Chapter 1939: Based on Reality, Rushing Home to Work

However, Xia Duo was clearly overthinking it; of course, it was also possible that Iolum had believed from the very beginning that it was impossible for him to obtain the methods for using the Elven War Magic Artifacts.

Being able to have these suspected complete War Magic Artifacts was already a tremendous stroke of luck, so how could one ask for too much? With these artifacts in hand, researching the usage methods was merely a matter of time.

"By the way, did you come here just to deliver these War Magic Artifacts to me?"

"Huh? Of course not."

Xia Duo heard the urgent tone in Iolum's voice, wanting to send him away to study the War Magic Artifacts; he could completely understand, but he did indeed have other matters to attend to this time.

"I also wanted to ask Teacher about the latest developments in the Northland, and there is one more thing I feel it is necessary to give you a heads-up on in advance, Teacher."

Seeing that Xia Duo sounded serious, Iolum's mind, which had originally drifted off, immediately snapped back, and he asked, "What is it?"

"It concerns the Demon Descendants."

Xia Duo had only just begun to speak when he found he didn't know how to continue; he was not prepared to say too much about the Projection Plane, but even if he did, involving parallel timelines was still too absurd.

In reality, up to this point, he himself was still half-doubting this issue! How could he make Iolum believe it and persuade the Seven Towers to make the necessary preparations?

"What about the Demon Descendants?" Iolum was still quite interested in the Demon Descendants, especially regarding some recent events, which made him feel even more vigilant, so he couldn't help but press for details.

At this moment, Xia Duo was still hesitating over how to phrase it; in the end, he decided to temporarily avoid mentioning parallel timelines and instead claimed that the Demon Descendants were plotting some massive conspiracy.

After thinking for a moment, he took out the Holy Seal (in the shape of a light-textured feather) that the Divine Envoy Taide had previously given him. At this time, he could only borrow the name of the Divine Envoy from the Kingdom of Radiance, but everything he said was also the truth, just with a little more content than Taide's original words:

"Teacher, do you remember when I and Xierdalanna of Yierlan raided the Demon Descendant organization base not long ago? At that time, I summoned a combat Divine Envoy I met in the Kingdom of Radiance to coordinate the operation."

"I know, the Seven Towers also mentioned those Divine Envoys. Could it be that those Divine Envoys have made some additional discoveries?"

"It's not exactly an additional discovery, it's just that Puman wasn't present at the time, and I forgot to mention it later. The Divine Envoy said that the Demon Descendants have mastered Abyssal Power, and as long as they go to the Abyss, they can immediately become incomparably powerful demons."

Xia Duo recalled the demon that the Demon Descendant elf had transformed into within that base, and his heart felt even more deeply moved. "In reality, even without going to the Abyss, the demons they transform into on the Main Plane are also extremely powerful!"

"During this time, while I was organizing some of my previous experiences, I finally realized one thing: it is highly likely that the Demon Descendant elves have mastered the means to alter history!"

Following this, Xia Duo recounted the situation where Xierdalanna's cognition had been affected. He could not yet disclose the History Erasure Technique he had personally experienced because it involved a contract with the Moonshadow Family, but what Xierdalanna had encountered was already enough to serve as a reference.

But after Xia Duo finished speaking, Iolum revealed a strange look. "Why would you think that? Couldn't it be that the Demon Descendant elves have mastered some more advanced means of Clear Traces? Why must it be altering history?"

Iolum had indeed asked the key question, but Xia Duo could not answer it. Was he supposed to tell him the information obtained from "soul-searching" in the Projection Plane?

This was actually still a one-sided speculation, and even Xia Duo himself was not that confident in this speculation.

After thinking about it, Xia Duo demonstrated some details of the spell 【Xilin Saint Form Incarnation】 in front of Iolum.

Although he could not yet cast the complete spell, the details he displayed were enough to prove that he had sufficient understanding of Elven Magic, while also implying that this might be a judgment he and Xierdalanna had reached together.

In reality, he was using his own attainments in the field of Magic to endorse his personal viewpoint; there was actually no absolute causal relationship between the two.

But Netheril was, after all, a nation dominated by Spellcasters, and a Spellcaster's magical attainments were, to a large extent, a manifestation of their right to speak.

After watching Xia Duo's demonstration, Iolum thought seriously for a moment, and finally nodded. "I understand what you mean; I will remind the Seven Towers to pay attention."

Although in his view, things like altering history were still too bizarre, a reminder was better than no reminder, and being prepared was better than being unprepared.

Seeing Iolum agree, Xia Duo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, if he hadn't failed to find the specific casting details of the History Erasure Technique in the consciousness of that Elven Court Special Envoy in the Projection Plane, he could have demonstrated it on the spot, which would definitely have dropped Iolum's jaw.

And this was actually one of the reasons why he was half-doubting the invasion from the parallel timeline.

That Elven Court Special Envoy was already a High Mage, yet still had not mastered the History Erasure Technique, let alone a spell that could overwrite Reality with a parallel timeline. That guy only knew some conceptual descriptions, which were difficult to use as direct evidence for verification.

And what made Xia Duo choose to partially believe it was that if it weren't true, it would be very difficult to fabricate such a bizarre, yet vaguely self-consistent story of a parallel timeline invasion.

Coupled with some similar methods used by the Demon Descendant elves on the Main Plane, it further increased the weight of the truth of this matter.

If there was an opportunity, Xia Duo must capture a Demon Descendant High Mage on the Main Plane to see if there was also such a story of a parallel timeline invasion hidden in the other party's brain.

……

Next, Xia Duo and Iolum did not communicate much on this unproven topic. Iolum was in a hurry to study the War Magic Artifacts, and after briefing him on the latest developments in the Northland, he hurriedly ended the meeting.

Afterward, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time to conduct the final geographical data collection before the construction of the Mythallar.

Although it was a Distributed Node design, which did not have high requirements for environmental and geographical compatibility, if it could be compatible, it would undoubtedly be a bonus.

It was only at the beginning of the Mythallar construction that he would do this; later, as the interior of the Floating City was constantly adjusted, Xia Duo would not have the patience to perform real-time updates on the Mythallar.

Of course, if the mages of the Tower of Time possessed the ability to update the Mythallar, then there was no doubt that he would have to add to their burden.

……

Blue Crystal Plane, nameless waters.

A giant cyan sphere with a diameter exceeding 2 New Li by Daxia Standard Weights and Measures was floating quietly in the water, its bright Magic Aura rhythmically expanding and contracting, like a living, strange lifeform.

And at this moment, inside this strange lifeform known as a "Floating City," Xia Duo was using Flight to quickly shuttle between the various city districts.

At the same time, the Perception Field radiating from his main body was like a cone-shaped scanning beam; wherever it passed, every detail inside the Floating City was recorded within it.
