Chapter 2546: Conception of Future Information Encoding

"I am certain that this time, Artist, even if you do not take the initiative to invite the Elves over, they will come of their own accord—whether out of curiosity, for leisure, or for scrutiny."

"But getting those Elves to participate in the Art Festival and submit works that align with the theme likely won't be easy, so just do as you said and invite the Akaola artists over."

"I, too, am very curious to see what Daxia Territory looks like in the eyes of an Elf!"

After the transformation of the new order in Netheril, Xia Duo's work focus for a considerably long time in the future would be placed within Netheril; he actually did not care much about how the outside world viewed him or Daxia Territory.

Because he believed that time would speak for him.

It was just that Xia Duo's prompt agreement made Lawrence feel somewhat anxious and hesitant again. "My Lord, is this really okay?"

"What could be the problem? At worst, those Elves will try their best to smear us after they return, but will what we intend to do change because of their smears or praises?"

"It will not!" Lawrence answered firmly.

"Since it will not, then why should we care too much about their opinions?"

Speaking of this, Xia Duo shifted his gaze away from Lawrence, looked into the distance, and continued: "In the future, the interactions between nations will be more about interests!"

Previously, Lawrence had taken Xia Shao to observe two new plays and also viewed some of the entries for the New Wind Art Exhibition submitted by the territory's residents. From these individual exhibits, Xia Shao saw vivid microcosms of life in the territory.

The spacious laboratory appeared somewhat empty.

For example, making a pact with oneself in the present moment that, in the future, when encountering an event difficult to decide upon, one would leave a visible, special symbol on one's body.

Returning to the Tower of Time, Xia Duo first went to the Blue Crystal Plane to check the status of the blood essence stored there previously, and after recording the relevant data, he immediately returned to the Tower of Time.

To investigate the situation of the Mythallar Control Center in the Arctic, and to peer into the past, present, and future of the Demon Descendants through a Prophecy Ritual.

Of course, from the perspective of someone who had studied abroad in the 【Red Heart Alliance】, the infrastructure of this laboratory was somewhat outdated now, but wanting to renovate and update it was not something that could be completed in a day or two.

"Please rest assured, Lord of the Territory, Lawrence will definitely give it his all!"

But compared to the inability to judge in the past, knowing such a "correct time" could play a very critical role in Xia Duo's decision-making.

Next, this matter could be left to Lawrence; there was still one month until the Art Festival, and Xia Duo was also prepared to devote himself to his own work.

At present, Xia Duo could no longer wait for the move-in to the New Floating City; he prepared to first investigate the situation in the Arctic, and then conduct a Prophecy Ritual regarding the Demon Descendants.

It truly made him feel incomparably gratified; the New Life Movement had achieved extraordinary results since its inception, and these exhibits, which condensed the thoughts of the territory's residents, explained everything.

Speaking of which, after the completion of the second phase of construction for the New Floating City, the Floating City Mythallar had long since completed the reconstruction of the Adamantine main structure, and now it was already possible to consider the third phase of construction.

The Mythallar Control Center was in the Arctic; this was news Xia Duo had obtained from the 【Projection Plane: Red Heart Alliance】, but because he had visited that region of the Main Plane during his previous travels, he had even inspected it due to the special nature of the polar region.

With the main body of the New Floating City already completed, although the infrastructure construction of the old Floating City had not completely stopped, it had slowed down significantly compared to the past.

As for the top-tier Level 3 laboratories in the Research Zone, there were naturally not many fully equipped in such a situation; as of now, only the few laboratories being used by Xia Duo, Niya, and Saville had completed the Level 3 standard outfitting.

"If there is no profit to be made, even the closest relationships will gradually drift apart; if there is profit, even enemies will approach you. So, calm your mind; we only need to take care of ourselves."

One could even go a step further to pre-arrange a code for future information, so that by seeing specific symbols through the prophecy vision, one could directly interpret the various pieces of information prompted by one's future self.

"And territory culture and education will play a crucial role in future development. As the Chief Official of the Territory Culture and Education Department, holding the responsibility for culture and education in a region, the burden on your shoulders is very heavy!"

Among them, the Detection Laboratory that Xia Duo had arrived at now was one of them; others included the Creation Mythallar Laboratory, the Mythallar General Laboratory, the Mythal Laboratory, and so on, totaling nine.

As long as one prophesied to a specific location, one could see the correct time of the prophecy vision at a glance through the vision itself. Of course, the correct time here only referred to the 【Time Stamp】 and did not necessarily correspond to the future information of that specific moment.

This was indeed a significant challenge!

In fact, it was entirely possible to artificially add some 【Time Stamps】 in the present world that could be determined through naked-eye observation; in this way, the future extending forward from the current world would also contain these 【Time Stamps】.

But this was something that had to be done, because no one knew if the Dragon Madness Mythallar would suddenly collapse and disintegrate at any moment; the faster this matter could be resolved, the better, of course!

But at that time, he had not discovered any abnormal phenomena. Now, re-investigating, he not only had to surpass the previous means and intensity of investigation but also had to maintain secrecy to a certain extent.

After the third phase was completed, the New Floating City would comprehensively surpass the current Chang'an City. Of course, there would be a fourth and fifth phase later, but none would have as much change as the first three phases; it would be nothing more than patching up the design, adding some basic facilities, and decorations.

It was very simple; he thought that interpreting prophecy visions previously was not easy, especially the time revealed by the prophecy, which was very difficult to determine, yet this clue was extremely important.

If it were still before the signing of the New Covenant or before the plenary session of the Seventon Council, Xia Duo might have continued to use those fragmented times to study the Magic Computer.

Various equipment and facilities were designed and built to assist in detection, whether to enhance detection intensity, to stabilize detection traces, to increase the surprise of detection, or to exempt from detection backlash—the list went on.

It could be considered as removing a large stone hanging in his heart.

Xia Duo was not sure if other prophets would do this, but he felt that the feasibility of this approach was very high. Since he had thought of it, he had to try it at least a little. But at present, with a long month, or even longer time ahead, that required doing some more important things—

He was not prepared to move anything else over there; the New Floating City side could indeed use the latest equipment and facilities.

Unlike the Creation Mythallar Laboratory, which had a barely usable support team, the Detection Laboratory had only Xia Duo himself, aside from the various equipment and facilities needed for experiments.

And while thinking of 【Time Stamps】, Xia Duo also thought of more possibilities for leaving traces in the future through present-world command—

The Research Zone of Floating City Chang'an.

But when starting the Detection Array, Xia Duo suddenly thought of one thing, which was unrelated to this detection, but related to the upcoming Prophecy Ritual!

However, Xia Duo did not care about those; in fact, the Detection Laboratory was designed for single-person use from the beginning, or rather, this place was his exclusive Detection Room.
