Chenghuang explained to Pei Sijing that he was able to control Pei Siheng due to Pei Siheng's deep desire to become stronger. Pei Siheng had been frail since childhood, and Pei Sijing had to train in martial arts to protect him, even though she didn’t enjoy it. Pei Siheng saw this and wanted to change himself completely. Chenghuang exploited Pei Siheng’s desire, offering to help fulfill his wish.

When Pei Siheng heard that he could relieve his sister's burden, he agreed without even considering the cost. Pei Sijing was filled with regret, realizing she had been the one to doom her brother. Her final words to Pei Siheng before killing him had been full of blame. Chenghuang tempted her, offering to let her see her brother again.

Bai Jiu, overhearing the conversation near the sundial, realized Chenghuang was trying to control Pei Sijing and shouted to warn her, but Pei Sijing couldn't hear him. Just as Chenghuang was about to absorb Pei Sijing’s soul using an hourglass, Bai Jiu crossed over through the sundial to her side, stopping Chenghuang. Angry, Chenghuang suspended Bai Jiu in the air. Pei Sijing regained consciousness, picked up her bow, and aimed at Chenghuang, who then released Bai Jiu.

He summoned a puppet version of Pei Siheng, who confronted Pei Sijing, asking why she had been so heartless toward him. Chenghuang incited Pei Siheng to kill his sister for revenge. Zhao Yuanzhou and Zhuo Yichen analyzed why they entered Zhi Mei’s dream. Zhi Mei had once been the top courtesan, desiring eternal youth and beauty. Chenghuang exploited this vulnerability, turning her into a puppet that needed to consume human blood to survive.

Peony petals were scattered across the stage in Tianxiang Pavilion, and Wen Xiao had seen the same petals at the victim’s home, confirming that Zhi Mei was the murderer. Pei Siheng’s appearance at the victim's home was just a distraction. Pei Siheng couldn’t bear to kill Pei Sijing, so Chenghuang attacked her himself. Pei Siheng, desperate, entered Zhi Mei’s dream to seek Zhao Yuanzhou’s help.

Just as Pei Sijing was about to be strangled, Zhao Yuanzhou arrived in time to stop it. Zhao Yuanzhou had discovered that Chenghuang was colluding with Li Lun, so he questioned Chenghuang about what terms he had offered to make Li Lun willingly hand over his beloved sundial. Chenghuang didn’t hide it, explaining that he had used his power to open the gate to Kunlun.

As Chenghuang began casting a spell, Zhuo Yichen countered with the Yun Guang Sword, while Zhao Yuanzhou attacked with an umbrella. Soon after, Wen Xiao regained her identity as the Baize Goddess and questioned Chenghuang. She demanded to know why he, despite his profound power, committed such evil deeds by manipulating people’s desires, turning them into puppets, and feeding on their blood to sustain himself.

Chenghuang admitted he controlled Pei Siheng to commit murders but scoffed, saying that not even the original goddess could stop him, let alone Wen Xiao, who only held half the divine power. Seeing that Pei Siheng was no longer obeying him, Chenghuang killed him and left the sundial area alone. Pei Sijing held her brother’s fading body, overwhelmed with grief and helplessness. Pei Siheng finally realized that his sister did care about him.

He urged her to live well before his body vanished. With Chenghuang gone, the others couldn’t leave the sundial. Zhao Yuanzhou examined the puppets of those who had made wishes and discovered one in the shape of a woman that had no memory. Wen Xiao explained that this woman was the original goddess; she’d heard about her from her master. Zhao Yuanzhou noticed that the goddess puppet had been repainted, suggesting she held special importance to Chenghuang.

Using the threat of shattering the goddess puppet, he forced Chenghuang to reappear. As expected, Chenghuang showed himself. Zhao Yuanzhou questioned his relationship with the original goddess, and Chenghuang led the group to another illusion, this time to the Kunlun Gate, the passage between the Great Wilderness and the mortal world. Chenghuang revealed that there were two who governed the Baize Order: the goddess and a powerful demon. The two were kindred spirits, jointly protecting the Great Wilderness.
