This chapter opens with a soliloquy about the irreplaceability of memory. The narrator says that no matter how much time has passed, the memory of a person is irreversibly able. He says that he is that special person who no one else can replace. He tells us that he and ziyun are engaged, and that they must hurry to the palace. He asks why he said that, and the narrator explains that he has a feeling that something is wrong with him. He wonders why he feels so ill, and he wonders if he has been in the desert before. He also wonders if the images in his head are the images of the demon beasts that are chasing them on the desert. He doesn't know why he is feeling this way, but he does know that the images are happy and painful. He wants to know what is wrong, and wonders if there is a reason behind the images. He knows that he was in the previous world, and now he is in the new world. He does not know why she is remembering her previous life. He has the temporal demon book, and can't remember anything else.
