pointed out that the people present cared about Chu Xuanji, not Demon Maleficent. Only by overturning the furnace and allowing the remaining demon primordial spirits to survive would the demon race rule the three realms.

Demon Maleficent persisted stubbornly, and the Heavenly Emperor allowed him to do so. At this moment, Chu Xuanji's memories scattered and appeared. Seeing the loved ones and friends disappearing one by one before her, there was a struggle between Chu Xuanji and Demon Maleficent. Demon Maleficent also shed Chu Xuanji's tears.

It turned out that the Heavenly Emperor had just strummed the string of the Yellow Millet Dream, allowing Demon Maleficent to see what would happen after the Hongmeng furnace was overturned, hoping this would make Demon Maleficent reconsider. Yu Sifeng seized the opportunity to persuade Demon Maleficent that since flesh and blood had grown in his heart, he should not be blinded by hatred.

But Yuan Lang was at the side, slandering Yu Sifeng, saying he had betrayed Demon Maleficent and conspired with King Bailin to harm him. Fortunately, Demon Maleficent deeply believed in Yu Sifeng's bond of ten lifetimes and would not betray him. Instead, he wanted to settle the score for Yuan Lang's past betrayal and ordered Yuan Lang to commit suicide in front of everyone. Yuan Lang was enraged and swore to become the master of the three realms and overturn the furnace.
