Just as the three major schools had expected, when the three new wizard kings appeared on the battlefield, the morale boost to the coalition forces was visible to the naked eye. Even the leaders of the major forces expressed their goodwill towards them.
The three elf leaders did not take any action immediately, but hid their breath and cooperated with the commander of the coalition forces. When the vine giant of the mushroom man broke into the formation, they suddenly attacked. The three witch kings surrounded and killed the vine giant in one fell swoop.
The mushroom people were shocked and retreated quickly. The old witch king acted decisively and entangled another seventh-level lava mushroom man tightly. Despite being injured, he endured the violent bombardment of three emperor-level mushroom people. After the three new witch kings killed the vine giant, he was able to free up his hands to keep the second mushroom emperor-level strongman on the battlefield, and captured him alive, trapping him with a special witch formation.
With this great victory, the coalition forces' previously low morale was swept away and their reputations soared.
They did not waste this surge in morale and reputation. After consulting with the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, they launched a full-scale counterattack, sweeping across the entire small world in one go. It took them only half a year to reach the last fortress of the mushroom people in this world.
There are experts among the Sons of the Spirit Realm in controlling emotions. Through the battle situation, they continuously suppressed the morale of the wizard coalition and Lin Xiao's reputation, and kept suppressing them until they reached the bottom and then suddenly exploded, establishing a huge reputation among the coalition in one breath.
During these six months, they not only launched a counterattack, but also kept in touch with the leaders of various major forces. They made no secret of their ambition to replace the former Witch King and made great promises to win over various major forces.
Even if they cannot be won over, they will be offered enough benefits to keep them neutral, or it will be enough to make them slow down at a critical moment.
If they were asked to rebel against the current Witch King, many major forces would not agree, but if they were asked to simply remain neutral, or slow down at a critical moment, most of the forces would agree.
After all, he had only been the Wizard King for a short time, and his relations with the major forces were not very good.
Strictly speaking, these three major schools have been established in this world for thousands of years and have a certain relationship with the major forces themselves. Lin Xiao has only been here for a few hundred years, and he has been in the Sea King world most of the time. To the major forces, he is actually an outsider who appeared suddenly.
If the old Witch King's life was not about to end, he would be the only new Witch King who could take on this important task. If there were any other seventh-level strong men, the position of Witch King would never have been his.
So.
In the Witch King Tower, Lin Xiao, who had finished his retreat, sat quietly in the center of the observatory. In front of him was the projection of the old Witch King. He took a sip of the refreshing tea on the crystal tea table in front of him, put down the teacup and smiled:
"So, the three of them are planning to replace me?"
He smiled and poured another cup of Qingshen Tea, drank it slowly, and said leisurely:
"Hmm, good tea, this is normal, normal people have ambitions, it's not surprising, their three major sects are of the same spirit, they must want to seize the position of a lone outsider like me, I already know, but is your injury serious?"
The old witch king also held a cup of refreshing tea in front of him and took a light sip. A white mist rose from the tea on the surface of the cup and quickly rolled into a tornado of white mist that flew into his nose. Soon a large tornado of white mist was sucked away, and the tea in the cup also disappeared.
Exhaling a breath of white air, the old wizard king said,
"My injury is not important. Anyway, I am already old and I don't have many years left to live. But if they want to seize your position, there will inevitably be disputes, which will be a loss for this world."
Lin Xiao's eyes fell on the exquisite teacup in his hand, and he turned it around, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question:
"Guess, sir, who will win if I fight them?"
The old wizard king thought for a moment and said,
"Normally speaking, they have a better chance of winning, but somehow, I always feel that you won't lose. Although my real body is not here, and the wizard king's tower also has a wizard formation that suppresses perception, I can't sense your strength now, but sitting in front of you at this moment, I don't know why I feel a palpitation."
At this point, the old wizard king looked at Lin Xiao seriously and asked,
"Tell me, have you made a breakthrough?"
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and nodded:
"I have successfully condensed my second true body!"
The old wizard king's pupils suddenly widened, his eyes filled with disbelief as he said,
"Isn't it the promotion to the eighth level that is the condensation of a secondary true body?"
"I made it very clear!"
The old wizard king's worries were instantly swept away, and he poured himself a cup of refreshing tea and drank it. He seemed to be much more relaxed instantly. After drinking it, he smacked his lips and smiled:
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."
He never asked him how he got promoted. As a big man who had lived for more than 200,000 years, he still knew some taboos. Unless he told him himself, he could never ask.
But you can ask other questions. After chatting for a few more words, the old wizard king suddenly asked as if he had thought of something:
"By the way, you went to the Emerald Dream to help Lady Tishaer suppress the balance of the Emerald Dream. How is it now? Why can't I feel her presence in the Emerald Dream?"
