Seeing Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen turned into ice statues, Wen Xiao was overwhelmed with grief, feeling that her life had lost all meaning. She blamed herself for not being strong enough—first watching her master being killed by hostile energy, and now witnessing her dear friend facing calamity. She felt helpless and reached for a dagger to end her life. Pei Sijing quickly snatched the dagger from her hand and slapped Wen Xiao.

The two women, in despair, embraced each other and cried. The great demon in the cave, witnessing their sorrow, reflected on the fact that after living for millions of years, it still witnessed something as pure as true friendship, a feeling so rare that it longed to experience it again in the human world. Pei Sijing then took out the item that Zhuo Yichen had entrusted to Wen Xiao, only to find it was a dried bouquet of wildflowers.

She initially thought it might have some role in repairing the Yun Guang Sword, but Wen Xiao explained it was just a birthday gift she had given Zhuo Yichen when she first joined the Demon-Hunting Bureau. At that time, Zhuo Yichen had been in mourning and couldn’t celebrate, so Wen Xiao had picked the delicate wildflowers. She had told Zhuo Yichen that the world wouldn't remain dark forever, and there would always be hope.

However, years had passed, and Zhuo Yichen still hadn’t found the sunlight he was promised. As Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing hesitated to leave, the great demon in the stone wall was moved. It decided to give Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen one last chance. In its divine consciousness, there was an illusionary realm where the past could be glimpsed. If the two could overcome this trial, they would be revived.

Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen soon entered the great demon’s divine consciousness and found themselves witnessing a conversation between the Ice Yi and Ying Long. The Ice Yi asked Ying Long why he was willing to bear the pain of severed limbs and the removal of his heart, just to give the Yun Guang Sword to him.

Ying Long replied that after the great battle, the world was in chaos and darkness, and the Great Wilderness was on the brink of destruction. He, who possessed the power of creation, decided to transform into a star to illuminate the world. Therefore, he used his beast bone to forge the Yun Guang Sword, intending to kill himself and save the Great Wilderness.

The Ice Yi was torn between his loyalty to the Great Wilderness and his deep friendship with Ying Long. No matter what choice he made, it would bring great pain. Ying Long saw his inner turmoil and stepped forward to impale his heart with the Yun Guang Sword, assuring the Ice Yi that he should not feel guilty or responsible for his death. The conversation was with Ying Long, who, after transforming into a star, left his consciousness in the cave.

This helped Zhao Yuanzhou understand that the legend about Ying Long’s punishment was a misunderstanding—Ying Long had not been punished for causing chaos, but had willingly sacrificed himself for the sake of the common people. Despite being a demon, he understood the higher principles of humanity, willing to shoulder the burden for the greater good.

The Ice Yi, like Ying Long, had also chosen to guard the people for eternity with his sword, and their bond resembled the friendship between Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen—where both were willing to give everything for each other. Ying Long was relieved that Zhao Yuanzhou had made the right choice, otherwise, they would have been trapped forever in an illusion.

Just before Ying Long’s consciousness faded away, he gave a final message to Zhuo Yichen: the Yun Guang Sword should not be used for killing, but for protection. He told Zhuo Yichen to seek a piece of dragon scale from the eastern part of the Great Wilderness, which could repair all things. Shortly after, the two were separated from the illusion, and the ice around them slowly melted.

When they regained their lives, Wen Xiao and Pei Sijing rushed forward, overjoyed, and embraced them. Using the last remnants of his consciousness, Ying Long informed Zhuo Yichen that a mortal could not bear demonic blood and would have to fully absorb the Ice Yi’s inner elixir to become a demon. Zhuo Yichen, no longer concerned with whether he was human or demon, accepted the dragon bone Ying Long offered him.

As Zhuo Yichen was fully transformed into a demon, Ying Long’s consciousness dissipated. Zhuo Yichen felt the power of the inner elixir within him. Wen Xiao asked about his true form, and everyone speculated that with the Ice Yi’s blood and Ying Long’s bones, his true form might be that of a dragon. Zhao Yuanzhou, however, teased him, saying he was probably just a stubborn mule.

Bai Yan thanked Wen Xiao for repairing the Bai Ze order and allowing him to see the light again. He also expressed deep gratitude to the Demon-Hunting Team for their care of Bai Jiu. When Bai Jiu was mentioned, Zhuo Yichen felt a pang of guilt. Wen Xiao then brought up the need to obtain the dragon scales of the Princess Longyu to separate Li Lun from Bai Jiu.

The Princess Longyu had been sealed deep within the Great Wilderness by the Goddess after leaving the Great Wilderness without permission. Ao Yin overheard their conversation and reported it to Zhen Mei. Zhen Mei, in turn, sent a message to Wen Zongyu, informing him that the Demon-Hunting Team was searching for the Princess Longyu.
