Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 167 The Transition of Power

But just as Yuehui, Long Tianyin and others had predicted.

This centralized structure appears quite fair to the six temples, while also effectively curbing the possibility of excessive concentration of power and the formation of a one-man rule.

Therefore, when Yang Haohan asked the question, no one in the audience raised any objections, and the hall was filled with solemn silence.

Seeing this, Yang Haohan nodded calmly, and the meeting entered its most crucial phase.

"Next, we will hold the election for the first president of the Temple Federation."

Yang Haohan's voice echoed throughout the venue. His gaze swept over every powerful figure present, and finally he spoke slowly.
"Upon nomination, the candidate is Moonshine, the leader of the [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Team."

"He is also the only candidate for the current Federal President."

"Moonlight, born in the Temple of Magic, is the only person in the six thousand years since the establishment of our Temple Alliance to awaken lightning-type spiritual power. She is also the first familiar of mankind to be recognized by the Thunder God. She is exceptionally talented and possesses innate full spiritual power."

"He once dominated the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament and won the final championship, which led to the formation of the [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Team. Under his leadership, the team has killed more than twelve demon gods, with the highest-ranking member being the seventh demon god, Ananda."

"In this year's Temple Grand Competition, he once again led the [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Team to an overwhelming victory and win the final championship."

"According to past practice, the leader of the alliance should also be selected from the champion demon hunter team."

“Now,” Yang Haohan’s voice suddenly rose, “who objects to Yuehui’s nomination as chairman candidate?”

Although many people present had already heard of Yuehui's deeds, they were still deeply shocked when they heard Yang Haohan list out his legendary resume one by one.

However, those present were all seasoned veterans who knew that appointing the leader of a prestigious and powerful demon hunter group as the first president of the Federation would be most beneficial for the smooth transition and initial integration of the new Federation.

Therefore, no one in the meeting room voiced their opposition.

The corners of Li Zhengzhi's mouth couldn't help but turn upwards, his heart filled with smugness.

After all, Moonbeam is his own grandson! So, wouldn't this new federation still be centered around his magic temple?
“Alright! Since everyone agrees, the chairmanship is now confirmed.” Yang Haohan announced decisively, and then moved on to the next agenda item, “Next, we will nominate the six vice chairmen.”

"The nominees are as follows: Knight Temple Master Long Tianyin, Magic Temple Master Li Zhengzhi, Priest Temple Master Ling Xiao, Soul Temple Master Chen Hongyu, Warrior Temple Master Qiu Yonghao, and Assassin Temple Master Sheng Yue."

"Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions regarding the nomination of the above six vice chairpersons?"

Just then, Saint Moon, the master of the Assassin Temple, suddenly spoke up: "I have an objection!"

Just as Chen Hongyu, the Lord of the Soul Temple, raised his hand, he was surprised to find that Sheng Yue had beaten him to it, and his eyes widened in astonishment.

All eyes immediately focused on Saint Moon.

Saint Moon stood up calmly and said loudly, "I object to the nomination of myself as Vice President of the Federation!"

Yang Haohan looked at him in surprise: "Brother Saint, you should think this through. You represent the Assassin's Temple."

“I’ve thought this through very clearly,” Saint Moon said firmly. “Being just an ordinary councilor is enough for me. This vice-chairman position should rightfully be held by the new Temple Master of our Assassin’s Temple.”

"A new temple master?" Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

Saint Moon has served as the master of the Assassin Temple for decades, and there has never been any news of him training any successor.

Moreover, unlike the Knights' Temple, the Assassins' Temple has always had only one Lord.

"What's so strange about that?" Saint Moon said frankly, "I have served as the temple master for many years, but there has never been a younger generation who can take on the responsibility."

“Now, Saint Cai’er in my palace has reached the ninth level of cultivation, has completely mastered the Reincarnation Inheritance, gained the approval of the God of Death, and has even comprehended a unique purification domain! As the ‘Saintess of Reincarnation,’ isn’t it only natural that she serves as the Palace Master of the Assassin’s Temple?”

Upon hearing Sheng Yue's words, the expressions of the people on the platform instantly became incredibly interesting.

