    Chapter 171 – The Prophet's Secret

    Gaili smiled and answered without hesitation.

    "The Prophet has only two abilities."

    "Acquisition..."

    "And Analysis."


    ---

    The moment Su Hao heard those two words...

    He immediately understood.

    The Zhu Hua People were the world's only naturally intelligent race.

    Their true evolutionary path was never about physical strength.

    It was about intelligence.

    The Prophet lineage simply enhanced that natural direction.

    One ability gathered information.

    The other processed it.

    The title Prophet did not come from foretelling the future...

    It came from analyzing enormous amounts of information until the most probable conclusion emerged.


    ---

    Gaili raised his hand and lightly touched the back of Su Hao's hand.

    "Like this."

    "When I touch someone..."

    "I automatically acquire a huge amount of information from their body."

    "I can't choose everything."

    "I only receive a random portion each time."

    "But once the information is collected..."

    "My ability automatically analyzes it."

    "The conclusions are surprisingly accurate."

    "Every contact gives different information."

    "It's not limited to living creatures either."

    "I can also gather information from objects."

    "It's just that the information is usually weak and rarely useful."


    ---

    Su Hao immediately realized how terrifying this ability truly was.

    It was like implanting an incredibly powerful computational processor into the brain.

    The more knowledge one possessed...

    The more frightening the analytical results would become.


    ---

    Based on Gaili's explanation...

    Su Hao roughly understood the principle.

    The Prophet probably gathered some form of unique information field through physical contact.

    It then reconstructed and simulated the collected information...

    Producing astonishingly accurate conclusions.


    ---

    At that moment...

    Su Hao found Gaili even more agreeable.

    The man was surprisingly honest.

    Talking with him felt effortless.

    Like working alongside an unusually reliable partner.


    ---

    However...

    Gaili had more to reveal.

    "Wei..."

    "There's something else you probably don't know."

    "The Prophet doesn't conflict with any mutant sequence."

    "I'm both..."

    "A Prophet..."

    "And a Fifth-Tier Monstrous King from the Mimicfolk sequence."

    "The reason I stayed in Linyuan City all these years..."

    "Was to search for the Origin Emperor."

    He laughed helplessly.

    "But..."

    "It seems we failed."

    "Even after all these years..."

    "We never found it."


    ---

    Su Hao nodded slightly.

    "I understand."

    "Then..."

    "I agree to let the Four Kings Gang settle in Temple Forest City."

    "But..."

    "You must obey the rules here."


    ---

    Gaili immediately jumped to his feet.

    Laughing loudly, he exclaimed,

    "I knew you'd agree, Wei!"


    ---

    Su Hao raised a hand.

    "Don't celebrate just yet."

    "I still have a few questions."


    ---

    "First."

    "Are the Earth Lord and Mist Lord still in Linyuan City?"

    Gaili nodded.

    "They're still there."

    "They intend to occupy Linyuan City."

    "They probably won't leave anytime soon."


    ---

    Su Hao continued,

    "Second."

    "Why did those two travel such a long distance just to seize Linyuan City?"


    ---

    Gaili answered,

    "According to the intelligence we've gathered..."

    "Something terrible happened around Anliang City."

    "A powerful Seventh-Tier mutant has begun slaughtering everything."

    "Those two probably judged the situation there to be hopeless..."

    "So they fled here."

    "They aren't the only ones."

    "Many Fifth-, Sixth-, and Seventh-Tier mutants have recently escaped from that region."

    "That was one of the biggest reasons we abandoned Linyuan City."


    ---

    Su Hao frowned.

    "Even Seventh-Tier mutants are fleeing?"

    Gaili laughed bitterly.

    "That's right."


    ---

    Su Hao silently fell into thought.

    Could they...

    Be coming for him?

    No matter the reason...

    He had an uneasy feeling.

    The chaos would eventually spread to Temple Forest City.

    And...

    He was almost eighteen years old.


    ---

    Suppressing those thoughts...

    Su Hao smiled warmly.

    "Gaili."

    "Would you like to stay at my home for a few days?"

    Gaili's eyes immediately lit up.

    "Of course!"

    "I've always wanted to see where you live."


    ---

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Good."

    "Then..."

    "Let's work together once again."

    Gaili laughed heartily.

    "It'll be my pleasure."


    ---

    After settling the matter of the Four Kings Gang...

    Su Hao left everything else to Yashan.

    He then brought Gaili back to his research base.


    ---

    The moment Gaili entered...

    His curiosity exploded.

    He looked everywhere.

