Birth, old age, illness and death are undoubtedly extreme situations that all mortals must face, and they are also the most likely causes of intense mood swings and even psychological imbalance.
The more powerful those who hold huge wealth and resources, or those who have a strong thirst for knowledge, are often more reluctant to die and eager to prolong their lives through various methods.
For this reason, they will change their temperament drastically and do many crazy things that ordinary people can't even imagine.
Especially those like Antonidas who witnessed the enviable long lifespan of the high elves with their own eyes, and saw that elf princes like Kael'thas maintained their young and handsome faces when he was still an apprentice, and even after decades of
There hasn't been any change in hundreds of years, how could you not be envious and jealous?
In fact, this is also the biggest gap between human mages and high elf mages.
Even though the two sides have been closely communicating and cooperating for thousands of years.
In the original timeline, the reason why Antony Dath was able to die heroically as the Kirin Tor Council and the supreme leader of Dalaran was because he did not come into contact with the Lich King Ner'zhul in advance like Kel'Thuzad.
I didn’t even know that there was a way to transform a lich into immortality in this world.
But now, due to the wings of Zuo Si's butterfly, he had direct contact with the Lich King in advance. He had been whispered in his ears by the other party for several months, and his original firm stance would inevitably waver.
Never underestimate these whispers from the spirit and soul realm.
Is "Big Cousin" Neltharion, King of the Black Dragon, powerful enough?
Its hard power is even superior to the other four guardian dragons, and it is also blessed by the power of the Titans. It can easily tear the earth apart and forcibly change the terrain and landforms of a continent.
But what’s the result?
After being whispered to by the ancient god N'Zoth for a while, he went completely crazy. Not only did his temperament change drastically, but his whole family joined the battle and formulated a plan to destroy the planet beneath his feet.
So when Antony Das' attitude suddenly changed, Zuo Si almost guessed the result.
The reason why he did not intervene immediately was because he was waiting for an opportunity to drive a nail into the ranks of the Scourge.
After all, the biggest difference between the lich in Faerûn and the lich in Azeroth is that they are immune to mind control.
Even those high-level undead-controlling and undead-dominating spells can hardly affect the top undead like the Lich.
This also means that as long as Antonidas does not take the initiative to show resistance, neither Ner'zhul nor Arthas in the future will be able to detect that this great lich is actually not under control at all.
What's more, Zuo Si also wanted to try whether he could create an advanced version of Faerun Lich with the help of the infinite arcane energy of the Sunwell.
If the answer is yes, then he will directly ask the lich organized by the Arcane Society to come here collectively to strengthen it.
Even more uses for sunwells will be developed.
Of course, the most ideal situation is to arrive before the World Tree and Well of Eternity explode, stop Malfurion's prodigal behavior, and preserve the last Well of Eternity in the world, rather than blowing it up as a one-time consumable.
Antony Das had no loyalty to the Lich King in the first place. It was entirely out of unwillingness and fear of aging and death, so after a little thought, he agreed to Zuo Si's proposal.
After all, not long ago, he witnessed with his own eyes how weak and humble Kel'Thuzad and Arthas, two of the Lich King's most capable men, were in front of the real top brass of the Burning Legion.
At the same time, he was also shocked by the brief battle between Zuo Si and Archimonde, and unconsciously greatly increased his expectations for the power of the God of Contract.
At least judging from the current performance, the ray of consciousness coming from the god in front of him is obviously much stronger than the Lich King Ner'zhul.
In order to pick up the thicker thighs, Antony Das finally chose the former.
Moreover, he compared the advantages and disadvantages of the two lich transformation rituals and found that the one from Faerûn was undoubtedly more advanced.
If the body is maintained well enough, even after hundreds or even thousands of years, it can still maintain the approximate appearance of when it was alive, instead of the inevitable undead transformation of the entire body like Kel'Thuzad, which looks eerie and scary.
Very uncomfortable.
In this way, with Zuo Si's guidance and help, the Archmage quickly completed the production of the semi-finished life box, drank the poison that had been prepared for him long ago, and lay in the liquid energy of the sun well, feeling the strong and powerful
An extremely painful death comes.
In a blink of an eye!
He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and could no longer stretch and beat normally.
The blood in the whole body stagnated as the heart stopped beating, followed by chest tightness, chest pain and difficulty breathing. His eyes began to turn black involuntarily, and he lost consciousness after a while.
There is no doubt that this is what death feels like, physical death to be exact.
When brain cells began to die in large areas due to lack of oxygen, Antony Das' soul, which felt like darkness all around him, finally began to leave his body and float slowly in a slightly bluish color.
But the next second...
