(Eternal Capital)
As the children returned home through the Bifrost, the Imperial Guard was waiting to escort them to the Eldar chamber. "Good, we are back unnoticed," said Zhinu. "Your highnesses, by order of the Eternal Emperor Zhi'an, we are to escort you back to the Eldar chamber," said the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Shangjian. "Come on, we're friends," said Zhinu, trying to use their friendship as a way to escape. "Sorry, this comes directly from your father. If I disobey, I will be executed for disobeying the emperor," said Shangjian.
Zhinu then tried to escape by flying away, but Shangjian used a divine rope to bind him. "What is this…" said Zhinu, surprised. "It was given to me by your mother," said Shangjian, smiling. "Let's just obey and go," said Xueying calmly. "Great, let's go," said Shangjian as they flashed away.
{Demon Realm}
Back at the Fallen Palace, the demon king summoned his daughter. "Greetings, Father," she said as she bowed. "Rise, my child," said the demon king happily.
"Why have you summoned me?" she asked curiously.
"Look at you trying to fish—you're being summoned to Esnor to take part in the Divine Martial Tournament," said the king excitedly.
She was so happy that she immediately went to pack her clothes without talking to her father.
"What a weird girl," said the king with a smile as she ran off.
Before she was about to leave, she remembered something and quickly left for her room because she had forgotten something. When she got there, she took the necklace from her makeup stand and put it around her neck. It belonged to her mother.
As she was walking out, she heard something move at the back of her dress cardboard, "What was that?" she said with a nervous look and went towards it slowly. As she approached, she saw that it was her cat pet that had a fin-like tail and piercing blue cat eyes. She picked it up, "I will take you with me", she said happily and went off.
{Eternal Realm}
Back at the Eternal City, the children were brought before the Eldar and their parents.
"Greetings, Father and Mother", said Zhinu, bowing. "Greetings, Huangdi, Huanghou, and Father", said Xinyu and Xueying together.
"How do you explain yourselves being in the demon realm?", asked Zhi'an calmly. "Uncle, we were just curious about what an Enlin was", answered Xueying, uncertain and trying not to hide anything.
"You be quiet", said Xu Fung to Xueying, and she lowered her head. "Father, what is the big deal? We were just exploring the demon realm, and no one got hurt", said Zhinu confidently.
"Do you know why we were so on edge about the Enlin", asked Arceus looking at Zhinu and the children shook their heads, "Very well then its time you learned why something like the Enlin appearing is concerning", said Arceus suspiciously turning his attention to Xinyu, "We just have to wait a little they are about to arrive", said he calmly looking at Thon.
At the Bifrost, the young martial artists in the tournament were arriving.
"Wow, it is just as I was told, the Eternal Capital of Esnor", said Mu Yuan, the second prince of the Heavenly realm.
"So this is the home of the Eldar and the strongest Eternals", said Gu Nan, a young martial artist who is a descendant of the Celestial realm.
"This is not the home of all the Eldar; some of them have their kingdoms that they rule over", said Ying Pu, a small boy wearing glass from one of the lower divine realms.
"No one asked for a history lesson, weirdo", joked Gu Nan, and Ying Pu lowered his head.
"One must not pick on someone because of their intellect", said Mu Xuan, a tall young man wearing a white and gold hanfu, the Crown Prince of the Heavenly realm. "Greetings, Your Highness", said everyone, bowing to him.
As everyone was paying attention to Mu Xuan, the Bifrost opened, and out came the Demon Princess.
"What is she doing here?", asked Chong Yi, the Princess Royal of the Heavenly realm. "Greetings everybody", said Xi Yuan, but no one answered back. "Why would they allow a demon to participate?", asked Ling Yi, a noble immortal martial artist lady.
"Your right demons are below us divine beings this is just a disgrace", said Chong Yi prideful staring at Xi Yuan, "Yi'er", said Mu Xuan trying to get her stop, "No elder brother the demons are responsible for the death of older sister", said she in enraged, "Yi'er not here this is the Eternal realm", said Mu Yuan softly, "I don't care if this is the Eternal realm she is the Demon princess and I will have to get revenge for elder sister", said Chong Yi.
She then proceeded to attack Xi Yuan, and she (Xi Yuan) created a barrier to defend against Chong Yi's attack. As they were fighting, a figure flashed in out of nowhere and, with a wave of a hand, sent a wave of energy to break up the fight.
"Stop, no fighting is allowed near the Bifrost, and we do not discriminate against other beings here. This is the Eternal realm, not the Heavenly realm", said Song Chu'an.
"How dare you stop me? do you know who I am?" she said, enraged and arrogant.
"And why can't he stop you?", asked Qing Tian (Eternal Empress), who was watching from a distance and teleported to the Bifrost. "The Eternal Empress", said Ying Pu, surprised with a soft smile on his face.
