The identities of Vivian and Lily would not be made public immediately.
In fact, Hao Ren knew this from the beginning. The first and fourteenth sages — this incident had a shocking impact on the demon hunters, especially in this unstable situation. All the demon hunters had begun to doubt their beliefs. At this time, if you told them that the history of the demon hunters in the past 6,000 years was a joke, the consequences might not be a psychotic break.
Psychotic break was inevitable, but there was no hope of a cure.
So, the identities of Vivian and Lily would still be kept a secret. But at the right time, these things would slowly and gradually spread out.
After a serious and contentious secret meeting, supported by Gregowen's memory, various antique documents, physical evidence, and Lily's memory testimony, the elders had admitted the two things. One was the fact that Vivian was the fourteenth sage, and the other was the identity of Lily, the reincarnation of the first sage. Of course, not everyone believed this 100%. Almost all the participants had doubts about this matter more or less. But overall, the identity of Battie and Doggie was an established fact. The doubts of the elders were understandable, but it would not affect the overall situation.
At this stage, the shocking truth would only be spread among the elder demon hunters. Later, they would slowly tell the truth to their reliable assistants and apprentices, including the masters of the new Council of Elders. At the same time, they would also organize people to explore the library and antique treasure house in the Netherrealm Clock Tower, gradually revealing part of the truth in the process. Next, they would prepare for public opinion and build momentum to pave the way for the truth through the discussion of the War of Demon Hunters.
This involved a lot of problems: guiding public opinion, building momentum, maintaining stability, and ensuring the right to speak. Each problem was unimaginably troublesome for Hao Ren, but Hao Ren did not have to worry about it. The wise elders would take care of everything. Moreover, Hao Ren also believed that the demon hunters would be able to overcome these difficulties. They had not lost their strong organizational strength and obedience, which was their biggest reliance at the moment.
Next to a small temple next to the Stellar Spire, Hao Ren and a few demon hunters stood on a high ground, watching the Eldar technicians calibrating the teleportation portal. Although there was still half a month before the return journey, the technical experts of the demonic army had already begun to prepare for the journey home. These army portals required a huge amount of energy, and Lanina did not intend to trouble Hao Ren to solve the energy problem this time. The Eldars were trying to connect the army portals to the energy nodes everywhere in Coldpath, using the energy network left by the goddess of creation to power the portals.
The technician's experiment was fruitful. Earlier this morning, they had successfully used the ancient energy of Coldpath to power a portal … and then blew it up.
Lanina said there was no need to worry as there was no technical problem. The reason why the portal exploded was that Y 'lisabet was passing by the portal. Although they were not sure what the little princess had removed from the portal, she must have removed it.
"Fate has really played a nasty joke on us," Hasse said, standing next to Hao Ren. He looked at the noisy demons and demons in the square with his only eye and said in a low voice, "The 'noble ideal' of the demon hunters for 6,000 years, the mission that many people have pursued for a lifetime, turned out to be just an illusion created by the whisper of a fallen weapon in our minds. The supreme leaders of the demon hunter organization … one is a vampire, and the other has now become … a werewolf. "
Hasse pondered for a while, but in the end, he did not call Lily a husky like Hao Ren.
"Will you acknowledge this' supreme leader '?" Hao Ren looked at the old demon hunter with a faint smile.
Hasse calmly replied, "What do you think?"
Hao Ren waved his hand indifferently. "It's okay. Anyway, the two of them are not interested in coming to this godforsaken place to help you rebuild. Coldpath … it's too small a stage for what we're usually busy with. "
Hasse was silent. His only eye was flashing. No one knew what he was thinking.
"But you always have to remember," Hao Ren continued. "From a moral and logical point of view, you have these two 'supreme leaders'. Lily may have died once and stepped down, but Vivian … she is your current 14th sage. A title itself may not mean much, but I believe it still has a great impact on you. "
The identity of Vivian and Lily would be revealed one day, and that day was not too far away. Hao Ren had also thought about what would happen if this matter was kept a secret forever. After all, the demon hunters did not know the truth for the past 6,000 years, and they were still alive. But after the secret meeting yesterday, he realized that it was inevitable: the demon hunters were about to usher in a turning point.
