In this chapter, we learn that the white tiger has been fulfilling his mission of ridding the world of evil ever since he was created by the gods. He has been alienated from the other gods, but that day, when the stray phoenix egg lands on his world, he feels a power he has never seen before. He realizes that this power is beyond the boundaries of the rules, but he is ashamed of himself for breaking the rules. He tells us that everything in the world is a mistake, and that his birth is the result of a crack in the wall. He says that the mountain is an immortal, and the yellow dragon is a tool that he uses to track the progress of the human race. The yellow dragon and the mountain are following a mortal man into the city. The city has been enclosed in the demonmiasma of the underworld. The time has been frozen in the mortal world, so no one in the city will grow old. The white tiger says that he will take care of the humans in the South in his place.