"Greetings, Your Majesty", said everyone kneeling, "Rise", said she, and everyone stood up.
"Here in the Eternal realm demons and eternals are equal and I will give all of you a fair warning before you meet the Eldar they loathed arrogance we all have lost someone in war but you don't see us going around seeking revenge I hope you teach your sister in the future Mu Xuan", said Qing Tian very sternly looking at Chong Yi.
"Yes, Your Majesty", answered Mu Xuan, lowering his head.
"Good, let's go", she said, and everyone flashed off.
"Hhm", said Chong Yi as she flew off, looking at Xi Yuan.
Back at the palace, the combatants arrived with the empress, and they stood in front of the Eldar and the emperor in the middle of the Chamber. Xi Yuan looked around to see if she saw Zhinu and the others, and she did; they were standing in rows opposite each other on both sides of the emperor looking down on them. "Hi", she said softly and waved secretly to them, and they waved back secretly. Chong Yi looked up at the thrones and saw Zhinu standing there and smiling.
"Well, now shall we begin?" said Xu Fung, looking at Zhi'an.
"Greetings, everyone, and welcome to Esnor", said Zhi'an heartwarmingly, and everyone kneeled to thank him. "Thank you, Your Majesty", said all the martial artists.
"Rise," said he, and smiled.
"Good now I can finally begin with me story", said Arceus joyfully, "Hold on we must first tell them why they are here", interrupted Thon looking at Arceus, "My dear Thon they probably already know why they are here for the Divine Martial Tournament that is held every hundred thousand years and this time it is being hosted by the Eternal realm", said Arceus as he looked over the combatants from his throne, "And another interesting fact is for the first time in eons we have a demon representing the demon realm the beloved daughter of the Demon king the demon princess Xi Yuan", said he with smile while looking at her.
"Wait, what does lord Arceus mean by eons?" whispered a few of the combatants.
"Well, it seems you appeared to be lost. Let me help you, you see eons ago the demons used to be part of the divinities, there used to be Four Great Divine realms, Celestial, Eternal, Heavenly, and Demon realms, but after the demons fell into darkness, there remained three", explained Arceus quickly.
"Wait, Uncle, what do you mean by part of the divinities and fell?", asked Zhinu curiously, stepping forward.
"This is where my story comes in", said Arceus happily.
"Here we go", said Bor sarcastically.
"Well, you see, the demons used to be a divine realm that was before the war", said Arceus.
"War?", asked Ying Pu.
"The 'Titanomachy' the war of the Titans, before the Primes created the divinities the titans roamed creation making it their domain but they were violent beings fighting with each other killing all the beings that were created by the Primes, so the Primes decided to create us the Divine being, beings more powerful than before strong enough to ascend into godhood the divine beings were then scattered across creation to purify what the titans had destroyed or polluted the divine beings brought in good and light into creation allowing for other divinities to evolve, soon the lower divine started to praise and worship the four most powerful divine races, Eternal, Celestial, Heavenly and Demon which allowed for some of these divine to ascend into godhood and then they had to create a realm to house the new gods for they were too powerful to live with other divine so they created the God Realm home of the gods, the primes then give them the power to govern and oversee all other divinities which included the titans when the titans heard of this they were enraged thinking how could the primes chose the gods over the titans and launched an attack on the gods and the divine the titans were powerful beings that led waste to many divine races and divine armies with their soldiers known as Enlin, these creatures killed many divine soldiers including Eldar, High immortals, Celestial deity's and Asura demons. The Titans were physically powerful, able to take on and defeat primordial gods. Many of the primordial gods fell in the war alongside many Primes. Just when the gods thought they had the upper hand something unexpected happen for some reason the demons became resentful and evil turning against the gods and the divine which turned the tables against the god realm for the titans because of this multiple minor divine races were annihilate and went extinct this forced the primes to act they joined the war with the gods and divines and thus the greatest sin performed by the Primes were committed which led to the downfall of the demons to the lower air and the division between the other three divine races all though the titans fell creation was in chaos and despair. The primes then repaired creation and ordered the gods and divines to govern it and wait for the arrival of the mortal realms, but they would no longer interfere in the affairs of the divine and gods as well as the multiverse", explained Arceus to everyone.
Everyone in the chamber was shocked to know this. "Wait, how come we don't know this?" asked Xueying as she looked at Arceus curiously.
"The reason why you would not know this is because it was scraped from the history books by the previous rulers of the divine realms to ensure that hate towards the demons remained", said the Arceus, acknowledging the mistakes and arrogance of the divine realms.
"Now that has been handled, we can begin the training process and get ready for the tournament", said Xu Fung happily, suddenly shifting the atmosphere and snapping everyone back to the reason they were there.
"We must not forget the upcoming festival, I hope all of you will enjoy it to your heart's content", said the empress gladly, and with everyone confused and shocked by what they heard, the council meeting ended.
