• You Si confessed her love for Du Yu and promised to find someone to replace him as Time, but Du Yu could not escape his chair.
• At Shiranui Asuka’s prompting, Du Yu asked You Si to bring him a stone, then urged Xiao Nian to follow You Si and kill Xie Yujiao.
• A new Du Yu appeared at the chamber door, and the imprisoned Du Yu warned him not to return to the two Super Grade A Legends.
• Du Yu endured months of pain to study the writing on the stone and pieced together the Japanese phrase “A-Xiang's Morning Call.”

Du Yu discovered that the stone marked with patterns held a recording left by Shiranui Asuka. The diary began revealing her loneliness in the cave, while Du Yu and You Si listened.

• Du Yu asked You Si to cut the flesh connecting him to the chair with her Wind Blade.
• You Si sliced beneath Du Yu's arm, but his flesh regenerated and left him attached to the chair.

• Du Yu regained his clarity, pointed to the inscription, and read, “Respectfully presented by the Shiranui Household”!
