With the help of his soul that was thousands of times more powerful, Lin Xiao easily lit up the Light of Dawn and successfully formed his truesoul.
He extracted the remaining Ancient Titan God Bloodline from the Tesseract of Good Fortune and fused it with his body. His body expanded uncontrollably, growing larger and larger. At the same time, a dazzling halo slowly expanded from his feet, expanding as his strength grew.
It was a halo unique to a rank 4 wizard, and it was also a symbol of their identity. Any rank 4 wizard would have this halo after their promotion.
The halo was equivalent to the domain of a demigod. It could suppress the enemy and increase the user's strength. The specific increase depended on the user's strength and the spells they had mastered.
At first, a wizard's halo only had one suppressive function. It could be one of the basic laws of strength, speed, defense, and so on. It could also be a special law that a rank 4 wizard had mastered.
However, after each promotion, a wizard could choose to strengthen the original law or add another suppressive or amplifying law.
Lin Xiao chose the most common law of speed. Within the halo, he could increase his speed by 200% at most. Allies he recognized could increase their speed by 100% at most. Enemies' speed would be suppressed by 100% at most. The greater the difference in strength, the greater the suppression.
He did not care too much about the halo. After all, he did not rely on it to fight his enemies. It mainly depended on his own strength.
With the integration of the Ancient Titan Bloodline and the formation of his truesoul, his body began to gradually transform from a mortal body to a truesoul.
This truesoul did not refer to his true Titan Body, but to a special physical state. In this world, when one's strength reached a certain level and met certain conditions, one could form a unique body. This unique body was called the truesoul and had extremely powerful strength.
Fusing with the Ancient God Titan's bloodline was absolutely unique in this world. Therefore, when all the Ancient God Titan's bloodline accumulated in the Rubik's Cube of Fortune had been fused, Lin Xiao discovered that it was possible for him to form a true body.
However, he had just promoted and had just integrated the bloodline. If he wanted to form a truesoul, he would have to fully master this bloodline before he could start forming a truesoul.
At this time, Lin Xiao stretched out his hands that were covered with golden runes and raised them. The surrounding seawater slightly surged, and the turbulent undercurrents surged. With him as the center, the sea surface with a diameter of five to six kilometers was slowly lifted up.
On the surface of the sea a few kilometers away, a sea serpent man covered in fine blue scales and wearing an exquisite robe stepped on the surface of the water. He looked at the golden giant standing on the surface of the sea from afar and praised, "That's right.
"What a powerful force!"
Beside him were several powerful merfolk and a human general in blue armor. Another female sea serpent said to the human general, "Don't worry, the Sea Serpent.
"We know all the humans in the empire who are about to advance to this stage, but I don't think we've seen this human before."
The human general replied with a puzzled expression.
"I do know all the human powerhouses who are about to advance, but I've never seen this one before."
The leader of the Sea Serpents laughed.
"There's no need to dwell on this. It's not important. What's important is whether he's willing to serve the empire."
He said to the human general:
"You are of the same race as him. You represented the empire to negotiate with him and asked if he was willing to join the empire."
The blue-armored general nodded and took a step forward. He turned into a ball of blue water and disappeared into the water.
In the middle of the sea, Lin Xiao, who was adapting to his power, suddenly paused and turned to look to the right. A few seconds later, a ball of water rose and turned into a human man in blue armor. He performed a strange salute that he had never seen before and said in a deep voice:
"I'm Blue Jade, the commander of the sixth army of the Sea King Empire. I'm here to invite you to join the Sea King Empire on the orders of the Sea King Emperor."
"The Sea King Empire!"
It was the only ruling power in this world. Both the merfolk and humans were under its rule.
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment. It looked like he was considering these words, but it was just an act. He knew a little about this world and knew he had no choice.
After a few seconds of pondering, he replied:
"I'm honored to serve the empire!"
"Very good!"
Hearing his reply, the Sea King Emperor was very happy.
He smiled and said, "Then from now on, you will be a member of the empire."
Lin Xiao slowly retracted his power and responded with a smile.
He had thought of this a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not have openly promoted on the sea.
