The Eternals stayed on Earth after the Deviants were defeated in order to help humanity evolve, but they weren’t allowed to interfere in their conflicts.

The Eternals ended up learning the truth about their origin and mission on Earth, which was all about helping the Celestial Tiamut to be born as its seed had been planted inside Earth, but its birth meant the destruction of the planet.
