Chapter 1937: Parallel Time Line Invasion

Before Xia Duo could finish, Niya exclaimed, "Are you saying that Demon Descendants all come from another world—no, I should say, from a different time line with a historical trajectory completely different from ours?"

"I never said that!"

Xia Duo shook his head; the information he parsed from the consciousness of the Elf Court Special Envoy in the Projection Plane was not that Demon Descendants came from a different time line, but rather that some outstanding Demon Descendant spellcasters had awakened memories of parallel worlds.

They had even obtained many advanced technologies because of this, such as universal extensions for the Magic Energy Magic System, the History Erasure Technique, and even more mysterious things like the solidification of historical nodes, reality history conversion, and so on.

Some of it sounded absolutely incredible.

And the true intention of those Demon Descendants was not to establish a Demon Descendant kingdom led by them where they could appear openly in the sunlight, but to use a means that could be called black technology to overwrite the history of the Main Plane with that of the parallel time line Demon Descendants.

To replace everything in the current time line with some possibility from history!

This was the real reason Xia Duo felt a chill down his spine and his hair stand on end; if it were just a group of Demon Descendants wanting to fight for equal rights to exist within the Elf World, even if it might affect the human world, so what?

Xia Duo had long since had the psychological expectation of competing with the entire Elf World, and was even looking forward to it; adding Demon Descendants was just one more contestant on the field.

But a parallel time line invasion is different; according to the information in that Elf Court Special Envoy's consciousness, the Demon Descendants of the parallel time line are extremely powerful and have even unified the entire Main Plane.

This is not a competitor of the same magnitude at all; calling it cheating is no exaggeration. If possible, it must be nipped in the bud as soon as possible.

Xia Duo told Niya about the secrets of the Demon Descendants he had learned and proposed another possibility: "In the Main Plane, perhaps there are also Demon Descendant spellcasters who have awakened memories of a parallel time line!"

Looking back now, the birth of the Magic Energy Magic System is actually quite problematic; Netherese Mages were able to create the Netheril Magic System (the Arcanist system or the Arcane Fire System) largely because they had the Nether Scroll as a reference.

But what do the Demon Descendant Elves have? Just a group of Commoners devastated by the aftereffects of war and not accepted by mainstream society?

Even if there are spellcasters, they are only a minority; with such a foundation, how can they talk about creating a Magic Energy Magic System?

Not to mention, when Xia Duo and Xierdalanna raided the Demon Descendant base earlier, the Divine Envoy Taide he summoned admitted that the Demon Descendant Mage in the base controlled Abyssal Power.

Although it is still weak in the Main Plane, once the opponent goes to the Abyss, they could almost immediately become a great demon that would be a huge headache for the Kingdom of Radiance.

A group of ordinary Elves contaminated by Demon Bloodline, having only developed for a few thousand years, yet they control Abyssal Power—thinking about it, it really is somewhat unrealistic!

There is also the 【Inspiration Light Potion】; although the Divine Envoy Taide said that this potion likely has some hidden dangers, in that situation at the time, he was unable to detect any Abyssal residue in it.

Is this kind of technology really something a group of ordinary Elves could master after only a few thousand years of secret development?

Not to mention that means of completely erasing traces—not just the traces of external disturbances, but even the memories of all relevant people can be erased together.

To a certain extent, this is already changing the self-perception of a sentient species!

If this sentient species were just an ordinary person, Xia Duo could actually do it now, but what if that sentient being were a high-level Mage?

Xia Duo finds it difficult even to interrogate a high-level Mage using mental spells, so how could he talk about directly changing the other party's self-perception?

And Xierdalanna is a victim of that means of completely erasing traces, and perhaps one of many.

Having experienced this Projection Plane, Xia Duo knows that such a means is very likely the History Erasure Technique known to the Elf Court Special Envoy whose consciousness he parsed in the Projection Plane.

Its essence is not to erase any traces, but to replace the reality of history with a part of the reality that might exist in another time line.

This is actually a simplified version of a parallel time line overwriting reality!

Precisely because he had seen a spell suspected to be the History Erasure Technique in the real Main Plane, Xia Duo was particularly wary of the parallel time line invasion; if it were just a dream in the Projection Plane, it would be nothing but empty air.

In fact, Xia Duo has basically determined that signs of a parallel time line invasion have already appeared in the Main Plane; although this may not be the final truth, there is nothing wrong with using it to refer to the abnormalities of the Demon Descendants for now.

Even if it were just the little abnormality revealed before his eyes, it would be enough to make the alarm bells ring in Xia Duo's heart.

Of course, he hopes more that this so-called parallel time line invasion is just a trick by some ambitious person, otherwise it would be too difficult.

Even if the reality of the Main Plane is not eventually overwritten by the parallel time line, the "advanced technologies" left behind by the parallel time line Demon Descendants will be a huge variable in the development of the magic civilization led by Xia Duo.

"Then what are you going to do now? Are you going to inform the Seven Towers about this situation?"

Deep worry appeared in Niya's eyes; she appeared more nervous than Xia Duo regarding the suddenly appearing crisis of a parallel time line invasion, but she was more worried that Xia Duo would bear unnecessary responsibility and pressure for it.

Xia Duo could feel Niya's worry about this matter and her concern for him; he gently squeezed the back of Niya's hand and said with a smile:

"Although the parallel time line invasion sounds a bit exaggerated, viewing it as a conspiracy by the Demon Descendants now actually shows the first signs; this is not my business alone, and it is even less possible for me to solve it alone, so don't worry!

"As for whether to inform the Seven Towers, let's decide after I discuss it with Iolum; it is easier for the teacher to come forward and gain the trust of the Seven Towers than for me. Regardless of whether it is a parallel time line invasion, this matter needs to be taken seriously by the Seven Towers, so as not to be caught off guard by changes in the future."

"You are going to Seventon again?"

"Yes."

In Niya's concept of time, Xia Duo had only just returned from Seventon not long ago, and he had clearly said when he returned before that he would not go out again for a short time; how long has it been now?

But in Xia Duo's concept of time, his last trip to Seventon was already a year ago; this parallel time line invasion crisis is unusual, so making the trip in person shows more caution.

Furthermore, even without this matter, he would go to Seventon as soon as possible to give the Elf War Magic Artifact he realized back from the Projection Plane to Iolum.

If this thing is left in his hands, he cannot spare more time to study it and can only treat it as a collectible, but if it is handed over to Iolum, it might have a positive effect on the research and development of war spells.

Right now, the Floating City Mythallar design has been completed in the Projection Plane, and the rest is the actual construction; at this stage, it is actually possible to bring the Floating City to the Main Plane.

But if it is equipped with war spells, it is directly a strategic weapon of mass destruction.

Combining the current situation in the Northland, Xia Duo feels that this matter cannot wait for a moment; he must head to Seventon as soon as possible.
