[Adapted from Tencent Animation's comic of the same name]
In that case,
please let me enter the city.
I have to save her.
Fine,
this is an opportunity.
Before leaving,
let me tell you some information.
After you hear it,
you can decide whether to save them.
Don't talk.
Enjoy it quietly.
This information
was sent to you by your big brother.
It has always been in your Heavenly Eye.
Big Brother?
If that lady hadn't been protecting you in secret in Mu Tian City,
this ray of white light in your Heavenly Eye from your brother
would've been assimilated by Jin Chenxi.
What are all these that killed Big Brother?
Black Foxes.
A creature from the beyond called Black Foxes.
In a sense,
the girl you wish to save
belong to the same kind as them.
All right.
You should know everything now.
Well, do you still want to enter the city?
Big Brother.
You already knew
before you returned to the city?
That's right.
I've also made my decision.
But when you saw your brother's message just now...
That grief and wrath...
I'm just a mortal
who falters due to emotions.
At that time,
I stood outside Mu Tian City for a long time.
I can't deny that all kinds of thoughts crossed my mind.
I thought about leaving for good.
I also thought about avenging my brother.
I even...
thought about killing all the creatures from the beyond.
Including you.
But at that time,
a single thought overwhelmed my mind.
If I didn't return,
I'd regret it for the rest of my life.
Big Brother sent back that message
not to convey hatred.
He wanted to pass on his knowledge
and cultivation.
The message conveyed that creatures from the beyond
have minds like humans and demons.
The difference lies in
how creatures from the beyond cling to one belief for life.
On the other hand, demons and humans weigh many notions
before making a decision.
With my Heavenly Eye, I can tell
the two of you are one.
How long must a dream be for hope to sprout?
The most bitter lovesickness
The farthest is forgetting
[Fox Spirit Matchmaker]
Fiddling with love
My ignorance
You occupy my mind
When I gaze at you
Ignoring the rain and storms
I can take that with me
The fragile hope
Drowning in the illusion of love
You will leap into the deep ocean
I'm like a moth
Fluttering to the flame
Never regretting this love even in death
You burn like a fire and shine like a light
I'll hurtle toward the flame regardless of your will
My selfishness
It's just to protect you
[Episode 141]
We are...
One?
No.
Young Lord,
you still don't understand.
Since we were born,
we've been disparate.
No.
You don't understand.
I can see the way everyone uses magic powers.
Every demon in White Jade Village
had their magic powers mobilized by Jin Chenxi's rays.
As for you... You...
Gosh, go on.
Since you started this,
finish your sentence.
Otherwise, nothing will be resolved.
Regardless of whether you were red-eyed or blue-eyed,
the mobilization of your demonic powers
was always a single color.
You've always assumed you're separate entities,
but you've always been a sole individual.
both of you were once Jin Chenxi.
We were once...
Jin Chenxi?
We were once Jin Chenxi.
Jin Chenxi!
What happened?
Seems like a loss of control.
Hey!
Listen to me.
The real Cuiyu Mingluan
ceased to exist in White Jade Village ages ago.
I don't know what happened,
but you're an entity beyond my explanation.
In other words,
you're something closer to humans or demons.
Why do you make that claim?
Hurry up!
Tell me.
Why aren't I a creature from the beyond?
Why aren't I Jin Chenxi?
That's because creatures from the beyond
can never hold two thoughts at the same time.
Since you were born,
you bore two contradictory yet unified thoughts.
Just like humans and demons.
Humans and demons
often act differently from their thoughts.
Boss Rong is a good example.
She often praises me,
but she thinks that a few praises can help her cut my bonus.
I appear obedient to my boss,
but I curse her and her profiteering ways in my mind.
This is how humans and demons are.
Duplicity is a common trait between humans and demons.
You share this trait.
So, you're no longer Jin Chenxi.
Even though your two notions appear to diverge,
they always shared one thing in common.
This is also very similar to humans and demons.
You once had a desire to protect your fearful heart.
After that,
it was unified because of him.
To protect him and what his brother left for him,
you came to Mu Tian City, a place that might assimilate you.
You even inhaled Jin Chenxi
and subjected yourself to Jin Chenxi's control again.
This was a unilateral decision by both notions.
No.
In the end, my two thoughts still diverged.
The blue-eyed me
was content to fool Young Lord Mu successfully
and live on in his heart after death as a farce of Cuiyu Mingluan.
But the red-eyed me
genuinely hated myself
for being the same species as his brother's murderer.
It was utter despair.
You have yet to adapt
to thinking of humans and demons.
Listen up.
Acting differently from your thoughts
is the normal psychology of humans and demons.
As humans and demons,
we are often caught in dilemmas.
But our multitude of opinions
helps us make more reasonable decisions by weighing each choice.
You exposed your purest thoughts
to Mu Mie.
That's the multifaceted thought process of humans and demons,
considering the price and consequences of decisions.
Right now,
you are nothing like a creature from the beyond.
At most,
you're a demon with schizophrenia.
I see.
Two versions of me are just diverging opinions.
Well, Young Lord, which me do you prefer?
Even though it's just a difference of beliefs,
these are still different forms of me.
