Lian Ji looked at the handsome man before her, hearing a familiar voice, and recognized him as Yuan Ji. She murmured, "Are we still alive?" Yuan Ji's eyes were full of tenderness as he promised to protect her, ensuring she wouldn't die. Lian Ji then asked what had happened, only recalling that she and the Ice Queen had charged at each other, using all their energy to kill the other, and that her vital energy had suffered great damage.

She questioned if the Ice Queen was still alive, to which Yuan Ji replied, "She is dead." When Lian Ji then asked if he had killed her, Yuan Ji stated, "We killed her," implying Lian Ji was also involved. Yuan Ji then offered for Lian Ji to see for herself using magic. As Lian Ji cast a spell, she was astonished to find that it was not Ice Tribe magic.

Yuan Ji explained with a wicked smile that it was Ice-Flame Tribe magic. He revealed that when Lian Ji was dying, he had passed on some of his vital energy to her to offset her injuries, then entered her body and killed the Ice Queen right before Ka Suo's eyes. Lian Ji immediately confirmed if she could now use Ice-Flame magic, to which Yuan Ji gave an affirmative answer, stating that now they were one.

However, he noted that their combined powers were only 10% of what he had 10,000 years ago. Lian Ji then asked how they would kill Ka Suo to avenge Shi. Yuan Ji told her they must wait until the Hidden Lotus blooms.

He explained that his current appearance was merely an illusion created by magic and that only after the Hidden Lotus bloomed could he make a wish to restore his true form, recollect his scattered spiritual powers, and regain 100% of his original power. Only then could he destroy those "inferior nobodies" who had betrayed him. Lian Ji expressed concern about Ka Suo's current spiritual powers, wondering if they could truly kill him.

Yuan Ji’s lips curled into a cruel smile as he declared that they would not only kill Ka Suo but also torment him, making his life worse than death. He believed Ka Suo would soon seek them out for revenge for the Ice Queen. Lian Ji worried what would happen if Ka Suo arrived before the Hidden Lotus bloomed. With a slight smile, Yuan Ji led Lian Ji to a vast area, which she recognized as Divine Snow Mountain.

Yuan Ji explained that the mountains, clouds, oceans, and islands she saw might not be real, possibly existing within a tiny leaf, portraying another world entirely. In Divine Snow Mountain, things are not always what they seem, constantly changing yet simple. Lian Ji, confused, asked for clarification. Yuan Ji said that in Divine Snow Mountain, the person with the strongest spiritual power is the master.

He added that once the Hidden Lotus bloomed, he could regain his old body, and then all glory and victory would belong to them. Meanwhile, in the Dream Tribe, Yue Shen and Huang Tuo were playing a game. Huang Tuo, blindfolded, asked for a reward if he caught her. Yue Shen playfully promised to let him kiss her if he succeeded. Huang Tuo caught her, excitedly saying, "I've captured you!"

Just as he leaned in for a kiss, Liao Jian suddenly punched him in the face. Huang Tuo cried out in pain, asking why Liao Jian hit him so hard. Liao Jian, without apology, scornfully declared, "Men shouldn't kiss each other! How could you try to kiss me!" as Huang Tuo had apparently attempted to kiss him. Yue Shen, confused, asked Huang Tuo what he had been dreaming about. Huang Tuo awkwardly claimed he was dreaming of catching Lingzhi Sprites.

Pian Feng teased him, noting how friendly those sprites must be. Realizing what Huang Tuo was implying, Yue Shen indignantly warned him not to have such strange dreams again, especially if they might accidentally see them. Huang Tuo chuckled, retorting that dreams are meant to be pursued, in case they come true. Suddenly, Xing Jiu rushed in. Yue Shen asked why the Chief Dreamer had invited them into the dream.

Liao Jian explained that the Ice Queen had been killed by Yuan Ji and Lian Ji, and both murderers were on the run. He suggested that all tribes should unite to avenge the Ice Queen. However, others reported receiving messenger owls from Ka Suo, instructing them not to go to the City of Bladed Snow. Xing Jiu then revealed he had already been to the City of Bladed Snow.

