Sealed Divine Throne

Chapter 782: Legends Of The Eternal Heroes (II)

“In that decisive battle, nearly half of the devil gods of the 72 devil pillars were injured, many of which were killed because of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation acquired by us, the Knight Temple. And nearly a hundred of level-ninth strong men from our side fell in that war. Both sides suffered a great loss and the devils did not know the details of the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, so they retreated. At the same time as the dark age was formed, it finally gave us a chance to recuperate.”

“And just after the end of that war, among the hundreds of level-ninth strong men that fell, we recovered more than 60 complete corpses. They are our ancestors and they sacrificed their lives for the survival of human beings. If it were not for our ancestors’ hard efforts, we would not be where we are today. At that time, the alliance had just been established and was far from stable. But similarly, there were also many powerful weapons and magical props handed down from ancient times. Among them, a scroll has been handed down at the Knight Temple.”

At this point, Yang Haohan’s mood and expression got even more intense as everyone was listening attentively, they knew that Yang Haohan’s story had reached a critical moment.

“That scroll is called the Reincarnation Scroll. It sounds like a common name, but the spiritual magic recorded in that scroll is a forbidden spell and, in some cases, even a super forbidden spell.”

Forbidden magic scrolls were so rare that even Long Haochen had only seen them two or three times since he started his practice. As for the scroll of the super forbidden spell, he hadn’t even heard of it. Just vaguely knew that the difference between a super forbidden spell and a forbidden spell was like the difference between a super artifact and a mere artifact. A super forbidden spell could even reverse the occupation of a war and move mountains to fill the sea. But then what Yang Haohan said shocked the whole audience.

“However, this super forbidden spell is the magic of the undead.”

As soon as this remark came out, Long Haochen almost exclaimed, and the whole audience was shocked. Dozens of people in this large conference room were representatives and could be said to be the most powerful people of the Temple Federation today, but when they heard the word “magic of the undead”, they felt chills along their spines, and some people shivered with cold.

The magic of the undead had left too many painful lessons in human history. When they heard of these four words, it was no surprise that their expression changed. This was also the reason why Long Haochen resisted so much when he discovered that the Tower of Eternal was an inheritance of the magic of the undead.

Yang Haohan continued, “Predictably, the function of this super forbidden spell of the undead magic is to turn the dead into the undead. The reason why it is super forbidden is that when it turns the dead into the undead, it can reunite the souls of the dead who have been dead for no more than 12 hours to form the soul of a very strong undead that kept their knowledge and skills before death. The scope of this magic is 100 square meters.”

When Yang Haohan mentioned about bringing back the bodies of the strong, everyone at the scene already sensed something, but still some could not believe it yet. They all listened to Yang Haohan quietly.

“I know you don’t understand, not only you, but also the leaders of the six temples at that time were equally reluctant to use this scroll. The magic of the undead has brought us too many painful memories. It can be said that had it not been for the catastrophe before the advent of the dark age, the devils might not have been able to force us to such an extent. Even the glorious Vatican at that time was destroyed by the devils. In a sense, the splendid Vatican is the predecessor of our Knight Temple.”

Long Haochen subconsciously looked at Caier, and he noticed that members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group were also looking at him. Everyone looked a little strange, but they clearly supported Long Haochen firmly.

“There was a fierce debate at that time,” Yang Haohan said. “Some people supported the use of this scroll, so that our dead level-ninth strong men will become the undead, and they will live in another form after death. As long as they are alive, it is equivalent to more than half of the strength lost by the Temple Alliance at that time. Even if the devils wage war against us again, it will be much easier for us to resist.”

“There were also some people who believe that the use of Reincarnation Scroll is a blasphemy to their dead predecessors, and that their souls cannot rest in peace. Moreover, once they become undead, we cannot be sure that their characters and memories will remain the same. If there are any changes, won’t mankind be caught in an absolute disaster? Even the newly formed foundation of the Temple Alliance cannot be preserved.”

“There was a great conflict between these two opinions. In the end, the conflict came to an end, and what was finally decided was the distance from where the devil army retreated to. At that time, the devils did not retreat directly and completely, but stopped 500 miles from the alliance border. When the remaining devil gods of the 72 devil pillars retreated, their devil pillars still remained at the border. And it seemed like they would make a comeback any time. In that case, coupled with the support of the families of those who died, this super forbidden spell turn scroll was finally used.”

