This episode recaps main story elements as Yue-er wonders about her identity. A massive hill-top wall and fortress complex is being built by the Qin using forced labor, marking the start of the Great Wall. During construction, a huge statue falls, causing a setback that pushes the deadline back 85 days. The frustrated Yíng Zhèng, Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, demands completion in 30 days. Meanwhile, Ziming and Ziyu remain in Shanghai and witness a procession of 500 Immortal Child Fairies. These individuals were allegedly chosen by the Lord in the Clouds, also known as Yun Zhong Jun, the ship's owner, to board the floating city, Mirage. In another location, Da Tie Chui and Dao Zhi attack a Qin convoy disguised as traveling traders. News of this attack reaches the Emperor's palace, where Li Si alleges the presence of a spy within the empire.
