Xiao Yan tried to leave the Misty Cloud Sect to return home, while Nalan Yanran helped plead his case and Gu Yuan secretly intervened to give Yao Chen a powerful pill for him. A month later, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er discovered that they had both entered the Answering Space, while Gu Yuan watched over them with the Flame Mantra scroll.

• Nalan Yanran brought Xiao Yan to Yun Yun and asked her to let him go home, but Xiao Yan could not explain why he needed to leave.

Meanwhile, Xiao Han reached One-Star Peak Dou Ling, joined Myriad Medicine Pavilion’s herb-gathering party to see Xiao Yi Xian, and revealed himself as a Dou Shi in Qingshan Town.

• The steward gave Xiao Han the final spot for five thousand gold coins, and news of an unfamiliar young Dou Shi began spreading through Qingshan Town.

Xiao Han led Xiao Yi Xian away from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion’s herb-gathering party to question why she kept staring at him. He learned she recognized him from the Answering Space and worried that the space had revealed his true strength to others.

At the Misty Cloud Sect, Xiao Yan revealed his rapid breakthrough and offered the Spirit-Nourishing Liquid formula in exchange for permission to leave the mountain, but Yun Yun refused and urged him to change his Qi Method.

Xiao Yan persuaded Yun Yun to let him leave the mountain with Xiao Zhan, and Nalan Yanran offered him a lead on a pregnant Amethyst Winged Lion King before Xiao Xun'er confronted her about the Answering Space. Meanwhile, Xiao Han stayed in a cave with Xiao Yi Xian and considered how to withstand the poison in her Woeful Poison Body.

• Several months later, a plainly dressed youth and a middle-aged man trudged along a road near Qingshan Town, each step kicking up dust.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan reached Qingshan Town and discovered that the Myriad Medicine Pavilion was driving its prosperity. As Xiao Yan entered the shop, the third round of “Battle Through the Heavens, Please Answer” began, draining cultivation from powerful figures across the continent and alarming the ancient clans.

• Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan trudged toward Qingshan Town carrying heavy greatswords that suppressed their Dou Qi, with Yao Chen urging them onward.
• The father and son arrived in Qingshan Town and learned that the Myriad Medicine Pavilion’s demand for poisonous herbs had drawn mercenaries and made the town prosperous.
• Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan entered the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, where Xiao Yan noticed a faint flash from his ring as he looked toward the counter.
• The space announced its third round and began drawing fortune and cultivation from major supporting characters, allowing those affected to view the scenes inside it.
• Nihility Devouring Flame lost cultivation, the Gu Clan’s Gu Dao, Gu Xuan, and Gu Yan rushed out in alarm, and Lei Ying and the Lei Clan’s elders feared an attack from rival clans.

The Answering Space summoned Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, Xiao Xuan, the Nascent Pill, and Xiao Han again, while Hun Tiandi tried and failed to enlist Gu Yuan against Xiao Yan. Gu Yuan then shared the Gu Clan’s findings on suppressing the Woeful Poison Body, and the chapter left him stunned by Xiao Han’s interest in intimate contact with its bearer.

• The six participants were summoned into the Answering Space again, and Hun Tiandi complained about being selected after losing cultivation in earlier rounds.
• Hun Tiandi urged Gu Yuan to join him in helping Xiao Yan become a Dou God, but Gu Yuan refused and went to speak with Xiao Han.
• Gu Yuan greeted Xiao Xuan and boasted that he was satisfied with Xiao Yan, while Hun Tiandi realized Gu Yuan knew Xiao Yan’s whereabouts.
• Xiao Han asked Gu Yuan about the Woeful Poison Body, and Gu Yuan offered to send him the Gu Clan’s methods for suppressing it.
• Xiao Han asked whether suppression would still allow intimate contact without poisoning, leaving Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan shocked; Gu Yuan hesitated to explain that suppression would strengthen the poison body.

