My Dear Brothers Episode 35 (Ending) Recap
> My Dear Brothers Recap
The Immortal-Demon Array shook violently and developed cracks, its stability threatened. Yuan Zhao urgently rallied everyone to help protect the array. Meanwhile, Qiu Li, witnessing the chaos, declared that the array was already destroyed and that their efforts were futile. She warned that continuing would only deplete their power, leading to their demise, and that if the array was truly ruined, the entire Cultivation World would cease to exist.
Outside the Divine Palace, Yuan Ye gathered other cultivators to wield their force and guard the palace. Shi Xia discovered her ring possessed protective abilities and immediately tried to pull Shi Dong into its safe zone. However, Qiu Li swiftly intervened, pulling Shi Dong away. Distraught, Shi Xia chased after them.
This distraction momentarily caused Bi Hong and Hou Chi to lose focus on stabilizing the array, but Yuan Zhao sternly reminded them to concentrate, prompting them to reluctantly set aside their worries for Shi Xia and return their attention to the trembling Immortal-Demon Array. Qiu Li, holding Shi Dong, excitedly declared that they would soon be together forever, and everyone else would "accompany them in death."
Shi Dong, understanding her deep-seated hatred for this world, offered to take her to his world instead, urging her that there was no need to destroy this one. Qiu Li, however, questioned his sincerity, stating she did not believe him. Just then, a large rock hurtled towards them. Without hesitation, Shi Dong pushed Qiu Li out of the way, taking the full impact himself.
This selfless act deeply moved Qiu Li, and the benevolent Bai Li spirit within her awakened, expressing heartfelt apologies to Shi Dong. As Shi Xia arrived, concerned for her brother, Shi Dong, wishing to spare her worry, quickly assured her he was fine, releasing Qiu Li's hand and taking Shi Xia's. Seeing her hand released, Qiu Li's dark manifestation, Hei Li, resurfaced, consumed by jealousy.
Hei Li called Shi Dong a liar and, clutching a dagger, vowed to kill Shi Xia, stating she would rather die with Shi Dong than share him with anyone. Shi Dong desperately pleaded with Qiu Li to resist Hei Li's control and "be who she really is." Hei Li, furious, continued to attack Shi Xia, declaring she would kill them both. However, Bai Li fought back internally, leading to a fierce struggle within Qiu Li.
Ultimately, Bai Li gained control, sacrificing herself by stabbing the dagger into her own heart. Shi Dong was devastated, holding the dying Qiu Li. With her last breaths, Qiu Li expressed gratitude for meeting him and for his love. Her final wish was for Shi Dong to call her "sister," which he did, moments before she peacefully closed her eyes. Yuan Zhao, in his final moments, exerted all his remaining strength to stabilize the Immortal-Demon Array.
Hou Chi, heartbroken and calling him "Father," attempted to reach him, but Yuan Zhao stopped him, urging him not to waste time. He stressed that the array was at its limit and the switch must be activated to prevent the catastrophe, imploring Hou Chi to "go!" and protect the array. Bi Hong also urged Hou Chi to heed their Master and safeguard the array.
Before his spirit dissipated, Yuan Zhao revealed to both Hou Chi and Bi Hong that, in his heart, he had always regarded them as his sons. He apologized for not being able to protect them. Hou Chi and Bi Hong watched in anguish as Yuan Zhao vanished into thin air. Shi Dong returned with Qiu Li's body, and her spiritual root consciously flew into the Immortal-Demon Array.
A remnant soul of a divine official then appeared, stating that the array was activated and doom was imminent, urging them to complete the sacrifice quickly. The official explained that the array contained an enchantment for void space travel, which would merge the user with the array, and that Bi Hong's fated spiritual root was the final component needed. He implored them to stop the calamity and save the world. Knowing it was his time, Bi Hong prepared himself.
Hou Chi tried to stop him, noting that Bi Hong had already shattered his arteries by forcefully activating his spiritual root. Bi Hong smiled, expressing satisfaction with his two centuries of cultivation. He told Hou Chi that Hou Chi was his only remaining worry and asked him to take care of himself and protect Shi Xia. After bidding Hou Chi farewell, Bi Hong, using the official seal of the head of the Alliance, entered the Immortal-Demon Array.
Inside, he saw visions of Yuan Zhao and Qiu Li, reunited and happy, a family that could finally be together forever. With a peaceful smile, Bi Hong sacrificed himself, and his spirit also vanished. His spiritual root then returned to Hou Chi's body.
Shi Xia pondered why Bi Hong's spiritual root returned to Hou Chi, considering that perhaps, as Hou Chi had mentioned, their destinies were truly intertwined, thus upon Bi Hong's demise, his spiritual root naturally reverted to Hou Chi. Hou Chi understood that he was now destined to complete Bi Hong's unfinished mission. Hou Chi, recognizing that his destiny was entwined with Bi Hong's and the mission to protect the array, declared he would fulfill it.
Shi Dong, worried for Shi Xia, reminded Hou Chi of his promise to look after his sister. Shi Xia affirmed that she would allow Hou Chi to protect the world if he allowed her to protect her family and beloved. Shi Dong, however, voiced his fear that if Shi Xia stayed and Hou Chi died, she would be left alone.
Hou Chi assured them that he would first use the void space technique during his sacrifice to send both Shi Xia and Shi Dong back to their own world, urging Shi Xia to live a good life there. Shi Xia, in tears, took Hou Chi's hand and led him to the sacrificial altar, reminding him of their unbreakable contract. Suddenly, Shi Xia awoke in her modern world, seeing Shi Dong cooking porridge.
Overjoyed, she asked if he remembered their time in the Cultivation World. Shi Dong, however, had no recollection, thinking she was delirious from a fever and recounting how her classmate had called him after she had fainted in the amusement park. Shi Xia then noticed a small glass ball beside her, the one she had crafted for Hou Chi in the Cultivation World.
Ignoring Shi Dong's calls, she rushed to the amusement park, desperately searching for the familiar puddle that once served as a portal. But it was now just an ordinary puddle, holding no magic. As Shi Xia stood there, heartbroken, a familiar figure appeared behind her, holding an umbrella. It was Hou Chi. He had not forgotten their promise, and the lovers were finally reunited in her world.
