You've always believed in the saying, "Passing through a sea of flowers, not a single petal clings to you."
"It's time to embark on a new adventure... but before that, we need to be on our guard."
In three years, that naturally born genius from the Yuantian Realm will advance to the seventh realm.
You must stop him. This is not only to save your life, but also to save his.
[The Yuantian Realm is currently unable to give birth to True Immortals!]
To prevent the butterfly effect from causing the other party to prematurely ascend to the position of the ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period, you began to foresee the future twice a day more than ten years ago, once every 12 hours and once 27 hours in the future.
In that future, you do nothing but wait, waiting for the vision to appear.
"Everything seems to be normal so far."
From this moment forward until that person ascends to the position of the ruler of the Spring and Autumn Period, you do not intend to undergo any further training. You must always ensure that you perform at your full potential.
"Speaking of that person, the information about them in that simulation was also quite vague. Their advancement to the seventh realm seemed rather abrupt; before that, they hadn't caused any trouble like other chosen ones."
"He's most likely an ascetic who gathered resources alone and cultivated slowly in a safe place, eventually advancing to the seventh realm."
[You previously tried to find that immortal in the myriad realms of Yuan Tian, but without any relevant information, you had no starting point. The Yuan Tian realm, with its light-year scale, is simply too vast.]
[Furthermore, putting aside the size of the Yuantian Realm, if he were currently in any lower realm, with its millions or even tens of millions of small worlds... how could you possibly find them all?]
"He's probably in the process of rebuilding his cultivation, but he's only a Fifth Realm True King, a True King who's currently condensing his Dao Seal. There are too many True Kings in the entire Yuan Tian Realm to determine which one it is."
"Where am I supposed to find this?"
"Unless I have to use a carpet bombing method to see which people I kill will develop Stage 2 cultivation, and then check if the Dao Seals on those Stage 2 people are close to multiples of 36, the kind that are close to becoming immortals."
"However, the destructive power of a widespread bombing would be reduced, only leveling hundreds of thousands of miles of land. If he were deep underground or in some special forbidden area, he wouldn't be able to be harmed by the numerous obstacles."
"But a concentrated attack would only destroy a small area at once, and he might even detect it from afar and quickly escape, hiding in some lower realm or other place I've already bombed."
"It's a bit troublesome, and very energy-consuming," you frowned.
But a moment later, it dawned on you that you had entered a dead end.
【"……wrong."】
"There are still ways to find him in advance."
[With the year 3500 drawing ever closer, in a moment of inspiration, you've come up with some ideas.]
"One person's strength may be too insignificant. Even for someone like me, whose combat power is comparable to a number followed by 17 zeros, it would be difficult to find him in the multiple foreseen futures."
"But why should I be alone?"
[You've been avoiding the five ancient immortals of Yuantian, even staying away from the Yuantian Domains in the central area of the Yuantian Realm, just causing trouble on the outskirts.]
[I'm afraid they'll target me, making it impossible for me to escape from this realm, and might even attract Bai He prematurely.]
However, in the foreseeable future, you will be able to freely contact them and utilize their power to accomplish things that you could not do on your own!
"The power of friendship is boundless!"
"There's no time to lose!"
[Thus, in a certain future, you sought out the five ancient immortals of Yuantian.]
The easiest person to find is Zuo Tianxin. On a martial arts arena, you see him wiping the cold sweat from his brow while carefully observing the formidable opponent he's about to face—that opponent is probably at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm.
[You interrupted his reading of information about a powerful enemy at the second realm, quickly subdued him using methods such as allocating attribute points to his core, and informed him of some things.]
"I am a time traveler who has returned from the future. In the future, around 3500 years from now, a new True Immortal will be born in the Yuan Tian Realm. His departure will attract a great enemy called the Calamity Beast. We must not let him leave the Yuan Tian Realm, as the Calamity Beast is nearby!"
"Fortunately, I've returned to the present, carrying the hopes of the entire Yuan Tian Realm. I will change everything and stop that person from becoming an immortal!"
"Really?" Zuo Tianxin hesitated, then disappeared from your sight.
[And then he never came back.]
【you:"……"】
"You went to peek outside the Yuan Tian Realm and got crushed to death by Bai He, right?"
You ended this future and started a new game.
After dozens of attempts and trials, you finally succeeded in summoning the five ancient immortals to your presence within the first ten minutes of the 75th future, and persuaded them using the evidence they had provided in previous futures.
[Then you gave them a collective boost to their skill points, allowing them to quickly comprehend the principles of investigation and finding people, and mobilized all available resources to begin a comprehensive search of the Yuan Tian Domain.]
The most efficient way to conduct a census is, of course, to cast a wide net. Knowing that your time for prediction is limited, you have everyone gather and enter a single Yuantian Domain to conduct the census.
[Propaganda was carried out in various places, and people were called out, with a particular focus on finding people around the fifth realm.]
[All the mobilized beings from the Six Realms and Five Realms lined up, tearing apart the earth inch by inch, venturing into the lower realms, and causing chaos and upheaval.]
In each predicted future, the 28-hour window only allowed for the exploration of a range of tens of billions of miles.
[Every time a new prediction game starts, you have the investigators continue their investigation from where they were last time.]
The five ancient immortals projected their consciousness across the entire Yuantian Realm, preventing any cultivator at the fourth or fifth realm from crossing the Yuantian Barrier.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times...
[The general survey of the Boundless Divine Realm has been completed, and three suspicious targets have been discovered.]
[The general survey of the Boundless Wasteland has been completed; a suspicious target has been discovered.]
[Purple Domain, Eternal Heavenly Emperor Domain, Rippling Domain, Universe Emperor Domain...]
[The Void Zone at the top of the Six Heavens, the Silent Life Zone at the bottom of the Five Heavens.]
From the edge of the world to the Earth's core.
I searched and searched, over and over again.
[Several times later, the five immortals moved too wildly, attracting Bai He's attention.]
Although each time you foresee the future, it may take more than twenty hours, in reality it will only take you a fleeting moment.
You can make millions of predictions per second, the only limitation being that the amount of information received at any given moment cannot be too large, otherwise your mind cannot withstand it.
Finally, the census is complete, leaving no blind spots, including the lower realm.
