"One day, one of the ursed ones intervened in the matters of the higher powerhouses in the city while trying to mediate between a person who was in a faction and one who wasn''t."


    "It was like seeing someone getting beaten down and stepping in to help, only to discover that the person you intervened with was part of a cult and you getting in trouble."


    "You know what I mean?" Gaia asked Nn, who nodded.


    "Yes. I do."


    "Good."


    "That''s what one of those ursed ones did. He intervened in a fight between a person in a faction and one not in a faction..."


    "And the trouble escted so much with those in factions that eventually, the ursed ones made a deration."


    "A deration that shook the entire world?"


    "Yes."


    "They ursed ones formed a cult of their own, and the only requirement is not being in a cult or having been refused by any other factions in the cities."


    "In the end, the ursed ones were willing to team up with the weaker people of the Celestial Realm, or those targeted by the Celestial Realm in some way, and promised to protect them from the wrath of the factions."


    "A heroic act, I guess..." Nn mused, quick to grasp the gist of the matter.


    It was like him was looking at those who don''t possess a faction and are going through the same unfair treatment that he suffered, and then creating his own cult which only require that anyone without a faction is free to enter his own faction.


    Of course, it would create a ripple effect through the academy and other factions, who normally preyed on those without factions.


    If he dared to protect them without a faction, he would only be inviting the ire and mercilessness of the entire factions themselves.


    "Let me guess. When this faction copsed in a few days, it was absolutely ruined?" Nn asked Gaia, who nodded.


    "Yes, but not without a fight that shook the entire world..."


    "A fight so brutal that the Ultimate Celestials, who resided in the Ninth Realm from which the ursed ones were banished, and the Celestials of the eighth realms were also forced to intervene..."


    There was so much bloodshed that day, that hundreds of factions were reduced to nothing.


    Their names were wiped out of history by none other than the ursed ones.


    "ording to the records, there has never been such a battle before in the entire Celestial Realm!" Gaia said, and Nn''s eyes shed.


    "Who would have thought that an underdog faction would rise and resist against the upper factions so much that many of them werepletely wiped out of existence?"


    "What happened when the Celestials intervened?" Nn couldn''t help but ask.


    "Many Celestials died!" Gaia answered, and No


    "Don''t tell me..."


    "Yes."


    "The ursed group was so powerful that, after wiping out more than half of the factions that existed, the remaining factions sought the help of the Celestials."


    "When the Celestials came, many of them were also wiped out in cold blood, before eventually, the ursed ones were finally stopped..."


    "And in the end, the Celestial Order came..."


    "With the ursed ones already banished from the Ninth Realm for reasons that no one knows, their punishment was be eternal disappearance."


    "It''s a punishment known as Oblivion!" Gaia exined as Nn''s eyes narrowed.


    "The ursed ones were erased from history."


    "Their fate or history was never to be shown again in any realm whatsoever."


    "Most interpret this as death, and some imagine they were permanently locked away somewhere where they would never see the sun..."


    "But still, the people who were under this faction weren''t cast into oblivion, even though the faction dispersed after the ursed ones were sent into Oblivion."


    "There were still some scattered people in the shadows who are part of this lost cult."


    "And ording to a secret that only the highest of the high powerhouses know, there''s a person who carries the blood of these ursed ones and was not sent into Oblivion..."


    "The only ursed one who still has his freedom!"


    "And that person''s name is Nn Gottschild!" Gaia said as Nn raised an eyebrow at her, before bursting outughing.


    "Wow..."


    "That was one hell of a funny joke! Really a good one."


    "Is that why you came here? To trick me?" Nn asked her, stillughing, but only saw Gaia looking at him dazedly.


    "Why don''t you believe you''re an ursed one..." Gaia said.


    She could tell that Nn didn''t take her words seriously at all.


    "Didn''t you say the ursed ones were from the Ninth Realm and were so powerful that they killed many factions from the 7th and 8th realms and even fought and killed the Celestials of the Ninth Realm?"


    "If they happened to have a lesser descendant, would it be the trashest trash of the academy, that everyone can make fall on the ground by simply manipting the divine essence in his body?"


    "Tell me?"


    "Shouldn''t he be a godly prodigy, unrivaled in power and potential?"


    "Unrivaled power and potential! Which part of that screamed Nn Gottschald!!?" Nn asked with a ridiculingugh as Gaia furrowed her eyebrows in suspicion.


    Really, it made sense a little.


    If Nn were really one of these ursed people, shouldn''t he be so strong and seemingly unrivaled, yet be considered trash?"


    "You''re a descendants of the ursed ones, Nn. No matter what reasoning, I am sure you''re the one..." Gaia said to Nn, who shrugged.


    "Whatever."


    "Whether I''m an ursed one or not, what does that even have to do with me?"


    "They have all been sealed away because they all wanted to be so heroic."


    "Unfortunately, I am not a hero, and I don''t want to get sealed away."


    "So I won''t be fighting any stupid legacy fight, even if I am truly an ursed one..." Nn said with a harrumph.


    "You might not want to agree with what you are."


    "But do you think others who have been haunted by your background will simply let you go scot-free?"


    "You''re very naive, Nn!"


    "Huh?"
