00:00My sister screamed for three days and sighed inside of the devil's seal before she died.
00:06No one came.
00:08My parents were too busy throwing a banquet for Lilith, the orphan they loved more than their own blood.
00:15And my husband? He was in Lilith's bed.
00:18For five years I tore this world apart looking for my elder sister Sophia.
00:23They told me she vanished. They told me she left willingly.
00:26They told me to stop asking questions and be grateful.
00:30Grateful that Lilith sacrificed her flesh and blood to seal the devil's lies.
00:34Every word built on my sister's bones.
00:37Sophia didn't vanish. She was sealed alive inside the devil's abbess.
00:42Her soul devoured. Her screams swallowed by darkness.
00:46And above her grave, Lilith smiled for the crowd and played the saint.
00:52Filled with rage and determined to avenge her, I suddenly heard her voice.
00:57Elara, I have returned to the Celestial Kingdom.
01:00Hurry and die, so you can come back too.
01:03My memories flooded back an instant.
01:06Good thanks to her reminder.
01:08I had truly forgotten.
01:11I was an ancient archangel.
01:14Descending to the mortal realm to undergo a divine trial.
01:17Yet I believed I was just a native of this world.
01:20I had failed my love trial, but I still had to uphold my sacred duty.
01:24I decided to do one last good deed before I die.
01:27Seal the devils completely.
01:28As I approached the devil's seal, I received voice transmissions from my husband and parents.
01:34Drama queen, you've come up with such a foolish trick.
01:37Just trying to imitate Lilith by sealing devils.
01:40Step into the seal and you'll die for sure.
01:43Dare you really go through with it?
01:44It was that Lilith again.
01:46For her, everyone had lost their mind.
01:50I touched the time-bearing crystal in my arms and stepped boldly into the seal.
01:57A dragon general could not help but urge me.
02:00He's only taking a mistress.
02:02You will still be his only official wife.
02:07Even if you're angry, you don't have to risk your life.
02:10Just to spite his pine as the crown prince.
02:13I'm really not doing this for him.
02:15My words were sincere, yet no one believed me.
02:18Everyone assumed I was furious that Alexander was taking Lilith as his mistress.
02:23Staking my life to put on a grand show and ruin Lilith's happiness.
02:27I was no longer Alara, the mortal princess consumed by love.
02:31As I stepped closer and closer to the seal, the communication amulet at my waist suddenly lit up.
02:39You'll stop at nothing to prevent me from marrying Lilith.
02:44Lilith's father saved your knave.
02:46Five years ago, she sacrificed her sure flesh and blood to seal the devils.
02:51She's in poor health.
02:53Only when you'll whiz to with me, just as a mordons.
02:56We abuse you leave her in a peace.
02:58On our winding day, you threaten me with your life
03:01and drive away from the Bell, Ren, Gui, and Longzous.
03:05Humiliaring Lilith.
03:06Alara, I hope you really dare to die.
03:13Alara, I hope you really dare to die.
03:16Or I'll lose all respect for you.
03:19His voice was furious, almost a snar, and alongside it came Lilith's sobbing, pitiful whimpers.
03:26Alara, you and your sister Sophia are truly siblings.
03:29She was lead and shameless, abandoning righteousness for a man and fleeing during the prayer ceremony,
03:33forcing Lilith to sacrifice her flesh and blood.
03:36And you, following her example, consumed by jealousy, humiliating her on her wedding day.
03:41I give you one last chance.
03:43Return with the guests to the wedding, and kneel to apologize to Lilith.
03:49Or else.
03:50He ground his teeth.
03:52Malice is dripping from his voice.
03:54Even if you are a princess, I will still divorce you.
03:59Alara!
04:01Stop this farce!
04:03You're just as hypocritical as your worthless sister!
04:06I've had the worst luck.
04:09Both my own daughters, Borat, are vicious and despicable!
04:16Ungrateful Rhett!
04:18Lilith's father saved your lives!
04:23A sharp pain pierced my heart, and I trembled with anger.
04:28Even though I knew this was only a love trial, the love and pain I felt were real.
