Chapter 870: Dark Fae God Clan
Vaan only asked a simple question, but Hecate was able to derive crucial information from it and understand many things between Goddess Thyia and Gehenna.
Her realization and discovery made her even more astonished.
"It seems Goddess Thyia is very famous?" Vaan speculated.
"Famous?" Hecate shook her head and said, "Famous is an understatement, Sir Vaan. Goddess Thyia wasn't just famous; she belonged to the upper echelons of Chaos itself."
"Although Goddess Thyia was only a True God, even ordinary Empyrean Gods had to give her respect. That was how great and special of a status she held in the distant past."
"Just who was Goddess Thyia exactly?" Vaan asked.
"Funnily enough, I don't exactly know. Such information has only been privy to True Divinities, the elites of Chaos. People at our level wouldn't have many chances to learn about the True Divinities," Hecate stated.
"However, there was an unconfirmed rumor that Goddess Thyia had once been a maidservant for Chaos Royalty. Although no one could guess which member of the Chaos Royalty she served, anyone who received the opportunity to serve Chaos Royalty would also obtain great status by default."
"This is why a True God like Goddess Thyia is so respected among ordinary Empyrean Gods and renowned throughout the Eternal Darkheaven Sector-or so everyone believed in the past."
"I'm not too sure about now. After all, it's been thousands of years since I traveled far and learned any popular news," Hecate commented.
"I see," Vaan uttered thoughtfully.
It wasn't hard to guess that Hecate was referring to descendants and family members of the Lord of Chaos when she mentioned Chaos Royalty.
Of course, Varuna's family and descendants would also be a part of Chaos Royalty.
On that topic, Vaan couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about Varuna's family. Because he didn't recover any memories of them, he had no idea how many wives and children he had from that first life.
He was afraid that the family would be very big, given how long Varuna had lived. As such, he could only hope that he wouldn't have to meet them too soon.
Neither he nor his women were ready for them.
"You know, Lady Hecate, I'm quite curious," Vaan suddenly mentioned, attracting Hecate's own curiosity.
"Curious about what, Sir Vaan?" Hecate replied.
"Just as you said, matters related to True Divinities are hardly known to those at our level. Thus, I'm quite curious how you know so much about them," Vaan mentioned with a smile.
"I don't think ordinary people would be knowledgeable enough to begin speculating Goddess Thyia's relationship with Chaos Royalty, right? Of all the roles to serve Chaos Royalty, why do your sources believe Goddess Thyia was a maidservant, specifically?"
"Perhaps there was actual truth in these rumors? On that note, I'm quite curious where you heard these rumors, Lady Hecate."
"It couldn't have been just anywhere, right? The Dark Fae God Clan, perhaps?" Vaan sounded.
"How do you know about the Dark Fae God Clan?" Hecate's eyes widened with surprise for a moment.
There were countless Dark Fae Clans across Chaos, but only one could be called the Dark Fae God Clan. Moreover, it was the ruling clan of the entire Eternal Darkheaven Sector.
Although most star travelers within the Eternal Darkheaven Sector would know this, such information had never reached Gehenna, which was only a vassal star realm of the Skymagia Star Kingdom.
Thus, it was even more impossible for its name to ever spread to Pangea.
As such, Hecate was quite surprised to hear Vaan mention its name.
Meanwhile, Vaan was baffled by Hecate's reaction.
"Hm?" Vaan briefly paused before replying, "That's a strange question to ask, Lady Hecate. How can I not know about the Dark Fae God Clan when I obtained a drop of Dark Fae God Origin Blood from you, a member of it?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"You can tell what blood essence you refined, Sir Vaan?" Hecate became even more
astonished after receiving Vaan's nod.
Since she had never mentioned the Dark Fae God Clan to Vaan before, her blood essence would indeed reveal her background if he could figure out its origin.
She just didn't expect Vaan to have such an ability. But then again, she shouldn't be surprised either-if he was who she thought he was.
Nevertheless, another matter also amazed her.
Although she had studied the Everlasting Blood Mantra before and understood what it claimed to be capable of, she was still awed to learn that Vaan had refined a drop of Dark Fae God Origin Blood from her Dark Fae Bloodline.
The Everlasting Blood Mantra was truly a heaven-defying primordial technique.
"You are mistaken about one thing, Sir Vaan," Hecate suddenly mentioned before continuing to explain, "I might have the Dark Fae God Bloodline, but I am not a part of the Dark Fae God Clan."
"You see, my great-grandfather made a grave mistake while carrying out an important clan mission. Thus, our family branch got cut out of the Dark Fae God Clan as punishment." "Moreover, a cultivation seal was also placed on our family branch, the Darkstar Aristocrat Family, making it difficult for current and future generations to tap into the true potential of their god bloodline and advance like the direct members of the Dark Fae God Clan."
"Despite that, no one from my Darkstar Aristocrat Family resents the Dark Fae God Clan. Instead, it has been their deepest wish to be allowed to return to the Dark Fae God Clan," Hecate mentioned, feeling strange.
She didn't plan on revealing this part of her background to Vaan so soon, and yet, somehow, she did it anyway.
"Anyhow, this wasn't what we were talking about, were we?" Hecate smiled wryly before returning to the main topic, "You were right that I didn't hear the rumors about Goddess Thyia from just anyone."
"I actually overheard it from my great-grandmother and grandmother, who used to live in the Dark Fae God Clan," Hecate confessed.
"I see," Vaan uttered thoughtfully.
Although he didn't know what positions Hecate's great-grandmother and grandmother held in the Dark Fae God Clan before their exilement, he figured they were probably part of the few powerhouses holding up the current Darkstar Aristocrat Family.
After all, they had been members of the Dark Fae God Clan before receiving the cultivation seal. They shouldn't be weak.
At the very least, he guessed they were at least Divine Lords or stronger.
"Since you heard about Goddess Thyia from your grandparents, and they came from the ruling clan of the Eternal Darkheaven Sector, could it be that the Dark Fae God Clan also serves Chaos Royalty?" Vaan asked curiously.
Although Hecate never got the chance to be a part of the Dark Fae God Clan, she still felt a hint of pride when Vaan raised such a question.
"You're quite sharp, Sir Vaan. That's right, the Dark Fae God Clan serves Chaos Royalty," Hecate admitted with a smile before adding, "However, I heard that even among god clans that serve under Chaos Royalty, the Dark Fae God Clan is said to be among the very top of the
list."
"Apparently, the Dark Fae God Clan has a history with Chaos Royalty that could date back to the Primal Chaos Era-or so my great-grandmother said," Hecate mentioned.
Vaan was astonished after hearing this.
The Dark Fae God Clan was truly formidable for it to endure such a long test of time and remain firmly rooted in its position of power and influence.
