Chapter 3016: Another Turn of Events

————Still about an hour away~~

Tower of Time.

Xia Duo headed straight for the Exploration Center of the Plane Exploration Layer as soon as he returned. Ever since they obtained the spells related to the Ether Boundary a month ago, the Tower of Time had also established a permanent observation point based on Ether Boundary theory.

At first, the discovery of new planes one after another had brought Xia Duo some pleasant surprises, but later, as more and more new planes were discovered, he gradually became somewhat numb to it. Coupled with being busy with other affairs, his attention to this side had lessened significantly recently.

Upon returning, he had been wondering what new discovery could have made Saville unable to resist contacting him to share it. Was it the discovery of the long-awaited Habitable Plane? Or had they discovered the movements of other councilors during the exploration process?

Upon arriving at the location, Saville, having learned of Xia Duo's return, immediately synchronized his position. Xia Duo followed the Sending information to the operation room responsible for Ether Interlayer detection.

At this moment, the operation room was bustling with people. Except for a few who were operating the Plane Exploration Array to project a Perception Field into the Ether Interlayer, the rest were gathered around a large table made of several desks pushed together, discussing something while looking at the drawings and floating Projections on the table.

Xia Duo's arrival did not even attract anyone's attention, except for Saville, who had been prepared. Seeing this, Xia Duo was not in a hurry to ask immediately, but instead watched from the sidelines for a few minutes before revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Quite a full house! Hurry up and tell me, what have you discovered?" Xia Duo asked.

"Let me explain in detail——"

Starting from the plane Projection mechanism might just be the correct path for the Moon Exploration Project!

"You discovered that these new planes have no corresponding Projections in the sky of the Main Plane, and they are not the stars you usually think they are!"

Netherese Mages may not believe in the Lord of Radiance, but at the very least, they believe that the other party truly exists.

"Currently, at the Exploration Center, except for the people operating the Plane Exploration Array to collect data from the Ether Interlayer, everyone else has shifted to a new direction—exploring the plane Projection mechanism, with the goal of directly locating new planes through the stars."

At that moment, he had actually already guessed what Saville and the others had discovered, but he still wanted a clear response from them.

For a moment, Xia Shao could not help but wonder if there really existed some Sun Plane or Moon Plane? If they existed, were there intelligent beings on them?

"By the way, I forgot to mention that during my return from the exotic realm, the only plane I saw that possessed stars was the Holy Golden Dragon Empire plane; other planes did not have stars."

But it could be confirmed that there were moons.

"Then what about the sun and moon? The Holy Golden Dragon Empire should have a sun and moon, right?" Xia Shao asked again.

As for the sun, Saville had not deliberately shown it, so it was not very clear, and as for the stars, because the night lights in the Golden Dragon City where Saville had been were relatively dim, they could not be seen clearly either.

……

He remembered having seen the moon of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire in Saville's memories before.

"That is indeed a phenomenon that cannot be explained at the current stage, but I speculate it might be related to the plane's mass. Can't semi-planes also fail to form star Projections in the Main Plane?"

Mentioning the recent new discovery, Saville behaved like a young man, his tone was excited, and there was even an unusual glow on his face. When introducing it to Xia Shao, he could not help but gesticulate:

Xia Shao did not hide his own guesses, but for Saville, who had grown up accepting the concept that "the sun = the Lord of Radiance," this was somewhat of a challenge to his cognition.

"Where are the difficulties in researching the plane Projection mechanism? Is there anything I can do?" Xia Shao continued to ask.

"This has to start from that Ether Boundary observation point. With the help of that observation point, we discovered many new planes. Later, by analyzing the distribution of these new planes in the Ether Interlayer, we speculated on their space-time relationship with the Main Plane, and as a result, we had this discovery!"

The result was as expected; Saville gave an affirmative answer, "As you can see, we may have discovered the essence of the stars in the sky!"

Hearing that Saville wanted more people again, Xia Shao could not help but have a headache. Not long ago, the second phase of the Inheritance Ritual had just given out a batch, and now he wanted more; it really was a headache!

Saville finally did not directly respond to Xia Shao's speculation about the sun being a plane Projection, but he used concrete actions to show his thoughts.

Saville continued to use semi-planes as an example, "Semi-planes can only project a dim star point in the night sky of the Main Plane at the very moment of collision and energy level leap."

"But the Holy Golden Dragon Empire plane has three moons, which are the Blue Moon, the White Moon, and the Red Moon. I have seen the first two moons with my own eyes; the White Moon is there every day, the Blue Moon is only there in the middle of the month, and only the Red Moon appears once every sixty or eighty years; I have never seen it."

"The Holy Golden Dragon Empire also has a sun, white-gold in color, which has certain differences in appearance from the sun of the Main Plane, but the feeling it gives is almost exactly the same. As for the moon, that also exists."

"By the way!"

"Do you know what this means? If a plane can form star Projections in other planes, then do all stars correspond to a new plane? If stars are like this, then what about the sun and the moon?"

In the Main Plane, especially in Netheril, it is generally believed that the sun is the Lord of Radiance, and the moon also represents a goddess, the daughter of the Lord of Radiance.

"Then do you think the sun and moon could be plane Projections?" Xia Shao finally asked this sensitive topic.

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked again: "You and I both know that other planes do not have stars. How should this be explained? Could it be that only other planes project onto the Main Plane, and the Main Plane cannot project onto other planes?"

"The difficulties are mainly two: one is more new plane samples, and the other is the analysis algorithm for the relevant data. At present, there are ways to solve these two difficulties. The former has caught up with a good time, as the Ether Boundary can indeed discover new planes, and the latter, the Alliance Public Computing Pool, can also provide a good auxiliary effect to a certain extent. But fundamentally, it still requires a large number of researchers engaged in this research."

If the sun-star-plane Projection-plane line of reasoning is established, then is it possible for all planes to become a real life, or even become a god?

"Later, we conducted several more semi-plane experiments, letting semi-planes impact the Main Plane. At the moment of plane disintegration, the energy level climbed to the extreme. As a result, we really observed the process of extremely faint star points being extinguished in the night sky of the Main Plane!"

If one could directly locate new planes through the stars, then perhaps one could really go and see the sun and moon in person to see if they are real planes.

"Based on various factors, I speculate that a plane must possess a certain mass to form Projections in other planes. By the same token, it must also be a plane with a certain mass to be able to receive star Projections from other planes."

Saville's words were like a thunderclap constantly vibrating in Xia Shao's mind. Yes, if ordinary stars all corresponded to a plane, then what about the sun? What about the moon?
