Chapter 3386: Two Schemes for Purifying Bloodlines

————It will be later~

————Filling in up to 3386 earlier

Realizing this, the look in Xia Duo's eyes when he looked at Dafuni no longer held much worry, because he knew the other party could no longer trap him; it was not because the existence of the Divine Envoy could help him with Time Anchoring the past.

Rather, through this series of probes, he discovered a fatal flaw in the other party's time-related Magic: it could not act on different events simultaneously.

Although the same event might contain very complex personnel connections, or even implicate an entire Plane, these people were all on the same manipulated Time Line, rather than multiple completely different Time Lines.

This meant that as long as the Illuminati used this means of manipulating the Time Line on him, there was no need to worry about others being controlled.

And most crucially, this method merely created a virtual Time Line parallel to the present world; as long as it did not overwrite the present world, it could never exceed the time Node of the present world.

Simply put, although Xia Duo now appeared to be trapped in a Time Loop, the time outside the loop could be considered stopped, and the time he perceived himself was the time of the Main Plane's present world.

If the Illuminati were willing to keep him trapped here indefinitely, it would actually be equivalent to the Illuminati's own plans being unable to advance at all.

Therefore, Xia Duo speculated that the other party's purpose in using this method on him was likely to kill him, a key figure of the Alliance, but they had not expected him to be able to retain his consciousness (or rather, maintain the continuity of his consciousness) within the Time Loop, and even find a countermeasure.

If the other party could do it, it was actually equivalent to having a very deep understanding of the ritual's details.

And on Xia Shao's side, the Time Reversal of one or two seconds at a time did indeed cause me considerable trouble; I had tried several times, and the two Divine Envoys could not send me a Sending within one or two seconds.

Was that even more frustrating than Xia Shao?

Just wear it out, let's see who can outlast whom!

Reversing time by one or two seconds versus reversing it by one minute, the effects that could be exerted were completely different.

That was something Xia Shao wouldn't have dared to imagine before: letting the enemy serve oneself.

"What exactly did you do?"

Especially since I was used to the assistance of the Computing Power Pool and the brain-computer in the past, now it felt like it had suddenly turned into a snail's pace, but two full days were enough to exclude a considerable portion of useless data.

Although high-frequency Time Reversal felt very unpleasant, everything is afraid of comparison; compared to Xia Shao, besides having to endure such an experience, Dafuni also needed to pay the extra price of manipulating the Time Line.

No matter how much time is experienced in a Time Loop, for the present world, it is always just that one or two seconds of the loop.

And it had only been a mere two days, who are you looking down on!

Since the loop was only one to two seconds, Xia Shao simply gave up on everything else his avatar and main body were doing—in fact, he couldn't do anything anyway—and while maintaining the avatar's basic vigilance, he focused on analyzing the data collected from the Tear Drop Lake operation earlier.

It's just a pity that Dafuni is not a human Mage from a movie, and Xia Shao is even less of a Dormammu.

By this moment, the initiative for this event alone was no longer on the Illuminati's side, because being able to retain consciousness, Xia Shao even hoped the other party would loop a few more times to buy him time to study the ritual details collected from Tear Drop Lake earlier.

From the other party starting the one or two-second Time Loop without a word, to now becoming willing to speak the initiative, how could Xia Shao not understand that the other party was already at their wit's end!

In other words, Dafuni was currently personally burying the plan she insisted on; the longer the loop, the better the burial effect.

……

"You must hold on! Hold on for a few more years, and I will be able to fully parse the ritual from Tear Drop Lake earlier!"

And if the other party stopped looping, then Xia Shao would unceremoniously use the Divine Envoy's characteristics to anchor those local battlefields where the Alliance had already achieved victory, thereby steadily guaranteeing the win rate.

This was a very massive project; Xia Shao had already prepared to fight continuously for several years, but he hadn't expected Dafuni to be at her wit's end after only two days.

Thus, she could only constantly repeat the previous operation, but the interval of "reversing" time was much shorter, almost needing to reverse once every one or two seconds.

Between releasing and not releasing, Dafuni felt incomparably conflicted.

Right now, although Xia Shao was somewhat troubled—after all, having to return to the past every one or two seconds would make anyone feel unpleasant—fortunately, his consciousness could still maintain continuity during this process; now was the time to compete with Dafuni in willpower.

Of course, for Xia Shao, the shorter the past the other party could change, the better, while for the other party, the further back the past they could change, the better.

Although it was uncertain how many details about time-related Magic Xia Shao could learn during this process, Dafuni was more worried about the risk of a total collapse brought about by Xia Shao breaking free.

……

At the same time, the Illuminati's plan would also fall into stagnation during this process, not to mention the price she paid for it.

Just as Xia Shao thought, Dafuni was indeed in a dilemma now; if she continued to create new Time Lines, it would only allow Xia Shao, who could retain consciousness during the birth and destruction of Time Lines, to collect more information.

The data collected through Alliance Mages and the Psionic Detector at the time was all Magic Net data that could be collected at the center of the ritual, and not just ritual-related data; collecting only ritual-related data was impossible under the circumstances of a Magic Net riot.

And she also needed to find a way to truly solve the other party during such constant "looping."

Even if she could reshape a new history from the moment the Illuminati was born, there wouldn't be these troublesome matters now.

Whoever couldn't hold on first would lose.

Once the Divine Envoy's Sending could not be received, the two sides could not form a connection sufficient to anchor the past; in this way, although he could retain consciousness during Time Reversal, it was very difficult to organize effective research, let alone push the other party's reversal Node backward (the direction of the future at this moment).

And because consciousness could remain continuous, although Xia Shao could not use tools outside of his consciousness, his consciousness itself could also carry out organizational, analytical, and research work outside of actual practice.

Xia Shao needed to compare the Magic Net riot trends before and after the ritual went out of control during the Tear Drop Lake operation to exclude the Magic Net background parameters as much as possible, leaving only the details related to the ritual.

But reshaping history, or reshaping the Time Line, was not a simple matter, and it was certainly not without cost.

……

Two days passed; because he could not borrow the brain-computer or the Computing Power Pool (because these two types of assistance could not maintain continuity in a Time Loop), his own processing speed was actually a bit slow.

But if he just let Xia Shao go like that, it was clear that Xia Shao had already found a means sufficient to counter the Time Line tactics; once Xia Shao was allowed to break free, it would very likely lead to the collapse of the entire plan again.

Finally, two days later in Xia Shao's perceived time, Dafuni finally couldn't hold on anymore; she didn't immediately stop the manipulation of the Time Line, but every time the loop started, she would ask Xia Shao one sentence:
