Chapter 3460: Declining

————It will be later~~

"History has truly changed!" Xia Duo could not help but exclaim!

Originally, that battle could not be called a total defeat for the Alliance, and they did indeed obtain many details of the Illuminati's Time-Involving Ritual, but after all, it allowed the Illuminati to complete a certain degree of progress on the ritual, so it could not be called a victory at all.

However, in the new Time Line, because he already knew the many details of the Illuminati's Time-Involving Ritual in advance, he did not need to use the lives of Alliance Mages to probe it.

Added to this was the fact that he had already obtained authorization in all aspects in another Time Line, and this authorization had been anchored by him with the help of the Divine Envoy's power.

That is to say, even in the new Time Line, the event of him obtaining authorization would still occur and could not be changed.

Xia Duo was not sure how this anchoring would manifest in the new Time Line. If he did not take the initiative to ask for the relevant authorization, would the various countries provide it voluntarily? Or if he deliberately refused the authorization, would some force majeure appear to require him to accept it?

For a moment, he wanted to challenge this so-called "destiny," but upon careful thought, what kind of destiny was this? After all, the authorization was something he wanted in the first place; if he did not want it, none of the previous events would have happened at all.

Then there would be even less chance of the authorization occurring and being anchored by him. It is difficult for a person to negate themselves, let alone at such a critical juncture; he would not deliberately ruin a favorable situation just to satisfy his own curiosity.

Even if the curiosity here related to propositions such as how the anchoring of the Time Line takes effect, or even whether individual free will exists, it made Xia Duo far too curious.

But curiosity is curiosity; when it was time to do serious work, he would not slack off. Furthermore, these questions could be left for later to be verified one by one, and there was no need to dwell on them at this moment.

In reality, Xia Duo also felt some trepidation in his heart. This was the biological instinct of fear of the unknown. He did not deny such fear, because in the future, he would inevitably have to face the fear to gain insight into the truth of time.

……

In the new Time Line, the Battle of Tear Drop Lake was merely an inconspicuous little battlefield. Because most of the details of the Illuminati conducting the ritual there were known in advance, they could act without any scruples.

Under Xia Duo's command, a group of Alliance Mages successfully destroyed the ritual's progress. Reaching this step could already be considered a strategic victory, but Xia Duo wanted more.

It was that high-level Mage at Tear Drop Lake.

In the previous Time Line, in order to prevent the Alliance Mages from obtaining the secrets of the ritual, that high-level Mage ultimately chose to perish together with the ritual, but Xia Duo was more skilled and still collected enough information.

But that high-level Mage himself was wasted, and in the new Time Line, Xia Duo prepared in advance

But just now, Xia Duo replaced the Time Line where the Alliance lost, which he had previously experienced, with one where the Alliance won, and because he could maintain consciousness continuity during the birth and death of Time Lines, it was effectively equivalent to him

Because his consciousness could remain continuous during the process of the birth and death of Time Lines, it appeared now as if a segment of memory had suddenly been added, but in fact, that memory was one he had personally experienced.

During the last time he entered the Astral Plane to fight a decisive battle against the Illuminati at the Time Line level, he successfully reversed time to three days ago, which was the time of the Battle of Tear Drop Lake.

But because the time was too short, only two or three days, he was only enough to change the outcome of the Battle of Tear Drop Lake, or rather, he merely selected this Time Line where the Alliance won the Battle of Tear Drop Lake.

Or rather, he knew how to achieve a total victory in the Battle of Tear Drop Lake. In this Time Line, the Battle of Tear Drop Lake still became a fixed certainty.

But for other events, except for those few that had been anchored, the rest still contained variables. This was not only the uncertainty of the war itself, but also the influence of the Illuminati's Time-Involving Ritual.

Xia Duo could try his best to change things within the scope of his own abilities, but to say he could achieve something one hundred percent, he indeed did not have that much certainty.

But because his true body, including his Soul and consciousness, was still in the Main Plane, even if he could maintain consciousness continuity during the birth and death of Time Lines, he would still be affected, just like the countless Time Loops he had experienced when fighting Dafuni at Tanzan Peak before.

Thus, in an instant, he obtained all the memories of the past he had just changed. What he had just changed with the help of the Time Force was the Battle of Tear Drop Lake, which fired the first shot of the decisive battle between the Alliance and the Illuminati.

But before the actual operation, he was not clear about the specific details of the Alliance's victory, but after the operation was finished, he immediately obtained all the details of that battle.

After all, that battle was commanded by him, and because he could maintain consciousness continuity during the birth and death of Time Lines, this also meant that when re-fighting the Battle of Tear Drop Lake, he still retained all the memories of the other Time Line's defeat and even what happened later.

Or it could also be considered that Xia Duo's consciousness, after projecting into the Astral Plane to change the Time Line, immediately returned to the past of the Main Plane, to the moment of the Battle of Tear Drop Lake, and then continued to change the future.

Of course, because history has inertia, even if one knows the direction of the future, it is not necessarily possible to change the future.

Comparing with his previous memories, Xia Duo only added
