"Lord Merlin, save me! It really has nothing to do with me! I was framed! Believe me, believe me, I was really framed …"
An esteemed Heaven Rank powerhouse was crying like a bullied brat. Lin Yun was speechless.
"Alright, Sir Morgan, can you get up first?"
After Lin Yun spoke, Morgan wiped his face with his robe and awkwardly stood up. But when he saw the few Spatial Rings in Mariana's hands, a pained expression appeared on his face. But he didn't dare to say anything.
Morgan didn't dare to reply. Morgan's uncle, that old mage, pretended to be dead and stood on the side in shock. He didn't say a word, but his eyes were filled with shock.
How long had it been? Lord Merlin had already advanced to the 6th Rank of the Heaven realm. He was truly a terrifying existence that couldn't be fathomed.
In addition to being powerful, he also had terrifying alchemy skills. The Gilded Rose had already surpassed the Henry Family. Whether it was in terms of status or distribution, they far surpassed the Henry Family.
'I heard that Lord Merlin has a very good relationship with the three deans of the Starry Sky College. He might even be on the verge of becoming a Saint Alchemist.
'Such a terrifying existence. Those idiots of the Senro Family actually said that Lord Merlin is only a lone mage. They are so weak and their vision is so poor. They deserve to die, and those who didn't die shouldn't think of having an easy time. They almost caused us to die this time. Just wait for the Henry Family's retaliation.'
After feeling his body for a bit, Lin Yun glanced at Morgan, who was in a sorry and pitiful state.
"Speak, what happened?"
Lin Yun personally asked, so Morgan could only honestly answer.
"That Senro Family was originally a small family of the Sten Kingdom. They recently took the initiative to look for us and wanted to attach themselves to the Henry Family. We naturally agreed without thinking too much about it.
'Who would have thought that something like this would happen. That scoundrel told me that the alchemy notes they obtained contained a perfect Lich Transformation ritual, but it was snatched away by a lone mage and he asked for my help.
"A flawless Lich Transformation Ritual. Our Henry Family has the most Dark Mages, so it's impossible for them to let it go. I didn't think too much about it, so I followed them. Who knew that I would be tricked by that idiot …"
Lin Yun nodded thoughtfully.
"Did they take the initiative to attach themselves to your family after the incident in the Leviathan Plane?"
Morgan was shocked and nodded obediently.
"That's right, after coming to the Leviathan Plane, they took the initiative to attach themselves to the Henry Family. Moreover, they said that they wanted to contribute to Noscent and take the initiative to join the frontlines …"
Lin Yun frowned as he pondered over the connection between all of this.
"Are there many necromancers in their family?"
Morgan looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"That's right, apart from necromancers, their family only has ice mages. Moreover, the Patriarch is a necromancer. We didn't think much of it when they wanted to attach themselves to our Henry Family, a force with many Dark Mages. This is very normal in itself …"
Lin Yun instantly guessed the gist of the matter.
Someone had definitely completed the Lich Transformation Ritual recorded in the notes and sacrificed everything to the Bloody Lich. This kind of sacrifice was very frightening.
Apart from life, mana, and soul, the memories, personality, and comprehension would all be sacrificed to the Bloody Lich. Usually, when the Bloody Lich wasn't controlling this clone, no one would be able to see anything, because everything was the same as before. It was just that there was an imprint in the depths of the clone's soul, and that was that the only target it was loyal to was the Bloody Lich.
With such a fake Lich stirring up trouble, the Senro Family was secretly carrying out their plan.
Once the Senro Family completed the Lich Transformation Ritual, they would attach themselves to the Henry Family. There would be many Dark Mages, and the Lich Transformation Ritual would be very smooth. At that time, the Henry Family would be controlled by these fake Liches.
It would spread from the Henry Family and slowly erode the other forces.
Just thinking about it made Lin Yun feel a chill down his spine. The Bloody Lich didn't just want victory in this war. If it wasn't the Leviathan Plane, then that guy's plan would be even bigger and more frightening.
He originally thought that the Bloody Lich wanted to create a Lich squad in the Leviathan Plane and then form an Undead Army, but it looked like he had underestimated the Bloody Lich.
That guy simply didn't have such an intention. He was actually planning to directly insert himself into the human forces and directly control them.
At that time, as long as there was internal strife, the deaths of some powerhouses would lead to the birth of even more Undead powerhouses. As long as they gathered and completed the Undead Transformation, no one would be able to stop the Leviathan Plane from being devoured.
Even after the Leviathan Plane was devoured, it wouldn't be difficult for these spies to take advantage of the situation and kill their way into Noscent.
Lin Yun took out the original notes and threw them at Morgan.
"This is the notes you wanted, as long as you have the guts to give it a try."
After easily obtaining the notes he wanted, Morgan was in a daze. He thought for a bit before hurriedly giving the notes back to Lin Yun. He didn't understand what Lin Yun meant, but Morgan understood that these notes definitely weren't anything good.
"Lord Merlin, what's going on?"
Lin Yun put away the notes and sneered.
