Arcane Lord

This is actually the perspective of a prophet. The destinies of countless people are intertwined to form the real world. However, in the eyes of a prophet like Xia Duo who appears halfway, he cares about the present.

In the eyes of prophets like Daphne, who are still possessed by Sha Duo, the past, present, and future can also influence and interfere with each other, and the most terrifying thing is——

It actually works, and the Illuminati is already doing it!

Previously, the Illuminati had been fine-tuning the past timeline through time-related rituals, allowing the Elamite civilization that had never appeared in the real history of the current timeline to appear out of thin air.

However, the inertia of history is great.

From the perspective of prophecy, the timelines or destinies of countless people are intertwined, but the directions of these destinies are not uniform. There are bound to be some events that are more likely to occur than others.

For example, take the Crown War. The emergence of the war itself can be regarded as an inevitable outcome. At that time, the powerful elves led by Arivanda and Irisri were dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted to compete for continental hegemony. There would eventually be a battle.

But who will win in the end, or who will win a certain local war, is not inevitable. There are too many factors that can influence it, and just one piece of information may be enough to change the outcome of both sides.

Another example is the birth of Cormanthor, which is a high-probability choice for the Listal Forest countries to suffer heavy losses in the Drow War. Even without the prophecy of King Oceanus at the time, the Listal Forest countries would have suffered heavy losses in the Drow War. Take the initiative to hug together for warmth.

It's just that it may not be directly integrated into a country, but forming an alliance similar to the current Northland Alliance is also a high probability.

The only way to prevent the alliance in the Listal Forest is to allow the countries to retain more strength in the drow war, so much that they can survive well without the need for alliance.

But in reality, it is difficult to do so. The drow deliberately launch a war, which cannot be avoided by predicting it in advance.

Xia Duo has experienced the existence of Cormanzo in several projection planes, which proves that the birth of Cormanzo is a high probability event in history.

After all, there are so many projection planes, and the projection planes that Sha Duo experienced were largely selected at random. It is conceivable that such a high proportion of Cormanso exists in the randomly selected ones.

Of course, this refers to the existence of the conditions for the birth of Cormanthor.

Some projection planes evolved from earlier historical branches of the main plane, so there may not necessarily be Cormanso, just like the projection plane of the Heart Alliance that Shado experienced.

In that projection plane, there was no birth of Cormanthor. Instead, under the pressure of the Red Heart Alliance, the elven countries spontaneously formed the Everriska Alliance named after Everriska.

Putting it on the main plane, the reason why history has developed into what it is now is largely inevitable. At least from the perspective of the current timeline, most major historical events are high-probability events.

For example, the fate of the demon descendants is an inevitable result caused by the elven tradition.

On the contrary, it is the Elamite civilization that the Illuminati is looking forward to, which can be called a miracle and the impossible among historical impossibilities.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for the Illuminati to change history. First of all, it involves the history of the gods, which is almost impossible to change. Secondly, some major historical events are impossible to change even if the Illuminati goes back to the past. of.

What's more, if you control the timeline to evolve, if you can't enter it and personally control every detail of history, it will be even more impossible to change it.

If Daphne puts herself in a loop like this, it is only because Daphne really existed during this time. If it was a time period when Daphne did not exist, for example, one thousand four hundred years ago.

When the previous generation of wise men, Daphne's father, had not established the Illuminati, the most Daphne could do was let history evolve naturally, and then choose the right one to make it the current timeline. To a large extent, it still depends on probability.

If the Illuminati wants to regenerate Elam, the only possibility is to promote changes in major events through small historical events that can be changed.

And this requires a sufficiently skilled prophet to be able to discern the fate of time and space and find the key nodes that can promote the birth of Elam. This is the essence of the so-called ritual window period.

Once you miss many things, you will never be able to change the future through them.

After understanding this, Xia Duo also knew what the so-called decisive battle was like. This was not one or two specific battles, but an endless war that existed on the timeline.

The time-related signals currently monitored by the Northland Alliance can be said to be local battlefields on a timeline. By manipulating the timeline, the Illuminati will have countless opportunities to start over. As long as they win once, that time will be over. If it becomes a reality, if the alliance wants to stop it, it must win every time.

Once a local battlefield allows the Illuminati to win, it means that a small event in the past - which may not be worth mentioning for the Alliance, but may be a key node for the Illuminati's Elam rebirth plan - has occurred. Change.

In this way, victory in multiple local battlefields will lead to the future of Elam's rebirth.

Of course, even if you know the Illuminati's plan, it is very difficult to completely dismantle the Illuminati's plan. At most, Xia Duo now has a guaranteed way to seal the victory.

But the premise is that there must be a victory for him to lock, and this method cannot be exposed too early, otherwise the Illuminati will know and may be used by the other party.

Now Daphne knows that Shado can anchor the past, but she doesn't know how to anchor it, which is one of the rare advantages of the Alliance.

In addition to this, the biggest advantage of the Alliance is that it has an absolute advantage in absolute strength. As long as the Illuminati dares to fight the Alliance head-on, it doesn't even need all the countries in the Alliance to make efforts. Only one country may crush the Illuminati.

But the Illuminati is difficult to deal with here. He will not fight you head-on, but put the battlefield on the timeline, and use the probability of countless trial and error to win, which can be regarded as bringing his own advantages to the extreme.

...

At the moment, Shado is fighting with Daphne for the last time. Judging from the other party's reaction, he should be preparing to escape again, but he has no good means to stop it now.

So when Daphne wanted to test him, he also wanted to get as much information about the Illuminati and the timeline war as possible from this last fight.

Of course, magic duels alone are far from enough to obtain these key information, and it still depends on the mouth cannon.

But Daphne is not stupid. How could such key information be easily revealed? After the two sides tested each other many times, Daphne finally stopped testing and even gave up the magic duel completely.
