(Thanks to 卍卍 for the generous donation!)

...

Everyone was taken aback by Yuehui's words.

They never expected that the secret to the [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Team's strength actually stemmed from a lost ancient heritage!
Moonlight reached into her collar and took out the Eternal Melody necklace engraved with Cai'er's portrait.

Seeing his actions, many people in the audience were slightly taken aback, and some even subconsciously thought that the young chairman was going to show off his affection with Cai'er in this solemn occasion.

However, what they heard was a truth that would shake the entire history of the alliance.

"Our [Eternal Dawn] Demon Hunter Guild's inheritance comes from—the Tower of Eternity. It comes from that being known as the Holy God of the Undead, the Scourge of the Undead... Elex!"

These words, which were almost a self-disclosure of their identities, exploded like a thunderclap, leaving everyone stunned and almost unable to think.

"There's no need for you to be alarmed," Moonbeam's voice remained calm. "We did not inherit the forbidden powers of necromancers. Did you know that Elex, six thousand years ago, had another identity—he was the Son of Light of that era!"

"I believe everyone understands what the 'Children of Light' means?"

These words plunged everyone present into complete chaos and an incredulous silence.

The necromancer who caused the decline of humanity's glorious era and indirectly created the current difficult situation... is actually a person favored by the light?
Can the dead and the light, two diametrically opposed forces, truly coexist in one person?

Yuehui smiled slightly as she looked at the mixture of shock, confusion, and doubt on everyone's faces.

Then, the author recounted Electrolux's tragic and eventful life in its entirety.

When he recounted how this Son of Light suffered betrayal from his loved ones, the empire's ruthless betrayal, how he was abandoned by the light he believed in, and how he watched helplessly as his loved ones died one by one before his eyes...

Everyone felt as if their hearts were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, experiencing the extreme pain that could drive even a saint to madness.

At this moment, they suddenly understood why Electrolux had become so insane and launched such a world-destroying revenge.

“I am not trying to absolve Electrox of his crimes,” Moonbeam’s voice became low and solemn.
"I just hope to present this buried historical truth to everyone in its entirety. After all, the Glorious Church has long since perished, and Electrolux... has also long since vanished into the river of time."

(Teacher, this is the last thing I can do for you.)
“From the legacy left by Electrolux, I learned a crucial piece of information,” he continued, steer the conversation back to reality.
Even if they are transformed into undead, their existence is not eternal without the maintenance and protection of a specific power... They will eventually disappear completely.

"Even the undead transformed from ninth-tier powerhouses, the limit of this existence is only one thousand years. Even if they mainly slumber, they can only maintain it for about six thousand years at most."

"In other words, the last remaining strength of our Temple Alliance, those sixty-three eternal heroes, their existence... is also coming to an end."

"It may take a few years, or it may take more than a decade, but no matter how long it takes, now is the best time to awaken them and pass on their strength and knowledge!"

"I believe that the legendary heroes of the past would be willing to pass on their life's work to future generations. But finding suitable successors for them will take time, and we must begin immediately!"

After Yuehui finished speaking, her gaze swept across the faces in the hall, whether they were shocked, thoughtful, or excited.

"So, regarding the proposal to immediately awaken the 'Eternal Heroes,' who is in favor and who is opposed?"

……

Several days later, at Yulong Pass, Knight's Holy Mountain.

This was Moonbeam's first time setting foot in this sacred ground of the Knights' Temple, after all, he was not a knight.

When they were still about a thousand meters away from the dense light mist that enveloped the entire sacred mountain, the pure and boundless aura of light within the mountain seemed to sense something and began to surge abnormally. The pale golden light mist drifted and converged uncontrollably towards the direction of the moonlight.

Moonlight could clearly sense that it was not hostility, but a kind of affection that was almost like filial piety.

The pure light elements contained within the luminous mist, like a lost child finally finding his way home, joyfully rushed towards him.

(Is this the natural attraction of the Child of Light's talent?)

Yang Haohan, who was following Yuehui, couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly when he saw this scene, and he was horrified.

Even as a knight of the God of Guardianship and Compassion, he could never achieve such a level of affinity and summoning with the light element!
He never expected that Yuehui, a lightning-type spiritual awakener, would have such an incredible affinity for the light element!

(As expected of the chairman...)
Just then, Yuehui suddenly sensed something, raised her head, and cast her gaze into the depths of the light mist.

In an instant, the dense fog in front of them, as if soldiers receiving a silent command, surged and dispersed to both sides, forming a straight passage leading into the mountain.

At the end of the passage, three elderly men, dressed in simple clothes and each with a physical disability, were rushing toward them at an extremely fast pace.

The three elders who had guarded the sacred mountain for many years were clearly taken aback by the unusual dispersion of the light mist; it was the first time they had ever seen such a sight in their lives.

However, when they saw that Yang Haohan was among the visitors, their tense emotions relaxed.

But then, an even greater surprise welled up in their hearts—they discovered that the one who triggered the strange movement of the spiritual mist on the Holy Mountain of Knights was not the Divine Seal Knight Yang Haohan, but the stunningly handsome young man with purple and gold hair beside him.

Mount Knights was almost a secluded forbidden land, so they did not know Moonshine, let alone that the outside world had undergone earth-shattering changes and the Holy Temple Federation had been established.

The young man before them was none other than the first chairman of the Federation.

"Greetings, Palace Master Yang." The three elderly guardians bowed respectfully to Yang Haohan at the same time.

“Thank you for your hard work, Elders,” Yang Haohan nodded in return, his tone solemn. “Please lead us to the sealed cave.”

As he spoke, he took out a token from his pocket.

The token was carved from a single piece of pure golden gemstone, and inscribed with countless complex and ancient Elvish scripts.

Upon seeing this token representing the highest authority, the three elders became even more respectful and bowed once more.

Then, they stepped forward in unison, surrounding Yuehui and Yang Haohan in the center, and each took out a similar but slightly smaller golden token from their pockets.

The four tokens were activated simultaneously, and their golden light suddenly intensified, intertwining and resonating with each other!
A huge golden magic circle instantly lit up beneath the five people's feet, forming a dazzling golden vortex that completely enveloped them.

The next moment, a strong spatial fluctuation came, and the figures of the five people blurred instantly and disappeared from the spot.

The golden light quickly subsided and disappeared.

As the slight dizziness subsided, Moonbeam opened his eyes and found himself in a strange cave.

The rock walls surrounding the cave are inlaid with countless pale gold gems that emit a soft glow. These gems seem to breathe slowly as if they are alive, illuminating the entire space brightly without being glaring.

(Is this the final resting place of the eternal heroes?)
