Chapter 15: CHAPTER 15: THE BATTLE OF GODS
"The Jade emperor was the creator of this world—a man who is the supreme ruler of the two worlds i.e. Heaven and Earth. The Emperor has the supreme power to destroy both worlds. The emperor sent a man inside an egg called Pangu. Pangu represented the world that was to form. His roots spread throughout the Earth," said the Grandma.
"Is Pangu this world?" asked one of her grandchildren.
"Yes Pangu became the world, his hands became the landmasses and his legs became water. The universe functioned in such a way that the sun would rise from Pangu's left arm and set on his left arm. His hair became the trees and plants, his wealth became the rain, his veins became the rivers and his heart became the core of the heart," said the grandma.
" Then what did Jade do?", asked her eldest grandson.
" Jade descended to Earth in the form of a man called Jinshi. The pests in Pangu's body became humans. When Jinshi arrived they had reproduced and spread throughout the world. They started to advance, began to make houses, eat, hunt animals and many other activities. Jade also became a dweller in a village and had children with a woman. He named that child Jagan," said the grandma.
"What happened to Jagan?", asked her granddaughter.
"Jagan became the chieftain of the village, the village grew and became a kingdom. Jaga ultimately became a King, he had children called Ja Sango and Ja Heigo. Ja Heigo was the eldest son. Both of them had children. However, Ja Heigo and Sango died while fighting an unknown entity that was too strong and anonymous," said the Grandma.
"Now the problem arises between the two cousins. Who will be the future King? Ja Heigo had 4 sons who are called the Dragon Kings. Ja Sango also had 4 sons called Sida( Sida means the great 4 in Chinese). The war rises between both of them, and not only that Jade makes an open declaration in front of his great-grandchildren that the one who will win this will be not only the King but also my heir, the new emperor of heaven and Earth," said the grandma.
"Jade liked Ja Heigo and therefore one day he appeared before the eldest son Ao Guang and asked if he wanted a victory in the battle or God's support in the battle. Ao Guang replied that he wanted God's support on his side. Therefore Jade was now The Dragon King's ally. Jade gave his powers to all the members of The Dragon Kings," said the Grandma.
" Both Jade and Ao knew that without Jade they couldn't win against Sida. The battle brothers happen. The younger son of the Dragon King fought the younger son of Sida and defeated him. Similarly, the battle was waged according to the position of the sons. And finally, it was the battle between the eldest sons of each group. The battle that would ultimately decide the fate of The Dragon Kings", said the Grandma.
"Sida's eldest son Nezha vs Ao Guang. One day before the battle Jade appeared before Guang and said that he was retrieving his powers from the other siblings and transferring all of them to him. Now Guang had become the strongest being on Earth. Nezha was considered so strong that he could defeat the other siblings of The Dragon Kings who had Jade's power within them," said the Grandma.
" Ao Guang throws his Golden rod, which breaks Nez ha's sword barrier and pierces through his chest. His heart was crushed. Nezha uttered his final words. Nezha said that after a thousand years, we will be reborn and claim the heavens from you. After that battle, Jade appears before him and declares him as his heir. However, Nezha also talks about the pact of Heaven and Earth. The Heaven and Earth never chose the Dragon Kings as their emperor. The chosen ones were Sida," said the Grandma.
" I changed the will of Heaven and Earth temporarily by a pact. The pact was that if the Dragons Kings defeat the Sida after 1000 years then Heaven and Earth will always be theirs. Now it was in their hands. Ao descended to Heaven and his siblings stayed on Earth governing the Kingdom," said the Grandma.
" It has been 1001 years after that and that era has returned, the Gods have reborn. The battle will happen again, and this time the rightful owners will obtain heavens," shouted the Grandma with rage in her eyes.
" Yadav let's run the snowstorm is over," said Sen.
" I think I have seen all of this somewhere," said Yadav.
" You fool if we stay here then that hag will kill and eat us," shouted Sen with fear. Held Yadav's hand dragged him out of the house and ran away.
" Mr. Sen are those stories true?" asks Yadav.
"I have also heard similar storied from my Grandmother and have thought that I might have led a luxury life with rice sake if I was Nezha or Ao but now I am Sen!!! What can I do?!!!", shouts Sen.
"You are Mr. Sen after all," says Yadav and he starts laughing while running through the top of the mountains in the background of a sky filled with stars and shooting stars moving from one place to another. The moon shone bright upon the white snow.