    Touching this...

    Examining that...

    "Wow!"

    "So this is your home?"

    "It's incredible!"

    "I've never seen a house like this before!"


    ---

    Su Hao nodded.

    "That's right."

    "This is my home."


    ---

    Gaili looked around again.

    Then toward the countless Little Round Rats running everywhere.

    "Wei..."

    "Do you actually like these Little Round Rats..."

    "Or are you secretly a professional rat breeder?"


    ---

    Su Hao laughed.

    "I do like them."

    "They've helped me tremendously."

    "But..."

    "I'm not a breeder."


    ---

    Gaili scratched his head.

    "This place is huge."

    "But..."

    "Why raise so many Little Round Rats?"

    "They aren't worth much."

    "Their meat isn't especially delicious either."

    "If you're interested..."

    "We could start raising mountain chickens together."


    ---

    Su Hao simply smiled.

    He pushed open the laboratory door.

    "We're here."

    "This is where I spend most of my time."

    "I'll show you your guest room later."


    ---

    Gaili cautiously stepped inside.

    For some reason...

    Looking at Su Hao's friendly smile...

    He suddenly felt uneasy.

    He looked around the strange laboratory.

    "Wei..."

    "You really sleep here?"

    "This doesn't look like a bedroom."

    "And..."

    "Why exactly did you bring me here?"


    ---

    Su Hao warmly gestured toward a chair.

    "Sit."

    "Treat this like your own home."

    "Don't be nervous."

    "I only need one small favor."

    "It's very simple."

    "You just need to cooperate a little."


    ---

    As he spoke...

    Su Hao calmly took out...

    A small, razor-sharp knife.


    ---

    "..."

    Gaili swallowed hard.


    ---

    Two days later...

    Gaili finally emerged from the laboratory.

    Despite Su Hao repeatedly inviting him to stay longer...

    He left without looking back.


    ---

    Those two days...

    Had been extremely fruitful for Su Hao.

    He confirmed one important fact.

    The Prophet Gene could probably only function inside the highly developed brain of a Zhu Hua Person.

    Trying to express it inside other creatures...

    Produced virtually no useful results.


    ---

    Even so...

    Su Hao still had no intention of experimenting on himself.

    Compared to the Prophet Gene...

    The Rune Genes remained far more important.


    ---

    Before continuing that research...

    He decided to obtain the Earth Lord sequence first.

    Strength always came before everything else.


    ---

    Recently...

    He had constantly sensed danger approaching.

    He didn't know why.

    He didn't even understand the underlying principle.

    He had countless hypotheses...

    But none of them could stop what was coming.

    The only thing he could do...

    Was become stronger.


    ---

    "...Perhaps..."

    "It's a matter of probability."

    "Every action I take..."

    "Increases my probability of death."

    "As those probabilities continue accumulating..."

    "The chance eventually approaches one..."

    "And becomes unavoidable."

    "But..."

    "How exactly are those probabilities changing?"


    ---

    With his current understanding...

    Even if someone explained the answer directly...

    He probably still wouldn't comprehend it.


    ---

    "There is only one solution."

    "Continue evolving."

    "Continue becoming stronger."

    "And accelerate my research on the Rune Genes."


    ---

    Having made his decision...

    Su Hao immediately sought out Yashan.

    "Yashan."

    "I'll be staying inside the laboratory for the next few days."

    "No matter what happens..."

    "Do not disturb me."

    "Don't bring food."

    "Don't bring anything."

    "Remember."

    "Nothing."


    ---

    This was only the second time...

    Yashan had ever heard Boss Wei speak with such seriousness.

    He immediately nodded.

    "Understood, Boss Wei."


    ---

    Su Hao nodded once.

    Then entered the laboratory.

    The heavy stone door slowly closed behind him.


    ---

    The real reason...

    He hadn't told Yashan about leaving...

    Was because the Four Kings Gang was now inside Temple Forest City.

    Things were no longer as simple as before.

    He couldn't allow Gaili to discover...

    Through Yashan's reactions...

    That he had secretly left the city.

    Some things...

    Had to be done quietly.


    ---

    When night finally fell...

    Su Hao activated Assimilation Steel.

    His body slowly sank into the ground.

    Moments later...

    He emerged outside Temple Forest City.

    Steel wings unfolded behind his back.

    With a thunderous boom...

    He shot into the night sky...

    And disappeared into the darkness.

      Golden Mountain Chicken is a Szechuan dish I believe. I'm guessing it's named after a breed of chicken referred to as Mountain Chicken.