So, Young Lord,
which one do you prefer?
Why don't they get it?!
Big Brother Taoist, don't be impulsive.
Big Brother Taoist!
Black Fox!
What do you want now?
Big Sister,
there's trouble.
The connection in there was snapped.
Right now, it's giving off a nasty stench.
Why is it speeding up all of a sudden?
Young Master Wang, keep running!
Run!
How is it?
Her powers suddenly...
got stronger!
She even merged with Jin Chenxi.
But if she does this,
she might also be infected by Jin Chenxi.
On the other hand,
the situation inside must've gotten more dangerous.
Darn it.
Even after doing this,
we couldn't stop it completely.
Little Mu,
please don't...
Please don't make the wrong choice.
Red-eyed me is the real me,
but blue-eyed me is capable of thoughts.
Young Lord,
which one is better?
Big Brother,
please lend me your strength.
This is the right way of using the illusion you taught me, isn't it?
This place again.
This is where we first met.
That's a demon.
So scary.
It's dangerous to meet a demon in an unfamiliar place.
I should attack first.
When she's not looking,
I'll attack her first.
No, I can't.
She didn't do anything wrong.
It's wrong to attack her.
She seems familiar with this area.
Maybe she can show you the way out.
No way.
Demons are extremely dangerous.
We should make her lose her ability to attack right away.
No.
It's not right to do that.
There's no right or wrong.
- One is my genuine thoughts. -Demons deserve to die.
The other is the ideal I wish to become.
At that time,
the final decision I made was to...
It was the same at White Jade Village.
When Master's life was at stake...
Big Sister Yaya,
wh-what are you doing?
I can't beat her! Run!
Yet, another part of me was saying,
"Don't run away."
Master!
it was also the same the gates of Mu Tian City.
At that time,
I wanted to kill you.
Yet, I wanted to be clear on what to do.
In the end,
I just rushed in foolishly.
Which one of all these do you like?
The real me isn't wrong.
But for the sake of being a better person,
there's nothing wrong with holding back, changing, and restraining yourself.
If you insist on sticking to your true self,
you'll never grow up.
All those forms of me
have vanished into the past.
But they might reappear in the future.
They will continue to leave traces on me.
All these versions of me
will help me
become a better person now or in the future.
You once thought so, too.
That's why you used Jin Chenxi
to become who you are now.
Big Brother Taoist, look!
This white light is keeping the Black Fox out.
Little Mu is pretty impressive.
In that case,
we don't have to work so hard.
Come on, let's go in!
Okay!
Ungrateful brat.
Why won't you let us in?!
Do you think we're distractions?
Jin Chenxi went in.
Why?
Why can Jin Chenxi invade this region?
It's the physique.
Miss Leech's physique is different from ours.
The traits of Jin Chenxi on her make here susceptible to the control of Black Foxes.
Her mind can be invaded.
Moreover, the intrusion of Jin Chenxi means
things aren't over yet in there.
What are these?
Naturally, it's me.
This voice.
Li Muchen.
Miss, you—
You're a mere offspring of Jin Chenxi.
It's a miracle that you gained independent thought.
But you want to subvert your true nature
to unite into one?
The more you desire unification,
the more you'll be assimilated by Jin Chenxi.
Creatures from the beyond are freaks of thoughts.
You only persist blindly
with a single belief.
You're right.
But can you believe this?
Li Muchen,
ever since I got this body,
everything started to change.
Ever since my birth,
I formed two thoughts.
In order to save my life,
these two notions
came to a common decision
to fight for freedom under Red Eye's control.
After that,
I saw a demon captured by White Jade Village.
She said,
"Save me!"
I clearly felt her inner thoughts.
That was incredible.
A monster like me only functions on my sole belief.
Yet, I could understand the thoughts of another creature unbound to me.
I could choose to empathize and help.
After I met you,
something more fascinating happened.
Questions on what you were thinking formed in my mind.
When you talk,
when you do something,
what are you thinking?
What will you think of me?
For the first time,
I felt that being able to think
was so interesting.
It's so appealing.
It's so beautiful.
It's beautiful.
I'll be pleased because of his happiness.
I'll be sad because of his misery.
Happiness.
Sadness.
I could experience these new words vividly in this body.
Those feelings mesmerized me.
I finally understood
where thought begins and ends.
The physical body provides sensations.
Sensations guide thought.
Thoughts pave the way for beliefs.
And the heart decides the criteria for adopting beliefs.
This belief
is me.
Before Mu Tian City absorbed an immense amount of Jin Chenxi,
I had almost figured it out.
And you, Li Muchen,
you're a physical being born in the perimeter.
Have you ever tried considering the thoughts of others?
The Black Fox used you as a medium.
That is her biggest failure.
That's because you
don't know anything.
I have thoughts pointing in all directions
It's hard to talk about my troubles
I have worries on my mind
It's hard to make a choice
I saw
You are in tears
There are many choices to be made in life
I haven't figured it out yet
I give up on my swirling thoughts
All that's left is you in my heart
Strengthen my true heart forever
My eyes see untainted pure colors
I'm mulling over countless diverging thoughts
People should follow their heart
