Chapter 2333: Bloodline Riot
Xia Duo speculated that the reason the Magic Energy Magic System developed this way was, on one hand, because this magic system was originally researched and summarized by Demon Descendants starting from their own bodies, possessing extreme personal characteristics; later, Demon Descendants were also consistently in a state of being suppressed, persecuted, and even driven to extinction by mainstream Elf society, making it difficult to form stable organizations, so naturally, there was no need to consider universality.
On the other hand, which Xia Duo believed to be the more primary reason, was the diversity of the Demon Bloodline, which caused the Abyssal Aura most easily obtained by the vast majority of Demon Descendants to also be different.
Before being able to control the bloodline, one must certainly first control the bloodline, so the Magic Energy that could be created could only first take one's own bloodline as its characteristic; only later might one change the Magic Energy attribute, and this was actually also a necessary choice for maintaining a combat advantage over others.
Multiple reasons caused the Magic Energy attributes of Demon Descendant Mages to be difficult to unify.
Of course, if one day Demon Descendants could be accepted by mainstream society and form a unified organization of a certain scale, at that time, they might artificially select a certain attribute of Magic Energy as a universal Magic Energy, thereby facilitating communication, learning, and research within the organization.
But this scene had no hope of being seen in the Main Plane for the time being, and Xia Duo had never seen it in a Projection Plane either; only those Demon Descendants from other Time Lines might perhaps have such experiences.
It was just that Xia Duo had never captured the consciousness of a Demon Descendant who truly came from another Time Line; his understanding of the so-called Demon Descendant civilization of Ailan in other Time Lines was limited to what he had indirectly learned from the Demon Descendant consciousnesses he had contacted and captured.
Among them, there was no mention of the concept of universal Magic Energy; perhaps those Demon Descendants from other Time Lines regarded universal Magic Energy as public Knowledge that everyone understood and neglected to describe it to the Demon Descendants of this Time Line, or perhaps there simply was no such thing as universal Magic Energy.
But Xia Duo speculated himself that if there really were Demon Descendant civilizations in other Time Lines, there would likely be a universal Magic Energy; after all, in his view, standardization should be an inevitable product of civilization developing to a certain degree.
Even if it were just a universal Magic Energy that remained on paper for the convenience of calculation and could not actually be used at all, there must still be one.
……
While reviewing the Magic Energy Knowledge he had learned in the Main Plane and other Projection Planes, Xia Duo attempted to sort out the Demon Aura brought about by his avatar's bloodline.
He didn't know until he tried, but this first step of creating Magic Energy was stuck; he had done little research in the Bloodline Domain, and while he did not know about other bloodlines, when the Demon Bloodline was in a Bloodline Riot, the Demon Aura it emitted was also changing at any moment, and there was not the slightest regularity to speak of.
Although he had little research on bloodlines, those basic understandings also allowed him to understand that this was actually the bloodline itself undergoing violent changes.
Too chaotic, too disordered!
Generally, even if a bloodline is in a riot, it is within the scope of that bloodline, either strong or weak, and then gradually calms down; but the riot of a Demon Bloodline can even keep changing its patterns.
It is just like being a mouse one moment and being able to turn into a cat the next; it is truly too inconceivable. No wonder it is said that demons are the embodiment of chaos!
And this also made Xia Duo think of an unpleasant possibility—could it be that once a Demon Bloodline riots, it will keep rioting forever?
Thinking about it carefully, it really is possible!
Unless one is extremely lucky and it suddenly calms down; after all, as long as the time is long enough, a monkey can also type out Shakespeare! This is just a matter of probability.
Or perhaps there is a related secret technique to be able to stably calm a rioting Demon Bloodline.
And he currently has no secret technique, so what should he do—"No, I might already possess a secret technique without knowing it!"
Xia Duo immediately thought of "creating Magic Energy to control the bloodline"; could the pre-step of creating Magic Energy be understood as a method of gradually understanding or even controlling the bloodline?
Sorting out the Demon Aura might just be a method to calm a Bloodline Riot, only the effect might not be very obvious.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately erupted with an extremely strong will to survive; for a moment, he even felt that all the pain in his body was not so unbearable—of course, this was an Illusion, and it hurt just as much as it should.
Moreover, the cold current applied by that aged voice within his body had already become weaker and weaker, which made the current situation increasingly unfavorable for Xia Duo.
"Should I take a gamble?"
No, I still have a way! Xia Duo immediately completely overlapped his Personal Space with the space where his avatar was located; at the same time, he also used the Personal Space as a reference to continuously withdraw his true consciousness, making it unaffected by the avatar's illusory Perception.
This bought him enough time; of course, if he did this, there would be no need to gamble, and he could keep trying until the bloodline completely rioted and transformed the Demon Descendant that his avatar was into an irreversible Aberrant.
Before that, if he could successfully calm the Bloodline Riot, then undoubtedly he would continue his exploration in this Projection Plane, and if he were unlucky and turned into an Aberrant, then he would just take the opportunity to return to the Main Plane and start the next projection.
……
The abundance of time gave Xia Duo enough confidence to conduct all kinds of attempts on the Demon Aura possessed by his avatar; being an avatar Demon Descendant was a very rare experience, and regardless of whether he could successfully stabilize the bloodline this time, he could not return empty-handed!
Perhaps it was precisely because of this calmed-down state of mind that Xia Duo made rapid progress in sorting out the Demon Aura; of course, it was also possible that the survival instinct of this body itself was adding assistance.
When the cold current that suppressed pain and boosted his spirit completely disappeared, the true consciousness that Xia Duo had withdrawn with the help of his Personal Space soon felt that the pain perceived by his illusory consciousness seemed to have become lighter than at the beginning.
Not only that, even the changing speed of the fire and smoke Illusions that filled his visual Perception seemed to have slowed down!
"Effective! Sorting out the Demon Aura is indeed effective!"
Although the Demon Aura is brought about by the Demon Bloodline, and it is a relationship of attachment and being attached, sorting out the Demon Aura seems to be able to have a counter-effect on the changes in the bloodline.
Only at this time did Xia Duo have the leisure to observe the appearance of this avatar Demon Descendant with the help of the Personal Space that was completely overlapped with the Projection Plane—
It was basically impossible to see the form of an Elf anymore; it was entirely a constantly surging dark red mass of flesh, on the surface of which one or two Elf ears, or Demon flesh wings, and other various Elf and Demon characteristics would grow from time to time.
It was not limited to having only two ears or two flesh wings; there might appear ten ears, five eyes, three horns, or various extremely strange external structures spliced together at the same time.
But more often, it was some flesh and blood tissue whose origin could not be distinguished at all; it seemed to have a certain stable structure, but it was soon "swallowed" by the mass of flesh and turned into the power for the bloodline to continue its riot.
For the time being, the trend of bloodline stabilization that Xia Duo perceived through his true consciousness was not obviously manifested on the avatar's body.
However, he believed that as the sorting continued, the changes in the bloodline would definitely change!