Many people subconsciously held their breath when they heard his. Although they could all guessed what the result would be, they felt excited when they thought of the urgent situation at that time.

“It was a success. A total of 63 level-ninth strong men turned into the spirits of the undead and condensed into their own souls of strong. Although their bodies were still broken, their strength was not weakened by the existence of the soul of the strong and they also gained some power of the undead. The power of that super forbidden spell is evident. At that time, almost all of the 63 strong men could not accept this fact. They died fighting for mankind, and they were the real heroes. However, after they are transformed into undead, what are they?”

“Fortunately, before using the scroll, the masters of the six temples at that time had reached an agreement to jointly declare their recognition by the alliance. They gave all of them the title of Eternal Heroes of the alliance and promised to open up a separate place for them to move into. They only had to help other alliance fight against devils when that alliance could not resist the strong devils’ attack.”

“After the persuasion of the masters of the six temples at that time and the families of these Eternal Heroes, they gradually accepted this reality. For their families, it was also a kind of happiness to be able to hear them and see them come back to life in the form of the undead. As a result, the 63 Eternal Heroes were placed by the Alliance in a secret location where they could rest. And this place is known as the inside of the Knight’s Holy mountain.”

The existence of Eternal Heroes was definitely the greatest secret of the Temple Alliance. Yang Haohan revealed this secret because of the tremendous pressure from the Devil clan to use the power of these Eternal Heroes.

For a moment, the Temple Congressmen in the room looked at each other, and most of them felt that their brains couldn’t process all this information properly. Just like the dispute at that time, with the help of the power of the undead, it was definitely a big deal for the Temple Federation. As Yang Haohan said before, if this matter were to be leaked out, then the blow to the Union would be unparalleled. If ordinary people knew that there was such a powerful undead force in the Union, they would not be able to understand. Fear would definitely occupy the vast majority, especially in the army, and a big strike would bound on the morale.

“After the arrangement of 63 Eternal Heroes, the masters of the six temples strictly forbid the spread of any relevant news. At the same time, it is stipulated that this secret can only be known by the masters of the six temples in the past. Moreover, until the critical moment of the life and death of the alliance, we must not use the power of the Eternal Heroes and let them rest forever inside the Knight’s Holy Mountain.”

“Not long after, the army of devils finally retreated completely. The power of Eternal Heroes did not reappear on the battlefield ever again. But their existence has remained in the hearts of the six temple masters of all generations. Until now.”

After introduced these details, Yang Haohan returned to his position and turned his attention to Long Haochen. To his great relief, Long Haochen was still very calm after listening to his story, without excessive surprise or disgust.

According to the rules, after Yang Haohan spoke, it should be Long Haochen, president of the Federation, to speak. However, before he could speak, Long Tianyin spoke first. “I do not agree to use the power of the Eternal Heroes.”

As Long Tianyin spoke, a Sealed Divine Knight stood up abruptly, looked at Yang Haohan with dissatisfaction, and said, “I would like to emphasize that although Xingyu and I are also masters of the Knight Temple, we do not know about this.”

Yang Haohan nodded and said, “Yes, although our Knight Temple has special circumstances, and we can have multiple masters, this secret can only be handed down by word of mouth. And it’s only told to one person from generation to generation.”

Long Tianyin snorted and said, “Lao Yang, why are you so confused? They are lost undead creatures! They are our ancestors, and they have made great contributions to mankind and sacrificed their lives. There was a big problem with turning them into undead creatures, but how can we still borrow their power now? Have you thought about it? Once they go to war, the paper can’t contain the fire, and it will be known by our soldiers. At that time, how can we explain to the federal soldiers? What would it be like if a group of powerful undead appeared on the battlefield? Moreover, after thousands of years, can you be sure that the mentality of these eternal heroes has not changed in such a long time? Once they leave their resting place and appear outside, they could completely go out of our control even if they are strong enough and have a lot of combat effectiveness. They are our ancestors. Will they follow the orders of their descendants? We might fail to make use of their strength and suffer counter-attack instead. The Union is already in such a great danger that we can’t take any more risk!”
