The Yinshaluo people held a solemn farewell ceremony for the group preparing to face the impending storm, hailing them as warriors. The Chieftain spoke of the storm as a fearsome but respectable adversary they must confront with courage, like their ancestors and the hawks. She acknowledged that these warriors might not return but their spirits would live on. Addressing Wu Xie, the Chieftain asked if he had anyone to say goodbye to.

Wu Xie listed his family and friends, including Fatty, prompting the Chieftain to call him both blessed and a cause for worry. She thanked him and assured him that regardless of the outcome, he and Zhang Qiling would always be friends of the Yinshaluo. Wu Xie expressed his certainty of success. The Chieftain pondered why Zhang Qiling chose him, concluding it wasn't merely a lack of options but a shared quality in their eyes.

She noted that Wu Xie and his companions chose to bear this heavy responsibility. Wu Xie then questioned the decades of guarding the Zanghai Flowers and waiting for the Zhang Family, asking if it held true meaning. The Chieftain explained that meaning is personal, found not always before an action but often through the doing of it, illustrating with analogies of climbing mountains and shaping stones.

Wu Xie reflected on whether his life would have been different without his persistent search for secrets. The Chieftain stated that life cannot be reversed, and all encounters are predestined. Wu Xie expressed a hope to see Zhang Qiling again, a sentiment the Chieftain echoed.

Later, alone, Wu Xie spoke aloud to Zhang Qiling's portrait, vowing to stop the storm the next day, unsure if he would have the chance to retrieve him from the Bronze Door but promising to try. During a gathering, Wu Xie revealed a crucial discovery. He had found a marking left by Zhang Qiling on a wall inside the bronze processing factory.

After much contemplation, he finally understood its meaning: it wasn't a simple symbol but a simplified map of the factory's structure. He explained that a massive energy source lay beneath the factory, which he and Fatty had seen. When Hans detonated the Zanghai Flower field, this heat source leaked, creating intense air currents by clashing with the cold ice surface air, forming the storm.

Wu Xie speculated that the Zhang Family had foreseen this possibility and prepared a contingency: a large ventilation system built under the field, connecting to a valley outside. This system had two openings – an air inlet to draw in cold air to neutralize the underground heat and an outlet to expel the mix. He concluded that the mechanism was a giant cooling system designed to prevent the storm by controlling the heat source.

When asked what they needed to do, Wu Xie simply stated they needed to find and activate this mechanism to dissipate the storm. He admitted he couldn't be certain the century-old mechanism would work, but it was the only option that could solve the storm and allow everyone to survive. Wu Xie presented his discovery to the Chieftain and others. The Chieftain, seeing the conviction in his eyes, believed him, despite the potential implausibility.

She proposed a dual plan: Wu Xie would go to find and activate the mechanism, while the rest would prepare for the original plan to confront the storm head-on if the mechanism failed. When asked who should activate it, the Chieftain initially suggested Feng, the scientist, but he deferred, stating he was a biologist and Wu Xie was better suited. Fatty insisted he had to remain with the suicide squad.

The Chieftain countered that Wu Xie, with his understanding of the Patriarch's methods, was the most logical choice. Zhang Haixing offered to take Wu Xie's place in the suicide squad, reasoning that his success with the mechanism would negate the need for their original plan. However, Wu Xie argued he was the only one who knew how to navigate the storm according to their original strategy.

Fatty firmly supported Zhang Haixing, stating Wu Xie was uniquely qualified for the mechanism task and that his presence with the suicide squad meant Wu Xie was with them, bolstered by Feng's presence. Wu Xie finally agreed. They decided the original departure time would be 10 AM. Wu Xie would go ahead, and if he failed to activate the mechanism in time, he would rush back.

Zhang Haixing and Fatty were tasked with leading the others in the storm preparedness, emphasizing they must leave exactly at the appointed time regardless of Wu Xie's return. Others offered encouragement, reminding Wu Xie of his skills and the lives depending on him, adding that Zhang Qiling was waiting for the two of them. As Wu Xie was about to set off, Yindan, a Yinshaluo warrior, stopped him.

Yindan announced he was joining, having left a note to ensure news of the storm's resolution plan would spread even if they didn't return safely. Wu Xie expressed concern for Yindan's injuries, but Yindan assured him he could walk and was willing to risk his life for his tribe, even if he hadn't fully trusted Wu Xie before.

Yindan then led the way, explaining that this path, previously used during the rescue towards the Bronze Door, was the quickest route to the bronze processing factory area. Following Qiling's marking as a guide, Wu Xie and Yindan located the area described in the diagram. They identified key parts, like the ventilation shaft and their current position, confirming the mechanism's potential location. Excitement grew as they found what they believed was the control room.

