Since Chen Hongyu had expressed dissatisfaction after the domain battle yesterday, his sudden interjection of opinion caused a stir among the crowd, who all turned to look at him in unison.

Chen Hongyu stood up, his expression calm, and said, “Regarding the proposal to make me the vice-chairman of the alliance, I object.”

Yang Haohan looked at him in surprise, and asked with doubt, “Brother Chen, you should think carefully, you represent the Soul Temple.”

Chen Hongyu said calmly, “I have thought it through. It is enough for me to be a council member. This vice-chairman position should be given to the new temple master of our Soul Temple.”

“What? New temple master?” His words caused another uproar. It should be known that the Soul Temple is different from the Knight Temple, and there has always been only one temple master. The change of temple master in the Soul Temple is an extremely important matter for the Holy Temple Alliance. The key is that no one had received any news before. Chen Hongyu’s words were too sudden.

Chen Hongyu said calmly, “What’s so strange about that? Our Soul Temple has always been democratic, and the position of temple master is held by the capable. Chen Ying’er in my temple has reached the ninth rank in cultivation, and possesses a Beast God Domain that surpasses mine. She is also the first Holy Maiden of the Soul Temple, and has inherited the holy artifact Soul Holy Garment. It is most appropriate for her to serve as the temple master of my Soul Temple. Therefore, my nomination for this vice-chairman should naturally be given to her. Last night, we in the Soul Temple reached a unified opinion internally.”

The expressions of those sitting on the chairman’s stage could be described as varied, and Long Haochen also looked surprised. The other temple masters almost all cursed in their hearts, “Old sly fox.”

Wasn’t he an old sly fox? Chen Hongyu’s performance in the Holy Temple Great Competition was simply brilliant. He not only confronted Long Haochen in the competition, but also questioned him after the domain battle. But at this critical moment, he made a one hundred and eighty degree turn, directly giving the position of temple master to Chen Ying’er. This meant that two members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad would occupy important positions in the Holy Temple Federation. At the same time, with one of the vice-chairmen belonging to the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad, it also meant that the six vice-chairmen could never unite to impeach Long Haochen, the chairman, in the future. This favor was a big one.

Even Li Zhengzhi couldn’t help but secretly sigh in his heart, “What a calculation!” Chen Hongyu was the first to jump out and give way, which was not only shocking, but also allowed the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad to appreciate his kindness, and also indirectly sold the Knight Temple a favor, which could be said to be killing multiple birds with one stone.

As Chen Hongyu spoke, he had already walked down from the chairman’s stage, gave Chen Ying’er, who was in the Demon Hunt Squad, a gesture, and then sat down leisurely on the Soul Temple side.

Chen Ying’er was also confused by her grandfather, but she couldn’t not show up at this time! She had no choice but to walk onto the chairman’s stage under the gaze of everyone and sit down in Chen Hongyu’s previous position.

At this moment, the temple master of the Assassin Temple, Sheng Yue, said in annoyance, “This old thing is really fast, stealing my thunder. I also disagree with the proposal for me. The temple master of our Assassin Temple has also changed, with Cai’er taking over the position of temple master. I don’t need to say more about Cai’er’s abilities, right? Everyone has seen her Purification Domain. Moreover, she is the inheritor of the God of Death, possessing the Samsara Spiritual Stove like the Son of Reincarnation back then. In a sense, she has inherited the mantle of the Son of Reincarnation and surpassed him. As early as when she completed this inheritance more than ten years ago, she was already the designated successor in my Assassin Temple. Cai’er, come up. From now on, you are the temple master of the Assassin Temple, and also my Assassin Temple’s candidate for the new Federation’s vice-chairman.”

Long Haochen was not too surprised by Sheng Yue’s proposal. After all, Sheng Yue had stated a long time ago that he would let Cai’er take over his position. In this way, Cai’er also walked up from below. For a time, there were already three people on the chairman’s stage who were from the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad.

Yang Haohan said, “Since that’s the case, let’s continue the meeting. Does anyone else have any opinions?”

He asked this subconsciously, but he didn’t expect that there was a response.

Qiu Yonghao, the temple master of the Warrior Temple, suddenly stood up and said, “I also want to give way, I’m old and useless. Under my leadership, the Warrior Temple achieved the worst result in history in this Holy Temple Great Competition. I really have no face to continue serving as temple master. Last night, I discussed with the principals of this temple, and today I will pass the position of temple master of the Warrior Temple to the most promising young person in this temple. I hope that under her leadership, the Warrior Temple will be able to play a greater role in the Federation’s fight against the demons in the future. Yuanyuan, please come on stage.”

“Ah? Me?” Wang Yuanyuan was completely stunned when she saw Qiu Yonghao’s gaze fixed on her.

