An hour later, at the top floor of the Parliament Building.
Two figures arrived one after the other.
Hall Master Wang walked in front.
He stood tall and straight, dressed in formal attire without a single badge on him, yet the lines of his shoulders and the rhythm of his stride still bore the marks of his many years in the military.
Qiangu Qingfeng followed closely behind, maintaining a distance of roughly half a step from him.
Hall Master Wang was the new master of the War God Temple.
The previous generation's War God Temple master had been a direct subordinate of the ruler of the God Realm. He had broken through to godhood and ascended to the God Realm twenty years ago.
There was no need to mention the generation before that.
Chen Xinjie had been publicly tried by the entire population.
To this day, he remained nailed to the Federation's pillar of shame.
Of course...
There was also that Heaven-defying Little Fairy, Long Yeyue.
Her name stood alongside Chen Xinjie's.
"Speaker Xie."
"Xie Chang."
The two addressed Xie Chang differently.
Qiangu Qingfeng called him "Speaker Xie."
One reason was work-related.
As the head of the Dou Tian Department, Xie Chang was his superior, and using his full title complied with administrative protocol.
The other was that he had no personal friendship with Xie Chang.
Hall Master Wang, however, called him by name.
That was because he and Xie Chang had been young prodigies of the same generation. They had worked together in the Central Legion for many years and shared a deep friendship.
And that was also one of the core reasons Xie Chang had been able to become Federation Council Chairman.
The current Federation had only two major powers.
The Spirit Pagoda and the War God Temple.
