Shacha Civilization was certain to win this battle. The Four Emperors would fall; even without Huang Ji, the outcome would be the same.

So Huang Ji did not go. From hundreds of millions of miles away, he made small adjustments to help the Sha Cha People suffer fewer losses.

At the same time, he tested his newly acquired High-Dimensional Communication technology against the accuracy of ancient divination.

Lin Li stared at the tactical display and clapped. "Saya's incredible! He actually killed one of the Emperors outright!"

Huang Ji said calmly, "Of all of you, he works the hardest. He's always honing himself."

Lin Li looked up. "Big Brother, if you foresaw their deaths, why not just say so? Why cover it up with divination? Does anyone believe that stuff?"

Lin Li shuddered. "Big Brother, are you serious?"

Huang Ji nodded. "Science encompasses everything. We can't pretend a rule doesn't exist just because it isn't material."

"In their early days, every species in the universe explored those rules. They developed simple systems to use them, reading all kinds of 'signs' to gauge things they couldn't calculate precisely. They hoped to avoid misfortune, seek good fortune, and understand how events would unfold by knowing their causes."

"Our civilization's Eight Trigrams are one example... Unfortunately, updating the system was so difficult that it stalled at sixty-four hexagrams."

Lin Li had studied Milky Way history too. Though there were no records from before the Star
