Chapter 1861: The New World Project

Xia Duo carefully recalled the Elf historical materials he had seen in the 【Projection Plane: Cormanthor Birth】. Although there were not many, now that he was deliberately searching for them, he truly found quite a few suspicious points.

Linking them to the Demon Descendant Elves was not the least bit incongruous; it all explained everything!

There is a proverb on Earth that goes—"If something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is very likely a duck!"

Applied to Xia Duo's situation, this meant—if those suspicious points could all be explained by Demon Descendant Elves, then the truth was very likely just that!

Of course, these were still just Xia Duo's guesses; as for what the truth of history really was, I fear only the original actual participants would know.

However, specifically regarding the present, Xia Duo could be considered to have participated in a major historical stage that belonged to the past relative to the Main Plane.

He felt that the more deeply he understood, the more he would discover the layers of obstacles within the Elf race, which were far from as simple as they appeared on the surface.

Before seeing Demon Descendant Elves in the Main Plane, Xia Duo could never have imagined that there was such a past within the Elves. Even if these were just some events from the memories of Gulite in the Projection Plane, they were full of ups and downs and Legendary colors.

Of course, for the current Xia Duo, no matter how many secrets the Elves or Demon Descendants had, it did not have much to do with him; he now only wanted Evereska to begin the Mythallar construction as soon as possible.

To officially start the Mythallar construction project, one must first complete negotiations with the Northland nations, and to complete the negotiations, unless Evereska made major concessions, one could only leverage the attitudes of various countries from elsewhere.

The best opportunity right now was to use the assassination attempt by the Demon Descendants against the Crown King of Wuweilun to make Wuweilun concede, thereby breaking the deadlock in the negotiations.

But the problem was, only Xia Duo himself had confirmed the existence of the Demon Descendants now; Ougesi and the Eye of Fear were likely unaware, so how could he leak the news without leaving a trace?

"This is really quite a headache!"

……

After finishing the history-related books, Xia Duo turned to other categories, but at this moment his mind was not on the books; instead, his head was full of thoughts on how to point out the fact that Gulite was a Demon Descendant.

Until he finished flipping through the entire library, he could not think of any good ideas. If this kind of thing were done poorly, he would surely bring trouble upon himself.

After pondering for a long time, Xia Duo simply stopped going to the Silver Star Layer, left the Cloudtop Tower directly, and returned to Athos Manor.

He prepared to first piece together Gulite's consciousness completely, then see if he could find a key flaw in the other party's memories that would not arouse suspicion.

Even if there were none, the memory of a Demon Descendant Elf Mage was worth him doing this.

……

In the Study, Xia Duo defeated Gulite's consciousness Projection over and over again, and "Chong Zhi Shi Jian" over and over again; the Subconscious Information analysis work was proceeding very smoothly.

And as his understanding of Gulite's memories increased, the analysis speed was also getting faster and faster.

Until one time when he defeated Gulite's memory again, Xia Duo did not immediately analyze the information in the consciousness fragments, but had a sudden inspiration and immediately performed Chong Zhi Shi Jian to enter the environment of the Consciousness Cage.

Just like saving and loading a game, Xia Duo followed the process he had explored before and quickly entered the stage of cooperating with Gulite, and at this moment, he suddenly asked the other party:

"If I want to expose your identity as a Demon Descendant without arousing suspicion, what do you think I should do?"

"What does Your Excellency mean by this?"

Even though the Gulite in this copy had already exposed his identity before Xia Duo and was willing to cooperate under Xia Duo's "persuasion," hearing such a question suddenly still made his anger rise, feeling as if he were being toyed with.

"I mean nothing else. The Duli have already made a major breakthrough in bloodline reproduction. Your plan is too risky, and this will pose a major threat to the entire Demon Descendant group. What do you think I mean?"

As soon as Xia Duo said this, Gulite's eyes widened immediately, "Who exactly are you? Could you really be Ougesi?"

"Who I am is not important; the key is your choice!"

"My choice?" Gulite seemed to have thought of something and looked at Xia Duo in disbelief, "You want me to sell out the Radical Faction? No, this is impossible. Even if I really did that, couldn't the Radical Faction continue to betray the Duli and the Rongru?"

"Why is it impossible? In fact, the fact that I can come here already proves this point. As long as Demon Descendants exist for one day, the Elves will never let us go. Now, the people of insight in the Radical Faction are willing to sacrifice themselves to bury the existence of Demon Descendants in history completely. From now on, there will only be the Long-lived Family among the Elves, and no Demon Descendants."

"How is this possible? I don't believe it!"

Gulite's eyes were full of suspicion. As a member of the Demon Descendant Duli, he knew the thoughts of those in the Radical Faction too well. Even if there were so-called people of insight, could they really control the thoughts of all the Radical Faction?

If they could do this, the Radical Faction would not be in its current state of being a scattered mess and achieving nothing.

Xia Duo could fully understand Gulite's suspicion, but at the same time, as the person in this world who understood Gulite best, he knew that such a thought was hidden deep in Gulite's heart—

Successfully solve the bloodline reproduction problem, then abandon the Demon Descendant identity and completely integrate into the Elves.

Xia Duo had just slightly perfected and exaggerated a certain future of Gulite's Illusion, "The Radical Faction who are unwilling to sacrifice will naturally be helped to sacrifice by those people of insight."

As long as the Radical Faction was solved, there was actually not a single obstacle in terms of ideology for Demon Descendants to integrate into the Elves. After all, these Demon Descendants were just Elves before, and some Demon Descendant Elves were even ordinary Elves before their Demon Descendant bloodline awakened.

And the real practical obstacle preventing them from integrating was actually not the investigation and slaughter by the Elves, but the bloodline problem.

The bloodline problem included two points: one was that only by controlling the bloodline could one perfectly disguise oneself, and the other was the reproduction problem. If Demon Descendants could not reproduce among themselves, then even if they integrated into the Elves, the Demon Descendants would completely die out after many years.

Yet the advantages brought by the Demon Descendant bloodline were something many Demon Descendant Elves did not want to give up, which brought about more ideological conflicts.

If the bloodline problem could be perfectly solved, it was indeed possible for a group of "people of insight" to appear to help a minority of radicals sacrifice, thereby making the term Demon Descendant disappear completely.

As a normal descendant produced by parents who were both Demon Descendants, to a certain extent, it was hard for him not to develop a mentality similar to a savior of the Demon Descendants.

Xia Duo was also following the other party's psychology at this moment; even if he said that the Rongru had solved the bloodline problem, Gulite would be more inclined to believe it.

This was somewhat similar to telecommunications fraud on Earth: a scammer calls to say someone has won a prize, and even if that person did not buy a lottery ticket, they would inevitably develop the Illusion that the other party might have made a mistake and they could still get the money.
