[Two storylines + striving toward a shared future + a mutual journey of growth]
Yu Ran endured a heavenly tribulation on Chishui Mountain. His true form, a spiritual lotus that had shared his life for many years, summoned him and told him of a long-forgotten, extremely obscure mission. After learning the truth about his origins, Yu Ran accepted the mission with the recommendation of an elder from the Lingyun Sect and the support of his parents. He gathered the companions with whom he had once won the Magic Arts Tournament, changed his name to Chiran, and said a temporary farewell to Young Master Gu Xuan, whose page he had once been. Then he set off on a long journey to train, fight monsters, level up, and search for the Star of Heaven.
Meanwhile, Gu Xuan was actually Yi, the scion of the dragon clan from the Ninth Heaven. He had taken on the mission of restoring the divine clans alone, and was assigned to inhabit the corpse of Young Master Gu Xuan in the lower realm, becoming a hidden informant for the dragon clan there. After Crown Prince Chen of the Divine Dragon Clan welcomed his fiancée, Princess Yun Ying, to the Ninth Heaven, the daily movements of Yi and Chen were exposed. The two had no choice but to disguise themselves, accept the Celestial Sovereign's decree, and join the campaign to exterminate the Demonic Envoys of Shang Ye.
