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