04:33My elder sister Sophia had died in the Devil's Seal in this life five years ago and still bore such
04:38vile slander.
04:39During the great war between angels and devils, my sister and I fought side by side.
04:45But General Blackwood was distracted, and later died carelessly in battle.
04:50When we returned to the angelic realm, a rumor spread for no reason.
04:53General Blackwood had died on the battlefield saving the two princesses.
04:56Everyone mourns General Blackwood.
04:58No one will believe you if you say he didn't save you.
05:01Lilith, the hero's daughter, fainted at his funeral, sending everyone's sympathy soaring.
05:06Under public pressure, I will adopt Lilith.
05:08But rest assured, I know the truth.
05:11He said Lilith could never compare to my sister and me.
05:15But as days turned to months, the adopted daughter eventually overshadowed his own flesh and blood.
05:21But General Blackwood never saved us.
05:23You call my sister and I vicious and dispillable.
05:25Then what about the Blackwood family?
05:27Have you lied so much, pretended for so long that falsehood has become true?
05:30My father's scolding fell silence, and the other end of the communication amulet went dead quiet.
05:35The princess is denying my father's life-saving grace.
05:38It's my fault.
05:40I angered the princess and tarnished my dead father's reputation.
05:45My father devoted his life to the angelic realm.
05:49He cannot bear the princess's slander.
05:52You hate my husband for loving me and jeetled me.
05:55I can ginsho, but I never tolerate you, Sander, my father.
05:58I will give my life to defend my father's innocence.
06:07Enough, Alar.
06:07You've lost your mind to jealousy.
06:09Everyone knows General Blackwood saved you.
06:11How dare you speak such nonsense?
06:13Lilith has fainted from grief.
06:15Return at once and fix this mess.
06:17Do you want your father and I to be shamed for mistreating the hero's daughter?
06:20It was my own weakness.
06:22Having lived for 10,000 years, I had fallen to a love trial.
06:25Family love and romantic love, I had gained neither.
06:28Let's go.
06:29I had not walked far, when shouts erupted behind me.
06:32Deadly attacks rained down from the sky.
06:36Traitors!
06:37Witch, drop deed!
06:39Ungrateful monster!
06:40You don't deserve to live!
06:42How tragic that General Blackwood died for saving someone like you!
06:45He should never have saved you!
06:47You repay kindness with cruelty and bully the hero's daughter!
06:50We'll avenge Ms. Lilith!
06:51These men had all served under General Blackwood.
06:54They had attended Limith's wedding and heard my words through the communication amulet.
06:58Filled with righteous indignation, they rushed to defend Limith.
07:01More and more people swarmed to attack me.
07:04Sword blades sliced my arm, whipped lost my body.
07:07He never saved me!
07:08The Blackwood family are the liars!
07:11Even now you won't tell the truth?
07:13Don't you really know if my sister is dead or fled?
07:15I'm being cursed and attacked!
07:17Don't you feel even a shred of pity?
07:18I found the secret letter my sister left me!
07:20The Blackwood family colluded with-
07:22Silence!
07:23I'll beat you to death, you ranting monster!
07:28I'll beat you to death, you ranting monster!
07:31Yet the pain on my face was not even a hundredth of the pain in my heart.
07:36My mother was this agitated.
07:37Why would she not let me finish speaking?
07:39I stared at her, covering my stinging cheek, and saw a flash of guilt cross her face and my father's.
07:46Before I regained my angelic memories, I had loved my parents in this life with all my heart.
07:52Even when they favored Lilith, I had made endless excuses for them.
07:56But now, I understood everything.
07:59Very well, let's say I'm ranting nonsense.
08:01I only ask you do not stop me from sealing the devils and give the innocent a chance to live.
08:06The moment I finished, my father waved his hand and knocked me micently to the ground.
08:11Even now, you still refuse to yield.
08:13What ability do you have to seal the devils?
08:15Last time, your sister boasted the same, vowing to pray and seal the devils.
08:19And what happened?
08:20She fled that very day.
08:21Only Lilith sacrificed her flesh and blood to save us all.
