Chapter 781: Legend of the Eternal Heroes (III)

Many people were visibly moved by what Long Tianyin said. Long Xingyu nodded his head to one side as he said sternly, “I agree with temple head Long’s opinion. We cannot be rash about this. There was too much inestimable dangers involved. I also think we shouldn’t use the Eternal Heroes so easily.”

With the expression of opinion from two holy knights, the members present immediately sank into their thoughts. Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu possessed great status in the Knight Temple, so they possessed extremely great influence. Although Yang Haohan had once been the head of the temple alliance, he remained in the headquarters, while the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass had always been under the command of the father and son. Their words would have a certain impact on the members from other temples.

Li Zhengzhi, “I think this will work. There was a restriction to the Scroll of Spiritual Transformation back then. That is, the undead powerhouses brought to life by the Scroll of Spiritual Transformation can only exist for a thousand years. Over six thousand years have passed since then. Every temple head will actually go to pay respects to these Eternal Heroes. We have learnt from them that the Eternal Heroes have chosen to slumber in order to lengthen their lives as undead. However, around forty years ago, their last message was that they did not have much time left. They had five decades at most before they would return to an eternal slumber, and never wake up again. They had suggested back then that if the alliance needed them to, they were willing to help out one last time. In other words, even if we don’t use their power, they won’t last more than ten years. As a result, I agree with temple head Yang’s suggestion. We can trust the Eternal Heroes completely. As for how we can use them, I believe we can find a way to cover it up. There aren’t a lot of them. I believe that these Eternal Heroes can turn the situation around on the battlefield.”

“I am in doubt,” Ling Xiao said. As the Priest Temple head, he hated undead the most. He said solemnly, “I agree with old Yang in mentioning this matter, but I don’t think we should use tis power. The undead are undead. Think about how undead survive. They borrow the powers of the dark, mingling with the auras of corpses, darkness and all other evils. Although these Eternal Heroes are our seniors and have contributed significantly to humanity, they still have been undead for thousands of years already. The two temple heads were right. Just in case something happens, it’s very likely for the union to be doomed.”

Yang Haohan could not help but frown in response to what Ling Xiao said. He knew that bringing up this matter would lead to a debate, but he had never thought the debate would be so intense. He had expected Ling Xiao’s objection, but Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu’s fierce objection had exceeded his expectations. He originally believed that the duo would remain neutral on the matter, but who would have thought they would be the first ones to object.

Long Tianyin and Long Xingyu’s opinion was extremely important, because they were Long Haochen’s relatives. It was very likely for their opinions to impact Long Haochen, who was the chairman.

Perhaps Long Haochen’s current influence over the union was not as great as the senior powerhouses like the six temple heads, but he could influence the people from the Bright Glimmer of Light in today’s meeting at the very least! Aside from him, there was also Cai’er, Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan, three vice-chairwomen of the union. Perhaps their influence was still not great enough, but if it ended in a final vote, the Bright Glimmer of Hope would possess almost a third of all the votes. As a result, Long Haochen’s opinion was critical to deciding this matter.

The Starry Sky Holy Knight, Yang Haoyu, suddenly spoke at this moment. He coughed gently and immediately attracted everyone’s attention. As the greatest powerhouse of the union, his opinion was also very important.

“None of us can decide whether this matter is right or wrong, or good or bad, right now. It’s good that everyone is discussing this, but I need to remind you all that it’s no longer about the temple alliance, but the Temple Union. The discussion so far is discussion, but before the chairman has spoken, haven’t we stepped a little bit out of our places?”

Yang Haoyu did not directly support Yang Haohan, nor did he sate his opinion. Instead, he defended Long Haochen’s authority as the chairman of the union. Actually, he failed to understand what was happening with Long Haochen today. Long Haochen had always been clever and knew how to control the situation. The meeting today was so important, so why did he remain silent as the chairman of the union, letting everyone argue among themselves?