Now that he had become a rank 4 wizard, the resources he had accumulated for promotion were almost used up. It would be very difficult for him to promote again. If he relied on himself to find and accumulate resources, it would take a long time. Therefore, joining a large force was the only choice.
As the most powerful force in this world, the Sea King Empire not only ruled all the territories in this world, but also often invaded other worlds through spatial rifts. This was what he valued.
Conquering a world would definitely give him a huge amount of resources. He would be able to obtain a huge amount of resources if he was there. Among them, the most useful were the souls of foreign creatures.
Although he had given up on the path of a Soul Apostle, the Lord of the Cunning World and the Soul Apostle gave him an idea.
Devouring two hundred thousand souls was enough for him to become a rank 4 wizard. What if he could accumulate millions of souls?
Or hundreds or even tens of millions of souls?
Would he be able to forcefully promote in one go if he accumulated enough souls?
It was hard to say, but the possibility was very high. After all, it had been proven before.
Speaking of which, humans were really complicated creatures. Lin Xiao was so determined not to devour souls and walk the path of a Soul Apostle. However, after devouring souls to greatly increase his strength, his determination wavered.
"As expected, my willpower is not firm enough!"
However, he had no choice. Time waited for no man. He could not take the traditional path of spending hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years to slowly promote. By that time, it would be too late.
Of course, he would not walk the path of a Soul Apostle. He had the Tesseract of Fortune that could purify souls. How could he be controlled by others?
After joining the Sea King Empire, Lin Xiao was arranged to be a high-ranking staff officer in the empire's military. It was a position with high status but no real power.
This was the path that all powerhouses who had just joined the empire had to take. No one would give you a high position of real power from the beginning.
Lin Xiao did not have any objections. He could use this time to understand the structure and power structure of the Sea King Empire. He could also take some time to condense his true body.
The promotion was over, but the growth of his strength was not. The power of his bloodline had not been fully developed.
The power of the Sea King Empire was divided into three parts. The most powerful part was the Sea King and the Eighteen Sea Kings, who controlled all the military forces of the empire.
Strictly speaking, the army of the empire belonged to the empire. However, in reality, they were under the control of the Sea King and the Eighteen Sea Kings. These Sea Kings were strong and weak. The weakest had a powerful army, and the strongest Sea King was not inferior to the Sea King.
It was worth mentioning that the army commander, deputy commander, and division commander of the empire were all Rank 4 Wizards. Lin Xiao was qualified to be a division commander after becoming a Rank 4 Wizard. However, he was new to the empire and could not become a division commander.
The number of the empire's army was limited. One could not become a division commander before a new division commander appeared.
Lin Xiao appeared in the territory of the Sea King. However, it did not mean that he was a subordinate of the Sea King. He belonged to the empire's military, unless he was willing to serve under the Sea King.
In fact, when he arrived at the capital of the Sea King Empire, before he could settle down, he met with many messengers from the Sea King and the Sea King. They tried to rope him in, but he did not agree to any of them.
Lin Xiao rejected them without hesitation. He was not afraid of offending anyone. As a Rank 4 Wizard, he was the strongest after the Sea Kings. As long as he did not make any big mistakes, no one could do anything to him.
The Sea King and the Sea Kings would not do anything to him because of his rejection.
In the following days, Lin Xiao kept a low profile. He either went to the Imperial Library or stayed at home.
The capital of the Sea King Empire was a super-large underwater city built in the sea. A huge wizard formation enveloped the entire city and sunk it into the sea. There were a few huge islands around the city, and there were a few imperial legions stationed on the islands and in the nearby sea.
Lin Xiao's residence was located within the Imperial Capital, but he liked to go fishing on a nearby island whenever he was free, looking aloof from worldly affairs. After a long time, the upper echelons of the Empire knew that this expert who had just joined the Empire appeared to be very idle and unambitious.
Three years had passed. One day, Lin Xiao was about to go fishing when he suddenly received an order to go to the Sea King's palace to see the Sea King.
Lin Xiao immediately knew that his leisurely days were over. The Sea King probably could not bear to see such a powerful fighter like him wandering around, so he found something for him to do.