However, upon entering, they found it empty, causing confusion. They searched nearby and Yindan found the true location of the mechanism. Simultaneously, back at the camp, a report came that it was time for the scheduled departure. Trusting in Wu Xie, they decided to delay for ten minutes, believing he might be close to resolving the issue. At the mechanism site, Wu Xie confirmed they had found the correct place.

Yindan eagerly suggested activating it, but Wu Xie stopped him to examine the detailed construction drawings on the wall. These confirmed it was a large fan system with a main switch, gears, and an ignition mechanism inside a connecting room. Yindan pressed the main switch, but nothing happened. He wondered if the storm had stopped, but Wu Xie determined the device hadn't started; the ignition was faulty, and fuel wasn't reaching it.

Back at the camp, news arrived that the mechanism was broken and the storm persisted. The order was given to prepare for immediate departure. Faced with the faulty mechanism, Wu Xie deduced they needed to provide their own power source. He explained that a combustion reaction from an explosion could generate enough force to push the piston and turn the gears if the space was sealed.

They attempted to close the door to the combustion chamber, but its clips were broken and couldn't hold. Back at camp, despite the grim news, some urged giving Wu Xie ten more minutes, reiterating their faith in him. At the mechanism, Yindan offered to hold the door closed. Wu Xie tried to find something to secure it, but Yindan insisted he had the strength to hold it shut manually.

Recognizing time was critical and the task of activating the mechanism required Wu Xie's expertise, Yindan took responsibility for holding the door. He quickly instructed Wu Xie how to operate the winding springs by listening for the click of the internal clips locking. With the explosive presumably placed inside the chamber, Yindan held the door shut with all his might as Wu Xie activated the mechanism. Yindan then threw a torch into the chamber.

An explosion erupted, and Wu Xie watched as Yindan was killed by the blast. Despite Yindan's sacrifice, Wu Xie, focusing intensely, succeeded in activating the mechanism after repeated efforts and adjustments. The storm rapidly diminished. As the dark clouds receded, a clear blue sky appeared, signifying the plan's success and rendering the suicide squad unnecessary. Back at the camp, the Yinshaluo people saw the sky change and erupted in cheers, celebrating Wu Xie's victory.

Through the heavy snow, Wu Xie carried Yindan's body back. Yindan was bleeding profusely, his life fading. He acknowledged that this sacrifice was his own choice, a decision to die outside under the blue sky rather than trapped inside. He urged Wu Xie to continue his own journey, accepting that he wouldn't survive his injuries to reach the Yinshaluo tribe.

He asked Wu Xie to put him down so he could see the blue sky, a clear sky he had longed to see for many years, a wish now fulfilled. He spoke of his childhood dream of leaving the mountains to see a wider sky, realizing in his final moments that the true vastness lay not in the physical world but within one's heart.

Thanking Wu Xie for protecting this sky, Yindan asked him to remember to bring liquor if he ever returned to the snow mountains. Wu Xie promised he would remember. With a faint smile, Yindan passed away. The Yinshaluo people held a solemn ceremony for Yindan, recognizing him as a hero who was prepared to give everything for his tribe. Yindan's dagger was placed as a symbol to ensure he would always be remembered.

A bonfire was lit, and the villagers cherished the hard-won peace. During the gathering, the Chieftain expressed gratitude to Wu Xie for resolving the crisis. Zhang Haixing spoke to Wu Xie about her complex feelings regarding her brother, Haike, acknowledging her exhaustion from supporting his pursuit of the impossible wish to revive Niata. She expressed her struggle with forgiveness and her uncertainty about their future relationship, remarking that she would confront him next time she saw him.

She told "Xiao Tianzhen" (Wu Xie) that he was more insightful and the pillar of his family. She then gave Wu Xie a precious scroll, the last one from the Zhang Family patriarch, which her brother Haike had given her. She explained that it was a top-secret document previously guarded by Deren but stolen by Haike from the Jila Spiritual Retreat.

She returned it to Wu Xie, explaining its significance: it detailed an important event that occurred shortly after the patriarch accepted the Tianshou and resolved the snow mountain matter, considered the true conclusion of that period of his story.

The scroll also contained important records explaining Zhang Qiling's simple reason for becoming the Zhang Family patriarch – he wanted to find his origins and understand his connection to the world, having forgotten everything after the first Tianshou, and his unconscious efforts led him to this point after dealing with the matter of Dong Can, finally reaching the stage where he could confront the most significant unresolved issue in his memory.
