After a while, the conference room fell silent again, everyone tired of the noise.
"Let's wait for the Pope to return," someone suggested. These words immediately resonated with many.
Was it any use for them to make so much noise? It was useless, completely useless, and ultimately the Pope would have to make the final decision. Now that the Pope wasn't here, what was the point of making noise?
So everyone waited silently. However, the Pope's prolonged absence made the atmosphere a little awkward.
Seeing this, Wang Yinlan thought for a moment and then took a step forward, saying, "I know you're all worried that Ji Jiayu's addition will bring unexpected negative impacts to the Sacred Sect and our entire Guangming Clan. But if you think about it carefully, which qualities of the person in charge of the Sacred Light Pearl aren't positive and outstanding? Since you've heard of Ji Jiayu's name, what has he done that isn't worthy of praise? I don't think you should worry about any negative impact on him at all."
"That said, he's still young now and hasn't been exposed to power yet. Can you guarantee his consistency? You can guarantee that he's like this, but what about his descendants?"
"Indeed, this is uncertain."
After Wang Yinlan finished speaking, many Star Gods and Moon Gods couldn't help but quarrel again, and this time it was more serious than last time, and two of them even fought with real fire.
However, at this moment, the heavy doors of the conference hall slowly opened, and a woman with a golden veil over her face slowly floated in. The eyes of many god-level powerhouses were immediately drawn to her, but soon after, their gazes shifted back. They saw that behind the golden veil woman, there were five large humanoid monster corpses floating.
Amidst everyone's attention, the golden veil woman stepped to the top position, and the humanoid monster corpses fell to the ground beside her, emitting a faint demonic aura.
Seeing this, many god-level powerhouses had mixed feelings. They had long known that the crisis in the Holy City wasn't just the Luna-level sin demons, but also several other, more terrifying beings and their plots. The Pope and several senior Moon Gods of the Holy Sect would be dealing with those things. Otherwise, how could the Pope and those senior Moon Gods allow the sin demons to run wild in the Holy City?
"This is... the Light and Dark Demon?" The tenth-level Myoshen asked, his tone slightly uncertain. After all, the Light and Dark Demons had withdrawn from the stage of history for too long, and it had been so long that a new generation of tenth-level Myoshen like him had only heard of the Light and Dark Demons but had never seen them."
The golden-veiled woman, the great prophet and pope of the Sacred Sect, spoke softly, causing several Ming gods to gasp.
At the same time, many Ming gods also understood in their hearts why the Pope and the senior Moon God had been gone for so long.
The Light and Dark Demon Clan was a larger and more powerful branch of the Demon Realm's Demon Clan, and was also the main opponent of the Light Clan during the Cataclysm. Among them, the Light Demon Clan was skilled at manipulating light and absorbing sunlight and the energy generated by sunlight.
A common enemy with the Light Clan. Under normal circumstances, the Light Clan and the Light Demon Clan could fight, but when the Light Demon Clan had the assistance of the Dark Demon Clan, the Light Clan was no match for the Light Demon Clan.
Furthermore, the Light Demon Clan and the Dark Demon Clan were themselves one clan, but neither side recognized this.
Both light and dark demons were parthenogenic, and intermarriage was forbidden between the two races. However, there were often demons of light and dark attributes who fused privately, and many even produced offspring. However, most of their offspring were ugly and deformed, and they died at birth. Only a small number of light and dark attribute offspring survived, thus becoming a hybrid demon of light and dark.
There was once a hybrid demon of light and dark attributes who cultivated to the eleventh-level Moon God and was one of the strongest individuals likely to break through to the twelfth-level Great Heavenly God before the Warcraft Star crashed into the Falan Star.
At this moment, beside the Pope, lay the corpses of a light demon, a dark demon, and a hybrid demon of light and dark attributes. Among them, the Light Demons had wings on their backs, two curved fleshy antennae on their foreheads, and their skin was as white as jade. Furthermore, like the Light Clan, the entire Light Demon Clan was female. The Dark Demons had bony antennae, while the entire race was male.
The Light and Dark Demons' hybrid bodies: the left half was a female body of the Light Demon Clan, and the right half was a male body of the Dark Demon Clan, with curved fleshy antennae and a thick bone antennae on their foreheads. Similarly, the wings on their backs were white on the left and black on the right, distinctly different.
"Parts of the Light and Dark Demon Races have revived and are attacking the Holy City, and some have awakened. What do you think about the future?" The Great Prophet's voice was cold.
"The Demon Race has revived and is invading the territories and seas of the French Star. This is not our clan's responsibility. We must seek external assistance. There is a way to become a god."
"This is a common matter, but do you have to seek external assistance for everything?" The Great Prophet asked, "Is that true for all matters, big and small?"
"Of course not."
"Then let's talk about our own response plan."
"Rely on the Sacred Pearl, rely on Ji Jiayu."
"Then why are people helping us? Did we save his life? Give him a new lease on life? Even so, he's repaid it two or three times over for our sacred Chenghai, so why should he fight for us for the rest of his life?"
"If you don't give him equal respect and treatment, even if he's willing to repay now, what about the future? The Pope has already laid these corpses before you, don't you understand?"
"We're about to face the demon threat, and there's no time to hesitate. If we hesitate any longer, we'll have no future."
Some opponents fell silent upon hearing this. Before, they could still console themselves that it was too early for the demons to recover and attack, and that wasn't something they should consider right now. But now that the demon corpse was before their eyes, they could no longer deceive themselves.
As the main demon branches of the Demon Realm, the Light and Dark Demon Races were about to recover, so it wouldn't be long before other branches of the Demon Clan would recover. Was a second cataclysmic war coming? If that were the case, there was indeed no point in wondering whether Ji Jiayu could join the Holy Sect.
The Great Prophet spoke again, "Then this matter is settled. Let Ji Jiayu join the Holy Sect and begin his career as a priest."
The Great Prophet made the final decision, and no one else objected.
When Wang Yinlan heard this, she immediately revealed a surprised smile, and she couldn't wait to go back and tell Ji Jiayu about it immediately. However, she felt that Ji Jiayu probably didn't know what this meant.
"Also, start preparing for war; war is coming."
After the Great Prophet said this, he waved his right hand lightly, and the demon clan corpse suddenly turned into a small golden light and disappeared into invisibility.
