"In the past, I always thought that I was a so-called 'rebirth' - that nightmare of doomsday destruction was so realistic and suffocating that I couldn't even think about the true meaning of 'rebirth'."

Meng Chao said, "But the more I try my best to change the future, the more I doubt the concept of 'rebirth'.

"First, unlike time travel, rebirth is not just about me.

"When I was reborn and returned to my boyhood, the whole world was reset. Those undead souls that had long passed away with the wind were all resurrected. Those buildings that had long been reduced to ashes were re-erected in exactly the same way.

On the earth, not even a screw has changed.

"All random events that have ever happened, ranging from a certain strategic decision to a natural or man-made disaster, to someone's smile on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, or even how often a certain butterfly flaps its wings.

Wings - all of these will be repeated with incomparable accuracy.

"I'm not saying that some kind of existence that is far above us, such as 'other world gods and demons', can never do such a thing.

"It's just that to reset the entire world and only retain the memories of a very small number of people, it will inevitably consume an unimaginable amount of energy that is astronomically huge.

"I don't see the point of spending so much energy doing something like this.

"Second, the so-called rebirth and time travel are the same. No matter whether it is technically feasible or not, it is difficult to avoid the emergence of the 'grandparent-grandson paradox' - do you know the 'grandparent-grandson paradox'?"

"I seem to have heard of it."

The Wolf King said, "In my mottled and fragmented dreams, I have read a lot of books from the earth - although the bodies of the people on the earth are generally weak, your books are really interesting and have a magical power that makes people want to read them.

"

"That's good."

Meng Chao said, "Then you should understand that during time travel, it is impossible to kill your grandfather who was not married and had children decades ago.

"Once the grandfather dies before getting married and having children, there will be no father. So, who should give birth to this unscrupulous descendant who plans to kill his grandfather through time travel?

"In the same way, I noticed that what we call 'rebirth' all happens at the moment of doomsday destruction, when ten thousand suns fall from the sky - perhaps, it is the space-based orbital weapons that exploded as huge as ten thousand suns.

Energy makes our souls travel through time and space and return to our youth?

"But after rebirth, we are doing our best to prevent the end of the world from coming, trying to nip the destruction in its infancy.

"The question is, if there is no huge energy provided by these 'ten thousand suns', how can our souls travel through time and space and go back to the past?

"It's a paradox, an endless loop with no solution, isn't it?"

The Wolf King thought for a long time.

I have to admit that Meng Chao is right.

"Yes, we should all be sent back to the past by the flames of doom."

The Wolf King said, "If the end of the world is prevented by us, we will not have the motivation to appear here at all.

"What on earth is going on? I'm completely confused."

"There are even more confused ones."

Meng Chao said, "If the 'reborn theory' is true, then we come from two completely different futures.

"The question is, how can two reborn people from different futures be reborn on the same timeline?

"In other words, when there are mottled and fragmented nightmares floating deep in our brains, with a large number of 'past life memory fragments' hidden in them, who sees the future is real, and who sees it?

Is the future fake again?”

"I have no idea."

The Wolf King sighed and said, "I had no doubts about my past life memory. I believed that if I didn't take action, the future would definitely turn into the nightmare that roars in my mind all the time.

"However, after carefully analyzing the 'other future' you showed me, I have to admit that this future is equally reasonable and reasonable, with no major flaws.

"So, it's your turn to reveal your trump card. Apart from the 'reborn theory', what other theories can help us better understand the world and... our own existence?"

"Originally, I didn't have a more reliable explanation. Until just now, I had a spiritual communication with the sleeping Saint of Ancient Dreams through the crystal barrier. Suddenly, I felt... a sudden enlightenment.

Feel."

Meng Chao said, "I remember that in the process of founding the Great Horn Legion, the Saint of Ancient Dreams excavated several lost temples and earned the first pot of gold for the rat people's righteous deeds.

"We found another valley located at the junction of the Bloodhoof Clan and the Golden Clan that neither side bothered to manage. It was buried deep underground and full of spiritual energy. It served as a secret base for the Big Horn Legion.

"Even when the Great Horn Legion and the Wolf Clan were fighting in a bloody battle, the Saint of Ancient Dreams divinely predicted the Wolf Clan's tactics, the location of the command center, and the storage of a large amount of food and grass. Only then could she prepare for the war.

At the beginning, the wolf clan was killed until they lost all their armor and were in an extremely embarrassed state.

"If I guess correctly, you should have revealed this information to her, and it was through 'dream transmission', right?"

"That's right."

The Wolf King nodded, "When the Saint of Ancient Dreams is in a deep sleep state, her brain is at its most active and most suitable for transmitting various information.

"Besides, I only mastered so much information from the future through an extremely long and vivid nightmare.

"Using the same method to transform this unique rat girl into an ancient dream saint who can predict the future is of course the best.

"From the perspective of the Saint of Ancient Dreams, all these are 'oracles' conveyed to her by the Great Horned Rat God through dreams. Of course she obeys her words and believes them without doubt."

"indeed so."

Meng Chao said, "Then, let us think about this question - if the element of 'Great Horned Rat God' is removed from the dream of the ancient dream saint, only the part of 'foreseeing the future, predicting the future' will be retained, and every time she is

The dream turned into reality, how do you think she would understand the whole thing?

