Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators
Dream-Making Expert
The elder’s answer left the youth stunned.
If not even that counted as a Variable, then what was a Variable?
“Tianyuan.”
“Do you know what a Variable is?”
The elder withdrew his gaze from the night sky and looked at his young disciple.
The youth named Tianyuan answered at once. “A Variable is the unpredictable, the uncertain, the infinite possibility within a finite world.”
“A good answer.”
The elder nodded slightly.
“Since you know what a Variable is, then you should naturally also know that the Sword Princess and the Reincarnators she brought with her cannot possibly count as Variables regardless.”
“Because they can be predicted, they are already certain, and they cannot bring infinite possibilities to this world.”
Tianyuan understood the elder’s meaning, murmuring to himself, then in an instant became lost and helpless.
“But Teacher, if even they are not Variables.”
“Then what exactly is the Variable you speak of?”
“I don’t know.”
The elder shook his head. “Because no one can calculate a Variable. Not even thirty thousand years ago, before the Sky Abyss changed.”
“And the reason I say a Variable exists.”
“Is also very simple.”
“Our world has already fallen into a dead end. Only a Variable can save it.”
“Or to put it more simply.”
“Tianyuan, with what we have now, only relying on the Divination Sacred Artifact left behind from before the Sky Abyss Cataclysm to observe and deduce countless things.”
“We are seen as possessing the ability of Divine Calculation, and so our status is exalted, relied upon and heavily used.”
“Then how many legendary Immortals and Gods do you think possessed the ability of Divine Calculation thirty thousand years ago, during the Great Flourishing of All Dharmas?”
“Could it really be that no one calculated that the Sky Abyss Cataclysm would happen?”
Tianyuan was shocked, looking at the elder in disbelief.
“Someone must have calculated it.”
“Even if truly no one calculated the occurrence of the Sky Abyss Cataclysm.”
“Could the Heavenly Dao itself not calculate it?”
The elder sighed softly. “I have read the ancient texts left in the ruins, and know that the method of Divine Calculation actually has three levels.”
“Like you and I, relying on Dharma Treasures or divine abilities that can divine and deduce, and thereby peering into heavenly secrets, penetrating karma.”
“It seems we can calculate and predict, but in truth it is merely the lowest of methods.”
“Higher still is to gain the Heavenly Dao’s favor, and thereby forever be one step ahead, forever foreseeing like a god.”
“Because once heaven knows and earth knows, then you know and I know.”
