The moment the first snow touched the ice crystals, the Star Seed buried beneath the tree suddenly broke through the soil. A phantom of the young Su Jiuli emerged from the snow, holding half of a Longevity Lock in her palm, which erupted with a silver glow—the core of the lock was sealing the girl's stripped-away evil soul! The Star Mark on Lin Xuan's chest suddenly burned like molten lava, and his sword from a previous life flew from the void. The Taotie pattern on the spine of the blade split to reveal a third eye, reflecting a horrifying truth from three hundred years ago:

The tip of his blade was not pointed at an enemy, but at Su Jiuli, who had offered herself as a sacrifice! Her tailbone was nailed into the Astrolabe, and the Heaven-Burning Fire incantations on her back were tearing her soul into two—one half was injected into the girl's Ice Coffin, while the other condensed into the Star Seed buried under the tree.
"This is... the true first meeting..." Lin Xuan’s hand, clutching the sword, trembled violently.
