Chapter 3477: First Experience with Psionic Energy

————Currently rushing~~

————

In previous time lines, Tailun, Saiputalisi, and even the Executive Consultants of Ilfaren were trustworthy; could it be that just because the time is slightly earlier, they are no longer trustworthy?

Such a possibility exists, but Xia Duo is more inclined to believe—

It is that Dafuni sensed danger from the changes in the time line; after all, the reason he was able to reshape the time line was due to inspiration gained from the Illuminati, and even the absolute key consumable he relied on to reshape the time line came from Dafuni.

Under these circumstances, for Xia Duo to say the Illuminati had no reaction to this would be too arrogant and lacking in self-awareness, and right now, the Illuminati suddenly declaring a state of decisive battle on such a large scale is, nine times out of ten, Dafuni's countermeasure to the time line changes.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo immediately replied to the Alliance Headquarters that he would return soon, his footsteps still following Tailun toward the Sun Courtyard; if he had previously worried that Ilfaren might quibble with him, the situation now almost matched the state of the previous time line, only the time was slightly earlier, and Ilfaren would surely have some reaction as well.

……

The subsequent meeting process was, if not exactly the same as the time lines Xia Duo had experienced several times before, at least not much different, with Mikaier still explaining the history of Beilunuo and its origins with Ilfaren to Xia Duo.

Among which, Xinnaliya was inevitably mentioned, as well as Xinnaliya's desire to join the Alliance.

Xia Duo naturally had no objections to this, and even expressed his welcome: "Beyond its own development, the growth of the Alliance also requires an influx of new blood. As an Alliance Consultant, I welcome any nation that holds goodwill toward the Alliance to join."

Then he changed the subject, mentioning the news he had just received, "Presumably, Ilfaren should have also received the latest news from the Alliance Headquarters; the Illuminati has already issued the signal for a decisive battle. Time waits for no one, and we must respond as quickly as possible."

Regarding Xia Duo's renewed reminder, Wazele, the Chief Executive of Ilfaren, exchanged glances with his colleagues and then stated: "Before Consultant Xia Duo arrived in Ilfaren, I had already discussed this matter with Xinnaliya Nüwang.

"She clearly stated that as long as the Alliance needs it, Xinnaliya is willing to provide help at any time. The Main Plane is the Main Plane of the people of the Main Plane, not a Main Plane to be ravaged by the Illuminati at will. Now with the latest news from the Alliance Headquarters, I believe this trip will only go more smoothly."

Saying this, Wazele looked at Tailun, who had come to the Sun Courtyard with Xia Duo, and instructed: "Next, you will take Consultant Xia Duo to Xinnaliya and Beilunuo."

"Yes," Tailun replied.

Afterwards, Xia Duo did not chat further with Wazele and the other high-ranking officials; after all, as he himself had just said, time waits for no one, and now he must seize every moment to settle all pre-war matters.

In the previous time line, the Illuminati exposed a large number of Time-Involving Signals simultaneously; although it was also sudden, it happened after Xia Duo and Dafuni had clashed, and after warnings had already been issued to the various nations of the Alliance.

Although still somewhat sudden, the Alliance was not completely unprepared.

But right now, Xia Duo had not yet had the chance to clash with Dafuni, and directly identifying Dafuni as the leader of the Illuminati was not realistic. It was not that no one would believe him, but that such an accusation, lacking basis and cause, would inevitably be exploited by the Illuminati, and if handled improperly, it could even lead to internal division within the Alliance.

Therefore, he still had to make a trip to Taiweimansa, preferably to capture the ironclad proof that was Kalano (Dafuni's nephew) of the Moonshadow Family. If he were even luckier and encountered Dafuni, he could also verify whether the Time Flow Regulator could collect Time Force from the other party.

Of course, this did not mean the Beilunuo line should be abandoned; the two sides could proceed simultaneously, but the efficiency of Ilfaren and Xinnaliya would ultimately not compare to Xia Duo acting alone, and it was highly probable that the Taiweimansa side would be faster.

……

After leaving the Sun Courtyard, Xia Duo still proceeded to Xinnaliya with Tailun as normal, but he left only the minimum consciousness required to perceive the outside world in this avatar, while transferring the majority of his consciousness to his true body in Yongle City.

Arriving on the streets of Taiweimansa again, Xia Duo felt a bit subtle, but at this moment he could not spare the time to dwell on such things. He immediately followed the original plan and headed toward the Linna Nie'ersi Chengqu, where an "old friend" was waiting for him!

……

Having experienced it multiple times across various time lines, Xia Duo was familiar with the path, and soon arrived at a hidden manor in the center of the Linna Nie'ersi Chengqu; this was the hiding place of the Moonshadow Family.

Unlike the first time he came here, when he spent quite some time seizing control of the Manor Barrier, now that he had arrived again, Xia Duo simply checked and confirmed the similarities and differences between the Jieti here and before.

Then, he applied his previous experience and easily took control of the Jieti within the manor.

Although he had anticipated it upon arrival, seeing the empty manor with almost only a few servants left, Xia Duo still inevitably felt a trace of disappointment.

The choice he faced now was whether to go directly to find Dafuni or head to Tanzan Peak. In the previous time line, the Moonshadow Family had relocated to a secret stronghold on Tanzan Peak; chasing them there now might still allow him to catch their tail.

Just as Xia Duo was hesitating about what choice to make, an unexpected Elf appeared—or rather, he had never thought he would see the other party so easily on such an occasion!

This Elf, whom Xia Duo thought would not be easy to see, was undoubtedly Dafuni!

At this moment, Dafuni was accompanied by Kalano, who should have evacuated with the members of the Moonshadow Family, which made Xia Duo feel a flash of joy while also giving rise to a trace of vigilance.

"Come out! No need to hide, I know you are here!" Dafuni's face was covered by a veil woven from starlight, and her voice sounded somewhat ethereal.

Dafuni's abrupt opening and the direction of her words startled Xia Duo. Also filled with doubt was Dafuni's nephew, Kalano, who scanned his surroundings with a vigilant gaze, asking while using Spellcasting to perform Scrying:

"Aunt, who are you talking to? Is it someone from the Alliance? Is that why you made me evacuate in such a hurry?"

At this moment, Xia Duo was in a state of Entrusting to Heaven and Earth, existing yet not existing; naturally, he could not be detected by the likes of Kalano, but Dafuni was not necessarily the same.

Perhaps direct Arcane means could not detect the Void, but from the perspective of prophecy, it was not difficult to determine that there were others present in this manor.

At the very least, Xia Duo could think of verification methods that he might not be able to perform himself, but which Dafuni would likely be able to do. So, should he leave? Or should he strike directly?

With almost no hesitation, Xia Duo decisively chose the latter.
