They voted to assess the risks of the Spiritual Qi Revival and to test Lin Fan by seeking his help with a potentially dangerous meteor shower approaching Earth.

Lin Fan learned the Golden Light Spell from Zhang Xuanzhi and mastered it, while Zhang Xuanzhi believed his own failed attempts meant the Great Age had not yet arrived. The next morning, crowds gathered in C City to watch the anticipated meteor shower, and Little Strawberry livestreamed from Changge Mountain as the event approached.
