Chapter 1162: The Battle Ahead

All calculations are inseparable from what is known. The most basic example is that in the decimal system, one plus one equals two. If there is no one plus one, there will be no so-called two.

Therefore, what is known is the premise of the deduction result. The affairs of the world, especially human affairs, are essentially a probability problem. Pure numerical problems are not very meaningful in interpersonal relationships. You were friends before, but it does not necessarily prove that you are still friends now.

The more you know, the more possibilities you can deduce. This is an irrefutable truth. Even if many of the extra possibilities are wrong, it is still a possibility.

Even saints cannot escape this truth. The reason why saints are "omniscient and omnipotent" is because they are in harmony with the Tao, and the Tao circulates, so they can know almost everything. Because they know, they can arrange in advance, so they appear omnipotent.

This principle has been mentioned many times before when introducing the Destiny Star Plate. The Destiny Star Plate uses the law of cause and effect as the basis for deduction, and spreads out through the cause and effect of Wu Yi's body. The more Wu Yi knows about the people who come into contact with him, the more accurate the deduction results will be, and even the fate can be calculated.

However, the basis of the Chaos Beast's deduction is not cause and effect. If we have to use a word to describe it, it is the human heart.

The part of the memory that Wu Yi transferred to the Chaos Beast only explained the reason why Taotie went to the West Sea, and his own experience during that period. The things about entering the Blood Demon Realm were deleted by Wu Yi.

Through this memory, ordinary people can only know the general process. There is no more, isn't it blind!

However, the Chaos Beast was able to analyze Wu Yi's view of Taotie through the slight changes in Wu Yi's process of saving Taotie, and infer Taotie's view of Wu Yi, and further deduce Taotie's possible choices after separating from Wu Yi.

The Chaos Beast used its innate magical powers to calculate Taotie's possible choices. Wu Yi didn't look closely, and his eyes glanced over it, and there were more than 10,000 possibilities.

Are you curious? Taotie's choice is nothing more than two possibilities: leaving or staying where he is. Why are there more than 10,000 possibilities?

This is because the Chaos Beast is calculating Taotie's psychological endurance limit, whether he has the perseverance to wait for several years, or if he doesn't see Wu Yi return for a long time, he thinks that Wu Yi has been buried in the depths of the West Sea and has gone away alone.

What is the possibility of waiting where he is?

What is the possibility of leaving?

When will he leave?

In which direction will he leave?

What is the possibility of encountering danger in different directions?

…

It must be said that many deductions are very subjective, including forward deduction, reverse deduction, similar deduction, and even the connection of two things that are unrelated in Wu Yi's eyes.

However, in the absence of information, it is still a possibility and a direction, and it cannot be said that there is no basis at all. Those with problems can be eliminated one by one.

The Chaos Beast's intention to gather the four evils and get promoted to a higher position is clearly revealed in this move.

The Chaos Beast's ability seems to be of little use, but in fact it is not. It is a waste to spend this ability on finding Taotie. This ability should be used to command a large army of heavenly soldiers.

He glanced at the Chaos Beast with his eyes slanted. The other party should understand Wu Yi's thoughts and said, "Just for reference. Based on the content you gave, we can only deduce these!"

The implication seems to be that Wu Yi should say more, but it is naturally wishful thinking. Wu Yi gave such a memory to dispel his worries. Wow, he wrote so many chapters and actually deduced so many. The possibilities listed almost revealed all of Wu Yi's thoughts at that time, which was too scary.

Anyway, after this time, Wu Yi would never let the Chaos Beast get his memory again. God knows what he will analyze and whether he still needs the mystery.

The premise of using the emperor's mind is to maintain the emperor's mystery. Without the mystery, the so-called Son of Heaven is just an ordinary mortal.

However, Wu Yi looked at the Chaos Beast, with his ingenious mind, it was impossible that he had not anticipated this result. Since he calculated that Wu Yi would be on guard against it, he still did so, which was to leave a concept in Wu Yi's mind, that is, the Chaos Beast's magical powers were extraordinary, he could use it, and he needed to be wary of it.

Seeing through it but not saying it, while walking towards the place where he and Taotie separated in the past, he was observing the possibilities given by the Chaos Beast. After seeing it, Wu Yi even outlined a clear route in his mind.

If a person with a weak mind sees such a ready-made route, he will probably lose his rationality and think that by following these routes and following the map, he can successfully meet with Taotie.

What people should not lose the most is the ability to think for themselves. Blindly following is not advisable. No matter what the other party's status or identity is, you also need to think about it in your mind. What is the background of others to achieve the so-called success? Can you copy it? Most of the time, it is not possible, but is there no reference value at all? That's not the case. The key lies in thinking.

Again, the Chaos Beast was able to deduce so much content thanks to a piece of memory given to him by Wu Yi. Even without the Chaos Beast's deduction, Wu Yi could still deduce hundreds of possibilities in his mind, and they would be more accurate because Wu Yi had more memories.

One plus one equals two. Now the Chaos Beast is just like knowing how to add one, while Wu Yi at least knows that there is a plus sign in the middle. This step can save Wu Yi a lot of effort, and he doesn't have to list and deduce like the Chaos Beast.

Of course, his ability to deduce proves his strength.

The possibilities listed by the Chaos Beast are just for Wu Yi's reference, and it is impossible to determine Wu Yi's plan. In terms of deduction, the Heart Demon Body is also a good hand, and its understanding of people's hearts is not inferior to that of the Chaos Beast.

In the subsequent journey, Wu Yi did not completely follow the best route planned by the Chaos Beast. In fact, it can be regarded as partially rejecting the Chaos Beast's suggestions in practice.

The Chaos Beast understands that Wu Yi has a strong mind and is unwilling or disgusted to be controlled by others. In the subsequent journey, he was also much quieter, and more often followed Wu Yi.

It's just that for Wu Yi, it's not difficult to reject the Chaos Beast's suggestions, but it's difficult to prove that the path he chooses is better than the path planned by the Chaos Beast.

This is an important opportunity to demonstrate one's own prestige and should never be underestimated.
