Twilight Speaker

Chapter 22 His Name is Ditan
"Please sit here. It is my honor to have you here to listen!"

Just as Wei Qingqiu said, this lecturer of [Mysterious Societies and Secret Sects Research] was extremely respectful to him.
It was as if I was the lecturer and he was the teaching assistant.
Chen Xiang sat on the chair with a smile, feeling a little emotional. This theoretical research was really a thankless task. In this world, strength was still king.

At this time, all the students had taken their seats. Most of them looked at Chen Xiang with curiosity, and many of them recognized him.

"Hey, it seems to be the Chen Warrior from last Friday? Do you remember him? He was the one who touched the black flame in the secret martial arts class!"

"How could I forget this warrior? Why is he here?"

"But Warrior Chen seems to be lucky. He is not hurt at all. That is Black Flame."

Amid the buzz of discussion, the esoteric lecturer coughed twice, his expression solemn:
"Everyone be quiet!"

The discussion gradually died down.

"In the last class, I introduced the nine great orthodox churches to you. We mentioned in class that only great people can establish a religion. Today we are going to talk about the oldest, most terrifying and most mysterious secret sect in the world today!"

The students all became excited, and Chen Xiang also pricked up his ears.

The instructor's face showed clear fear, and he said softly:

"I believe many of you have heard of the name of this club. It is..."

"The Old Council."

After these four words were spoken, the whole classroom fell silent. Some students who had heard of this name could not help but swallow their saliva.
The lecturer was so nervous that he took out the silver powder to ward off evil spirits and sprinkled it everywhere, as if he was afraid that his lecture would attract the attention of a mysterious being.
Under Chen Xiang's stunned gaze, the lecturer sprinkled half a pound of silver powder to exorcise evil spirits, then wiped the sweat off his face and spoke nervously:
"The Old Parliament, whose birth date is unknown and whose leader is unknown, is listed as the world's top terrorist organization by the Great City and the Nine Nations!"

Chen Xiang's eyelids twitched. Terrorist organization? ?

The lecturer let out a sigh and continued:

“The composition of the Old Parliament is not clear yet, but what is clear is that its top level is the [Members]. It is reported that there are a total of nine members in the Old Parliament, one of whom also serves as the [Speaker].
There are uncertain reports that the true identity of each of these congressmen is a big shot standing at the top of the world."

A student couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher Zhu, what exactly is the Old Parliament?"

Lecturer Zhu was silent for a moment, then said:

"Before talking about the Old Parliament, I have to mention our Great City. Everyone should know the first step of the Extraordinary Secret Road, right?"

"I know!" the students said in unison.

Teacher Zhu nodded, gradually getting into the mood, and his nervousness eased a little:

"The first step of the extraordinary secret road is to choose a path. Choose the nine great god sequences. If you are not accepted by any of the great gods, you will become a person abandoned by the gods. Being abandoned by the gods does not mean that the road is cut off!"

A look of pride appeared on his face:

"The main reason why our Great City can be ranked alongside the Nine Nations is that we have the tenth path outside of the Nine Great Gods' Sequence, and all of this is because of the [Death Titan]!"

Chen Xiang listened attentively, his expression extremely solemn.

Death Titan.

This was not the first time he had heard this term, and according to Li Dongyun, Titan was the so-called [Old One]!
The lecturer Zhu continued:

"The body of the Death Titan is in our Great City. This is also the reason why the Great City is great."

"Outer Gods are also called Great Ones. Although the Death Titan is also a Great One, he is not an Outer God. To be precise, he is an Old One."

"Some students may wonder what the Old Ones are. This requires mentioning a mysterious rumor."

"The secret says that countless years ago, the one who controlled the universe was not the gods of today, but the Great Titans. Later, the Great Titans were replaced by nine great gods from the outer universe.

These great gods from the outer universe are the Outer Gods. They are the rulers of the present world, and the Titans naturally became the rulers of the past."

Lecturer Zhu sneered:
"In short, in the description of the Council of the Old Ones, the Creation Titan, who they called "Above the Old Ones" and "The Greatest One", once ruled over the Three Pillar Gods, the Nine Outer Gods, and the Nine Overlords of the Old Ones, haha."