08:24Now you'll make the same fool of yourself!
08:29My sister did not flee!
08:31The day before, she said she had a secret about the Blackwood family to reveal at the
08:36prayer ceremony!
08:38The next day, Sophia vanished.
08:40Too much of a coincidence.
08:42Everyone claimed she had run away.
08:44Even her husband, Lucien, refused to believe her.
08:47Lilith became the hero who saved everyone.
08:49And my sister, Sophia, cursed by thousands, stripped of her title as princess,
08:55Lucien became Lilith's loyal lap hog.
08:58I realized this lifetime of love and hate was nothing but a trial of family and love.
09:04We had both failed.
09:05No one truly loved us.
09:07No one trusted us.
09:08Before returning to the celestial kingdom, sealing the devils was the last thing I could do for
09:13this world.
09:14Speak one more word slandering Lilith and the Blackwood family, and I will divorce you.
09:19Alara, I give you one final chance.
09:23Kneel and apologize to Lilith and General Blackwood's spirit.
09:26War looked at him calmly and sneered.
09:29Then divorce me.
09:31Before he could react, I tore the engagement ring through my finger and smashed it violently
09:36to the ground.
09:38From this day on, all ties between us are severed just like this ring.
09:45To regain my freedom before death, it was a small comfort.
09:53How far will you go?
09:55How could you break our engagement ring so easily?
09:58On our wedding day, we each held a matching ring, dripped our blood onto it, and swore love
10:02for three lifetimes.
10:04I'm not acting out.
10:05I mean every word.
10:07Alexander, if you love Lilith, why bind me to you for three lifetimes?
10:14And this heart, beating in my chest.
10:17Years ago, I had been injured and stranded in the Eastern Sea.
10:21Alexander had saved me, placing a dragon crystal he had cultivated for half his lifetime, inside
10:26my heart to heal my body.
10:29I had once thought this was proof of his love, on countless nights of heartache and sorrow.
10:37It's time to give it back.
10:41I stabbed the dagger deep into my chest, and a glowing dragon crystal appeared in my hand.
10:51Uncontrollable blood burst from my mouth, soaking my robes.
10:55Allura!
10:57How could you be so reckless?
10:59All you had to do was kneel and apologize.
11:00Why hurt yourself like this?
11:01Even if I take Lilith, you will still be my only wife.
11:04No wonder he misunderstood.
11:06Everyone had seen how deeply I once loved him.
11:09The angelic realm respected strength above all, regardless of gender.
11:13In this life, I had been born with extraordinary angelic power.
11:16Barring accident, I would have been the next empress of the angelic realm.
11:19Yet after traveling to the Eastern Sea for training, I had stubbornly insisted on marrying.
11:24I gave up my title as future empress to become the crown princess of the dragon climb, devoting myself to
11:30husband and children, spending my life with Alexander.
11:34I endured the confusion and mockery of my clan, telling myself countless times, as long as I could be with
11:40Alexander, everything was worth it.
11:46Princess Alara, why do you hate me so much that you threatened my foster parents and husband with your life?
11:51My father died for you, yet I bear you no grudge.
11:55A shadow flashed across her eyes, gone in an instant.
11:58Very well, you are a princess, I dare compete.
12:02Let me day and everyone will be at peace.
12:05Her eyes reddened and she pressed a dagger to her wrist.
12:09Lilith!
12:11My mother screamed and rushed to hold her, while my father kicked me hard.
12:16You won't rest until you've killed us!
12:20Must you drive Lilith to her death?
12:23Die if you want, but don't harm Lilith!
12:26I collapsed to the ground, my vision darking.
12:29My father had used his full strength.
12:31Without the dragon crystal protecting me, my heart veins were fragile, and I trembled in agony.
12:36Through blurry eyes, I watched my parents and husband crowd around Lilith.
12:43Princess Alara, perhaps you should stop this. They've left.
12:47Someone beside me sighed, pity in their voice.
12:49I forced a bitter smile and struggled to stand.
12:52Let them leave! I truly came to seal the devils. I'm not putting on a show for them.
