Compared to Vivian being the Fourteenth Sage, the reincarnation of the First Sage in Lily's body was mind-boggling. It was not just out of human reasoning, it could also be deemed a bad joke.
But the joke had turned out to be true.
The revelation of Lily's identity had caused an uproar. The demon hunters in the room were the top figures in their world. Each of them was extremely wise, calm and steady, but the news came like a bolt out of the blue and stunned even them.
They were dumbstruck, but no one stood up and objected.
Hao Ren nodded slightly. He knew that underreaction was the proper demeanor of the ancients. The impulsive young demon hunters would have been too willing to express themselves had they heard the news, but not the ancients. The ancients would question, object, or deny, but they would carefully study it before making any conclusion. The ancients were too wise to think that Hao Ren was making a joke.
