Chapter 2547: Prophecy Bug

For a moment, Xia Duo was somewhat excited by this idea of his, eager to verify it immediately, and he further thought—

This so-called "encoding information," as long as the encoding is sufficiently detailed, isn't this just a brand-new writing system?

Generally speaking, one language corresponds to multiple writing systems, and one writing system can usually also be used to express multiple languages.

If one wants to verify whether future information can be obtained directly through such a method, perhaps there is no need to design a separate set of characters or a cipher system at all; using existing characters directly would suffice.

Of course, considering that he is not the only one in this world capable of performing Prophecy, especially with the Illuminati of the Demon Descendants having long been indicated by intelligence, it is still very necessary to design a separate cipher system.

"Cipher, cipher!" Xia Duo muttered to himself a few times.

He then recalled that after becoming an Arcanist, he had once designed a cipher system for his Spell Notes, but later he felt that if someone could really get the Spell Notes from him, whether they were encrypted or not was no longer important.

What's more, he had his Personal Space, which added another layer of Insurance, so he simply stopped using ciphers later on.

Influenced by him, the Mages of the Tower of Time, especially the new Mages, also didn't really use ciphers, but Mages still had the foundation for this sort of thing.

Now, he only needed to expand the cipher system he had previously designed to turn it into a brand-new writing system based on the Netherese language.

That was actually very complex; although the cipher system I designed in the past was mainly aimed at Spell Elements and involved a lot of the Netherese language, there was still quite a bit of it, it was just that because there was too much, outsiders would find it difficult to crack even if they obtained it.

Understanding Prophecy is not equivalent to understanding text decryption; although doing so might be a bit overly cautious, the matter itself is not too troublesome and belongs to the category of things done while at it.

As the saying goes, "Sharpening the knife does not delay the woodcutter," as long as Prophecy can be bugged, it doesn't matter if one needs to explore the Arctic; one can completely obtain information directly from the future.

As long as one can bug it to that period, it is equivalent to dissolving the future into the present in an instant, and then, based on the strengthened present, continue to bug it, continue to strengthen, continue to bug,...

Thinking this way, he made a decision.

The so-called encryption is more about agreeing on special symbols corresponding to individual indicator words, and it is not systematic, because if it were systematic, the difficulty of cracking it would decrease.

No need for anything else, just by infinitely bugging and transporting future technology to the present, he believes that with the current development area of Xia Ling, there will definitely be an opportunity to surpass the Red Heart Alliance in the future.

Very quickly, Xia Duo came up with a brand-new writing system; of course, at the moment there were only encryption symbols and encryption rules, and next he needed to consider how to make these characters appear in specific locations reasonably.

So Xia Duo simply put down all other actions and concentrated all his energy on preparing to bug Prophecy. Even, as long as the records are sufficient, he could completely just perform Prophecy on the Territory, thereby learning all the major and minor events that will happen in the future.

But the images obtained through the Prophecy Ritual are not controllable, at least the current Xia Duo still finds it very difficult to control, and can only roughly determine a direction.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo adjusted his mood, took out the long-unused cipher reference notes from his Personal Space, and after a simple review, he began to design.

Just as Xia Duo was fantasizing about what it would be like if he could learn everything through Prophecy, he suddenly realized a problem—

……

……

As one of the targets of the Prophecy, he himself is simple; just adding a little "special effect" to his Mage Robe would suffice, and those special effects are actually the information that the future self wants to pass to the past self who is currently performing the Prophecy Ritual.

As long as the Principles inside are understood, this matter is actually very simple to do; what gives him the biggest headache now is what kind of symbols to choose as the new characters after encryption.

Can the Reality world really be played like this? Can this kind of operation really be realized?

Then this so-called "specific location" had best be able to cover the entire range he wants to predict, such as the entire Northland or the Main Plane.

Only, upon realizing that Prophecy could actually be so bugged, he had another layer of concern: is this kind of operation a taboo? Will it break some kind of balance and trigger some bad things?

Xia Duo vaguely felt that Prophecy should not be used this way, but he still wanted to try it first; this method of rapid iterative strengthening is simply intolerable to heaven if not tried.

And what he is doing now is not how to calculate the encrypted version of specific information in Netherese text, but to perfect the rules, because the past cipher system was mainly used for the recording and description of spell details and did not involve much Nature language.

But if it corresponds to an entire Nature language system, it is systematic in itself; as long as there is enough meaningful text, it can always be cracked.

If it really is possible, then he will have to face such a possibility, which is that those legendary prophets of the past may very well have infinitely bugged themselves to transcend the Time Line!

This is simply too bugged!

And there is no need to worry about it being cracked in the short term; as for the long term, he can change to a cipher system agreed upon with his future self every time he performs a Prophecy Ritual.

And the limit of what Xia Duo can operate is actually only his Territory; it is difficult to guarantee things outside the Territory, but within the Territory, perhaps a large number of bulletin boards can be built, which, in addition to being used for public use, can be specifically used to pass information to the past.

And the cipher system he designed also has certain rules; the part targeting Spell Elements is not mentioned for now, but the part involving the Netherese language can actually be completely seen as an encryption of Netherese text.

Then, as long as it is based on the same encryption rule, the encrypted text corresponding to the entire Netherese language can be quickly expanded.

And what he needs to do now is to perfect the encryption rules for the Nature language part corresponding to this cipher system.

But again, just based on a little intuition or a little guess, to make him give up such a promising way of using Prophecy, he is truly unwilling.

In this way, as long as he predicts the image of the Territory next, as long as the bulletin boards are covered densely enough, there is a high probability that he will be able to harvest future information that is not limited to the Territory range!

This is a bit similar to naming characters in a novel; it is truly a brain-draining task.

……

If the information that the future me passes to the past me who is currently performing the Prophecy Ritual also comes from a Prophecy Ritual, wouldn't that be bugging it?

Doing it to the end, Xia Duo simply gave up and directly used some meaningless symbols doodled at random as the new characters; this might also increase the difficulty of cracking for other prophets.
