Chapter 3305: Prophecy Manifestations Interfere with Reality

Those fragmented images are actually the various manifestations that reveal the future.

The vast majority of them are meaningless elemental anomalies; of course, this is from Xia Duo's perspective. For other Mages of Prophecy, these elemental anomalies are also interpretable future manifestations, and many Mages of Prophecy even specialize in interpreting these types of manifestations.

Xia Duo treats Prophecy more as a Scrying Spell to peek into the future, wanting to find clues related to reality through Prophecy, rather than prophesying for the sake of prophesying, then creating a big news story, or creating one himself.

To this day, he believes that the Elan Rebirth Project of the Darkness Society is just a super project concocted by a group of insane Mages of Prophecy; there is no such thing as an Elan Civilization from an alternate Time Line discovering it is not the main Time Line and then wanting to overturn the heavens to occupy the mainstream.

The current Time Line of the Main Plane has already established a connection with the distant Domain-Outer Sacred Golden Dragon Empire. If the current Time Line of the Main Plane were overturned, could the Darkness Society also change the Sacred Golden Dragon Empire along with it?

Even if the connection between the two is very weak, Mages of the Main Plane have been exploring Other Planes for a long time; Xia Duo truly cannot fathom why the Darkness Society thinks it can swap the Time Line where the Elan Civilization exists into the present.

At most, it would be reshaping the history of the Main Plane or a certain region, replacing the current possibility with another possibility, nothing more.

All of this is merely a farce written and directed by the leader of the Darkness Society, the Wise One, who imposes his own delusions on others without caring whether they are willing or not.

If the Elan Civilization could truly influence the present across Time Lines, then we should have long since transcended the illusory Time Line and occupied reality.

Yet reality has not; there are only a group of poor people deceived or brainwashed by Mages of Prophecy who are risking their lives for that illusory goal, resulting in harming others and themselves, and it has even developed to the point of endangering the world.

But in reality, no one can guarantee that their own future will definitely exist, and Xia Duo is no exception. For example, right now, he has already made preparations to stop the Darkness Society and escape the Main Plane.

Of course, in the future before the Darkness Society successfully completes the Cloud Pattern Rebirth ritual, whether Elan is still called Elan remains a question mark.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Xia Duo's Perception fell, and he did not know when the ritual had completely stopped, but Xia Duo remained immersed in those empathetic future manifestations.

But it is undeniable that in such a future, the region corresponding to the Ailan Plain is far more prosperous than any country in the Northland in reality.

Therefore, from the first prophecy, Xia Duo would first exclude manifestations he could not understand, and then look for usable clues among the manifestations he could understand.

Prophesying the future is meant to know human factors; non-artificial scenes contain too little useful information, or are too difficult to interpret, so Xia Duo simply gave up. After all, he is not a Mage of Prophecy who specializes in the study of Prophecy.

In the manifestations where the Darkness Society succeeds, Xia Duo saw a large number of Elan emblems; the scene he saw the most was the Ailan Plain, which he recognized from the outline of the edge of the Narrow Sea.

The so-called "Pafen" is a type of encrypted graphic that contains specific information that can be interpreted by Xia Duo.

Rather, he had previously established synchronized Puffin Announcement Systems in his Territory and even several major cities in the Northland to facilitate obtaining more intuitive clues from Prophecy.

It is just like a character in a movie jumping out and slapping the viewer; any normal person would be unable to accept such a thing.

Because in that one future manifestation, that kind of Pyramid actually interfered with his prophecy. After the Prophecy Ritual stopped, the reason he was so shocked and unable to accept it was mostly because of that kind of Pyramid, and only a small part was because of the cruelty of the future.

This means that the Darkness Society is very likely to have truly been influenced by an alternate Time Line, rather than it just being the crazy idea of their leader, the Wise One.

But now, a possibility within a pure prophecy can actually interfere with reality; what does that mean?

But every future of Cloud Pattern Rebirth has similar existences. Xia Duo saw the function of these buildings, which had to do with environmental control and climate regulation, but only the Pyramid-shaped ones left a lasting impression on Xia Duo.

Therefore, he would also look at those futures that do not have Puffin Announcements but can be understood, and then compare the differences between these two types of futures, attempting to discover certain key information from them.

Unlike the previous "collision" with the Mage of Prophecy Ailan where they perceived each other, even though it was across time and space (Xia Duo and the future Ailan perceived each other, which made Xia Duo decide to take action against Ailan immediately; at that time, Ailan had not yet performed the prophecy), it was at least a task in reality.

In his cognition, no matter what was seen in the prophecy manifestations, the essence was like watching a movie with a first-person and fixed perspective; the existences in the movie could by no means cause any non-psychological influence on the viewer themselves.

But now, what had Xia Duo experienced? He prophesied that the Pyramid could actually interfere with the prophecy. Although prophecy is looking at the future, it is itself an act in reality; the existences in the prophecy could actually interfere with reality.

Truly pathetic and hateful.

He only treats Prophecy as a tool to assist in finding clues, and would not let Prophecy take the lead like the Darkness Society, falling to the point where he cannot even distinguish between reality and illusion.

And now, after excluding more than 99% of the meaningless manifestations, Xia Duo has successively excluded most of the non-artificial scenes.

What left the deepest impression on Xia Duo were those buildings similar to Pyramids distributed across the land, although not every future where the Darkness Society successfully completes the Cloud Pattern Rebirth ritual has such Pyramid-shaped buildings.

But this is a fact!

This time is the same; after excluding those manifestations that cannot be understood, he still needs to perform further screening. This is not because he prefers to see a certain kind of future, and therefore deliberately looks for that kind of future.

After establishing such a system, in the subsequent few prophecies, Xia Duo directly searched for Puffin information in the future manifestations, in order to obtain clearer future information more rapidly.

Of course, doing so also has its shortcomings, which is that such a future is already limited to one that must have a Puffin Announcement System, which in reality means it must have Xia Duo himself.

If the future were not like that, then there would certainly be no Puffin Announcements.

These manifestations can be roughly divided into two categories: one where the Darkness Society succeeds, and one where the Darkness Society fails.

It took a long time before he revealed a shocked and unacceptable expression; there is no other reason, it is just that these manifestations were too dire, and almost none of them survived this crisis perfectly.

After such an elimination, the remaining future manifestations were very limited. Xia Duo projected himself into these future manifestations to obtain more intuitive Perception.