Liao Jian eagerly asked what Ka Suo had said and who Yuan Ji truly was. Pian Feng also voiced his concern, asking if Ka Suo intended to confront Yuan Ji alone. Just then, Mermaid Saint appeared, expressing her curiosity about what had transpired at Lian Qiu Island and requesting Xing Jiu to share what he knew.

Xing Jiu, initially reluctant, claiming some truths were better left unknown to avoid distress, eventually agreed to tell them as the others insisted they should make their own decisions. In Fire City, Fire King praised Yan Da's progress in magic, particularly her shapeshifting spell. Yan Da expressed regret that she was a daughter, but Fire King assured her it was perfectly fine, as she possessed her own unique strengths.

Back in the Dream Tribe, Xing Gui awoke from a distressing dream in which Xing Jiu told her he was going to a very distant place with Ka Suo and was entrusting the Dream Tribe to her. Still troubled, she found Xing Jiu and tearfully asked if he was truly leaving. Xing Jiu, after a moment of silence, explained that Ka Suo was fighting for the Three Realms, and he could not let the King face the enemy alone.

Xing Gui, hurt, accused him of abandoning her. Xing Jiu gently denied it, explaining that defeating Yuan Ji was the only way for the Three Realms and the Dream Tribe to have a future, and for her to have one too. Xing Gui, crying, hugged him tightly, begging him not to leave. Xing Jiu held her, reminding her that she was not only the princess of the Dream Tribe but also its most talented dream seeker.

He reasoned that if she had already dreamed of his departure, then he certainly would not be staying. Xing Gui then confessed that she would die if he left, asking if he would still go. Xing Jiu sadly replied that if it was his destiny, he could only accept it. Distraught, Xing Gui cried out that if he left, she never wanted to see him again and hated him, before running off.

In the City of Bladed Snow, Ka Suo walked slowly, reflecting on his past. He recalled his promise to Li Luo that he would one day bring her back, and his love for the selflessly devoted Lan Shang. He also remembered Shi's last words, urging him to "live a life of freedom." Ka Suo then walked into the city. In the royal hall, Ka Suo carefully placed his phoenix robes and crown on the throne.

The Ice King's voice suddenly echoed, "Ka Suo, you'll be going to Divine Snow Mountain tomorrow." Facing his aging father, Ka Suo stoically declared that if he did not return from Divine Snow Mountain, the City of Bladed Snow would be in Ice King's hands. The Ice King solemnly stated that as the King of the Three Realms, Ka Suo bore the responsibility for the crisis. However, as a father, he only wished for Ka Suo's safe return.

He then presented the God Devouring Sword. Ka Suo immediately refused, explaining that the sword was named "God Devouring" because its owner was whoever killed a god. He believed himself to be Shi's killer and refused to carry a sword that would constantly remind him of Shi's blood on his hands.

The Ice King insisted that the sword could stimulate all his spiritual powers, making it the only way to defeat Yuan Ji, and that Ka Suo was its true owner. Ka Suo remained firm, declaring that he would definitely defeat Yuan Ji to secure true peace for the Three Realms and retrieve the Hidden Lotus to save those he loved. He asked for his father's permission for this path, even if it meant not being forgiven.

On Mermaid Island, Xing Jiu entered Mermaid Saint's dream. He informed her that Yuan Ji was nearly back at Divine Snow Mountain and that the time had come when Ka Suo and the Three Realms needed the Mermaid Tribe the most. The Mermaid Saint, after a moment of reflection, decided to take action. She addressed the honorable previous queens of the Endless Sea, acknowledging her responsibility to maintain peace for 10,000 years.

However, with Yuan Ji's plan for revenge against the Ice-Flame Tribe, she felt the time had come to save the Three Realms and Lan Shang. She asked to borrow all the Mermaid Tribe's gems collected over the millennia to fight for righteousness, even offering her own life as a wager. She demonstrated her resolve by taking out her own teardrop gem, a symbol of a Mermaid royal's wholehearted sacrifice.

