Chapter 30 The 9 Clans

"You've passed the trial." The voice continued as I looked around. It was a white jade grand palace with gold all over. There were 9 pillars around me all with different symbols on them. Quickly though I realized this wasn't a dream.

"Where am I?" I asked as I didn't get a reply. "So are you going to speak again?" I asked another question. "Yes indeed I am. Although you may not know where you are, you may know why you're here." The voice continued.

A minute later though it didn't speak again as I quickly asked with a bit of irritation. "Then why am I here?" To this I finally got the response I wanted. "Well you are here because you passed the trial of the abyss. As you know by now you went through 3 trials. First was endurance, second was your intelligence although you might be slightly lacking in that department you used your kenbunshoku haki quite well and third was your response to immense anger." The voice said as an old man appeared in front of me.

He had deep blue eyes as deep and as clear as the sea. His head was full of long white hair that reached to his feet complemented by an equally long beard. He was dressed in sea blue robes along with a pure white glove on his hand with water in a glass sphere.

Immediately my response was as expected of myself. "So where's my prize? Isn't there a reward for these things? Oh and what about you making me die 3 times practically, what do I get for that?" I responded with excitedly and agitatedly at the same time.

"Calm down, calm down. You'll get your prize but why should I compensate you for coming down MY RAVINE?? Dont try to run before you can walk young child." The old man said as I calmed down and stopped myself from firing more questions.

"So before you get your prize let me tell you a tale. Once there was nothing and then there was everything. In a sudden flash of light the Infinite Multiverse appeared within the void. The multiverse was infinite and due to that it held infinite universes along with infinite variations and infinite timelines. Among each universe and timeline ours exists. Every action that happens has a minute chance to happen when you consider everything and ours happened to be one that had the potential for evolution. But enough about that.

What I came to tell you was this. Among each universe a maximum of 9 Stage 9 life forms appear although there are more or none sometimes due to there being infinite variations. Generally though for a universe such as ours we'd be lucky to get 9. Of the Stage 9 life forms though all of them generally pick one of the 9 sacred clans.

No one owns these clans and no one knows how they came to be but its attributed to the infinite multiverse. I am one of the members of such a clan. My clan is the Primordial Sea clan and I am in charge of the section of the trial for my clan in this universe.

There are also 8 more people such as I but you're not suited for their clans so I've come to ask you a question. Would you like to be a trial member of my clan? Let it be known though, although the benefits are massive you'd have to fight the other trial members to become an actual member of the clan and most of them are legendary talents or above! Choose wisely!" The old man said as he explained the situation to me.

'Hmmm should I join? I'll be murdered for sure if I join but think about all the stuff I could get that could help me beat the other talents! But couldn't they get it too? Also he didn't promise me sh*t did he?' I thought as I deliberated which option to pick.

"Before you decide though I must tell you a great aura comes off of you." The old man said. 'FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES ABOUT MY PROTAGONIST AURA!' I thought stupidly as I immediately said "I'll join!"

To this the old man smiled as he said. "Then here your rewards are as follows. A Super Rare talent pill. This pill as it states will allow you to become a Super Rare talent. You also get the King Of The Sea body training manual which will allow you to have maximum effectiveness when you train your body. Last but not least a Ruler Of The Sea fragment. This will give you a HIGH chance to have the best evolution possible once you reach Stage 2. All things considered your rewards are very good consider 1 most of the trial members have massive talents so they dont get an upgrade, secondly we generally dont have a super specific manual to help them have maximum effectiveness since normally they dont have such a suited type to us as you do and thirdly most of them would already be Stage 2 or higher so they wouldn't be able to benefit from a Sea Ruler fragment which could REALLY help you. Now that my job is done though, tata."

Immediately a pill appeared in my hand along with a thin manual. Just as I was about to look for the fragment my brain shook as a blue crystal appeared within my mind. "Oh and I almost forgot take this low tier ring to get you started." The old man finished as my body was transported outside the ravine.

Author's Note: Well hello there again. I have to tell you guys some stuff. Firstly I hope you liked the chapter if you had any complaints please tell me so I can fix it. Apart from that though I have now started school so I might sometimes miss an upload such a yesterday but I'll try to do once a day. Good new though on Sunday I'll do double chapters as much as possible so look forward to Double Sunday. (bad joke I know) Besides that I hope you like the world building as I've heard that some of you wanted that. Last thing though I put this here and not in Author's thought because it probably wouldn't fit and I think more of you will read it like this. Till next time, bye!
