Qin Jiuge and his companions entered Cloud Sea Island’s White Marsh Illusion Array and fought a Three-Foot Giant Bear conjured with real power. As Qin Run battled the bear to temper himself, the array drew Qin Jiuge into a vision that challenged his identity as a Child of Destiny, ending with a doppelgänger appearing before him.
