Chapter 2459: Parsing Plane Coordinates

"This is simple. Your Excellency Puman has lived in the Tianshui Plane for a long time and should be very familiar with the elemental composition of the Tianshui Plane Root, right? As long as one of the three parsed Plane Coordinates matches, then that is highly likely to be it."

A Plane Coordinate is essentially the "difference" in the space-time state of a plane relative to the Main Plane within the Ether Interlayer. Before going to the Red Heart Alliance Projection Plane, Xia Duo was most proficient in the Plane Domain.

Having been to the Red Heart Alliance, although his progress in the Plane Domain was relatively small, that was only in comparison to other mainstream domains of the Red Heart Alliance; compared to his past self, there was still some progress.

Parsing the elemental composition of a corresponding Plane Root through Plane Coordinates is not a very complex task; one could even say that once the Plane Coordinates are obtained, parsing the elemental composition is purely an incidental result.

And the elemental composition of a plane's root can basically be regarded as the "DNA" of a plane. It is indeed possible for two planes to be completely identical, but the probability of encountering this with normal planes is too small.

Even for two Semi-planes where every element is artificially preset to be the same, it is possible for the root elemental composition to change due to a tiny disturbance during the process of Plane Evolution.

In fact, without special handling, the occurrence of disturbances that change the Plane Root elemental composition is entirely a high-probability event.

Of course, regarding this incident, the precision of the Plane Coordinates parsed from the prophecy vision cannot compare to Semi-plane root detection under laboratory conditions, but for normal planes, it should be sufficient.

After all, there is no other way to verify it besides this method now.

Teleporting over to verify would be simple, but that would mean a complete falling out with the Seven Towers. Unless absolutely necessary, Xia Duo still feels there is no need to do that.

And the Plane Coordinates he is talking about now, compared against the Plane Root elemental composition Puman understands, should be the most reliable verification method at present.

It was just that what he didn't expect was—Puman does not have much understanding of the elemental composition of the Plane Root.

"Apologies, I haven't paid attention to this field usually. If I had known, I would have had Talan come over; she is the one who mainly researches Plane Exploration. I am truly not up to it."

But thinking that the possibility of Talan coming over would be unable to win anyone's trust, because Talan has never left the Tianshui Plane, this made Puman feel somewhat dejected.

"Puman, the Magic Net environment of the Tianshui Plane must be different from the Main Plane. Don't you all need to perform adaptations when casting spells over there?"

"Of course we have to adapt. Does this have to do with the elemental composition of the Plane Root?" Puman asked in confusion.

"It does!"

Xia Duo nodded very seriously, then glanced at Yinaole. Both of them saw the problem in each other's eyes; as a Great Arcanist, Puman should not be completely ignorant of these questions that are entirely common sense!

Perhaps it is the Seven Towers that deliberately blocked knowledge related to planes in various Other Planes, but that Talan?

Xia Duo did not delve into it. He briefly explained the relationship between the Plane Root, the Magic Net, and Plane Coordinates. Puman then suddenly realized, and subsequently, as if thinking of something, his expression changed for a moment.

"What's wrong? What did you think of?" Xia Duo asked.

"Nothing, just thinking about why I was discovered by the Seven Towers so quickly after I left. It must have been Talan and the others. Those people who research Plane Exploration have, in all likelihood, long been colluding with the high-level members of the Seven Towers."

At this moment, Puman looked desolate. He should have understood earlier, but at that time the Tianshui Plane was facing a blockade, and without the help of Talan and the others, he could not have escaped at all. Thinking about it this way, Talan and the others must have had their own unavoidable circumstances!

"Sigh—"

"Since that's the case, let's each take action."

Seeing that Puman had nothing else to say, and he had nothing else to ask, Yinaole waved his hand and decisively issued the signal to act.

After receiving confirmation from Puman and Xia Duo, he directly dispelled this Astral Avatar.

……

Tower of Time, Plane Exploration Center.

Yinaole acted alone, while Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time with Puman. As soon as he returned, he temporarily requisitioned all twelve High Mages of the Plane Exploration Center to form a separate Spirit Thought Network with him to carry out the parsing task.

Of course, the main work was still undertaken by Xia Duo's brain-computer. The reason for calling those twelve High Mages was mainly because he needed their different thinking perspectives, as well as a portion of their computing power.

As for Puman, Xia Duo had him operate the Exploration Array to continue accumulating data for the Tower of Time. This guy is not good at the Plane Domain, and it is not convenient to open the Spirit Thought Network to him. Finding him some work to do also avoids him being idle and worrying all the time.

Once those three Plane Coordinates are parsed, they will need to use the Exploration Array for secondary verification, so Xia Duo simply set the task location at the Plane Exploration Center; ordering Puman to work was purely incidental.

In the Spirit Thought Network, Xia Duo projected the complete prophecy vision of the scene with the Portal in his memory. Although it is called a vision, it is actually composed of several segments of dynamic imagery. Xia Duo speculates that they are scenes from different time periods.

In addition to information such as color, airflow, and sound perceived by normal senses, the prophecy vision also possesses almost all perceivable information within the prophecy, which of course also includes intuitive observation and Passive Perception of the state of the Magic Net.

The images Xia Duo projected in the Spirit Thought Network were mainly Magic Net information, which included information on the Magic Net String gathered by the Portal itself, as well as the impact of its existence on the Magic Net environment.

It is very difficult to parse Plane Coordinates from it because, generally speaking, no one would be stupid enough to put Plane Coordinate information directly out in the open. But these three Portals are all in an open state, which provided an opportunity for Xia Duo's parsing—

An open Portal connects the Main Plane and the Other Plane, and its impact on the Main Plane's Magic Net environment essentially still contains the Other Plane's coordinate information.

If the Portal were not in an open state, then even if Xia Duo were more proficient in the Plane Domain, he would likely not be able to parse the corresponding Plane Coordinates.

"In the current situation, this is truly a stroke of luck!"

Xia Duo sighed in his heart, then continued to clear up the states of the Magic Net String like unraveling a cocoon. This work lasted for five hours before it was basically completed, and this was only the preparatory work before parsing.

The specific parsing process was not such near-manual labor; every bit of progress required consuming a massive amount of mental energy. From the initial exclusion of interference between Portals to the subsequent reverse-derivation of Plane Coordinates, Xia Duo felt as if he had returned to the Red Heart Alliance. It is just a pity that the Tower of Time does not have the perfect research conditions of the Red Heart Alliance, nor does it have the high-level researchers of the Red Heart Alliance.

Just excluding the interference between the three Portals exhausted Xia Duo's brain. As for the subsequent reverse-derivation of Plane Coordinates, in reality, the information revealed by the Portals could not achieve a complete parsing.

A considerable portion of it required him to use rules, common sense, and all available information to hypothesize and verify, and even until the end, he was unable to obtain a single unique corresponding coordinate.
