They were none other than Elder Konta and the mirror-wielding banshee.
Napori walked toward them while explaining to Angor.
"Elder Konta used a sealed space to isolate the ghost aura from the outside world, then used the cold air in the cooling pool to extinguish the berserk flame of the mirror banshee. Finally, he used the crystal coffin to suppress the banshee.
"That's why we're in a stalemate now."
Napori glanced at the crystal veins protruding from Elder Konta's neck and sighed. "It must be hard on him."
Before Naboli could respond, he heard a cold humph. "You're here, so come and help. Don't just stand there and watch."
It was Elder Konta.
At this time, Elder Konta had stopped chanting and opened his eyes. He was staring at Napoli with his round eyes.
Napori scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm coming."
He thought Elder Konta was too focused on chanting to notice them.
"Chanting? Your mother's curse! I was cursing at someone, and I was cursing at you! " Elder Kong Ta frowned coldly and his eyes were filled with killing intent. His target was not the mirror-wielding demoness in the ice coffin, but Napoli.
"Back then, I don't know if you were possessed or replaced by 'it' in the mirror. You actually managed to summon the Mirror Demoness."
"Are you trying to bring the entire Embryo Factory down with you?!"
"This is a critical moment. You're not trying to save the world. You're trying to drag us down with you!"
Elder Konta kept scolding. Napori watched Elder Konta trying his best to suppress the banshee and did not know what to say. He could only say weakly, "Why don't you scold me later? Aren't I here now?"
"You said you wanted me to help. What do you want me to do?"
Elder Konta sneered. "You're covered in fire from the inside out. What can you do?"
Napori smiled awkwardly and did not dare to talk back.
"Tell me. Did you manage to suppress the stone?"
Napoli nodded. "The Forbidden Stone has been suppressed and has been brought out of the Equipment Embryo Factory."
Hearing that the Forbidden Stone was no longer in the Equipment Embryo Factory, Elder Kong Ta's face finally relaxed a little. "At least we've done something."
Napoli rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Uh, what should I do now?"
"What do we do now?" Elder Kong Ta first lowered his voice, then sneered and suddenly raised his voice. "The only thing you can do now is to obediently stand aside and listen to my scolding!"
"That's what you can help with, understand?"
Previously, when Elder Konta was alone in the sealed space, he had been muttering and cursing silently, but he still felt annoyed. Now that the culprit, Napoli, was in front of him, he had to curse him from the beginning to the end until his toes were stretched out!
Napoli froze. So, he was asked to help just to stand there and be scolded?
"But, the prototype refined by the Mirror Demoness is better than the others … This means that my decision is right." In order not to be scolded, Naboli weakly retorted.
Hearing that, Elder Kong Ta was even more infuriated. "No matter how good her prototype is, can her performance alone be better than everybody in the Equipment Embryo Factory?
"Once the aura of the Ghost Hunter causes a disaster, none of the craftsmen here will be able to escape!
"Besides, the best furnaces, equipment, shells, puppets, and raw materials of the Crystal Eye Clan are all stored in the Equipment Embryo Factory. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong with them? You? Are you qualified to be responsible?
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are Lord Dirk's assistant!
"Besides, Lord Dirk can't come up with any countermeasures when faced with Xiulifa, the Woe Puppet. He still has to rely on Lord Dreamy Mirror to fight for a way out!"
The more Elder Kong Ta scolded, the angrier he became. He was not just scolding Napori, but also Algalon.
Napori didn't care if he was scolded, but when he heard that Lord Dirk was scolded too, his eyes were burning, and he was about to retort.
However, Elder Kong Ta sniffed and pointed at the Mirror Demoness sealed in the ice coffin. "Why don't you do it?"
Napori didn't know anything about ice coffins, so he immediately gave up.
Seeing Napori lowering his head obediently, Elder Kong Ta snorted and continued scolding.
However, rather than scolding Napoli, he was actually venting his anger …
Helplessness in the face of the Woe Doomsday, fear of death, and worry about the "hope" of the login device, which no one knew if it would work or not.
