Lu Zhishen is reborn in the days when he was at Mount Erlong. Bearing memories of Liangshan’s tragic amnesty, he resolves to defy fate and change the outcome. He keeps brothers such as Wu Song and Yang Zhi from joining Liangshan, and exposes the false face behind Song Jiang’s talk of loyalty and righteousness. Through clever planning, Lu Zhishen dismantles Liangshan’s amnesty scheme and unites heroes from every quarter in an “Anti-Amnesty Alliance.” In the end, he defeats Song Jiang and establishes the “Free and Easy Alliance.” He seeks no dominion over the realm, only to create a peaceful haven where people can live and work in contentment amid the chaos. At last, Lu Zhishen passes away peacefully to the sound of the tides, leaving behind a spirit of freedom that will endure for generations.
