Trapped in deep water, Tianming loses consciousness. He finds himself in a palace-like place, where a parrot yells "you're back" and his jade becomes complete. He recalls everything he has experienced: Gao Yue's story, his dream about finding his father, the assassins and villains, Ge Nie, the Mohists. He struggles in his mind and desperately wants to become strong to protect those he loves. He hears a woman's voice saying "Don't be afraid, my child. Be strong."
天明被机关玄武缠住不得脱身，颈上的阴阳咒印起了反应，天明挣扎着陷入了昏迷。天明在梦境中看到了过去所经历的事情，他梦到月儿为他讲述燕国的故事，梦到他和聂大叔一起启程踏上荆棘之途，盖聂大战三百秦兵，以及之后与少羽等人的相遇。昏迷中的天明感到呼吸痛苦，过去的回忆让他发现了自己的渺小，这段漫长的旅途就像一场噩梦。
