Chapter 991 - 497: Return to Calamity City
At this moment, after hearing the Hall Master’s words, all the Sacred Legates present nodded in agreement.
However, Long Dangdang shook his head with reluctance and said, "No, Hall Master, I cannot take over your position yet. I am too young, I am not familiar with the affairs of the Temple, and I know even less about commanding the front-line troops. Inheriting the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, I feel, is more about responsibility. My main duty is to confront the Spectral Saint Mage; other matters should still be decided by you and the other Sacred Legates."
The Hall Master frowned and said, "What’s the problem with that? Dangdang, you must realize that without the proper title, words carry less weight. You are now the Glorious Leader God’s Seal knight, and no one is more suited than you to command the 6 Great Sacred Temples."
Yet Long Dangdang still shook his head, insisting, "Hall Master, let’s talk about this matter later. Once we have resolved the current crisis, it will still not be too late. The matter of utmost urgency now is to deal with the large army of the Wraith Kingdom, as well as the strength of the Spectral Saint Mage. I am about to leave to search for the Blue Field Warm Sun Spirit Furnace, and within seven days, I will return no matter what. Once we have defeated the Wraith Kingdom, we can talk about titles and such."
As he was speaking, he had already stood up, and upon his rising, all the Sacred Legates present also stood up with him. Looking at this overly handsome young man, most of the Sacred Legates’ eyes revealed admiration. Having inherited the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex, he was neither arrogant nor restless, and he even refused to obtain the highest authority at this time. Truly exceptional.
How could they know that Long Dangdang was reluctant to accept the position of the Hall Master? Because, regardless of whether he won or lost this war, he himself would likely be headed towards tragedy!
"Alright then, major matters are priority; I won’t keep you any longer. Let me know if you need anything; the 6 Great Sacred Temples are your foundation," said the Hall Master with a hint of helplessness. He understood Long Dangdang’s decision. After all, he was still too young, and having never even been a Sacred Legate, being directly promoted to Hall Master was indeed a bit too fast. Moreover, he was the Glorious Leader God’s Seal knight, and the position of Hall Master, even that of the Federation President, would sooner or later be his. It was explicitly stated in the Federation’s laws that only the Glorious Leader God’s Seal knight is qualified to hold both positions at the same time, as the trials of the Eternity and Creation God’s Seal Cathedra Rex grant him the highest level of trust.
Long Dangdang left the meeting early; the arrangement of the troops had nothing to do with him. His task was to make himself more powerful to withstand his own mother.
When he stepped out of the large tent, his companions who had been contacted through the Sacred Legate Spirit Crystal were already waiting for him outside.
Seeing him, Ling Menglu, disregarding the presence of others, threw herself into his arms and held him tightly.
In this world, only she knew the pain Long Dangdang was enduring to face all this.