12:57At that moment, the devil's seal roared loudly, cracks tearing outward in all directions,
13:02the runes fading in an instant, chilling winds howled, sand and stones flying.
13:13No! The devils are about to break free!
13:16Archangel Emperor, bring Lilith back at once!
13:19The seal is breaking! We need to reseal it!
13:23Devil King, are you also joining my worthless daughter's nonsense?
13:26Just left, the seal was perfectly stable.
13:31The seal is cracking!
13:33Your daughter, Alara, is going to sacrifice herself to seal it!
13:36Can you really bear that?
13:38Last time, Lilith gave only a little blood and sealed the devils.
13:41If she sacrifices a drop more, your daughter won't have to die!
13:44Can't you tell what's more important?
13:46Lilith has suffered enough today.
13:48How much longer will Alara bully her?
13:49Let her die if she wishes!
13:52Empress! Princess Alara is your own daughter! Can you really bear this?
13:56Your drop for the blood, daptive daughter, or the life of life of their daughter, which mats more?
14:02My mother's voice cut through, cold and clear.
14:07Lilith matters more.
14:13My heart shattered.
14:15I stepped without hesitation into the devil's seal.
14:18Princess Alara!
14:21Panic shouts rang out behind me.
14:23My flesh and blood turned to golden threads, wrapping tightly around the sealing rooms, forcibly restraining the raging devils.
14:31I could feel my life fading rapidly, my consciousness flipping away, until everything went dark.
14:38Come home, Alara.
14:40Come home, Alara.
14:43The devils swooped in rage, demonic energy swirling and roaring in defiance, before being dragged back into the earth.
14:50At the same time, Alexander, holding Lilith, froze abruptly.
14:55The wedding ring he wore on his finger shattered into dust.
14:59The archangel emperor and Ventress felt a sharp pain in their souls.
15:06The soul lamps, linked to their daughters, had gone out completely.
15:11What's happening?
15:12Alara is hurt.
15:14She really entered the seal?
15:15She was always cowardly and afraid to death, giving up her angelic throne just to be my wife.
15:20How could she truly sacrifice herself?
15:22Impossible.
15:23They raced back to the devil's seal in a frenzy, only to find the leaders of the five clans standing
15:31there, grief-stricken.
15:33None had believed I would truly seal the devils, or give my life to do so.
15:38If only we had stood up for her when they cursed and hurt her.
15:42Yes, she was in such pain, and she cried until the very end.
15:47How much did she pay you to lie?
15:50This is all an act! I know it's fake!
15:53Now you panic.
15:54I told you again and again she was sacrificing herself, that she would die.
15:59What did you say? Tell her to die!
16:01I've heard that angelic children are bound to their parents by soul lamps from birth.
16:06You know better than anyone if she's dead.
16:09My parents turned pale as snow.
16:15Silence fell over the world.
16:17Impossible.
16:19How could she...
16:20How could she bear to die?
16:23She must be angry that I'm marrying Lilith.
16:26Soul lamps!
16:28Alara has great power.
16:29She must have tricked us.
16:31A prank. She's always just...
16:33Yes.
16:34Both sisters are naughty.
16:36When Sophia fled before, she faked her soul lamp going out to scare us.
16:41When they come back, I'll punish them severely.
16:44How dare they do this!
16:47Foster father, foster mother, it's all my fault.
16:50If not for me, Alara and Sophia wouldn't have done this.
16:54I shouldn't have lived.
16:55Let me die to atone.
16:57This is not your fault.
16:58Your father saved their lives, yet they were jealous and cruel to you.
17:04Alexander Wright, you deserve to live.
17:07They were willful and reckless.
17:09This is not your fault.
17:10They huddled together, crying and consoling one another, unaware of the disgusted stares around them.
17:16I can't watch this any longer.
17:18Archangel Emperor, your daughter sacrificed herself to save the world and seal the devils, and you call her willful and
17:24reckless?
17:25Even if Lilith is a hero's daughter, how can you favor her this much?
17:29Which one is your adopted daughter, and which is your own flesh and blood?
17:38My daughter had always lied, cowardly and selfish.
