Wuhlricht sighed and stated, "Royal saints have a long lifespan, but our elders only have a few years remaining because they are already of age. However, they are the sect's pillars. They laid the sect's foundations with me; therefore, all four of them will be going to that place with me. Gilda, of course, will accompany us, along with you, your wives, and Selene. Once we leave, the question arises: who shall lead the sect in our absence?"
Severin responded with a smile, "I've already discussed this with Gracie. She's the most suitable candidate to lead the sect. I will also task Rachel and those who came with me to the sect to remain behind and assist her."
"What's their current level of attainment?" Wuhlricht's eyes lit up when he heard that a succession plan was already in place. He had been worried about what might happen to the sect if he, along with Severin's family and the elders, left the sect.
Severin smiled and assured him, "Gracie is already a level seven royal saint, while Rachel is one level lower than her. I am confident that their attainment will improve significantly by Hardin's celebration feast. The sect will likely have numerous level five to level six saints by then. The sect will not be without capable leadership in our absence."
Wuhlricht nodded in satisfaction. "Gracie and Rachel are in their thirties, so they're still relatively young. Royal saints can live for up to a thousand years, so I do believe that it is the right choice to entrust them with the leadership of the sect."
Severin agreed. "Yes, if we reach that place and grow stronger, we might be able to return and bring them with us. I'm not sure what that higher world holds, but it will most certainly be brimming with countless opportunities and challenges."
