Zhu Yan decided to leave the mountain and distance herself from Shi Ying because of the ordeal of fate, fearing that her foolish actions would harm Shi Ying. Shi Ying said that even though Zhu Yan "killed" him as foretold, she also brought him back to life. Without Zhu Yan in his heart, he would have perished long ago. This showed that nothing is set in stone, so he does not believe in fate. Shi Ying kissed Zhu Yan, believing that love can conquer all.

Shi Ying had thought that Wu Xian was dead, as the wise usually self-destruct. But now he realized that if Wu Xian could come back to life, then the wise must still be alive and has another hidden identity. Shi Ying bid farewell to the immortals in the mountain and asked Chong Ming if he wanted to continue traveling with them. Chong Ming felt that he was the ancient divine bird of the Jiuyi Mountain and should protect peace in the area, so he declined to go down the mountain with them. Chong Ming had previously wanted to say goodbye to Zhu Yan, knowing from the first time he saw her that she would take Shi Ying away sooner or later. He entrusted Zhu Yan's care to ensure that they would leave the mountain happily.

Shi Ying was reluctant to part with Chong Ming and hugged him, but Chong Ming chose to leave on his own initiative, telling Shi Ying not to miss him too much. Shi Ying decided to leave the Jiuyi Mountain with nothing, as he believed that the Jiuyi Mountain had brought Zhu Yan to him, and that was already enough for him.

On their way down the mountain, Shi Ying sought a way to retrieve Zhu Yan's five senses, but they had already missed the nine-day period. Only Zhu Yan's strongest desire in her heart could break the barrier of the Middle Yin energy. Zhu Yan said that when Shi Ying kissed her, she felt something. Shi Ying reassured her that her heart's desires were also his.

Qing Gang reported White Fenglin's collusion and betrayal to the King of Bei Mian, who ordered White Wang's execution and demotion to a commoner. Due to Bai Xuelu's righteousness in killing her own relatives, she was ennobled as the White Wang, and the King of Bei Mian allowed her to bring her mother's tablet back to the White Mansion.

Bai Fenglin reported that the King of Chi, Zhu Gaozhao, and the princess, Zhu Yan, committed a great offense, which led to a massacre of nine clans. The Chi Tribe and the Jiao Tribe have been colluding for 200 years, protecting the Sea Emperor. Bai Yan returned to the Tianji Wind City and the Chi King Mansion with Shi Ying. The King of Chi thanked Shi Ying for taking care of his daughter all these years. He thanked Shi Ying with a drink, but seeing that Shi Ying was not good at drinking, Zhu Yan drank the wine from Shi Ying's hand in one gulp. Shi Ying told the King and the Queen of Chi that he and Zhu Yan loved each other and had experienced life and death together. He had prepared a marriage proposal according to the Chi Tribe's customs and asked the King and Queen to marry Zhu Yan to him.

Zhu Yan had always refused the marriage arranged by the Queen of Chi. At this moment, the Queen of Chi finally realized that Shi Ying was the person in her daughter's heart. She entrusted Zhu Yan to Shi Ying. Zhu Yan was looking forward to her wedding with Shi Ying. She wanted to invite people from the entire Tianji Wind City, as well as Xueying, Shiyu, and others. Long Shen will awaken soon, but now is not the right time for him to wake up. She let Ruyi take Long Shen back to the Bi Luo Sea, while she entered a dormant period, waiting for Long Shen to awaken after seventy years.

The Guixie Star lit up again, and Shi Ying suspected that Zhi Yuan was not the real Sea Emperor. He believed that Zhi Yuan was merely protecting the true ruler of the Jiao people by playing a trick. Qing Gang arrived with an imperial decree, accusing the Chi King Mansion of colluding with the Jiao Tribe and escorting the entire Chi Mansion to Jia Lan for trial. Zhu Yan blamed herself for implicating the Chi Mansion and said that no one knew Zhi Yuan's identity as the Sea Emperor when he was in the Chi Mansion. The King of Chi took the blame for Zhu Yan and claimed full responsibility for any crimes committed.

The imperial envoy planned to take the people from the Chi Mansion away, but Shi Ying showed up and ordered them to protect the people from the Chi Mansion, promising to report the details to the Emperor. Shi Ying returned to Jia Lan to meet the King of Bei Mian, hoping that he wouldn't make the wrong judgment about the Chi Mansion's case. The King of Bei Mian knew that Zhu Yan was the princess of the Chi Tribe and Shi Ying's beloved. He agreed to spare Zhu Yan's life but could not spare the Chi Tribe. Shi Ying explained that Zhi Yuan did work as a steward in the Chi Mansion, but he only returned to the Jiao Tribe after leaving the Chi Mansion. He signed a truce agreement with the Jiao Tribe and even used his own life to exchange for peace between the two tribes. Shi Ying vouched with his life and requested a half-month period.

