Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 710: The knowledge of a past



Kyle opened the door to his room upon hearing a knock, and amusement flickered in his eyes at the sight of the twins, whose expressions fell when they saw him. Bia settled on his

shoulder with a yawn and cast a sidelong glance at the twins.

-"What? Did you two think we had left this planet or something?"

Logan and Mason flinched at her words. Naturally, the duo believed that Kyle and Bia had left after hearing about the commotion caused by the two the previous night.

The twins had actually gone to the elders seeking help and justice after leaving last night because the human and the phoenix were treating them like servants. However, instead of offering assistance, the elders instructed them to do whatever Kyle and Bia asked and to stay with the duo for as long as they remained on the planet!

Mason cleared his throat. Now that the twins had accepted their fate, it was wiser to perform their duties properly instead of risking punishment from the elders by angering Kyle and Bia.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That's not the case. We're here just as you both requested. Where would you like to go? Do you want to explore the city?"

Kyle hummed, a bit surprised when he noticed that the two were quite serious. He thought for a moment; he didn't particularly want to see the city. Then...

"How about we go to the mission hall you two mentioned yesterday? I want to check out that place."

Logan blinked at him, surprised that the nature's favorite wanted to see the mission hall. It was a place reserved solely for the students of the elders. However, before he could refuse Kyle, Mason agreed with the human and told him to just follow them.

He glanced at his twin in confusion, but then Mason explained that since the elders had told them to do whatever the human wanted, they probably wouldn't mind.

Kyle watched the duo bicker. He could see they had finally started to feel comfortable around him. He followed them as the twin demi-humans began to walk.

Together, they left the hotel where he was staying and soon started to stroll through the streets of the city.

While walking, Kyle glanced at the bright morning sky above him. It was beautiful, crystal clear, and devoid of darkness. His gaze flickered with a hint of indifference as he recalled what he had seen the previous night after finishing his conversation with Yue through the

communication crystal.

It was the knowledge of a past so tragic, yet wholly unrelated to him, encased in a small, white orb. He wondered what the dragon hoped to achieve by giving such knowledge to him.

'Does the dragon want me to save the people trapped in the realm created by Azazeal? But are those people even alive, considering it has been over ten thousand years since they were trapped?'

Kyle had witnessed the catastrophic moment when this planet first plunged into the depths of hell, where dark flames roared and danced, illuminating the entire universe in a terrifying blaze after he absorbed the orb given to him by the dragon.

It was the time when Azazeal finally emerged from the lost treasure tomb, the very place where he had been betrayed by the two beings he believed were proof that not everyone in the world was evil. The man was enveloped in darkness, and his eyes were entirely consumed by it.

He went on a massacre, a bloodbath, mercilessly slaughtering every single person connected to Lilith and Nathaniel. The air was thick with the stench of smoke and ash as he carved a path of destruction. Yet, the two he longed to kill the most remained just out of his reach.

Nathaniel had entered the Celestial Realm with the aid of the Celestial bones he had extracted from Azazeal's body.

That man even sealed the Celestial Realm to ensure that no one could ever pursue him into that ethereal place.

As for the ice enchantress, she died due to regret and because the ice bloodline within her showed her the bleak future that awaited her and all her descendants.

Nevertheless, she left behind a lot of things; she even scattered her ice bloodline so that her relatives and descendants would at least have a chance to fight back.

Upon learning this, Azazeal's bloodlust knew no bounds, for he was left with the haunting realization that he had even been denied the closure of killing the two people he so desperately sought.

The universe trembled under the weight of his anguish, and the dark flames flickered with memories of a past he knew he would never be able to forget, unlike before.

When he was eliminating everyone connected to Lilith and Nathaniel, many tried to stop him, but Azazeal plunged into a relentless killing spree, ending all those who stood in his way, having finally completely lost all his emotions.

His sole desire was to force open the realm meant for the dead in this universe and the Celestial realm, which would enable him to kill the two individuals he once considered friends with his own hands. Many began to follow him, not because he had compelled them, but simply because they all craved the strength he could offer them.

The demon, dark, and Nightkin—these three races were the first to kneel before Azazeal after the man began ruling over dark energy, followed by countless powerful individuals from other races who started betraying their own kind merely to gain his trust.

