Chapter 3383: Overcoming Difficulties Together, Reporting News

Xia Duo's uncharacteristic counterattack immediately aroused Dafuni's suspicion. The next moment, before Xia Duo could devise any further plans, time reversed once again.

But compared to the two times Xia Duo had perceived previously, an accident finally occurred this time.

It was no longer returning to the moment he "drilled" out of the miniature Elemental Channel, but returning to the moment he received the replies from the two Divine Envoys, Taide and Richi!

At this moment, it was as if a jolt of electricity had passed through Xia Duo's mind, and he instantly realized—Dafuni was, after all, unable to defeat the Lord of Radiance!

If the time reversal went beyond the time node when he received the two Divine Envoys, it would mean that the past of the two Divine Envoys had also been changed, and changing the past of the Divine Envoys meant changing the Lord of Radiance, who shared the same essence as the Divine Envoys.

This was clearly impossible.

If the Darkness Society could change the past of the Lord of Radiance, they would not have set their sights only on this small area of the Main Plane, but would have long since looked toward the entire Material Plane, or marched into the Astral Plane and the Outer Planes to become the absolute masters.

Clearly, the Darkness Society did not possess such great power.

Without the existence of the Divine Envoys, the situation would be the same; although the Alliance was still in a state of overall superiority, it would not be to the point of having no room to fight back.

In fact, the Darkness Society certainly could not use total victory as the condition for completing the ultimate ritual; it was very likely that as long as the Darkness Society won a certain proportion, it would be enough to support the completion of the ultimate ritual.

Once defeated, the Alliance did not possess any technology to change the Time Line, so that unfavorable situation would inevitably become an established reality.

As for what followed, Dafuni did not continue speaking, perhaps not wanting Xia Duo to learn more about time-involving Magic and the secrets of the Darkness Society, so time reversed once again.

He mimicked what Dafuni had said in response to his probing in the previous loop and replied: "You guess?"

The next moment, Dafuni's expression became visibly extremely plain; shock, confusion, malice, and determination—almost every emotion Xia Duo could imagine was displayed on Dafuni's face.

But compared to before, it was already considered falling into a disadvantage.

At that moment, he seemed to see a transcendent existence named the Darkness Society weaving a web of fate that was difficult to escape for all living beings on the Main Plane, and ultimately, fate pointed to one result, which was—

It was also a bug that was hard to ignore under the coordination of the Time Line!

First, it could be certain that this was already the opponent's last stand; missing this opportunity, there would never be another possibility for Ailan to be reborn.

But Xia Duo also realized the significant meaning of the Divine Envoys for the upcoming decisive battle, so he certainly could not reveal such important information to the enemy.

And now, the final decisive battle had already begun, and even Xia Duo could not avoid being affected by it, only because his own special nature allowed him to perceive the process of the Time Line being changed.

……

The most obvious point was that now it was not just the Darkness Society that could anchor the past; with the power of the Divine Envoys, the Alliance could do the same, and perhaps even more thoroughly and effectively than the Darkness Society.

That was clearly also impossible, because Xia Duo had already established a connection with the Divine Envoys, and most importantly, both Divine Envoys had already sent messages to Xia Duo; those two messages were the closest connection between the two sides!

But as long as one thought about it a little more deeply, one would discover the terrifying nature of this plan; it meant that the Alliance had to achieve victory in every conflict, and under the condition that the opponent changed the past, they still had to continue winning.

The Darkness Society had countless opportunities to try, while the Alliance had to succeed every time; the "every time" here was not just succeeding in the same conflict, but that all conflicts had to be won.

Because while realizing the role of the Divine Envoys, he also figured out the true decisive battle plan of the Darkness Society.

Although Xia Duo did not know the specific cost of changing the Time Line, judging from the Time-Involving Ritual obtained in Meite'er earlier, the cost was truly not small.

"What exactly did you do? To actually—"

But regarding the final battle plan of the Darkness Society, he had already gained insight—

Fortunately, he discovered the role of the Divine Envoys in time; at this moment, he was even a bit glad that the Underdark had discovered the Abyssal Land Embryo, which was why he went to ask the Divine Envoys to come and help, and only then could he accidentally discover the role of the Divine Envoys.

The scene happening before her eyes made Dafuni realize that the situation might have already exceeded her control; at this moment, she was impatient to figure out what had just happened.

This would inevitably lead reality toward a single result, which was—

At this time, even if he disregarded any consequences and recklessly destroyed the entire Ailan region, it would likely be of no avail to the overall situation, and might even cause him to lose the trust of the Alliance and the foundation for influencing the Alliance's decision-making.

Since Dafuni could change Xia Duo's past at Tanzan Peak, then the Darkness Society could change the past at any other battlefield where they had conflicts with the Alliance.

It was equivalent to the two Divine Envoys using their own essence, which was connected to the Lord of Radiance, to anchor the past for Xia Duo, which also reminded Xia Duo of the clash he had with Dafuni in Taiweimansa not long ago.

Xia Duo almost dared not imagine that if there were no Divine Envoys, although it would not be absolutely without a chance of winning, it would at least let the Darkness Society occupy the absolute upper hand.

Of course, this also had a prerequisite, which was that one must be able to win on the local battlefield; if one could not win, then even if the reality that could not be changed was anchored, it was still a defeat, and defeat was meaningless to the Alliance.

Looking only at this point, it seemed to be nothing important.

The opponent clearly also used Time-Involving Magic, but perhaps because the preparation was insufficient, that Time-Involving Magic could not change Xia Duo's past, and instead was influenced by Xia Duo.

"What did you just do?" Dafuni, who had not taken the initiative to speak since arriving at Tanzan Peak, finally could not help but take the initiative to probe Xia Duo this time.

Knowing this, Xia Duo did not feel a shred of joy from having insight into the enemy's plan; instead, he felt an even deeper pressure, like a mountain or a sea, which almost made him unable to breathe.

But those were all situations without the existence of the Divine Envoys.

Ailan reborn!

More importantly, Xia Duo realized that the timing of this point was already a bit late; he himself had already fallen into the battlefield of the time loop, and the Alliance was likely even more so.

If not for the Abyssal Land Embryo that Danzo discovered in the Underdark earlier, what would the situation be like now?

What's more, compared to before, the Darkness Society's last stand now was clearly more extreme.

This time, Xia Duo's consciousness was still clear, and as he expected, the limit that Dafuni could reach by reversing time was the moment he received the replies from the two Divine Envoys.

As for Tanzan Peak, it was not worth mentioning for now, because Dafuni was there in person and there was the relationship with the Moonshadow Family, so Xia Duo could not figure out the opponent's purpose for a while.

The Darkness Society wins completely, and the Alliance loses completely.

Secondly, the opponent must also understand this point, which is why they chose to stake everything on one throw.

And such a power that could have a nearly decisive influence on the final battle, besides Xia Duo himself attaching great importance to it, how could Dafuni, that leader of the Darkness Society, not care at all?

Since the past of the Divine Envoys could be changed, could one bypass the Divine Envoys and only change Xia Duo's past?

Doing so would only make the defeat of the Alliance side more rapid.
