Arcane Lord

Currently, Shado has not mastered the means to effectively enslave elemental creatures, but if it is just imprisonment, there will be absolutely no problem, so he is not worried about the revived earth element elder getting out of control.

The place where he chose to revive the earth element elder is an unnamed valley in Elan, where the vegetation is relatively sparse, so there is no need to worry about polluting the local environment when releasing the earth element.

Although in Shado's plan, the destruction of Elan has entered the countdown, but it is not the last one yet, so he still tries to consider everything he can.

Randomly selecting a rock protruding from the ground, Shado put the four earth element spirits received from Iolum and the Seven Towers on it, and temporarily made a focusing array, and then opened the earth element channel above the rock.

This is a real element channel that leads directly to the inner plane. It only interacts with the main plane with elemental energy, but the inner plane is the source of elemental energy. Generally speaking, as long as the channel is opened, it often pours out to the main plane or the material plane.

This is what Xia Duo saw at the moment. He saw circles of elemental channels that looked like ripples on the water, emitting strong magical auras while gushing out a large amount of earth elements (energy).

After contacting the focusing array on the rock below, they began to gather inside it, and the four elemental spirits that looked like earth clods almost immediately reacted after contacting the earth element energy.

They began to proliferate at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing a little bit from the fist-sized earth clods, but in the process of growing, the appearance of the four spirits began to change a little bit.

Two of them still maintained their original khaki color, but the other two, one of the yellow began to fade, and the other was stained with a layer of gray and black.

As time passed, all the elemental spirits lost their original khaki color, and their proliferated parts looked more like rocks than soil.

Xia Duo watched all this happen coldly without any extra actions. According to the information provided by the Seventh Tower, the body of the earth element elder was very large, and if he wanted to recover from the spirit state, he had to reach at least half of his normal state.

During the process of soul multiplication, the four stones that were originally close to each other did not merge into everything, but showed a clear state, and each of them multiplied in the direction away from other souls.

...

After almost an hour, the four souls had changed from the original dirt and clods into four huge rocks with different colors. Xia Duo didn't know much about rocks, and only recognized that one of them should be Huanggang rock.

The previously made temporary focusing array had been crushed by the four huge rocks, and even the stones and soil below were partially assimilated by the four earth element elders who were recovering.

But at this moment, there was no need for the focusing array to gather earth element energy for them. After sensing the element channel above, they could actively absorb the enriched earth element energy around them for multiplication and recovery.

At this point, as long as there is no interference from external factors, the recovery of these four earth element elders is a foregone conclusion.

Of course, Xia Duo would not interfere, but quietly reduced the flux of the element channel to delay the recovery progress of these earth element elders.

He hadn't received a reply from Tarafu yet, and didn't know whether the other party could find a way to enslave the elements, or whether he had already raised an earth element elder who could communicate with people.

As Shado calculated the time, he couldn't help but become anxious. Fortunately, he had something else to divert his anxiety, which was the "time gem" he had found on Dali in Belluno.

In Dali's memory, the crystal-like gem with starlight inside was given to him by Daphne, and its effect was to change the past at a critical moment.

And before the last meeting, Daphne had seen Daphne's ability to change the past, so he didn't doubt the effect of the gem.

This was Daphne's cognition, and Shado could be sure that it was true, but he was still relatively skeptical about whether Daphne had been deceived by Daphne and whether the gem could really change the past.

At the critical moment before the decisive battle, a gem that could change the past - of course this was Daphne's understanding, and in Shado's view it was actually reshaping the timeline - was handed over to a supporter who was not even willing to do it himself.

Shado was a little suspicious of Daphne's intentions.

So after returning to land, the first thing he dealt with was the clues about the Underdark, not the Time Stone.

Of course, he also knew that if the gem was real, then as long as the principle and mechanism were understood, it might be more effective in stopping the other party than directly finding the core ritual of the Illuminati.

Based on this consideration, although he still doubted the authenticity of the so-called Time Stone, he still invested a certain amount of energy in research.

Xia Duo's original body was now studying the Time Stone in Yongle City. At this time, the incarnation had not yet waited for Tarafu's follow-up reply. In order to relieve his anxiety, he paid more attention to the original body.

...

Yongle City, laboratory.

The Time Stone, which was originally stored in a dimensional bag alone, had been taken out by Xia Duo and placed on the laboratory table. The laboratory he was in now was a rare secondary laboratory in Yongle City, also known as the [Secondary Standard General Laboratory].

Basically, all the instruments and equipment needed for the experiment are complete. On the contrary, in the third-level laboratory, which is a higher level, because of the domain division, those instruments and equipment that are not in the corresponding domain are not always available.

At this moment, Xia Duo is somewhat fortunate that the Tower of Time was short of manpower and financially tight at the time, so it only built a few second-level laboratories in Yongle City, instead of building a third-level laboratory in the plane domain specifically for him.

Otherwise, he might have to rub various instruments and equipment by hand, or take out spare ones from the portable space, but it would take a lot of time to debug.

There is no magic network in the portable space, which has a certain impact on the preservation of instruments and equipment. Even if there is no impact, it still needs to be debugged after taking it out of the warehouse. This should be regarded as the basic process of the experiment.

And those that have been debugged in the laboratory only need a little confirmation before they can be used at any time.

Just like Xia Duo now, he used a variety of detection instruments with different perception dimensions to check the body of the time gem on the laboratory table, and the result was not much different from what he had judged after observing it with his naked eyes in Belluno.

From the surface, this is a stone with a more beautiful appearance, or if the test results of various instruments are correct, this is an ordinary crystal.

But will there be a little starlight inside the ordinary crystal?

Will ordinary crystal cause disturbances to the magic network that seem random but actually contain hidden rules?

Obviously not.

Proof by contradiction, this is not an ordinary crystal.