17:42You've been tricked.
17:43She would never sacrifice herself.
17:45She's not dead.
17:47She's not dead.
17:48She's hiding somewhere, watching us grieve.
17:52A clod of mud slammed into my mother's face, silencing her bitter words.
17:57A clod of mud slammed into my mother's face, silencing her bitter words.
18:02More filth and stones rained down on my parents and Alexander.
18:05We watched her step into the seal.
18:08She didn't hesitate, not even turning back.
18:11She truly meant to give her life.
18:14Feel the runes on the seal.
18:17Can't you feel your daughter's flesh and blood woven into them?
18:22My mother was forced to the edge of the seal, trembling as she reached out.
18:27The moment her fingers touched the runes, golden light glazed, the flesh and blood retinacnizing its mother.
18:33My mother froze, terror twisting her face.
18:38The mother froze, terror twisting her face.
18:41Seeing her reaction, Alexander's face contorted.
18:45He channeled all his spiritual power, clearing the mist above the seal, scanning desperately.
18:52Until at the very core, he spotted a lifelike marble statue.
18:55Angelic marble bone those who die in sacrifice turned to stone.
18:58The statue at the heart of the seal had a peaceful face, eyes gently closed.
19:02It was me.
19:02Golden threads woven from my flesh, blood, and angelic power formed a death's net, trapping the roaring devils deep under
19:10the ground.
19:11It's my Alara.
19:13Not far from my statue stood another faded marble carving.
19:17When my mother saw it, her composure shattered completely.
19:22It's my Sophia!
19:23She lunged madly toward the seal.
19:26My daughters!
19:27Both my daughters are dead!
19:31You'll die too if you go in.
19:33My father held her back tightly, his face grim.
19:36I'd rather die!
19:41My mother screamed, biting and scratching him.
19:51You told me Sophia was alive, that she faked her soul lamp, that she fled!
19:56She never ran!
19:57She died in the seal!
20:01What were you thinking?
20:03Why did you lie to me?
20:15My father clenched his fists, agony etched on his face.
20:27Everyone had celebrated Lilith's heroic sealing of the devils.
20:33My father had wanted the scandal of Sophia's supposed desertion buried.
20:37He did not want to investigate.
20:40He dared not investigate.
20:43He had accepted the lie that Sophia had fled selfishly.
20:48You knew?
20:50You suspected and did nothing?
20:52A figure lunged forward, roaring at my father.
20:55It was Lucian, my sister's husband.
20:58How could you ignore your own daughter's fate?
21:00How could you ignore your own daughter's fate?
21:03If you hadn't lied, I would never have believed Sophia was so selfish.
21:10He shoved my father, grief and rage consuming him.
21:14Sophia died sealing the devils, and I cursed and despised her every day after.
21:19My father stumbled back, snarling in anger.
21:23Don't blame me.
21:25If you truly loved her, you wouldn't have believed such ridiculous rumors.
21:29He turned to my mother.
21:31And you rage at me now.
21:33But you helped hide the truth and favor Limith every step of the way.
21:41Now you face the consequence.
21:44Wait!
21:45The Ghost King, silent until now, let out a cold laugh.
21:49I'm still confused.
21:51What secrets has the angelic realm hidden?
21:54Princess Alara sacrificed herself for justice.
21:57We must avenge her wrongs.
21:59The crowd surrounded them.
22:00And Princess Sophia in the seal.
22:03What truly happened to her?
22:05Faced with the furious mob, my father shouted darkly.
22:09What do you want?
22:11This is angelic clan business.
22:13None of your concern.
22:14At that moment, blazing golden light burst above the seal.
22:18At that moment, blazing golden light burst above the seal.
22:24A low, resonant hum cut through space and time,
22:27and an ancient round mirror hovered in the sky.
22:30The time-viewing crystal I had brought into the seal
22:34had finally absorbed Sophia's remaining flesh and blood,
22:38unraveling the past, revealing the truth.
22:40Light and color rewinded rapidly in the mirror
22:42until the scene froze, clear and steady.
