The organization Julian belonged to was called the True Underworld Council, and the founder was True Underworld Ancestor.
Back then, before True Ming Progenitor had become a progenitor, he was competing with another powerful existence who was close to becoming a progenitor. He had recruited a large number of Children of Spirit Realm from the Spirit Realm Main World to this world. After True Ming Progenitor became a progenitor, his faction did not disband. Instead, it grew stronger.
A large number of Children of Spirit came to the Sorcerer World through True Underworld Ancestor's authority and kept their memories. They were scattered in different worlds.
Many people, including Julian, did not think that True Underworld Ancestor wanted to conquer the Sorcerer World. It was impossible, even if he became an Ancestor.
As the most powerful world in the Chaos Void Ocean, the Sorcerer World had many Primogenitors. The Sorcerer World might not be able to defeat it even if all the Divine Territory civilizations joined forces. Julian guessed that True Nether Primogenitor's goal was to find the great enemy who had competed with him for the Primogenitor position.
Of course, guesses were just guesses. Even if most of the Children of Spirit Realm had guessed this, they would not be interested in looking for it. Existences of that level were not something they could come into contact with. They were more interested in using the channel that Zhen Ming Progenitor had opened to grow in the Sorcerer World.
True Underworld Ancestor could become an Ancestor in the Sorcerer World, so they had the same dream.
At first, Julian wanted to rely on his own ability and talent to work hard. However, reality was cruel. No matter how hard he worked, his strength grew very slowly. Seeing that the Children of Spirit were catching up or surpassing him, he could not help but bow to reality and marry a fellow race member whom he did not like.
With the support of his wife, who was one of the three leaders of the True Underworld Council in this world, Julian was able to condense several Spirit Orbs in a short two hundred years. He successfully lit up the Light of Soul and became a Rank 4 Sorcerer. He was considered one of the powerful beings in the True Underworld Council and also one of the higher-ups in his wife's Azure Sect.
The sect they belonged to was not a pure Children of Spirit. It was a powerful force in this world. However, after more than a hundred thousand years of infiltration, the entire sect was now under their control. The higher-ups were all Descended Children of Spirit.
They followed the rules of the world and occasionally went on expeditions to foreign worlds to plunder resources, laws, and origins, contributing to the growth of this world.
After all, for the powerful Children of Spiritual Realm of this world, their initial plan was to infiltrate from the inside. Many of the Children of Spiritual Realm had already viewed this world as theirs. Just like many of the True Underworld Council's branches in other worlds, they had quietly infiltrated and controlled this world.
The strength of the world also represented their strength as a whole. They knew this very well.
As a rank 4 wizard, he was the main combat force of the expedition. If it was a weaker world, he would be the main combat force.
This time, Julian's guild was attacking a small world. At the beginning of the exploration, the strongest people were only a few Level 4 native powerhouses. They thought that they could easily defeat them, but when they attacked and conquered about half of the world, they found that this world was a colony world of a more powerful world.
As a result, the war escalated. The guild had sent several rank 5 Dawn Magi to personally lead two new armies into that world, but they were still unable to suppress it. Now, Julian's group was the second batch of reinforcements.
The main reason was that they had led two new armies as reinforcements. There were no new rank 5 Magi, and the guild's previous assessment was that the new world was not too strong. The guild could suppress it.
At the same time, the guild was very interested in this new world. If they could deal with it, they would not mind changing the target of their attack to this new world.
This war had a huge impact on Julian's Azure Guild. They had already mobilized nearly half of the guild's strength, but to the vast Sorcerer World, it was not a big deal. This was especially so as the Azure Guild had deliberately concealed the news. Coupled with the fact that the upper echelons of the Sorcerer World were discussing the new successor of the Shaman King, no one paid attention to this.
Compared to the discussions of the natives of the Sorcerer World, the upper echelons of the True Underworld Council had the biggest reaction to this matter.
According to their plan, as long as any of the three leaders advanced to rank 7, they would choose to become the protector of this world. Then, when the old Shaman King died, as the only successor, the position of Shaman King would be theirs.
For this reason, the three leaders had reached an agreement. No matter who advanced to rank 7 and became the Shaman King, they had to ensure that the interests of the other two leaders would not be infringed.
This was a good idea. They had reached a consensus internally to wait for the first person to advance to rank 7. However, before this day came, they suddenly heard that the position of Shaman King, which they thought was already theirs, had been taken by someone else. How could the three leaders accept this? They immediately searched for information about the new Shaman King through the channels of the True Underworld Council.
However, the results were once again beyond their expectations. There was no information internally, and this was the first time they had even heard of this name.
However, from the name, it did not seem like a native. It was very similar to the style of the children of the divine realm in the human world. However, they could not be sure before they saw the person. The three leaders discussed and decided to wait until they saw the person in person during the succession ceremony.
