Young Master Xiao's mother tells him that he is the pride of the family and that he will soon be the youngest emperor. He tells her that he has sworn to become the strongest man in the world. He says that if the heavens were jealous of him, then the heavens could crack, so it is just a dream, but it is his "demon within his heart" that could destroy the earth and the heavens. He explains that even the "eight-winged black snake emperor" has suffered many times. He adds that even though he is exhausted from his spiritual energy, he enjoys the fact that even "the eight- winged black snake Emperor" has been "suffering a lot." He tells his mother that he should have followed her advice not to create the destructive flame lotus, as it will turn him into a "trash again." He promises to take everything back from his master as long as he is with him.