22:49Lilith, I know everything, Sophia's voice rang out.
22:53Your father colluded with the devil clan,
22:55plunging the three realms into chaos and death.
22:58Silence fell over the entire world.
23:01Everyone stared in shock at the mirror's vision.
23:04It was the night before the prayer ceremony, one year prior.
23:08Sophia's face burned with fury as she pointed at Lilith.
23:11No wonder General Blackwood was distracted during the war.
23:15He never wanted us to win.
23:17Do you know how many died in that battle?
23:20We tolerated you pretending to be our savior,
23:23but your father colluded with devils?
23:26A criminal of the three realms,
23:28yet you wear the mask of a hero and worshipped by all.
23:31The Blackwood family has no shame.
23:34Lilith in the mirror smiled sweetly,
23:36but cruelty glinted in her eyes.
23:39I underestimated you.
23:41I give you two choices.
23:43Confess your father's crimes to everyone,
23:45or I will expose everything at the prayer ceremony tomorrow.
23:51I choose neither.
23:53Guess whether your father and mother already know.
23:56Guess whether your father and mother already know.
23:59The crowd outside the seal stared in shock at my parents.
24:04I'll give you two choices instead.
24:08She patted Sophia's cheek,
24:11tempt you and tempt youlessly,
24:12and stabbed a dagger into her chest.
24:15Your husband Lucian has been poisoned by me.
24:18Step willingly into the devil's seal,
24:20I'll cure him.
24:23You care so much for the people.
24:25Well, the devils need sealing.
24:27A noble angelic princess like you is far more useful than mere prayers.
24:32Go.
24:33Save your husband.
24:35Seal the devils.
24:36Save the world.
24:37Or your parents will die, too.
24:39The strange dagger pinned Sophia in place, unable to move.
24:43Lilith dragged her to the seal and pushed her inside.
24:48Such precious angelic bones.
24:50What a waste not to use them.
24:53The prayer ceremony,
24:54where everyone condemned Sophia for deserting her post.
24:58My father was a hero,
25:00and I, too, will sacrifice my flesh and blood to seal the devils.
25:06But when she cut her flesh and tossed the blood into the seal,
25:11Sophia inside exploded into flesh and blood,
25:14sealing the devils.
25:17Oh.
25:18Oh.
25:18Oh.
25:19Oh.
25:20Oh.
25:20Oh.
25:21Oh.
25:22Outside the seal,
25:24the crowd cheered,
25:25kneeling to thank Lilith for her sacrifice,
25:28while a look of triumph flashed across her face,
25:31gone in an instant.
25:35I'll kill you!
25:45I was blind!
25:47I believed your lies
25:48and hurt Sophia all these years!
25:51You used my life to threaten her and kill her!
25:54He screamed and wept,
25:55despair and regret crushing him.
25:58It was my fault.
25:59She died for me.
26:01Sophia was always righteous,
26:03loved me deeply.
26:04I was a fool to doubt her!
26:06Calm down.
26:08Even if she's guilty,
26:09the Archangel Emperor must judge her.
26:11You have no right to kill her.
26:14Archangel Emperor?
26:15Didn't you hear?
26:16He knew the Blackwood family lied from the start.
26:20He deceived everyone!
26:21He gasped for breath,
26:23chest heaving.
26:24You were all blinded by her!
26:26I saw how you favored Limith
26:28and tormented Ellara.
26:30I did the same to Sophia!
26:32Alexander,
26:32now you know she's a vile monster.
26:35Will you still protect her?
26:36It's different.
26:38Ellara wasn't killed by Lilith.
26:40Lucien ignored him
26:41and slammed his palm into Lilith's chest.
26:44She flew backward,
26:46crashing into the time-viewing's crystal
26:48and spit a mouthful of blood.
26:50Husband,
26:53save me.
26:56Alexander stared at her pitiful face,
26:58ready to move.
27:01When the mirror flickered and shifted again,
27:03they created us.
27:04How could our heroic Blackwood family
27:06produce a traitor who colludes with devils?
27:08You've killed so many!
27:09How can I face the world?
27:11Commoners are worthless.
