Following an afternoon of experimental research, when Song Lan was able to incorporate spiritual energy perception into his abilities, to a certain degree, he could foresee the future. However, this newfound skill was far from perfect. If taken in the context of a movie, his current future prediction was comparable to dragging the progress bar a huge step back to arrive at a future frame, while he remained oblivious of the skipped-over process in between.
Right after, Song Lan once again activated his ability, realizing once again, the image of Valerian lying in a pool of blood.
He got the hang of some ins and outs of the future, predicting the chances of his subjects getting injured, and even the possibility of death in the future. This soon became the priority, regardless if it was the previous street gang leader or currently, Valerian. He kept ending up with the same results in all his predictions.
