Mouse sighed and said, ”It was said that he wanted to devote hi others would distract hi tih the appraisal process by the Elders, the book was then added into the Teious teachings in the past two hundred years!”
Rody could not help but sigh as he said, ”In other words, this person is really forht, a practitioner, a philosopher and also a great teacher!”
Mouse hesitated for a moment and then added, ”He is also a politician!”
”A politician?”
”Yes” Mouse sighed and then her tone becaain
”At that time, the Temple was divided into two factions One of the factions was the ‘Hard Cultivation’ faction Advocates control their human desires to wholeheartedly and selflessly cultivate Prometheus was the representative of that faction
”The other faction was the ‘Cloud’ faction The standpoint of that faction was that people living in this world should go with the flow A person’s life and fate have already been arranged by God There is no need to deliberately do anything They just needed to do things as arranged by fate and it would be according to God’s will
”During a debate in the General Conference, which is held once every ten years, Prometheus made the representative of the ‘Cloud’ faction speechless with his rebuttal The ‘Cloud’ faction was then defeated that year”
”This doesn’t see It was a victory in just one debate” Rody frowned
Mouse gave a faint s However, the Elder representative of the ‘Cloud’ faction committed suicide behind closed doors because of the sha defeated in the debate It was only because his decomposed body emitted a stench that his corpse was found…”
”Suicide?” Rody sneered ”Did he really commit suicide?”
Mouse nodded ”I understand what you mean, but it was really suicide! Prometheus was coated that incident for a long time Besides that, Prometheus continued to cultivate in his room after the debate He did not step out of the door at all”
”What happened after that?”

Rody was so surprised that his h and said, ”Aht of this earlier and had already allowed his disciples to believe in the ‘Cloud’ faction years ago”
Mouse nodded and said, ”The Saint as promoted to Elder then used his power to slowly collapse the ‘Cloud’ faction Later, the ‘Cloud’ faction declined and was no longer able to confront the ‘Hard Cultivation’ faction They gradually lost their authority and became an antithesis within the Elder Council
”After that, Prometheus's authority in the Elder Council was at the peak The Tehts also preferred Proht and a disciple of a veteran Paladin, alhts were his coht before, it was easier for hihts naturally supported him compared to the other Elders”
At this point, Mouse suddenly frowned ”There was also Fielding! During our ti liked…liked me very much”
Rody then said, ”So, in order to win over the Paladin Fielding, Proether?”
Mouse sighed and said, ”My teacher was also an Elder of the ‘Hard Cultivation’ faction Prometheus was the one who recommended me to become my teacher’s disciple”
