### Summary
This chapter concludes the historical flashback detailing the tragic origin of Hyo-un's past incarnation. The villagers' cruel deception, where they feigned kindness only to prepare the unsuspecting child as a human sacrifice, reaches its climax. Driven to despair by their ultimate betrayal, the young Hyo-un attempts suicide. In an act of karmic retribution that readers overwhelmingly see as deserved, his immense draconic power seemingly manifests, causing the villagers to "poof" out of existence. This devastating event solidifies the root of the modern-day Hyo-un's misanthropy and deep-seated trauma. The flashback culminates with a pivotal encounter: Taehyuk's past incarnation arrives and finds the desolate, traumatized child. This meeting is framed as the foundational moment of their fated relationship, establishing Taehyuk as the first source of genuine kindness in the young dragon's life and revealing them to be soulmates across time. The chapter's events provide a powerful context for Hyo-un's present-day fear of abandonment and his profound connection to Taehyuk.
