Meredith set aside his other thoughts and slowly said, "Back when you were still a Radiant Moon Legendary, we already wanted to invite you to join the council."
"But at that time, you were participating in the Blood War at the Bronze Citadel. Later, you became a Dark Demon General, and after that, you returned to the Spirit Realm to build a Floating City and take part in godslaying."
