"The future!"
Tang Xuan slowly uttered two words.
What was his foundation?
His knowledge of the Primordial Era's plot!
It was precisely by relying on this that Tang Xuan had managed to lay his schemes during the Dragon-Han Calamity, luring the three tribal leaders into his trap.
And for the future, Tang Xuan would also need this to carry out one plan after another.
Thus, without a doubt, mastering the future was the top priority.
This, in turn, led to another issue.
At the end of the day, having read the plot in his past life was one thing, but reality wasn't a novel—who knew if everything would be the same?
This matter was of utmost importance. If any part of the plot differed from what he had seen, all his arrangements would be invalidated, and he would lose everything.
Not to mention that even if this Primordial Era world matched the Primordial Era genre novels he had read in his past life, it would still be useless. As he continuously interfered with the operation of the Primordial Era, it would be strange if there were no butterfly effects.
To say nothing else, if Tang Xuan's plan for the Dragon-Han Calamity succeeded, the Primordial Era would undergo earth-shattering changes.
"If I want to grasp the direction of the Primordial Era completely, I need a divine ability—one that allows me to deduce the future. Only then can I ensure nothing goes wrong, and only then can I avoid gambling or guessing based on the Primordial Era's plot."
Tang Xuan thought to himself.
He already had an idea for this divine ability. In fact, before implementing his plan, he had already thought through all of this.
In the Primordial Era, or rather in mythology, there was one divine ability that was most suitable—Foreknowledge of the Future!
One of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, said to be capable of perceiving future events, possessing the power to fathom Heavenly Secrets and foresee the unknown—Foreknowledge of the Future!
What, he didn't know this technique? What to do?
The Wish Origin!
This thing could evolve anything. As long as there was enough origin, no matter what Tang Xuan wanted, he could obtain it.
Raising his rank was important, but he couldn't advance immediately right now. Hoarding the origin without using it was foolish. Naturally, he had to use it on the blade's edge, quickly converting it into a tool to accelerate his growth—that was the most important thing.
"Directly deduce Foreknowledge of the Future? No! The best choice is to enhance my Comprehension!"
"If I only deduce this divine ability, I'll only gain that technique. That won't maximize the benefits."
"If I enhance my Comprehension instead, it's different. I can personally comprehend and deduce this divine ability."
"This process will allow me to gain insights comprehensively, improving my vision, thinking, and all other aspects. It's like the saying, 'Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime'—the same principle."
Tang Xuan murmured to himself.
What, the Wish Origin he possessed wasn't enough to permanently raise his Comprehension that high?
No matter!
Temporary was sufficient. This way, not only would the origin spent be less, but using temporary boosts repeatedly would naturally improve his Comprehension over time. The insights gained would already be there, making this the most cost-effective choice.
The reason he chose Comprehension came from inspiration he had drawn from a Primordial Era genre novel he had read in his past life, titled "You Transmigrate into Tongtian, and the Primordial Era Collapses?"
The protagonist of that novel was utterly ridiculous, using heaven-defying Comprehension to personally craft a Mythical Body and a Mythical Great Luo from scratch.
Tang Xuan certainly didn't expect to achieve that for now, but increasing his Comprehension to enhance his grasp of knowledge in all areas was definitely the right move. This way, creating any divine ability in the future would be much simpler.
"Condense an Avatar to continue gathering the river, while the main body begins deducing Foreknowledge of the Future. Let's make good use of time."
Letting out a breath, Tang Xuan waved his hand, condensed an Avatar, and closed his eyes.
With a single thought, all the Wish Origin was gambled away by Tang Xuan, entirely transformed into a boost for his Comprehension.
In an instant, an intangible roar seemed to sound in Tang Xuan's ears. As his Comprehension was pushed to its peak, he felt as if the Great Daos of the world were laid out before his 'eyes.'
His consciousness seemed to overlook everything in the world from a higher dimension—a vast, boundless tapestry of myriad phenomena, profound and mysterious, wondrous and ineffable, beyond words, beyond description.
It was as if a Gate of All Mysteries slowly opened for Tang Xuan, revealing all the wonders for him to take at will.
Sensing that the Wish Origin was being consumed at an alarming rate, Tang Xuan immediately cast aside all distractions, focusing all his mind solely on the deduction of Foreknowledge of the Future.
In the Primordial Era, years were not counted. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed, and unknowingly, a million years had gone by.
Since they didn't know when Tang Xuan's so-called "ripe moment" would come, Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin, though waiting, had not been idle.
Through a million years of preparation, the lower and middle schemes were already complete and could be activated at any time.
Of course, to avoid alerting the enemy, the three had kept the information within a limited scope, not informing their entire tribes about the possibility of leaving the Primordial Era.
As for who was chosen for the upper scheme to attain the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, there was no doubt—it was Ancestral Dragon!
This was a joint decision by Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin.
It wasn't that they didn't want to attain the Dao themselves, but they knew their limits and had self-awareness.
Ancestral Dragon was naturally a bit stronger than them and quicker in thinking. The best choice could only be Ancestral Dragon.
Otherwise, if Yuan Feng were chosen, Shi Qilin wouldn't agree; if Shi Qilin were chosen, Yuan Feng wouldn't agree. Only Ancestral Dragon could command the respect of all.
In the face of survival and counterattack, the three's original conflicts had naturally been resolved—or rather, temporarily set aside by them.
During this time, Luohu had the Devil Race spread rumors and fan the flames among the three clans in secret, but it was utterly meaningless. Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and Shi Qilin simply treated it as a joke.
Under the alliance of the three clan leaders, these matters fell like a single drop of water into the vast ocean—not even a splash could rise before the three forcefully suppressed them, rendering them completely ineffective.
The three clans' prolonged inaction made the atmosphere of the Primordial Continent grow increasingly tense, as if a storm was brewing, as if a tempest was about to descend. The oppressive air left the countless beings of the Primordial struggling to breathe.
Looking out, the living creatures still active across the Primordial Continent had grown fewer and fewer. In the unseen depths, it felt as though invisible gazes were fixed upon the three clans.
All the beings of the Primordial were waiting for the three clans' response.
The winds and clouds... were about to rise!
