The Fifth to First Generation of a race were incomparably different from the rest of the race.

They were the Firstborn, the pillars, the strength.

They had ‘Talent’.

They grew stronger at a rate that far surpassed any other generations.

The Sixth Generation and the Generations following them had a drastic fall in their ‘Talent’.

Actually, there were no Sixth Generations of Humans left in Yrniel, all of them had already died a few thousand years ago.

The same was true for the Seventh, Eighth and all the way to Fortieth Generation, all of them had died and their Lifetime has ended one after another.

However, the Fifth Generation Humans and below didn’t die.

That made it clear, the Fifth Generation and below was different from the rest of the race.

They didn’t have any lifetime, they were immortals.

Or that was what the Union Members had thought…

However, clearly, they were wrong.

A Fifth Generation Human died due to old age.

Their lifetime had ended.

What does that mean?

That meant that the Fifth Generations of Humans were not immortals, and most probably, the same goes for the other Four Generations.

They must have a fixed lifetime as well and most probably, they will meet their end soon.

The Pillars of the Human race are about to die.

However, this does not mean that this is bad news for Humans alone,

From the Past incidents, it has been clear,

The Human race acts as a race that is centuries ahead of other races, anything that had happened to them would probably happen to the other races as well.

That meant that the Fifth Generation of every other race would start dying out as well.

This was… horrifying._.

No one wanted to accept this, after living for more than ten thousand years, this scared the Union Members.

However, there was nothing they could do.

They could only wait and hope that their assumptions were wrong.

However,

The Union Members were right and as the years passed, things only got clearer and clearer.

The Fifth Generations Humans passed away, all of them.

Not only that, ‘wrinkles’ and ‘white hairs’, the sign of old age have been seen in the Fourth Generation of Humans.

Their lifetime was about to end as well…

Hundred more years passed and then, the First Fourth Generation Human passed away.

This strengthened the Union Members’ doubts and increased the panic among the people in Yrniel.

More years passed, and another shocking thing happened,

A Fifth Generation Cat Kin passed away.

She was followed by other Fifth Generations of the Beastmen.

Then, the Dwarves and the Elves followed.

And soon, the Third Generation of Humans met their ends as well.

Now everything was clear.

The First Five Generations, the Pillars of the Race,

They are going to die.

They are going to meet their end.

Not only that but even the Progenitors might die as well.

From now on, the people of Yrniel had to live on their own.

Silence enshrouded the entire Yrniel, even the First Generations, the Union Leaders were silent.

Even Azriel Origin, the strongest existence in Yrniel felt fear after a long long time.

No, he was not scared of his own demise, he didn’t care about it.

He was worried about his daughter, Aeliana.

His heart starts beating in panic just as he imagined living a few years without her.

She was an irreplaceable part of his life after all.

Aeliana sensed her father’s fear as well.

Actually, it would be a lie to say that she wasn’t scared as well, however, she didn’t show it.

She just made sure to spend as much time with her father as possible.

Azriel and Aeliana weren’t alone, all the Progenitors had left their mansions, and the First Five Generations off the races except for the vampires had gathered as well.

They all would live together now, just like the old days, until they all return to the dust.

All the responsibilities of managing the Kingdom or the Empire were given to the strongest of each race, the Union Pillars, the Union Leaders and the Progenitors, all left.

For the next few decades, the Union stopped growing and had turned unusually silent, except for a single place,

The Union Mountains, the place where the Union had started, the place where the Progenitors and the First Five Generations lived and grew together.

This time, they did not use advanced technologies, ate well-cooked food or wore good quality clothes, rather, they lived how they used to live, just like Ten Thousand years ago.

Reliving the past and enjoying the day, the First Generations of Humans finally passed away.

Caesar and Faustina, the Two Progenitors cried.

They had lost their children after all.

Aeliana, who had lost all her brothers and sisters cried as well, even the other progenitors’ eyes were moist.

The First Generations of humans had a special place in every Progenitor’s eyes, they were the ones who took care of those children after all.

