To predict the future, intelligence is also necessary!
Because the future is always changing, and time and space can sometimes be very influential. This leads to a fatal problem, which is that the Prophet is too far away from the Main World!
Even with predictive abilities, at such a distance, there is a timeliness factor. The changes in cause and effect mean that when the Prophet receives the news, it will be much later than if they were over there.
And receiving the news late leads to many variables, which is also why Xing Tian made a mistake that left him unable to adjust in time.
So, intelligence from that world is actually quite crucial, and Elder Long's setup this time is very nice and necessary.
"Not bad, you've shown your value!" The Prophet looked at Elder Long with satisfaction. If it weren't for him, once Chen Qing passed the agreement, even if the Queen won, the people outside of Digital City would shut down this world, rendering everything meaningless for them.
