Heaven's emissary Heavenly Image asked the Forbidden Zone giants to kill Chu Qing in exchange for territory, but the King advised them to seek the Old Heaven's and the Martial Ancestors' opinions. The Dawn Giant met the Old Heaven, who refused to weigh in and instead begged to eat her, leaving her bargaining for her life.

Chu Qing returned to the past, warned Tian Buyu about his future and entrusted him with finding a box that held humanity’s hope. After Chu Qing vanished and Tian Buyu forgot his warning, he met Liu Rushih, whose secret immortality led him to uncover the truth written on his back and flee from her.