Hearing what Yang Haoyu said, Yang Haohan nodded, “That’s what I’m thinking as well. Let’s here the chairman’s opinion first.”

Long Tianyin did not object to this. In his heart, Long Haochen was his grandson at the end of the day, and he really did object Yang Haohan’s suggestion from the bottom of his heart, or he wouldn’t have immediately retorted his suggestion after all these years of friendship.

Long Xingyu frowned slightly. Who knew what he was thinking. Everyone’s gazes ended up gathering on Long Haochen.

Long Haoche smiled indifferently. He said, “Since a new union’s been founded, we have to decide on any final matter together. The final voting will represent what the majority thinks. However, before more people speak their minds and we vote, I want to tell you all a story. Temple head Yang, do you know the name of the creator of the Scroll of Spiritual Transformation?”

Yang Haohan was surprised. He did not expect Long Haochen to ask something like that. He instinctively shook his head and said, “There’s no record of it. It only said that it’s very likely that the scroll was created by the necromancer who had sowed misery and suffering into the continent in the past. I don’t know why it was left behind. Perhaps it was a spoil of war when the Glorious Church defeated him.”

Long Haochen nodded, “Then, do any of you know the name of this necromancer of the past?”

Long Tianyin frowned slightly, “Chairman, what’s the point of this? Moreover, the necromancer of the past had appeared before the era of darkness. It’s over six thousand five hundred years from now. There are very few records that detail him. All we can confirm is that a powerful and evil necromancer existed. There’s basically nothing else that’s been passed down about his details.”

Long Haochen said, “Then, you all don’t know? Alright, let me tell you then.”

As he said that, he stood up slowly. With a slight flash, he arrived at the front from the back. All the powerhouses sitting at the table discovered in surprise that in that moment, Long Haochen seemed to have arrived there by crossing through space. It seemed like he had directly passed through the table, but in reality, he had used an ability similar to teleportation.

His strength had increased drastically again! Yang Haoyue could not help but sigh in amazement secretly. And, he discovered that it was rather difficult for him to see through Long Hoachen’s cultivation now.

Long Haochen arrived at the front of the table and said, “The necromancer who created the scroll was called Elux. He’s also the one who caused a huge disaster for humanity before the era of darkness. He gave himself a title. He called himself the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux. If it were not for his existence that had created a disaster for us humans, perhaps we would not have been annihilated like we were when the demons attacked, and the era of darkness for the past six thousand years would not have existed.”

“However, it is humans who cultivate to become necromancers. Never have we heard about any other creature directly becoming a necromancer, right? Then, why did he lay his hands on humans and sow misery and suffering among them?”

The Priet Temple head, Ling Xian, said instinctively, “Necromancers like that must be evil. They want to destroy the world.”

Long Haochen smiled, “Temple head Ling, we can’t become entrenched in our preconceived ideas. If I tell you all that this terrifying necromancer who had once brought a disaster to mankind was originally of the light element and that all of his death magic was based on the light element, would you believe me?”

“Impossible,” Long Tianyin, Long Xingyu, Ling Xiao and even Yang Haoyu and Yang Haohan all said together. They were all representatives of the element of light.

Long Haochen shook his head, “No, I’m telling the truth, because not only was this necromancer a light mage in the past, he was a Scion of Light as well, just like me.”

As soon as he said that, everyone fell into an uproar. For that moment, everyone looked at Long Haochen like he was a madman. Only the people of the Bright Glimmer of Hope remained composed.

Long Tianyin suddenly stood up and said angrily, “Long Haochen, do you know what you are saying? Are you arguing for this necromancer? And by using such impossible arguments?”

Long Haochen looked at Long Tianyin with a brilliant gaze. He did not let up.

“Temple head Long, the truth is not decided by the loudness of your voice. Please sit down first. Since I am the chairman, I hope you can let me finish. From now onwards, please do not interrupt me, or I must ask you to leave.”
