The elders were momentarily captivated by the prospects they imagined.
What have they been toiling for all these years? Wasn't it to ensure the Human Race could avoid being in such a precarious state?
And now, this could really be achieved!
However, as the leaders of the Federation, besides having a long-term vision, it is most important to be cautious and steady. So, after a few moments of excitement, the elders gradually calmed down.
Once they regained their composure, they immediately understood why Fang Ze had mentioned the extremist factions first.
The biggest issue in achieving Fang Ze's stated goal was actually the internal perception and positioning of the Demigods within the Human Race, especially among the higher-ups.
For the past fifty years, the Federation's leadership has had a complex relationship with the Human Race's Demigods. There's gratitude and respect, but also vigilance and precaution.
