Die Feng and Ye Hua observed the condition of the soldiers in Long Sea, who were heavily wounded from their battles with the Merpeople Tribe. Die Feng introduced Crown Prince Ye Hua, and the soldiers knelt, imploring the Heavenly Tribe to intervene and bring peace to Long Sea. Ye Hua assured them that the Heavenly Tribe would not ignore their plight, and as Crown Prince, he vowed to pacify Long Sea and end the bloodshed.

Meanwhile, Su Su, who had been waiting outside the tent, inadvertently came into contact with a wounded soldier. The sight and smell of blood made her feel severely nauseous. Ye Hua noticed her discomfort and quickly summoned a military physician. To their surprise, the physician's diagnosis was that Su Su was pregnant. Although Ye Hua’s face remained composed, he was overjoyed at the prospect of their first child.

Su Su, seeing his lack of outward expression, worried he might not like the child. Ye Hua, with myriad emotions he could not voice, simply embraced her tightly, a moment of profound happiness for both of them. Despite his happiness, Ye Hua told Su Su that she could no longer remain in the military camp, especially now that she was pregnant, as a major war was imminent in Long Sea.

He insisted on sending her back, promising her this would be his last journey and that he would return within two weeks, or four weeks at most, never to leave her or their child again. He reiterated his unwavering love, explaining that he was so happy he had forgotten how to smile. During their meal, Su Su asked about his childhood, wondering if their child would be like him and asked about his mother's delivery.

Ye Hua revealed that he was taken away at birth and only met his mother later, having been raised under strict tutelage with long hours of study, suggesting he had a difficult upbringing akin to a Crown Prince. Elsewhere, Yan Zhi and Li Yuan arrived at the Merpeople Tribe seeking aid from the chieftain, who was Li Yuan's maternal uncle. Li Yuan humbly requested several thousand soldiers and horses to reclaim his position.

However, the chieftain showed no family affection, scoffing at Li Yuan's powerlessness, reminding him of his deceased mother and imprisoned father, and that his younger brother now controlled the Winged Tribe. Li Yuan angrily retorted about his grandfather's role in the chieftain's rise to power, but the chieftain summarily dismissed and expelled him and Yan Zhi, leaving Li Yuan seething with humiliation.

The Merpeople chieftain, full of ambition, harbored intentions of conquering Long Sea rather than settling for the current Long Sea Water Monarch's concessions. He disregarded the Water Monarch's proposal of a marriage alliance and decided to send his youngest son, Hong'er, to the Long Sea Crystal Palace banquet to hear the marriage arrangements. He instructed his son not to be too accommodating, lest the Long Sea Water Monarch think a princess would resolve everything.

At the Crystal Palace, the Long Sea Water Monarch displayed extreme obsequiousness towards the Merpeople young prince. He called upon his second daughter, Lu Xiu, to pour wine for the prince. The young prince, noticing Lu Xiu's beauty, brazenly touched her hand, telling her it was her blessing he liked her and crudely asking if she preferred to marry his father instead of committing to him.

Lu Xiu angrily called him shameless and rebuked her father for yielding to the Merpeople Tribe, urging him to fight back. Her father, however, silenced her, unwilling to cause further trouble. It was at this moment that Die Feng and Ye Hua arrived, with Die Feng reporting "urgent military matters" to the Water Monarch. The Merpeople prince questioned the nature of these "military matters," claiming nothing could escape his notice in Long Sea.

Ye Hua asserted that it was indeed related to the Merpeople Tribe, and Die Feng elaborated on a potential mutiny among Long Sea soldiers due to the Water Monarch's indecisiveness. The Merpeople prince, offended, insulted Ye Hua and challenged him physically. Ye Hua effortlessly subdued the prince. Die Feng then revealed Ye Hua's identity as the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Tribe. The Water Monarch was terrified and immediately prostrated himself, apologizing profusely.

Ye Hua sternly reprimanded the Water Monarch for his negligence, his failure to protect his people from the Merpeople, his subservience to the Merpeople prince, and his attempt to cover up military unrest. Pressed by Ye Hua and subtly encouraged by Die Feng, the cornered Water Monarch reluctantly ordered the Merpeople prince and his attendant to be beheaded as a sacrifice, thus formally declaring war.

The young prince, defiant to the end, cursed the Water Monarch, vowing his father would massacre the entire Long Sea tribe. The Water Monarch, with only 10,000 soldiers against the Merpeople Tribe's 70,000, was left with no choice but to beg Ye Hua for the Heavenly Tribe's assistance. As Ye Hua had anticipated, the war was now inevitable.

