The eighth petal of the lotus flower has bloomed, and Du declares that the retributions have ended. He plans to report back to the upper heaven to find out what's going on. The elder du wonders if the lotus is actually turning into the second heaven. Du explains that the nine petals on the lotus are the sign of the fate of the nine petal lotus, which is just the first heaven. The second heaven is the heaven of the heavenlord, and the only case he's heard about is when he overcomes his re-retribution 2.6 million years ago. Du thinks that Du's mind is about to turn, and he wonders if he'll be able to play a big role in the future. Du also thinks that huo is trying to find a great husband for his daughter, and that the last petal will bloom too. Du feels like his body is frozen and his mind is frozen. He thinks that his eye is giving off a fierce hostility.
