The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 33 The Diviner and the... Conspiracy?
Jiang Chuan certainly remembered Shen Jing's memory awakening; his identity was actually quite explosive even in the entire Qing City No. 1 High School.

Li Chunfeng's disciple.

Li Chunfeng's most famous work is the "Tui Bei Tu" (Pushing Back Diagram). This book, co-authored by Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang, is a treasure of the traditional Chinese Zhouyi (Book of Changes) culture. Its contents record two thousand years of history from the Tang Dynasty onwards, making it arguably the world's greatest pre-historical book!

If one possesses the "Tui Bei Tu" (a book about prophecy), one can grasp the unpredictable and treacherous nature of the world and use the overall situation as a chessboard; it is a book for emperors!

It's a pity that it has been lost.

Even if the knowledge has been lost, it proves the value of Li Chunfeng. Furthermore, even if his disciples cannot trace back two thousand years, they can certainly do it in two or three days.

Jiang Chuan hadn't taken it to heart at first, but as he gradually learned the truth about the memory awakening, especially now that Shen Jing had sent him this message, he naturally realized how amazing Shen Jing was.

I never expected my good brother to have such a skill.

Jiang Chuan's fingers began to move: "[It's not exactly a mistake, is it? In a sense, wasn't I going to the hospital to get my brain checked?]"

[According to you, it was a close call, but ultimately without serious harm?]

Shen Jing immediately sent a message: 【[Panda head with fists]】.

Jiang Chuan responded: 【Where did you get so many ridiculous pictures?】

Then Jiang Chuan immediately asked, "What's the price for your fortune telling? How long can it last?"

If it could be predicted so accurately, wouldn't that be like having a cheat code? At least it could prevent accidents from happening, right?

Shen Jing's eyes lit up when he saw the long string of messages Jiang Chuan had sent.

Once the topic reached this point, Shen Jing naturally became interested:
[To say I'm using cheat codes wouldn't be accurate; my current divination is at most a kind of hint.]

So there's basically no cost involved.

[Furthermore, I feel that such warnings are unavoidable. For example, if I cast a divination for someone and predict a bloody disaster, they might stay home to avoid it, but then an earthquake happens while they're at home.]

But if I hadn't calculated it, he might have gone out and escaped this disaster.

These things are unpredictable; you might even die if you go out. It all depends on each person's fate.

Jiang Chuan looked at what Shen Jing had sent and roughly understood what it meant.

In other words, if something really happens, there's no way to avoid it even if you try.

No... to be precise...

To be precise, does the result of the divination mean that it was already predetermined? It was an inevitable outcome, or even a factor that led to that outcome...?

Are divination symbols also part of destiny analysis?

Shen Jing: [Thumbs up]

Yes, that's very insightful.

[If someone were like my master, perhaps they could deduce even more, and even change things, but I can't do that right now.]

Jiang Chuan's divergent thinking: [What about the Tui Bei Tu? Do you still remember it in your dreams?]

Shen Jing: [I've never seen such a thing. Master and Lord Yuan have done an excellent job of keeping this a secret.]

However, ultimately, I think there's something wrong with losing the Tui Bei Tu.

Whether you believe it or not, this kind of book certainly cannot be known to the general public.

【Think about it, Brother Chuan. My divination only affects one person and can't change their fate. If the Tui Bei Tu records some major disasters, and the impact is even slightly wider, then it affects the fate of tens of thousands of people. If such a predictive record were to become known to the world, let alone whether it would change fate or not, the chaos it would cause would be enough to cause a lot of trouble.】

[This kind of book is likely only accessible to a small number of people, so whether it was lost is also questionable.]

Jiang Chuan lay on his side reading the words Shen Jing had sent, nodding in agreement in his heart.

Indeed, the existence of the Tui Bei Tu is undoubtedly a powerful tool. If it is in the hands of an individual, it is indeed powerful, but if it becomes known to the world, its effect will be greatly weakened.

Human nature dictates that whoever possesses this extraordinary book would never share it. As Prime Minister Cao aptly put it, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me..."

Applying this to the book, it means that even if some people suffer, the prophecies within the book must continue, so as to grasp the overall trend... and thus reap the greatest benefit. Jiang Chuan swiped his finger across the screen: [So, you mean the Tui Bei Tu might still be in the hands of certain people?]

Shen Jing: [Hands on hips, mischievous]

I didn't say that.

[Do not make irresponsible remarks about the imperial court.]

However, it's hard to say for sure.

[If the Tui Bei Tu hadn't been lost, it would mean that even if some people possessed it, they still couldn't maintain a lasting dynasty.]

Jiang Chuan: [Stop sending pictures.]

However, you have a point.

However, I also think there's another possibility.

Shen Jing: [Damn it, what you said was really hurtful.]

What's possible?

Jiang Chuan: [For example, is there a mysterious organization controlling this, but operating independently of the imperial court? They don't want to influence the prophecy's progress; is it for some major event predicted in the prophecy?]

After Jiang Chuan finished typing and shared his thoughts, Shen Jing fell silent. This time, he didn't send any pictures.

Seeing Shen Jing's silence, Jiang Chuan felt that he, like himself, was caught in some kind of conjecture and shock.

Independent of the imperial court? An organization? A major event?
Does the Tui Bei Tu record prophecies for the two thousand years following the Tang Dynasty?

Doesn't this resemble some other things?

At this point, the words "typing in progress" will appear on the screen.

Shen Jing: [Holy crap! That's awesome, Brother Chuan!]

[I just went to the bathroom, and when I came back, I was shocked to see such an outrageous statement!]

[It's definitely possible that this is something we're capable of doing!]

Jiang Chuan looked at Shen Jing's reply and fell into deep thought once again.

Is this the kind of thing they're capable of doing?

The Book of Changes (I Ching) has a long history. Since ancient times, divination based on divine will has been in the hands of the emperor. Regardless of the dynasty, there has always been the saying that the emperor is the representative of the gods on earth. This has been the case in most places, both in ancient and modern times, and in China and abroad.

Perhaps these people possess some hidden power beneath the surface?
Just as Jiang Chuan was thinking this, Shen Jing sent another message:
[Brother Chuan, shall I cast a divination for you every day from now on?]

Do you want some?

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment.

According to what Shen Jing just said, this divination may not be a good thing.

However, considering what happened at Qingshi Hospital before, Jiang Chuan felt it was better to know the development trend in advance, at least so that he could be mentally prepared.

According to Li Yu, and given Wu Qingqing's hints today, he may face quite a few such problems in the future.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Chuan sent a reply to Shen Jing:
"Alright, Mr. Shen, is there a fee for the divination?"

Shen Jing: [Want to rank up tonight?]

Jiang Chuan: [Is there a fee for divination?]

Shen Jing: [Want to rank up tonight?]

Shen Jing: [[2000 years later]].

Shen Jing: [[Wait a minute?]]
