• Huo Yuhao agreed to do what Xue Ke asked, and she said she believed he could return to the era when the Divine Realm suffered its devastating blow.

Xue Ke explained that she would give most of Douluo Star's power to Huo Yuhao so he could pass through the Space-Time Turbulence and reach the world after the Divine Realm vanished. She described safeguards to preserve Huo Yuhao's birth ten thousand years later and promised that he could eventually restore his friends and teacher from soul seeds in his Soul Rings.

• Xue Ke said Huo Yuhao's friends and teacher had to remain in the era and that the history leading to his birth and ascension ten thousand years later must stay intact.

• Xue Ke told Huo Yuhao that resistance and the chance to choose another path would endure, whether or not a new power later oppressed Douluo Star.

• Huo Yuhao questioned Xue Ke about risking Douluo Star’s inhabitants, and she argued that resisting a fixed future was worth the danger.

Swept through space-time turbulence, Huo Yuhao escaped an undercurrent and found himself watching a ritual performed by powerful gods. The ritual went awry, and he witnessed a god turn on the gathered God Kings, leaving many dead or badly beaten.

• Huo Yuhao sensed several calls for the Golden Dragon Spear while the chaos power in his soul core held his body together in the turbulence.
• An undercurrent swept Huo Yuhao toward a weak signal, and he used his chaos power to slip through a tiny opening and escape.
• Huo Yuhao found himself in an illusory state, observing a gathering of powerful gods, including the Asura God, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life.
• The gods began a ritual, and a voice said that the Crown Prince was the only one whose bloodline was close enough to the Master's to help him.
• The ritual went wrong, and the powerful god drained the life energy of a god who rushed into its center.
• The other gods attacked the powerful god, but he fought back fiercely, killing several and overwhelming the God Kings.

Huo Yuhao escaped the era of the Dragon God's fall and continued through the Space-Time Turbulence, enduring its crushing strain as he followed the Golden Dragon Spear. When a dangerous undercurrent trapped him, he spent more Chaos Power to open a tiny passage and emerged in the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, where six-year-old Xu Yunhan was secretly still awake.

• A remnant soul fled into Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness as the Golden Dragon Spear stopped trembling, and Huo Yuhao recognized the distant battle as the Dragon God's fall.
• Huo Yuhao returned to the Space-Time Turbulence and followed the Golden Dragon Spear while enduring its constant assault on his body.
• Huo Yuhao sensed a deadly undercurrent closing in and used his dwindling Chaos Power to open a passage.
• Huo Yuhao squeezed through the tiny passage and saw a field of white light.
• Ju Zi left Xu Yunhan's bedroom after he appeared to fall asleep and went to discuss affairs with the ministers, while Xu Yunhan secretly stayed awake.

Huo Yuhao appeared as an illusory figure in young Xu Yunhan’s bedroom and realized that the two identical souls in the same era were causing his pain and strange state. He entertained Yunhan with a Martial Soul display and a made-up warning about staying up late, then soothed the child to sleep with a song.

• Huo Yuhao recovered from the white light but felt his soul tearing and saw that his body had become illusory.
• Xu Yunhan mistook Huo Yuhao for a maid and quietly demanded to know why he was in his room.
• Huo Yuhao inferred that his presence was being rejected because his original self was still alive in the same era.
• Huo Yuhao released the Cold Lotus Flower Ring, and Xu Yunhan eagerly asked about Martial Soul Awakening.
• Huo Yuhao told Xu Yunhan that he needed enough sleep before awakening, so the child got into bed.
• Huo Yuhao sang softly until Xu Yunhan drifted off to sleep.

Huo Yuhao secretly strengthened Xu Yunhan with life force and Spiritual Power before leaving the era, realizing that the Vertical Pupil appearing on the boy would become part of his Martial Soul. Xu Yunhan woke feeling unusually strong, but he and Ju Zi could find no trace of Huo Yuhao, and Xu Yunhan remembered the mysterious visitor for the rest of his life without learning who he was.

• Huo Yuhao lulled Xu Yunhan to sleep with his mother's nursery rhyme, then fed him life force from a petal and used Spiritual Power to strengthen his body and clear his meridians.
• A Vertical Pupil appeared on Xu Yunhan's forehead, and Huo Yuhao suppressed it, realizing it would become part of Xu Yunhan's Martial Soul after his awakening.
• Huo Yuhao opened a tiny hole with the Chaos Power in his Chaos Soul Core, then left the room after one last look at the sleeping Xu Yunhan.
• Xu Yunhan woke feeling rested and strong, but Ju Zi found no trace of the maid he described and ordered Soul Masters to examine him.
• Ju Zi's investigation found no intruder, and Xu Yunhan came to believe his encounter had been a dream, though he remembered the visitor's gaze throughout his life.
