Chapter 547: Fate System and Information Plane

Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

Jie Ming sat cross-legged in the center of the laboratory, surrounded by several Black Giant priests.

These black figures, over three meters tall, stood silently, the liquid metal layer on their bodies flowing slowly, swallowing the surrounding light. "Master, the 'Fate' subsystem has completed the logic closed loop, and the preliminary test has passed smoothly," a tall Black Giant priest with dark metallic skin reported in a low voice.

"Not bad, time is tight, start the final test immediately."

As Jie Ming's voice fell, a point of golden light suddenly lit up between his brows.

In an instant, the beliefs of tens of billions of believers in the Purgatory Sulfur Plane surged toward him like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

These chaotic streams of intent were filtered, parsed, and reorganized by the Fate system, eventually forming a precise information network.

Jie Ming opened his eyes, his pupils reflecting thousands of causal traces like starlight.

He gently flicked a golden thread, and the holographic projection in the center of the laboratory immediately jumped out with countless images—those were the births, deaths, joys, and sorrows of the believers.

Under the processing of the Fate system, all were quantified into predictable probability data.

Jie Ming no longer focused on a single causal line, but instead placed his attention on the entire Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

In an instant, countless light spots began to flicker; with the cooperation of the Fate system, his soul processed massive amounts of data at a terrifying speed. Those fate threads that originally required him to spend mental effort to deduce were now clearly presented in his consciousness sea.

"Master, the system is running normally," the lead priest's voice was low. "Information processing efficiency increased by about 370 times, and the fate perception coverage area expanded to the edge of the entire plane."

"Error rate?"

"Below 0.03%."

Jie Ming nodded: "Not bad!"

He stood up slowly, maintaining the state of golden light emanating from between his brows, feeling this wonderful sensation.

"Although my understanding of the 'Law of Fate' and 'Fate' is still at the fur, there is still such a huge improvement even in this state. And relying on this system, it can also help me filter out more than 90% of invalid information interference," Jie Ming felt the clear information flow in his mind and nodded with satisfaction. "At the current stage, this is my best 'Big Data Processor'."

"Continue stability testing, and additionally, proceed with testing the fate trend detection function in a closed environment."

Jie Ming's consciousness immersed in it, turning his attention again from the plane to individual individuals.

In this state, he could clearly "see" the fate threads of these Black Giant priests around him.

Those faint golden threads extended from them, pointing to countless possible futures.

Some threads led to battle, some led to evolution, and there were even a few threads so thin they were almost invisible, leading to death.

However, Jie Ming knew very well in his heart that the Fate system was essentially an information processing network, built by the power of incense, capable of helping him process complex information flows.

The so-called perception of fate trends was actually just a byproduct of processing massive information flows.

"Take three steps to the left."

Jie Ming suddenly spoke, his voice passing through the laboratory and precisely reaching the ears of a Black Giant outside.

Although strange about the source of the voice, knowing it was his master's order, the Black Giant followed it without hesitation.

The second after it moved, the volcano next to it suddenly erupted, and massive rocks smashed down from the sky, just hitting its original position. The Black Giant looked at the rubble, a human-like astonishment appearing in its eyes.

"This information prediction function of the Fate system... or rather, the prophecy function, although it's just a byproduct, feels pretty good to use," Jie Ming nodded with satisfaction. "It can extract subtle signs of environmental changes from thousands of belief flows, predicting all changes in the local area 0.3 seconds in advance." Jie Ming shook his head with regret again: "Saying all changes, in fact, limited by my existing information processing capability and understanding of Fate knowledge and Fate rules, the environmental range I can truly control is quite small."

"And this is still inside the Purgatory Sulfur Plane that belongs to me, a closed environment with relatively few variables; if it were in the outside world, there would be even more variables, and the environmental range I could control would be further reduced."

That said, Jie Ming was already very satisfied.

After all, just as mentioned before, this was just a byproduct of improved information processing capability.

"But no wonder, clearly just a byproduct, yet its presence is higher than the original function of the Fate system. If this thing had a sufficiently strong user, it might even be able to directly weave the fate of all living beings on an entire planet or plane."

At that time, the life and death of all living beings within the control range could completely be said to be at the user's whim.

"However, the Purgatory Sulfur Plane mainly consists of Black Giants I created, whose lives are already in my hands anyway, so it doesn't make much difference." Jie Ming stopped thinking about this and turned to the other priests, "You guys, attack me simultaneously, control the intensity at Level 5." Five Black Giant priests took action immediately.

Energy torrents collided and surged in the small space, the violent energy turbulence sufficient to tear apart any living being below Level 6.

However, Jie Ming stood in the center of the storm, his pace calm.

Every step he took happened to land in the gaps of the energy turbulence, those attacks sufficient to incinerate elements brushing past his side, yet not even touching the corner of his clothes.

"The information analysis capability of the Fate system can analyze battlefield information flows in real-time, predicting attack trajectories," Jie Ming stopped his pace. "With it, conventional energy saturation bombardment is basically ineffective against me."

The test lasted for three hours.

From combat prediction to information tracing, from causal detection to fate perception, every function of the Fate system was repeatedly verified.

Finally, all data was summarized on the crystal light screen in Jie Ming's hand.

【Fate System Operating Status: Normal】

【Information Processing Efficiency: Theoretical Maximum 87%】

【Prediction Accuracy: 99.98%】

【System Stability: Normal】

Jie Ming looked at this string of data and finally revealed a smile.

And besides the good news that the Fate system could run normally, there was another unexpected joy.

Ever since he combed through the Incense God Dao before, his mastery of the Law of Spiritual Energy had been stuck at 30% for too long.

But now, even just by following the pattern to arrange the Fate system, Jie Ming's mastery of the Law of Spiritual Energy rose to 33%. "If I could fully master Fate knowledge and the Fate system, I'm afraid I could raise my Law mastery to over 50%." Jie Ming walked out of the laboratory refreshed, his gaze sweeping over the sky of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.

Under the blood-colored clouds, countless Black Giants shuttled and worked among the volcano groups; they were his believers, and also his legion.

Just then, the Magic Net terminal at his waist vibrated.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the crystal-textured terminal, and a message emerged:

【Elite Combat Unit: Conscription Order】

【You have ended your rest period and can receive a new round of plane war missions】

【Accept?】

Jie Ming did not hesitate, his consciousness touching the terminal.

The light screen unfolded, and the mission details emerged:

【Plane Name: Information Plane (Temporary Number 565847-07)】

【Battle Damage Statistics:】

【Level 7 Wizard: 3 incapacitated】

【Level 6 Wizard: 20 incapacitated】

【Mid-to-low-level Wizard: nearly ten thousand incapacitated】

【Death Toll: 0】

When Jie Ming saw this line, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Another death toll of 0.

Based on his experience in elite combat units, the more planes like this where no one died, the more troublesome they were.

After all, in normal plane wars, how could there be no deaths?

Unless...

【Enemy Characteristics: Unconventional flesh/elemental life, pure information-state life form】

【Core Ability: Information Manipulation】

【Conscription Requirement: Priority conscription of wizards skilled in information processing/Fate system knowledge】

【Mission Time: Arrive at the handover point within 72 standard hours】

【Mission Level: High Risk (Elite Exclusive)】 ===== CHAPTER 548 =====
