Chapter 10 - *From the Past: Part Five*

*Celestial Doom*

(Celestial Wasteland: Giant Graveyard)

As the battle raged on in the celestial wasteland, the celestial armies were being annihilated, "Men fall back!", shouted the Celestial General Seo Hyun. As the armies started to fall back, the giant army started to attack more ruthlessly, advancing more inward.

"", shouted General Seo Chae Yeon, a female clad in silver armor, ascending into the air, spinning and endlessly shooting mini-tiger energy bombs at the approaching giant army. As she tried to stop their advancement, her husband looked on in worry, "Be careful", said Seo Hyun worried.

As he was looking at her out of nowhere, a huge giant came and attacked him, sending him flying back. As he was tumbling backward, he used his energy to forcefully stop himself, "Wait, you are…", said Seo Hyun as he looked up. It was one of the giant generals (Grimoire) that was depicted in the tapestry of the Celestial Hall of Heaven, "I remembered your face", said Seo Hyun and charged forward.

At the frontline of the battle, the Celestial father and the man he called Ke'er were still in a standstill, "This endless barrage of attacks is quite calculated, it seems they take time to recharge from one hand to the other", said the Celestial father to himself. He then proceeds to cultivate a small amount of his energy in his palm and thrust it forward, causing their energies to clash, creating a massive backlash, sending both tumbling backward.

Ke'er smashed into a huge rock and the Celestial father landed firmly on his feet killing a giant in the process, "Even if we fall here today you will still not succeed because he is still alive", said the Celestial father as he walked closer, "I have a plan for that to", said Ke'er as he got up from the rabble of rocks he was under. "Even so, you have to kill him to succeed, but even that is impossible", said the Celestial father.

"I will succeed even if it means killing him", said Ke'er as he cultivated a huge amount of energy and sent it hurling towards the celestial father.

As the energy hurled toward the Celestial father, he created a barrier to block it, "You know that won't be enough", said Ke'er as the Celestial father struggled to keep the barrier up.

As the struggle of the Celestials continued. A flash of piercing blue lighting struck in the middle of Ke'er and the Celestial father's clashing energy blast and barrier, causing a wave of dust and jolts of lightning to sweep across the battle between the two. "I suggest you stop this useless fighting now, Ke'er", said the man who appeared out of the bolt of lightning with shining armor, Zhi'an.

"The Crown Prince of the Eternal realm…", said Ke'er worried but rather pleased, "where is the Eternal Emperor?", asked Ke'er to himself as he looked around. He had a look of worry on his face, knowing that this arrival would be difficult to challenge.

Suddenly, a streaming, cracking sound pierced through the air. As massive beams of light appeared out of the sky, which hit the ground with a soft impact, and out of them came four eternal legions that decided to join. "Only four", said the Celestial father, unsure.

"Yes, the other Eldar decided not to interfere", said Zhi'an, unconcerned. "Very well", said the Celestial father, unsatisfied. "So, are you deciding to stop and surrender?", asked Zhi'an domineeringly, "You Eternals are always so overbearing, acting like you own everything in creation and command everyone in it", said Ke'er, disappointed with an expression of irritation, looking straight into Zhi'an's eyes.

"Of course, we do because we are…",

Said a voice, out of nowhere, Zhu'an appeared out of a wave of red flaming fire that burnt through every giant army soldier that approached him as he walked through them. When he finally reaches them, he stops, and the red fire slowly disappears, "Because we are Supreme", said Zhu'an, domineering and looking down on Ke'er, who started to feel fear quickly seep into his skin into the being of his soul.

{Eternal Realm}

"Report!", shouted a soldier as he rushed into Arceus' office. "Speak", said Arceus calmly.

"My lord, the Phoenix clan has arrived", said the man, excited, and Arceus, excited by hearing the news, flashed out. At the landing barracks for the warships, the city guard helped the Phoenix clan to get off the ship,

"This way ma'am",

"Right here sir",

"Take him to the medical core and tell them to come here to".

As they continued, Arceus arrived and everyone bowed to him,

"Greetings, Lord Arceus", and he told them to rise.

They continued their work, and he walked around helping people to move and looking around. Then he saw Bai Xuan Yu carrying his sister and walking out with his brother,

"Xuanyu!", shouted Arceus and ran to him.

