The Star Network immediately analyzed Guide's words.
Borrow the power of the future to face the situation at hand-
"Guide Bro, can I understand it this way? Once Pass Through the Future activates, I can borrow my future self's power and apply it to my present self, increasing my combat strength to face current challenges?"
Guide slowly nodded:
[Correct. Pass Through the Future has two components. One is viewing scenes of the future, but its core component resembles Reversal: it can apply its trait within the time domain. The difference is that one fast-forwards while the other rewinds. In Pass Through the Future mode, the longer you maintain fast-forward, the greater the power you can borrow.]
With that confirmed, the Star Network quickly raised a second question.
"Does activating Pass Through the Future have restrictions like Reversal? For example, does activating it consume energy? And how does borrowing power work?"
[Activation consumes mental power or blood energy, but at a far greater rate than Reversal.]
The Star Network fell silent for two seconds, repeatedly analyzing Guide's words in his mind, then asked again, "Guide Bro, what's the logic behind borrowing future power? The future has countless possibilities. Which future's power am I borrowing?"
This was what concerned the Star Network most.
The future itself was uncertain, which also meant uncertainty in the strength of that power.
Guide glanced at him, seemingly a little impatient, but explained anyway:
[Pass Through the Future works by using all your current information-your combat strength, life soul traits, growth trajectory, and current environment-to extrapolate and map out your most likely future path, then borrow power from the corresponding stage on that future path to aid you in your present battle.]
[So the more rapidly you develop now, the higher the level of combat strength you
