Chapter 293. Hints in the Letter

What does this mean? Is there any danger associated with number 1?

As Jiang Jianxin swung the black stick to clean up the pollutants, he asked his intuition.

With the aid of the suona, the Grim Reaper's Scythe seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and she didn't need to spend any effort aiming; it just started slaughtering on its own.

She was also able to distract herself and carefully inquire into the deeper meaning behind her intuition's vague words.

The essence of truth is something akin to a source of pollution, and number 1 is the closest thing to truth.

"Intuition tells me."

[Closeness implies a probability of being corrupted and becoming part of the truth, which is the greatest danger to the one in power at position number 1.]

Jiang Jianxin understood what it meant; facing the source of pollution directly sounded like a high-risk position.

So she chose to fake her death to escape this easily corrupted serial number?

Intuition paused for a moment, then added:

[Besides escaping the sequence number, she chose death for another reason—to stop the spread of contamination within the predicted sequence.]

Seeing Jiang Jianxin's puzzled expression, it explained:
[In addition to directly confronting the contamination of truth, sequence number 1 also serves as a bridge, transitioning the contamination of truth into the entire sequence of foreknowledge.]

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jianxin's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had just remembered something.

I've heard many people from the Light Sect talk about how the Omniscient Sequence is thriving, while the Precognitive Sequence is suffering from a talent shortage. Nowadays, there are very few new Precognitives. The most powerful Precognitive giant has become a little boy who can see flashbacks of murders, not to mention those weaklings who can't even understand the next three days.

The current state of the entire predictive sequence is quite amusing.

Everyone is laughing at the demise of the predictive sequence, but no one has thought deeply about the underlying reasons.

—Is it really just that they simply can't awaken the ability to foresee the giants?
—Or is it because of the appearance of number 1 that the entire predictive sequence has already been corrupted by the truth?
As a subtle thought seemed about to touch upon the truth itself, Jiang Jianxin almost bit his cheek as he asked:
[Is the precognitive sequence already corrupted, with only the lower-level omniscient ones surviving?]

Yes. Because there is a fundamental law in the world called "ignorance is no excuse," which can restrain the truth and protect the ignorant from the coercion of truth.

The intuitive answer was cold and direct, as if the memories buried deep in the past were rushing back all at once.

Ten years ago, the Light Realm was just as lively as the Omniscient Sequence, but under the interference of the Truth, the world's first Sequence Number 1 was born, and the pollution spread to the entire Predictive Sequence through Sequence Number 1.

Humanity assimilated into the truth will be forgotten by the world, as if it never existed.

Gradually, in people's minds, the predictive sequence has been quite decadent since its origin.

In this feast devoured by the circle of truth, the prophet should be swallowed up as the most delicious dessert on the table after he has finished playing his role.

The truth at that time was connected to the prophets only because, as the only branch of truth capable of directly projecting signals downwards, it acted as a mouthpiece in that conflict.

That's why the prophets of yesteryear didn't bother with it.

However, although it is also a branch of truth, the answer truth has a more neutral meaning because it possesses the "answer".

In the hunt of the true essence, it watched the entire game from the perspective of an observer, without participating in the joint hunt of the major truths.

Like it, Time Truth is also neutral. Because it has been neutralized by banding together, Answer Truth understands this cowardly colleague all the more.

"How could this be?" Jiang Jianxin said in disbelief.

Even if the future is a tree, a tree has a trunk. Some futures are inevitable; if not her, then someone else. At least, as number 1, she has already propelled the world towards the best possible future.

"Intuition tells me."

I don't know the specifics of what the future will hold, but I can say with certainty that the premonition sequence back then basically predicted that everyone would be eaten. If she hadn't died at just the right time, there wouldn't even be a premonition sequence now.

The reason why Yuzhijia was able to safely jump off the dining table as a snack was largely because she had planned her death so well that it provided the opportunity for that person to intervene.

In the four worlds, she is usually referred to as the Goddess of Death or the Goddess of Death and Silence, but in the outer realms, her more formal full name is "Throne of Death Order and End".

If anyone can press the stop button on this pollution, it is only the God who holds the power to end it.

If the omniscient sequence produces a sequence number 1, and history repeats itself, Truth might learn from past mistakes and avoid employing the previous hunting tactics, thus giving the Throne of Ending an opportunity to intervene—but it's too early to say for sure; who knows if the omniscient can produce a sequence number 1?

Intuition speaks frankly.

Jiang Jianxin was momentarily dazed. Hearing the information her intuition told her about that year, she couldn't help but recall the letter her family had sent her long ago.

There was a very strange sentence in the letter that she couldn't understand but always remembered:

Avoid excessive contact with those in the Light faction. If you must make friends, the Fool sequence is a good choice; the Fool society is your safe haven—at least for now, "they" are still under the control of the Fools.

This statement was vague and even somewhat ahead of its time. After all, the other party had read the entire letter written to her from the future. Although they had tried their best to use language and methods appropriate for her era, Jiang Jianxin still found it confusing.

However, combining what her intuition had just told her, if the ignorant are protected by the principle of "ignorance is no excuse," then no matter how many methods and tricks the truth employs, or how severely it intrudes, it cannot interfere with the foolish.

However, this interpretation is based on the premise that the omniscient sequence will actually produce a sequence number 1 in the future.

The faction of light will once again face disaster.

"Om————"

At the edge of Tingyu Pool, golden light shot into the sky, and a deafening buzzing sound spread out like waves.

The observation deck was already crowded with singers holding instruments, and some musicians who hadn't made it there yet were still playing their hearts out in the transmission circle in the distance.

This polluted area, which had devoured countless lives, underwent a visible transformation only now due to the deep penetration of this powerful individual.

All around, thousands of Rose Group armed troops stood ready, and all mortars, cannons and machine guns had ceased fire.

A sense of tension and anticipation mingled in the air as everyone held their breath, gazing intently at the center of the pool, awaiting the final outcome.

"boom------"

Suddenly, a giant wave tens of meters high burst open on the surface of the pool, and water sprayed down like a torrential rain. Golden light burst forth, illuminating the sky with dazzling brilliance.

"Open the protective shield!"

A command rang out from the army, and a white energy shield instantly deployed, isolating the cascading lake water and protecting all weapons and equipment.

As the golden light faded, a figure slowly emerged.

The letter to the home is in chapter 60.