All of his pent-up emotions were released because of the scene caused by the Mirror Demoness.
Therefore, although Elder Kong Ta seemed to be scolding Napori, he was actually using the words to release the pressure in his heart.
They went on like this for ten minutes.
Elder Konta finally calmed down and waved his hand at Napoli, motioning him to get out of the way.
Napori really wanted to say that he was the person in charge of the Equipment Embryo Factory. Elder Kong Ta wasn't giving him face by telling him to leave.
However, when he thought about Elder Kong Ta's temper and how much the Crystal Eye Clan had sacrificed to build the factory, he kept his mouth shut.
After pushing Napori away, Elder Kong Ta finally looked at Angor and Laplace.
"You two are —"
Elder Kong Ta already saw them, but he didn't know who they were, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Napori wanted to help introduce them, but Angor beat him to it. "I'm Angor, and this is Laplace."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Kong Ta's pupils suddenly shrank.
"You … You're Angor? No, excuse my rudeness, but you're Mister Angor?! "
"You know me?" Angor looked at the old man's sudden change of attitude and asked, "You know me?"
"I've heard of your name before, mister." "You … you may not know my name, but your name is already engraved in the spirit tablet of the Council of Elders," Venerable Kota said excitedly while staring at Angor's face. "You … you may not know my name, but your name is already engraved in the spirit tablet."
"Huh? Spirit tablet? "
Elder Kong Ta nodded quickly. "Yes."
"What's a spirit tablet?"
Following Elder Konta's explanation, Angor began to understand the situation.
The spirit tablet could be considered as a "book of investiture". Only those who made great contributions to the Crystal Eye Clan's civilization would have their names recorded in it.
It was similar to the "spiritual leader" of the Crystal Eye Clan, who would be respected by countless Crystal Eye Clan members.
The Crystal Eye Clan's civilization had existed for tens of thousands of years, but only a dozen names were recorded in the tablet.
The last one to be engraved on the tablet was … Tunita.
Two thousand years after Tunita's death, someone else finally got on the tablet. And this person wasn't a Crystal Eye Clan member. He didn't even belong to the White Sun Mirror Region. Instead, he was a human from the south.
Of course, this caused a great commotion among the council of elders.
Almost ninety percent of the elders objected to the idea. They would never allow an outsider to be engraved on the tablet.
However, when Prophet Jota told them about Angor's recent achievements, the Council of Elders began to change their minds. Angor was the only craftsman who made the logger, the Deliverer of Saint Corpse, and the leader of a new world.
All these titles were given to Angor. Perhaps these achievements weren't meant for the Crystal Eye Clan, but they had to admit that the Crystal Eye Clan benefited greatly from these achievements.
Who didn't have a few ancestors? Who didn't want their loved ones to return?
Angor did something that no other Crystaleye Race member could achieve.
Even if Angor was a human, he was still qualified to be engraved on the tablet. In fact, looking back tens of thousands of years, there were probably not many people who could do better than him.
After hearing this news, even the most xenophobic elders had to lower their heads.
In the end, all the elders agreed.
Angor's name was added to the tablet.
In a way, Angor was now the spiritual leader of the Crystal Eye Clan.
However, as the person involved in all this, Angor was still puzzled. How did he become the spiritual leader of the Crystal Eye Clan without knowing it?
On the other side, Napoli showed a look of realization.
No wonder Elder Konta kept cursing at him the whole time. But when he heard it was Angor, he immediately changed his attitude.
Well …
Angor was a little jealous.
Napoli looked at Angor with a gloomy look. Angor looked at the excited elder and asked, "Can the name on the tablet be removed?"
"Huh?" Elder Konta was surprised.
"Nothing. I'm just a little surprised. This is the first time I've heard of this. "
"Don't bother me. We'll pay our respects in silence. This is the highest honor we can give to our benefactor, and also our respect. "
In other words, this was the reason why Prophet Jota didn't tell Angor.
Of course, Angor didn't believe it.
He believed that Jota was treating him as a "spiritual symbol" during this sensitive period.
Or rather, a hope in the face of doom.
