Chapter 2361: Heaven-Made Mythallar

After clarifying the predatory nature of traditional Elf society, Xia Duo's days became much easier; there was no need for him to actively urge anyone, as the Elders completely presented an impatient appearance.

In fact, if he hadn't suppressed their fire a little, those Elders who saw hope might have done something radical!

Nowadays, the population situation is excellent; starting from the birth of the first newborn, a continuous stream of newborns and newly pregnant women has emerged.

The only regret is that currently, only Pure-blood Elves are pregnant; before solving the natural reproduction issues brought about by their bloodlines, not a single Demon Descendant Elf dares to actively conceive.

And when Xia Duo suggested to Elder Ma'aoshi that if the population continued to grow at this rate, Demon Descendants would soon become a tiny minority, if it were before, Ma'aoshi might have expressed the same concern.

But now, Ma'aoshi has shed the original Narrow Sea racial perspective and instead places his focus more on the class level; not to mention that Demon Descendants are essentially Elves, even if they weren't, they are still the bottom-tier Commoners who are exploited and plundered just like the Elves.

Xia Duo was surprised by how quickly Ma'aoshi had changed, and felt even more delighted by this old man's Wisdom and decisiveness.

……

Soon, another year passed. Too many things happened this year. On the eve of the final Mythallar construction—which was also the opportunity to travel to the future—Xia Duo actually felt a deep reluctance toward this era where everyone was of one mind.

But he knew his roots were in the Main Plane; the Projection Plane could not last forever. He repeatedly reminded himself that he had entered the Projection Plane only to explore and harvest, and there was no need to consider anything else.

At night, Xia Duo lay on the roof, the stars and moon twinkling in the sky, and his heart was as restless as the stars and moon. While sorting through his memories in the depths of his consciousness, he clearly realized that this world had influenced him.

And he had also developed feelings for this world and this group of Elves that were different from "NPCs." Two or three years was not a very long time compared to Xia Duo's past, and perhaps after experiencing more in the future, he would be able to treat it with indifference.

But now, he did not want to view all of this entirely from the perspective of a bystander. After he made this decision, his constantly backed-up Personality also incorporated this moment's thoughts into his self-scope.

Of course, this did not mean he identified with the identity of "Maruen"; it was merely a lingering attachment to the new Demon Descendant Homeland that he had transformed with his own hands during the time he had entered the Projection Plane.

It was just like the Daxia Territory in the Main Plane, but Daxia would endure forever, while the Chixin Tribe would only exist during the time he was there. At this moment, Xia Duo realized for the first time how sorrowful the intelligent beings in the Projection Plane were.

Although the internal experience was real, compared to the Reality of the outside world, it was an out-and-out virtuality.

For a moment, Xia Duo could not help but feel a confusion between the virtual and the real, and even doubted whether there existed something more real than the Main Plane outside of the Main Plane itself.

If he could, Xia Duo really wanted to stay in this Projection Plane forever, watching the Chixin Tribe develop and grow step by step with his own eyes, but unfortunately, everything has a choice.

In the end, he still chose the Main Plane.

However, he would no longer treat this exploration as a pure exploration, but rather like a long-lived father watching his child grow up bit by bit, grow old, and then silently die.

Many emotions welled up in his heart, finally turning into nothing but a long sigh.

……

The next day, Xia Duo adjusted his emotions and checked the final Mythallar construction blueprint. After confirming it was correct, he sent a message to Aosi and Yinsitedaoge.

Thanks to the disguise of the past year or two, no Elder would believe that their leader would be willing to commit suicide, so even for this final construction, no one came to watch.

After all, every Elder had a massive amount of endless work; even if their own work was finished, they could help others handle theirs, especially at the Research Institute—that was truly a bottomless pit.

At the operation site, Xia Duo followed the previous plan to perfect the Adaptive Mythallar as much as possible. But when his Saint Form approached its limit, he did not stop; instead, he continued to violently undergo Ascension, and completely merged himself into the Mythallar, or rather, into the macro-structure of the Magic Net.

This was the first time Xia Duo had performed such an operation. He didn't even know if such an operation would hinder his original body; he simply made this choice based on a vague intuition.

This was probably the most willful thing Xia Duo had done since he transmigrated.

After completely merging into the Mythallar and the Magic Net, Xia Duo felt his thinking and will had reached an unprecedented level of elevation. This elevation was not a qualitative change in depth or breadth, but rather a quantitative change in intensity.

At this moment, he felt that he was the Magic Net, that he was Magic itself. As his thoughts unfolded, a large amount of inspiration was directly shaped into Reality by the jubilant Magic Net without needing conversion.

Specifically, on top of a relatively complete Mythallar plan modeled after the Floating City of the Main Plane, Xia Duo also had a series of follow-up upgrade ideas regarding the Adaptive Mythallar.

And at this moment, as long as he wanted to, those upgrade ideas quickly turned into Reality and were directly reflected in every detail of the current Mythallar.

However, doing this was not without a price. As Xia Duo's thoughts turned into the Reality (of the Projection Plane), his consciousness was also rapidly fading.

In this process, he also realized the danger. Even though the ability to change Reality had an incomparable attraction, he still retained a sliver of consciousness to constantly backtrack through his memories, ensuring they were not damaged.

"What a pity, I still have so many ideas that haven't been expressed!"

At the final moment, the Soul of "Maruen" had almost completely disappeared, and only the bit of Reality that Xia Duo had projected from the Main Plane maintained the final frame of his soul.

But at this time, Xia Duo had no choice but to withdraw, so he withdrew—

Everything happened without warning, just like when he arrived.

Of course, it was impossible for it to be truly without warning. Within seconds of Xia Duo leaving, the Adaptive Mythallar sent the leader's last words, or rather, a revelation, to all holders of Advanced Permission Levels—

"Five thousand years from now, there shall be a crisis of the Dragon Madness Mythallar disintegrating. You must search to the east for the Dragon Madness Secret Scroll and the Prophecy Inheritance to prepare for future generations to save the world."

Five thousand years was an approximate number; it was actually closer to six thousand, corresponding to the time Node where Xia Duo was in the Main Plane. By that time, the Xilu had already experienced large-scale climate anomalies.

And it had already been determined to be related to the collapse of the Dragon Madness Mythallar. Perhaps it would not lead to a world-ending catastrophe, but leaving it alone was clearly even more irresponsible. When dealing with such things, it is better to worry unnecessarily than to be unprepared.

And if they were informed of this five thousand years in advance, Xia Duo was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of answer the Chixin Tribe could give him.

……

Main Plane, Changan, Tower of Time, in the Projection Hall.

Xia Duo woke up leisurely, but at this moment, he couldn't care about the rapid passage of his body's time or the huge contradiction between the two years of memories from the Projection Plane and the instant in the Main Plane.

Gathering a bit of spirit, he immediately called for the Tower Spirit to project again. When he saw that familiar "Yaoyue" scene again, Xia Duo couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"It seems Dewan's speculation was correct; that Projection Plane is indeed a Projection Plane with a relatively long duration!"
