Episode 33 recap: A Brow's Past.
Yan mocked Qi Wu Ji, and Qi Xiao Xuan couldn't accept this reality. Qi Wu Ji always felt that he hadn't done anything wrong and that he would eventually be driven insane. It was those people who forced him to do so. He felt that this feeling was neither human nor ghost-like, and that the world was filled with darkness, devoid of fragrance and taste. His body felt as cold as the peak of a valley, and he had become a prisoner slowly being imprisoned by the cold.
Qi Xiao Xuan questioned why Qi Wu Ji had done this. However, Qi Wu Ji said that he did all this just to live like a human, needing a heart, especially the heart of the dual spiritual beings like Qian and Yan, to be reborn. Yan urged Qian to leave quickly, but Qian disappeared in order to save Yan.
Hu Zi and the others sensed that something was amiss and felt that Qi Xiao Xuan was nearby. A Brow saw that Yan and Qian were powerless to resist and asked Qi Wu Ji when he could return their master to them. Qi Wu Ji was extremely cunning and sly, saying that he would definitely do so once he left the peak valley. A Brow felt that he was untrustworthy but had no choice.
Yan and Qian conversed in their state of mind, and Qian deeply regretted his decision that had caused harm to Yan. Qian decided to leave his body for Yan, and Yan admitted that he harbored hatred for his younger brother but couldn't bring himself to kill Qian. Yan told Qian that Elder had informed him that Qian had also endured similar suffering and guilt in the real world for eight years. They only blamed the curse for causing them to doubt each other, but in this world, they were the closest two people.
Yan decided to stay in this darkness and encourage Qi Xiao Xuan to move forward with courage. Zhao Xin Tong and the others arrived when Qi Wu Ji was about to consume Qi Xiao Xuan's heart and realized that Qi Wu Ji was a fake.
Qi Wu Ji's martial prowess was too strong, and no one among them was his match. Qi Xiao Xuan told them that Qi Wu Ji wanted to take her heart and continue to wreak havoc in the mortal realm. It was necessary to kill him at this moment.
Qi Wu Ji arrogantly proclaimed himself as a god, declaring that anyone who stood in his way must die.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mo Gu Zi captured Qi Wu Ji, allowing everyone else to escape, but sacrificing himself in the process. Before his death, he had a dream of Xi Men Miao Miao and reminisced about the past. Wu Li Dan and the others had been searching outside for the heart of the Demon Emperor but had been unsuccessful.
It turned out that A Brow had saved Bai Hu while everyone was distracted by the fire, and she even helped Bai Hu regain her human form. Bai Hu promised to help A Brow find their master, but she knew her time was limited, though she felt it was enough. When A Brow saw their master, they acted like a child. A Brow had gone through great lengths to save their master, recalling that they were once a puppet stitched together by their master's own hands. Without their master, they wouldn't be who they are now. That period of time was their happiest, but the appearance of a man shattered that beautiful life. After Qi Wu Ji appeared, they were abandoned and left behind. It was only in the peak valley that they obtained a physical body.
Bai Hu and Qi Wu Ji became a couple, and A Brow's master was heartbroken, shedding tears. It was at this moment that A Brow realized their purpose for existing in this place: their master needed them. A Brow never expected that Qi Wu Ji would ultimately kill Bai Hu and marry their master. However, just before leaving the island, their master became unusually anxious and insisted that A Brow take the child with them. A Brow now believes that their master was willing to risk everything to ensure their escape and prevent Qi Wu Ji from leaving, hoping that Bai Hu would reveal the truth.
Qi Yan Ran felt that Mo Ling Zhi resembled their grandmother. Mo Ling Zhi informed Qi Yan Ran that Qi Xiao Xuan's time was running out. Bai Hu told A Brow that this was a significant lie that had been kept for over 500 years. A Brow no longer considered their own importance and only desired to take their master away from this place of turmoil.
Just as A Brow was leading their master out of the cave, they were stopped by Qi Yan Ran. A Brow didn't want to fight, but Qi Yan Ran was relentless. A Brow had no choice but to accept the challenge, cautiously placing their master on the ground, ready to fight Qi Yan Ran to the death.
If both brothers had physical bodies, this outcome would never have happened. Their fate was supposed to be that of twins, born together in this world. Unfortunately, the curse of this family has turned them into what they are now.
The older brother, despite his harsh words, actually wants to make his younger brother suffer more than death. He constantly leaves clues for his younger brother's companions to find him. Although the older brother appears cold-hearted, his true nature is not evil.
He is misunderstood, just like Elder said. If the two of them meet again, they should have a proper conversation because they are the closest to each other in this world. Misunderstandings, once resolved, mean nothing.
From this moment on, the curse of the Twin Origin God ends, and his purpose is fulfilled, even if it requires sacrificing himself.