Time passed day by day. Lin Xiao, who had been immersed in the sea of knowledge, was finally awakened by the old Shaman King. He knew that the succession ceremony had begun.
On this day, he changed into a luxurious robe and was led by the old Shaman King to a quiet room to wait.
Here, he needed to communicate with the will of the world and express his wishes to the will of the world. If the will of the world acknowledged him, he would be the new master of the Shaman King Pagoda. The succession ceremony outside was just a formality for outsiders to see and would not affect his position.
As the guardian of the world, he was born with the ability to communicate with the will of the world. Lin Xiao had been the Son of Gaia in the main world and had many experiences in communicating with the will of Gaia. After sitting quietly in the quiet room for a while, a mysterious will descended from the void. He spoke expressionlessly.
"I am willing to become the guardian of the world until this day, ten thousand years later!"
The mysterious will descended, and the quiet room became extremely quiet.
The so-called test was actually an oath. Moreover, the time limit was ten thousand years. As long as one did not betray or give up, one could continue to be re-elected. The old Shaman King had been re-elected more than twenty times and had been the master of the Shaman King Pagoda for more than two hundred thousand years.
This time limit was still very long for Lin Xiao, but it was much better than being in a permanent position. Moreover, there were many reasons for him to resign when he had to leave.
In less than five minutes, Lin Xiao felt an abundant source energy surge towards him. His strength rapidly increased, and at the same time, a piece of information regarding the authority of the chief guardian appeared in his mind. He carefully checked it.
There were no earth-shattering changes. From now on, he was the new chief guardian, the Shaman King of the Sorcerer World, and the Sorcerer with the greatest authority in this world.
"Rumble …!"
The stone door slowly opened, and the old Shaman King and the beautiful Jade Empress Tishar appeared at the door. The old Shaman King, who was clearly older, said to him:
"Greetings, new guardian of the world!"
Lin Xiao returned the greeting.
The Jade Empress Tishar gave him a strange greeting that he had never seen before and said:
"Congratulations, Your Excellency. According to the ancient contract, Your Excellency will have to make a trip to the Emerald Dream Realm soon."
He looked at the old Shaman King in confusion and nodded:
"You will know when you get there. This is also a good thing for you."
Lin Xiao nodded and put away the doubts in his heart.
At this moment, the old Shaman King smiled and said to him:
"Then, Your Excellency, the new guardian of the world, please follow me to meet the people who signed the ancient contract!"
The old Shaman King held his wooden staff and turned to leave. Lin Xiao bowed to the beautiful Jade Empress:
"Beautiful lady, please!"
The Jade Empress Tishar's emerald-like eyes gazed at him. Her expressionless face revealed a rare smile, and she nodded slightly to indicate that she was leaving.
In a spacious golden hall, the warm ceiling lamp emitted a soft yellow light. Together with the wall lamps, the entire hall was illuminated in gold and jade.
Dressed in gold and silver, black dresses, and silhouettes that looked like nobles were in pairs. They either danced elegantly to the beautiful music of the band in the corner of the hall, or gathered in twos and threes to chat. Occasionally, they would raise their cups and drink when they saw someone familiar.
Amidst the soft and soothing sound of the harp and flute, there was also the sound of a small triangular zither. The soft yellow light illuminated the figures in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on this beautiful night, something that will affect our entire world is about to happen!"
A middle-aged man dressed in exquisite gifts stood in the center of the stage and said in an impassioned voice to the figures on the stage below:
"The moon tonight is so bright. Beautiful ladies, you make the moonlight pale in comparison. On this exciting day, let us invite today's main character, our new master of the Shaman King Tower, His Majesty Lin Xiao!"
The light changed and shone on a light door behind the stage. A faint ripple spread out and the space became hazy. Three figures appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
The representatives of different factions and races in the hall all looked at the only unfamiliar man among the three figures, Yang Zhong. They were all very surprised. Among them, the three Children of Spiritual Realm, a young man, an old man, and a woman, were the most shocked.
The three of them looked at each other. One of the men, who was wearing a long robe that couldn't hide his strong muscles, pinched the space between his eyebrows and transmitted to his two companions:
"There should be no mistake. They are human Descenders."
"This is very disadvantageous for us!"
"He must die!"
"Agreed!"
"I also agree!"
Almost instantly, while the representatives of other factions were still guessing his identity, the three Children of Spiritual Realm from Spiritual Realm had already reached a consensus.
The ceremony didn't change because of their decision. The other ancient contracts didn't know Lin Xiao's identity. There were those who rejected him, and there were also those who supported him.
But no matter what they thought, it couldn't change the fact that he was already the master of the Shaman King Tower.