Teacher Zhu's voice suddenly became louder:

"However!"

"However, this rumor is what the Old Parliament said. The Old Parliament claimed that they worship the Nine Old Lords. They want to overthrow the Outer Gods and restore the glory of the old days!" The entire classroom was silent, and everyone was listening quietly, including Chen Xiang.

Teacher Zhu smiled at this time:

"But a thousand years ago, this argument made by the Old Parliament had already become a complete joke. Does anyone know why?"

The students looked at each other, but no one spoke.

But Wei Qingqiu suddenly spoke:
"Because a thousand years ago, the Death Titan issued an oracle that the Old Council was wrong, false, and evil. The Old Ones worshipped by the Old Council personally refuted them."

Chen Xiang raised his eyelids suddenly. The Death Titan, the Old Lord mentioned by the Old Parliament, personally refuted their purpose?

"That's right!"

Lecturer Zhu praised loudly:
"So, the purpose of the Council of the Old Ones is ridiculous. The great Death Titan personally refuted it! According to research, the members of the Council of the Old Ones are just a group of ambitious people, a group of powerful and terrifying ambitious people."

"They wove the lie of the Old Ones based on the existence of the Death Titan. They claimed that there was another Greatest One who was superior to the Old Ones. They said that it was the Creation Titan, the pillar of reality, but the problem is..."

Teacher Zhu shrugged:

"But the problem is that on the eve of the first year of the Divine Calendar, the bones of the gods fell to the earth. The bones of the gods slept on the ground, and the souls of the gods lived in the spirit world, such as the Death Titan in our Great City and the Lord of the Abyss [Dancer] in Donghong Country.
When people questioned the Old Ones Council and learned where the bodies of the other eight Old Ones and the so-called Greatest One were.

Lecturer Zhu shook his head:
"The Council of the Old Ones said that the bodies of the eight Old Ones and the Greatest One were banished to the outer universe and to the warp. This is ridiculous! A lie!"

He became more and more excited, then took a deep breath and waved his hand:
“Although the establishment of the Old Parliament was based on a lie, it is undeniable that they are powerful and terrifying.
From the Donghong Kingdom in the east to the Dongdong Kingdom in the far north, and even in our greatest city, their footprints are hidden everywhere."

"It is said that the old councillors hold the power to fight against the true God, have huge resources, and control a huge dark force, but it still cannot change the fact that they are just an ambitious organization!"

Chen Xiang listened quietly, his mind turning over and over, sorting out everything that had happened.

sorry.

The quantities don't match.

There were still only seven dwarfs in the dream, not eight.

But there are exactly nine of those holes.
If the dwarves are the Old Ones, then what about myself?
He sighed softly, already having a rough answer in his mind.

Teacher Zhu talked about some of the horrors of the old parliament and the existence of some other mysterious societies.

I was going to do another mysterious experiment, but time was running out, so I gave up.

after class,
Lecturer Zhu walked towards Chen Xiang with a respectful smile on his face:
"Assistant Chen, after listening to my lecture, do you have any guidance? I will definitely correct any shortcomings."

Chen Xiang woke up from his deep thoughts, smiled and waved his hand:

"Teacher Zhu, your lecture is very good. I am just curious about the old parliament, so I came to listen."

The two of them exchanged polite greetings for a moment and said goodbye to each other. When Chen Xiang stood up and was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and asked casually:

"By the way, Lecturer Zhu."

Lecturer Zhu paused as he was leaving, turned around quickly, and said respectfully:

"Please speak."

"Teacher Zhu, you don't have to say that. Is there a specific name for the "Above the Old Days" that the Old Days Council mentioned?"

"You've asked the right person!"

Lecturer Zhu said happily:
"Others may not know this, but I have studied the subjects of the Old Parliament. Let me tell you in secret that I was once invited by the Secret Investigation Department to consult on issues related to the Old Parliament!"

As he spoke, he puffed out his chest proudly:

"By the way, more than ten years ago, the Old Council did give a name to the so-called 'Greatest'."

Chen Xiang saw Wei Qingqiu waiting for him outside the door and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked one last question:
"what is his name?"

Teacher Zhu replied respectfully:
"His name is Di Tan."