Xiao Han and Gu Yuan discussed a suppressed poison physique before the Answering Space summoned its candidates and outside viewers for a new quiz. The first question asked whose daughter Xiao Xiao was with Medusa, leaving Xiao Yan shocked to see his brothers among the choices.

• Gu Yuan warned Xiao Han that suppressing the poison physique would make it stronger and could injure even a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, so Xiao Han abandoned the idea.
• The Answering Space summoned the candidates and outside viewers, including the resurrected Xiao Xuan and Zhu Kun, prompting many to fear its power.
• The Answering Space announced a five-question quiz with outside assistance, doubled punishment for zero-point participants, and rewards for the three highest scorers.
• Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan recognized the rewards as a chance to learn about Xiao Yan and his whereabouts.
• The first question asked whose daughter Xiao Xiao was with Medusa, and Xiao Yan was shocked to see Xiao Ding and Xiao Li among the answer choices.

Medusa rejected the idea that she would have a daughter with a human, while the participants debated who Xiao Xiao’s father would be. Xiao Han and the Nascent Pill correctly chose the Fallen Heart Flame, and the others lost points or cultivation after choosing Xiao Yan.

• Medusa learned that she would have a daughter and angrily dismissed her guards, insisting she would never willingly have a child with a human.
• Hun Tiandi, Zhu Kun, and Xiao Xuan chose Xiao Yan as Xiao Xiao’s father, while the Nascent Pill and Xiao Han chose the Fallen Heart Flame.
• Gu Yuan hesitated over the choices but selected Xiao Yan when the countdown ended.
• The Answering Space revealed that Xiao Han and the Nascent Pill were correct and awarded each two points.
• Hun Tiandi, Xiao Xuan, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun lost one point, and participants without points lost cultivation instead; Hun Tiandi’s cultivation fell to early Seven-Star Dou Saint.

The Answering Space revealed that the Fallen Heart Flame—not Xiao Yan—had fathered Medusa’s child, shocking Medusa and everyone who knew Heavenly Flames. The screen then showed Xiao Yan and Medusa fighting the flame and hinted at what followed, leaving Hun Tiandi intent on killing Xiao Yan after recognizing him as a future Dou Di.

• The revealed answers showed that Xiao Han and the Nascent Pill chose the Fallen Heart Flame, while Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, Xiao Xuan, and Zhu Kun chose Xiao Yan.
• Medusa panicked at learning a Heavenly Flame had fathered her child, while Xiao Xun’er and the Gu Clan worried about her Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame.
• Hun Tiandi regretted failing to choose the Fallen Heart Flame and vowed to capture it, while Xiao Xuan wondered why its descendant bore the Xiao surname.
• The screen showed Xiao Yan and Medusa fighting an Invisible Fire Python in a magma cavern, and Medusa questioned whether the woman shown was really her.
• Hun Tiandi recognized Xiao Yan on the screen as a future Dou Di and decided to kill him, while Xiao Xuan took pride in the handsome descendant.
• The screen rapidly showed the battle, the Heavenly Flame sealing Xiao Yan and Medusa in, Xiao Yan breaking through to Dou Wang and devouring the Fallen Heart Flame, and the pair joining because of the aftermath before he expelled the flame.

After the Answering Space revealed that Medusa’s child was born from the Fallen Heart Flame using Xiao Yan as a vessel, Xiao Yan realized he might have transmigrated into an animated story and broke through a barrier of knowledge and perception. A new question about what he supposedly shouted when Nalan Yanran broke off their engagement left him and the others wondering why the Answering Space’s version differed from reality.

• The screen showed Medusa raising Xiao Xiao, and the revelation angered Queen Medusa and unsettled Xiao Xun'er and Nalan Yanran.
• Lei Ying recognized the Fallen Heart Flame as the one at Jia Nan Academy and sent Lei Dong to summon Mang Tianchi so the Lei Clan could prepare.

• The Answering Space asked what Xiao Yan had shouted when Nalan Yanran broke off their engagement, prompting Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and Hun Tiandi to question the mismatch with what had actually happened.
