Chapter 2210: Eighteen Years of Observation! soul Prediction!

Assisted by the Omniscient Higher Minor Authority.

Qin Feng recorded all the information he paid attention to in detail.

Afterwards, Qin Feng observed the entire process of Qin Xiaoyou growing up.

When Qin Feng observed Jianghai City for a month, he discovered a very obvious pattern.

The soul energy network of infants would undergo different changes in different environments, and would have completely different reactions to different events, environments, and encounters.

That web of souls surrounding people began to concave, convex, bend, deform… and undergo a series of completely different changes under the influence of a series of environments, events, and encounters.

Moreover, not just infants, but the soul webs of adults and even the elderly were likewise constantly in the process of being influenced and changing.

It was just that the soul webs of infants reacted more intensely to the same event.

That is to say, the changes in the soul web were greater.

In addition.

Even for almost identical events, the impacts were vastly different for different individuals.

For example, watching the same movie might cause some people's soul web to concave, while others' soul web might bend, or even be severed and show broken fractures.

'So, does this soul web actually record all the events these life forms have encountered and the impact they had on them?'

'Does this mean… the changes in this soul web imply changes in each of their personalities and behavioral logic?'

Obviously.

From the changes in the soul web, Qin Feng was completely unable to deduce what the life form had actually encountered.

It was as if Qin Feng saw the result of a math problem was 11, but didn't know how this 11 was derived.

It could be 5+6; it could be 15-4; it could also be 1×11…

Of course, the actual situation was much more complicated than this pure mathematical operation.

He could only make a corresponding analogy: the state of the soul web was the result, but its change process could not be reverse-engineered from it.

'Then the question arises.'

'What is the significance and function of this state of the soul web, this result?'

'Could the soul cocoons in the Land of souls be recording the soul states of certain life forms?'

Qin Feng continuously pondered and reasoned.

He quickly locked onto the most likely guess: could it be that through the state of the soul web, one could predict the life form's reaction when encountering certain events?

That is to say…

Behavioral prediction of the target life form?!

'Could this be… the essence of the soul?'

'The soul Great Emperor seems to have directly summarized the changes in a life form's personality and behavioral logic into a quantifiable, complex "function"!'

Qin Feng was truly shocked at this moment!

Because the variables within this "function" were simply too many.

After more careful observation by Qin Feng, Qin Xiaoyou was soon two years old.

In the function of soul web changes, the factor with the greatest influence was still the physical state of the life form.

Macroscopically speaking, this item was related to the life form's species, race, civilization, and so on.

Microscopically speaking, it was related to the life form's microscopic structure and cellular genetics.

Even among human infants, the impact of the same event could be vastly different.

For example, some children would fear their parents and become obedient after being slapped by them; other children would become even more rebellious and even talk back to their parents.

'Therefore, the soul web is the final calculation result.'

'Environment and events are the main variables of the soul web's changes.'

'The physical structure state of the life form is equivalent to a certain kind of filter, which will perform secondary calculations on the impact of the environment and events.'

This process was simply too complex!

Environmental events, physical structure.

Just quantifying these two concepts into data was something Qin Feng could not imagine how to achieve.

Not to mention projecting their impact onto the soul web to finally arrive at a result.

How many kinds of environments were there in the entire universe? How many kinds of events?

How many types of physical forms of life were there?

Simply endless!

The soul Great Emperor had actually found a general solution in this aspect, providing a universal formula for the changes of the soul web… or rather, this was the ability of the Great Authority of Soul!

"Then the question arises."

"Did the soul Great Emperor create the Great Authority of Soul, or did the soul Great Emperor obtain the Great Authority of Soul?"

If it was created, then Qin Feng could only sigh that that fellow was truly worthy of being an Ancient God-level existence!

If the Great Authority of Soul was obtained…

That would mean the Great Authority of Soul was entirely generated naturally by the universe?

The change function regarding the soul web was naturally contained within the Great Authority of Soul, and did not transfer based on the will of the soul Great Emperor or any other life form.

Regardless of which one it was.

Now this Great Authority of Soul was in Qin Feng's hands, and he had a premonition that mastering the Great Authority of Soul would be of immense help to his future!

Qin Feng continued to observe Jianghai City.

Three years.

Four years.

Five years…

He witnessed all the events encountered by Qin Xiaoyou and Qin Wuyue, and also witnessed with his own eyes the changes in their soul webs.

Qin Xiaoyou's soul web began to transform from a blank sheet of paper. The influences of all environments and events, after being filtered by her physical state, acted upon the soul web and ultimately determined its changing trend.

Qin Feng quickly discovered that the older a person was, the decreasingly impactful events were on the soul web.

This also corresponded to the fact that childhood was the critical period for shaping human personality and worldview.

After growing up, personality and worldview were basically set, and barring any major events, they basically wouldn't undergo major changes.

This point was deduced by Qin Feng very early on from the observation of the soul web.

Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not only observe humans.

He also observed many cats and dogs, sharks and lions, and even flowers, plants, and trees.

That's right, even flowers, plants, and trees had soul webs; after all, they were also life forms!

It was just that for flowers, plants, and trees, they might not necessarily have self-awareness, and the soul web acted directly on their genetic level, enabling them to better adapt to the environment during growth and reproduction.

Thus Qin Feng discovered that the changes in the soul web could actually be solved for all life forms!

Because when calculating this function, the physical state of the life form had already been added in, which already included macroscopic information such as the life form's species, race, civilization, and so on.

After observing for 10 years, Qin Feng began to try making predictions!

Using the Omniscient Higher Minor Authority to calculate the target's soul web.

For example, upon seeing Qin Xiaoyou's pencil snatched away by a female classmate, Qin Feng tried to calculate what kind of changes her soul web would undergo.

When Qin Feng, as an older brother, helped her teach the female classmate a lesson, what kind of changes would Qin Xiaoyou's soul web undergo?

At first, Qin Feng was still unable to calculate it correctly.

Because the possible calculation methods given by the Omniscient Higher Minor Authority were simply too many, fortunately, with each prediction, Qin Feng was able to eliminate many possible options.

After Qin Feng observed for 18 years, the God Forsaken Game finally descended!

At this moment…

In Qin Feng's mind, a brand new system prompt finally sounded.

Next, the system would continuously provide him with targets, letting him predict the subsequent actions of these life forms!

'It's here!'

'I didn't expect that it really is through the soul web, combined with the other party's physical state and environmental events, to predict the target's actions and behaviors!'

Qin Feng had already reached a conclusion before.

The soul web was merely the result of a target's soul state, and could not be used to reverse-engineer what the target had experienced in the past.

Similarly, based on this result, one could already predict the target's actions and behaviors without needing to know what had happened or what they had encountered in the past!

'Therefore… those soul cocoons in the Land of souls are extremely precious soul data.'

'I wonder what existences those soul cocoons correspond to?'

'Through those soul cocoons, the actions of the corresponding life forms can be predicted!'
