Chapter 720: Federal Chairman (Part 1) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 19, 2025
After returning to the Saint Alliance headquarters, the wrap-up work of the Saint Alliance Great Trial Field was not mentioned. Instead, the preparatory work for the establishment meeting of the new alliance was already in full swing. The meeting was scheduled to begin tomorrow, and how long it would ultimately last would depend on how long it took the six great temples to reach a consensus.
Long Haochen and his companions did not rest upon their return, but held meetings and research until the evening.
As Long Haochen had anticipated, Yaoge was reliable. Just as their meeting ended, Lin Xin returned.
“Yaoge, why are you only back now? Our meeting is over, and the Saint Temple Competition ended early,” Chen Ying’er said to Lin Xin.
Lin Xin’s expression was unusually serious, and he said, “I already know. Team leader, I’ve been studying the Holy Yang Curse with my grandfather these past few days, so…”
Long Haochen nodded and said, “We’re all brothers, you don’t need to explain anything. Sit down, and I’ll tell you what we discussed, and see if you have any suggestions.”
Lin Xin agreed and sat down opposite Long Haochen, saying, “Team leader, before you speak, I have something to report to you. Before I came back, Palace Master Li Zhengzhi found me and asked me to give you a message. He said that when the new alliance is elected, if our Dawn of Light can ensure that only one person from each profession is selected, he will fully support us.”
Hearing this, Long Haochen couldn’t help but smile. “Palace Master Li and I thought alike. The establishment of the new alliance will change many things. In some ways, it will touch the interests of the six great temples. To avoid problems, we must first achieve balance. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
The night passed without incident. The next morning, in the conference hall of the Saint Alliance headquarters, the top representatives of the six great temples and the strong representatives of the demon hunter groups all arrived.
As agreed, each of the six great temples sent thirty-six people to attend the meeting, which was the same group that participated in the Saint Temple Competition. On the demon hunter side, in addition to the legendary powerhouse Chen Zidian and the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group, there were also more than twenty representatives from demon hunter groups of at least king-level or higher, also forming thirty-six people. In total, seven parties participated in this grand event, with two hundred and fifty-two people.
However, only fewer than ten people were able to sit on the podium. From left to right, they were: Temple Master Qiu Yonghao of the Warrior Temple, Temple Master Shengyue of the Assassin Temple, Temple Master Li Zhengzhi of the Mage Temple, legendary powerhouse Chen Zidian, Long Haochen, the leader of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group, Temple Master Yang Haohan of the Knight Temple, Temple Master Chen Hongyu of the Soul Temple, and Temple Master Ling Xiao of the Priest Temple.
The seating arrangement showed the significant advantage that Long Haochen and the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group gained by winning the Saint Temple Competition. Without such outstanding achievements, given his previous status in the alliance, he would never have been qualified to be on the podium unless the Knight Temple elevated him to the new temple master.
Presiding over the meeting was the previous Saint Alliance leader, Knight Temple Master, wielder of the Divine Throne of Guardian and Compassion, God-Sealed Knight of Defense and Command of the Knight Temple, Yang Haohan.
“Now that everyone is here, let’s begin the meeting.” Yang Haohan’s calm voice echoed in the hall. There was no need for any amplification equipment, as his voice could clearly reach everyone’s ears.
“First, I would like to congratulate the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group on winning the final championship in the recently concluded Saint Temple Competition.” As he spoke, Yang Haohan took the lead in applauding. The strong members of the six great temples and the representatives of the demon hunter groups immediately followed suit, and enthusiastic applause rang out in the conference hall. This was not to flatter Long Haochen and his group, but was from the bottom of their hearts, a sign of their admiration.
Long Haochen stood up, punched his left chest with his right fist, gave a standard knight’s salute to all the meeting participants, and then bowed to Yang Haohan again to express his gratitude.
Yang Haohan said, “In order to reflect the fairness of this meeting, each participating party, whether it’s the six great temples or the demon hunter groups, has exactly thirty-six members, including those of us on the podium.”
“After many consultations, the six great temples under our alliance have finally unified their opinions and decided to establish a new alliance to better integrate the power of the six great temples and fight against the demons. Now, I will ask again, does anyone have any objections to the establishment of the new alliance? If so, please raise your hand.”
Yang Haohan’s majestic gaze swept around, and seeing that no one raised their hand, he continued, “Good, since no one objects, let’s begin the agenda for the new alliance. Now, I will first explain the method of establishment and composition of the new alliance.”
