" The future!"
Tang Xuan slowly spat out those two words.
What was the foundation of Tang Xuan's standing?
His understanding of the Primordial World's plot!
It was precisely by relying on this that Tang Xuan had been able to lay out his schemes and lure the leaders of the Three Tribes into the trap during the Longhan Calamity.
And in the future, Tang Xuan would also need to rely on this to carry out one plan after another.
So without a doubt, grasping the future was undoubtedly of paramount importance.
And this involved another problem.
In the end, having seen the plot in his previous life was one thing, but reality was not a novel. Who knew whether everything would unfold the same way?
This matter was of immense importance. If even one part of the plot differed from what he had seen, all his arrangements would be rendered useless, and he would suffer a total defeat.
Not to mention that even if this Primordial World were the same as the Primordial Era genre novel he had read in his previous life, it would still be useless. As he continued interfering with the workings of the Primordial World, it would be a miracle if there were no butterfly effect.
Not to mention anything else, if Tang Xuan's plan for this Dragon-Han Calamity succeeded, the Primordial World would already undergo earth-shaking changes.
"If I want to grasp the direction of the Primordial World completely, I still need a divine ability—a divine ability that can let me deduce the future. Only then can I ensure everything is foolproof. Only then will I no longer have to gamble and guess based on the plot of the Primordial World."
Tang Xuan thought to himself.
Tang Xuan already had an idea for this divine ability. Or rather, he had already thought through all these subsequent matters before carrying out his plan.
There was one divine ability in the Primordial World—or in mythology—that was the most suitable. It was precisely... Foreknowledge of the Future!
One of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, Foreknowledge of the Future was said to be able to see what would happen in the future and possess the ability to discern Heavenly Secrets and know things before they occurred!
What if he didn't know this divine ability?
The Wish Origin!
This thing could evolve anything. As long as he had enough origin, no matter what Tang Xuan wanted, he could obtain it.
Advancing his level was important, but he could not advance immediately right now. Keeping his origin unused would be foolish. Naturally, using it where it mattered and quickly transforming it into a tool to accelerate his growth was the most important thing.
"Should I directly deduce Foreknowledge of the Future? No! The best choice is to improve my comprehension!"
"If I only deduce this divine ability, all I'll obtain is the divine ability itself. That won't maximize my gains."
"If I improve my comprehension, things will be different. I can comprehend and deduce this divine ability myself."
"This process will allow me to gain insights in every aspect, improving my horizons, thought processes, and so on. It's like the saying that teaching someone to fish is better than giving them fish. It's the same principle."
Tang Xuan murmured to himself.
What if the Wish Origin he possessed was insufficient to permanently raise his comprehension to such a high level?
No matter!
A temporary boost would be enough. This would not only consume less origin, but after using temporary boosts often, his comprehension would naturally improve as well. The insights he had already mastered would remain there. That would provide the highest cost-effectiveness.
The reason he had chosen comprehension was because Tang Xuan had gained inspiration from a Primordial Era genre novel he had read in his previous life called "You Asked Me to Become Tongtian, but I Collapsed the Primordial World?"
The protagonist of that novel was outrageously powerful, relying on heaven-defying comprehension to forcibly create a mythical system and become a Mythical Great Luo.
Tang Xuan certainly did not dare hope for such things for now, but increasing his comprehension and improving his mastery of knowledge in various fields could never be wrong. In the future, no matter what divine ability he created, it would become much easier.
"Condense a clone to continue constricting the river. The main body will begin deducing Foreknowledge of the Future. We need to hurry."
After exhaling, Tang Xuan waved his hand, condensed a clone, and closed his eyes.
With a thought, Tang Xuan went all in with the Wish Origin, transforming it all into a boost to his comprehension.
In an instant, an invisible roar seemed to erupt beside Tang Xuan's ears. As his comprehension rose to its utmost limit, it was as though he saw the great paths of the world all appear before his eyes.
His consciousness seemed to be in a higher dimension, looking down upon everything in the world. The myriad phenomena were vast and boundless, profound and mysterious, wondrous beyond words and impossible to describe.
It was as if the Gate of All Mysteries was slowly opening for Tang Xuan, displaying every profundity and allowing him to obtain them at will.
Sensing the Wish Origin rapidly being consumed, Tang Xuan immediately cast aside his distracting thoughts and focused all his mind on specializing in the deduction of Foreknowledge of the Future.
Time was unrecorded in the Primordial World. In the blink of an eye, countless years passed, and before anyone knew it, a million years had gone by.
Because they did not know when Tang Xuan meant by "when the time was ripe," Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin had continued waiting, but none of them had been idle.
After a million years of preparation, their lower and middle plans had already been completed. They could launch them at any time.
Of course, to avoid alerting the enemy, the three had limited the information to a certain range. They had not informed their entire tribes that they might be leaving the Primordial World or anything of the sort.
As for who would be the one to attain the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm selected by the upper method, there was no doubt that it was Ancestral Dragon!
This was a decision Yuanfeng and Shi Qilin had made together.
It was not that they did not want to attain enlightenment themselves. Rather, they knew their own limits and possessed the self-awareness to recognize them.
Ancestral Dragon was already slightly stronger than them, and his mind also worked faster. The best choice could only be Ancestral Dragon.
Otherwise, if they chose Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin would refuse; if they chose Shi Qilin, Yuanfeng would also refuse. The only one who could convince everyone was Ancestral Dragon.
Faced with survival and fighting back, the original conflicts among the three had naturally already been resolved—or rather, had been temporarily set aside by them.
During this period, Luohu had the Demon Race spread rumors and fan the flames in secret among the Three Tribes, but it was naturally meaningless. Ancestral Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin simply treated it as a joke.
With the leaders of the Three Tribes allied, those matters were like a drop of water falling into the sea. Before they could even cause the slightest splash, the three had forcefully suppressed them. They could not have any effect at all.
The prolonged inaction of the Three Tribes also caused the atmosphere in the Primordial World to become increasingly subtle. It was as though a storm was brewing, as if a tempest were about to arrive. The oppressive air made all living beings in the Primordial World feel as though they could hardly breathe.
Looking around, fewer and fewer living beings remained active throughout the Primordial Continent. In the unseen depths, it was as if invisible gazes had focused upon the Three Tribes.
All living beings of the Primordial World were waiting for the Three Tribes' response.
The winds and clouds... were about to rise!
