New Members of the Council of Sages

Inside a dark conference hall, nine people sat on either side of a long conference table.

All nine people were dressed in black robes, revealing only their faces, and all of them possessed a translucent quality characteristic of illusions.

Clearly, none of them had actually been here.

These nine people were the seven members of the Council of Sages, but now there are two more: Naiser, Lord of Purgatory, and Azathoth, Elemental King.

This was Xiao Yu's first time attending a meeting of the Council of Sages. He had to admit, it had a mysterious feel to it, like a secret gathering. A group of villains were plotting to overthrow the world and were having a meeting in a dark little house, which gave Xiao Yu a strange sense of curiosity.

Xiao Yu scanned the crowd present; he recognized most of the seven members of the Council of Sages.

Shen Yuan, the ultimate boss and president of the Council of Sages, is an evil villain determined to overthrow the rule of the God of Holy Light and change the entire world. He is known as the Nameless Sage.

Merlin, a charlatan who enjoys playing tricks and charlatans, whose exact strength is unknown, but who seems to possess the ability to manipulate fate, is known as the Sage of Fate.

Medivh, the last Guardian, was once the vessel of Sargeras and nearly destroyed the entire world. He was killed and resurrected, and successfully saved the world. He is always trying to figure out the truth of this world and keeps asking what the GM is. He is a very complex person and is known as the Astral Sage.

Ner'zhul, the former High Priest of the Orcs and the former Lich King, was responsible for the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. He manipulated Arthas to kill himself, faked his death to escape, and then joined the Council of Sages, earning the title of Sage of Death.

Kairoz, an ancient bronze dragon, possesses the ability to manipulate time and is a member of the Council of Time. However, dissatisfied with his humble job of maintaining the timeline, he aspires to use his timeline abilities to rule the world, earning him the title of Sage of Time.

Alodi, the first Guardian the Sky World, was an old man who was thought to be dead long ago. Theoretically, he had met Xiao Yu once. He was imprisoned by the gods in the Prison of the Gods and, over the long years, mastered endless knowledge, earning the title of Sage of Wisdom.

And the last one, the only person Xiao Yu had never met.

The person's entire body was distorted and affected by magic, making them appear blurry and indistinct. Their features were completely obscured, but from the vaguely discernible body shape, they seemed to be a woman.

These seven individuals are all renowned figures, each possessing formidable strength. Their gathering together creates a truly impressive spectacle.

Not to mention that there are two more people this time: Azathoth, Elemental King, and Naiser, Lord of Purgatory, who are no ordinary beings either.

Shen Yuan glanced at everyone. "Before we begin today's meeting, I'd like to introduce our two new members."

"Azathoth — the Elemental King from the Elemental Plane, the current the Destroyer of Worlds, a powerful figure who dares to defy fate and fight against the gods, will become the eighth member of the Council of Sages, with the title of Elemental Sage."

"Naiser —the sole member of the Nephalem race from the Abyssal Hell, he has demonstrated exceptional bravery in recent operations, proving his worth through his actions. Although the Council of Sages theoretically only recruits spellcasters, Naiser has proven himself through his actions, and he will become the ninth member of the Council of Sages, with the title of Demon Sage."

So next--"

"Wait a minute!" Naiser suddenly raised his hand. "Strictly speaking, I'm a hybrid of angel and demon, so could I perhaps be called the Demon Sage?"

Shen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, "So what do you want to be called?"

"How about calling me the Holy Demon Sage? Demon represents evil, and Saint represents Holy Light. I think this title suits my image better."

"I think the Holy Shadow Sage would be more suitable, with both Holy Light and Shadow," Kairoz interjected.

"Demons and shadows are two different things," Alodi tried to correct Kairoz's mistake.

"How about calling him the Angel Demon Sage? It combines angel and demon, and it sounds more imposing," Ner'zhul chimed in with his opinion.

"Um, just wanted to ask, I'd also like to change my name. Elemental Sage is too common, how about calling me Chaos Sage?" Seeing the heated discussion, Xiao Yu also shared his thoughts on his title.

Seeing that the topic was about to go off-topic, Shen Yuan was somewhat speechless.

"Stop arguing!" Shen Yuan glanced helplessly at everyone. "You can decide what you want to be called sages yourselves. Report it after the meeting, and I'll assign you titles. Now, let's get down to business. Naiser, you go ahead."

Naiser nodded. "I've received some information through my people. The Alliance and the Horde are about to unite and launch an expedition to Outland to attack the Throne of the Elements. They're also going to join forces with Illidan, the Elemental Will, and other forces to launch a massive Elemental Ritual at the Throne of the Elements. Once the Elemental King appears, they'll all attack him. "Elemental King

In addition, they plan to restart the Guardian Project and select a new Guardian to fight the Elemental King.

Xiao Yu was startled upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Wow, these guys really went to great lengths to deal with me."

Shen Yuan said, "This is not a big problem. Soon, we will have our own cannon fodder army. Next, we just need to integrate the forces we currently control to help the Elemental King fight against them. Moreover, in this way, it will be difficult for the Pantheon to notice us."

As for the Guardian, that's not a problem either. Don't forget we have two Guardian here; they're definitely experts at dealing with the Astral Sage and the Sage of Wisdom."

Medivh nodded. "That's right. The Guardian are nothing to worry about. When I died, all the powerful magical energy within me was lost. If Dalaran were to restart the Guardian Project, they could only draw upon their existing magical energy to infuse new Guardian, meaning the dead Guardian would inevitably be unable to reach their former heights."

Shen Yuan nodded. "Then there's no problem. We can proceed with our next plan. Now that we've collected the blood of Yogg-Saron and C'Thun, our next target is Y'Shaarj. It's imprisoned on an island in the southern sea, guarded by a group of guardians created by the gods. We must get through these guardians, perhaps, to obtain a blood sample from Y'Shaarj."

"Y'Shaarj's greatest strength lies in its ability to control and amplify the negative emotions within living beings. Therefore, this time, we must find a way to defeat it. Ner'zhul, your Undead army is devoid of emotion; you will lead it this time. Kairoz, Merlin, Naiser, the three of you will assist him."

Medivh, Azathoth, and I will go together to unite those monster forces. Does anyone have any questions?

Seeing that no one objected, Shen Yuan nodded. "Very good, then it's settled. The meeting is adjourned. As usual, there's still an hour left on the projector screen, so everyone can exchange ideas."

Xiao Yu had already learned from Shen Yuan how the Council of Sages operated. Every so often, the Council of Sages would hold a meeting. In addition to discussing how to destroy the world, after the meeting, everyone would also have time to exchange knowledge and information with each other.

Everyone here possesses a vast amount of knowledge and intelligence resources; exchanging information with each other makes it easy to obtain something of value.

Furthermore, members of the Council of Sages can issue tasks to each other, and of course, they need to provide certain rewards for these tasks.

Besides that, you can also exchange feelings.

The members of the Council of Sages are almost all Legendary figures. It's rare to find someone you can chat with in the outside world, but within the Council of Sages, because everyone is so powerful, you can have a rare opportunity to communicate on an equal footing.