"this"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled, then he drank the refreshing tea in his mouth, raised his head and said:
"Before that, there is one thing I want to tell you. Tishaer is now my wife."
Now it was the old wizard king's turn to be stunned, and he was stunned for a long time. It took him a long time to come to his senses. A complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"I see."
Lin Xiao did not care about the old witch king's strangeness. There was nothing to say. With the beauty and temperament of the Emerald Queen, any man would fall in love with her. It was normal for the old witch king to fall in love with her after knowing her for so long.
It's just like a beautiful woman walking on the street will definitely attract the attention of men passing by, and it is impossible for him to get angry just because someone looks at her.
He continued,
"The Emerald Dream has disappeared. She has now merged with another self deep within the Emerald Dream, and has now become a mark on my body."
At their level, most things are understood at a glance, and there is no need for him to explain them. The old wizard king will understand them as soon as he hears them.
After listening to him, he sighed deeply and said to him seriously:
"Protect her well!"
He nodded seriously:
"I will."
There was a long silence as the two continued to drink tea. After a while, the old witch king finally came to his senses and said to him:
"What can I do for you?"
Lin Xiao knew what he was referring to, and shook his head,
"Just three newly promoted seventh-level people, do you think I would be afraid?"
Even if three of them attack together, he can easily suppress them. This is how confident his second true form is.
"But I do need your help with something."
"What's up?"
"I can't stay in this world for long. I have important things to do. I was originally planning to wait for thousands of years for a new guardian to arrive before passing on the throne, but now plans can't keep up with changes. I have condensed my second true body and my strength is enough to do something. I need to leave, but the position of the Witch King cannot be left vacant. I don't want the Eldar to take advantage of it. I need a new guardian to take over my position."
"this"
The old wizard king frowned and shook his head, saying,
"I can hardly help you with this matter. I only have a few hundred years to live, and after this injury I can only live for less than a hundred years. I can't take over, and there is no new guardian born in this world. I'm afraid."
"Yes, you can."
"???"
The old witch king looked confused.
Lin Xiao said:
"I have a secret method that can strip you of all your current powers, allowing your soul to retain its existing memories and reincarnate again. When you reincarnate, I will give you all your current powers. By then, it will only take a few decades for you to be promoted to the seventh level and become a guardian. By then, it will take less than a hundred years for you to return to the eighth level, which is enough for you to live for another few hundred thousand years, and you may even be able to go further in the future."
It might be a bit troublesome to do this in the past, but after being promoted to the second true body, Lin Xiao's strength is no less than any powerful divine power, and he has mastered the corresponding divine position.
Well, now it's called the law.
Especially now that he has mastered half of the laws of time, plus he is the chief guardian of the world, and the old witch king himself is the former guardian, so it is almost no difficulty for him to operate.
Although the old Witch King has now accepted his fate and is ready to wait for death, he was still dazed when he suddenly heard the news that he could live again, and he continued to have an irresistible desire to live again.
This is human nature, and anyone would be willing to do so.
"Without further delay, your real body can come back now."
Lin Xiao can't wait to reincarnate sooner and take the blame.
However, the old wizard king was not as anxious as him. He said,
"Don't be so anxious. This life is about to end anyway. Let me burn up the last of my strength. Wait for me for a month!"
Lin Xiao understood what he meant and nodded.
The old witch king's projection collapsed and turned into starlight in the sky, forming a beam of light and disappearing into the void.
Half a month later, Lin Xiao received news from the front line that the old witch king suddenly broke into the mushroom camp, and in the battle he burned his own strength and mental power to explode and severely damage the two mushroom emperors who were caught off guard. Although the three powerful spirits were surprised, they did not do anything stupid, and immediately took action, cooperating with the old witch king who burned himself, and killed the two mushroom emperors on the battlefield in one fell swoop.
The coalition forces took advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale offensive, defeating the mushroom people in one fell swoop and capturing the mushroom people's portal base in this small world. Now all major forces are quickly mobilizing troops from the main world to prepare for an expedition to the mushroom people's native world.
However, these have nothing to do with Lin Xiao and the old Witch King. After killing the two mushroom emperors, the old Witch King, who was seriously injured and dying from burning himself, left the small world and returned to the main world.
Everyone knew that the old Witch King was burning his remaining little life to open up the situation for the main world, and he would die when he returned. After the news spread, all the forces of the ancient contract mourned spontaneously, even the three chiefs of the Eldar were full of admiration at this moment.
Whether it is for his contributions or the fact that he has protected the main world for more than 200,000 years, he deserves their admiration and respect.
One year later, all the forces in the main world received the expected news that the old Witch King died in the Witch King Tower!
