• Jiang Li'er said she had followed destiny's guidance and wanted to choose her own future beyond Star Dou Forest.
• Di Tian approached Jiang Li'er and gently rubbed her head instead of reprimanding her.

• Di Tian warned Jiang Li'er that she was too inexperienced to travel alone, and she defended Jiang Bai as different from other humans.
• Jiang Li'er revealed that she had initiated Destiny Guidance with Jiang Bai, prompting Di Tian to realize why their fates were intertwined and why she had transformed and left the forest.

• Jiang Bai accepted Di Tian’s invitation, and Di Tian opened a spatial rift that took him, Jiang Li'er, and Bi Ji to the Lake of Life.
• Di Tian gave Jiang Bai and Jiang Li'er a tree hollow to stay in, while Bi Ji warned Jiang Bai that Di Tian intended to observe him and investigate his secrets.
• After Bi Ji left, Jiang Bai and Jiang Li'er settled beside the lake, and Jiang Bai meditated inside the tree hollow as night fell.

Jiang Bai practiced his ice swordsmanship before Di Tian challenged him to a spar and tested his techniques. Their battle nearly turned the area around the tree hollow into a glacier, until Jiang Li'er woke and scolded them for disturbing her.

• Jiang Bai practiced Angel Swordsmanship and the Snow Empress's swordsmanship while refining his ideas for techniques derived from the Emperor's Sword.

• The mad Dragon God killed five Dragon Kings, while the Ice, Light, and Dark Dragon Kings joined forces to subdue and split him.

• The Ice Dragon King said the Light and Dark Dragon Kings likely entrusted the divided Dragon God's sealing and guarding to the Asura God.

Di Tian learned that the Dragon God caused the Dragon Clan’s downfall and struggled to find purpose after his old beliefs collapsed. The Ice Dragon King helped him commit to avenging the surviving dragon bloodlines, but his account of the beasts’ Heavenly Tribulation led both Dragon Kings to suspect the Dragon God had imposed the restrictions too.

• The Ice Dragon King told Di Tian that the Dragon God’s division, rather than a human rebellion, had caused the Dragon Clan’s near extinction, leaving him devastated.

Di Tian returned to Jiang Bai with a softened attitude, and Jiang Bai later rested and cultivated by the Lake of Life before sharing rare Gold-Jade Fruits with Jiang Li'er.

• The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King praised Jiang Bai's talent and unusual bond with soul beasts, and asked Di Tian to provide him appropriate help when needed.

• Jiang Bai meditated for several hours, recovering and advancing his soul power slightly.
• Jiang Li'er brought Jiang Bai rare Gold-Jade Fruits, and they ate the fruit, which gently nourished their bodies and soul power.
