00:00The man secretly lifted the woman's mask to see the face of the ancestor.

00:04In that instant, the entire sanctuary trembled,

00:07and the spirit tablets of the twelve revered elders rose into the air.

00:10The young man was deeply shaken.

00:13What his father had told him about the legend of the ancestor of Nuaw Dance Theater

00:16not sleeping in the sanctuary turned out to be true.

00:19The woman wasn't just the family's ancestor.

00:22She was also the founder of the Nuaw Dance Theater,

00:25a cultural heritage tradition that had endured for a thousand years.

00:28A millennium ago, the woman had saved people suffering from a deadly plague through sacred dance.

00:33But due to the ritual, she fell into a deep slumber that lasted a thousand years.

00:38On that very day, the clan heir's father was leading the family in efforts

00:42to have Nuaw Dance officially registered as intangible cultural heritage.

00:46But the heir, disinterested in such traditions, had sneaked off for some air.

00:51He never expected to witness a group of foreigners attempting to steal sacred relics from the sanctuary.

00:56Enraged, the young man tried to stop them, but was no match and was knocked down with a single blow,

01:01falling right beside the sleeping ancestor.

01:04Thinking she was just another person asleep, he desperately tried to wake her.

01:07He unintentionally touched her mask, which triggered the entire cavern to shake.

01:12The foreigners took advantage of the chaos to steal the sacred object and fled.

01:16To awaken the woman, the man had no choice but to fully remove her mask.

01:19This action awakened the ancestor from her thousand-year slumber.

01:23At first, the young man thought she was a spirit and tried to flee, but she caught him with magic.

01:29Upon learning that he was the heir of the family leader, she marked him with a master-servant contract seal,

01:34forcing the man to serve her with respect.

01:36They returned together to the clan, where a Nuaw Dance performance was underway.

01:40Upon seeing the dancers making countless mistakes, the woman grew upset.

01:44The civilization and sacred rituals she had preserved for a thousand years were being lost.

01:50Unable to tolerate it, she stepped on stage to correct the lead dancer.

01:53This angered the clan members, as the young dancer was considered the family's most promising talent,

01:59and they could not accept a stranger correcting her.

02:01The woman responded with an authoritative gaze, and the clan heir quickly fetched her a seed of honor.

02:06Seeing her act like a true master and the clan heir serving her,

02:10while she corrected the ancient Nuaw Dance passed down for generations, infuriated the family.

02:15They prepared to confront her.

02:16Just then, a woman rushed in carrying a child suffering from the ghost plague, and pleaded for help.

02:22Everyone was stunned, as that plague had been eradicated a thousand years ago by the ancestor.

02:27The woman explained the boy hadn't undergone the blessing ritual,

02:30and begged the clan heir to use the Nuaw Dance to save him.

02:33But the young man had never learned it.

02:35Even so, the ancestor declared that only the heir could save the child, and handed him her mask.

02:41She then began teaching the man the sacred steps.

02:44As the child began to recover before their eyes, everyone was astonished.

02:47Even the clan heir, who had doubted the Nuaw Dance all along, finally believed in its power.

02:53The next day, the young man's father found out about his son entering the sanctuary and was furious.

02:58But before he could scold the heir, the woman stopped him.

03:01It turned out that the father had recognized the woman's extraordinary abilities,

03:05and had wanted to ask for her help in registering Nuaw Dance as cultural heritage.

03:09Just as he was about to speak, family members burst in with urgent news.

03:13The foreigners had already registered Nuaw Dance in their name, and now arrived, arrogant and mocking,

03:19claiming it was no longer worth trying to register the tradition.

03:22They declared Nuaw Dance now belonged to them.

03:24The clan was enraged, but helpless.

03:26While the elders didn't know what to do, the clan heir remembered the exhibition period wasn't yet over.

03:31If they could prove the foreigners had stolen the sacred object, they could reverse everything.

03:36But the foreigners claimed they had fused with the relic, and that only they could make it resonate.

03:41They challenged the family.

03:42If anyone else could make it resonate, they would admit to the theft.

03:46Faced with such arrogance, the Nuaw Dance ancestor would not stand by.

03:50She took her mask and stepped onto the stage, ready to show them what the true Nuaw Dance really was.