"Does she feel that she is also a reborn person, reborn from a terrible future where the Great Horn Legion was annihilated to a time when nothing has happened yet, and she wants to prevent the tragedy from happening at all costs?"

The Wolf King slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.

He stared at Meng Chao and remained silent for a long time.

"You mean-"

Rat teeth, sharper than wolf teeth, pierced his lips, and blood snaked around, covering his rapidly rising and falling chest, but he seemed not to notice it, and just followed Meng Chao's logic and thought deeply, "There is a certain

A kind of existence... that is more powerful than us, sends a message about the future to the depths of our brains, making us mistakenly believe that we have spent an extremely long life in a nightmare that is both illusion and reality.

"When we wake up from the nightmare, we will naturally think that we are reborn people who have traveled back from the future, shouldering some kind of... sacred and crucial mission?"

"That's right."

Meng Chao nodded.

"In other words, this 'being more powerful than us' has the ability to foresee the future?"

The Wolf King murmured, "Is this possible?"

"Of course it's possible. Even if you are not a special person like you and me who have dreamed of doomsday destruction, any ordinary person can foresee the future."

Meng Chao said, "To give you the simplest example - if you choose a citizen of Dragon City or an orc of Turan at random, I can predict accurately that there is a high probability that he will die within the next hundred years and will definitely not survive for one day.

Thousands of years later.

“I can also predict accurately that tomorrow’s sun will still rise from the east and set from the west.

"One more thing, I predict that the Turan civilization is now like the jungle and the winner is king. It only focuses on mindless fighting but does not pay attention to the inheritance of knowledge and technology. Even if it occasionally achieves victory at the tactical level, it cannot stop the strategy.

The level of continuous degradation, failure and collapse, and finally falling into the abyss of destruction.

"Not enough? Then I will continue to predict - the descendants of rat people will most likely still be rat people, and the descendants of warriors will most likely still be warriors. If the ecological structure of Turanze is not changed, mandala trees will still be allowed to proliferate.

, crowding out the living space of other crops, leaving the Turan civilization forever trapped in the vicious cycle of the 'Era of Prosperity' and the 'Era of Glory'. The Turan Civilization will never have a way out.

"Even if there are no raging flames falling from the sky, the end will definitely appear in another way in the near future.

"Similarly, if the Dragon City civilization cannot have a deep understanding of this world and seriously think about how to survive in a mysterious world with extraordinary power, it will instead cling to the inherent knowledge of the earth age and think that it relies on the so-called

If the torrent of steel can sweep through thousands of armies and conquer the world.

"Even if there are a few more powerful gods in Dragon City, or if we rely on ancient ruins to create more advanced weapons and equipment, or even if we are lucky enough to escape the imminent doomsday with our efforts, in the near future, the doomsday will still be there.

It will continue to appear, and destruction or self-destruction is a high probability event.

"Look, I can make so many predictions casually, and the accuracy rate is at least 50%. What's so big about this?"

The Wolf King was about to speak but stopped.

"I know, you want to say that these 'prophecies' I made are too rough and general, not as lifelike and full of details as the future we see in nightmares, right?"

Meng Chao smiled slightly, "This is because the information I have is not rich enough, far from enough.

"Let me randomly select a citizen of Dragon City who has never been masked before, and I can only roughly guess that he will definitely die within the next three to five hundred years.

"But it would be best if I could see what he looks like and have an in-depth understanding of his living habits, daily diet recipes, occupational risk factors, family genetic history, and his most detailed physical examination report and hospitalization history in the past ten years.

It also allows me to use my spiritual power to comprehensively scan his internal organs, limbs, and meridians. In short, it allows me to master all the data about his physical condition.

"I will certainly be able to draw a more precise conclusion.

"Although on a certain individual basis, my 'prophecy' is likely to be wrong.

"But if it is to predict the average life span of a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand ordinary citizens, and let me have all the data about their physical conditions, I believe that the accuracy of the 'prediction' will be as high as one

Very scary level.

“If a person’s lifespan can be predicted, can the future of a certain city or even a certain civilization be predicted?

"Of course you can.

“This does not require any ‘supernormal or prophetic’ power. It only requires enough initial data and strong enough calculation and deduction capabilities.

“Many super companies and major institutions in Dragon City have ‘strategic planning departments’ that are responsible for collecting data and predicting the future.

“In the areas they are most familiar with and good at, the success rate of this kind of ‘strategic planning’ is very high.

"It has been discovered that a certain valley contains an astonishing spar vein. It is predicted that in the near future, a satellite industrial town with mining, smelting, and manufacturing as its core will be built around this spar vein. It can even be determined by the approximate reserves.

and quality, what’s so surprising about predicting the population size of this satellite industrial town?

"Similarly, I believe that you and your confidants have also deduced and tried to control the future countless times - your miraculous rise, using the Big Horn Legion to support the bandits' self-respect, stirring up trouble between the ligers and tigers, and reaping the benefits.

Use the inheritance of the Holy Mountain to intimidate the five major clans and control the hegemony of Turanze.

"I believe that the success of this series of ten-year plans is not entirely dependent on the fragmented and mottled nightmare guidance, but more on your own, based on current information, repeated deductions and careful calculations.
