Chapter 1336 Bing The Patriarch
"Of course there were other powerful masters in our n," Gatlin said. "The Chu n was at its peak
back then. It had enough power topete with the Ancestral Land. The n 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 n was the strongest human force in the
Primitive Wilderness."
Darren was shocked to learn that.
Was the Chu n 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 n gotten so much power but only to
lose it all in the end?
"They had so many powerful masters guarding the n. What on earth had caused the Chu n''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 n. Itsted four thousand years. In the end, seven warriors at the Deputy God Realm perished,
and the Chu n was divided into three branches.
And, that''s not the worst. When the Chu n became weaker, the top masters of the other eight
regions united to fight against it. Their reason was that the Chu n had disturbed the natural order of
things in the human race and deserved to pay. The Chu n members fought valiantly, and finally
drove the enemies away. However, the Chu n 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 n? 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 eximed indignantly.
"It''s not as simple as you think. When I began to understand the things of the world, the Chu n was
already on the verge of copse. The things I know now, I learned them from the seventh patriarch of
the n. He said that the powerful cultivators of the eight regionsunched an attack on Chu n
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 exnation for the
war.
"Did the Chu n 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 dere 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 n was only peaceful for a short time after the Ancestral Land interfered. After a decade,
the ming fiend race, whose territory was close to that of the Chu n''s, sent their most powerful
warriors to ughter the members of the Chu n.
The Ancestral Land and the other regions didn''t do their best to help them stop the invasion of the
foreign race. The invasion hadsted for three thousand years. Only six of the deputy gods in the Chu
n survived, and they scattered in the three branches.
At that time, the Chu n was on the verge of copse. The members of the n had no choice but to
flee and go into hiding to survive.
It wasn''t easy for them to escape, either. Many other ns wanted to destroy them and take their
treasures for themselves, so they were always hot on the Chu n''s heels.
The remaining members of the Chu n had no choice but to scatter. Some even had to go into the
abysses to save their lives. Tens of thousands of yearster, they all disappeared. No one has seen
them since."
The story of the Chu n 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 n. 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 themter. There was a very big chance that Darren''s father was no longer
alive.
Realizing this, Darren felt his heart sink even more.
"s," Darren sighed.
"Young master, don''t feel discouraged. Maybe your parents are hiding in one of the abysses," Gatlin
said in aforting tone.
"I hope so."
"Young master, it is a blessing from God that I met you during this time. From now on, I will follow you. I
will devote my life to you, and I will do everything in my power to make sure that the Chu n is
brought back to its former glory," Gatlin said, bowing to him.
"Ha!" Darren chuckled. "Gatlin, my cultivation base is still very weak. Reviving the Chu n is beyond
my reach. Let''s let bygones be bygones. I need to go my own way."
"Young master!" Gatlin raised his head, tears streaming down his cheeks. His face was contorted into a
mask of pain and confusion.
"Young master, you are a direct descendant of the Chu n. You should be the patriarch of the Chu
n," Gatlin said, his voice pleading.
"The Chu n has already been erased from history. What''s more, there should also be deputy gods
or warriors at the top level of the Superior God Realm in the abysses. I am just a junior. I do not
deserve to be the patriarch," Darren said, a bitter smile on his face.
Gatlin had searched in the human race in the Primitive Wilderness for a direct descendant of the Chu
n for so many years. However, he could not find anyone—that was, until the day he met Darren. But
Darren simply thought it was meaningless to be a nominal patriarch.
"Young master, I had followed the old patriarch for many years. He told me that if I met a direct
descendant of the Chu n, I have to make sure that he takes the position of the patriarch. That was
hisst wish. You must agree to it!"
Darren felt helpless. He looked straight into Gatlin''s eyes and saw that they were full of hope and
pleading. He knew that he could not say no.
"Well, if you''d like, you can consider me as the patriarch of the Chu n..." Darren just wanted to fulfill
Gatlin''s request.
"Good! This is good! Greetings, patriarch!" Gatlin knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
"Stand up please, Gatlin."
Gatlin hurriedly stood up and dashed off into the secret room. Darren could hear him looking for
something.
A momentter, he walked back out. In his hand was a long sword. It looked old and it was covered in
rust.
"Patriarch Darren, take this sword. Just put a drop of your blood on its hilt, and you will be its
master," Gatlin said, handing the sword to Darren.
"What is this?"
"This is one of the three divine weapons of our Chu n. It is also the patriarch''s status symbol."
"Oh." Darren took a deep breath and took the sword from Gatlin. He put a small cut on his finger and
squeezed out a drop of bright, red blood essence.
When Darren''s blood essence infiltrated the sword, it bonded him with the sword. However, nothing
else happened.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening sound rang out and sent shockwaves through the ground.
"What?"
Darren could feel an enormous amount of pressureing from outside.
''Did a chief god detect me again?''
Darren immediately activated the God Character to hide his aura. However, it didn''t work.
The pressure outside was still there, and it seemed to be getting stronger.
