Destiny and Saving Episode 3 Recap
> Destiny and Saving Recap
When she saw the Void Cauldron, Ni Huang felt as if her heart had been cut by knives. She believed that Bai Yan wanted her to disappear for the sake of the world, and in a fit of rage, she fought fiercely against the immortals. Bai Yan rushed in without hesitation, even disregarding his own safety to approach Ni Huang, just to stop her from making more mistakes. Tears streamed down Ni Huang's face.
Bai Yan injected his dragon pearl into the back of her neck, fulfilling his promise—sealing her spiritual energy so she could live again as a mortal. From then on, no one in the Three Realms except Bai Yan would be able to find her. The war god Bai Yan fell as a result.
Tuosang, having once witnessed the power of the Thousand Years Token, took advantage of the chaos to strike Ni Huang and seize her core, attempting to steal the Thousand Years Token. However, he was instead devoured by the token's backlash, and his body was incinerated.
After the dust settled, the True Lord punished the greedy Tuosang by stripping him of his immortal roots and condemning him to eternal torment in the Infernal Hell, where he would suffer endlessly in life and death. The Thousand Years Token was sent to Mount Buzhou to be guarded by the Shushan Immortal Sect. A thousand years passed in a flash. Tuosang, still tormented in the Infernal Hell, ended up at Suoyu Mountain, the domain of the Heavenly Demon Clan.
Night Abyss, the demon lord, preserved Tuosang in the Blood Demon Orb where he slept for a hundred years, until he was finally resurrected. Night Abyss told him everything about the past and requested that he serve as the protector of the Heavenly Demon Clan under the new name Chong Guang, hoping they could join forces to oppose the Celestial Clan.
Though Chong Guang had lost all memory of his past, when he heard that his body was destroyed by the Celestial Realm, he agreed without hesitation to help Night Abyss retrieve the Thousand Years Token and fight back. Now that the seal on the Thousand Years Token was weakening, only the Sword Sovereign Fengyue could reseal it. But he was currently in seclusion, making this a rare opportunity. Chong Guang urged immediate action.
Night Abyss introduced Chong Guang to his subordinates: Left Protector Ming Huang, Right Protector Tu Shuo, and the Star Lord of the Dark Soul Palace, Ji Xingluo. He also declared that Chong Guang's rank would be above the other protectors. Although the others were unfamiliar with Chong Guang and held some dissatisfaction, Night Abyss insisted they treat him as they would himself. With no choice, they agreed.
Night Abyss believed that with Chong Guang's help, the Heavenly Demon Clan would rise again. Ming Huang and the others worried that after years of peace, they might fail if they forcibly seized the Thousand Years Token. But Chong Guang believed that though they had grown complacent, so had the Shushan sect—this was the perfect time to act. Night Abyss agreed and immediately gathered the troops to attack Mount Buzhou.
Night Abyss’s wife rushed in to stop him out of concern, but he refused to listen, determined to create a better future for his wife and child. He reached the place where the Thousand Years Token was sealed and broke the seal to take it. Just then, a flying sword arrived—Fengyue Sword Immortal had exited seclusion early. Night Abyss was caught off guard.
Fengyue warned that his rash actions would once again leave the demon clan without a place in the world, but Night Abyss paid no heed and joined forces with Chong Guang to attack him. As Night Abyss and Fengyue clashed, his wife's stomach suddenly began to hurt, and she felt an ominous premonition. Night Abyss deliberately stalled Fengyue, while Chong Guang moved to seize the Thousand Years Token. As the token was summoned, the pain in Night Abyss’s wife intensified.
Just as Chong Guang was about to touch the token, he felt the power around him being drawn away uncontrollably, as if the world were collapsing. In the middle of the battle, Night Abyss was distracted and struck by Fengyue, who, though injured, used his remaining strength to reseal the token before passing out. When Night Abyss returned, he realized his end was near. He handed the Demon Lord's Token to Chong Guang, declaring him the new demon lord.
Just as he was about to finish speaking, he vanished from the Three Realms. Chong Guang led the others back to the Heavenly Demon Clan, and at that moment, Night Abyss’s wife gave birth to a child. Ten years later, a young girl arrived at the secluded Xuanqing Courtyard on the mountaintop. The place was quiet and empty. She looked around and found a young boy sitting cross-legged. She asked him for directions up the mountain, but he didn’t respond.
Thinking she had entered the wrong place, she swung her Phoenix Feather Chain at him, only to have it bounce back. The boy didn’t get up until noon lessons were over. He was an obedient child who had never been punished by his master or made any mistakes, so he refused to rise before time. The girl couldn’t help but laugh at his stubbornness.
She continued asking for directions, worried about her father who was engaged in a duel on the mountain. The boy recalled that his master was also dueling today and guessed it might be her father. She suggested they go watch together, but the boy refused—his master had ordered him to wait there. The girl didn’t want to stay with the boy anymore.
He had never made mistakes and didn’t want to, even if it meant never understanding the Dao while stuck here forever. She left, but the boy looked toward the door, recalling his master’s warning: today he would face a trial, and staying inside might help him avoid it. Still, he was worried about the girl. He flew his sword toward the mountaintop. The girl tried to catch a falling bird’s nest but fell herself.
Thankfully, the boy arrived in time and pulled her up by the hand. She was surprised that he could touch her without feeling cold. Since birth, no one had dared touch her due to the extreme chill her body emitted. Her father had acquired an ice silkworm cocoon to protect her, allowing her to get close to things but not to be touched. The boy was the first person who could. Overjoyed, the girl proposed they become friends. The boy agreed, saying he would protect her and guide her up the mountain. They shared their names—she was Feng Lixue, and he was Mo Xiao.