Meanwhile, Chen Hongyu, the Lord of the Soul Temple, was filled with regret. He had originally planned to take the opportunity to offer his position as Lord of the Soul Temple to his granddaughter, Chen Ying'er, thus gaining a huge favor from Moonbeam and the Magic Temple, but he never expected that old man Holy Moon would beat him to it!

At Sheng Yue's repeated urging, Sheng Cai'er stood up from her seat on the Demon Hunter team's side. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, she calmly walked to the podium and sat down in the seat that Sheng Yue had vacated.

"You old codger, you've got a sharp tongue! You beat me to it!" Chen Hongyu, the Lord of the Soul Temple, could no longer contain himself and practically jumped up to shout, "Ying'er, come up here! From today onwards, you are the Lord of the Soul Temple!"

Chen Ying'er's beautiful eyes widened, and she pointed at herself in disbelief: "Me?"

"Nonsense! You are the only Soul Saintess of my Soul Temple, and you have been recognized by the Beast God! Your Myriad Beasts Domain is even more powerful than mine, and you are wearing the only divine artifact of my temple, the Soul Saint Robe! If you don't take the position of Temple Master, who else is qualified?" Chen Hongyu deliberately glared at her, but his tone was full of certainty and pride.

"Oh..." Chen Ying'er seemed a little confused, but under her grandfather's urging gaze, she obediently walked to the podium and sat in the seat that Chen Hongyu had given up.

Yang Haohan's lips twitched again as he watched the series of changes unfold.

He steadied himself and, following procedure, asked, "In that case... let's continue the meeting. Does anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding the vice-chairman nomination?"

His question, asked almost instinctively, surprised that someone actually responded.

The Temple Master of the Warriors' Temple, Qiu Yonghao, slowly stood up, his voice carrying a hint of relief mixed with heaviness:

“I’m old and useless now, it’s time for me to step down. Under my leadership, the Warrior Temple has achieved its worst result in history in this year’s Temple Competition. I, Qiu Yonghao, am truly ashamed to continue serving as the Temple Master.”

“Last night, I discussed with the elders of the temple and decided that today, the position of temple master will be passed on to the most promising and hopeful young man in the temple.”

"Hopefully, under her leadership, the Warrior Temple will play an even more important role in the Federation's fight against the demons. Yuan Yuan, come on up."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuanyuan froze on the spot, pointing at herself in disbelief: "Me?"

Qiu Yonghao looked at her and gave her a gentle yet reassuring smile:

"Isn't it you? Among the younger generation of our Warrior Temple, who is stronger than you? From the Demon Hunter Selection Tournament onwards, I have seen all the efforts you have made and all the tenacity you have shown. The future world ultimately belongs to you young people."

As he spoke, he voluntarily stepped out of his seat.

This left everyone somewhat bewildered.

Saint Moon abdicated in favor of Cherrie because Cherrie was his heir and great-granddaughter.

Although Chen Hongyu's succession was sudden, Chen Ying'er is also the rightful heir and granddaughter.

The situation at the Warrior's Temple is quite different. Temple Master Qiu Yonghao and Wang Yuanyuan are not related by blood or kinship at all.

Since Wang Yuanyuan joined the Demon Hunter Group, she has rarely returned to the Warrior's Temple.

At this moment, Qiu Yonghao's decisive passing of the position of Palace Master to her demonstrates his courage and foresight, which is truly admirable.

“Grandpa Qiu, I…” Wang Yuanyuan stood up, strode up to the stage, and came to Qiu Yonghao. Her eyes were red and her voice was choked with sobs.

Qiu Yonghao patted her shoulder heavily: "No need to say more. I'm doing this not only for you, but also for the future of our Warriors' Temple. I believe you can do better than us old guys."

As he spoke, he personally took the chair he had been sitting in and gently pressed Wang Yuanyuan down into the chair that symbolized the highest authority of the Warrior Temple.

After doing all this, he felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders, and he let out a long, relieved sigh.

He then turned around, walked steadily down from the platform, and calmly sat down in the seat of the warriors of the Temple of Warriors.

Yuehui was naturally pleased to see this transition of power between the old and new generations.

This means that... the power of the new Federation is now completely in his hands!
(Great, step two of the plan... complete!)