Bai Xuan Yu heard him and saw him running and put his sister down and gripped Arceus in his arms and hugged him, "Are you okay? Where are father and mother?", asked Arceus, concerned.

A sense of failure flowed over Xuanyu's face. Arceus looked at Rya and Ryo, but they lowered their heads and looked down. Arceus then started to tear up, knowing the answer.

"They didn't make it", said Xuanyu with a look of despair. Arceus then hugged him again with tears in his eyes. Arceus then turned to the children, "This will be your new home for now. I hope you will like it", and he hugged them. He then turned to one of his palace maids, "Take them to rest, make sure to give them what they want and need", ordered Arceus.

"Brother-in-law", called Xuanyu's little sister, and Arceus turned to her, "Thank you", said she softly to him and left. Which made Arceus smile, but Xuanyu showed no expression.

"Listen to my order, make sure all members of the Phoenix clan are taken care of until the emperor arrives", ordered Arceus and flashed off with Xuanyu.

(Soaring Eternal Palace)

"Lord Xu Fung, the Phoenix clan has arrived", said his Commander-General, Kong Sikong. "Very well, let's go", said Xu Fung, and they flash off.

(Starlight Terrace)

"Do you have it with you?" asked Arceus curiously.

Xuanyu then proceeded to open his palm, and a small but powerful light shone, "The Eternal Flame", said Arceus.

"Yes, or what's left of it, but even so it remains powerful regardless of size or amount", explained Xuanyu. "What will you do with it?" asked Arceus. "It will have to be given to them", replied Xuanyu, and Arceus immediately knew who he was referring to and sighed.

"After all, Shangyu is betrothed to any of their daughters", said Xuanyu expressionlessly. Arceus nodded in agreement, and Xuanyu smiled at him, kissing him on the forehead before flashing away

As Xuanyu flashed off, Arceus looked on, although Xuanyu didn't say or show much; Arceus could feel his sadness and sorrow, but what he had to do meant more than his own feelings and problems. 

"Damn, this Heart Bound", said Arceus, grabbing his chest near his heart. As he teared up once again, felt a painful sting of sorrow in his heart that wasn't his, but he could feel it.

At the Bifrost, Bai Xuan Yu arrived.

"Greeting, My Lord", said Song Yu, an elderly looking man with a soft, gentle face.

Xuanyu then asked the gatekeepers to teleport him to the Heavenly realm.

With things unraveling and mysteries deepening, in the Celestial Realm, the battle still rages on.

{Celestial Wasteland}

The Eternal army started fighting the giants, and the battle became a bloodbath, "My god", said Seo Chae Yeon as she looked around, and all she saw were the dead bodies of her men and the blood that filled the ground and ran like rivers across the battlefield. The Celestial army was gone. There were only a few small groups left that still stood, the Eternal legions were still fighting everywhere.

"General, the Celestial father has ordered you to aid him at the frontline", said a celestial soldier delivering the message. "Ohk", responded Chae Yeon, sighing in failure and she flashed off.

At the frontline, the main battle was taking place, "We will not let you succeed", said Zhi'an as he created a lightning arrow and threw it at Ke'er. He then dodged the attack, creating a portal to absorb the attack, and then the portal appeared behind Zhi'an, who was shocked, and the arrow shot him in the side, and he fell.

"There is nothing worse than being hit by your own attack", said Ke'er as Zhi'an fell, "Your Highness!", shouted Shuijing, the Commander-General of the fifth Eldar, flashing to catch him. 

He then appeared behind the Celestial father, who was distracted by the fight with a giant, "Shit", said he as he saw Ke'er behind him, and he could not dodge him, and Ke'er stabbed the Celestial father in the back through the heart. The scene was felt across the battlefield by the remaining Celestial soldiers and Eternal Legions but not seen.

"Jun Hyun!", shouted Zhu'an, seeing the scene. As he was falling, Hyun looked up and smiled, "I'm coming, I hope he will forgive me, I'm coming", said he, smiling, and he dissipated into a thin air of energy.

The fight was so tense that no one saw or witnessed the death of the Celestial father. Everyone was fighting to survive. As everyone around him was distracted by the Celestial Father's death, Ke'er went to the center of the array. Zhi'an and others who saw him followed, but many were stopped by giants. When he got there, he stood in the middle of the array and cultivated his core into the array, "Wait, my lord his cultivating his core into the array. If he does that, then the Celestial realm", said Chae Yeon, terrified.

