Chapter 3474: Kalishi Reappears

————It will be later~~

This is somewhat similar to how humans, as long as they develop normally, can naturally learn to walk on two legs when 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 robots; 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 Time Lines; it is highly probable that it could also yield other research value.

"What a pity that it cannot be used by me!"

Xia Duo covets Dafuni's ability to generate Time Force, but unfortunately, the two sides have long been 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.

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 some things that transcend gains and losses that make them care immensely.

Dafuni is undoubtedly such an Elf.

On this point, Xia Duo even feels a bit envious of Dafuni, because although he appears to be very principled and idealistic, 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. 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 home culture has had on him.

……

After understanding what kind of Elf Dafuni is, Xia Duo abandoned the idea of persuading her to surrender and instead focused wholeheartedly on 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, and in the end, it must still come down to physical elimination.

……

Having made the key item, the Time Flow Regulator, 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.

But the moment he thinks about how he has yet to receive a reply from Yierlan, his mood becomes unpleasant again. Right now, he is about to reach the time node for summoning the Divine Envoy.

Because in the already anchored Divine Envoy summoning event, 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 at least until he goes to Taiweimansa to potentially receive it.

If that is the case, then the time he obtains the Time Force will inevitably be later than it would be if he received it now, which will in turn affect a series of subsequent plans.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo cannot help but feel a bit anxious. This has been a common state of mind for him since the decisive battle with the Illuminati began; time is sometimes very pressing and sometimes very prioritized—it is truly tormenting.

Time passes bit by bit. Approaching 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 Taiweimansa, the capital of Yierlan.

In an instant, he understands what just happened. Previously, when he was in Yongle City, he wanted to push the time for summoning the Divine Envoy back a little, but he 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. Although the decisive battle with the Illuminati has not yet 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. 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 gone through before. At this moment, his appearance on the streets of Taiweimansa also means that he is not repeating this history, but rather that multiple Time Lines have converged at this point in history, becoming the only possibility.

This is also something Xia Duo is completely unable to control now, which is why he cares so much about the response time from Yierlan.

It is just a pity that they ultimately failed to 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, he would have a chance to meet Dafuni and could even collect Time Force through the Time Flow Regulator he just finished making not long ago.

The other choice is to immediately head to Beilunuo. Regardless of which channel he takes, or simply sneaking in, there is only one goal: find the Sea Elf Dali and then seize the Time Gem.

By comparison, the former choice cannot guarantee that he will definitely be able to collect Time Force; after all, the function of the Time Flow Regulator in this regard has not yet 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 the Time Force to an even earlier stage.

It could even be said that if he had possessed Time Force when he first transmigrated, then there would be no such thing as the Illuminati now.

But unfortunately, the furthest past he can reach by reshaping the Time Line is the moment he prophesied the course of the war. This is determined by the present he anchored when he performed the prophecy, and it is also the 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 premise 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, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes, the Alliance 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 mutual 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.

Right now, if the Illuminati had not already seized the initiative, the Alliance might have already started anchoring the past.

Reshaping the Time Line does not necessarily bring benefits, while anchoring the past can 100% avoid the situation of things happening faster. Any decision-maker with normal thinking would not find it difficult to make a choice.
