……

"So, does anyone else have any opinions or suggestions?" Yang Haohan asked again.

At the same time, his gaze swept meaningfully over Ling Xiao and Li Zhengzhi, who had not yet expressed their opinions.

Li Zhengzhi simply chuckled, remaining seated as still as a mountain, and did not utter a word.

His successor is now the president of the Federation. To whom can he pass on the Magic Temple?
Even though his disciple Tan Wan was exceptionally talented, second only to Yuehui, he ultimately lacked the experience and prestige to shoulder this heavy responsibility.

The current situation is the best possible outcome.

As for Priest Ling Xiao, the Temple Master, although his disciple Lu Xi is equally outstanding and is also a member of [Eternal Dawn], his qualifications and strength are still insufficient, and he is far from being able to take over the position of Temple Master.

He naturally had no intention of making any changes at this time.

The situation at the Knights' Temple is even more unique.

Although they wanted to put Long Haochen in the position of vice chairman, Long Haochen has not yet gained the recognition of any Divine Throne and is not the master of the Knight Temple.

Even someone as powerful as Yang Haoyu only enjoys the honor of being an elder in the Knights' Temple, not the position of temple master.

If Long Haochen is forcibly promoted to the position at this moment, it will inevitably be difficult to win over the public and cause unnecessary disputes.

As for Han Yu, although he is powerful and has gained the recognition of the Throne of Fear and Sorrow, making him qualified, his special status as Long Haochen's attendant knight makes it extremely inappropriate for him to serve as vice chairman.

Therefore, the Knights' Temple also remained silent.

Seeing that no one raised any further objections, Yang Haohan nodded and then announced, "Then, we will proceed with the election of the thirty-six Federal Permanent Representatives. The rules are as follows: each temple will elect six representatives..."

The appointment of Moonbeam as the first president of the Temple Federation was a result that was generally acceptable to all the major temples.

Therefore, the subsequent process of nominating and selecting members of parliament proceeded exceptionally smoothly, and the basic framework of the entire federal central agency was completed in less than an hour.

"The election process is now complete," Yang Haohan concluded in a loud voice. "Next, the Federation will immediately arrange for an announcement to the entire population, striving to proclaim the establishment of the Temple Federation to all humanity within a month."

"At the same time, the Federation is newly established and everything needs to be rebuilt. There are many things that need to be dealt with as soon as possible. Among them, the most important task at present is to complete the integration of the power of the six temples as soon as possible and to get the elite troops back to the border to defend their posts in a timely manner."

"Now, please welcome the first president of the Holy Temple Federation—Moonlight—to give us a speech!"

Yuehui nodded slightly, calmly rose, first paying respects to all the powerful figures from the six great temples below the stage, and then spoke in a steady voice:
"It is an honor to be entrusted with the role of the first president of the Temple Federation. I am well aware of the immense responsibility this position carries, but I will do my utmost to fulfill my duties."

"My goal is to not only lead the Federation to solidify its defenses during my ten-year term in power, but also to launch a full-scale strategic counterattack against the Demon Race and end this dark age that has lasted for more than six thousand years!"

His words were powerful and resolute, inspiring many of the strong individuals present and giving them a glimmer of hope.

However, what Yuehui said next instantly jolted everyone out of their initial excitement, plunging them into utter astonishment.

"Then let me raise the first formal agenda item since the establishment of the Temple Federation!"

His gaze swept across the entire room as he spoke, word by word: "I propose that we immediately activate the Holy Temple Federation's ultimate foundation—the ultimate power that originated from the first Holy War six thousand years ago and has been sealed away ever since!"

"President!"

Yang Haohan spoke almost instinctively, trying to stop him.

Of the more than two hundred people present, only a handful knew of the existence of the Eternal Heroes. This was because the knowledge had been passed down orally from generation to generation by the temple masters, and the number of people who knew about it was no more than a handful.

Therefore, the vast majority of people's faces were filled with shock and confusion.

The Temple Alliance... actually hides a foundation from six thousand years ago?
"Please be patient, everyone, and let me finish what I have to say." Yuehui raised his hand, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan opened their mouths, but ultimately swallowed their words under the moonlight's gaze and chose to listen for the time being.

"In fact, our Temple Alliance has always hidden an ultimate power that is enough to fight against the demons and even make them tremble with fear."

Moonlight's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, "It was only because this power exists in an extremely special form that it has been sealed away for six thousand years and has never been used."

"Those are—sixty-three domain-level powerhouses!"

Moonlight's words exploded like thunder in the venue, shocking all the unsuspecting powerhouses!
It should be noted that the total number of domain-level experts in the six major temples combined does not exceed thirty.

But Yuehui's words actually concealed sixty-three people?!
In an instant, the venue erupted in uproar, with incredulous discussions filling every corner.

"Silence!" Yuehui's voice was not loud, but it clearly drowned out all the noise, and the venue instantly fell silent again.

"I understand everyone's doubts—why has such a powerful force never been used in six thousand years?" Moonbeam asked slowly, his gaze sweeping across the entire room.

The vast majority of people nodded subconsciously.

“That’s because…” Moonlight paused, then revealed the chilling truth, “These sixty-three powerful individuals… they are all undead!”

The word "undead" pierced everyone's heart like an ice pick!
Everyone present gasped in shock, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared intently at Yuehui, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

The word "undead" is the very thing that caused the glorious era to fall completely!

The Temple Alliance's hidden ultimate strength is actually the undead?!

Immediately, Yuehui explained the origins and deeds of the "Eternal Hero" to all the powerful figures present in detail.

When everyone heard that these sixty-three powerful individuals were the original founders and legendary heroes of the Temple Alliance, who had not only personally experienced the despair of the undead calamity, but also stood up to resist the invasion of the first generation of demons during the darkest age of mankind.

In the end, they all perished in that fierce battle against the demons, and were then reborn as undead thanks to the forbidden scroll of necromancy created by the Necromancer God.

From then on, they voluntarily fell into a slumber that lasted for six thousand years, just to become the last foundation for the survival of humankind.

This scene moved countless strong and resolute individuals in the hall to tears.

These sixty-three predecessors truly deserve the title of "Eternal Heroes"!
“Normally, such ultimate resources concerning the survival of a race should not be used lightly unless it is a matter of life and death.” Moonlight’s voice rang out again, pulling everyone back from their somber mood.

"However, these sixty-three eternal hero predecessors possess a foundation entirely different from ordinary ones." His tone shifted, his gaze sharpening.

"They originated from a glorious era, which means they possess a large number of ancient combat techniques, cultivation methods, and a complete inheritance system that have long been lost!"

"And these lost legacies are of no less importance to the Temple Alliance than their own combat power!"

"The reason why our [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Team has been able to grow so rapidly is largely because we were fortunate enough to inherit some of the ancient combat techniques!"

"This is precisely the key to our ability to achieve extraordinary feats and defy common sense."
