Chapter 1214 Several possibilities and timeline issues
Shado left the star realm before because he sensed the appearance of an unknown existence behind him that far exceeded the scale of the plane created by Thorne.
At that time, he speculated that it was probably reinforcements from the natives, and Thorne and Cliff should be able to sense the almost overwhelming and overwhelming movement.
In other words, if Cliff had chosen to leave the star realm at that time, he would have left with Shado, and would have appeared "alive" together in the projection hall of Giles Tower!
If he did not leave voluntarily, unless he was instantly killed by the powerful presence of hunter reinforcements, but this possibility is extremely low, so we can only draw the most likely conjecture——
Cliff did not choose to leave immediately.
This speculation leads to two more likely speculations——
One is that Cliff was killed by the reinforcements of indigenous hunters, and the feedback was reflected on the ontology, which turned the ontology into fly ash.
But there is a big problem with this speculation, that is, even if the ectoplasmic projection incarnation dies, it will not affect the original body.
Unless there are some special attacks, such as the liquid metal-shaped sword in the hands of the hunter leader Thorn mentioned before, or the soul attack spell.
But for Cliff, who can leave at any time, such an attack is like an ordinary person using his sword to kill a high-level mage who can teleport away at any time.
It's possible, but the possibility is extremely low. If you have a strong sense of crisis, you know how to run away in advance.
Another speculation is very simple. It has nothing to do with the indigenous hunters. Cliff only had the accident after getting rid of those indigenous hunters.
As for what kind of accident led to Cliff's death, Chateau also has several more likely speculations -
One is that Cliff did not want to waste the opportunity to go to the Ruins of Dreams accompanied by Thorne. Even though he had returned to the main plane, he still did not give up and continued to the Ruins of Dreams. Then he had an accident at the Ruins of Dreams.
The other one is more of a conspiracy theory, basically inseparable from Thorne, and may even be related to someone from the main plane!
And when Shado asked that question, Randall seemed to understand what Shado meant, "You mean that Cliff might have had an accident after you left the star realm?"
"Yes!" Xia Duo nodded seriously.
He felt that the possibility of Cliff being killed by an indigenous hunter was extremely low. It was difficult for him to imagine that there could be any existence that could kill Cliff instantly and leave him with no chance of escape.
He basically believed that Cliff either died in the Ruins of Dreams or died in some kind of conspiracy against him. If it was the latter, then Thorne's suspicion would be infinite!
As for why the two of them did not leave the star realm at the same time, but returned at the same time (life status effect), that is what is special about the star realm.
Even if Shado stays in it for 100 years and Cliff stays in it for 1 second, when they return, they will return to the main plane at the same time as when they set off at the same time. For the main plane, there is almost no time.
Pass.
This also means that if two people do not go to the star realm at the same time, it is almost impossible to meet them in the star realm!
This is the question that scares Xia Duo the most.
In the past, he often wanted to meet people from the past, or people from the future, in the astral realm or the projection plane.
But in fact, the basis for his existence is that there is no person from the past in the star realm, or there is a person from the past in the star realm, but that person from the past has lost the time anchor when he entered the star realm!
Correspondingly, it is impossible for him to meet people from the future in the star realm. If he can meet him, it means changing the future, and then the people from the future will not exist.
The automatic coordination of time and space will not be encountered directly.
If he stays in the astral realm until he meets someone from the future, he will also lose the time anchor of the moment he entered the main plane when he entered the astral realm.
In layman's terms, he can't go back to the past relative to the future. Even if he knows the future, he can't change anything through it.
Of course, these are just Chateau's speculations, based on a small number of known facts and thought experiments, which are logically consistent but difficult to verify.
If you can meet people from the past or the future, according to Xia Duo's speculation, they must come from other timelines, and then the world will become more complicated and profound.
He suspected that prophecy might be using God to spy on a certain future timeline. If this was true, then God would not be affected by the timeline, and might even transcend the timeline.
Additionally, if his speculation is completely wrong, the past can be changed.
Then this kind of world is even more terrifying, which means that his own existence is easily shaken. Maybe he is the result of countless changes in the timeline, but he doesn't know it!
This question is really scary to think about!
Chateau really didn't want to think too much about such an issue, so after giving two theories about Cliff's death, he completely kept silent.
The possibility of a conspiracy theory is not high, and the possibility of a conspiracy theory involving Iolum is even less likely. With Iolum present, he is not very worried about becoming a victim of the conspiracy theory.
If it was an accident, as a senior arcanist, he would not be the scapegoat to take responsibility.
After thinking about this, Xia Duo felt much more relaxed. Although he was a party involved, he observed the handling process of several great arcanists with a bystander mentality.
…
"Lord Shado, you can leave now, but before the Seven Towers announces the results, please don't leave Severton. There may be some questions for you to confirm later."
"I understand." Sha Duo didn't argue, just said, "Then I will stay at the Austrian Law Federation during this period."
"Can."
After Badigal finished speaking, he signaled to Xia Duo that he could leave.
Shado took one last glance at Cliff's relics still lying on the ground, sighed silently in his heart, exchanged a confirming look with Iolum, and then left the projection hall without looking back.
…
After Chateau left, Badigal and others continued to discuss, but after repeated discussions, they could not get away from one issue, which was the real cause of Cliff's death.
If this problem is not resolved, then at this critical moment when the Northland Alliance is about to be established, the consequences of this incident will be very serious.
Everyone in the Seven Towers and Iolum had serious expressions on their faces, especially Skoum.
Cliff's death on his property, regardless of the reason, will have a considerable negative impact on Giles Towers.
When this happened just after taking over Giles Towers, Skum's displeasure was almost written on his face.
"Then what should we do now? Is anyone willing to go to the star realm to investigate?"
Skum's substantial eyes glanced back and forth at the crowd several times, but he did not receive any response. This situation made him feel angry.