“Our Saint Alliance has been established for more than six thousand years. For more than six thousand years, we have been constantly accumulating strength to fight against the demons, and finally gradually gained a foothold. However, just when we thought we were safe and even had the strength to fight back against the demons, the demons dealt us a heavy blow. I believe everyone remembers the Holy War more than four years ago very clearly. In that Holy War, the alliance suffered heavy losses. A large number of strong warriors perished in the war. It can be said that if the Demon God Emperor had not failed to lead the three most powerful races of the demons to participate in the war, that Holy War would have likely led to the destruction of the alliance and caused untold suffering.”
“Therefore, we have also become more aware that a loosely structured alliance is not enough to fight against the demons. If we cannot bring out the advantages of our human combat professions, we will never be able to gain an advantage in the confrontation with the demons. Therefore, the six great temples have unified their opinions and decided to establish a new alliance.”
“The alliance’s confrontation with the demons requires a unified voice. We must fully integrate and concentrate the power of the alliance, and highly centralize power, just like a country, with strict orders and prohibitions, so that the strong warriors of our six great temples can cooperate with each other like demon hunter groups, and maximize their combat power. Therefore, we have decided that the new alliance will be renamed the Saint Temple Federation, and the six great temples will govern separately, and it will be changed to central governance. The Federation will have one chairman, six vice-chairmen, and a Federal Parliament with thirty-six resident members.”

“On some major issues, the Federal Parliament will vote. Each vice-chairman has two votes. The chairman has five votes. At the same time, the chairman has the right to veto. If the six vice-chairmen agree, or more than 80% of the members of the parliament agree, they can impeach the chairman for mistakes.”
Changing the alliance to a federation, as well as all these new rules, were decisions made after countless consultations between the six great temples.
In order to be as fair as possible and to restrict the problem of excessive central power, the high-level officials of the six great temples can be said to have racked their brains. Finally, they managed to unify their opinions.
The importance of this Saint Temple Competition lies in the selection of the chairman. According to the results discussed by the six great temples earlier, whichever temple won the Saint Temple Competition, the leader would be from that temple.
This is why the Knight Temple even invited Yang Haoyu, the strongest knight who had been in seclusion, out.
After the establishment of the new federation, the authority of the federal chairman will be extremely great. Although it cannot be compared with the emperor of an imperial system, it is also a word of great weight. At critical moments, they can even use the veto power. Moreover, which temple the federal chairman belongs to will definitely be beneficial to that temple. Therefore, the competition between all parties is so fierce.
“If you have any objections to the central organization established by the new federation, please raise your hand.” Yang Haohan said in a deep voice.
For the new federation, the meeting has been going on for five years. If the opinions had not been unified, it would not have reached this point. Yang Haohan’s inquiry at this time was just a formality. Sure enough, it passed unanimously.
Yang Haohan nodded and said, “Okay, next we will nominate candidates for the chairman and vice-chairman and vote. Chairman candidate, Long Haochen, leader of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group. Vice-chairman candidates: Long Tianyin, Temple Master of the Knight Temple, Li Zhengzhi, Temple Master of the Mage Temple, Ling Xiao, Temple Master of the Priest Temple, Chen Hongyu, Temple Master of the Soul Temple, Qiu Yonghao, Temple Master of the Warrior Temple, and Shengyue, Temple Master of the Assassin Temple.”
“Everyone should be familiar with the six temple masters. Next, I will briefly introduce the chairman candidate, Long Haochen. Long Haochen, male, age 25, occupation: Retribution and Guardian dual-cultivation knight. Leader of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group. Innate inner spiritual power is full, the physique of the Son of Light. Ninth-level second-order holy knight, already qualified to obtain the approval of the Divine Throne. Long Haochen won the final championship in the Demon Hunter Group selection competition, thus forming the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group. He has led the team to kill more than four demon gods, and unprecedentedly destroyed two demon god pillars. And during the Holy War, he made great contributions to the Knight Temple, Assassin Temple, Warrior Temple, and Mage Temple. In this Saint Temple Competition, he led the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Group to win the final championship. Therefore, he was nominated as a chairman candidate. If you have any objections to the nomination of the chairman candidate, please raise your hand.”
Although many people already had a certain understanding of Long Haochen, when everyone heard Yang Haohan narrate Long Haochen’s resume, especially when he mentioned his age of only twenty-five years old, it still caused some low-voiced discussions. Fortunately, in the end, no one raised their hand to express their opposition.
Yang Haohan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid of problems arising in this link. Although he could use the principle of the minority obeying the majority to pass the resolution, it would still have a negative impact on Long Haochen’s future rule in the new federation.
“Okay, since everyone has no objections, the chairman candidate is determined. Does everyone have any objections or suggestions to the nomination of the six vice-chairmen?”
The strong warriors of the six great temples below the stage still had nothing to say. But at this moment, an accident happened. Chen Hongyu, the Temple Master of the Soul Temple sitting on the podium, suddenly raised his hand and said, “I have an objection.”