"A flawless and perfect transformation ritual, would there still be an idiot who would believe in such a thing? If there was such a thing, then why aren't there any Liches in the Undead Plane without flaws? "
Morgan was a bit doubtful and disappointed, but he understood that this was the most likely explanation.
"Isn't it rumored that the few Lich Kings of the Undead Plane are flawless and can never be killed?"
Lin Yun looked at Morgan as if he was looking at an idiot.
"You believe that? If the Lich Kings of the Undead Plane didn't have fatal flaws and couldn't be killed, do you think the Undead Plane would care about the other Undeads? "The Undead Plane would have long been dominated by Liches!
"Even Lich Kings have phylacteries, but they hide their phylacteries in a place that others can't find. Even if they accidentally find out where it is, those who aren't strong enough wouldn't be able to touch it.
"Those Lich Kings obediently acknowledged a skeleton as their King, do you think they were willing? "That's only because that Undead King had the power to thoroughly kill them!"
Hearing that even a Lich King couldn't escape the fate of a Lich, Morgan thoroughly gave up. After all, Lin Yun didn't have a reason to monopolize the notes. Moreover, he simply didn't care about transforming into a Lich. He wasn't even a hundred years old and was already at the 6th Rank of the Heaven realm. He had great prospects and potential, but he would at most research this ritual.
"Lord Merlin, what's going on with that notebook?"
Morgan shook his head, but he wasn't too disappointed. After all, he hadn't planned on transforming into a Lich. It would have been good to let the mages of his family who were already at the end of their lives use it. If he wanted to, transforming into a Lich wouldn't be too difficult.
Lin Yun didn't explain his conjecture in detail and only reminded Morgan.
"This isn't a Lich Transformation Ritual at all. It's a Sacrificial Ritual. Although your body will transform into a Lich without a phylactery to a certain extent, you will no longer be you at that time. Your soul, mana, life, memories, comprehension, and everything else will be sacrificed to a Lich King. You will become a Lich King's puppet or clone.
"You'd better be vigilant when you see a Necromancer …"
Morgan seemed to have thought of something and his expression became somewhat unsightly. He silently nodded.
"Your Excellency Merlin, ever since the war in the Leviathan Dimension, we haven't received any news from you. The situation at the front line isn't very good now. Dean Gandaph of the Starry Sky College has personally appeared at the front line. Previously, there was news that Dean Gandaph had gathered many powerful alchemists and was looking for you.
"But Sir Faleau of the Gilded Rose also didn't have any news of you. No one knows where you are and they can't contact you. I've already retreated from the front lines for over half a month and I'm not too clear about the situation there.
"Many powerhouses have already fallen half a month ago, even a 7th Rank Heaven powerhouse died …"
Lin Yun 'expression slightly changed and he frowned.
"Even a Heaven Ranked Level 7 powerhouse fell? How did a powerhouse of that level fall? Was there an 8th Rank Heaven powerhouse, or even a 9th Rank Heaven powerhouse? "
It was very difficult for a 7th Rank Heaven powerhouse to fall unless there was a huge gap between them. They would only be injured in battle, but they wouldn't fall. At the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm, their comprehension of Laws had already reached an extremely deep level. They could be considered to have truly stepped into the door of grasping Laws, unlike 5th Rank Heaven powerhouses who had only stepped through the door.
At this level of strength, mages were like cockroaches that were very difficult to kill. When in a life or death situation, they could erupt with strength that was several to ten times their normal strength. Even if it consumed their origin and soul energy, they could still survive. After a long period of recuperation, they could completely recover.
If a powerhouse of that level fell, it was most likely that a Level 48 or 49 Undead powerhouse personally made a move.
Morgan shook her head, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes.
"No, it's only a Level 47 Skeleton King. When that Skeleton King appeared on the frontlines, that powerhouse comprehending the Light Law went to fight it. No one thought that it would be difficult at first.
"But in the end, the battle ended and that Skeleton King escaped. As for that light mage, he died less than three days after returning and his corpse didn't even leave behind a complete corpse.
"I don't know the specifics, but I know that a plague started appearing on the frontlines after that. Because of that, our frontlines were pushed back two thousand kilometers …"
Lin Yun remained calm and didn't say anything. A 7th Rank Heaven Mage fighting against a Level 47 Skeleton King, no matter who it was, they would feel that there was no suspense in this battle.
When dealing with the Undead, a light mage's survivability and destructive power would always be at the top of the list. Even a Holy Healing Spell could turn a Low Level Undead into ashes.
But the Skeleton King actually escaped from that battle, and the light mage died from the plague after three days. What kind of plague could infect a 7th Rank Heaven Mage?
Apart from the power of the Plague Lord, no plague could interfere with a light mage of that rank. These light mages had terrifying resistance to plagues. Low Rank Mages might not dare to approach some areas of Noscent after a plague broke out, but Apprentice Mages specializing in light magic would dare to cross that plague zone.
Morgan didn't know much, but Lin Yun could roughly guess the situation on the frontlines.
The Bloody Lich was stirring up trouble in the back, but who was secretly making a move?
