Chapter 2336: Hardships and Trials, Planning to Found a Nation

"Therefore, I speculate that the essence of the Demon Bloodline is very likely the Demon Aura itself. As long as one can control their own Demon Aura, perhaps they can manage this bloodline well."

Such an explanation might not count as a reasonable one for a Demon Descendant Elder who may have lived from two thousand years ago to the present.

After all, in the long time from then until now, they must have tried various methods to control the bloodline, and they certainly must have tried the Demon Aura, yet there were simply no results.

A race's two thousand years of research being surpassed by an ordinary young Demon Descendant in just a few decades is hard to accept anywhere.

But when Xia Duo spoke the specific spell details for combing through the Demon Aura, the Elders no longer dwelled on this. After all, the facts were before them, and Maruen was someone they had watched grow up; even if it was hard to accept, they had to force themselves to accept it.

Once the spell was in hand, several Elders could not help but try it on the spot. This was not Magic Energy Magic, but a traditional Elf Magic.

Xia Duo was also unsure whether this was developed by Demon Descendants in later generations or brought over by Demon Descendant invaders from a different Time Line, but it worked, so that was enough. At least he had tried it himself and the effect was good.

However, this method of combing through the Demon Aura to calm a Bloodline Riot could not be used by just any Demon Descendant. If one's consciousness was already so affected by the pain and Illusion during a Bloodline Riot that they could not cast spells, then they certainly could not use this method.

But if this method could only be used during a Bloodline Riot, it would not deserve to be the prerequisite foundation spell for the Magic Energy Magic System. This advantage was quickly discovered by the several Elders who were eager to try—

"This spell is also useful for us! I feel the next Bloodline Riot has been postponed!" Elder Kashmont asked the other Elders beside him in surprise, his scarlet eyes almost radiating tangible light.

"I discovered it too. This spell should not only be used while a Bloodline Riot is in progress, but can even be used in advance. If it is used frequently to comb through the Demon Aura, I suspect it might completely eliminate Bloodline Riots!"

The several Elders spoke one after another, quickly discussing the Principles and significant meaning of this spell.

One must know that as Demon Descendants, as long as there is still Demon Aura on their bodies, the risk of a Bloodline Riot always exists; it does not change based on the strength of their power.

A powerful Spellcaster might be able to suppress or even control it to a certain degree before or during the early stages of a Bloodline Riot, but wanting to completely block it was entirely unrealistic at that time.

Xia Duo even knew that even if one truly mastered the Demon Bloodline, they would still experience Bloodline Riots, but at that time, the Bloodline Riot would be controllable, which is also a necessary step for changing Magic Energy attributes.

Every one of the several Elders had experienced more than one Bloodline Riot, or rather, only by surviving multiple Bloodline Riots could one possibly live long enough to become an Elder.

This is also the main reason why the number of Demon Descendants has always struggled to rise.

Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why mainstream Elf society ultimately did not choose to directly clear out the Demon Descendants; perhaps they thought that Demon Descendants die easily, and after a few thousand years, they might naturally go extinct.

But now, with the spell provided by Maruen, the several Elders immediately thought of the survival issue of the Demon Descendant race; from now on, there would no longer be so many children dying innocently.

As long as they find a relatively stable place to live, their race can multiply steadily.

"I wonder if using it on pregnant women would increase the survival probability of the infants? If it can, then our race will truly be worry-free!"

The several Elders cast expectant gazes at the Maruen before them, but Xia Duo, who was currently incarnated as Maruen, shook his head, "I don't know. I only experimented on myself; other clansmen might not be so smooth."

Xia Duo spoke rather tactfully; in reality, this spell cannot take effect on pregnant women, at least not on the children inside the wombs of Demon Descendant pregnant women.

Or rather, what is inside the womb of a Demon Descendant pregnant woman is not a child at all, but an uncertain mass of flesh. In essence, that is the first Bloodline Riot that every naturally born Demon Descendant experiences in their life.

Demon Descendants are born during that first Bloodline Riot; forced intervention might only make it worse.

The time point where 【Projection Plane · Evereska Independent】 is located should be several thousand years after this Projection Plane. Although the Demon Descendants at that time possessed the Magic Energy Magic System and solved most of the Bloodline Riot problems, they still had to gamble on probability regarding reproduction.

Xia Duo had not studied the specific reasons, and the Demon Descendants he interrogated had never delved into this issue. It is estimated that even long after the Magic Energy Magic System was formed, this problem remained unsolved, and it became a consensus.

But what is certain is that there should still be many Demon Descendants studying this problem; it is just unknown what the results are. Perhaps only the Demon Descendant invaders from a different Time Line have the answer.

……

"I must immediately inform all our clansmen of this news!" Suoermante said excitedly.

And his words were quickly agreed upon by the other two Elders. They also said, "We must tell all our clansmen; they have waited too long for this news!"

"No, you can't! You cannot tell them!"

At this moment, Elder Kashmont, who was just as excited as the other Elders, raised an objection, "At least we cannot reveal this news before finding a stable settlement."

"Why?" one Elder asked unwillingly.

But he did not wait for Kashmont's answer; having already calmed down, he had actually made the same judgment as Kashmont.

The Demon Descendant bloodline was already judged as unclean by mainstream society. They had only temporarily gained safety now, but they were still in the process of fleeing.

And among the Demon Descendants, there are still many individuals who are very resistant to their Demon Descendant identity; they yearn to turn back into Elves and return to mainstream society.

Under such circumstances, rashly revealing a spell that is of such strategic significance to Demon Descendants would likely trigger some unnecessary trouble.

If it were only internal ideological division, that would be one thing, but if it reached the Elves and drew the vigilance of mainstream society, that would be the true end for the nascent and weak Demon Descendant race.

After a silence, an Elder suddenly proposed:

"Now that we have this spell to comb through the Demon Aura, is the previous plan somewhat inappropriate? Especially, shouldn't the most important settlement be changed?"

"Yes, I was just about to say this problem. The previous concealment plan can perhaps be abandoned. With this spell, perhaps we can also consider founding a nation!"

Once these words were spoken, the cave fell into silence again. If they want to truly stand and live on this land, establishing a nation that belongs only to Demon Descendants might be a very good method, but the problem is—

"Will those Elves allow us to found a nation?"
