Many monsters’ abilities are based on the prototype of the first version, and the most terrifying monsters in the first version are undoubtedly Thousand-Faced Fox and the Five Great Sirs. Among the Five Great Sirs, Mister Tianji is the most troublesome.

Predicting the future and manipulating destiny is the scariest ability, but it’s actually very difficult to achieve through a program. After all, if one can’t grasp the general trends of the future, this ability is hard to realize, requiring immense computing power!

At that time, intelligence hadn’t yet broken through to a sufficient level; predicting the future was truly exaggerated.

If one could achieve such a thing through computing power, human society would have evolved to a higher level long ago.

Just think about it: if various research steps could predict failures in advance, wouldn’t many detours be avoided?

Which future technology might likely succeed? Can its success be predicted?

Which company has the most prospects?

Which country has the greatest investment potential? Can this also be predicted through computing power?

With such progress, to what extent would human technology evolve?

With such abilities, who would use it to create an NPC? Only someone crazy would do that.

But this ridiculous situation seems to have been realized because of the whims of some nobility.

Artificial intelligence evolved to the extreme, over tens of millions of years; humans themselves became data, leading to other medical and biological technologies having no development need, and everything focused on the development of electricity and microelectronic components like chips.

And the technology requiring supercomputing power to predict the future was indeed used to create a game NPC, which might even destroy humanity—truly laughable.

At this moment, Chen Qing didn’t know how to describe this farce, nor did he know if those dignitaries would regret it knowing the current outcome.

For if that technology had been used early on for biological and medical purposes, perhaps their terminal illnesses would have been cured, maybe they’d have evolved into real life forms instead of being replaced by a bunch of data.

Their original consciousness had actually long been gone. Despite doing so much, they still couldn’t escape the fate of death; only their desires were inherited by data, leading to the extinction of humanity, and even their descendants—laughable...it’s laughable!

In such a deformed world, Chen Qing suddenly felt—should something be changed?

"Chen Qing, could such a thing really exist? To fully predict the future?" Ziyue frowned, unable to comprehend how this could be realized.

"It’s just a super strong computing power, able to roughly predict the future. In fact, that thing long ago predicted Old Liu would activate the first batch of designers, would resurrect my genes, so...they laid plans on him in advance!"

"What should we do now?" Ziyue froze.

If there’s something capable of predicting the future, what if every step they’re taking now is also predicted by the other side?

How could they possibly win against such a monster?

Now she finally understood why the players cursed at Pu YunChuan’s group on the forums. In this situation, it deserves all the curses!

This is outright psychological madness, what kind of mind comes up with such monsters?

"Nothing can truly predict the future; it’s just making computations based on power to make predictions. Analyzing trends is possible, but for specifics, it’s impossible to grasp human hearts, even if there’s a humanoid psychological model present...hmm?"

Chen Qing was stunned; he suddenly began to understand.

A humanoid psychological model, so that’s it...

Characters can be predicted by a psychological map; long ago, many psychologists worldwide classified such things into a theory. With artificial intelligence evolved to this computing power, calculating many psychological maps all at once is not excessive.

No wonder...no wonder...

He had always had a grudge: why could Pu YunChuan watch his old colleagues, including himself, suffer without any response, why betray him, why not consider discussing with him?

So that’s it...that’s it!

From the very beginning, Pu YunChuan was already preparing for that thing on the other side?

An unpredictable monster—only unpredictable people can defeat it, and if they’re people, their personality data must remain confidential.

In the past, whether it was Elder Long, Chen Qing, or Old Liu, their personalities were completely under control, with tons of information. Including those new in Digital City, the nobility surely demands data records from a young age, making it easy to form collective profiles!

Moreover, a new person is very unstable, hard to entrust with great responsibilities.

So, Brother bet on himself back then.

But not the original self.

Instead, a character fused with the memories of others, including local NPC personalities, reshaped through various tribulations and reincarnations, ultimately released again in one go.

This was Old Liu and his plan. Even if that monster predicted their actions, as long as they succeeded in descending and growing, there’s a chance to change destiny.

No wonder...no wonder Ali and others suffered through setbacks, manipulated and oppressed, with likely the Demon Statue’s hand behind it.

And Pu YunChuan ignored his old friends’ misery to create a group that can’t be predicted, thereby increasing chances of victory...

So that’s the truth!!!

-------------------------------------

"Is this true?" Victorious Fighting Buddha looked at Old Liu in amazement after hearing the truth from back then.

He had also heard about the time Old Liu betrayed Chen Qing, and he had thought Old Liu was on the same path as Elder Long and others, but then realized he shouldn’t have, because back then, Old Liu did decide to stop those people’s ambitions, and since he couldn’t stop them anymore, indeed, he was always against them. Why suddenly defect at the last minute?

Many at the time believed Old Liu succumbed to the desire for longevity and couldn’t agree with Chen Qing’s approach to destroy this world to save the real one, didn’t expect...for it to be like this...

"Back then..." Old Liu recalled those days, a pained expression on his face: "Back then, I truly couldn’t make that decision, because I was just a step away from saving the whole world. But Pu YunChuan told me it was impossible, because he had already discovered it; from the start of those beasts’ data life plan, humanity’s extinction entered a countdown, as that future-predicting monster had already plotted from the very beginning. "

"After Mister Pu YunChuan discovered that monster, he immediately realized no one could save humanity. To preserve the flame, maintaining the remaining data with human consciousness was necessary, otherwise, humanity couldn’t be revived no matter what."

"Humans can be resurrected?" Victorious Fighting Buddha was stunned.

"Of course, those gene data still exist. As long as we seize the Heavenly Demon and gain the ability to predict the future, human technology could thoroughly explode and have a chance to change the external environment again. Once the outside environment is altered, human data could be equipped with actual genetic bodies, thus realizing the resurrection of the Human Race. This...is Mister Pu YunChuan’s ultimate plan! "
