In this chapter, we learn that the guards of the divine city are "great perfection true gods" . In other words, they are the most important gods in the world. We learn that Huo and guard Lin were both killed in the battle, and that they have been searching for Huo for months. Huo is the savior of the family, and Lin is the most gifted "cultivator" in the whole of the island. He compares Lin to his elder brother, who is a higher-ranking god than Huo. He also compares Lin's cultivation to that of the elder brother's. He says that they are "bossing people around like if they were someone important." Huo asks if he has spoken with Lin since he returned, and he says that he has barely spoken with him since he got back. He tells Huo that he and Lin wanted to bring back the tablet, but they were forbidden to use fire to illuminate their surroundings. They hid in a hidden chamber, and when they found a way out, they hid for a few days. They were both "higher ranked true gods," and Huo joined them on their journey.