"", said Zhu'an creating a wave of raging fire and shooting it towards Ke'er but the blast was intercepted and blocked by the other mysterious man, "Wait, what", said Zhi'an surprised as the man's clothes were burned off they could see his face, "That's Yu Guang", said Chae Yeon shocked as he was burned alive by the emperor's fire, disintegrating into dust. Giving Ke'er enough time finish their plan, but Ke'er seeing him die, Ke'er was angered, "You will all pay for that!", shouted he as it echoed across the battlefield.

"Evacuated everyone now, General", ordered Zhu'an sternly, "But Your majesty, the common people, and the Crown prince", said she worried, "We cannot save everyone", said Zhu'an, and ordered Song Yu to teleport everyone, including Celestial soldiers, out.

As she was flying above, she saw her husband sitting on a rock, but he was injured, "What are you doing here, they are evacuating everyone", said she, "I have a little injury go get our son, I'll see you there", said he firmly, looking into her eyes, "No, I have to get you treated", said Chae Yeon as she tried to pick him, "My love, go, I'll meet you there", said he softly and tears started to flow in both their eyes for they knew what the end would be.

"No, I don't want to leave you", said she with a cracking voice and tearful eyes. He then proceeded to whisper something into her ear, and her facial expression changed, causing her to tear up more, but she still nodded in agreement. It felt like she knew what he meant. Reluctantly, she then flashed off with tears in her eyes.

{Celestial Palace}

The Crown prince standing on the terrace could sense the trembling realm, "So father", said he sulking and teared up, "Your highness we must evacuate", said the his eunuch concerned, "Yes you should take him out of here to safety and to General Seo", said he sternly and the eunuch knew what he thought and nodded his head and went.

"So, this is the end", said he looking up into the glittering sky that was turning dark and void.

"Be safe"

{Celestial Wasteland}

Everyone was being evacuated, "Where is Chae Yeon?", asked Zhi'an, concerned. "She went to look for her General Hyun and get her son", said a Celestial Soldier, who had just arrived. "Good Song Yu, did you hear that?", asked he,

"Yes", replied Song Yu telepathically, and Song Yu started teleporting people out.

Chae Yeon arrived at the capital, and all she saw were people running in despair and buildings burning. She flashed to her manor and went to get her son, who was sitting and playing with his toys, "Come, my boy, everyone in the manor follows me", said she, commanding. As she went outside, she was confronted by the royal eunuch, who had a little boy on his arms, "My lady, the Crown prince ordered me to give him to you", said the eunuch sadly. "So that is what he has decided", said she unhappily, to which she got no reply.

"Are you coming with?" asked Chae Yeon, looking at the eunuch, and he shook his head.

She took the boy and held him by his hand, and the eunuch went, "Won't he stay with us, my lady?", asked her maid, "No". As they flashed off, the eunuch and the people around him looked on.

"Are you ready?", asked Song Yu telepathically to Chae Yeon, who was standing in an open stretch of road in the Capital, and she said (Yes), and they were teleported.

 As all those who were supposed to be teleported were all gone, millions of people were still left behind as the realm became unstable. It ripped apart the very core of the realm, which was a sphere-like megastructure, and it started to crumble and crack.

With the realm slowly ripping apart, Hyun flashed to a small house on the outskirts of the Capital, and he looked at it and proceeded to walk inside.

"Ahhh, still the same", said he as he sat down on the old, dusty bed, surrounded by cobwebs. As he was sitting quietly, a sudden noise startled him, and inside came Chae Yeon, who ran up to him. 

"Why are you here? You should have gone with them", said Hyun, with shocked but not surprised, for he knew her too well. Chae Yeon then proceeded to sit next to him.

"How can I leave you behind now?", said she, taking his hand in hers and rubbing it softly. Hyun smiled softly as he felt the warmth of her love and caring nature. For that one moment in his eyes, she glowed, more than had ever glowed to him, and then he knew why he chose her. He then proceeded to hug her, and together they tear up. "I will always love, even in death", said Hyun in her ear.

"I know"

"Always"

It was not long before the realm exploded, and every living thing was consumed by it. 

The Celestial realm had fallen.
