Qian Wangsun recalled the images he had seen in his mind and used his Heavenly Demon terminal to calculate the future he had seen.

'Unfortunately, my foreknowledge wanted to see a future that is too distant, so I could only first foresee Zhou Bai's deductions. Combining these deductions allows for multiple foreknowledge, but there may still be a gap from reality. I can only see big trends, and many details like Haotian God Emperor, Supreme Heavenly Venerate...are still unclear.'

'However, that kind of Zhou Bai couldn't even kill the Supreme Heavenly Venerate, only managed to drive him back and let him escape with the people of Supreme Heaven. The strength of the Supreme Heavenly Venerate seems to be greater than I had anticipated, I need more information...'

After obtaining Zhou Bai's technical support and the Heavenly Demon Mechanism, he set up his intranet which had no connection with the Heavenly Demon network or Zhou Bai's network.

This was also preparation to counter Zhou Bai. Otherwise, if Zhou Bai were to have an accident, many things in Qian Wangsun's hands would be wasted.

Inputting the newly acquired data and intelligence into the computer, Qian Wangsun was using computer technology to augment his foreknowledge ability, making his foreknowledge also stronger.

In this future, he wrote a note: "Another cliché ending, Zhou Bai once again became the calamity of the universe, turning everything into himself, but at least humanity is still alive, isn't it."

"However, the likelihood of this ending is low, let's keep observing for now, and intervene if necessary..."

Just as Qian Wangsun was inputting intelligence, a chill suddenly descended from the heavens. His whole body felt as if his blood froze in an instant, goosebumps covered his entire skin.

'What...what is watching me?'

'Did none of the alert devices work?'

'Where is Zhu Long? What is he doing?'

Qian Wangsun's expression changed dramatically, he slowly raised his head and saw a human face slowly emerging from the ceiling, looking at him with a cold gaze.

The appearance of that face was clearly Zhou Bai.

Qian Wangsun exclaimed, "Zhou Bai? What are you doing?"

But the face of Zhou Bai only looked at Qian Wangsun coldly, with no intention of answering.

Countless possibilities surged and were then eliminated in Qian Wangsun's mind...

'Now should be the time when Zhou Bai has just integrated with the computational power of the Heavenly Demon Pool, his thoughts have not yet been alienated...nor does he have the ability to infiltrate silently.'

'Why? I did not foresee this possibility of the future.'

'Zhou Bai's state seems unusual, did something sudden happen?'

Just as Qian Wangsun was contemplating various battle plans against Zhou Bai, more details of Zhou Bai began to emerge from the ceiling.

This Zhou Bai was sitting on a massive mechanical throne, countless black wires directly inserted into his body, as if merging him with the throne of steel.

Under a doomsday-like black sky, countless Zhou Bai were flying back and forth.

The Zhou Bai on the throne looked at Qian Wangsun and slowly said, "Found you..."

Qian Wangsun was slightly stunned, and then suddenly everything went black. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the previous position, his Heavenly Demon terminal still retained its state before he input intelligence.

"So what I saw just now was still foreknowledge?"

Qian Wangsun clenched his palm: "So now, am I back in reality?"

"Never mind."

He recalled that Zhou Bai just now and frowned: "But what is with that Zhou Bai? Found me? What does that mean?"

"Furthermore, his appearance...why does he look like the Heavenly Demon Zhou Bai that devoured the entire solar system in the future?"

Qian Wangsun termed the possibility where Zhou Bai completely integrates with the Heavenly Demon and devours the solar system as Heavenly Demon Zhou Bai.

"Did I foresee the future me being seen by the future Zhou Bai?"

The unease in Qian Wangsun's heart grew stronger, he inputted the currently known information into the computer, using the future models he designed for calculation, supplemented by his foreknowledge ability, but the results left him extremely shocked.

"If in the future the Heavenly Demon Zhou Bai really rules humanity like that possibility, defeats Supreme Heaven, devours the solar system and the galaxy, becoming a universal disaster. Then he most likely captured me and gained my foreknowledge ability."

"That means Zhou Bai at that time possesses both the computational power of the Heavenly Demon and the ability to foresee the future."

"So he could foresee that his Heavenly Demon self would be stopped by the past me?"

"So we saw each other?"

"But can the future foresee the past? Is this even possible?"

"Moreover, when I want to stop him, his future should have disappeared."

"Could it be that our universe is structured with parallel timelines?"

According to Qian Wangsun's current understanding, there are only two logically consistent and possibly real spacetime theories in the universe.

One is a single timeline, where returning to the past changes the future, and any changes in the past affect future events. But it also involves issues like the grandfather paradox and historical inertia.

The other is multiple timelines, where each possibility leads to a new timeline, and the whole universe is composed of countless parallel worlds. Changing the past does not truly change history, but creates a new history, a new timeline, a new parallel universe.

"But if our universe is structured with parallel timelines, then how could Heavenly Demon Zhou Bai foresee me? What is the point of stopping me?"

Countless thoughts surged in Qian Wangsun's mind, but every possibility he thought of had contradictions and loopholes, making him unable to confirm what exactly the appearance of Heavenly Demon Zhou Bai meant.

This made Qian Wangsun unable to help but doubt: "What exactly is the structure of spacetime in our universe? Could it be none of these two spacetime theories? Is there a third possible spacetime theory?"

"Perhaps only by understanding the principle of my foreknowledge ability, or the principle of Zhou Bai's time gemstone, can we figure out how the timeline in our universe truly operates."

...

At this moment on Mars, Christina and Elsa had just finished discussing the current situation.

Elsa said with no confidence: "Can the two of us alone stop Zhou Bai? How could that be possible, he could turn me into a dog meat hot pot with just a flick of his hand."

"I never said to confront him head-on, or to change someone's mind, using force is the least cost-effective way."

Christina pondered as she slowly said, "Sometimes a single word, an action, or even a look, can change someone's mind."
