Chapter 2875: Rebirth Project Window Period, Infiltration and Expansion

Badijiaer expressed great interest in Xia Duo's suggestions and the boost to Netheril's influence that the matter he mentioned would bring, not minding that the two were not speaking face-to-face, and immediately followed up by asking a series of related questions.

Xia Duo answered them one by one, and finally, Badijiaer told Xia Duo, "I will convene an extraordinary meeting shortly to inform the councilors of the latest progress in the negotiations and the vote on this new proposal."

Xia Duo had no objections to this. After ending the communication, he did not continue to interpret Pafen's consciousness. Badijiaer had just mentioned convening an extraordinary meeting shortly, which should be a relatively short remote meeting, so he prepared to go to the Laboratory after the meeting ended.

Over the past week, he had successively interpreted six or seven of Pafen's Consciousness Copies, and the information obtained, even if it did not account for everything, was essentially the essence of it; the follow-up was mostly to confirm some details that might have been missed.

Among all the information that had been interpreted, the most important part was, of course, the part about the Illuminati, including some details shown by the Wise One, as well as the number of Apostles and the Rebirth Ritual.

Next was the Illuminati's plan to subvert the Time Line, which was known internally as the "Ailan Rebirth Project." This project had no specific timetable or operational details; all actions were arranged by the Wise One on an ad hoc basis.

However, this project was not entirely under the control of the Wise One. According to what Pafen understood, this Ailan Rebirth Project had a window period.

In short, the further away from the Ailan region of the Main Plane—and not the current Jiao Fu Wang Guo—and the further away from the day of Pafen's independence, the fewer Time-Involving Rituals were needed to subvert the Time Line.

If one could definitely perform the ritual in Jiao Fu Wang Guo on the day of Pafen's independence, perhaps only one ritual would be enough to subvert the Time Line.

But unfortunately, on the day of Pafen's independence, Pafen was actually still under the actual control of Yierlan, and the so-called independence existed more in the records of the Northland Alliance.

But even if no conditions were mentioned at the time, once transformed into a Demon Descendant (being polluted does not necessarily mean turning into a Demon Descendant, but rather it is more like being cursed, which would come with many negative states), could one really expect to stay out of it at that point?

Besides the internal members of the Darkness Society and the window period for the Time-Involving Ritual, there was other important information in Ailan's consciousness, and its impact on Reality was no less than the former, and perhaps even greater.

……

This might also explain why the Demon Descendants had to perform two consecutive rituals in Yierlan and Sluwende this year, rather than waiting a few years or decades for the Northland countries' vigilance against Demon Descendants to drop before acting suddenly.

Just think about it: a Dwarf riddled with various diseases due to Demon Aura pollution is suddenly told there is a solution, and the other party does not necessarily demand that he betray his tribe, but offers unconditional aid.

Based on this, Xia Duo was more confident in determining that this Mithril Mine incident in the Grey Peak Mountains was indeed caused by the Darkness Society; even if it was not directly planned by them, it might be some kind of special indirect Guidance.

Thinking about it, it was not very likely!

Theoretically, they could indeed do that, but the price was that it might require countless rituals to truly subvert the Time Line, which was obviously not realistic.

However, that was also not realistic; the Darkness Society would certainly not be willing to lie dormant. In Ailan's consciousness, there was information about the next ritual, but the next ritual was still brewing, and only the Wise One knew the specific time and place.

It would be ideal to find the Wise One's true identity or related clues; if one could catch them directly, that would be best.

For example, Ailan had once participated in a discussion within the Darkness Society where an Apostle suggested considering infiltrating humans or other races, but this discussion did not lead to a clear decision and remained at the discussion stage.

Then there was Danzo, which was already in the Underdark; many Dwarves had already been tainted by Demon Aura during the Drow War, not to mention that there were still many demons in the Underdark corresponding to the Northland region that had not been completely cleared.

It was just a pity that there was no information about the Mithril Mine in Ailan's consciousness—at least not in what Xia Duo had interpreted so far, and the rest probably wouldn't have it either.

In such a situation, how many people could resist?

It was just a pity that the time Xia Duo took to interpret this information was already a bit late. He was not sure if he could still catch the Demon Descendants if he went now, but the Mo Yi Midian system itself did not involve much of the internal Darkness Society and was a tool that could be discarded at any time.

Currently, almost one hundred percent of Demon Descendants were transformed from Elves, so the Northland countries basically defaulted to the idea that Demon Descendants were Demon Descendant Elves, but if the Darkness Society were to develop Demon Descendants from other races, the situation would be very different.

In addition, there were the locations of the Mo Yi Midian and the lists of Demon Descendants that Ailan had mastered as an Apostle, which was also information with a huge impact on Reality.

At this time, if a mature Demon Descendant who had mastered Magic Energy offered to solve the sequelae of Demon Aura and even bloodline pollution as a condition to seduce them, it would be very difficult to resist unless one had an extremely strong will.

It was just that the Demon Descendants had not yet expanded to other races; otherwise, it would really be a big problem. Although according to the information interpreted from Ailan's consciousness, the Darkness Society had indeed not developed Demon Descendants from races other than Elves, who knew if they would in the future?

So Xia Duo simply stopped thinking about those things. Besides the fact that he could not reach the root cause, another important reason was that the list of Demon Descendants mastered by Ailan was very limited, and it was still within the territory of Keman.

The current Keman was in a state of high alert due to Ailan's disappearance; unless Xia Duo made Ailan's consciousness information public, what reason would he have to strike at the Demon Descendants there?

Or perhaps run outside the Northland, to the edge of the Plane, to perform the ritual.

In other words, Danzo was almost a perfect place for Demon Descendant transformation; being tainted by Demon Aura made one easily infected into a Demon Descendant, and they were not primitive Demon Descendants who mastered Magic Energy, just like the initial birth process of Demon Descendants.

Therefore, according to this information in Ailan's consciousness, as long as the Northland Alliance dragged out the time, the conspiracy would become increasingly difficult to realize.

Ailan's consciousness information would definitely be provided to the Northland Alliance, but not now. Just because one prophet had a problem did not mean all prophets had a problem. He would wait until he found more clues, enough to convince all countries to act simultaneously and take down those suspicious prophets in one fell swoop.

Take Netheril, for example; once faced with the Darkness Society's infiltration, I am afraid not many people would be able to resist.

Actually, Xia Duo had an even more terrifying guess: the Darkness Society might have already developed Demon Descendants in races other than Elves, but because Ailan had not yet performed the Rebirth Ritual, he could not participate in such core plans, and the discussions he participated in might only be post-facto discussions intended to unify internal opinions.

Therefore, missing that opportunity would require more rituals to compensate, and the further forward in time and the further away from the Pafen Kingdom, the more times it would be needed.