Qiu Yonghao smiled slightly and said, “Isn’t it you? Among the younger generation of our Warrior Temple, is there anyone who can compare with you? I have seen all the efforts you have made. The future is the world of you young people.” As he spoke, he had already walked out of his position.

At this moment, everyone on the chairman’s stage could be said to be in shock.

Sheng Yue gave way to Cai’er because Cai’er was originally his successor, and also his granddaughter. Although Chen Hongyu’s abdication was a bit sudden, Chen Ying’er’s situation in the Soul Temple was similar to Cai’er’s in the Assassin Temple. However, the temple master of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao, could be said to have no connection with Wang Yuanyuan. Since Wang Yuanyuan became a member of the Demon Hunt Squad, she had never returned to the Warrior Temple! But at this moment, he decisively passed the position of temple master of the Warrior Temple to Wang Yuanyuan. It had to be said that Qiu Yonghao was decisive enough.

This idea of Qiu Yonghao’s was not something he had just come up with. When Wang Yuanyuan returned, approached him, and showed her ninth-rank strength, Qiu Yonghao had an idea in his heart. Wang Yuanyuan might still have a gap compared to Long Haochen, Cai’er, and the others. However, in the Warrior Temple, there was absolutely no one who could compare with her in the future. Even in the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad, she was ranked near the top, and was already a strong person with a domain. In addition, her status as a member of the Dawn of Light made her the most suitable to represent the Warrior Temple.

Qiu Yonghao knew Wang Yuanyuan’s personality very well. He believed that after Wang Yuanyuan inherited the position of temple master of the Warrior Temple, she would definitely make due contributions to the future of the Warrior Temple.

Under Qiu Yonghao’s encouraging gaze, Wang Yuanyuan stood up and strode onto the chairman’s stage. When she came to Qiu Yonghao, her eyes couldn’t help but turn a little red, “Grandpa Qiu, I…”

Qiu Yonghao smiled slightly, patted her shoulder, and said, “There’s no need to say anything, I’m not doing it for you, but for the future of our Warrior Temple. I believe you will definitely do well.” As he spoke, he personally pulled out his previous chair and pressed Wang Yuanyuan into it. He himself breathed a sigh of relief and walked off the chairman’s stage to sit among the Warrior Temple’s powerhouses.

The election of the chairman and vice-chairmen had not yet begun, but such a big change had already occurred. Yang Haohan, who was presiding over the meeting, was also greatly surprised. But the meeting had to continue. Although there were changes, fortunately, it would not affect the subsequent elections.

The subsequent election process was surprisingly smooth. Long Haochen was successfully elected as the first chairman of the Holy Temple Federation, and the vice-chairmen were Long Tianyin, Li Zhengzhi, Ling Xiao, Cai’er, Chen Ying’er, and Wang Yuanyuan. Of these seven most important positions, the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad occupied four in one fell swoop.

The reason why no one objected was because the proposers were the original temple masters, and also because of the strong performance of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad in the Holy Temple Great Competition. Whether it was Long Haochen, Cai’er, Chen Ying’er, or Wang Yuanyuan, they were all domain powerhouses! Under the leadership of these young domain powerhouses, the future development of their respective temples would definitely be greatly beneficial.

After the chairman and vice-chairmen were elected, it was the election of the council members. The standard was six members from each of the six major temples, for a total of thirty-six council members. These thirty-six people did not include the chairman and vice-chairmen.

For the major temples, Long Haochen serving as the first chairman of the Holy Temple Federation was an acceptable situation. Therefore, the subsequent council member election also proceeded very smoothly. In less than two hours, all the elections were over.

Yang Haohan said, “The election is over. Next, the Federation will arrange to inform the public. We will strive to announce the establishment of the Federation to all mankind within a month. At the same time, the Federation has many affairs to deal with. The integration of the six major temples is the top priority. Next, let us invite the first chairman of our Holy Temple Federation to say a few words.”

Long Haochen nodded to Yang Haohan, and then rose to salute the powerhouses of the six major temples present, before saying in his clear voice, “I am very honored that everyone has elected me as the first chairman of the Federation. I feel a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. According to the rules just mentioned by Temple Master Yang, each Federation government can govern for ten years, and re-elections will be held after ten years. Perhaps, the various systems of our new Federation are not yet perfect, but I believe that the Federation will definitely get better and better in the future.”

“The most important point of the establishment of the Federation is to integrate the advantages of the six major temples and resist the demons. The top priority next is also in this regard. As the chairman of the Federation, I can guarantee to everyone that in the next ten years of my term of office, I will definitely lead the Federation to launch a counterattack against the demons and strive to recover some lost territories during my term. In my lifetime, I will strive to lead the Federation out of the darkness and end this dark age that has lasted for more than six thousand years.”
