“Do not go against The Ancestral Order.
It will never end well.”
Astaria warned with a serious look on her face. Seeing her expression, even Nux turned serious. Honestly, he has always been curious about The Ancestral Order, he talked about it with 2 Divine Stage Cultivators, and both of them pretty much said the same thing.
“Are they that strong?”
He questioned.
“They are stronger than whatever you can think of. From what I have heard, they are nothing short of invincible.”
Astaria answered.
“What… what if a power like that… turns against us?” Nux spoke in a heavy tone.
“We will be in a bad position, yes.
But from what I have heard.
The Ancestral Order is Absolutely Fair.
Most of the leaders of the High-Level Clans and other Powers in Yrniel are a part of the Ancestral Order and have pretty high positions, however, even they cannot manipulate Ancestral Order or somehow interrupt them.
Once a Leader of a Clan, who was also one of the higher-ups, broke the Order’s Rules, since he was in power, and had other friends who were in power on his side, he thought he could get away, however, the next day,
He, along with all other leaders who helped,
They were all killed.
And it wasn’t a silent assassination either, the targets’ bodies were hung in the middle of the City with the words ‘Ancestral Order’ written under it.
In a single day, 9 Saint-level beings who resided in different locations were killed, and nobody knew who did it.
Honestly, the presence of the Ancestral Order is a blessing for new clans like ours.
In this world, the Strong devours the Weak.
The Ancestral Order does not prevent it but they do prevent the Strong from Devouring the Weak with the Potential to become strong.
Or in other words, the Ancestral Order allows the weak to step up and become strong.
They help the weak who are willing to put in the work and change their destiny.
Also, the Ancestral Order is never wrong.
They have never punished an innocent party.
So as long as we don’t break their rules, we have nothing to worry about.”
Astaria shared what she had heard.
“The Ancestral Order huh…” Nux commented, then, a curious look appeared on his face as he spoke out loud,
“I wonder who the actual leader behind the Ancestral Order is.
Just how strong one has to be to create an Order like this?”
“Well, I do not know how strong the leader is, but they do say that the Ancestral Order once killed a Divine Stage Cultivator because he broke a rule but it is more likely a rumor since there was no concrete information about that man who was killed.”
“That is not a rumor.”
Suddenly, Melia spoke up.
Everyone turned towards her and seeing that she had gained their attention, Melia knew that she had to share the story,
“It was the son of one of the 10 Warriors of the Human Race who had just become a Divine Stage Cultivator, Elendra Larsen. He liked this woman however, the woman married someone else. The man was the leader of a medium-level clan, so Elendra, who felt betrayed killed the Clan Leader and was then executed by the Ancestral Order the next day.”
Melia explained.
“Wait… one of the ten Warriors of the Human Race…
Are you talking about the ten strongest humans in Yrniel?” Nux, who had heard about them questioned with a surprised look on his face.
“That is correct.
The 10 Warriors who are hailed as the strongest humans and are not under the influence of any of the human empires.
They are the face of the Human Race and are beings who are said to have overcome the limits of the human race and are able to fight against Vampires, Dragons, and Demons in a one-on-one battle.
My father once fought against the Third-ranked Warrior and he was forced to use his trump card in order to win. It was a close battle.
So yes, the Warriors aren’t weak.
And since the Ancestral Order killed the child of a warrior and that too, so openly, many thought that this would cause a big ruckus but nothing happened.
The Warrior, who were known to have an insanely high ego and never bow their head even in front of the Human Emperors, didn’t even make a sound even after his most talented son was killed.”
“…”
Silence fell all over the place.
Even a being who had a similar power level compared to Orpheus Bloodheart didn’t dare to say anything and just quietly accepted his son’s death.
This was beyond shocking.
“But you guys don’t have to worry too much,
As she said, the Ancestral Order is fair and it actually benefits us.
So let’s just follow their first rule and register our clan.” Melia spoke.
The other women nodded as well. Nux decided to let go of this as well.
He would eventually learn more about the Ancestral Order anyways.
“Alright then, shall we go this famed Ancestral Order?” Nux questioned.
Astaria nodded.
The group then walked out of the inn. The innkeeper was surprised to see so many women walking out of the inn.
When did these women enter!?
He wondered in his head.
Did he forget about them!? No fucking way!
There is no way he can forget about women this beautiful!
He also glared at the man who was walking with these women, however, the man seemed to have sensed his gaze. The man glanced at the owner and smiled, that smile, however, seemed demonic in the owner’s eyes and he quickly lowered his eyes.
The group left the inn and Astaria then took them to the Ancestral Order.
The place seemed busy, there were clans recruiting clan members, some people were looking for a clan that suited them, some were just enjoying the liveliness with a glass of beer in their hands.
The moment the group entered the building, it attracted attention.
There was no need to mention it, but the women around Nux were extremely beautiful, and Nux himself was a handsome man and since none of them were covering their faces, it was obvious that they would attract attention.
Of course, Nux and the others were used to it already, they just walked towards the counter, Astaria then stepped forward and spoke.
“We would like to register our new Clan.”
“Haaah? So when you rejected my offer saying that you were already in a clan, you meant a clan that hasn’t even registered itself?”
