The next morning, the sky lord, Luo zheng, comes to greet the other guests, and he tells them that he is a "fateless one" and that he will not take them to the "sky lords" . He tells the guests that they are free to ascend their own path, but that they need someone to point them in the right direction. He asks the old man's name and tells him that once he has ascended, he will do his best in the "stellar world" and ascend to the upper worlds as soon as he can. The old man tells him not to worry, because he will still be a part of the party in the future
