Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1336

"Of course there were other powerful masters in our clan," Gatlin said. "The Chu Clan was at its peak back then. It had enough power to compete with the Ancestral Land. The clan was home to many powerful warriors. There were more than twenty-seven warriors who had reached the Deputy God Realm, and there were several hundred people who had reached the top level of the Superior God Realm. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the Chu Clan was the strongest human force in the Primitive Wilderness."

Darren was shocked to learn that.

Was the Chu Clan really so powerful in the past? There were twenty seven warriors at the Deputy God Realm! It sounded too good to be true.

However, Darren felt even more confused. How had the Chu Clan gotten so much power but only to lose it all in the end?

"They had so many powerful masters guarding the clan. What on earth had caused the Chu Clan's demise?"

"War," Gatlin said, his voice grim.

"War?"

"Yes." Gatlin nodded. "Seven thousand years after the ancestor died, an internal war broke out in the Chu Clan. It lasted four thousand years. In the end, seven warriors at the Deputy God Realm perished, and the Chu Clan was divided into three branches.

And, that's not the worst. When the Chu Clan became weaker, the top masters of the other eight regions united to fight against it. Their reason was that the Chu Clan had disturbed the natural order of things in the human race and deserved to pay. The Chu Clan members fought valiantly, and finally drove the enemies away. However, the Chu Clan became even weaker."

Darren was lost in thought. The battle must have been incredibly fierce.

"Gatlin, why did the powerful warriors of the other eight regions attack the Chu Clan? Humans are weak in the Primitive Wilderness, so what they needed the most was unity. Their fighting was meaningless! Didn't the Ancestral Land interfere?" Darren exclaimed indignantly.

"It's not as simple as you think. When I began to understand the things of the world, the Chu Clan was already on the verge of collapse. The things I know now, I learned them from the seventh patriarch of the clan. He said that the powerful cultivators of the eight regions launched an attack on Chu Clan under the Ancestral Land's orders. It was said that they were fighting for something important," Gatlin said.

A war wouldn't break out for no reason. Darren was certain that there was a good explanation for the war.

"Did the Chu Clan really fall after that?" Darren asked, sighing.

"Not yet. Only after the strong cultivators of the eight regions were defeated did the Ancestral Land show up and declare that the two sides could not ever fight again. If they did, they would be put to death. The trouble did not end there. You know that the human race is the most insignificant race in the Primitive Wilderness.

The Chu Clan was only peaceful for a short time after the Ancestral Land interfered. After a decade, the flaming fiend race, whose territory was close to that of the Chu Clan's, sent their most powerful warriors to slaughter the members of the Chu Clan.

The Ancestral Land and the other regions didn't do their best to help them stop the invasion of the foreign race. The invasion had lasted for three thousand years. Only six of the deputy gods in the Chu Clan survived, and they scattered in the three branches.

At that time, the Chu Clan was on the verge of collapse. The members of the clan had no choice but to flee and go into hiding to survive.

It wasn't easy for them to escape, either. Many other clans wanted to destroy them and take their treasures for themselves, so they were always hot on the Chu Clan's heels.

The remaining members of the Chu Clan had no choice but to scatter. Some even had to go into the abysses to save their lives. Tens of thousands of years later, they all disappeared. No one has seen them since."

The story of the Chu Clan was one of triumph and glory, but it was also one of hardship and suffering. Gatlin only narrated it briefly so that Darren could have a general idea of what had happened in the past in the shortest time.

Darren's heart sank at Gatlin's story. He could feel the weight of the pain and injustice that they had gone through, and it was like a knife piercing through his heart.

"Gatlin, who are my parents?" This was a question Darren had always wanted to know the answer to.

"I cannot help you with this, I'm sorry. However, I remember you saying that you have been sent to one of the mortal worlds. I heard from the patriarch that the children of the twenty-seven deputy gods were sent to the mortal worlds randomly. I am certain your father was one of the twenty-seven deputy gods."

Darren felt relieved. This piece of information narrowed down his search for his parents by a lot.

His father might have been one of the twenty seven deputy gods of the Chu Clan. Any one of those men could have been his father. Darren simply needed to find out who they were.

Unfortunately, Gatlin had also said that only six of the deputy gods survived after the war. And no one knew what happened to them later. There was a very big chance that Darren's father was no longer alive.

Realizing this, Darren felt his heart sink even more.
