Chapter 878: Coordinate Disappearance, Mythallar Completion
Perhaps as an extension of the combat habits from just a moment ago, some people have already begun sharing their perception results within the link.
This is exactly what Xia Duo wants; he hurriedly checks those pieces of information, focusing on the subconscious portion, as only there can he find the unique thoughts of each sharer.
Unfortunately, while others might have also discovered slight anomalies, after Xia Duo cross-references and compares them, he ultimately finds no very clear points of suspicion.
Perhaps it could be attributed to intuition; Xia Duo does not deny the role of intuition, but intuition alone is far from enough right now.
So he attempts to use Spellcasting to judge the current changes in the Magic Net environment, but the result is not ideal; he can only say there might be changes, but he cannot discover them.
Of course, it is also possible that there really is no change.
But the problem is that the commotion just now was so great, and the changes suspected to be a Mythallar discovered during the previous battle all indicate that something definitely happened.
Perhaps it is the Mythallar!
——I know what the anomaly in the Magic Net just now is!
Such an active conscious message suddenly transmits through the Mind Link. As the leader of the Mind Link who can interpret subconscious information, Xia Duo does not need to ask anything; he immediately knows where the answer lies from the partial subconscious information mixed into this active conscious message!
He cannot spare the attention to deal with the noisy inquiries from others in the Mind Link and hurriedly casts a spell to detect the Six-dimensional Coordinate of his current location.
Sure enough, it is consistent with the information transmitted from the speaker's subconscious just now—
The Plane Coordinate cannot be detected!
Arriving at a new plane, and a Habitable Plane at that, how could Xia Duo not record the Plane Coordinate! Even if this plane might be under the surveillance of the Seven Towers at any time.
But who knows if there will be a day in the future when one needs to sneak in here!
Furthermore, recording coordinates at any time—whether the Plane Coordinate or the Six-dimensional Coordinate of a specific location within a plane—has already become an instinct for Xia Duo.
At this moment, the Six-dimensional Coordinate can still be detected, but the coordinate of the plane itself can no longer be collected, as if some invisible force is blocking Xia Duo's Perception.
This makes his detection results either non-existent or completely different from the results when he first arrived at this plane, and they are different every single time.
It is as if a random buff has been applied to the Plane Coordinate.
"Could this be the true effect of that magic suspected to be a Mythallar just now?"
At this time, the state of the Magic Net is as usual, at least within the range Xia Duo can check, with no changes from before. But if there really were no changes, how could the "concealment" of the Plane Coordinate be explained?
Aside from that magic suspected to be a Mythallar just now, Xia Duo cannot think of anything else.
If it were not that, then long before Xia Duo and the others arrived, there should have been similar handling; how would it have been his turn to record the Plane Coordinate!
Thinking this way, Xia Duo suddenly develops a guess: perhaps this joint operation was intended from the start to hide the Plane Coordinate from the inside, thereby preventing the Elves who have already learned the coordinate from teleporting over.
No, if that were the case, it would not just be hiding the coordinate; it might even be changing the original coordinate.
Even though he is only a newcomer who has just begun to step into the Plane Domain, Xia Duo is very clear that the Plane Coordinate reflects a relatively stable or regular position of a plane in the Ether Interlayer relative to the Main Plane.
Wanting to change a plane's original coordinate is actually changing the plane's position, or in common terms, moving the plane.
Is this possible?
For a newcomer like Xia Duo who has just stepped into the Plane Domain, this is impossible, but for the Seven Towers, it may not necessarily be impossible!
Xia Duo is lost in thought.
Afterwards, he returns to his temporary residence. Niya is already waiting for him there. Seeing Xia Duo return, Niya stares with bright eyes and sizes him up for a good while before saying:
"You are truly famous this time!"
At this moment, both are still in the Mind Link. The Mind Link cannot be used for private chats; it is similar to a broadcast, depending only on how much depth of information the specific linker can interpret and understand.
Like Xia Duo, he can interpret subconscious information. Others might be hiding things, but Xia Duo believes that the vast majority of people can only understand active conscious messages, which is the relatively strong Conscious Mind.
Xia Duo can feel the worry in Niya's words. This is different from the context, semantics, or tone of the language itself, but rather partial information revealed by the subconscious.
So he first returns a comforting look, then notifies the others in the Mind Link, banishing the consciousness Projections of the others, leaving only him and Niya.
In this situation, he does not mind more true emotional expression, and it is a true, true emotional expression. Through subconscious sharing, even if Niya cannot understand it, she can still feel a portion of his emotions.
Xia Duo reaches out to hold Niya's hand. The simultaneous contact of body and mind with a close person gives Xia Duo a sense of belonging he has never felt before.
He says in a relaxed yet firm tone: "No choice, duty-bound!"
Niya does not say anything more, just grips Xia Duo's hand tightly, and the same firm emotion flows through the Mind Link.
……
Meanwhile, at the nameless hill in the Green Field Plane.
Princess Xiya's Spellcasting is still continuing, but the commotion at the connection point between the Arcane Fire she has deployed and the external Magic Net is already imperceptible.
Only then does she spare a small gap to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead. Seeing this, Badijiaer hurriedly steps forward to ask: "Your Highness, is it finished?"
"Not yet, what's the rush!" Princess Xiya says without turning her head, then asks, "Has Jielinisi retreated?"
"He has already left; I watched him leave!"
Speaking of this, Badijiaer suddenly gets excited, "You really should have seen the expression on his face at the time. He was trying hard to maintain his final pride, yet could not hide the displeasure of being driven away. That scene of reluctance—I don't think he will ever forget it in his life."
"Enough! In just this short while, how many times have you said that!"
Huo En, who is on the side, can no longer stand it and says with a look of dissatisfaction: "Don't disturb Her Highness's Spellcasting. The Mythallar is not yet complete; if it fails, it is not us who will suffer the loss! Hmph!"
"Huo En, you—"
Badijiaer is just about to say something, but seeing Xiya's slightly furrowed brows, he swallows the words he wanted to say, only giving Huo En a look that says he will not argue with him, and then looks into the distance.
Seeing this, Huo En does not continue to provoke him and also silently looks into the distance.
Seeing this scene, Hadelaien shakes his head helplessly, checks the surroundings and even the situation of the entire Green Field Plane once more, and after confirming there are no problems, he leaves this place directly.
……
As time passes bit by bit, the Magic Net above the hill becomes active again, but this is clearly nearing the end. With the final return to calm, Princess Xiya stops her Spellcasting:
"The Mythallar is complete!"
