Ouyang and Oye, both confused about their past lives, traveled along Yellow Springs Road atop the Lord of the River of Forgetfulness, who dared not harm them under the watchful gazes from Mount Naihe. After the toad dropped them at the far bank and fled, a bald man in a leather jacket came down the mountain and addressed Ouyang as Senior Brother.

• Ouyang's surroundings blurred, and he awoke before a green-clad youth wearing Mianfu who called him “Big Boss!”

Ouyang and Oye shared a meal with the Azure Bird, who had mistaken Ouyang for the Big Boss from a million years ago and hoped he could live freely after reincarnation. They continued up the mountain, where a beautiful woman kissed Ouyang and vanished, leaving him to wonder whether he had dreamed it.

When Ouyang was born, the three sages and a dozen powerful outsiders prepared to seek him out, each trying to hide their intentions from the others.

Chen Changsheng and Bai Feiyu summoned the deities and underworld officials to march on Maple City after they recognized it as the place connected to Leng Qingsong’s past and possibly their Eldest Senior Brother. Their enormous airship procession headed south, alarming the Great Han Empire and putting its forces on alert.

• Leng Qingsong decided to leave Maple City for Little Mountain Peak, but on the outskirts he spotted a sign reading "Azure Cloud Orphanage."

• Leng Qingsong followed a sign to a shabby but well-kept orphanage, hoping to find a trace of his elder brother.
• Finding the gate locked, Leng Qingsong wrapped a wad of banknotes in a strip of his clothes and left it on the bars.

• The older boy unlocked the gate with a stolen key and planned to take his younger companion out for roasted sweet potatoes.
• Leng Qingsong explained that he had left a donation, and the older boy pretended the pair were hungry despite his younger companion correcting him.
• Leng Qingsong stared at the older boy as recognition struck him, and his eyes filled with tears.
