The immortal tells his master that he is an immortal with "the force of space" and that he came to the "wild and infertile place" with another immortal. The immortal explains that the other immortal was attacked by the devouring spirit, who had lived for 2 million years. They ran away, but the spirit locked her inside her flesh so that it would not affect the other beings in the wild world. She divided her body into seven parts, and each part was sealed throughout the rest of the world. The other immortal says that he can make his master alive again if he can find all seven of the "life covenants" . He says that even though he is immortal with the "force of space," he is powerless because before he was sealed, the spirit had released "many smaller devils" into the world
