Chapter 2549: War, Depression, and Peace

Two days later.

Floating City, Level 3 Detection Laboratory.

The Present World Anchoring Altar in the Central Main Experimental Area was ready; before truly conducting the Prophecy Ritual, Xia Duo asked himself once again if he would firmly and unswervingly execute the announcement delivery strategy in the future.

This question seemed unrelated to this prophecy—after all, the Announcement Delivery System was already in operation—but if the version of him in the present could not be firm in this strategy, would that also be reflected in the prophecy?

Therefore, Xia Duo needed to confirm with himself once more right now—regardless of whether this Prophecy Ritual achieved a satisfactory result, he would firmly and unswervingly continue to use the Announcement Delivery System from now on!

"Regardless of anything else, since I've done it, I must at least persist for twenty years!"

Having made the confirmation as if through self-hypnosis, Xia Duo began the Prophecy Ritual this time; the present was already anchored, and all he needed to do was project his Perception into the Astral Plane in a special form.

Soon, he once again saw the planar time lines, which were constantly spreading outward from the source point of the present like a gushing spring; if the present had not been anchored, what he would have seen would be an endless, directionless long river of time.

According to the "time line uncertainty" theory discovered by the Red Heart Alliance, when facing a time line, if one determines the time, one cannot determine the details, but if one cannot determine the details, knowing the chronological order is meaningless.

Thus, the means of anchoring the present world came into being, capable of constraining the perceived time lines and time flow to the period after the present, which is the future.

Therefore, in the Red Heart Alliance, Prophecy is actually not an unpopular Domain.

For the time being, Xia Duo is skeptical about the possibility of a full-scale war in the future; perhaps it is a Plane War, or a powerful force from another small Habitable Plane has attacked.

Because those few scenes all showed scenes of heavy snow and freezing cold, and the Great Xia Territory on the ground had only flickering lights, which seemed to have an indescribable sense of desolation.

When Xia Duo was in the Red Heart Alliance, he had heard of many prophecy cases where the prophet could not determine when the prophesied scenes would occur, thus greatly reducing their reference value.

Very soon, Xia Duo locked onto clues related to the Great Xia Territory in the vast flow of time, but immediately, the infinite possibilities of the future collapsed almost instantly into concrete scenes, and these scenes flashed rapidly through Xia Duo's consciousness like a carousel.

But at present, the biggest internal problems of Netheril have passed, and he really finds it hard to imagine what reason there could be to trigger a civil war in the future.

Fortunately, there were a few final scenes; seeing those scenes, even Xia Duo could not help but sigh that the Main Plane still had the possibility of normal development.

Demon Descendants are also unlikely; a Demon Descendant war is more likely to be a subversion of the time line, as the Demon Descendants do not have the strength for a head-on confrontation, otherwise they would have come out to operate publicly long ago.

Of course, at present, the Demon Descendants are the biggest enemy.

But even with the Present World Anchoring Altar, an ordinary prophet cannot determine the specific time of the details prophesied by prophesying the event itself.

Therefore, there is Xia Duo's bug-exploiting behavior: not only does he infinitely prophesy the future, but he also stamps the prophesied future scenes with an extra clear "Time Stamp," so that the prophet can immediately judge the specific future time of the scene.

Xia Duo has already thought of many possibilities; it is not just as simple as the Demon Descendants, but almost all forces possessing Prophecy have the potential to become the black hand of fate.

As for external wars, he has already come into contact with the main civilized forces of the Main Plane; leaving the Demon Descendants aside for now, in other aspects, only Zhamu Dasi might possibly go to war with him, but it is not worth dragging the entire Netheril into it.

In this way, no matter what kind of details are foreseen, it can at least be determined to be the future; otherwise, mistaking a scene from the past for the future would be a dereliction of duty for a prophet.

The moment shown in the scene seemed to be the harvest season; in the fields, there were machines that Xia Duo felt were inexplicably strange moving back and forth, knocking down the golden wheat stalks, and behind the machines were territory residents with their upper bodies half-bare, bundling the fallen wheat stalks.

That does have a tiny bit of possibility; after all, Saville passed through the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, and it is inevitable that he left traces and was tracked, but so much time has passed since Saville returned and there has been no sign of a plane invasion, so I suppose this possibility is not high.

Xia Duo only paid a little attention in his heart, then skipped the war scenes and mainly looked at other prophecy scenes.

What Xia Duo is truly worried about is that the heavy snow in the prophecy scenes is not winter, but other seasons, because that would mean the climate abnormality in the Northland has reached a very exaggerated degree.

Xia Duo is noncommittal about these few prophecy scenes; in previous prophecies, he had already discovered war scenes involving the entire Netheril, and at that time he speculated that the war might be a civil war.

This point is very important.

And to the south of the new town, continuous villages almost covered the east side of the southern half of the 【Xia Xia-Sawier Tongdao】, and to the east of that were large, neat, and uniform fields.

Several of the scenes were war scenes, and one of them even had the silhouette of a New Floating City, but the enemy's silhouette did not seem to be visible; instead, it looked more like some kind of strange natural disaster.

Because these are not details captured by professional Scrying spells, but merely a fleeting glimpse in the torrent of time, some details are difficult to distinguish....

At the same time, do such prophecy scenes also mean that his plan to find the Mythallar Control Center on the Main Plane has failed? Whether it was not found, or the collapse trend of the Dragon Madness Mythallar could not be controlled, both are troublesome.

After all, prophecy itself carries great uncertainty; even if the prophesied future is certain to happen, as long as the time cannot be determined, it is impossible to respond well, let alone the fact that the prophesied future is more likely not to happen at all.

"What a disaster-ridden Main Plane!"

As for the Main Plane, it mainly depends on whether Xia Duo's experiment can succeed; if it succeeds, Prophecy might become a very popular major in the future, but one must also be vigilant against people proficient in Prophecy playing with fate.

It is even possible that the entire Main Plane is shrouded in such an extremely abnormal climate, and no one can stay out of it.

More than half of the remaining scenes did not show the encrypted text information delivered by the Announcement Delivery System, but these scenes also made Xia Duo pay extra attention.

It can be seen that this is still a perspective looking down from the sky, with the main perspective facing the 【Xia Xia-Sawier Tongdao】 on the ground; at this time, the new town, which is still in the Layton proposal on the Main Plane, has already begun to take shape.

Moreover, he is very suspicious of Zhamu Dasi's strength; whether they have the strength to have a full-scale war with Netheril—not to mention anything else, just him driving a Floating City over to bomb them, Zhamu Dasi would find it very difficult to resist.

Not to mention that the territory on the Main Plane has recently received more than 200,000 new residents, so it shouldn't be too desolate.

Just like the peaceful scene shown in these few prophecy scenes—

The reason why Xia Duo pays attention to these is mainly because he has seen the Great Xia Territory in winter; although Magic Lamps were not yet popularized at that time, it was not to the point of having only flickering lights.

Besides that, he has another kind of worry, which is the heavy snow weather that seems more like a background in the scene; does the Nan Jing not snow? Even before these two years of climate abnormality, the Nan Jing would not snow every winter.
