Talk:Mushoku Tensei:Web Chapter 166

Can someone re translate these lines

"It is to know the rough history of the path an individual should have taken." The rough history. "That means Orsted-sama can see the future." "No...what I can see is the past, not the future. The one pre-ordained by fate."

He meant something similar to seeing previous world's history. Means being able to see what did the person do in the history. No wonder why those lines made me thinks very hard after seeing the word 'loops' somewhere around in translated volume 15 or 16.

TL: Just a quick note that at this point Orsted was not telling Rudeus the full truth regarding the 'future vision' he has. So he was deliberately saying this to throw Rudeus off, because if he told Rudeus the full truth and Rudeus told it to Human God to secure the safety of his family, this loop would be completely wasted. This is the first loop in which Orsted met with Rudeus & Nanahoshi, at this point in the story he's still testing out the waters regarding those two (or rather testing out Rudeus). He does later admit that he wasn't telling Rudeus the full truth in Vol.18 after he deemed him trustworthy. So while someone can TLC check those, I believe they should be correct. - Awrya 00:44, 13 August 2014 (GMT +1)

Oh, okay. That explains it. I guess I'll wait until Vol 18 Chapters 12 being translated to fill the missing gap. :)
