Chapter 1 - Back to the Great Chaos.

Fine, it's longer a secret. There's a place called hell, it's the opposite of the sky immortals what you know as angels in heaven.

But you know what's still a secret, it's the hell you think you know.

Nah! Hell's not hot. It's true there's no day here but there's no pitch night darkness. It's always night here where the sky is decorated with constellations of stars and green lighted canvases.

Shocking right? And contrary to what you've been taught, heaven is not as beautiful as you think.

Heaven has streets paved with gold, bridges built from stars, and structures suspended in clouds. It has the glamour of royalty and the splendor of grace but.... it lacks the beauty of freedom.

The sky immortals live by strict rules unlike we the fallen immortals in the realm of hell. In hell, there are houses, beautiful houses. We do not live in caves, dirts or structures built from skeletons. Come on, we're not scary.

Back to what I was saying, heaven and the sky immortals lack the beauty of freedom. They have a pattern of walking, greeting and eating. They do not eat food, they survive on thin air to strengthen their cultivation. That's probably why they're stronger in casting spells than we in hell.

And also, there exists corruption in heaven even though we're labelled evil and dirty by both humans and sky immortals. Among the many things sky immortals are forbidden from doing, one of them is the inability to fall in love with anyone outside the heavenly realm.

It sounds easy though because the heavenly realm is littered with damsels whose beauty are only second to the fox clan in the demon realm otherwise known as hell. Their beauty is so intoxicating that low ranked fallen and sky immortals are repeatedly bewitched when they come in contact with high ranked female sky immortals.

For some reason, even hell which prides in its freedom also abides by this rule. We're forbidden from falling in love with them too.

For some reason, even hell which prides in its freedom also abides by this rule. We're forbidden from falling in love with them too.

And there's a punishment for those who fall in love with people from the sky realm or the demon realm and its different depending on the rank of the people involved.

For example if a lowly ranked sky immortal falls in love with lowly ranked demon, they'll be stripped off their powers and sent to separate dungeons in the deepest part of hell, a place we call hades. In conclusion, their punishment is being separated from each other for life and wallowing in darkness for a long time before they're released as humans into the earth forgetting their past life as immortals.

What if a highly ranked sky immortal falls in love with a highly ranked demon? According to history, this could be seen as a violation of the order of heaven and earth and the people involved must be destroyed together with their primordial spirit so they they'd be no chance for them to reincarnate.

Their whole family and clan members will also be exterminated too, it's gruesome.

Right! I almost forgot. Before they're destroyed together with their primordial spirit be it a demon or a sky immortal, they pass through the cold and fire spell.

It's like a mystical sword that is made to enter into their bodies and makes them feel severe heat like hot iron searing their skin into peels and also feel biting heart wrenching cold at the same time. This goes on for a maximum of 200 years before they and their families are complete annihilated.

You might be wondering why the punishment for highly ranked immortals from the sky and the realm of hell falling in love with each other is very severe and too gruesome.

Why are sky immortals and the demons not allowed to fall in love?

To satisfy our curiousity, let's go back to a time in history called "The Great Chaos."

As I said, we'll need to go to the time of the great chaos to understand why love between demons and immortals is forbidden.

About forty thousand years ago, there existed a clan, a league of gods and a league of devils. The hierarchy of immortals those days were from the highest clan which was the god clan to the sky Immortals and then to the demon clan.

The lowest and the most pitiable clan was the devil clan. The strongest and most powerful clan of those days were the god clan, the league of gods. They were invicible and indestructible, they ruled the four realms with an iron fist - (gods, sky immortals, demons and devils). Many of the things they did were wrong but because they wielded unfathomable strength and accuracy of spells, no one could challenge or dare them.

But there was a clan that had the potential of rivaling the league of gods and even subduing them.

Guess who they were? They were the devil clan. This was the reason the god clan suppressed them and subjected them to a fate worse than death. They were made to live in the deepest of abysses called "screams of the appolos."

There was no night or day in this abyss and all of this was because of a legend in books which said the devil clan had the potential of ruling the four realms and annihilating the all powerful god realm.

The gods were afraid! They were afraid of the power of devils even though this was just a speculation from a book, and so they announced that if for any reason any realm, any creature and any existential being were to associate with anyone and anything from the devils, they and their clan would be enemies of the god realm and will be totally wiped out.

The god clan claimed the devils were born from the mistake of the eternal creator, the first God during the creation of the four realms.

So with this theory, they insisted no realm should have anything to do with the devils and they should be subjected to shame and pain in the deepest abyss because that was the will of the eternal creator when he discovered the mistake he had made.

Furthermore, a rule was made by the god realm to ban all devils from learning any form of spells and if any were to be found practicing spells, they should be put to death instantly.

The only devil who knew spells was a fugitive in hiding from the four realms and so no one knew if he was still alive. Legend have it that his mastery of spells was on par with the empyrean of the god realm and this made them more fearful and anxious which made them impose heavier penalties and punishments on devils just because they were devils.

The devils and their leader, yen shui who was a scholar skilled in everything books agreed with the heavenly rules to save his clan from complete annihilation. He and the empyrean of the god realm were the only beings in the whole four realms who knew exactly why they were treated the way they were treated, he knew it was the fear the empyrean had of their powers that caused the whole turmoil.

This went on for centuries with the devils living lives less than beasts and animals.

Everyone in the four realms had a preset bias and judgement towards them because the god realm said they were evil but one day, a young devil somehow escaped from the abyss. He escaped with his life in his teeth and was seriously injured and battered. Unfortunately, his severe injuries couldn't allow him cling to the life he desperately struggled for. He passed out right inside of the barrier of the demon realm and this meant instant death if any one were to find out he broke the barrier somehow and moreso, if anyone discovered he was a devil escaped from the abyss.

But as fate would have it, the first person to set eyes on him was an old demon who was a local fisher man in the suburbs of the demon realm. Not being able to leave him to die there even though he found out he was a devil, he took the young boy in and nursed him till he recovered fully.

After full recovery, the old man demanded that the boy should leave at once. Although he helped the boy out of pity, it didn't change the fact he was a devil and he didn't want to invite trouble to himself and the demon realm.

He helped the boy find a safe passage out of the demon realm allowing him to find his path from there. Back at the abyss where the young devil escaped from was a story that had the potential of destroying the four realms, this was where the story of the great chaos started from in sparks that soon turned to a roaring raging fire.