Only Azriel was somewhat lucky,

Aeliana hadn’t died.

The progenitors assumed that it was because she was turned into a Vampire, they were happy about it, however, they were bitter about it as well.

They were jealous of Azriel.

All of them have lost a child close to them, however, Azriel didn’t.

Aeliana was still alive and well, heck, she didn’t even show any signs of ageing.

Azriel didn’t care about anyone, he just hugged Aeliana tightly, as if afraid that if he lets her go, she would follow the First Generation Humans and would die as well.

He was scared.

And after witnessing the death of the First Generation Humans, he was even more scared.

Aeliana, who was now with Azriel 24/7, felt joyful.

Seeing him worry so much about her, her heart was filled with contentment.

Now, even if she dies, she wouldn’t have any complaints.

Actually, she didn’t think about dying at all, rather than thinking about something she couldn’t control, she decided to just use this opportunity and be spoiled by her father.

Not only that, she had even transformed herself into her 10-year-old appearance, the same height, same big shiny blue eyes, the same long hair, everything was the same.

Now, she stayed in Azriel’s lap all the time.

Sometimes, however, she would visit Caesar and Faustina as well, they were the ones who gave her birth after all.

Though she was attached to Azriel, that didn’t mean that she didn’t love her previous parents.

Faustina and Caesar were happy, seeing their 10-year-old daughter, the time they have missed the most, running around like that filled them with smiles.

The atmosphere was joyful, however, soon, it turned gloomy,

The First Generation of Beastmen died, they were then followed by Elves, Dwarves, Demons and the Dragons.

Yes, the assumptions were correct, the First Five Generations of all the races in Yrniel, except for the Vampires, had died.

In the Union Mountains, only 64 beings were left alive.

63 progenitors and 1 First Generation Vampire.

The region was gloomy, the other Progenitors couldn’t take this anymore, living alone was hard, however, seeing Azriel living with his daughter was even harder.

Therefore, they all returned to their mansions.

They didn’t wait for their death.

They could feel it.

Their body wasn’t sluggish at all.

Neither was there any sign of old age.

Even if they will die in the future, it wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.

Waiting for that long was Idiotic.

Therefore, they just returned to their mansions.

Azriel and Aeliana were now the only ones left in the Union Mountains, actually, Azriel didn’t complain about it at all.

He enjoyed his life,

For him, nothing had changed, all the people he valued, Aeliana and the progenitors were alive.

Therefore, he didn’t care.

He just looked at Aeliana, who had returned to her normal form and was walking toward him with a smile on her face.

“Father, I caught a fish!”

Aeliana laughed.

“Alright, let’s eat it then.” Azriel smiled as he waved in her direction.

However,

Suddenly,

*Cough*

While Aeliana was running toward him,

She puked blood.

Azriel’s eyes widened in horror.

He turned into Blood Mist and appeared near her to catch her before she could fall.

“What happened?”

Azriel questioned and at the same time, he looked at Aeliana as his shined brightly,

He was observing her,

And what he saw made him widen his eyes in horror and shock!

Aeliana’s body,

It was a complete mess.

All her organs had stopped working; it was a miracle that she was even alive!

And Azriel could tell this from the state of her body that this wasn’t something that had happened suddenly,

Aeliana…

This girl’s ageing had started a few years ago, she, however, didn’t show it and continued to live like nothing happened, deceiving even him!

However, now, her body couldn’t hold out.

She…

Azriel’s daughter, was about to die.

Azriel’s heart shuddered in fear, and tears rolled out of his eyes, in the end, only two words came out of his quivering mouth,

“Please… no…”

Aeliana smiled,

“It seems that my time is over, father…”

“no…”

Azriel muttered weakly.

“Let me complete my last selfish request, father.” Aeliana muttered in a weak voice.

“Yes, tell me wh-“

Azriel’s eyes widen in surprise as Aeliana suddenly sealed his lips with hers and then, tears streamed out of Aeliana’s eyes and she…

She stopped moving.