If there was no hope for a race or a civilization, there would only be death left. But Jota also knew that the Crystal Eye Clan couldn't save the world. In the face of calamity, the Crystal Eye Clan was like a fragile bubble that could burst at any time.
Jota knew this, and so did the Crystal Eye Clan.
Therefore, if Jota wanted to create a god and give his people a "spiritual support", he couldn't choose someone from the Crystal Eye Clan.
It was at this time that the Crystal Eye Clan clansmen connected to the log-in device and saw their ancestor, who was transformed from the Saint Corpse Crystal, in the Dream Crystal.
When the descendants saw their ancestors who had passed away, they would naturally be surprised and confused.
Jota must have used this chance to make Angor into a "spiritual symbol" so that his people could still see hope in the face of despair.
Angor understood Jota's intention, but he didn't like the fact that Jota acted on his own without consulting him first.
But when he thought about how the tablet wouldn't do him any harm, Angor decided to let it go for now.
Yes, for now.
This was because he was facing Elder Konta, not Prophet Jota.
He would "decide" whether he could truly let it go when he saw Prophet Jota.
As for how to decide?
The Art of Darkness wasn't bad.
Angor shook off his wandering thoughts and looked at Elder Konta again.
He was about to ask Elder Konta if he could get some "authority" as a "spiritual leader". But before he could say anything, his attention was attracted by the ice coffin not far away.
Elder Konta also noticed that Angor seemed to be looking behind him.
He followed Angor's gaze and looked back.
The crystal ice coffin floating in the air had slowly stopped trembling.
The previous trembling was caused by the struggling demoness inside. Now that the ice coffin stopped shaking, it meant that the demoness had woken up.
Elder Konta quickly looked at the demoness' eyes.
As expected.
Previously, the eyes of the mirror-wielding demoness were pitch black. Now, the whites of her eyes had returned to normal, and her pupils had returned to their usual deep state.
She looked a little lost.
The struggling blue veins on her face had also disappeared.
She looked tired, but she didn't look too ferocious.
Seeing this, Elder Kong Ta breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not difficult for him to suppress the Mirror Demoness, in this pure white space filled with cold air, it was still very annoying to deal with a Mirror Demon that was constantly yelling and squeaking.
"She's awake." Elder Konta stood up, rubbed his sore legs, and walked to the ice coffin.
With a wave of his hand, the ice coffin in mid-air slowly fell to the ground. However, it was still standing, and the face of the demoness happened to be facing Elder Kong Ta, who was standing outside the coffin.
"If you're awake, follow my example." Elder Konta reached out both hands and quickly made several difficult hand seals in front of the demoness.
The demoness remained silent for a few seconds. She put down the prism mirror in her hand and reached into the ice coffin to mimic the hand seals.
When the hand seals were finished, Elder Konta spoke again, "Alright. Now do the hand seals again. This time, add energy to your fingertips."
The mirror-wielding demoness did as Elder Kong Ta instructed.
Her slender hands flickered with a dim light as she completed the complicated hand seals.
The crystal ice coffin slowly dissipated, turning into an oval of soft mud that fell into Elder Konta's hand.
Clearly, the hand seals were the key to opening the ice coffin.
However, Elder Konta had set the ice coffin to be opened from the inside.
He could also use the hand seals to test if the demoness had regained her sanity. Now it seemed that she had.
When the ice coffin disappeared, the demoness held the prism mirror with both hands again and retreated ten meters away.
Then she looked at everyone deeply and slowly floated in the air. She closed her eyes as if she was recovering her strength.
But a moment later, the demoness opened her eyes and looked around blankly.
Although the demoness didn't speak, her expression said everything. Naboli walked forward and said, "This is an isolated space that isolates the aura of the Ghost Realm."
"If you want to use the aura of the Ghost Realm to recover your energy, you can't do it here."
The mirror-wielding demoness glanced at Napoli and gently tapped the mirror in her hand.
A pair of lips with dark lipstick appeared in the mirror.
The lips moved up and down, and a slightly cold voice came from it.
"… Where's my Ghost Realm Stone?"
