Shi Ying did not kill Zhu Yan. Instead, he took action against the infiltrating members of the Ice Clan in Emperor's Valley. He asked Chong Ming to inform Da Si Ming and decided to confront the Ice Clan alone. When Zhu Yan saw that Shi Ying was in danger and wanted to help, she accidentally burned Bai Xueying's dance skirt. Seeing the reinforcements arriving, the members of the Ice Clan quickly retreated from Emperor's Valley.

When Shi Ying saw Chong Ming and Da Si Ming approaching with others, he quickly hid Zhu Yan. Shi Ying suspected that the Ice Clan's arrival was related to the Earth God Ring. Da Si Ming was also puzzled by this matter. Although the heavens had the power to destroy the world and the earth, and the earth had the power to protect Kongsang, only the chosen ones could control it. Since the Ice Clan attacked, they must have known about this. Da Si Ming believed that not many people knew when Jiu Yi Mountain would defend against the emptiness, so there must be someone with a high position and influence acting as an insider for the Ice Clan.

Da Si Ming noticed that there had been living people in the valley and asked Shi Ying about it. Shi Ying denied it. After Da Si Ming left, Shi Ying released Zhu Yan from her illusion. Zhu Yan asked if flowers and plants had the ability to revive withered trees and wondered if it was the same for people. Shi Ying did not answer the question but instead erased Zhu Yan's memory of the previous night and personally sent her back to her room. Shi Ying returned to his residence, and Chong Ming believed that Zhu Yan was Shi Ying's destined calamity and should be killed directly. However, Shi Ying believed that Zhu Yan was just someone who accidentally entered Emperor's Valley and couldn't have been involved with him in the past, nor would they meet again in the future. It turned out that years ago, Da Si Ming had a puppet replace Shi Ying, but due to several coincidences, it became a calamity for Shi Ying. If Shi Ying met this woman before the age of eighteen, he would die at her hands in the future.

Wu Xian, the leader of the Ice Clan's Ten Witches, told Lord Qing that they encountered a highly skilled young man in Emperor's Valley. They accused Lord Qing of providing inaccurate information. Although Lord Qing was unaware of the situation in Emperor's Valley, he promised to investigate and inform them later, as both sides had promised cooperation for their own benefit.

The next day, Zhu Yan woke up in her room, but she had no memory of meeting Shi Ying the previous night and wondered why she hadn't gone to Emperor's Valley. Chong Ming wanted to know if Zhu Yan was the calamity destined for Shi Ying. He went to the book collection pavilion in Jiu Yi Mountain to search for the identity of the esteemed daughter of Kongsang. He found Zhu Yan's birthdate and concluded that she was not the calamity destined for Shi Ying, finally putting his mind at ease.

Privately, Bai Xuelu went to Emperor's Valley in search of the Earth God Ring. She wanted to use it to become the wife of the Crown Prince of Kongsang or even the Empress of Kongsang. Chong Ming frightened Bai Xuelu in his true form, and Shi Ying recognized her identity with the jade pendant. Shi Ying awakened Bai Xuelu and asked about the well-being of her mother, Queen Bai Yan. Shi Ying learned that the Queen was living a difficult life in the palace. The palace attendants not only neglected to bring her meals but also didn't even provide her with a blanket when she was sick. Shi Ying erased Bai Xuelu's memory and then had Chong Ming send her back, while he went to find Da Si Ming to rescue his mother.

When Shi Ying went to find Da Si Ming, he unexpectedly learned that Da Si Ming had just returned from Jia Lan and that Queen Bai Yan had already died. It turned out that Queen Bai Yan didn't want her son to worry about her and was afraid that others would know that Shi Ying was still alive, so she chose to end her own life by swallowing charcoal. She only wished for Shi Ying to succeed in his future magical arts and protect the people. Shi Ying blamed himself greatly for his mother's death. However, Da Si Ming persuaded Shi Ying that Bai Yan's death was her own choice. Now Shi Ying had to hide his identity and wait to avenge his mother in the future.

When King Bai learned the news of Queen Bai Yan's death, White Xuelu saw it as an opportunity for herself, while King Bai also saw through his daughter's scheming and thought that the illegitimate daughter Bai Xuelu had a better chance of becoming the Crown Prince's wife than Bai Xueying.

Shi Ying erected a monument to commemorate his mother on Jiu Yi Mountain. He blamed himself for cleverly giving his mother Qing Yin Lu Ling, which ultimately led to her death. Da Si Ming said that after Shi Ying's eighteenth birthday and the passing of his destined calamity, he would promote Shi Ying to become the Junior Minister of Fate. With time, when Shi Ying's cultivation reached the true realm, he could take off his divine robe and return to Jia Lan to reclaim the throne. Only then could he take back everything that Bai Yan had lost and avenge her.

Da Si Ming saw that Shi Ying had lost his fighting spirit due to his mother's death. He asked Shi Ying to listen to the decisions regarding Queen Bai Yan made by the Six Clans. Lord Qing believed that the Emperor did not hold Queen Bai Yan in high regard, and only virtuous and righteous people were honored in the sacrifices, so Bai Yan was unworthy. The other kings had no objections, so Da Si Ming had no choice but to remove Bai Yan's name from the list of those honored in the sacrifices. Shi Ying, seeing that his mother was not respected even after her death, was single-minded in seeking revenge and, in his shaken state of mind, fell into a demonic state.
