Arcane Lord

Yongle City, inside the secret ceremony room.

Sha Duo quickly completed the preparations before the ceremony. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. The anchoring altar as the main spell-casting auxiliary tool did not need to be changed. The rest was more of a psychological preparation.

After all, the power of time he collected is very limited, and now, he has to use such a limited and non-renewable power of time to fight against the original owners of these power of time.

Once it fails, it is likely to be a tragic victory for the Northland Alliance and the main plane. To be honest, Xia Duo is under a lot of pressure at this time, but he will not deliberately bear all the pressure. On oneself.

"Just try your best!"

After finally comforting himself, Sha Duo randomly began to cast spells to project his consciousness to the star realm. Up to this point, he was still following the normal process of the prophecy ritual.

Soon, he saw a planar timeline that was based on the anchor point of the present world and continued to spread outward, like a spring. If there were no anchors in the present world, then he would see a long river of time with no end and no direction.

All the pictures seen in such a long river of time may come from any of the past, present, and future. If the time cannot be judged, it means that the prophetic revelation finally obtained by the caster may be meaningless.

Most prophets have their own way of judging time, whether it is through intuition or certain conditions, there must be at least one.

A prophet who cannot tell time is not even worthy of being called a prophet at all.

Sha Duo's approach comes from the Red Heart Alliance in the projection plane, including the prophecy rituals he uses now, and the prophecy spells of the Red Heart Alliance did come from elven magic at the beginning.

After all, they are all elves, but they were infected with the aura of the abyss and became demons, but the source of magic is still the same.

But compared to the elven magic that has always been inherited in the main plane, the magic system of the Red Heart Alliance has turned into Nese magic under Sha Duo's intervention - the Red Heart Alliance must rely on this kind of quick magic to grow rapidly in its early stages.

This also made the prophetic spells of the Red Heart Alliance develop into a pure result of the Nese magic system, which also included anchoring the living altar.

The main plane elf prophets use to determine the time nodes of the prophetic picture, mainly through multiple prophecies, worldly exploration, intuition and other means.

Of course, this is what Sha Duo learned from the memory of the prophet Paffen who was captured alive by him before. It only represents Paffin, and does not mean that other prophets are the same. However, Paffin is quite famous in the elf world, and he still represents it to some extent. sexual.

At least Paffin does not have the ability to rule out the prophetic picture before the preset time node before the prediction is made. The first thing he has to do every time after making a prediction is to determine the time node he predicted.

The so-called "prophecy" may actually be more appropriately called "looking at the long river of time", and "looking at the long river of time" is not limited to the future.

In the same way, in the elf world, all spells involving time and prophecy can basically be determined to be based on the current time node of the caster.

The Illuminati's time-related rituals are no exception.

The reason why Shado dared to challenge the Illuminati in this field was that, in addition to not being chosen, another important reason was that when he cast spells in the time field, the anchor point could be in the past.

Of course, strictly speaking, it is not that he "can" choose the past, but that he happens to already have an anchor point belonging to the past. If not, then he cannot conjure it out of thin air.

Anchoring the present world is called this name because it can only anchor the current moment where the caster is. But once it is anchored, the anchor point will not automatically move forward as time goes by, but will still remain. in the past.

Therefore, Xia Duo has such an advantage that is not sure how big it is.

But through previous experiments, he was almost certain that when changing the past (relative to his present) through the power of time, having an anchor point that existed in the past was very advantageous.

The most intuitive manifestation of this advantage is that it will reduce the consumption of time power.

The popular understanding is that from Sha Duo's current perspective, he does want to change the past, but from the perspective of the power of time, there is an anchor point that exists in the past. In fact, it is more like changing the future. (The anchor point was set by Sha Duo before the decisive battle began to predict the direction of the war.)

If changing the past is like sailing against the current, changing the future is like swimming with the current.

Regarding the future, we can’t even talk about changes at all, because the future has not happened yet, we just guide a future that we want to see, that’s all.

It is because of this advantage that Sha Duo has the confidence to fight the final battle with the Illuminati on the timeline level where they are best at.

In addition to this advantage, there is also the advantage of the Northland Alliance's overall strength, which can provide sufficient support when Shado tries to change the past, thereby reducing the number of attempts, instead of trying all the time like the Illuminati.

Xia Duo knew very well that one of his biggest disadvantages was that he did not have the means to manipulate the timeline through arcane magic. The trump card he relied on to counterattack now came precisely from the power of time he had collected.

The power of time he collected is limited, but the power of time from Daphne of the Illuminati can be infinitely regenerated. Even if there are certain limitations, it is definitely much more generous than him.

So he must make the best use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and use this limited power of time to its full potential.

Now, all preparations are ready. Xia Duo thinks that he has considered it comprehensively enough and done his best. The rest - if there is a will of God - then leave it to God!

...

Special dimension of the astral world.

Above the spring of time that continues to flow outward, Xia Duo holds a strange crystal that preserves the power of time, and instantly locks on a scene that he thinks is not bad in the constantly surging water of time.

Then he uses the characteristics of the birth and death timeline of the power of time to instantly cover the rest of the scenes. This is just a time anomaly displayed in the astral world. It only exists for a moment and then returns to its original appearance.

But in the main plane, the existence that cannot exceed the timeline cannot perceive such changes, but for the existence that can maintain the continuity of consciousness in the birth and death of the timeline, the past has been changed!

In other words, when Xia Duo projects his consciousness to the astral world, the time of the main plane has nothing to do with it.

But in the main plane, beings that cannot exceed the timeline cannot perceive such changes, but for beings that can maintain the continuity of consciousness in the birth and death of the timeline, the past has been changed!

In other words, when Xia Duo projects his consciousness to the astral world, the time of the main plane has nothing to do with it.
