Arcane Lord

After all, these alliance representatives did not disappoint Shado completely. They did not wait until the end of the twenty minutes he gave. It took only four or five minutes. Under the leadership of Tirion, Devin and other representatives who had clearly expressed their support before, they signed the authorization document together, which could be said to be "coerced".

And at Shado's strong request, the validity period of the authorization document starts from the Battle of Tear Lake and ends after the war.

The end time does not have much impact. The key is the start time, which is related to the time node that Shado can reasonably and legally intervene in the past.

Now that the new authorization is in hand, it is equivalent to allowing all countries to directly intervene in the battlefield of the source of time-related signals within their borders during the decisive battle by means of not limited to directly sending people and war spells.

This is meaningless to the present world, because the authorization is traced back to the past tense no matter how early it is, but for the real decisive battle on the timeline, this is the biggest guarantee after the war.

…

After obtaining the new authorization, Shado immediately returned to Yongle City and came to the secret room where the prophecy was made before the war. At this time, it was not long since the last prophecy, and the furnishings in the secret room had not changed at all.

What Xia Duo cares about most is the altar in the center of the secret room, which still maintains the present world that he anchored before making the prophecy.

If he is going to make a new round of prophecy next, then keeping the anchoring state of the past is not conducive to his current prophecy. It is better to anchor the prophecy with the present.

If it is anchored with the past, or if Xia Duo does not update the anchoring state of the past like he is doing now, then when making a prophecy, everything from the time node of the anchoring to the present of the prophecy will occupy the share of the prophecy.

Since the possibility from the past time node to the present is actually what the prophet has experienced personally and is certain, the prophet does not actually need other possibilities during this period, which is equivalent to diluting the necessary prophecy with unnecessary prophecies.

And the act of prophecy itself is like panning for gold in the waves. The so-called dilution is equivalent to less gold, but the water remains the same.

Therefore, even from the perspective of Xia Duo, who has just started the art of prophecy, when anchoring before making a prophecy or choosing the time node as the starting point, it is better to choose the present that is closest to the prophecy.

But this time, Xia Duo was not trying to make a prophecy, but wanted to change the past. From this perspective, the anchor point in the past was more beneficial to him.

Because the past from the anchor point to the present, which should have been determined by Xia Duo now, was not what Xia Duo wanted to keep. He hoped to find other better possibilities for the alliance.

In this case, using the anchor of the past became very appropriate.

And there is another uncertain benefit of doing so, that is, he can "never meet" the controller of the time ritual on the side of the Illuminati, and he is in a relatively advantageous position.

Originally, Xia Duo could not do this, but the power of time gave him unexpected support.

…

In previous research, Xia Duo found that this kind of time power that was naturally dissipated by Daphne's time gem and then collected by him naturally has the effect of blessing prophecy spells.

Even as long as he holds the strange crystal used to preserve the time power he collected again, he can obtain the ability to observe the timeline out of thin air, which normally requires the use of prophecy to obtain.

However, there are many restrictions on casting prophecy spells, and a time anchor point must be established first. However, as long as you hold the strange crystal that preserves the power of time, you can gain such ability.

Although it is not continuous and not clear, it is like some pictures that have never been experienced before suddenly flashing in your mind. At first, Xia Duo did not think that it was a prophetic picture, but he was very sure that those pictures were definitely not his memories.

It is difficult to explain such pictures or perspectives out of thin air with communication or projection spells.

What really made him sure that it was a prophecy spell was that it accurately predicted the very near future - about two or three seconds - and automatically obtained such a future perspective without casting a spell.

For example, when Xia Duo saw a small ball falling from his hand, he would immediately see the scene of the small ball falling to the ground and bouncing, and then the small ball would fall to the ground.

The closer to the present, the more accurate and clear the prophecy scene. The farther into the future, the more fragmented and blurred the prophecy scene.

In this regard, he did not try much, just a taste, because any attempt would consume the power of time, and for him now, this unique power of time must be used in more critical places, of course, it cannot be consumed at will.

Although he only tried it a little, he still gained a lot. Among them, the least important but also the most far-reaching point for him now is that after contacting and consuming the power of time, he can already sense the existence of the power of time.

The power of time does not feel like any specific elemental energy to him, but more like a trend, like the ripples produced by the continuous extension of the timeline into the future.

But this is also a real and powerful force, powerful enough to change the past.

With his current perception of the power of time, he cannot quantify the amount of the power of time, but can only make a rough comparison, which is why he was able to judge the Illuminati's time-related rituals in the Elan underground before.

If he can't sense the power of time, then he may have to find a way to get close and judge from the details of the ceremony, which may delay a lot of time.

If there is any power similar to the power of time, Xia Duo can immediately give an example, that is the power of blood, which is also an unconventional and difficult to quantify power.

But compared with the traceable blood power, the power of time is too elusive. Xia Duo only collected the time power scattered in Daphne's time gem and consumed them for some simple experiments, and then he gained the ability to sense the power of time.

If he is allowed to study and contact it in depth, will he gain the ability to directly control the timeline or even travel freely in the timeline?

In fact, he can already control the timeline, but the time power he has now is too scarce to support his direct control of the timeline. Instead, he needs to use other methods to amplify the characteristics of the time power itself to the extreme.

It's similar to the leverage effect.

What Xia Duo chose was the prophecy spell. The Illuminati's time-related rituals were two completely different technical routes. Of course, if we talk about the more advanced one, it must be the Illuminati.

After all, the time-related rituals can change the past without the power of time, and his current method is still to make a fuss about the power of time.

Once the power of time is gone, the Illuminati can still continue, but he will no longer be able to do anything~