However, as the universe teetered on the brink of collapse due to his actions, all the powerful individuals united to confront him. Even the Universe's Will itself decided to intervene to oppose him.

There were no Celestials present in the universe, as anyone who reached that rank had to leave for the Celestial realm to avoid disturbing the natural order. They could not seek help from the Celestials either, since the Celestial realm was sealed off.

Thus, they understood they had to stop Azazeal themselves before they all faced their demise at his hands.

Only to solemnly realize that the dark energy that had merged with Azazeal had made him too strong to handle. In the end, they all decided to sacrifice their lifespans in a desperate attempt to end him.

But just when they believed they had triumphed, Azazeal compelled the very nature around him to obey his command.

He tapped into countless natural laws simultaneously-a feat that could end even the Celestials—and trapped all those who were fighting against him in a realm, just as they were about to bring him down.

However, after the people fighting Azazeal disappeared, he too vanished. Many believe he sustained injuries, but no one knew the true reason behind his disappearance. Nonetheless, Azazeal left behind the five shadow generals and countless followers who waged war against the other races at the place where he fought his last battle.

Kyle hummed as he glanced ahead at the twin demi-humans walking before him.

'The people trapped by Azazeal in the second realm; they should be considered the ancestors of this universe, right? I am sure they are probably dead in that realm, or maybe they're still alive, but can they even fight against the dark side now? They are not related to me. If I ever stumble upon that realm, I will see what I can do, I suppose.'

He had examined everything in the orb the dragon gave him. However, the knowledge contained within it was lacking, since there was no mention of the celestial spirits or the seals of the realm of the dead that the dark side was trying to break.

'From all the knowledge, it seems that Azazeal wants to destroy this universe, but no one ever considered the fact that if he truly wanted to, he could have already done so with his strength

alone.'

He wondered if Azazeal had successfully achieved what he wanted in the past; would they have ever met?

"Maybe not... since who knows if he would even remain in this universe after achieving his goal of getting to the two individuals he wants to eliminate so badly." Hearing Kyle's whisper, the twins glanced back at him, but he simply stared at them, prompting them to redirect their attention forward. Before long, they stood before a large building encircled by towering walls.

Kyle noticed the numerous individuals entering and exiting the structure, each dressed in uniforms similar to the twins. For some reason, his gaze remained fixed on them, drawing strange looks in return.

Bia cleared her throat to redirect his attention after sensing the twins' worry.

-"Hey, stop staring. You are attracting too much attention to us."

Kyle opened his mouth but then closed it again with a perplexed look. It felt as if he had

walked in a similar place before, where everyone wore matching uniforms.

The moment he thought that, his mind flashed with an old, forgotten memory.

He saw the young figures of Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia walking before him. That's why, he let

out a surprised sound.

"Ah... the Royal Academy, was it?"

Bia's eyes widened slightly at his words.

-"What? How do you remember that place? Did Yue tell you about it as well? But no... she

wasn't in the Academy with you!"

Kyle rubbed his chin. Usually, he struggled to remember anything about his past, even when

he forced himself to think. However, now, unexpectedly, he recalled something, and it happened when he was not even trying to remember.

"No, she didn't. I just remember a few things-not much. I think the memory was triggered

when I saw something similar."

He paused for a moment.

"But why was I always walking behind Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia? That doesn't feel right for

some reason."

Bia's eyebrows twitched at his words. She so badly wanted to tell him just how much of an

introvert he had been in the past. Even Nine, his first friend at the Academy, was the one who

approached him first.

Who knows if he would have ever made friends if Nine hadn't taken that step?

Suddenly, Bia's eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint. She can make fun of him, especially since he had no recollection of what had happened at the Academy! All he knew was what others had told him!

-"Oho, isn't it because you were just a weakling back then? That's why you always walked behind them. They were the talk of the Royal Academy in the past!"

-"Carcel was a prince! Mia and Lara were the daughters of nobles! And Alec? He was the only

person in the Academy after me who possessed (SSS)-rank talent! You were merely a speck of

dust at that time-!"

Bia swallowed her next words when she sensed a déjà vu. She let out a dry laugh and hurriedly

left Kyle's shoulder. As the crimson bird soared across the sky, Kyle stared at her with narrowed eyes, a flicker of disbelief flashing in his gaze.

'Was I really that weak in the past? No, that can't be possible... I'm sure.'
