Including Speaker Gould and Arthur the Demigod, there were a total of 83 members of the Supreme Council of the Divine World, and in recent years, after the killing of Arthur the Demigod, the number of top nobles has been constantly changing.
With the entry of Lord Harlow, the number of members of the Supreme Council was the smallest in recent years.
In the past, in order to increase the number of members of the Supreme Council, it would have taken decades or even centuries for new top nobles to appear.
The emergence of top nobles is not easy, as they need to have enough merit to make the temple agree to upgrade their titles and pay the price of a planet as a territory.
Even though Lord Harold and the other twelve knights had saved the entire High Council and performed outstanding merits in the war against the Insects, Lord Harold was only granted the title of Duke and became a top nobleman.
The top nobles are the representatives of the nobles of the world of God. The top nobles have a lot of power, and they can make their own laws and exercise all powers on their planet.
They can also propose motions to the Supreme Council, participate in the discussion of important matters, and are the secular administrators of the Divine World.
Each top noble is the pinnacle of the nobility of the Divine World, and the number of top noble positions is limited to 99 at most.
However, since the establishment of the aristocracy of the Divine Great World, it has rarely been possible for the number of top nobles to reach ninety-nine, which is also related to the Temple's efforts to reduce the number of top nobles.
This time, the temple rewarded twelve dukes at once, raising the number of councilors to ninety-five, so the nobles could all see that this was a gesture of goodwill from the temple to Arthur the Demigod.
When Arthur the demigod's status and strength were reached, nothing else in the world could reward him.
The pantheon could only moderate its relations with Arthur the Demigod through indirect means, by rewarding the demigod's subordinates.
After the announcement, Archbishop McIntyre swept his gaze toward the demigod Arthur.
After seeing the smile on the demigod Arthur's face, Archbishop McIntyre breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In Archbishop McIntyre's opinion, the Demigod Arthur was satisfied with the reward.
Standing next to Archbishop McIntyre was Chancellor Gould, who also had a happy expression on his face.
The most important point was that there had never been any conflict of interest between the two, and the fact that almost everything that was given to Chancellor Gould was given to him by Arthur the Demigod made the relationship between the two even closer.
Arthur the Demigod has never had any claim to power, and in fact, if he wanted to, the nobles of the godly world would follow his lead.
But Arthur the Demigod only cared about his own cultivation, and in Chancellor Gould's opinion, this might be the reason why Arthur the Demigod's strength increased so quickly.
The Supreme Council added twelve top nobles with legendary strength, but this did not reduce the power in Speaker Gould's hands, but rather increased Speaker Gould's power in the Supreme Council.
These twelve additional members were absolutely 100% on Speaker Gould's side.
The twelve Knights of the Legendary Order protected Chancellor Gould with their lives during the war, even the demigod 'Knight of the Holy Spirit' did so.
The twelve Legendary Knights flew into the room, and they received the nobleman's certificate from Archbishop McIntyre.
The twelve legendary knights did not take a one-knee salute, nor did they take an oath when they received the nobleman's papers.
Archbishop McIntyre also seemed to have forgotten this part, even though the nearly two hundred nobles who had been awarded the prize had just performed a one-knee salute and sworn an oath to the gods.
"Demigod Arthur, I'm not going to hand out the spirit fruit rewards for these twelve newly crowned lords!" Chancellor Gould said with a smile after the reward had been granted.
All of the top nobles laughed, and they all understood what Speaker Gould was saying.
Because they all knew that there were only two places in the Great World of Gods that had spiritual fruits, one was the temple, and the other was the demigod Arthur.
The rewards awarded by the Supreme Council this time, needless to say, must have been received by Speaker Gould from the demigod Arthur, and as far as they knew, the Temple did not have such a large amount of money.
Most importantly, the Supreme Council had twelve more Knights of Legendary Order, and with the addition of Lord Harlow, who had just revealed his strength this time, the number of Knights of Legendary Order in the Supreme Council reached as many as twenty-eight.
The Supreme Council also has the demigod Arthur, the demigod Arthur's black dragon Alexis, and two divine warriors that can reportedly be mobilized.
The true strength of the current Supreme Council was no worse than any of the pantheons, except that the five pantheons were one, and could not be viewed separately.
David also could not help but laugh, this one sentence of Speaker Gould, the Archbishop of McIntyre through the one time reward twelve lords of such a great generosity caused a lot of atmosphere dissipated.
He said, "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this.
The reward ceremony lasted one day, mainly because there were too many nobles to reward.
The ceremony ended in the evening, and the nobles who watched the ceremony withdrew, and Archbishop McIntyre also left the Shining Star immediately after the reward.
Only ninety-five council members remained in the entire Supreme Council Chamber.
"As you all know, in the short span of one year, I have come close to death no less than three times while accepting missions from the temple.
Two of them were intentional attempts by the temple to take my life.
Why would the temple want me dead? It's because the Supreme Council is now leading the nobles to improve their power, giving us more power to say no to the temple.
It's not just me, I just got lucky, more nobles don't have my luck, and one by one the noble knights are falling.
Let us not be sacrificed by the Temple, every battle, every most dangerous place, every certain death, the Temple will let the noble knights come forward, and they will be the ones to reap the success in the end." Chancellor Gould said in a deep voice.
All the council members knew in their hearts that the Temple's oppressive tactics against the nobles had never stopped.
Especially when knights of legendary rank appeared among the nobles, the suppression became more and more obvious.
Noble knights are not afraid to face their enemies; they need to use their weapons and their blood to gain merit and honor for themselves and their families.