At the edge of the Endless Sea, Ka Suo stood alone, silently observing the waters. In the Dream Tribe, Xing Gui rushed to the council hall, only to find a dream left by Xing Jiu, but no sign of him. She cried out, "I hate you, Brother, I hate you!" Outside the City of Bladed Snow, Ka Suo met with the Mermaid Saint, stating his purpose to enter Divine Snow Mountain and requesting to borrow a Teardrop Charm.

Unexpectedly, the leaders of the other tribes appeared. Ka Suo asked Xing Jiu if he had told everyone, to which Xing Jiu admitted Liao Jian had threatened to "eat him alive" if he didn't. The tribal leaders declared their intention to follow Ka Suo to Divine Snow Mountain. Ka Suo tried to dissuade them, explaining that they had not experienced She Mi's memories and did not understand Yuan Ji's immense powers, and that he did not want them to come.

However, the chiefs refused to be left behind, asserting their responsibility for the Three Realms' safety. They threatened to destroy their Teardrop Charms if Ka Suo refused them, effectively preventing anyone from going and waiting for Yuan Ji to attack them instead. The Mermaid Saint then explained that the Teardrop Charms were precious treasures of the Mermaid Tribe, passed down through generations, and could lead them to the entrance of Divine Snow Mountain. She hoped they would not disappoint her.

Ka Suo regretfully commented that the charms were ancient treasures, but he feared this journey might be a one-way trip. Mermaid Saint smiled, arguing that if Yuan Ji could not be defeated, the Three Realms would be destroyed, rendering the Teardrop Charms useless. She then handed her own Teardrop Charm to Ka Suo, saying, "King, fulfilling their wishes is also fulfilling everyone else's." Ka Suo relented, agreeing to let them all go together.

Upon reaching the lake's vortex, Ka Suo turned to Mermaid Saint and told her she could not join them on Divine Snow Mountain. If they failed, he implored her to do her best to seal off the Endless Sea, preventing Yuan Ji from escaping and harming the Three Realms. Mermaid Saint solemnly nodded in agreement. With that, everyone leaped into the swirling vortex. As they set foot on Divine Snow Mountain, Liao Jian immediately exclaimed he needed to relieve himself.

While looking for a spot, he stumbled upon a peculiar stone, which caught everyone's attention. To their surprise, such stones were scattered everywhere. Chao Ya examined a stone, then announced, "Hey, there's a pasture in here!"

Ka Suo gazed at the scene, recalling a moment from his ancestor She Mi's dream, where She Mi held a similar stone, explaining that Divine Snow Mountain held countless mysteries, and gods could perceive myriad worlds within a single flower, blade of grass, piece of wood, or stone. Ka Suo stated that this was Divine Snow Mountain, the ancestral home of their tribes.

When Pian Feng asked how to find the Hidden Lotus, Ka Suo closed his eyes in thought, then pointed in a direction, saying that according to She Mi's memories, they should go that way. After a long journey, they discovered what appeared to be the original City of Bladed Snow, realizing that their current City of Bladed Snow was merely a replica built in its image. After a brief admiration, they entered the city.

Yue Shen pointed to a divine mountain in the distance, believing the Hidden Lotus to be there. However, despite walking for a long time, the mountain seemed no closer. They eventually realized they had been walking in circles. Just then, a person with a strange laugh appeared. The group quickly subdued him, demanding to know where they were. The person glanced at Liao Jian and haughtily stated that even if they killed him, they would never leave this place.

Ka Suo asked if he knew how to leave. The person proudly declared himself the guardian of the place and confirmed he knew the way out. Ka Suo ordered the others to release him. The guardian then explained that the entrance to Divine Snow Mountain was under the Grand Priestess's jurisdiction, and they would only be able to enter if they solved her challenge. The group, eager to discover the Grand Priestess's identity, followed the guardian.

Unbeknownst to them, Yan Da, disguised by her shapeshifting spell, was following closely behind. Fire King, having witnessed Yan Da's advanced illusionary skills which even he couldn't penetrate, decided to entrust her with Lan Shang's Teardrop Charm. He instructed her to follow Ka Suo and his companions into Divine Snow Mountain, remain hidden, and seize the Hidden Lotus when the opportune moment arrived, to exact revenge for her brothers.
