Just as the three great guilds had expected, when the three new Shaman Kings appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the allied army rose visibly. Even the leaders of the various factions expressed their goodwill towards them.
The three Spirit Race managers did not immediately take action. Instead, they concealed their auras and cooperated with the commander of the allied army. When the Mushroom Man's vine giant charged into the formation, the three Shaman Kings surrounded it and killed the vine giant in one fell swoop.
The mushroom was shocked and quickly retreated. The old Shaman King made a prompt decision to entangle the other level seven Lava Mushroom Man, enduring the violent attacks of the three Emperor-level mushroom men at the risk of being injured. After the three new Shaman Kings killed the vine giant, the old Shaman King was freed up and left behind the second Mushroom Emperor on the battlefield. Moreover, he captured the Mushroom Emperor alive and used a special spell formation to forcefully trap him.
With this great victory, the low morale of the allied army was swept away, and the reputation of the three Shaman Kings instantly skyrocketed.
They did not waste this sudden increase in morale and reputation. After discussing with the commander of the allied army, they launched an all-out counterattack, sweeping through the entire small world in one go. In just half a year, they killed their way to the last stronghold of the mushroom men in this world.
There were experts among the Children of Spiritland in terms of controlling their emotions. Through the battle, they continuously suppressed the morale of the allied army and Lin Xiao's reputation, all the way until it reached the bottom before suddenly erupting, establishing a huge reputation in the allied army in one go.
In this half a year, they did not just counterattack. During this time, they kept in contact with the leaders of the various factions. They did not hide their ambition to replace the original Shaman King at all, wantonly making promises to rope in the various factions.
Even if they could not rope them in, they would give them enough benefits to maintain a neutral stance, or even slow down at a critical moment.
If they were asked to overthrow the current Shaman King, many of the major factions would not agree. However, if it was only to maintain a neutral stance or slow down at a critical moment, most of the factions would agree.
After all, he had not been a Shaman King for long, and his relationship with the various factions was not that good.
Strictly speaking, the three great sects had already been in this world for thousands of years, and they had a certain relationship with the various great powers. Lin Xiao had only been in the Sea King's Realm for a few hundred years, and he had spent most of his time in the Sea King's Realm. To the various powers, he was actually an outsider who had suddenly appeared.
If not for the fact that the old Shaman King was nearing the end of his lifespan, he would have been the only new Shaman King capable of shouldering this responsibility. If there were any other powerhouses of the seventh level, this Shaman King position would never have been his.
So …
In the Mage King Pagoda, Lin Xiao, who had finished his seclusion, sat quietly in the center of the Star Observation Platform. In front of him was the projection of the old Mage King. He picked up the Spirit-Clearing Tea on the crystal coffee table in front of him and took a sip.
"So, the three of them have plans to replace me?"
He smiled as he poured himself another cup of Spirit Cleansing Tea. He slowly drank it and said,
"Oh, good tea. This is very normal. Normal people have ambitions, so it's not surprising. The three great sects are in cahoots, and they definitely want to seize the position of a lone outsider like me. I already know that. Sir, how are your injuries?"
The old Shaman King also raised a cup of Spirit Cleansing Tea in front of him and took a light sip. A wisp of white mist rose from the surface of the tea, rapidly forming a white mist tornado that flew into his nose. Soon, a large wisp of white mist tornado was sucked away, and the tea in the cup disappeared as well.
Exhaling a breath of white air, the old Shaman King said, "My injuries are not important.
In any case, I'm already old and don't have many years left to live. It's just that if they want to seize your position, there will definitely be conflict. This will be a loss to this world. "
Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the exquisite teacup in front of him. He spun it in his hand and suddenly gave an irrelevant answer.
"Sir, make a guess. If I were to fight with them, who would win?"
The old Shaman King thought for a moment and said,
"Normally speaking, their chances of winning are higher, but for some reason, I keep having the feeling that you won't lose. Although my true body isn't here and the Shaman King Pagoda also has a Shaman Formation that suppresses one's senses, I can't sense your strength right now. However, sitting before you right now, I don't know why, but my heart palpitates."
At this point, the old Shaman King looked seriously at Lin Xiao and asked,
"Tell me, have you broken through?"
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded.
"I've already successfully condensed a second true body!"
The old Shaman King's eyes instantly widened, filled with disbelief.
"You didn't advance to level eight but condensed a second true body?"
"I've made it very clear!"
The worry in the old Shaman King's eyes was instantly swept away. He poured himself a cup of refreshing tea and drank it. Instantly, he felt much more relaxed. After drinking it, he smacked his lips and said with a smile,
"Since that's the case, I'm relieved."
He didn't even ask how he advanced. As a bigshot who had lived for more than two hundred thousand years, he still knew some taboos. Unless he said it himself, he definitely couldn't ask.
However, he could ask about other things. After chatting for a while, the old Shaman King seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked,
"Right, you went to the Emerald Dream Realm to help Her Excellency Tishar suppress the balance of the Emerald Dream Realm. How is it now? Why can't I sense the existence of her and the Emerald Dream Realm? "
"This …"
Lin Xiao was slightly stunned. He drank the refreshing tea in his mouth and looked up.
