Chapter 1936: Awakening, Another Possibility

Not knowing how much time had passed, Xia Duo awoke from his deep slumber. Opening his eyes, what appeared before him was not the white orb of light above the Projection Hall, but the pale yellow sheer canopy draped over the large bed in his bedroom.

Realizing something, Xia Duo hurriedly called out, "Niya!"

"Oh, you're awake!"

Xia Duo lifted his head and saw her trotting in from the living room outside, still holding a book she likely hadn't had time to put down.

"How long have I been asleep?" Xia Duo asked.

"Two whole days and two nights. Just how long did you stay in the Projection Plane this time?"

As she spoke, Niya had already sat down on the edge of Xia Duo's bed, helping him sit up and lean against the headboard, and asked with concern, "How do you feel? Do you want to rest a while longer?"

"I feel alright, just a bit of a throbbing in my head. Keep me company and talk for a bit, and I'll be fine soon."

"How long did you stay in the Projection Plane?"

Niya brought it up again. Xia Duo hesitated but did not hide it, "A little over a year!"

However, he omitted the fact that he had entered twice; this was the main reason for his two-day slumber. But as long as Niya didn't check the usage count of the Plane Exploration Array, she wouldn't find out, and not saying it now was to avoid making her overly worried.

"Are there any problems with the Territory these days? Any new news from Seventon?" Xia Duo asked again.

Upon hearing this, a hint of grievance appeared in Niya's eyes. She immediately turned her body away from Xia Duo and said in a muffled voice, "Is that all you mean by 'talk for a bit'? Why don't you ask how I've been these past two days?"

"Oh, sorry, I neglected your feelings."

As Xia Duo spoke, he reached out to grab Niya's hand and turned her body back around, "I've made you worry these past two days. I promise such a thing will absolutely not happen again next time."

In truth, if it were Niya who had suddenly fainted in the Tower of Time, he would also be worried and would have some lingering emotions afterward; this was only human nature.

He had just been a bit disoriented regarding his sense of time; on one hand, he felt he had been gone from the Main Plane for too long, and on the other, he felt very little time had passed since he entered the Projection Plane.

At the same time, he didn't have much of a sense that two days had already passed, so he subconsciously asked about the topic he was most interested in, thereby ignoring Niya's feelings.

However, one of Xia Duo's many virtues was his courage to admit mistakes; he rarely avoided problems. The result of him doing this was that Niya's anger quickly dissipated, and she began to introduce the interesting events of the Territory from the past two days to Xia Duo.

As for Seventon, it had only been a few days, so what new news could there be?

"By the way, what did you experience in the Projection Plane this time?"

Although Niya herself hadn't had very good experiences the few times she entered the Projection Plane—the most extreme instance being that she died as soon as she entered—she knew of a certain peculiarity about Xia Duo. Almost every time he entered the Projection Plane, he would incarnate as a Wisdom species. She didn't know what kind of strange life he had experienced this time!

Hearing Niya mention his experience in the Projection Plane, the first thing that came to Xia Duo's mind was not witnessing the independence of Evereska, but some information he captured from the consciousness of a Demon Descendant Elf when he entered that Projection Plane for the second time.

That information was too sensational, to the point where Xia Duo wasn't sure if he should tell Niya. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to talk about the independence process of Evereska first.

With his participation, the independence of Evereska in the Projection Plane went much more smoothly than in the Main Plane. He also really wanted to share this feeling of changing history with Niya.

Just as Xia Duo had felt after waking up, as he chatted with Niya, he felt his still-throbbing head ease up a lot.

Coupled with some snacks Niya had the Tower Spirit send over, Xia Duo felt more and more energetic. Finally, after finishing the talk about Evereska's independence, he decided to tell Niya about the situation regarding the Demon Descendants in advance, to avoid being caught ignorant if something really happened.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo chose to start from the surprise attack he had coordinated with Xierdalanna, continuing all the way to the possibility that the Demon Descendant organization had planned and executed the assassination of the Evereska Elder.

Under Niya's surprised gaze, Xia Duo unveiled the secret of the origin of the Demon Descendant Elves, which was what he had learned from interrogating Gulite in 【Projection Plane · Evereska Independent · Part 1】.

The Main Plane would likely not deviate too much.

Niya was greatly shocked after hearing this, "You mean the Demon Descendant Elves were actually victims of war at first, and have been persecuted throughout their subsequent history?"

"Yes, although I am also very dissatisfied with some of the Demon Descendants' viewpoints, this is very likely the truth, not just in the Projection Plane, but in the Main Plane as well."

"That really is a tragic story that makes one feel incomparably regretful!"

"It was originally a tragedy, but now it is gradually evolving into a catastrophe, only this time the protagonists have been replaced by the Demon Descendants."

After sighing at the mysterious nature of fate, Xia Duo finally got to the main point. He first asked Niya in a joking tone:

"If the Demon Descendant Elves had not been persecuted from the very beginning, but instead had received unanimous sympathy from the Elf World, what do you think would happen if it developed like that?"

"The Demon Descendants weren't persecuted? Another possibility of history?"

"Right, what do you think the Northland and even the Main Plane would look like from that historical perspective?"

"Let me think!"

Niya rested her chin on her right hand, while her left hand supported her right, and began to think seriously. Niya, in this serious mode, radiated an intellectual glow, making Xia Duo even more delighted.

Niya pondered, while he already had the answer in his heart, which gave him time to quietly admire Niya.

Before long, Niya finished thinking. She opened her eyes wide, looked at Xia Duo, and said, "If that possibility really existed, I think the Elves would be very united, becoming a single whole instead of being scattered into various countries as they are now."

"As for the fate of the Demon Descendants, I think they would have received good care and opportunities for development!"

After finishing, she looked at Xia Duo expectantly, as if wanting to hear Xia Duo's opinion.

But Xia Duo shook his head and continued to add new conditions to the thought experiment just now—the Demon Descendants' Magic Energy Magic System. He told Niya about the main characteristics and advantages of the Magic Energy Magic System, and then let Niya continue to ponder.

This time Niya didn't ponder for long, but quickly let out an exclamation, as if she were shocked by her own deduction result.

"The Elves would all become Demon Descendants?! How is that possible?!"

"It is indeed impossible for the Elves of the Main Plane, but one cannot say that the possibility of such a history does not exist!"

Next, Xia Duo, combining some of the content from analyzing the consciousness information of the Elf Court Special Envoy with his own imagination, told a story that he found very terrifying—

The Magic Energy Magic System, with its superior combat capability, forced all Elf Mages to join in, but the consequence of joining was becoming a Demon Descendant Elf!

In this story, the Demon Descendant Elves eventually unified the Elf World and even the entire Main Plane, but they discovered that the world they were in was not the Reality, but a certain possibility of the Reality.

And this possibility was about to be completely annihilated because the Reality had reached a certain critical Node.

No matter how brilliant or great the achievements they had made in the field of Magic, they would eventually return to the Void, and everything would become worthless and meaningless.

Thus, the doomsday carnival arrived. Almost all Demon Descendants fell into final despair and madness, and only a few powerful Spellcasters who were unwilling to return to the Void did not give up under these circumstances.

After paying countless prices, the birth of a Spell that spanned the Time Line reunited the already fragmented and near-destruction Demon Descendant society.
