On February 6, Chancellor Bai, Chief Great Sun Priest of the Ancestral God Hall, submitted a memorial stating that since Ye Zhen had slain Prophet Demon Master Qi Hong of the Devil Race, he would surely face the Demon God Palace's all-out retaliation.
First, as the young commander who had once again slain a Seven-Surname Prophet Demon Master of the Devil Race after a hundred thousand years, he should be given time to grow.
Second, Ye Zhen's slaying of a Seven-Surname Prophet Demon Master had stirred the fighting spirit of Great Zhou's countless soldiers, causing the morale of the frontline troops to soar. But if Ye Zhen were unfortunately assassinated and killed in the Devil Race's retaliation, the blow to the frontline soldiers' morale would be incomparably fatal.
Should anything happen to Ye Zhen, it could absolutely affect the overall course of the war on the Human-Demon Battlefield.
Third, a Duke was a pillar of the nation. Since Ye Zhen had been granted a dukedom, he had to be recalled and bestowed his title according to state ceremony, to bolster military morale and stabilize the nation's foundations.
Furthermore, Ye Zhen was a man of the Ancestral God Hall. Having slain a Seven-Surname Prophet Demon Master, he must return to the Ancestral God Hall and personally present the Seven-Surname Prophet Demon Master's head in sacrifice to the ancestral spirits, to comfort the souls of the forebears!
Though these four points appeared different, they all carried the same meaning and goal.
Chief Great Sun Priest Chancellor Bai of the Ancestral God Hall was petitioning Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long to recall Ye Zhen from the quagmire of the Millennial War on the Human-Demon Battlefield, lest he be assassinated and perish beneath the Devil Race's frenzied retaliation.