"Before that, there's something I need to tell you. Tishar is now my wife."
This time, it was the old Shaman King's turn to be stunned. Moreover, he was stunned for quite a long time. He seemed to have recovered from his shock after a long time.
"I understand."
Lin Xiao didn't mind the old Shaman King's strangeness. There was nothing to say. With the Emerald Queen's beauty and temperament, any man would fall in love with her. It was normal for the old Shaman King to fall in love with her after knowing her for so long.
It was just like how a beautiful woman on the street would definitely attract the attention of passing men. He couldn't possibly get angry just because someone else looked at her.
He continued, "The Emerald Dream Realm has disappeared.
She has now fused with her other self in the depths of the Emerald Dream Realm and has now turned into an imprint on my body. "
At their level, most things could be understood with just a hint. There was no need for him to waste his breath to explain. The old Shaman King understood immediately.
After hearing this, he let out a long sigh and said seriously,
"Protect her well!"
He nodded with a serious expression.
"I will."
After a long silence, the two of them kept drinking tea. After a long while, the old Shaman King recovered and said,
"Do you need me to do anything?"
Lin Xiao knew what he was referring to. He shook his head and said,
"Do you think I'll be afraid of three people who have just advanced to Rank Seven?"
Even if the three of them attacked together, he could easily suppress them. His Secondary True Body was that confident.
"However, I do need your help with something."
"What is it?"
"I can't stay in this world for long. I still have very important things to do. Originally, I was prepared to wait a few thousand years for a new Guardian to arrive before passing on my position, but now, my plan can't keep up with the changes. I have already formed my Secondary True Body and am strong enough to do something. I need to leave, but the position of Shaman King can't be left empty. I also don't want the people of the Ling Tribe to benefit. I need a new Guardian to take over my position."
"This …"
The old Shaman King frowned and shook his head.
"I can't help you with this matter. I only have a few hundred years of lifespan. After this injury, I can only live for less than a hundred years. I can't take over, and no new Guardian has been born in this world. I'm afraid …"
"No, you can."
“？？？”
The old Shaman King was puzzled.
Lin Xiao said,
"I have a secret method that can strip away all your current power and let your soul retain your current memories to reincarnate. When you reincarnate, I'll give you all your current power. At that time, you'll only need a few decades to advance to Rank Seven and become a Guardian. At that time, you'll be able to return to Rank Eight in less than a hundred years. You'll be able to live for hundreds of thousands of years and even improve in the future."
In the past, this might have been a little troublesome. However, after advancing to the Secondary True Body, Lin Xiao's current strength was definitely not inferior to any great Divine Power. Moreover, he had grasped the corresponding Divine Title …
Yes, it was now called Law.
Especially now that he had grasped half of the Law of Time. In addition, he was the chief Guardian of this world. The old Shaman King was the previous Guardian, so it was almost effortless for him to operate.
Although the old Shaman King was already prepared to die, he was still in a daze when he suddenly heard the news of being reincarnated. He continued to have an uncontrollable desire to be reincarnated.
This was human nature. Anyone would be willing.
"There's no time to lose. Your Secondary True Body can come back now."
The sooner he reincarnated, the sooner he could take over the responsibility. Lin Xiao could not wait any longer.
However, the old Shaman King was not in a hurry.
He said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry. In any case, this life is about to end. Let me burn the last of my strength. Wait for me for a month!"
Lin Xiao understood what he meant and nodded.
The old Shaman King's projection collapsed, turning into starlight that filled the sky and converging into a stream of light that escaped into the void and disappeared.
Half a month later, Lin Xiao received news from the frontlines that the old Shaman King had suddenly charged into the Mushroom Man's camp. In the battle, he had burned his strength and spiritual energy, and in an explosive burst, severely injuring the two Mushroom Great Emperors who had been caught off guard. Although the three experts of the Spirit Tribe were very surprised, they did not play any tricks. They immediately took advantage of the situation and cooperated with the old Shaman King who had burned his own body to kill the two Mushroom Great Emperors on the battlefield.
The allied forces took advantage of the situation to launch an all-out attack, defeating the Mushroom Men in one fell swoop and taking down the teleportation gate base of the Mushroom Men in this small world. Now, the various major factions were rapidly mobilizing their forces from the Main World, preparing for an expedition to the Mushroom Men's native world.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Lin Xiao and the old Shaman King. After killing the two Mushroom Great Emperors, the old Shaman King, who had burned his own body and was on the verge of death, left the small world and returned to the Main World.
Everyone knew that the old Shaman King was burning what little life he had left to open up the situation for the Main World. He would definitely die if he returned. When the news spread, the various factions of the Ancient Contract spontaneously mourned. Even the three leaders of the Spirit Tribe were filled with reverence at this moment.
Regardless of whether it was his sacrifice or the fact that he had protected the Main World for over two hundred thousand years, he was worthy of their reverence and respect.
A year later, the various factions of the Main World received the expected news that the old Shaman King had died in the Shaman King Pagoda!
