Monsters Are Coming

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng’s consciousness followed the Guidance and descended to the "Senluo Forest Realm" area of the Pale Continent.

In the Perception View, the earth was overlooked, revealing a world constructed of plants in his mind.

Northward, massive vines sprawled over the ground like a gray dragon, branches and leaves weaving into an endless green canopy, blocking out the sky and sun.

Southward, towering giant trees stood like natural towers on the earth, their trunks covered with glowing patterns, with Life Energy flowing inside.

Eastward, fluorescence flowers swayed in the breeze, the tips of their blooms emitting sparkling dots that floated in the air, illuminating the dark forest.

The Splitting Sky Flower, with leaves as sharp as blades, bushes covered with purple Poison Stingers, toxic Mushrooms, Iron-eating Tree Demons... this was a kingdom composed of Plant Life.

Under the flourishing vitality, countless green plants grew wantonly, the sparkling light points on their surface making the earth appear dreamlike in the night.

The air here was filled with a rich presence of Life Particles, making it a rare "idle" treasure land that Qi Sheng had discovered.

He also decided to set it as the next Newbie Village space node area.

He managed to find this place thanks to the intelligence provided by the Lord of Welfare.

The average Hunting Level of the Plant Monsters here wasn’t high, especially in the eastern area.

Moreover, during his exploration, he found a Primordial Monster here.

The view then jumped to the western end of the Senluo Forest Realm, where colorful gigantic Mushrooms stood at the horizon, like a towering majestic mountain.

[Foreknowledge (Ninth-generation Source)]:

Hunting Level: God Realm.

Primordial Monster introduction: A Primordial Monster possessing the trait of Foreknowledge, capable of obtaining future information through deductions (consuming spiritual power and Qi-Blood in the process of deduction).

...

When Qi Sheng first saw the mountain-like massive Primordial Monster, he was astonished.

It was his first time seeing a ninth-generation Source, let alone one of God Realm level.

The rule ability it possessed was exceptionally powerful.

The Guidance defined the trait of "Foreknowledge" as the ability to analyze current information and then accurately predict future events.

This predictive deduction is akin to a weather forecast.

It consists of future trends constructed from current information, not directly viewing the future content, and requires a deductive process.

The Guidance mentioned that even the Star Network possessed similar predictive deduction abilities for the future.

For instance, the Star Network can grasp future trends through its powerful data processing capabilities.

However, there are still many hidden pieces of information that the Star Network cannot obtain, and the quantity of information determines the accuracy of future predictions.

The predictive capabilities of the ninth-generation Source, on the other hand, are entirely different.

By using this rule ability, information related to the deduced target (event) is automatically collected, and then combined with these future trends to compose future results.

To illustrate with reality.

The Star Network and the Foreknowledge rule, together, deduce a fighting event hosted by the Night Demon Clan and the Giant Python Clan.

Before the Star Network starts the deduction, it can collect all existing data, such as the historical performance of participating fighters, their physical conditions, venue conditions, etc.

Then, based on this data, the Star Network establishes a deduction model and uses algorithms combining information to predict the event outcome.

This results in a probability number.

The reason it’s a probability number and not an accurate result is because too many potential variables exist, and unexpected events can still occur.

These potential pieces of information could be a fighter suffering from insomnia the night before the event, resulting in poor mental state the next day.

Or a change in strategy by a participant during the competition.

Or even a fighter accidentally falling and injuring their knee while walking on the road that night, etc.

And these are just variables within reality; greater variables could include an alien invasion suddenly occurring tomorrow, resulting in the event’s cancellation.

The existence of unknown factors is bound to affect the event outcome the next day; even with big data, the Star Network can’t acquire all information.

The advantage of the ninth-generation Source’s Foreknowledge lies in the collection of current information.

Using the fighting event as an example again, by locking on the event with the Foreknowledge ability, all information related to the event will be automatically collected.

Including known information (such as the historical performance of participants, their condition, etc.) and even potential information difficult to focus on (like mental state of participants, on-the-spot performance, unforeseen incidents, etc.), all are included in the information statistics phase for deduction.

However, during this process, the user of the ability will not see the content of the information collection.

In the deduction operation process, a player’s Qi-Blood and spiritual power act like the electricity during computer operation, supplying energy for future deduction and then directly obtaining the answer.

Here, the Guidance likened it to ants with an explanatory example.

It stated that using 100 units of Energy to foresee an ant’s future, one could see the trajectory 20 days ahead of the ant.

But using 100 units of Energy to foresee the future of "an ant colony," influenced by more information, dramatically increases the consumption of predictive deduction, only allowing visualization of the future half an hour later.

Because an ant colony is a complex dynamic system, every ant is a variable, and the interaction among variables exponentially increases the amount of information, thereby increasing the deduction’s consumption.

Thus, the smaller the target, the simpler the information the Foreknowledge rule needs to process.

The larger the target, the more complex the information becomes.

Next is time.

When Foreseeing the future, wanting to look further ahead involves dealing with a larger amount of information related to the prediction target, thus increasing consumption.