27:12Their deaths mean nothing.
27:15When the Devil Lord succeeds,
27:18I'll be the Devil Queen.
27:20Who dares judge me?
27:22It wasn't your father who colluded with devils!
27:25It was you!
27:27I always thought you were innocent,
27:29hurt by your father's crimes,
27:31and I pitied you,
27:32favored you.
27:33No wonder your father confessed
27:35to colluding with devils!
27:36He was covering for you!
27:37General Blackwell
27:39had sent a secret letter to my father
27:41before his death,
27:42admitting his own supposed crimes,
27:44and begging the Archangel Emperor
27:46to spare his daughter.
27:51Lilith is kind and pure.
27:53She could never collusion with devils.
27:55There must be a mistake!
27:57Impossible!
27:58Your Highness, wake up!
27:59Look how she killed!
28:00She called commoners worthless,
28:02bragged about becoming Devil Queen,
28:03and aiding the Devil Lord!
28:04My father and brother died in that war!
28:06I'll kill this monster!
28:08Me too!
28:08My family perished!
28:09Count me in!
28:10I'm a commoner, worthless as they say!
28:12I'll die with her!
28:13And the Archangel Emperor and Empress,
28:16hiding the truth,
28:17conspying with this witch!
28:19It was my fault.
28:21My father was pinned to the ground,
28:23tears streaming down his face.
28:24A general colluded with devils under my rule,
28:27and I feared being called incompetent.
28:28I didn't want the scandal,
28:30so I hid the truth.
28:31I never thought a small lie would lead to all this.
28:33My mother clutched her chest,
28:34sobbing hysterically.
28:36My two daughters were both dead!
28:38I was weak!
28:39My eldest daughter was murdered,
28:41and I didn't seek the truth.
28:43I lied and cursed her,
28:44and forced my youngest to die to avenge her.
28:46It's all your fault!
28:48She lunged at the beaten Lilith,
28:50and bit off her ear.
28:51What did we ever do to you?
28:53Your father confessed.
28:55We took you in, loved you.
28:56What more did you want?
28:58Why did you hurt my girl?
28:59If you hadn't targeted them,
29:01Sophia would never have investigated you,
29:03and she might still be alive.
29:05Lilith,
29:06why did you collude with devils?
29:10As long as the real daughters live,
29:12the adopted one can never rise.
29:14I, Lilith,
29:15am no less than them!
29:17Why were they born princesses,
29:19married to such powerful men?
29:20So what if I colluded with devils?
29:22They promised me the throne of Devil Queen.
29:25I don't care how many die.
29:27As long as I win,
29:29nothing else matters!
29:32My father was a fool,
29:33but I'm different.
29:35Then I found a better way.
29:37Remove Alara and Sophia,
29:39and the angelic realm will be mine.
29:42The dragon clan too.
29:44The dragon clan too.
29:46Alara was smart enough to die on her own.
29:48I would have killed her anyway.
29:53Her laughter was drowned out by the mob's attacks.
29:56My parents were stripped of their thrones
29:58and imprisoned in purgatory.
29:59They had abandoned their daughters for power,
30:01only to lose everything in the end.
30:03Day after day,
30:04they toiled in purgatory,
30:06paying for their sins.
30:07Lucien melt outside the Devil's Seal every day,
30:10repenting,
30:11drinking himself into a flazzer,
30:13crying Sophia's name with a wine bottle in his arms.
30:16Sophia!
30:17This is all Elidra left me.
30:19It holds our oath.
30:20If I can fix it,
30:21she loved me so deeply,
30:23she'll forgive me.
30:24Alexander blinded by lust,
30:25was stripped of his title as dragon crown prince,
30:27but he seemed not to care.
30:28He spent every day
30:29holding shards of the engagement ring,
30:31trying to glue them back together.
30:34Turn it off.
30:49After returning to the Celestial Kingdom,
30:51I finally saw Sophia again.
30:54Ancient angels dwelled in the Celestial Kingdom,
30:56seemingly lofty and untouchable,
30:58yet bound by the invisible laws of heaven.
