Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

Chapter 72 The Secret Technique of Corpse Reincarnation!

"Your Majesty, the army harvested over 540,000 energy crystals last night."

"The energy crystals collected by the Flower Fairy Legion are also in here."

The elven priestess Anna respectfully handed Lin Yi a spatial ring.

Lin Yi reached out and took it, then probed it with her spiritual consciousness. The next second, she saw the mountain of energy crystals piled up inside the ring space.

"A considerable harvest."

Lin Yi smiled.

He commanded 20,000 elven soldiers, plus several thousand flower elves, and harvested a total of nearly 550,000 energy crystals. On average, each person harvested about twenty energy crystals.

It seems like a pitifully small amount.

After all, he could collect at least tens of thousands of energy crystals from a single trip.

But that's not how the accounts are calculated.

The monsters in the ruins are not endless.

Every one we kill is one less to go.

Moreover, it takes time and effort to search for it.

More than 500,000 energy crystals would require killing roughly 100,000 to 200,000 monsters and undead creatures to obtain. And this is just the northern region; killing that many monsters in one night is already quite impressive.

If his army were to be slaughtered by an endless stream of monsters...

In that one night, let alone 500,000 energy crystals, even 5 million energy crystals could be easily produced.

It seemed as if he had thought of something.

Lin Yi opened the system tasks and took a look.

Just as he expected, the hunting mission issued by the system was completed.

It should have been completed while he was sound asleep last night.

Of course, that's not important.

The important thing is the task reward.

"System, claim your reward!"

—[Congratulations, host! Your territory has successfully slain 10,000 high-level monsters, unlocking the special troop building—the Ancient Tree.]

……

[Ancient Tree: A special troop building that can train Ancient Treant Warriors and Forest Giants.]

[Construction Requirements: 5,000 Energy Crystals.]

……

[Congratulations, host, you have unlocked a new mission.]

[Mission Objective: Rebuild the ancient elven city and ascend the throne of the elven race.]

[Task Reward: All your current elemental affinity talents will reach perfect level.]

[Special Reminder: To successfully ascend the throne of the Elven race, your territory needs the participation of at least three native vassal races from the Elven faction. Currently, you are 1/3 complete.]

……

"This is truly my wonderful system!"

"They've laid out my path to success clearly and precisely."

Lin Yi was overjoyed when she saw the new task released by the system.

Given the rate at which his army is expanding, he should be able to reach the Saint rank very soon.

Then he'll have to study the mysteries of the elements and shape the world of his domain.

The level of elemental affinity directly relates to whether he can quickly comprehend the mysteries of the elements and his future achievements in the realm of laws (demigods).

He currently has affinity for five elements.

Only the affinity with the fire element reaches a perfect level.

The remaining four types are either super-talented or inferior to super-talented.

If the affinity of these four elements also reaches the perfect level, then not only will his speed of comprehending the mysteries of the elements increase exponentially, but his own strength will also become stronger.

There's one more thing.

Lin Yi had previously learned that she possessed an affinity for the elements of time and space.

What he most wants to do is to integrate the mysteries of time and space, and transform them into an even more powerful mysteries of time and space.

If one has a perfect level of affinity, this goal will be much easier to achieve.

This is not a system.

He's practically a father figure!!

"Rebuilding the ancient city of elves is not difficult."

"But I'll ascend the throne of the Elven race..." Lin Yi muttered to himself, "Once Ifra returns to her territory with the Flower Spirit tribe, I can ask her if there are any other intelligent races belonging to the Elven faction in this Forgotten Swamp."

"If you have it, then acquire it as soon as possible."

Once this prerequisite is resolved, the task is half complete.

Moreover, Lin Yi felt that this shouldn't be too difficult. Once he spread the word about his title as the Sun Elf King, those intelligent races belonging to the elven faction would most likely come running.

……

Lin Yi then closed the taskbar.

He turned his gaze to the gray-black magic book in his hand.

"System, repair this spellbook!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light suddenly appeared in the void.

Under the golden light, the tattered magic book was restored to its original, intact state at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the golden light finally disappeared.

—[Congratulations, host! You have successfully repaired a magic book by consuming 10,000 energy crystals.]

The restored spellbook looked brand new.

The whole process was as if time had been reversed, which was quite magical.

"I wonder if I'll be able to do that once I master the power of time."

Time is an incredibly mysterious thing.

It keeps moving forward, forcing all things in the world to their eventual demise.

However, in extremely special circumstances, time can stand still, or even flow backward. Lin Yi longs to be that "special case" who can manipulate time.

Of course, this is Lin Yi's future goal.

He hasn't thought about it too much yet.

He then expertly probed the magic book with his mental consciousness.

The next moment, his consciousness appeared in a completely new void space.

This space is completely different from the flame space that Lin Yi entered before.

It is endless gloom.

It was filled with despair and death.

Within this space, he even saw countless undead slaughtering each other and heard various agonizing wails. This was not something that actually existed in the space, but merely an illusion, yet it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

Much later.

Lin Yi's consciousness withdrew.

He took a few deep breaths to suppress the negative emotions swirling within him.

"I should have guessed it..."

"It's completely grayish-black and made from the skin of an unknown creature, so it can't possibly be anything good."

"In a movie, this would be a definite curse and a dark book!"

The entire magic book records only one secret technique.

Yes, it's a secret technique, not magic.

Its name is [Corpse Witch Reincarnation Secret Technique].

Liches are also undead, and very high-ranking undead at that.

However, liches are rarely generated naturally and often require special methods of transformation.

This magic book contains the method for successfully transforming an ordinary undead into a lich. Once successfully transformed, not only will their power increase dramatically, but their future achievements will also be greater.

It must be admitted that this magic book is extremely valuable.

If Lin Yi were the lord of the undead faction, or rather, the evil and dark faction, then the [Lich Reincarnation Secret Technique] recorded in this magic book might be as valuable to him as a divine artifact.

But the crucial issue is that he is the lord of the elven faction.

This thing was utterly useless to him.

He can't possibly subdue the undead and help them transform into liches, can he?

Although he does have that condition...

The most important thing for transforming a lich is the holy water of life, which contains enormous life energy.

The Holy Water of Life is extremely rare in the Dark Continent.

This is a priceless treasure capable of bringing the dead back to life and restoring flesh to bones.

Others might struggle to find even a single drop, but Lin Yi could have as much as she wanted.

He only needs to upgrade the [Fountain of Magic] by one more level to obtain a continuous supply of Holy Water of Life. Then, combined with the secret techniques recorded in the spellbook, he can easily conjure a lich.