That kind of power wasn't something a Bloody Lich could have. At least, a Bloody Lich didn't have the ability to use a plague to get rid of a 7th Rank Heaven Mage.
"Why did they stop after retreating two thousand kilometers? Didn't the Undead take the opportunity to break through the defensive line?"
Those Undead shouldn't have given up on such a good opportunity, yet the humans were actually resisting. This wasn't right, unless they used an 8th Rank Heaven powerhouse or even a 9th Rank Heaven powerhouse.
But if powerhouses of that level made a move, the war would go out of control. With Noscent's current strength, it wouldn't be able to withstand an all-out war with the Undead Plane.
Morgan grinned.
"Isn't it because of those stupid Undead? They just gained a bit of an advantage and started fighting each other over territory, especially the Ghouls. The Undead army was the craziest, biting whoever they saw." We just occupied two thousand kilometers of territory, but those stupid Ghouls started the war first.
"After all, the Mesopotamian Plain between the Leviathan Plane and the Undead Plane is only four to five thousand kilometers wide and six to seven thousand kilometers long." Half a month ago, we only occupied the last two thousand kilometers. If we lost these last two thousand kilometers, the Undead army would have charged straight in and we would have lost this war.
"But fortunately, those stupid Undead simply don't understand this and only think about their own benefits, giving us a chance to breathe …"
Hearing Morgan's rejoicing words, Lin Yun 'expression became somewhat strange.
That area of overlapping space was called the Mesopotamian Plain by the humans, while the Undead called it the Tainted Blood Territory. It was the flattest piece of land in the Leviathan Plane. Seeing the Ghoul army there, Lin Yun couldn't help thinking of a Pygmy Ghoul.
Back then, he had brainwashed Ymir for a limited time, so it couldn't be considered perfect. But he hadn't expected that Ymir would actually make a contribution this time.
Those Undead truly had better brains. They knew that as long as they occupied this huge passage and charged straight in, the humans would thoroughly lose. But Ymir, that shit stirrer, appeared and took a bite or two from one of them. Those Undead thoroughly exploded and didn't care about the overall situation, they just wanted to get rid of those hateful Ghouls first.
Then, the final outcome would inevitably turn into a group of Undead infighting …
After a trip to the Undead, Lin Yun finally understood a principle. As long as the Undead weren't of the same race, it was very easy for them to fight.
If a Zombie glanced at a Skeleton for too long, it might end up killing one of the Skeletons, not to mention the Undead and Dark Creatures. The slightest provocation would definitely cause an explosion.
While Morgan lamented the stupidity of the Undead, Lin Yun inwardly rejoiced. Fortunately, he had instilled a lot of thoughts into Ymir's head. Based on the current situation, Ymir definitely believed that he could only obtain what he wanted by occupying the passage by himself.
He followed Morgan to understand a bit about the situation at the front line before summoning the magic battleship and rapidly flying towards the front line. Lin Yun had a bad premonition that Gandaph had yet to reply to the magic talisman he had sent earlier.
On the way, Lin Yun tried to contact Gandaph again, but there was still no result. He tried to contact Agalon, but there was no response. At this time, the bad premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
He opened the Natural Demiplane and released the recently manufactured magic battleships one after another. There were a total of thirty magic battleship models used in Planar Wars, three 2nd Generation and twenty-seven 1st Generation. They were all controlled by puppets. Even the magic battleships themselves had puppet cores installed. They were like huge clumsy puppets that could only be controlled by other puppets.
The thirty magic battleships floated in the air as they charged towards the front line in a grandiose manner.
On the way, Lin Yun sent Hughes to scout the surroundings of the passage, and the results made Lin Yun sigh in relief.
That overlapping space had been formed after the collision of two planes, and the aftermath of the collision had yet to dissipate. Although the space had overlapped, it was even more unstable than normal space.
Using the power of the 7th Rank of the Heaven realm in the Mesopotamian Plain was already the limit. If a stronger power appeared, the space that had yet to calm down might once again undergo uncontrollable changes.
At that time, the most likely outcome would be the collapse of that several-thousand-kilometer-wide space, which was equivalent to the passage between the Leviathan Plane and the Undead Plane. The Undead Plane was huge enough and wouldn't be afraid of that kind of disaster. At most, the Tainted Blood Lords of the Undead Plane would be thoroughly destroyed. But the Undead wouldn't care about that kind of destruction. What the Undead powerhouses were worried about was losing the opportunity to control a new territory.
If that space collapsed, the impact on the Leviathan Plane would be very likely to destroy the Leviathan Plane. Even if it wasn't thoroughly destroyed, it would still be a disaster that would last for many years. The stable environment of the Leviathan Plane would also be thoroughly destroyed, and the Leviathan Plane would enter the end of the world.
It might have an immeasurable impact on Noscent. No one could be sure that the Leviathan Plane entering the end of the world wouldn't cause a disaster to Noscent if it entered the end of the world.
Lin Yun knew that Noscent would enter the end of the world in the future. Because of the Shelter Tower, the destruction process would be delayed by a few dozen millennia, but the planes attached to Noscent would be destroyed before Noscent. These small planes would be destroyed one after the other.