31:01Our path of cultivation was tangled with heavy karma.
31:04Descending to the Man-Lamb to undergo trials,
31:06living among humans,
31:07could purify our angel hearts.
31:09Devils ran parampus in this world,
31:11so we chose to descend,
31:12not only to undergo trials,
31:14but also to seal the devils.
31:16A perfect plan.
31:18We had thought it simple,
31:19back then.
31:20Though most of our angelic power
31:22would be sealed in the mortal realm,
31:24if we lived peaceful lives there,
31:27when our trials ended
31:28and we died of natural causes,
31:30our remaining angelic power
31:32would be enough to seal the devils forever.
31:36But no one could have foreseen,
31:38you don't have to grieve.
31:39I've let it all go.
31:41Sophia patted my hand.
31:43We've survived life and death trials,
31:45witnessed pure good and evil,
31:46but this time,
31:47it was a love trial.
31:49Being an angel for so long,
31:50I forgot how twisted and flihume nature can be.
31:54Failing this trial is a blessing in disguise.
31:56We could not linger.
31:57Having failed our love trial,
31:59a new one would come soon.
32:00It is a blessing.
32:02We both sacrificed ourselves
32:03to seal the devils,
32:05and heaven has recognized our virtue.
32:08We failed this trial of family and love,
32:11but we've been rewarded.
32:12Our next love trial will be happy and peaceful.
32:16Heaven was always fair.
32:18Furthermore,
32:19everyone who hurt us,
32:20our mortal parents,
32:22Lucian Alexander,
32:23will be punished by heaven
32:24for the rest of their lives.
32:26They will suffer in life
32:28and be cast into the deepest hell after death.
32:30They would fall into eternal torment.
32:33A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
32:38Our next love trial was perfect.
32:40Sophia and I both had loving husbands
32:42and devoted parents,
32:44living happy, peaceful lives.
32:46When we returned to the celestial kingdom once more,
32:50our angelic power had grown even stronger.
32:53Come,
32:54it's time to cut all remaining karma.
32:58We returned to the mortal realm once more.
33:02The devils in the devil's seal lay dormant,
33:04and the sight outside took our breath away.
33:07The seal was covered in fresh flowers and offerings
33:10left by grateful mortals over the past century.
33:14The blooms were vibrant,
33:16the food fresh,
33:17clearly replaced often.
33:19Nearby stood several simple fapped huts.
33:22Lucian and Alexander lived there,
33:24staring blankly at the marble statues in the seal.
33:28The two women stood before the seal,
33:30their eyes sweeping over the thapped huts and the flowers.
33:34They spotted us the moment we appeared.
33:36Alara!
33:37Alara, you've finally returned.
33:38I knew if I fixed the ring, you'd come back.
33:41Sophia,
33:43you've come to see me,
33:44which means you've forgiven me, right?
33:46Their shouts roused the others in the huts.
33:48The door creaked open,
33:50and my aged, freel parents stumbled out.
33:52My daughters have returned.
33:56Mother knew you'd always come back to see us.
33:59We came to sever all ties with this mortal life.
34:01When two archangels descended to you,
34:03you could have gained divinity and ascended
34:05if we'd succeeded in our trials,
34:06but you destroyed everything.
34:08The marble statues had sat in the seal for a century,
34:10cold and unyielding.
34:11It's time to take back everything.
34:12The devils are sealed,
34:14and the divine protection for this world is over.
34:16The statues turned to glowing light in our hands,
34:18fading into the sky.
34:19At the same time,
34:20the ground beneath their feet vanished,
34:22and the bitter winds of hell swept over them.
34:24Good deeds bring virtue.
34:26Evil deeds bring sin.
34:27All judged by heaven's law.
34:28Sophia and I took one last look at this mortal world,
34:31then turned and left.
34:32In the celestial kingdom,
34:33atop the sea of clouds,
34:34our trials complete,
34:36our hearts pure.
34:37We walked barefoot on starlight and mist,
34:39listening to the whispers of countless mortal realms.
34:41All living things warm and bright,
34:43clear and peaceful at last.
