In this chapter, the reader is introduced to the Emperor, who has lived for over a thousand years. He has conquered the entire world, but his efforts have been unsuccessful. He is said to have been "immortal and insanely cruel" . The Emperor's palace sits on an icy cliff, surrounded by a snowstorm. A few brave souls manage to open the gate. Inside, the palace is quiet. There is a skeleton on the ruins, but it is no longer important to him. Heiwu finishes the chapter and asks the reader to leave him alone.
