In Cold Spring Palace, Mo Li demanded that Bai Shuo marry him. Although he knew Bai Shuo was not the same person as Xing Yue, he insisted on completing the wedding that had been left unfinished 60,000 years ago, as long as she had that face. Bai Shuo agreed to Mo Li's marriage proposal, with the condition that he must never harm any living being again.

Mo Li readily agreed and proposed that the wedding take place the next day at Moon Hidden Sea. Tian Huo, guarding the Bright Moon Palace, reflected on the past. Mu Jiu had sacrificed himself for the future of the Fox Tribe; Cang Shan had given his life to settle old grudges; Fan Yue had damaged himself to protect the Polar Realm; Bai Shuo had braved danger to protect the world.

For this reason, she had secretly repaired the Anomalous King Sword using the Flower Clan’s spiritual blood, only to expend all her energy and die in Fan Yue’s arms. Mo Li had recreated the Moon Hidden Sea in order to marry Bai Shuo, preparing the wedding gown Xing Yue had worn 60,000 years ago.

Bai Shuo mocked Mo Li for his arrogance, saying that he would never understand true love, that even though he possessed ten thousand years of divine power, it was all empty. Mo Li, however, did not care at all and warned Bai Shuo to stop struggling in vain. Mo Li took Bai Shuo to Moon Hidden Sea for the wedding.

Just as they were about to exchange vows, Bai Shuo suddenly launched an attack, using the power of Ziyue to strike Mo Li, leaving him utterly stunned. It turned out that Bai Shuo had formed a new divine pact with Fan Yue before coming to Cold Spring Palace, allowing her to control the power of Ziyue, regardless of the backlash from the incompatibility between immortal and demon forces.

Mo Li, furious, accused Bai Shuo of abandoning him for 60,000 years without a shred of appreciation. Bai Shuo told him that loving someone didn't mean possessing them; it also required sacrifice. Everything he did was to satisfy his own desires, and he had never been sincere. He did not know how to love. As Bai Shuo and Mo Li clashed, the backlash from the attack nearly overwhelmed her.

Fortunately, Fan Yue arrived just in time with the Star Moon Divine Bow. Bai Shuo then learned that Tian Huo had used her own body to feed the arrow, reforging the shaft. Upon hearing that Fu Ling was the Star Moon Divine Bow itself, Mo Li laughed, mocking the heavens for its scheming. It seemed that the bow spirit and Zhong Zhao had fallen in love, and now, Mo Li intended to face Bai Shuo and Fan Yue alone.

Now stronger than ever, Mo Li was no match for Bai Shuo and Fan Yue. But Zhong Zhao had destroyed himself in the Sea of Consciousness, using up his immortal power to hold off Mo Li for a moment, buying time for Bai Shuo and the others. As Zhong Zhao said his farewell, he confessed that he had clung to life only because Fu Ling was still around.

He had once foolishly hoped to reclaim his body and live with her forever. But after her death, he no longer had the will to live and had merely been lying in wait, waiting for the moment to strike Mo Li a fatal blow. In the end, Zhong Zhao sacrificed himself, severely wounding Mo Li, and Bai Shuo seized the opportunity to shoot him with an arrow, killing him.

Mo Li’s body dissipated, but the Hidden Heart still posed a threat to the Eastern Continent. It absorbed all the immortal and demon powers from the entire continent. Fan Yue, now a vessel for the Hidden Heart, urged Bai Shuo to hurry and draw the bow. Reluctantly, and with great pain, Bai Shuo drew the bow, achieving enlightenment. Her sixth thought, the thought of great love, became an arrow that pierced Fan Yue and shattered the Hidden Heart.

Fan Yue dissipated into the heavens and earth. In the aftermath of the Hidden One’s rebellion, all the races united, and the immortals put aside their ambitions to protect all living beings. Bai Shuo, a mortal, became a god and was revered as Bai Shuo, the Highest Deity. She walked a path uniquely her own. The Eastern Continent returned to peace, and Bai Shuo stood before Bai Xun's grave, speaking with his apparition.

Bai Xun encouraged her to keep moving forward. At that moment, Bai Shuo’s forehead seal glowed brightly, and she was immediately transported to Moon Hidden Sea. There, she learned that Master Sun had been the embodiment of the Way of Heaven, guiding her actions and leading her to meet and fall in love with Fan Yue. Master Sun explained that the Way of Heaven was the order of the world and could not directly interfere in mortal affairs.

Even though she knew of Mo Li’s evil, she could not completely erase him, so she had awakened Bai Shuo to protect the world. Fortunately, Bai Shuo had not disappointed expectations. Though she had not become Xing Yue, she had become the only exception in ten thousand years, proving that the Way of Heaven could be wrong. Master Sun told Bai Shuo that those who had died for the greater good would return in another form.

With Master Sun’s disappearance, Fan Yue suddenly appeared in Moon Hidden Sea, running toward Bai Shuo. The two embraced sweetly and kissed beneath the moonlit sky.