But the noble knights were worried about the temple behind them, so how could they fight with peace of mind.
This is why there is a huge conflict between the temple and the nobles, the temple is just a representative of the gods, not a god, and has no right to send the noble knights to their deaths, or even behind the scenes to kill the noble knights by conspiracy.
"I need everyone's support, we have to say no to the temple, we have to have the power of whether or not to participate in the mission, we want the mission to take ownership, so that we can protect the life of every noble knight from being framed by conspirators!" Chancellor Gould continued.
Even though Speaker Gould had established the 'Dawn Alliance' and brought the top fourteen top noble families into it, they were still unable to gain absolute power in the Supreme Council.
The nobles were all more or less connected to the five pantheons, and it was impossible to break these ties at once.
However, Speaker Gould was confident that this time he would be able to obtain the unanimous opinion of the deputies.
The existence of the demigod Arthur gave the Supreme Council confidence because it had the war power to fight against the gods.
"This next proposal will be put to a vote, and the vote will be taken on the spot and in public!" Chancellor Gould said with a smile.
As Speaker of the Supreme Council, Gould had the power to decide how to vote.
The public vote was the most transparent, and the ninety or so deputies present could immediately know the result of the vote through the live voting.
This is the fairest way to vote in normal times, and there can be no problem.
But this time it was different. There was one huge difference between this vote and the previous one, and that was the presence of Arthur the Demigod.
"House Hopkinson agrees with Chancellor Gould's proposal, the lives of our noble knights are not pawns to be consumed at the temple's whim!" Lord Ludwig was the first to raise his hand and said.
"The House of Fish agrees with Chancellor Gould's proposal!" Lord Daryl then raised his hand and said.
The rest of the Legendary Lords of the Dawn Alliance agreed to the proposal, as they were already allies with Chancellor Gould, and the proposal had been negotiated before the Supreme Assembly.
It was also a matter of immediate interest to the Legendary Lords, knowing that the first thing the Temple would deal with would be the Legendary Noble Knights.
The successive actions of the temple showed that the legendary knights did not dare to trust the temple anymore.
As David's heart moved, his thirteen Legendary Lords also raised their hands, expressing their support for the proposal.
All the Legendary Lords of the Supreme Council agreed to the proposal, and then the rest of the Lords raised their hands.
Even those lords with unusual thoughts, after hesitating for a moment, also raised their hands and agreed to the proposal.
These lords with unusual thoughts, they had to agree, in front of the demigod Arthur, to oppose Speaker Gould's proposal, to be honest, they did not have the guts.
The lords were even more annoyed with Chancellor Gould, who had obviously borrowed Arthur the Demigod's influence, otherwise why would he make the proposal while Arthur the Demigod was attending the meeting.
Arthur the demigod rarely attends meetings of the Supreme Council, and now that he is sitting here, no one wants to be hated by him.
Not to mention the fact that the black dragon Alexis was perched on Demigod Arthur's shoulders, which put even more pressure on the lords who were thinking outside the box.
None of the lords present objected and all raised their hands.
"The House of Luce supports Chancellor Gould's proposal!" David finally smiled and raised his hand.
To be honest, if he hadn't been held back by Chancellor Gould, he would have returned to Gami Star long ago, and with his eyes, the politics of the Supreme Council wouldn't have interested him at all.
"Very well, all the members of the Supreme Council have agreed to my proposal, from now on the tasks of the temple must be issued and dominated by the Supreme Council, and I will send the resolution of the Supreme Council to the five pantheons to inform the five pantheons of our decision!" Chancellor Gould waved his hand and said, "Chancellor Gould did take advantage of Arthur the Demigod.
Speaker Gould did take advantage of the presence of Arthur, a demigod, to bring up an issue that would normally be difficult to pass unanimously.
With this topic as a basis, the relationship with the temple was then put on a par, and this was an important shift in the relationship between the Supreme Council and the temple.
In the past, Chancellor Guldur had no power to decide the relationship between the Supreme Council and the Temple, no matter how angry he was, but the Chancellor was more of an organizer, a manager of general affairs.
On important matters, Chancellor Gould had to have the consent of all the council members, and the more important the matter, the higher the percentage of votes.
Now that a decision has been reached, there will be no more lords in the Supreme Council who will dare to oppose it, which would offend all the councilors and be excluded from the top nobility.
"Therefore, I have decided that all the councilors who fought in this war will each receive one fruit, those who have achieved more than one great merit will receive two fruits, and the main legendary lords who fought in this war will each receive five fruits.
After the meeting is over, please go to the warehouse to collect your respective fruits!" Chancellor Gould looked at David and smiled.
As soon as Speaker Gould's words ended, all the lords at the scene became excited.
For this Great World War, all but a very few of the top nobles here had participated.
That's why most of the top nobles here could receive at least one share of the Spiritual Fruit, and one share of the Spiritual Fruit applied well was equal to one Knight Templar.
The top nobles would not mind having more Templars in their families. Normally, there are only one or two Templars in a top noble family.
Powerful top nobles only have three or four Templars, and few families can train more than five Templars.
The reason for this was mainly resources, and the resources needed for five Templars could not be supported even by powerful top nobles.
David felt a little helpless, and he realized that it would be a mistake to send Chancellor Gould to Annabelle's legendary quest for spiritual fruit.
Since the relationship between the legendary Annabella and Chancellor Gould was extremely close, David took a look at the rewards and estimated that all the fruits he gave to the legendary Annabella had fallen into Chancellor Gould's hands.
I'm not sure how much I'd like to see you do this, but I'm not sure how much I'd like to see you do this, either.
