Chapter 1416 ng Chao’s Prediction (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s right.”
The Wolf King nodded. “When the Ancient Dream Saintess is in a deep sleep, her brain is in the most active state. That’s the most suitable ti to transmit all kinds of information.
“Besides, I myself only managed to grasp so much information from the future through an extrely long and lifelike nightmare.
“It is of course the best way to turn this unusual rat girl into the Ancient Dream Saintess who can predict the future.
“In the Ancient Dream Saintess’ eyes, all of this is a ‘prediction’ that the Big-horned Rat God passed to her through her dream. Obviously, she listens to everything and believes it without a doubt.”
“That is indeed the case.”
ng Chao said, “Then, let us consider this question: If we remove the Big-horned Rat God from the Ancient Dream Saintess’ dream and only keep the part of ‘seeing the future and predicting it,’ and make her dream
co true every ti, how do you think she will understand the whole thing?
“Upon seeing a terrifying future where the entire Great Horn Army will be annihilated, will she feel that she has also been reincarnated to a point where everything has yet to happen? Will she then stop at nothing to
prevent the tragedy from happening?”
The Wolf King slowly widened his bloodshot eyes.
He stared at ng Chao and remained silent for a long ti.
“You an…”
His rat teeth, which were sharper than his wolf teeth, pierced through his lips. Fresh blood andered and crawled all over his rapidly heaving chest. However, he did not seem to notice it at all and only continued to
ponder along with ng Chao’s logic. “So kind of existence… that’s more powerful than us is sending a ssage about the future to the depths of our brains. And it has caused us to mistakenly believe that we’ve
already lived an extrely long life in a nightmare, which is both illusory and real.
“After waking up from the nightmare, we naturally think that we’ve been reincarnated from the future and that we’re shouldering so kind of… sacred and crucial mission?”
“That’s right.”
ng Chao nodded.
“In other words, this ‘existence that is more powerful than us’ has the ability to foresee the future?”
The Wolf King muttered, “Is that possible?”
“Of course it’s possible. Even if it’s not a special talent like yours or mine, where we dream about the end of the world, any ordinary person can foresee the future.”
ng Chao said, “For example, if I choose a citizen of Dragon City or a Turan orc, I can accurately predict that they will all die in the next hundred years. They will definitely not live more than a thousand years.
“I can also accurately predict that the sun will rise in the east and set in the west tomorrow.
“Let give you another one. I predict that the Turan civilization will only focus on brainless battles and not on the inheritance of knowledge and technology. Even if they occasionally win on a tactical level,
strategically, they won’t be able to stop their civilization from deteriorating, failing, and collapsing, eventually falling into the abyss of destruction.
“Not enough? “Then, I’ll continue to make more predictions—the descendants of the rat people are most likely still be rat people, and the descendants of the warriors will most likely still be warriors. If Picturesque
Orchid Lake’s ecological structure does not change, the mandrake trees will continue to multiply and occupy the living space of other crops. The Turan civilization will forever be trapped in the vicious cycle of the ‘era
of prosperity and glory,’ and the Turan civilization will never have a way out.
“Even if there are no raging flas falling from the sky, the end of the world will certainly appear one way or another in the near future.
“Similarly, if the Dragon City civilization cannot deeply understand this world and seriously think about how to survive in a mysterious world with extraordinary power, they will cling to the inherent knowledge from
the Earth era and think that they can sweep away thousands of soldiers and conquer the world with re torrents of steel.
Even if Dragon City has a few more Deity Realm warriors or relies on the ancient ruins to create more advanced weapons and equipnt, we might not be lucky enough to avoid the imminent apocalypse despite our
fforts. In the near future, the apocalypse could still happen. Destruction or self-destruction are both high-probability events.
Look, I can casually make so many predictions with the accuracy of at least 50%. What’s so great about that?”
The Wolf King wanted to say sothing, but he hesitated.
“I know. You want to say that the ‘predictions’ that I’ve made are too rough and general. They are not as vivid and full of details as the future that we see in our nightmares, right?”
ng Chao smiled slightly. “That’s because the information that I have is not rich enough. It’s far from enough.
Let randomly choose a Dragon City citizen whom I’ve never t before. I can only guess that he’ll definitely die in the next three to five hundred years.
However, if I were to see his appearance and learn more about his habits, the recipes of his daily diet, the risk factors of his occupation, the history of his family’s genetic diseases, as well as his most detailed dical
reports and hospitalization records in the past ten years, it would be different. It would be best if I could use my spirit energy to scan his internal organs, limbs, bones, and extraordinary ridians. In short, I would be
able to collect all the data about his physical condition.
‘ll definitely be able to co to a more accurate conclusion.
“Although my ‘prediction’ may very well be wrong for a specific individual, if I were to predict the life expectancy of a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand ordinary citizens and obtain all the data on their
physical condition, I believe that the accuracy of my ‘predictions’ would be extrely high.
“The life expectancy of a person can be predicted. So, can the future of a city or even a civilization be predicted?
“Of course it can.
“It doesn’t require the power of ‘transcendence’ or ‘foresight.’ It only calls for enough initial data and strong computational ability.
“Many ga corporations and major organizations in Dragon City have a Strategic Planning Departnt, which is responsible for collecting data and predicting the future.
“In the field that they are most familiar with and skilled in, the success rate of such ‘strategic planning’ is high.
“It has been discovered that a certain valley contains an astonishing crystal lode. It has been predicted that in the near future, a satellite industrial town centered on mining, refining, and manufacturing will be built
around the crystal lode. The population of the satellite industrial town can even be predicted based on the approximate reserves and quality. What’s so strange about that?
“At the sa ti, I believe that you and your confidants have deduced and tried to control the future countless tis. You rose up miraculously and used the Great Horn Army to raise the bandits’ self-respect. You
provoked the conflict between the Lion and Tiger Clans to benefit from it. Then, you used the Holy Mountain’s inheritance to intimidate the five clans and take control of Picturesque Orchid Lake’s hegemony.
“I believe that the success of the ten-year-long plan was not entirely due to the guidance of the broken and blotchy nightmare. It was more because of your own deduction, calculation, and ingenious guidance based
on the current information you had, wasn’t it?”.
