Chapter 3436: New Vision

This information originated from the latter two meetings between Dali and Dafuni; Dali observed Dafuni just as he had in previous meetings, which also included some indirect Perception.

Dali discovered that Dafuni was tainted with some special radiance radiation; at the time, he only assumed that Dafuni had just passed through a battle, and that those radiance radiations were traces left behind by the impact of Element Turbulence triggered during the fight.

But when Xia Duo re-examined this Perception information, he immediately distinguished that it was not radiance radiation produced by the impact of Element Turbulence, but radiation that clearly carried the characteristics of the Underdark!

Dali might have heard of the existence of the Underdark, but he had never been to the Underdark himself; even if he knew that radiation existed there, it would have been impossible for him to recognize it the first time he saw Underdark radiation.

This was something completely beyond his cognition, just as a person cannot imagine things outside their cognition; no matter how indescribably it is described, it is always an attempt to attach it to known elements.

As for Xia Duo, not only had he personally incarnated as a Drow in the Projection Plane to come into contact with the radiation environment of the Underdark, but he had also seen the radiation traces left by Drow in the Main Plane with his own eyes, which could be matched with the Projection Plane.

The characteristics of this environment itself do not change because it is a Projection Plane or the Reality Plane.

And now, he saw the familiar Underdark radiation characteristics again in Dali's memory, and it was appearing on Dafuni, the leader of the Illuminati, which immediately led him to a speculation, that is—

The core ritual of the Illuminati is in the Underdark, or at least the Illuminati is hiding secrets in the Underdark.

Xia Duo continued to search Dali's memory, checking the scenes of his previous meetings with Dafuni, confirming that Dafuni was not tainted with Underdark radiation during those meetings.

From this, Xia Duo also thought of himself; when he confronted Dafuni at Tanzan Peak earlier, did the other party also carry Underdark radiation?

So he immediately traced his own memory, and the conclusion was no; and even earlier, when he saw the other party at Taiweimansa, the other party also did not have Underdark radiation.

It seemed to have only appeared during the last two meetings with Dali.

Not long ago, an Abyssal Land Embryo was suddenly discovered in the Underdark; this discovery came abruptly, although theoretically it should be considered a kind of inevitability, after all, so many demons were left uncleaned after the Drow War.

But the timing of its appearance was very sensitive, making one have to suspect that it was the work of the Illuminati. For this reason, Xia Duo even specifically went to the Kingdom of Radiance to invite a Divine Envoy to help handle it, just because he was worried that the Illuminati would stir up more trouble.

If subverting the Time Line is just a domestic affair within the Plane, then introducing the Abyss can be considered "biting the hand that feeds." The Illuminati had already decided to subvert the Time Line, so they certainly wouldn't care about this, but Xia Duo had to care.

And judging from the fact that the Divine Envoy can perform Time Anchoring on the past, demons can likely also perform Time Anchoring on the past; that is to say, once the Abyss invades, even if the Time Line is changed, it is impossible to make the Abyss that has already arrived leave.

The Illuminati might not have known about this characteristic at that time, which is why they created the Abyssal Land Embryo to contain the Alliance's forces. Of course, it is also possible that the Abyssal Land Embryo discovered recently was not actively created by the Illuminati, but was merely discovered by them first; they just kept it hidden until recently, when they were about to have a decisive battle with the Alliance, and only then did they release this trump card.

But in any case, it is almost certain that Dafuni, or rather the Illuminati, has a connection with the Underdark, and it is perfectly reasonable for Dafuni to be tainted with Underdark radiation.

It is just that, under the current circumstances where the Alliance has searched Ailan inside and out without finding the location of the Illuminati's core ritual, Xia Duo has to turn his suspicious gaze back to the Underdark.

Finding the location of the Illuminati's core ritual in time is one of the few comeback opportunities for the Northland Alliance; not only Xia Duo, but the Alliance side is also constantly searching.

The only thing that can be determined at present is that the core ritual location cannot be too far from Ailan, otherwise it is within a certain range centered on Ailan.

As for how large this range is, no one can predict for the time being.

What the Alliance can do is to search continuously with Ailan as the center, and search inch by inch, but until now there has been no progress there, and instead, a large amount of manpower and material resources have been tied up because of it.

The Alliance has vast resources, but when facing an enemy that is accustomed to hiding and seems not to exist from the surface, it feels somewhat helpless.

And now, the Underdark radiation on Dafuni that Xia Duo saw in Dali's memory can barely be considered a new breakthrough, which is the Underdark beneath Ailan.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent a Sending to Tili'ao and other representatives of the Alliance countries, informing them of the latest clues he discovered in Beilunuo, and then put forward a suggestion to them—

"Immediately transfer the people in the Ailan region to other places; if necessary, we might be able to destroy that area directly."

"Forgot to tell Consultant Xia Duo, the transfer work for the people in the Ailan region started at noon; it's just that the transfer of millions of people cannot be completed immediately, we need time."

Answering Xia Duo was the Yierlan representative, Osmanthus, because they were the ones most severely harmed by the Illuminati, and the Yierlan side's attitude toward how to deal with the Illuminati was also the most radical.

Not to mention domestically, even toward the Seer families, they used tougher measures compared to other countries; and abroad, especially toward Ailan, the eye of the storm for all events, the Yierlan side's current attitude is very direct—

If it can be destroyed directly, try not to consider other methods; they want to completely cut off all thoughts of the Illuminati.

In fact, if Xia Duo had known earlier that the Yierlan side had such an attitude, he would have long shared all the intelligence about the Illuminati with the Alliance, especially about the special significance of Ailan to the Illuminati.

Of course, in the past, he did not have any clear evidence to accuse anyone or anything; if he had rashly synchronized this unverified information, it would most likely have been countered by the Illuminati, which had already infiltrated various countries deeply.

It was not until he caught Kalano of the Moonshadow Family that he obtained conclusive evidence, and he did indeed synchronize the relevant information with the Alliance only after catching Kalano.

It's just that his catching of Kalano was only a recent matter; it was too late, truly too late.

As for now, the Yierlan side has already started to transfer the people in the Ailan region, which is good, but the problem is whether they can transfer everyone or at least the majority before the Illuminati's ritual, which is really hard to say.

But what must be done still needs to be done; the Yierlan side has already transferred in advance, and Xia Duo can only urge them to speed up the progress now, while he himself decided to go to Ailan in person to conduct further on-site exploration.

If there is an Underdark passage in Ailan, it will certainly not be without traces; if it can be found, it might be the key breakthrough.
