And this undoubtedly gave rise to several very interesting inferences.
First, this inference was connected, in a certain sense, to "spirit-entropy equilibrium" and "time-reversal symmetry."
Changing history might trigger backlash based on the laws of thermodynamics, reducing the stability of one's cultivation and increasing entropy.
In other words, what determined the ability of a powerhouse whose past and future were united in one body to choose history was very likely still the most fundamental "total mana capacity."
This also explained why the Dragon Emperor was so powerful.
At the cost of being inconvenienced in daily life and possibly destroying the world with a single sneeze, the Dragon Emperor had gained mana far beyond that of ordinary precognitives.
Naturally, he also possessed the greatest ability in the entire universe to alter history.
But the question was...
Where did the limits of precognitives who became Silent Immortals lie?
Silent Immortals themselves were entropy increase.
Or rather, Silent Immortals simply did not suffer this kind of backlash based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
If they suffered backlash, they might even grow stronger.
Could the precognitive abilities of Silent Immortals be limitless?
"No, no, no. If that were truly the case, then spiritual power and entropy would be a pair of balanced physical quantities. It was only some kind of symmetry breaking that made their connection appear less obvious..." Wang Qi pondered.
But if this was considered alongside the conjecture of "Eternal True Color reversing temporal order"...
—As the price for replacing spiritual energy, Silent Immortals had to release Eternal True Color to balance the entropy increase that should have occurred.
It was like how the overwhelming majority of a normal precognitive's thoughts remained within normal temporal order, with only part of their essence involving reverse temporal order.
Silent Immortals were not entirely