They had been tossing and turning in lies and fog for 6,000 years, and this fog had finally brewed into the second Woe of Madness. Now that they were going to sober up and start their journey again, they should take this opportunity to reveal the truth, which would also be an opportunity to end the 'hunting activity.'
They were silent for a while. Hao Ren suddenly sighed. "The biggest trouble is not in Coldpath, but outside."
They were not stupid. Of course, they knew what Hao Ren was talking about. Elder Andaherr looked in the direction of the Stellar Spire, as if her eyes were looking directly at the distant surface world through the spatial rift above the spire. "The demon hunters have lost more than half of their strength in this battle, but this is not the worst. The worst thing is that the defense line and fortress that we have been operating for 6,000 years have been destroyed. The strongholds around the world are now empty shells. The otherworldlings will not let go of this opportunity. Once the territory is lost, it will not be easy to get it back. The balance has been broken, and I am afraid that all the sanctuaries will open up. "
"So Vivian and I are going to Athens to meet the representatives of the otherworldlings," Hao Ren said with his arms crossed. "In fact, long before we came here, there were already small families who were ready to make a move, but their elders had suppressed them."
Hasse stared at Hao Ren. Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on his face (it was not easy for him to make such an expression). "When I first met you, I firmly believed that you belonged to the otherworldling camp."
"I don't belong to any camp. I am really neutral," Hao Ren said, shrugging. "I only serve the higher level of balance. Besides, you said that the Hunting War of 6,000 years is just a joke? I don't think so. "
He paused and then said, "Indeed, the Hunting War itself is absurd, but it has essentially ended the chaos on this planet. Even without the dark sword to magnify the dark side of your heart, the otherworldlings on Earth will continue to fight, and sooner or later, you will join the battle because of the influence of the Sin of the Divine Blood. It is just a matter of time, and the outcome will be different. The whisper of the dark sword has made you the most powerful supernatural race on this planet, and it has also ended the killing of all other races in advance. With a decisive battle, you have ended the endless war. If the otherworldlings continue to fight, the number of their deaths will not necessarily be less than the number of people you have killed. You have also indirectly allowed the true civilization of this planet, the human civilization, to develop, and in fact, protect the natives of this planet. You know, the otherworldlings in the Mythological Era are not the 'standard civilization'. The true heritage of this planet is still in the hands of humans. This is my view of the Hunting War from the perspective of an 'observer': the absurd war, the result is more good than bad. "
"… a very cold judgment," Gregowen said in a low voice. "I'm afraid those who are being hunted will not like your view."
"That's right. So this is just my judgment from the perspective of an 'observer', based on the standard of 'what's best for civilization as a whole'." Hao Ren glanced at the few demon hunters around him. "Now, from my personal point of view, you are all a bunch of clowns, the most euphemistic way to put it.
Hasse thought for a moment and nodded slowly. "Indeed, the most euphemistic way to put it."
Another half a day had passed, and it was time for Hao Ren and his team to leave.
The rebuilding of the demon hunters was left to the demon hunters, and the demonic army was left to Lanina. Hao Ren and his team still had to go to the Athens' sanctuary to keep an eye on the otherworldling families. Naturally, they could not stay here for too long.
And this time, when they left, they brought a special "passenger" with them.
Mimir's head was fixed on a huge stone platform. Hao Ren had moved the entire stone platform out of the Netherrealm Clock Tower. Now, he was commanding the autonomous robots to send the huge head to the garage of the Petrachelys. The giant's head left the Netherrealm Clock Tower for the first time in thousands of years. He sighed. "I have lived here for a long time … I have feelings for it."
"You are talented to be a captive," Vivian joked with her old friend. Although she had lost her memory of Mimir, the two were getting to know each other again. "Do you have anything to say to them?"
Mimir glanced at the demon hunters on the platform and closed his eyes slightly. "Live well. That's all."
Half an hour later, the Petrachelys left the temple platform, tore a rift above the Stellar Spire, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
