Yi Er, with nothing to do in the Heavenly Realm, couldn't control her longing for the Demon Lord. She secretly came to the mortal realm and ended up breaking the seedlings that Da Tao had diligently planted. Da Tao hurriedly reported this to Yan Yue, who immediately saw Yi Er hidden among the seedlings. However, she was already heavily intoxicated and speaking incoherently.

The Demon Lord tortured Ou Ya mercilessly but couldn't extract the whereabouts of the phoenix from him. Instead, he learned about Ou Ya's true intentions in approaching Wei Zhi. Although Ou Ya desperately wanted to solve the problem of the scarcity and thin bloodline of the female demon race, he never considered forcing Wei Zhi. As a result, the Demon Lord spared Ou Ya's life.

At first, Da Tao thought Yi Er was drinking because of Yan Yue, considering their prior engagement. However, Yi Er firmly denied it, emphasizing that they had no romantic feelings for each other and that her affections lay with someone from the Demon Realm. Da Tao was shocked and admired her at the same time, realizing that Yi Er was in unrequited love and feeling a sense of shared destiny.

Alone at his residence, Yan Yue was suddenly embraced tightly by Wei Zhi, who was deeply anxious, fearing complete separation. Yan Yue vowed to protect Wei Zhi. Since Mu Lao couldn't decipher the mechanism's poison, Yan Yue had to return to the Heavenly Realm and seek the assistance of the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor sighed, knowing that Yan Yue could never escape his destiny, and revealed the deep connection between his mother and the phoenix.

When the phoenix descended upon the mountains, it was unruly and gathered immense evil power over the long years, causing havoc and triggering a devastating war. Only Yan Yue's birth mother, Xi Cai, a celestial being, could contend with the phoenix. Xi Cai was tasked with capturing the phoenix and trapping it within a sea of flowers, using pure spiritual energy to cleanse its delusions.

However, the phoenix went mad once again, breaking through the celestial demon barrier and causing a catastrophe. In a critical moment, Xi Cai sacrificed herself, burning alongside the phoenix's jade stone, using up her remaining cultivation to save countless dying beings. The Heavenly Emperor shared this story to help Yan Yue understand that slaying the phoenix was his duty as the Red Sun God. He had to wait until the phoenix's bloodline erupted for the third time; otherwise, the phoenix would be reborn through Nirvana and utterly destroy the Three Realms.

Burdened with the mission to save all beings, Yan Yue couldn't bear to harm Wei Zhi with his own hands, leaving him in a painful dilemma. The Heavenly Emperor, enraged by this, released Yan Yue from his seal and showed him the scenes of their past battles. Overwhelmed by the formidable seal's power, Yan Yue couldn't endure it and eventually lost consciousness.

Ming Lang deployed his troops to defend Gu City against Wei Lingyue. Gu Shi, considering the vast difference in military strength, revealed the location of Gu City's secret passage to Ming Lang in order to ensure the safety of the elderly, weak, and women in Gu City. Meanwhile, Mu Lao suddenly arrived at the White Egret Academy and advised Jing Xiu to go along with the influential Wei Lingyue by the Emperor's side to secure his own prosperity. However, Jing Xiu refused his advice.

Now that Yan Yue had regained his memories from his past life, he understood that he couldn't defy the Heavenly Emperor's will and should eliminate any future troubles for the beings in the Three Realms. However, Wei Zhi was innocent and kind-hearted. Yan Yue pleaded with Qing Huan to grant him some time alone with Wei Zhi, as a final farewell.

Back in the Taoyuan Village, Yan Yue concealed the truth from Wei Zhi and accompanied her in happy and blissful moments. He gave her a hairpin he had personally made and cooked noodles for her to celebrate her birthday. Wei Zhi, recalling past events, regretted causing trouble for her grandfather and father, and since then, she had never celebrated her birthday.

Wei Zhi took Yan Yue to the seaside, where she confessed her love for him, hoping they could be together forever and imagining time freezing in that moment. Upon hearing this, Yan Yue used magic to temporarily stop time. Before Wei Zhi could notice, he made her fall asleep again and drew his Red Dawn Sword. With tears in his eyes, Yan Yue kissed Wei Zhi goodbye and gripped the sword, preparing to strike her.
