The chapter opens with a description of the history of the human race, which was created when the gods and demons were separated from each other by space. The humans do not know that there are gods or demons, but they do know that they exist. The chapter ends with a soliloquy in which the narrator explains that the humans were created out of the "gods and demons" who had been separated from one another by space, and that they are the only ones who know about the existence of these things.
