“Reality and illusion are not important to me.” Gu Yi looked at the young man with a smile, “Who can see clearly the mystery of the soul and the true face of the world? As far as the Master is concerned, whatever I believe in, It must be true; whatever I doubt must be false.”
Sean quietly distanced himself, ignoring the strange looks from the passing drivers. He looked a bit embarrassed now. His expensive suit was torn into strips, and his shoes could not withstand the explosive force and became tattered. Look, Going up like a homeless man.
Even so, the young man still maintained vigilance in his eyes, “No fight?”
The greatest mage on earth chuckled and said in a relaxed tone: “Continuing is just a meaningless battle. You are not like those of the same kind in the past who were found by the mage at a weak stage and can be easily dealt with. .”
Along the edge of the highway, Gu Yi walked forward, and Sean naturally followed suit. He didn’t understand what the other party was going to do for the time being. This Supreme Mage is the weirdest and most unconventional person he has ever encountered.
“If I want to detain or eliminate you, I have to pay a huge price. I don’t like trouble.”
The two of them were walking under the night sky. At this time, the setting sun had already sunk into the horizon, and the bright stars dotted the dark sky.
Master Gu Yi played with the folding fan in his hand and said softly: “I have prevented countless terrible events from happening, but bad things always come one after another. We maintain the order of time, but at the same time we also try to reverse the final outcome. This is very contradictory. , and very reasonable.”
“Occasionally I am like Charles. He wanders in the ocean of human souls, while I swim in the long river of time in the past and future. Somewhat ironically, I can see the growth and death of all things, but I cannot see my own ending. … I will die soon, but when, where, and by whose hands I will die, these are all as blurry as seeing flowers in the mist.”
Looking at Sean who was bowing his head and saying nothing, Gu Yi sneered: “Put down your extra vigilance and caution. Although mages hate stowaways like you, I am an outlier. I replaced the previous supreme mage Agamo.” Tuo, he will definitely exile you to the dark space and will never let you stay on the earth.”
Sean raised his head. He remembered the information about the Supreme Mage. In the original timeline, Ancient One was not a pedantic person who followed the rules. In order to cope with the crisis from the future, he did not hesitate to absorb the powerful energy from the dark dimension. to maintain its own life and existence. It can be seen from this that the great mage who is called the Supreme Master is actually not an otherworldly saint.
“The future is not a straight road. It is an extension of countless possibilities. Just like if I let you stay on Earth, it will lead to many different results, both good and bad. No one can be sure.”
As if teaching a student, Gu Yi spoke eloquently: “Sean Sipers, your arrival has brought endless variables to this world, some of which are good and some are bad. I choose to tolerate your existence in the hope that you can lead the world.” To create more possibilities, at least in the terrible disaster in the future, this world and even the universe can have more opportunities.”
A dark light flashed in Sean’s eyes. He looked at the Supreme Mage walking in front and said, “Mage, can the future be changed?”
“If I tell you when and where in the future, by whose hands you will die, will your future change from this moment on?”
Gu Yi stopped and turned to look at the standing young man. Traffic continued to pass by the two of them. After a while, the Supreme Mage’s eyes showed a look of understanding.
The bald mage opened his folding fan and said with a carefree smile: “The past and the future, time and space are always full of cycles and paradoxes. This is why I am unwilling to use the Eye of Agamodha, to go too deep or interfere with it. , will lead to unpredictable disasters. Every time a branch of time is created, there will be one more variable in the future, and in the end the long river of time will swallow you up.”
“Sean.” She said the young man’s name softly, “Knowing everything is not a good thing sometimes.”
With his impression of the Supreme Mage finally put together, Sean looked at the greatest mage on earth and couldn’t help but feel pity in his heart, “You don’t resist death.”
“I have lived for fifteen hundred years, extracting energy from the dark dimension to maintain my immortal form… My soul is bewitched by those whispering voices day and night, and those evil spirits are trying to drag me into the abyss of darkness. I don’t know How long can I hold on? Even a will as strong as iron will become corrupted over time. Such examples are common among mages.”
On the forehead of the ancient mage, a red mark appeared faintly. It was the curse mark of the dark dimension. Those fanatical believers of Dormammu also had similar symbols, which meant that the ignorant who were confused by the darkness had to put their souls to death. Sacrifice to powerful beings in the dimension in exchange for power and life.
However, the Supreme Mage found a loophole in this unequal and taboo transaction, and while absorbing dark energy, he still maintained his own will.
“I have found a very suitable successor. He will do better than me.” Gu Yi showed a happy smile on his face, looked around Sean, shook his head and said, “If you are not an outsider, If you don’t have annoying ambitions and many desires, maybe I will take a fancy to you… I hope that the successor who takes over my position will be a person who breaks the rules.”
Sean walked side by side with the interesting bald mage, shaking his head to indicate that he had no interest in the position of the Supreme Mage. He originally thought that the most powerful mage on earth would be a formidable enemy that he would face. Unexpectedly, even after knowing the secret of his identity, Ancient One still did not show strong hostility.
On the one hand, the Supreme Mage does not want to waste a lot of time, on the other hand, it reflects the character of Ancient One himself. He saw the future crisis in the long river of time. Because he could not directly intervene and change, he tried to increase the variables. This This is also the key reason why the bald mage shows mercy.
“Your arrival has brought about subtle changes in this world. I’m looking forward to the follow-up, but it’s a pity that I can’t see it anymore.” The ancient mage who has lived for a long time has an innocent smile like a child on his face.
Although it is said that the mission of the wizard is to maintain the order of time and guard the stability of space, Gu Yi always feels that if the future ending is destined to not be changed, then what is the meaning of everything they have done?
Rather than letting the world be like a pool of stagnant water and proceeding on its original trajectory, it is better to throw Sean, the pebble that he accidentally entered, into the lake and see how big the ripples can be.
“Are there any restrictions on Kama Taj’s enrollment?” Sean’s eyes flashed as he thought of Dr. Doom who was imprisoned in his laboratory.
“You are truly an out-and-out profitist. The Temple Master is extremely tolerant in not treating you as an enemy, and yet you still want to study in Kama Taj?”
Gu Yi couldn’t help but laugh, but she didn’t reject the other party’s straightforward attitude. Everyone would pursue their inner desires. The difference was that some people would be blinded by temporary gains and losses, while some people could resist temptation and keep their true intentions.
Mages are not saints without desires. They pursue truth and knowledge and try to outline the true face of the universe with the power of magic, just like believers in mysticism who worship the supreme existence of the Trinity.
“Sean Sipers, I will keep an eye on you. Remember my warning, you can make ripples in the long river of time, but you cannot stir up huge waves. All changes that can be corrected are the Temple Mage It’s allowed, but once you exceed it, someone will find you.”
The arm wearing the hanging ring randomly drew a circle, a combination of complex geometric patterns and complicated lines, and there were subtle fluctuations in the space. Master Gu Yi stepped into it, and the wide yellow monk’s robe disappeared.
“Does this mean I’m on the blacklist of the Temple Mage?” Sean muttered. He looked down at his embarrassed appearance, and his face suddenly became ugly.
“Leave some taxi money for me before you leave…”
