Chapter 740 - 223: Ninth-Generation Foreknowledge, Ferocious Rookie
For example, predicting the future of an ant 20 days later.
Although the amount of information is relatively small, the time span is large, and more energy is consumed on the time span.
However, predicting the future of an ant colony half an hour later, although the information volume is huge, the time span is short, so the energy consumption focuses on the information collection level rather than the information amplification level brought by the time span.
Secondly, the intensity of individual life also affects energy consumption.
Raising the target from ants to intelligent life significantly increases the complexity of information.
The behavior patterns of ants are relatively simple, mainly driven by instinct, with limited activity range and low information complexity.
Intelligent life has complex logical thinking abilities, and their behaviors are influenced by personal experiences, social environment, cognitive level, emotional changes, and a series of other factors, significantly increasing information complexity.
If intelligent life also has the ability to fly and escape, covering eighty thousand miles in a second, the information volume becomes even more massive.
Because in the next second, a series of events that might happen eighty thousand miles away need to be accounted for.
Therefore, target intensity, time span, event range, and target group all influence the energy consumption of the predictive ability to obtain future information.
The ninth generation of foresight is considered a very powerful Primordial Ability in the eyes of Guidance.
It might even be the strongest Primordial Monster in the Pale Continent Region, and currently, the Player Corps has no ability to contain it.
As for the other forces in the Pale Continent, even if they had the strength, they are unwilling to challenge this Primordial.
West of the Senluo Forest Realm is the territory of the Soul Returning Clan.
But the Soul Returning Clan has never expanded eastward to challenge this obstructive ninth generation Primordial.
Besides needing to pay a heavy price to eliminate this Primordial, the most important reason is that the Soul Returning Clan cannot gain any benefit from killing the Primordial, only incurring negative losses.
The soul beasts created by the Soul Returning Clan can gain all the target’s abilities, including memory, through possession.
But when faced with the embodiment of Monster World rules, even if they kill it, they cannot possess any rule characteristics.
This is also the core reason why "foresight" can always stand on the earth, with no force daring to challenge it, including the Reverse Tide Army having never taken any action against this Primordial Monster.
Another reason is the personality of the Primordial Monster.
Different Primordial Monsters have different personalities, and this one with foresight seems very Zen-like.
It neither expands its territory nor actively kills surrounding life, just quietly roots itself in the earth, consuming the earth’s energy to continuously grow.
Lack of threat is also one reason why foresight has survived until now and grown to the God Realm.
But there is only one core reason.
Foresight allows it to avoid all possible dangers, allowing it to calmly avoid crises before they arrive.
Theoretically, by conducting a foresight deduction for itself every three days,
it can steadily ensure that the next three days always remain in a safe state.
But Guidance also states that there are two insurmountable deductive limitations of foresight rules.
The first limitation is: it cannot deduce the future of "high-level rules."
No matter how strong foresight is, it was once part of the Emperor God.
Therefore, foresight cannot deduce the future of the owner of the Emperor’s Signal Origin, which is his future.
Foresight also cannot deduce the future trajectory of that super God behind the Black Tide.
Regarding this, Guidance explains the principles.
Viewing the world as a network world, when the foresight deduction ability is activated, it automatically consults all the information in the network world related to the deduction content.
More accurately, it issues a command to the network world, and all information related to the deduction target is automatically integrated.
And high-level rules refer to encrypted information in the network world. No matter how many commands foresight issues, it cannot access this portion of encrypted content.
For example, if foresight wants to deduce whether Emperor Zhao will resurrect in the future,
this deduction involves the "Emperor’s Signal Origin," so it cannot obtain this part of the information, and the pieced-together future is no longer accurate.
If the encryption barrier of high-level rules cannot be breached, the future related to high-level rules cannot be deduced.
Moreover, high-level rules not only can encrypt but also have a self-protection mechanism, and any attempt to deduce high-level rules will be blocked or interfered with.
For example, if foresight deduces his future, he will be aware of it.
This process is like someone knocking on the door, asking if they can obtain the information in the room.
Whether or not the door is opened, the act of knocking has already occurred.
So he can know someone is deducing his future. If powerful enough, he can even follow the network cable and give the deducer a hard beating.
The second limitation is: information interference.
The future result deduced by the foresight ability, once exposed to the outside world, will influence the development of events.
Thereby causing the deduced result to become distorted.
In other words, conclusions cannot be exposed to the outside world.
Speaking it out makes it inaccurate.
Creatures that learn of the deduced result and know the future will adjust their behavior based on the "answer," thus changing the course of the future.
Take the real-world energy price, for example.
If the Star Network deduces that energy prices will fall tomorrow and spreads the news, it will indirectly cause energy prices to fall further due to the influence of the foresight.
The result will exceed the expectation foreseen.
The influence of the Star Network determines the direction of the foresight result, so the higher the influence of the target that learns of the deduced conclusion, the greater the factor in changing the deduced conclusion.