With the war looming, Ye Hua returned Su Su to Junji Mountain, emphasizing that her pregnancy made it too dangerous for her to stay in Long Sea. He assured her that he would return to her and their child within two weeks and would never leave them again. He instructed her to use the copper mirror if anything urgent happened.

He warned her firmly not to leave the bamboo forest while he was away, explaining that her pregnancy would make it easy for his family to discover her, and that it would lead to complications he would explain upon his return. He promised to plant a ten-mile peach blossom grove just for them when he came back. He then set up an immortal barrier around their dwelling to conceal her presence from the Heavenly Tribe before departing for battle.

Ye Hua had already devised a plan for a fake death during this war to escape his duties as Crown Prince and be with Su Su. He sought an audience with the Heavenly Monarch, requesting to lead the troops and vowing to bring back the head of the Merpeople chieftain within seven days, rather than the month originally allocated. The Heavenly Monarch agreed, urging him not to disappoint.

Later, Lian Song confronted Ye Hua, questioning if he was truly willing to abandon his future as Heavenly Monarch for a mortal woman, quoting the mortal saying, "Choosing to love a woman over one's empire is not the act of a wise emperor." Ye Hua responded that a ruler who reluctantly ascends the throne would never be wise, and it was better to leave the position for a more virtuous person.

He considered this battle his way of repaying the Heavenly Monarch for raising and teaching him. Lian Song, seeing Ye Hua's unshakeable resolve, reluctantly agreed to help, viewing it as a karmic consequence of arranging Ye Hua's marriage to Bai Qian of Qing Qiu. He promised to testify that Ye Hua had "dissipated into dust," with no trace remaining.

Lian Song cautioned Ye Hua to be extremely careful, as the Heavenly Monarch was highly skeptical and would pursue him even if he hid outside the three realms and five elements. Ye Hua assured him he knew the Heavenly Monarch's temperament well. Before the battle, Ye Hua decided to visit his mother, Le Xu.

As he and Lian Song passed through a palace, they encountered Su Jin, who was overseeing renovations for Ye Hua's upcoming wedding, which she announced was ordered by the Heavenly Monarch. Lian Song mentioned they were going to greet Le Xu, and Su Jin commented that Le Xu missed Ye Hua greatly. Upon arriving, Le Xu expressed sadness that Ye Hua always maintained such etiquette, which diminished their mother-son bond.

She lamented not being allowed to raise him from birth, feeling immense guilt for not being there for him. She also regretted being the last to know about his arranged marriage to Bai Qian and not having the right to ask about his happiness. Ye Hua comforted her, explaining that as Crown Prince, his personal satisfaction was not paramount. Le Xu wished he could have been an ordinary child, free from such burdens.

She revealed a deep unease since hearing he was leading troops to Long Sea, a feeling Lian Song dismissed as typical female worry. Ye Hua gently urged his mother to take good care of herself. On the day of the battle, as Ye Hua marshaled the Heavenly troops alongside Die Feng and the Long Sea Water Monarch, Su Jin unexpectedly appeared in full military attire.

She declared that she had received the Heavenly Monarch's permission to join the battle, citing her tribe's past sacrifices and her being the last surviving member. Concerned, Lian Song pulled Su Jin aside, questioning her presence and her intent, noting she was ill-equipped for battle. Su Jin boldly stated her desire to "live and die with His Highness the Crown Prince."

Lian Song directly asked if she still harbored feelings for Ye Hua and warned her that, as the Heavenly Monarch's consort, any possibility with Ye Hua was nonexistent. Su Jin, however, defiantly pointed out that Bai Qian had managed to cancel one engagement and marry Ye Hua, implying that anything was possible in the Heavenly Palace. Lian Song dismissed her words as absurd and urged her not to hinder Ye Hua.

Lian Song expressed his heightened concern to Ye Hua that Su Jin's presence might jeopardize the fake death plan, stressing the need for absolute thoroughness. Ye Hua assured him there would be no flaws. Lian Song then voiced his deepest fear: the Merpeople's Soul Severing Blade could completely dissipate a being. He asked if Ye Hua truly intended to take such a blow.

Ye Hua confirmed it, stating it was the only way to convincingly fake his demise for the Heavenly Monarch. Lian Song called him "hopeless" for risking his life for Su Su. Ye Hua promised to control the severity of the injury, making it appear fatal without truly being so, and then Lian Song was to hide him in a remote place and report his complete dissipation. Lian Song, unable to dissuade him, reluctantly agreed.

He asked Ye Hua one last time if he would truly be content once the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Palace no longer existed. Ye Hua replied that he merely hoped to "extricate myself as soon as possible and never be shackled again."
