Chapter 2042: Changing the Celestial Phenomena

~8 min read 1,448 words

Just as Xia Duo found a moment to prepare to ask Taide about the further examination results of the Inspiration Light Potion, Taide actually initiated a summoning without even waiting.

Different from the Taide Holy Seal Xia Duo had used to summon before, Taide summoning subordinates himself was much simpler; first, a ripple of Holy Light like water waves lit up within the Gemstone passage, and then the Holy Light expanded, transforming into two tangible bodies—

One was Kamier, who had just said he was going to call for reinforcements, and the other was a stranger Divine Envoy dressed in a Mage Robe, holding a Scepter, and styled as a Priest.

Perhaps because their areas of responsibility were different, after this stranger Divine Envoy arrived at this Gemstone passage thick with Abyssal Aura, he did not violently attack like Taide had before, but instead immediately saw Taide standing to the side, as well as Xia Duo.

"Taide, long time no see!"

"Pasetiya, I need your help!"

……

While Taide and the newly arrived Divine Envoy Pasetiya were talking, Xia Duo also roughly figured out why Taide had just ordered his subordinates to call for people and then immediately performed a summoning.

The flow of time in the Outer Planes and the Main Plane is not consistent, or rather, there is a huge difference; Xia Duo himself had experienced the "vicissitudes of life" on the Boundless Wilderness of the Outer Planes.

Only the Daxia Homeland, which was connected later through his soul space, maintained a time flow consistent with the Main Plane; other places might each have their own temporal characteristics.

Although it might not necessarily have the "a glance is ten thousand years" effect of the Projection Plane, it certainly was not the lack of time interval that Xia Duo had initially thought.

……

Soon, Taide and Pasetiya explained the current situation, and the protagonist of the event—the Shenyuan Zhidi—was right there; after Pasetiya checked it with a grave expression, he said words similar to Taide's:

"I need to summon my subordinates over, and you, Taide, also need to cooperate with us in condensing Holy Power while we purify; additionally, I will report this matter to Lord Kafa."

After speaking, Pasetiya summoned his subordinates while looking at Xia Duo, "Mortal, I also need your help."

"Divine Envoy Pasetiya, please give your orders."

"There are mainly two things: one is that the terrain here is narrow and inconvenient for movement, and I need you to provide a space of about ten yue near the Shenyuan Zhidi; the second is to guard the surroundings while we cast spells to prevent interference from the Demon Descendant."

"No problem."

Xia Duo agreed readily; while Pasetiya and his subordinates discussed the details of the purification spell, he summoned the Floating City to shave off about five meters of the Sea Cliff above the Mo Yi Midian, making it into an "empty box" shape that was concave downward and open on the side facing the sea, with a bottom area four or five times larger than the ten yue Pasetiya had requested.

As for the issue of guarding while the Divine Envoy purified the Shenyuan Zhidi, with the Floating City there, this was not a problem at all; as long as the Demon Descendant dared to come, he dared to catch them, and not a single one would escape.

Perhaps he could even drag these Divine Envoys along to investigate the Demon Descendant together!

……

After everything was ready, Xia Duo came to the edge of the "empty box" above the Midian to witness the purification ceremony of the Divine Envoys inside the "box" together with the various countries of the Northland.

First, the Priest-like Divine Envoy under Pasetiya carved complex Fuwu filled with a sacred aura onto the flat Gemstone ground that had been "burned" out by the War Spell 【Annihilation Light】 at the ritual site, with the Holy Seal of the Lord of Radiance in the very center.

Xia Duo tried to interpret and even memorize them, but ultimately failed; it was perfectly normal that the self-contained system of Fuwu could not be fully interpreted in a short time, but being unable to memorize them was quite mysterious.

However, Xia Duo did not pay much attention to it; they were things of the gods, so it was completely understandable that there were some special aspects; as long as he persisted on his current path, he might not be unable to sit on equal footing with the Lord of Radiance in the future.

It was just that after the site was set up, the Divine Envoys did not start the purification ceremony, and the representatives of various countries could not help but be a little restless, sending Bulunde to ask:

"Lord Xia Duo, why aren't those Divine Envoys moving?"

Xia Duo looked at the Elves looking over from not far away, then looked up at the sky, and said to Bulunde: "Perhaps they are waiting for noon! Be patient!"

When Xia Duo said this, Bulunde immediately understood; when the Sewendun Dashendian performed various ceremonies, they would also choose noon if they wanted to enhance the effect.

However, although Bulunde got the answer, he did not return to his previous position but stayed by Xia Duo's side; here, not only could he be closer to the Divine Envoys' ritual site, but most importantly, he could stay away from that group of annoying Elves.

Xia Duo did not mind Bulunde's presence; although he looked calm while waiting for the Divine Envoys to cast spells, he was actually quite nervous, almost constantly maintaining contact with the Floating City to update the first-hand information obtained by 【Wide-Area Detection】.

Although the probability of the Demon Descendant appearing was very small, and he also had the confidence to suppress a sneak attack by the Demon Descendant, Xia Duo was particularly wary of the Illuminati from a parallel time line; who knew what trump cards the other side had!

A Demon Descendant civilization that could unify the Main Plane on another Time Line—even if only one had successfully traveled over—would bring great psychological pressure to Xia Duo.

This is like modern special forces from Earth fully armed traveling back to ancient times; whether in thought or power, they could crush the contemporary era, and as long as they didn't court death, it wouldn't be surprising what kind of achievements they could eventually attain.

The current Demon Descendant is about the same; parallel time line, unifying the Main Plane—these words connected together gave Xia Duo too much room for imagination.

Fortunately, the Time Line is not so easy to cross, and the Demon Descendant must have paid a great price to send over an Illuminati, otherwise Xia Duo felt he could already consider joining the Magic Energy Magic System.

……

As the sun gradually reached the middle of the sky, although it was not directly overhead, it could be considered the most intense moment of this late autumn season.

But Pasetiya seemed to feel it was not enough; the first ceremony they performed was not the purification of the Shenyuan Zhidi below, but the summoning of the noon hour of midsummer.

When seeing the sun above his head shifting bit by bit from south to north, Xia Duo's heart was extremely shocked; even though he had already overestimated these Divine Envoys, seeing this scene of changing the celestial phenomena still felt too incredible.

So, he contacted Niya to ask about the situation of the sun in the Daxia Territory, and Niya's reply quickly reached Xia Duo, her tone revealing panic and disbelief—

"The sun is moving north!"

That place could actually see the strange phenomenon of the sun shifting too!

From the Daxia Territory to the Longya Haiya where Xia Duo was at this moment, it could be considered crossing more than half of the Northland; Xia Duo had originally thought it was just a small strange phenomenon that could be seen near the ceremony, but he didn't expect the scope of influence to be so large!

"Hiss—"

Xia Duo heard the sound of gasping, and when he turned his head, he saw the shock that had not yet dissipated on Bulunde's face, and couldn't help but ask: "Can it be seen in Seventon too?"

"Yes! Lord Huo En just asked if there was trouble with the purification of the Shenyuan Zhidi here."

"It shouldn't count as any trouble!"

Feeling the surrounding air seem to be getting hotter bit by bit, the sun above his head seemed to have really shifted from the south to directly above the Northland!

Xia Duo found it hard to have any further evaluation of this.
