Chapter 382: Unexpected Variable (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
```
Everyone present was a Master of Miracles, and even if they weren't, they were still Miracle Creatures, top-tier beings with Infinite Power.
This also meant that simply relying on future sight and the capture of fate's trajectory, no prophet could see the content of the Kings' Meeting.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
You have to know, there are over 100 Masters of Miracles here.
So many people gathering here caused an almost unimaginably massive interference with the Power of Destiny.
"In other words, you've never seen yourself, at this moment, in this place, challenging the person before you with the words you just said, have I got that right?"
Since the Kings' Meeting cannot be seen, then the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate must have never witnessed himself confronting Bailuo, therefore, her so-called 'pleading Bailuo by any means' is groundless.
"Let's not talk about the fact that you are not yet complete, even if you were," the Cain Empress challenged, "How can you be certain that you have tried every possible method, and what you've seen, is indeed his future?!"
Actually, just as the Cain Empress said, the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate had never personally witnessed Bailuo.
This is also the strangest part, even the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate was somewhat confused.
"You and I are both prophets, so you should understand why I would make such a judgment," said the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate, "I use my own calculations, focusing on our intersections, and I've reached my conclusion based on various possibilities."
The Cain Empress responded, "That's incomplete."
"Yet, it's the only way to calculate the Masters of Miracles." Both women were even-tempered Masters of Miracles, but when it came to their fields of expertise, neither would give an inch.
"It seems I need to speak up."
The Sky King, with even more experience than both women, had lived for over five thousand years and was a powerful Master of Miracles on the verge of the Fifth Awakening.
"Let's start by asking the Heavenly Mandate," said the Sky King, "Do you mean that you first set a premise, such as 'befriending him,' 'becoming his enemy,' 'requesting from him,' 'apologizing to him,' and so on, and then watch the outcome for that specific scenario?"
"Yes, Senior Sky King."
Miya controls time, the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate has the ability of divination, and the Cain Empress is of the prophet profession.
Compared to them, the Sky King's miracle is called the Destiny Clay Tablet, which, although Lower Tier, is actually more powerful in the realm of the Power of Destiny than all three of them.
Even the Cain Empress, a Master of Miracles from the Upper Tier, felt that the Sky King's words carried weight.
It was like two freshmen encountering a junior—The senior had read a few more years' worth of books and had more experience.
"May I ask then what you used as a reference?"
"The premise is a change of face, the first reference is Grand Duke Yatun," the Sky King nodded to Bailuo, who returned the gesture before the King continued, "So what was the result, what did you see exactly?"
"My Domain, and this world, the Miracle World!"
The Sky King was silent for a while, and when he did not speak, naturally, no other Master of Miracles would either.
"Well, this, it seems somewhat irrational."
There were about ten prophet-type Kings present, who immediately noticed the non-necessity in the results caused by the variable introduced by the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate.
"I see."
The Cain Empress understood instantly; Bailuo furrowed his brows, but fortunately, his uncle provided a timely explanation, "If the outcome is unrelated to the variable, then the divination would be meaningless."
What is the meaning of the outcome being unrelated to the change of face?
To put it simply, if a person is destined to die, then instead of you seeing how or when the person dies, you see where the person is buried.
If he had purchased the grave decades ago, then no matter what happened in the interim, he would still end up buried there.
"The cataclysmic ending is fixed; no matter what is done, disaster will inevitably erupt."
Bailuo understood, "But an ending is an ending, it can't prove that this ending was caused by me, on the contrary..."

Conversely, if the outcome can't be changed no matter how the variables are altered, does that mean the final scene of doom is actually unrelated to Bailuo?
"This..."
The Marquis of Heavenly Mandate was not looking to make an enemy of Bailuo, but to discuss the matter objectively, although with some of his own subjective thoughts. However, once he identified a problem, he would still admit his shortcomings: "Senior is right, I've been too focused on that outcome, neglecting the logic in between."
"Even so,"
the Sky King shifted his tone: "The destructive end that you have foreseen, I concur with that conclusion!"
"Because I have seen it too."
The Sky King looked around and said, "Everyone should have a sense of the level of a Celestial Decree, and I suppose all the Prophets seated here have already calculated it many times over by themselves. I would like to ask here, has anyone ever come up with a second result?"
The Prophets were all highly intelligent individuals. That was why his uncle told him there was no need to prepare anything, just go ahead—that was the reason.
Prophets were not enemies; on the contrary, they were likely to help Bailuo clarify his thoughts.
Two heads are better than one; one person's perspective on a problem is often not as comprehensive as a group's. Bailuo did not need to see himself as a criminal, but as someone posing a question.
As for the Prophets, they were precisely the external support here to help Bailuo solve the problem.
"No."
This was Feng Xi, who had already given up: "I see no hope at all."
"Nor have I."
The Marquis of Heavenly Mandate sat down, while also glancing at the Cain Empress.
Unfortunately, this time even the Cain Empress could not offer Bailuo any assistance: "Regrettably, I see the same as a Celestial Decree."
The Sky King shook his head; it was his first time encountering such a troublesome situation, almost as if the tracks of destiny were locked in place.
"Though the Ancient Emperor is not present," Feng Xi said, "he too foresees the same end."
"Even the Ancient Emperor..."
At this, many of the seasoned Masters of Miracles showed a look of surprise; they truly had not expected that even the Ancient Emperor had not calculated a way out.
"What's going on?"
Seeing the assembly of Prophets begin to exchange their calculated outcomes, Bailuo did not know whether this was a good or bad thing, so he could only seek advice from Ying Muyao and his uncle.
"It's good!"
Ying Muyao said, "If all the Prophets have seen a destructive end, then it means you might escape being implicated."
Why so?
Prophets have great faith in their judgments, but if the apocalyptic fate cannot be changed no matter what, is there really any need for them to make an enemy out of Bailuo?
To make things difficult for Bailuo, to eliminate him in advance, to strike directly, to attack en masse...
Haven't the Prophets considered these scenarios?
Just like the Marquis of Heavenly Mandate, she had already faced Bailuo as an enemy countless times in her own divinations and had witnessed with her own eyes how this choice, through the trajectories of the children's fates and eyes, affected the changes in the world.
"I understand."
Bailuo: "This is like an environmental issue. If pollution has reached a level that endangers every one of the Kings, then it's not an individual's problem, nor is it my problem, but one that requires everyone's effort."
At that time, Bailuo would not only cease to be a menace but would become the central figure of this cataclysmic event, the most critical variable.
'Feng Xi...'
Bailuo was somewhat puzzled, was this person on his side, or was he an enemy?
