Chapter 2334: Child of Miracles
————I had enough time today, and I had already written over 500 words for this chapter, but something came up at the last minute. I'll make up for it tomorrow~

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 highly individual characteristics. Afterward, Demon Descendants were constantly 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 was the more primary reason, was the diversity of Demon Bloodlines, which caused the Abyssal Aura that the vast majority of Demon Descendants could most easily obtain to also be different.
Before one could control their bloodline, one certainly had to control the bloodline first, so the Magic Energy that could be created could only take their own bloodline as its characteristic. It might only be possible to change the Magic Energy attribute later on, and this was actually 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 any Projection Plane either; only those Demon Descendants from other Time Lines might have had 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 learned indirectly from the Demon Descendant consciousnesses he had contacted and captured.
There was no mention of the concept of universal Magic Energy among them. 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 was no such thing as universal Magic Energy at all.
But Xia Duo speculated himself that if there really were Demon Descendant civilizations in other Time Lines, there would most 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 a universal Magic Energy that only stayed on paper for the convenience of calculation and could not actually be used, 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 Abyssal Aura brought about by the 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; he didn't know about other bloodlines, but when a Demon Bloodline was in a riot, the Abyssal Aura it emitted was also changing at any moment, and there was no pattern to speak of.
Although he had little research on bloodlines, those basic understandings allowed him to understand that this was actually the bloodline itself undergoing violent changes.
It was too chaotic, too disordered!
Generally, even if a bloodline was in a riot, it would be within the scope of that bloodline, becoming stronger or weaker, and then gradually calming down. But the riot of a Demon Bloodline could even keep changing the patterns of the bloodline itself.
It was as if it were a mouse one moment and could turn into a cat the next; it was truly too inconceivable. No wonder they said demons were the embodiment of chaos!
And this also made Xia Duo think of an unpleasant possibility—could it be that once a Demon Bloodline went into a riot, it would just keep rioting forever?
Thinking about it carefully, it really was possible!
Unless one was extremely lucky and it suddenly calmed down. After all, as long as the time was long enough, even a monkey could type out Shakespeare! This was just a matter of probability.
Or perhaps there was a secret technique to stably calm a rioting Demon Bloodline.
And he didn't have a secret technique now, 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 prerequisite step of creating Magic Energy be understood as a method of gradually understanding and even controlling the bloodline?
Sorting out the Abyssal Aura might be a way to calm the 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; it hurt just as much as it should.
Moreover, the cold current applied by that aged voice within his body was already getting 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 overlapped his Personal Space completely with the space where the avatar was located. At the same time, he used the Personal Space as a reference to constantly 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. 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, he would undoubtedly continue his exploration of this Projection Plane. And if he were unlucky and turned into an Aberrant, 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 sorts of experiments on the Abyssal Aura possessed by the avatar. Being a Demon Descendant avatar was a very rare experience; regardless of whether he could successfully stabilize the bloodline this time, he couldn't return empty-handed!
Perhaps it was precisely because of this calmed state of mind that Xia Duo made rapid progress in sorting out the Abyssal Aura. Of course, it was also possible that the survival instinct of this body itself was providing assistance.
After 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 slightly lighter than at the beginning.
Not only that, even the speed at which the Illusion of flames and smoke filling his field of vision changed seemed to have slowed down!
"It's effective! Sorting out the Abyssal Aura is indeed effective!"
Although the Abyssal Aura was brought about by the Demon Bloodline, and it was a relationship of attachment and being attached, sorting out the Abyssal Aura seemed to be able to react back upon the changes in the bloodline.
Only then did Xia Duo have the time to observe the appearance of the Demon Descendant he was currently inhabiting 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 wings, and various other Elf and Demon features would grow from time to time.

It was not limited to just two ears or two wings; there might be ten ears, five eyes, three horns, or various extremely strange external structures spliced together appearing at the same time.
But more often, they were some flesh tissues whose origins could not be distinguished at all. They seemed to have a certain stable structure, but they were 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 show some variation!
