After two days, Gu Yuena agreed to assist the Integration Movement, and Qiu'er hinted that someone at its destination would surprise her.

• Gu Yuena, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Zi JI returned to the ruined Star Dou Fortress and found the Core Area nearly empty after the soul beasts had left with the Integration Movement.
• Qiu'er appeared and told Gu Yuena that she had stayed to persuade them to support the Integration Movement, then recounted the suffering of the Dragon Girl and argued that soul beasts needed to advance rather than merely gain space to live.

Huo Yuhao told Gu Yuena about the Dragon Clan Crown Prince and explained his search for the truth behind the Dragon God's fall, while Gu Yuena shared what she knew about the Dragon God Core. Their discussion was interrupted when Di Tian confronted the Evil Lord, Snow Empress, and others, and he turned his fury on Gu Yuena.

• Di Tian reacted with a furious roar, prompting nearby troops to rush over before Huo Yuhao stopped them.

After learning that the Dragon God himself had caused the curse blocking the Dragon Clan and Beast Clan from godhood, Di Tian questioned Gu Yuena and lost faith in the purpose of his long wait. He started to leave, but the Evil Lord’s challenge made him reconsider giving up on breaking the curse.

• Di Tian recalled the Dragon God's fall and his long wait for Gu Yuena to recover, then struggled to understand why the Dragon God had severed the Dragon Clan's path to godhood.
• Di Tian asked Gu Yuena whether she had known the source of the heavenly tribulations, and Gu Yuena admitted she had only just learned about the curse and did not understand it.
• Di Tian became disillusioned with his years of waiting and turned away from Gu Yuena before deciding he wanted to rest.
• As Di Tian tried to leave, the Evil Lord asked whether he would give up on breaking the curse, and Di Tian saw that the Evil Lord and the Snow Empress still wanted to fight it.
• Di Tian recognized that he had assumed the curse was impossible to break without trying, and he stopped leaving.
