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 master of these power of time.
Once it fails, for the Northland Alliance and the main plane, it is likely to be a miserable victory. 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 was no anchor 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 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 prediction spells of the Red Heart Alliance later developed and actually became the result of a pure Nese magic system, which also included anchoring the altar of the living world.
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 point before making the prediction. The first thing he has to do every time he makes a prediction is to determine the time point he predicts.
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 Xia Duo dared to challenge the Illuminati in this field, in addition to the reason that he was not chosen, another important reason is that when he casts the spell in the time field, the anchor point can be selected 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.
Anchor the present world, the reason why it is called this name is not 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 with the passage of time, 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. (Anchor
The point is set by Sha Duo before the decisive battle begins 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 overall strength of the Northland Alliance, which can provide sufficient support when Shado tries to change the past, thereby reducing the number of attempts, instead of constantly trying like the Illuminati.
Xia Duo is very aware that one of his biggest disadvantages is that he has not mastered the means of manipulating the timeline through arcane magic. The trump card he relies on to counterattack now comes precisely from the power of time he has 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.
Therefore, he must maximize his strengths and avoid weaknesses as much as possible, and make full use of this limited time.
But now, everything is ready. Xia Duo thinks that he has considered it comprehensively and done his best. The rest - if there is God's will - then leave it to God!
…
The special dimension of the astral world.
On top of the spring of time that continues to flow outward, Xia Duo holds a strange crystal that preserves the power of time, and instantly locks a scene that he thinks is pretty good in the continuously flowing water of time.
Then, with the help of the characteristics of the birth and death timeline of the power of time, it instantly covers the rest of the scene. This is just a time anomaly displayed in the star world. It only exists for a moment, and then returns to its original appearance.
But in the main plane, beings who cannot transcend the timeline cannot detect such changes, but for beings who can maintain continuity of consciousness in the birth and death of the timeline, the past has been changed!
In other words, when Sha Duo projects his consciousness into the astral realm, time on the main plane has nothing to do with it.
