Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[You gallop forward on horseback, using "Prophet" (purple) to deduce and master the effects of this talent.]

[Understand the short-term projections, blurring the specific boundaries of the future.]

The "prophet's" brief predictions of the future are highly cryptic, requiring analysis of the information and speculation.

[You've identified the area where this talent attribute can be maximized.]

[On the contrary, it's the phrase "a last-minute decision" in the description that's noteworthy.]

[Future information is extrapolated based on your temporary decisions. For example, if you decide to go left, the future will be extrapolated to the left; if you decide to go right, the future will be extrapolated to the right.]

Therefore, "foresight" is equivalent to allowing you to continuously change your decisions at "temporary" junctures and then choose the most advantageous future.

[If you go left, you'll face certain death; if you go right, you might survive by a hair's breadth.]

Then you can choose between the two.

The further west you travel, the more expansive the land becomes, and the fewer people there are. After more than a month of trekking, you arrive at Yumen Pass once more.

[Across the desolate desert, majestic mountains rise and stretch, with breaches in their midst to build fortified cities.]

This is Yumen Pass, a natural barrier serving as the western gateway to the Great Cang Dynasty, a formidable pass that blocked threats from the Western Regions.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions nominally governed the entire vast desert, hence its bustling trade and commerce, and the passage through the Jade Gate Pass was not subject to strict scrutiny.

[Upon exiting the Jade Gate Pass, one is greeted by a vast, desolate desert.]

You kept the "Prophecy" talent active almost the entire time, deducing the outcome at every step.

Looking towards Loulan.

[A divinely inspired intuition, a blurry image flashing by, the "knowledgeable and prodigious" and the "intelligence master" swiftly process and analyze the information to derive intelligence.]

This journey is fraught with danger, but a chance for survival awaits.

No matter how you change your mind at the last minute, once you take that first step towards Loulan, the outcome will be the same.

"Am I really that unlucky? Is there bound to be danger heading west?"

You sit astride your horse, inwardly complaining.

After calm analysis, the conclusion is that the danger does not lie in heading west, but rather in your destination.

If you are traveling to the Western Regions for sightseeing, or want to experience the beauty of exotic cultures.

That would likely lead to a very happy and carefree life.

But every "last-minute decision" you made before had a common premise: to go to Loulan and find your aunt.

Given a common premise, no matter how you speculate, it will lead to this goal, making natural disaster seem inevitable.

"A miraculous escape..."

You lowered your eyes and whispered, then laughed freely.

"Just being able to give birth is enough. As long as we don't force the 'survival from a near-death experience' passive ability, we're willing to endure the hardship."

[Spurring their horses, cracking their whips, they resolutely strode into the vast Gobi Desert.]

[Traveling a thousand miles west of Yumen Pass, you pass through the kingdoms of Chezi, Yuelang, Taman, and Tugebi...]

[You will change your decision from going to Loulan to find your aunt to experiencing the exotic customs and wandering around Loulan.]

Finally, the "predicting the future" warning, which seemed to be plastered all over the screen with red warning signs, has been removed.

[This at least means that you can ride westward, whipping your horse, all the way to Loulan without any problems.]

Yellow sand swirls, revealing the eroded and ravaged stone walls all around.

You ride a horse, completely shrouded in a coat, gazing ahead through the hood.

In the vast, desolate desert, an ancient city stands, defying the relentless winds and sandstorms.

Loulan.

Upon arriving here, the sense of crisis that I had previously managed to dispel by distracting myself suddenly returned with a barrage of warnings, like when I accidentally stumbled upon a malicious website and got infected with a virus, with the screen filled with red alerts.

"It seems there's no escaping it now. What awaits me...?"

After more than ten days and a long journey of thousands of miles, you have arrived in Loulan.

[They discreetly entered the city with the caravan, without any checks whatsoever.]

After all, the Western Regions desert is teeming with people of unknown identity, such as criminals, fugitives, demons, evil cultivators, and even monsters and ghosts.

Excessive identity vetting often invites trouble.

Upon entering Loulan, maximize the power of your "Master of Intelligence" talent and unleash your masterful disguise skills.

I found an inn, rented a room, and offered a plausible reason for coming to Loulan, using this as a pretext to travel around the city.

[We quickly located my aunt.]

Because of her immense fame in Loulan.

Wen Fei, head of the largest merchant guild in Loulan, is exceptionally talented, shrewd, and a master strategist.

These are all things she considers insignificant.

The reason she became famous was her beauty.

Looking back, you remember your aunt was fifteen when she got married, and you were six at the time. She was indeed exceptionally beautiful, but at that age, she didn't have a particularly striking impact on you.

[After all, it's against the law.]

[Now, around thirty years old, it's truly the stage when a woman's charm and allure are at their peak, so it's no wonder she has such a beautiful reputation.]

"It seems my aunt hasn't been implicated. I wonder if she received news of the massacre of her entire family..."

[You feel not much joy that your aunt wasn't implicated; instead, you feel a chill.]

[If my aunt escaped this calamity because she was in Loulan, far from Xilong County, then when he came to my door, the screen shouldn't be filled with red warning signs instead of being filled with "predictive" messages.]

"So, either my aunt was controlled, or her husband's family was powerful enough to protect her, or... she was involved in the massacre of her entire family."

Your information processing and analytical skills are outstanding; you quickly arrived at several guesses.

After gathering enough intelligence and information, you return to the inn.

[The "prophet" began to deduce various "last-minute decisions," almost all of which were certain death; there was simply no way to find a way out.]

"It seems we need to change the situation to generate more possibilities for future scenarios..."

After calm reflection, you formulated a plan.

The next day, you went out as usual, using your "Succubus Body" and "Information Master" to briefly control several ordinary people.

[Then they were instructed to approach the Wen Clan Chamber of Commerce, tentatively requesting an audience with Wen Fei, claiming that a relative of hers had come seeking refuge.]

No further specific information was disclosed.

[You secretly followed behind them, observing from a distance. Upon hearing the news, the chamber of commerce employees immediately contacted their superiors for information.]

[Please wait a moment.]

【"Depend on!"】

[You suddenly blurted out a curse.]

[Then, unleash "Firefly Dance" at top speed, with "Information Master" providing full support.]

[Disappearing in an instant, like a firefly, into the shadows.]

【Clang!!!】

A dazzling sword light descended from the sky, landing where you had just stood, and silently, that area was completely annihilated.

[Your expression is solemn as you unleash your full speed, causing all your stats to fluctuate wildly.]

[Previously, the "Prophet" gave a strong sense of danger, meaning that staying in place would certainly lead to death, while the "Enemy Prediction" predicted a brilliant sword light descending from the sky.]

[That's when you started cursing and ran away without a second thought.]

[Left...right...disguise...hide...detour...beg for mercy...play dead...]

You keep using your "prophetic" abilities to speculate on "last-minute decisions," only to find there's no way out.

【"I'll fight him to the death..."】

[You speculate that you used "Sword Charm - Celestial Immortal" and "Demonic Sect Secret Technique - Chaotic Force Field" in a desperate gamble.]

The conclusion is then speculated to be that they will die even faster.
