When he sees the ancestral dragon, the thunder chain hammer, and the spirit embryo, he realizes that it is time to end the "everlasting battle," and he is ready to fight. He says that he has lost the "pool of faith" and the "holy spear of slaughter," but he is not afraid of the "unreal arrow," because he is much older now. He tells Luozheng that the last thing he remembers is when he went to the forbidden land. The other two lords have sealed needles on him so that they can control him, but he has no memory of the others. He is still chained by the "damn shacle," which means that he is his own enemy. He begs the king to give him another chance. He swears that he will never regret his words. He asks the king not to kill him, since he has nowhere to hide, and he can destroy "all invisible forces" with his holy spear. He also says that if he were to transform himself into dust, he would not be able to escape. He explains that he did not want to let luozheng get away with his crimes, because he knew that he could still kill him even if there were no soul-sealing needles.
