Chapter 3337: Advanced, Too Late

————This chapter is still a little short, currently rushing it~

————

Regardless of whether Dafuni is the Wise One she implies, her current remarks alone are enough to prove that she has a deep connection with the Illuminati, or at the very least, is an important figure within it!

"If that so-called Perfect New World is truly as good as you say, then it must be born from the changes of this world itself, and should not be created by a self-proclaimed Destined One like you."

Xia Duo's words seemed to waver, but his magical probing did not stop, and he had already discovered some clues; he found that from the moment Dafuni appeared until now, although she had exhibited some behaviors he could not understand, she seemed to have never attacked him.

He did not think this was because the other party was kind-hearted; the other party clearly had the ability to ignore his Forbidden Restriction, yet did not launch a counterattack—was it that she did not want to? Xia Duo felt it was more likely that she could not!

It was not that the other party was unable to attack him, but that attacking would be useless, and some action of his had indeed threatened the other party; otherwise, judging by the identity of the Wise One she implied, there was no need to stay here and waste time.

So what kind of action or means could actually threaten the other party?

Regarding this question, Xia Duo did not need to guess, he only needed to probe, and he had indeed done so, it was just that he could not see the effect for the time being.

"Isn't it good to let the Perfect New World descend directly? As for the original people of this world, if they are willing, the new world also has a place for them; if they are not willing, then they are a necessary price!"

Dafuni's voice was cold, coming from the thick starlight, completely devoid of any human warmth; perhaps this was her most Reality-based thought, and Xia Duo had never thought he could persuade her, but he still tried:

"If the price of the new world is built upon the corpses of the old world, then the birth of this new world is too cruel. If someone in the future discovers that that world is actually not perfect, and wants to use the same method to create an even more perfect new world, would you choose to join them?"

Xia Duo's words seemed to touch Dafuni, and even the starlight wrapping her body began to dissipate outward. She was silent for a moment, once again dodging the coverage of Xia Duo's Wide-Area Prohibition, and only then gave her answer:

"If the other party can prove that the new world they want to create is more perfect, then I am willing to join them!"

Hearing such an answer, Xia Duo was a little surprised, but his heart also stirred. If the other party was not lying, this seemed to be a rare opportunity to change her, so he immediately said:

"The curtain call of the old world is inevitable, but your new world is not perfect either. I also have a new world plan here; although it is not perfect either, it should be more suitable for the current Northland than your plan."

"What plan?" Dafuni's tone rarely showed a trace of fluctuation, but she was getting impatient with Xia Duo's constant Spellcasting probes. She dispersed the starlight and stopped dodging, instead questioning Xia Duo:

"Is this your way of talking?"

Xia Duo hesitated for a moment and temporarily stopped his Spellcasting probes. Anyway, if they could not reach an agreement and he wanted to continue probing, he could do so at any time. Moreover, he seemed to understand a little how the other party did it; perhaps probes of this level did not have much meaning, and he still needed to find a way to directly threaten the other party.

As his thoughts turned, Xia Duo landed in the secret manor where the Moonshadow Family was hiding, and at the same time made a gesture of invitation to Dafuni.

Seeing this, Dafuni hesitated slightly, but still accepted. She dispersed more starlight, retaining only the veil form from when she first appeared. After landing on the ground, she walked side by side with Xia Duo to a bench at the edge of the garden.

If one only looked at the state of the two parties at this moment, one could not tell that they had just shown a posture of being at odds like fire and water, yet now they could sit side by side on the same bench.

At this moment, Dafuni seemed to no longer be the Illuminati Wise One who had been plotting to destroy the world, but had turned into a prophet exchanging insights with a close friend.

The world also seemed to have undergone some subtle changes at this moment, which Xia Duo did not notice. He followed his previous thoughts and showed Dafuni the future of the Main Plane he had envisioned—

"The imperfection of the old world you mentioned, if I understood correctly, should refer to the lack of fairness and justice. Let's talk about fairness first; the Main Plane is indeed unfair now. The strong wantonly infringe upon the weak, while the weak are powerless to resist."

"The new world you want to create intends to achieve fairness in terms of race and even talent by transforming all intelligent species into Demon Descendants, but is this really fairness?"

"Taking the oppressed Wood Elf of the Main Plane as an example, the talent within the Wood Elf group should be relatively balanced, so has complete justice and equality been achieved within the Wood Elf?"

"Obviously not! Therefore, attempting to achieve fairness by unifying races is not realistic, because it does not touch the underlying reasons behind fairness."

"It is not the differences in race or talent that have created the current inequality. Although there are indeed reasons for this, as far as I can see, the gap in talent between Wood Elf and Gold Elf is far from being as large as the gap in their current social status!"

Because the Wise One Xia Duo had learned about before was a Wood Elf, he directly used the Wood Elf as an example. Because they were close, and because most of the starlight had just been dispersed, Xia Duo could actually see the expression on Dafuni's face from the corner of his eye.

It was not as completely heartless as he had just thought. Actually, that was true too; if the Wise One were truly a heartless Elf, then with the power she currently possessed, she could live very well in this world where the strong prey on the weak.

Why would she bother to do thankless work and want to create some new world?

As long as one is conscious, any behavior has a motive. If creating a new world were just a cover for destroying the world from the beginning, then it is highly unlikely that the Illuminati could have developed to its current stage.

With so many high-level Mages and prophets involved, if it were brainwashing, then there should at least be some real things; it is more like temptation, rather than forcibly pressing people's heads to make them believe.

Therefore, rather than believing that all those high-level Mages, prophets, and other Spellcasters who were dragged into the water by the Illuminati were all fools who were brainwashed and did not resist, Xia Duo would rather believe that the leader of the Illuminati is an idealist.

Only pure ideals have such great magic to win over so many Spellcasters who have already obtained power, wealth, and status.

Interests will be betrayed by greater interests, and power will be subdued by stronger power.

Only ideals can make people participate regardless of cost or gain when they are clear-headed.

And as for ideals, in a world like the Main Plane where the strong prey on the weak, the weak are not qualified to talk about ideals. Therefore, those Demon Descendants created and controlled by the Illuminati, as well as more unaware low-to-mid-level Spellcasters, are actually completely treated as expendable materials.
