Chapter 3473: The Enraged Zhalanmonai

This is somewhat similar to how humans, provided they develop normally, can naturally learn to walk on two legs once they grow up, but robots built by humans require all sorts of harsh conditions to walk on two legs.
However, the internal mechanisms of the human body are actually far more complex than those of a robot; it is just that, being human, one can use them easily and it is difficult to perceive them.
If Dafuni truly possesses bloodline abilities related to the Time Domain, then the value of this bloodline would extend far beyond generating Time Force or controlling the Time Line; it would very likely also possess other research value.
"What a pity it cannot be used by me!"
Xia Duo covets Dafuni's ability to generate Time Force, but it is a pity that the two sides are already enemies; even if he told Dafuni now that he would spare her, she could not possibly agree. In fact, does Dafuni even need him to spare her?
He is very clear that as long as Dafuni is willing to let go of the idea of reshaping the Time Line, she could live quite comfortably, and it is unlikely that the Alliance would go to such great lengths to hunt down a prophet capable of reshaping the Time Line.
Several years later, Dafuni could even wash her reputation clean and become a high-ranking member of the Alliance.
It is just that how could everything in this world be measured solely by gains and losses? For many people, there are always things that transcend gains and losses that make them care immensely.
Dafuni is undoubtedly such an Elf.
On this point, Xia Duo even envies Dafuni a little, because although he appears to have principles and ideals, he knows himself; he is not an idealist, but rather someone who makes choices that better align with his interests from a suitable perspective.
Of course, to say he is a pure egoist would certainly be incorrect; he has not reached that point yet. He still has ideals and pursuits, and he has not reached the point of disregarding everything for his ideals.
Let's call it moderate!
This is also the greatest influence his hometown culture has had on him.
……
After understanding what kind of Elf Dafuni is, Xia Duo abandoned the idea of persuading her to surrender and turned to wholeheartedly eliminating her, but this is indeed a very difficult task.
No one knows what kind of things Dafuni can do using Time Force, so he must find a way to block all of Dafuni's paths to survival as much as possible.
From this perspective, the so-called war on the Time Line is merely a means to consume Dafuni's Time Force; ultimately, it still comes down to physical elimination.
……
Having made the Time Flow Regulator, a key item, Xia Duo is in a great mood, and the thought he originally had of resting for a while has been cast to the back of his mind.
It is just that as soon as he thinks about how Yierlan has not yet given him a reply, his mood becomes unpleasant again; the time node for him to summon the Divine Envoy is almost here.
Because in the already anchored event of summoning the Divine Envoy, he had not received any news from Yierlan regarding Beilunuo, which means that if he does not receive it before summoning the Divine Envoy, he will have to wait until at least after he goes to Taiweimansa to possibly receive it.
If that is the case, then the time he obtains Time Force will inevitably be later than if he received it now, which will in turn affect a series of subsequent plans.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo cannot help but feel somewhat anxious; this can also be considered a common state of mind for him since the start of the decisive battle with the Illuminati. Time is sometimes very pressing, and sometimes very prioritized; it is truly tormenting.
Time passes bit by bit, and as it nears noon, Xia Duo suddenly has a thought to simply delay the summoning of the Divine Envoy, but the next moment, he appears on the streets of the Yierlan Shoudu, Taiweimansa.
In an instant, he understands what just happened. Previously, when he was in Yongle City, he wanted to drag the time for summoning the Divine Envoy a little later, but soon changed his mind, feeling that not summoning it at noon would seem disrespectful.
As for moving it to the next day, that would not be appropriate either. At present, although the decisive battle with the Illuminati has not fully erupted, the fighting has long since begun. When facing the Illuminati, who can reshape the Time Line, wasting even a little bit of time is shameful.
Therefore, Xia Duo summoned the Divine Envoy that very day and had an in-depth exchange with the two Divine Envoys in Yongle City, and then Divine Envoy Taide took his subordinates to the Underdark to deal with the Abyssal Land Embryo, while Divine Envoy Richi followed him to Taiweimansa to help track the Moonshadow Family (who had once signed a Sacred Contract with Xia Duo).
This experience is one Xia Duo has lived through before; at this moment, he appears on the streets of Taiweimansa, which also means he did not repeat this history, but rather multiple Time Lines converged on this history, becoming the only possibility.
This is also something Xia Duo cannot control at all now, which is why he cares so much about the reply time from Yierlan.
It is just a pity that they ultimately could not give him a reply before noon, and now he faces two choices—
One is to go to the Linna Nie'esi Chengqu of Taiweimansa, as in the previous Time Line, to capture the Moonshadow Family. In this way, there is a chance to meet Dafuni, and he could even collect Time Force through the Time Flow Regulator he just finished making not long ago.
The other choice is to immediately go to Beilunuo; regardless of which channel he takes, or simply sneaking in quietly, there is only one goal: find the Sea Elf Dali, and then seize the Time Gem.
By comparison, the former choice cannot guarantee that Time Force can be collected; after all, the function of the Time Flow Regulator in this regard has not been verified.
But the latter is very secure; after all, in other Time Lines, he has done similar things more than once, and apart from the Time Force being less, there were no other accidents.
The reason he is so anxious to obtain a stable source of Time Force is that Xia Duo wants to anchor the time node at which he obtains Time Force to an earlier stage as much as possible.
It can even be said that if he had possessed Time Force when he first transmigrated, then the Illuminati would not be an issue now.
But it is a pity that the furthest past he can reach by reshaping the Time Line now is the moment he prophesied the course of the war; this is determined by the present world he anchored when he performed the prophecy, and it is also an auxiliary measure later used to reshape the Time Line.
Perhaps when he learns the way Dafuni manipulates the Time Line, he will be able to change a more distant past, but this is also unrealistic. The prerequisite for him to learn Dafuni's way is that the war ends, and the Alliance side achieves a great victory with rich spoils.
But if that happens, the Alliance, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, will inevitably anchor the past of the entire Main Plane, and Xia Duo also raises both hands in favor of this operation.
As for the various countries of the Alliance wanting to obtain benefits that did not originally belong to them by changing the past, it is not easy to achieve under the checks and balances of all parties; in fact, it is just that anchoring the past is too easy, while reshaping the Time Line has harsh conditions.
Reshaping the Time Line does not necessarily bring benefits, while anchoring the past can one hundred percent avoid the situation of things happening faster; any decision-maker with a normal mind would not find it difficult to make a choice.
