Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1258 Killing Prophecy Arcane Empire Continued

Generally speaking, most of the reminder information has a reference source, that is to say, if the information is not obtained in advance, there is no reminder.

If there is, it can be called a "prophecy".

Continuing to perceive, in addition to perceiving what to do next in the oracle, Xia Duo further perceives more content, which involves the overall content of the prophecy.

Different from Cliff's interpretation of "the time of prosperity and blooming, deep in the ruins of dreams, the crimson hero has taken away the authority of death", the prophecy interpreted by Xia Duo is——

"Among the entangled time, deep in the bright nebula, the messenger of killing holds the authority of life and death."

Xia Duo told Cliff the prophecy he interpreted, but Cliff was not surprised, but said: "The results of the oracle interpreted by different people are also different, so you don't need to care about these details."

Xia Duo nodded. Indeed, the interpretation of oracles is actually the same as the interpretation of doctrines. The same doctrine (oracles, holy power) ultimately leads to different schools of thought.

If you want to truly unify your thinking and connotation, even if the Lord of Radiance personally explains it in person, it may not be effective.

Aside from some people who actually believe in themselves, even true believers will have their own unique insights into the doctrine and concept, which is even beyond the belief in the Lord of Radiance itself.

To use a very popular saying on earth to describe it, that is "I love my teacher, but I love the truth more"!
Xia Duo didn't dwell on this issue for too long, anyway, he had already been reminded what to do next, and this was enough.

……

Following the induction in his heart, Xia Duo traveled among the stars, and soon came to a point of light that was extremely dim and seemed to be about to go out.

"Your Excellency Cliff, this is it!"

Cliff and Thorne also followed Xia Duo here, and they also noticed this dim point of light, which means that this projection plane may disappear at any time.

Seeing this scene, a hint of anxiety appeared in Cliff's eyes, but he still calmed down and reminded Xia Duo: "Next, please trouble Lord Xia Duo."

Xia Duo knew that this trip had to go, but just when he was about to touch the light spot, he stopped suddenly, and asked again:
"Your Excellency Cliff, Your Excellency Thorne, will you also enter this projection plane?"

"I won't." Thorne replied very simply and indifferently.

"I can't, this projection plane can't bear two people coming at the same time." Cliff quickly answered Xia Duo's question, and couldn't help urging: "Lord Xia Duo, you must hurry up!"

"Ah."

Xia Duo responded, and then poked his finger at the special light spot guided by the prophecy oracle.

"boom--"

Far more intense mental impact than when using the tower of time to explore the array projection, countless memories flooded into my heart at once, and even various sensory information appeared together.

For a moment, Xia Duo felt like he had become another person, a high-level mage named "Mecade", a remnant of the Arcane Empire, and an elite judge of the resistance organization [Division of Vengeance].

"Damn it! Cliff didn't say that entering the projection plane from the astral world will accept all the memories at once!"

Fortunately, Xia Duo is no stranger to such a state, and has a relatively complete set of coping mechanisms. He quickly observed the surrounding environment, and it was a place similar to a ward.

At the same time, a memory suddenly came to my mind, it was a recent incident that happened to "Mecad" before Xia Duo came—

The operation was ambushed, barely escaped back to a makeshift shelter, and passed out.

Now that Xia Duo is here, he blindly guessed that there might be a betrayer beside him, otherwise how could he just encounter an ambush?

But at this moment, for him, rather than finding the betrayer, the more urgent problem is to solve the sudden surge of "McCard" memory.

……

Enduring both physical and mental discomfort, Xia Duo blessed himself with an 8-level protective spell [Energy Damage Protection], and added a [Force Field Barrier] on the hospital bed he was lying on now.

These two spells are commonly used spells that he is very familiar with and proficient. The 9th ring is indeed more powerful, but in this kind of mental state, he is forced to cast the spell that is not very proficient, and if he makes a mistake, he will directly play dead, that would be hilarious.

However, in the memory of "Mecade", the companions who retreated to this temporary shelter with him only touched the fifth floor of the magic net at most, and the two 8-level spells are relatively safe.

Those people would never have imagined that in just a short while, "Mecade" had changed from an ordinary high-level mage to a senior arcanist.

"There shouldn't be any problem!"

But no matter what, after barely casting two 8-ring spells, he has no energy left to do other things, and if the memory problem is not resolved, he is worried that it will affect the stability of his personality.

In the state of meditation, Xia Duo began to trace the memory while regulating the subconscious and expressing the consciousness. He directly traced back (in his own time) the personality state backed up during the daily meditation training a month ago, before setting off on the main plane.

Then trace back from that time node, and there is no abnormality in the period before entering the projection plane.

Until he entered [Projection Plane Arcane Empire Continuation] incarnated as "Mecade", unlike the normal exploration array projection with the help of the mage tower plane, this projection has a lot of memories pouring in.

The impact of foreign memories on one's own personality lies in the fact that it will change the subconscious mind little by little.

In layman's terms, some information is automatically marked as "trusted files" by his subconscious mind, and these "trusted files" accumulate more and more, and they are automatically combined into existences similar to "viruses", that is, they are different from his normal files. Personality, thinking and behavior patterns that interfere with his normal personality.

Although this will not turn Xia Duo into "Mecade" all of a sudden, under the pollution of "Mecade" memory, he is no longer the self in his self-knowledge.

Taking advantage of the current self-awareness of "Xia Duo", Xia Duo must solve this problem as soon as possible.

……

Because he had the experience of cleaning up drow's memory pollution in [Projected Plane Underdark], Xia Duo was actually not particularly worried about the current situation.

After all, "Mecad" is also a human being, and compared to Drow's hundreds of years of memory, it really pales in comparison.

What he has to do now is to temporarily ignore the automatic judgments made by the subconscious in the past, and use the past "backup personality" to make active judgments again.

All of this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, almost no less than re-experience the experience after entering the projection plane, and it is the kind of detail, including all the information from all perception angles including the normal five senses, magic net, and even intuition.

It's been a full month!
Even if the conscious perception time is much faster than the real time, it still takes a long time to complete this huge project.