The huge magic circle arranged around the sunwell suddenly began to glow, and extracted arcane energy from the highly concentrated liquid pure water, which was also mixed with some shadow and death energy.
In an instant, the soul was preserved in the phylactery placed above the body.
At the same time, the archmage's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he jumped up in a carp-like posture that even young people could not do.
Immediately, a biting chill like Kel'Thuzad shot out from the eyeballs, and even the bones, muscles and skin turned pale and slightly bluish in the ultra-low temperature state.
Among them, paleness is the visual effect of blood completely coagulating at low temperatures, while bluishness is the slight overflow caused by the high concentration of arcane and frost energy flowing in the body.

You don’t need to ask to know that Zuo Si has made some improvements to the Lich Transformation Ceremony in Faerûn based on the energy characteristics and rules of this world, and at the same time absorbed the Scourge Legion
Advantages of Lich Transformation Ritual.
At this moment, although Antonidas still looks human in appearance, his life essence is already an out-and-out lich.
Coupled with the unlimited energy provided by the Sunwell during the ritual, he has completely surpassed his former disciple Kel'Thuzad and become one of the most powerful lichs in Azeroth.
Although not as flamboyant in appearance as the latter, the biggest feature of Faerun's lich is that its appearance is not much different from ordinary zombies and skeletons.
Except for experienced adventurers and spellcasters, it is difficult for rookies and ordinary people to distinguish their true identities.
Only when these lichs begin to chant powerful spells, or release creepy fearful auras, will they recognize that these are not ordinary low-level undead creatures, but terrifying top-level undead creatures that can destroy their own group.
.
"Now, do you feel the huge gap between me and that trash Ner'zhul?" Zuo Si looked at the other person and asked meaningfully.
Antonidas nodded enthusiastically: "Of course, I feel it.
Compared to Kel'Thuzad's flawed lich form, a lich like me is the most perfect.
You can even cast all the arcane and elemental magic you have learned during your lifetime without any restrictions.
Please allow me to apologize for my previous distrust and suspicion.
From this day on, you are my master, and I will serve your great plan with loyalty."
After saying that, the Archmage put one hand on his chest and bowed gracefully.
After gaining eternal life, the original anxiety and tension in his eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a kind of worship from the heart.
Through the Lich Commissioner Ceremony, Antonidas has realized that the magic theory and knowledge from other worlds and even the universe mastered by the God of Contract in front of him absolutely surpasses any mage in the entire Azeroth.
Compared with this, the guardians that the Tirisfal Council worked so hard to create are nothing.
Zuo Si was obviously very satisfied with the Archmage's reaction, and gave a straightforward order: "In that case, then go and report to Arthas, and take a good look at how the Lich King Ner'zhul used his forbearance and despicability to successfully escape from the prison.
, by the way, help me collect the specific movements of the Burning Legion's vanguard."
"As you wish."
Antonidas activated the teleportation magic very skillfully and disappeared in place, not caring at all about the phylactery that ensured his resurrection after death.
Zuo Si did not stay in this place full of huge arcane energy for too long. He took the phylactery and quickly chose to leave.
As Archimonde led a large number of demon lords and troops to successfully pass through the portal and descend on Azeroth, in principle, there is no force on the planet that can stop the Burning Legion's conquest head-on.
Whether it is Medivh, the last guardian, or Tyrande, Malfurion, Illidan, Cenarius, who participated in the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago, or those ancient gods who are still sealed by the Titans,
There was no way to fight back in front of this strongest eredar demon.
In fact, before the Shadow Realm broke the barrier with the real world and appeared in everyone's eyes, the Dark Titan Sargeras and the Burning Legion led by him were the most powerful force in the universe.
Even the two highest-ranking commanders Kil'jaeden and Archimonde are enough to defeat all forces, including the Old Gods.
The famous Holy Light Legion and the Mother of Holy Light, Zera, are nothing more than a stubborn little resistance organization in their eyes.
In the entire physical universe, wherever the Burning Legion arrives, it will inevitably be conquered or destroyed. No planet except Azeroth has ever been spared.
Even Argus, which gave birth to the Titans, has now become the base and accomplice of the Burning Legion.
In order to wipe out all resistance, the first thing Archimonde did after his arrival was to launch a fierce attack on the Alliance legions in Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest.
Thousands of natural disaster undead, coupled with powerful demons, began to attack the newly built fortifications like a tide.
Thanks to the Alliance, they had built a multi-layered elastic defense system to block this road, including almost everything from wooden forts to stone castles.
Especially after the arrival of Prince Kael'thas and the high elf mage who had a blood feud, they quickly made up for the lack of magical power.