Shi Ying told Zhu Yan that the return of the Guixie Star meant that Zhi Yuan was not the Sea Emperor. He decided that they should no longer pursue the Sea Emperor because he believed that even an individual's life could be influenced, let alone the fate of a nation. He thought that the person Zhi Yuan protected at the cost of everything would not be the demon who caused bloodshed in Kong Sang. Shi Ying decided to use the half-month period to go to the Cangwu Abyss and see the Dragon God. Perhaps the Dragon God could help them.

The Emperor of the Stars wanted to use the power of the Sky Emperor and Earth Emperor to destroy Cloud Wasteland and establish a new realm. However, he found that White Wei had placed a Dragon Soul Seal on the Earth Ring, which could only be unlocked with the blood of the Sea Emperor. After seven thousand years, the Sea Emperor returned to Kong Sang. The Emperor of the Stars believed that no one could stop him from destroying Cloud Wasteland. Shi Ying arrived with Zhu Yan at the Cangwu Abyss to meet the Dragon God. Through the incident with Zhi Yuan, Shi Ying realized that fate could not determine the destiny of a nation. If the ruler and officials are virtuous, the country and people will prosper, and no one can shake the foundation of Kong Sang. However, if the king is corrupt, the people will suffer. Seven thousand years ago, Queen White Wei worked hard for the Sea Country and prevented the Jiao Tribe's tragic destruction. Two hundred years ago, Red Pearl Fei Li fought for peace for her beloved and achieved peace between the two tribes. Over the thousands of years, Kong Sang and the Jiao Tribe were already inseparable. Shi Ying begged the Dragon God to reveal to the world the innocence of Zhi Yuan and the Chi Tribe.

The Dragon God said that Zhi Yuan was not dead; he had already implanted the Dragon's Breath in Zhi Yuan's body, so Zhi Yuan was still alive. The person who could wake him up must also be from Kong Sang. Zhu Yan used the techniques taught by Shi Ying to awaken Zhi Yuan, and Zhi Yuan woke up. After seeing that Shi Ying and Zhu Yan were finally together, he sincerely expressed his blessings. Shi Ying, though aware that the Sea Emperor was not Zhi Yuan, had already seen through the prophecy after experiencing life and death. Zhi Yuan learned that Shi Ying would not harm the Sea Emperor and revealed that Su Mo was indeed the Sea Emperor.

To prevent Su Mo's identity from being exposed and causing chaos, Shi Ying wanted to see Su Mo return to the Bi Luo Sea with his own eyes. Zhi Yuan took Shi Ying and others to the Huangquan Waterfall. Shi Ying saw Su Mo in a coma due to the Dream Alteration technique. He taught Zhi Yuan and Zhu Yan how to break the dream, and Su Mo woke up successfully. After bidding farewell to Zhu Yan, Su Mo followed Ruyi back to the Bi Luo Sea. At this time, Xu Yao arrived and wanted the Sea Emperor's blood. Zhu Yan found out in time and tried to stop him. Zhi Yuan also closed the passage to the Bi Luo Sea just in time.

Xu Yao took control of Zhi Yuan's body, intending to control the future Sea Emperor and use him to control the fate of the Sea Country. Shi Ying sensed that Xu Yao's aura was very familiar and realized that Xu Yao had controlled the Great Emperor of the Stars before. Zhi Yuan struggled for his beloved, but Xu Yao told him that Zhu Yan was not the reincarnation of Red Pearl Fei Li and even claimed that Zhu Yan killed the last trace of consciousness of Yao Yi, deceiving Zhi Yuan into turning Zhu Yan into Yao Yi.

Zhi Yuan couldn't resist Xu Yao's control in the end. Shi Ying knew that Xu Yao was skilled at exploiting the darkest and most selfish obsession of the original owner, as he had done with the Emperor of the Stars' feelings for Queen White Wei. Now, he was using Zhi Yuan's obsession with Yao Yi. Shi Ying no longer had magical powers and was injured by Zhi Yuan. But he was unwilling to admit that Zhu Yan was Yao Yi. Zhu Yan couldn't bear to see Shi Ying die in front of her and told Zhi Yuan that she was willing to become Yao Yi, temporarily persuading Zhi Yuan to spare Shi Ying.

Zhi Yuan took Zhu Yan to a new residence and forced her to go through the marriage ceremony with him. He planned to use the power of the Earth Emperor to turn Zhu Yan into Yao Yi completely. At the critical moment when Zhu Yan was gradually losing her memory and becoming Yao Yi, Shi Ying arrived. Shi Ying had been severely injured before, but unexpectedly survived and regained his magical powers. However, even with Zhu Yan's help, they were unable to resist the Earth Ring's power held by Zhi Yuan. Zhu Yan was injured, and Zhi Yuan briefly regained his senses, instructing Shi Ying to take Zhu Yan away quickly.

Shi Ying believed that Xu Yao now controlled Zhi Yuan and possessed the power of the Earth Ring. Over time, Xu Yao's ability to manipulate people's minds would become stronger and could even manipulate the army at will. Once he found the Sea Emperor through Zhi Yuan, he could unleash the combined power of the two rings to destroy Cloud Wasteland. They needed to find a way to retrieve the Earth Ring as soon as possible.
