Chapter 3485 Mysterious Mage
————I am rushing~~
————
Soon, Xia Duo received the news about the discovery of a new time-related signal in Xiangshui Lake from the Alliance command network. He was not surprised by this.
Although he was constantly "collecting the power of time", it was obvious that the Illuminati's time power reserves were still sufficient. After two high-level mages repeatedly checked without results, they gave up the inspection and turned to fully promote the ritual process.
When the Alliance discovered it and sent people over, they couldn't even catch up with the remaining energy of the Illuminati. Of course, this was when Xia Duo did not take the initiative to intervene.
At first, he was worried about the Illuminati's crazy counterattack, and he was still collecting time power, so he didn't notify the Alliance in advance. In fact, it would be difficult to explain if he notified.
Prophecy is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to explain everything with prophecy. With the precedent of Belluno, Xia Duo didn't want to behave too abnormally.
After the Alliance mage left, Xia Duo still didn't leave, but stayed for a while until he couldn't collect any time power.
Although it was only one time, and the original ending had not been changed, he was still very pleased to collect the power of time that was ten times that of the time gem.
He had personally experienced the characteristics of the power of time transcending the timeline. He did not believe that Daphne could have unlimited reserves of the power of time. It could even be said that it was precisely because it was not infinite that Daphne chose to go all out in the end.
After realizing that the essence of the timeline war was the consumption of the power of time, Shaduo had immediately changed his original plan from changing the battlefield situation to collecting the power of time.
Of course, it does not mean that the battlefield situation is not important. The Illuminati has not yet grasped the idea of anchoring the past, but Daphne can also use the power of time to transcend the timeline. As long as she has more experience, she will understand that the key to anchoring the past lies in divine power.
Even if the other party cannot use the power of the Lord of Light, the power of the Elf Lord God is likely to be used by the other party. After all, the current members of the Illuminati have a legitimate identity in the elf world, and they have not all been exposed.
Since the power of the Lord of Light has been clearly able to anchor the past, it is impossible for Xia Duo to gamble that the power of the Elf Lord God cannot anchor the past.
So if possible, he will still try his best to change the results of the local battlefield, but the priority is slightly lower than collecting the power of time.
…
After leaving Xiangshui River, Xia Duo immediately went to the next key battlefield, which was still the source of the time-related signal that had been explored before, but this timeline has not yet occurred.
As he guessed, the Illuminati would not easily change the plan. Almost not long after he arrived at this place called "Red River Valley", a team of Illuminati mages appeared here with great fanfare.
Red River Valley, as the name suggests, is a valley terrain. The mountains are full of maple trees. The maple leaves falling into the river look like they dyed the river red, hence the name.
As soon as the team of Illuminati mages appeared, they cast spells without hesitation to explore, as if they hoped to eliminate all hidden dangers before the ceremony began, but Xia Duo's host world was obviously higher and did not reveal any traces.
Just when Xia Duo thought that he could collect the power of time smoothly like in Xiangshui River, a female elf with a face covered by starlight appeared in the valley. It was Daphne, the leader of the Illuminati!
Seeing Daphne coming, Xia Duo's heart sank. Although he did not think that Daphne could defeat him, he might have to face twists and turns if he wanted to comfort and collect the power of time.
It seems that the Illuminati or Daphne has noticed the abnormal consumption of the power of time in Xiangshui River, and he had used this method when he fought with Daphne in Tavimansa before.
Although he did not reveal his identity at that time, it was no secret that he went to Tavimansa at that time, not to mention that he had debated with Daphne about the philosophy of the Illuminati, which would also expose his true identity.
And whether it was exposed or not, Daphne could probably determine that the person who collected the power of time in Xiangshui River and the person who collected the power of time in Tavimansa should be the same person, and it was probably from the alliance.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo knew what he should do, and the answer was to do nothing.
His war with the Illuminati is far from over. He is not sure whether Daphne can take the known information to another timeline, but he can minimize the leakage of information.
So Xia Duo decisively chose to give up this battlefield, or even this timeline. He quickly left the Red River Valley and reshaped the timeline as soon as he returned to Yongle City.
But before casting the spell, Xia Duo thought of another question. What would happen if he took the things of this timeline to another timeline?
Normally, it is impossible to do it, because reshaping the timeline is almost equivalent to reversing time and going back to the past, but if you really want to do it, it is actually very simple, that is, to save things outside the main plane.
In fact, Xia Duo has already done this. Before, Niya took Chang'an City away from the main plane, which was equivalent to taking a lot of matter away from that timeline.
But because Niya left the main plane before the time node anchored by Xia Duo, that is to say, every time Xia Duo reshaped the timeline or went back to the past, Niya was not in the main plane.
But what if the act of taking away the matter is after the anchored time node?
Will it cause an alternative anchoring effect in the past, that is, if the matter is taken away at that moment, the timeline can only be reshaped from that moment at most.
Or it may have an impact on the time force consumed by the reshaping of the timeline.
If it is someone else, it may be difficult to do such a time. There are two main difficulties.
One is that at least the consciousness must be able to transcend the timeline and maintain the continuity of consciousness during the change of the timeline, otherwise the memory of the self will return to the starting point of the reshaping timeline, and naturally it will not remember what experiments were conducted later.
The other is relatively simple, at least it must have the ability to save the matter outside the main plane. If it is still saved in the main plane, then after the reshaping of the timeline, those materials must return to their original positions, and there is no need for experiments.
Although in theory, the reshaping of the timeline can be realized in a certain area, because everything affects each other, if you want to really change the past, you must start with the plane as the standard.
Otherwise, other creatures in the plane that are not affected by the reshaping of the timeline will easily discover abnormalities!
After thinking carefully for a long time, Xia Duo decided to proceed in two steps. First, he would verify the impact of taking away matter on the reshaping of the timeline, hoping to use this to gain greater advantage in the subsequent war with the Illuminati.
