As for the Illuminati, it is actually an internal contradiction within the main plane. From an inter-realm perspective, what other contradictions cannot be bridged?

Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that the Illuminati would rather destroy the main plane to achieve their own ideals.

However, Chateau's consideration of launching Plitatis was not just a casual thought, but he was indeed considering it seriously.

Things like prophecy still require a certain basis in reality, and it is impossible to imagine a future that has nothing to do with reality out of thin air.

The Holy Golden Dragon Empire is an unprecedented interference item for the high-level prophets of the Illuminati. Once those prophets learn of the existence of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, they will inevitably be unable to eliminate this interference item.

Judging from their ultimate goal of changing the timeline and letting the Elamite civilization dominate the world, the existence of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire is the biggest obstacle.

To use a theoretical metaphor from Earth, it’s almost like—

In the past, the current timeline of the main plane and the timeline of the unified plane of Elam civilization were in a superposition state, but the probability of the existence of the current timeline was greater, accounting for at least 90%.

And this probability is centered on the Elam region of the main plane, and the probability is higher the further out.

This is why the Illuminati must perform time-related rituals as close to Elam as possible.

Originally, there was no real connection between the Holy Golden Dragon Empire and the main plane in the past. The only connection might be that Savile had been there before, which would not have much impact on the state of the main plane.

If the Illuminati's theory of changing the timeline is correct and their ritual is successful, then Savile's connection with the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, which the Illuminati cannot change, is actually equivalent to booking a seat in the new world.

In the new world created by the Illuminati, Savile may be a demon descendant who also spent four years in the Holy Golden Dragon Empire for some reason.

It’s just that there may not be other people in the new world.

If Savile's situation is magnified, if the Holy Golden Dragon Empire comes to the main plane, or has a strong connection with the main plane, is it possible for the Illuminati to change this reality?

I am afraid that the possibility of the Elamite civilization's unified plane timeline existing will be infinitely close to zero.

As for what is a stronger connection, Shado is not sure, but it is certain that letting the high-level prophets of the Illuminati know about the existence of Plitatis and the Outer Realm will inevitably increase the difficulty of their time-related rituals.

This is probably a way of flipping the table!

…

In addition, Shado also considered directly destroying or controlling Elan. It is not difficult to do this on a practical level. After all, Elan is such a big target. If you really want to destroy it, no matter who you are, it will be impossible to guard against it.

But the consequences of doing so may not be what he is willing to accept.

This is actually the fundamental reason why it is difficult to be a good person. There is no need to consider too many consequences of being a bad person. As long as the actual benefits on the book are greater than the costs, you can do this.

Although Xia Duo never considers himself a good person, he also has his own bottom line. He has his own set of rules for what he can and cannot do.

To be honest, he can confidently say that the bottom line of the countries in the main plane is not as high as his. This is also the belief that supports his actions in the magical world that is different from the earth.

A being similar to Tao Xin, as long as his belief does not collapse, he will eventually be able to stick to the bottom line.

But if you don't destroy Elam, you may not be unable to control Elam. At least trying to control Elam can also make the Illuminati jump on it. After all, the final time-related ceremony will almost certainly be chosen in Elam.

If Elan is controlled by Shado or more supervised by the Alliance, it will also be greatly difficult for the Illuminati to perform time-related rituals.

…

Between controlling Elam and exposing Plitatis, Shado prefers the former. Although the latter is likely to be more effective, the Severnton Council may not agree easily.

Even if this may be more beneficial to the main plane, it may not be beneficial to Netheril. Although other council members are also members of the main plane, they may not accept his favor. It would be good not to scold him.

This is actually a conflict between collective benefit and individual use. Compared to the entire main plane, Netheril can only be regarded as an individual.

Compared to Netheril as a whole, Shado and other council members are also individuals.

Netheril may not be willing to do things that are beneficial to the main plane, because it will harm Netheril's interests. The members of the Sevington Council may not be willing to do things that are beneficial to Netheril, because it may also harm their personal interests.

The real world is so complicated. Without the ability to transcend ethnic groups and reality, it is best not to think that you can reconcile everything, but to always have a tendency.

Between the main plane and Netheril, Shado temporarily chose Netheril. Of course, he may not make such a choice when he encounters a similar situation in the future.

"Don't plan for politics if you are not in your position" is the teaching of the sages in his hometown. Xia Duo can only consider the overall situation as much as possible within the scope that he can control. If he cannot control it, then do what he can do first.

If he were now the speaker of the Sevington Parliament and also the head of power of the Northland Alliance, then he would definitely choose to make Plitatis public. Doing so would not only completely resolve the threat of time-related magic, but also allow him to This integrates other forces on the main plane and puts the development of the main plane on the fast track.

But unfortunately he is not, and will not be for quite some time in the future.

But that doesn't matter, his influence is growing day by day, and the territory also needs development, so he can definitely afford to wait.

…

After several considerations, Shado finally decided to start by controlling Elam. Of course, "control" here does not mean actually occupying and ruling Elam, but forming enough supervisory power over Elam to force the Illuminati to reveal its flaws.

Although this may not necessarily completely eliminate the Illuminati, as long as it can be delayed until the next year, it can at least reduce the threat of time-related magic to the extreme.

The only thing he lacks now is a chance to reasonably intervene in Elan without being suspected by the Illuminati.

Xia Duo originally thought that this opportunity might be difficult to find, but he didn't expect that just a few days after he made up his mind to intervene in Elan, this opportunity was presented to him abruptly by Elan.

Alliance headquarters, Lingsi Network Research Center.

Sitting behind his desk, Xia Duo listened to his assistant Charles' report on Elan's official compulsory collection of computing power pool user subsidies. He always felt that there was an unreal feeling that the world and the earth were working together.

After Elam became independent, without Sluwende's support, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net spent a lot of money to maintain the people's livelihood and development in the area. Now suddenly there is an artifact like a computing power pool that can send money. Why? Might not take advantage of it.

So what happened was what Charles reported—

Forcibly collect computing power pool user subsidies.

Of course, according to Elan's official statement, the computing power pool subsidies are also considered as the mage's income and need to pay taxes, and there are many.

But in fact, there is currently no so-called personal income tax in the entire elf world on the main plane. Elan officials not only created a new tax type, but also focused on the computing power pool.

Not only Xia Duo can intervene, but even any named elf mage can intervene. Otherwise, if the Elan official completes the personal income tax matter, other countries will most likely follow suit.

This is not just a matter of computing power pool subsidies, but all other income may be taxed.

Xia Duo didn't know how the Elan official could do such a thing. It was too far ahead of its time. Maybe it was the intervention of the Illuminati, but it would be a pity to miss this opportunity that came to our door.