The Sea King's palace was located in the center of the capital. The core of the super-large wizard formation was located in the palace.
The current Sea King, Lin Xiao, had met him when he first arrived. However, he was wearing thick armor and could not see his face clearly. He only knew that the Sea King was very tall. It was said that the Sea King's original form was a huge dragon whale. Lin Xiao did not know the exact size because the Sea King had not fought for many years.
The Sea King's personality was very swift and decisive. He did not waste any time and went straight to the point.
"After discussion with the empire's military, you will be promoted to the rank of Major General. You will be appointed as the Deputy Commander of the 13th Legion and the Commander of the 13th Legion's 3rd Division. Please take up the position within a month."
"Yes, Sir!"
Lin Xiao accepted the order doubtfully.
He had heard of the 13th Legion before. It was one of the main legions of the empire under Poseidon's command. It was ranked second among the four major legions under Poseidon's command. There were five rank 4 Sorcerers and a rank 5 Legion Commander in the legion.
"Why am I being transferred there?"
Lin Xiao held the appointment letter and left the capital for the 13th Legion's encampment. It was more than four thousand kilometers away from the capital.
When he arrived at the encampment of the 13th Legion, he immediately understood why he was transferred there.
Other than recruiting a Rank 4 Wizard, the main reason was that the 13th Legion was severely injured during a mission. Of the five Rank 4 Wizards, two died, one was heavily injured, and the rest were all injured.
In order to maintain the strength of the legion and guard the passage to the foreign world, he was transferred to be the Deputy Commander.
Lin Xiao did not know what mission it was. It was a secret mission that was not made public. He only knew that it was very dangerous and seemed to be not over yet.
With the Sea King's orders and his powerful strength, Lin Xiao only spent half a month to successfully take over the 3rd Division and become the Deputy Commander of the 13th Legion. He was one of the most powerful generals in the empire.
There were five divisions in the 13th Imperial Legion, and each division had about ten battalions. Each battalion had about ten thousand soldiers.
In other words, each Division had at least a hundred thousand soldiers. The 13th Legion had five Divisions and battalions. Different Divisions had different numbers of soldiers. The total number of soldiers was about six hundred thousand. Including twice the number of logistics and auxiliary soldiers, the total number of soldiers was close to two million.
An empire that ruled a large world and colonized a large number of foreign worlds would have about thirty Legions in total. It was normal for each Legion to have two million soldiers. After all, the standard combat power of each Legion was calculated to be able to take down a weak world alone.
Even the Legions of the major military regions in the human world had a large number of demigods as reserves in addition to the official members of the true gods.
In addition, if the Legions had a firm foothold in the various worlds, they would generally train a large number of native troops. Any mature Legions could easily pull out millions of native troops.
The key was that these native troops were not ordinary soldiers. Most of them had undergone professional training and were well-equipped. Many of the elites were not weak Wizards.
Although Lin Xiao's Colossus Legion did not have anything right now, once he took down the CY- 00801 crystal wall universe, he would immediately be able to summon an enormous army of locals that was not weak.
Speaking of which, Lin Xiao found that he had become quite busy since he became a God. Not to mention that his clones were not free, even his real body was forced to take the risk of leaving the divine realm and the main world. But he had no choice. Fate always forced him to be busy. If he was really free, it meant that he was not doing well.
Most of the soldiers in the 13th Legion were ordinary soldiers, but each Division and battalions had a large number of extraordinary professionals. There was no lack of Level Two and Level Three Wizards.
Wizards were the mainstream profession in the Wizard World, but there were actually other professions outside of wizards. In other words, the different professions of different worlds and races were collectively called wizards, but they were subdivided into different categories.
For example, there were warriors or knights who specialized in strengthening their bodies, magic professions, or bloodline professions, or wizards who fused with the flesh and blood of powerful creatures to strengthen themselves, and so on.
For example, the mainstream professions in the world where the Sea King Empire was located were bloodline wizards and strengthening wizards. Most of the Seafolk exploited the power of their own bloodline to strengthen themselves. The upper limit of their bloodline determined the upper limit of their strength.
