After Gu Yi showed off his skills, not to mention Tony, even Thor felt a little restrained.

After all, the more you know, the more you can understand what it means.

But Shen He has always been calm.

He sat casually in one of the seats. Gu Yi personally heated a pot of tea for them and poured it into small flat bowls. Each small bowl had only one tea leaf standing in the center.

The refreshing fragrance gradually filled the entire space.

When Shen He picked up the small bowl and was about to take a sip, Tony's praise suddenly came from the side.

"Good tea."

"Don't you dislike tea?" Shen He turned his head.

"..." Tony opened his mouth.

He was just complimenting, why did he have to say it out loud.

"Oh, I happen to have good coffee here."

Gu Yi looked at Tony apologetically, and she didn't see any movement, but the small bowl in Tony's hand suddenly turned into a cup of coffee, and it was still in a cup with the Starbucks logo printed on it.

"Then can I have some wine?" Seeing this, Thor also quickly put down his small bowl.

So, the small bowl in front of him also incredibly turned into a large glass of beer.

Shen He felt that Gu Yi was just missing a crowd of onlookers who would exclaim in amazement, and then it would be perfect.

"It's incredible!"

Well... I almost forgot about Thor's girlfriend Jane.

Jane perfectly acted as a must-have onlooker for a pretender. Her eyes were wide open, with a look of shock and excitement on her face, and she kept chattering:

"How is this done? Space displacement? From a scientific point of view, if you want to transfer something from one place to another, you must first quantify it. Thor, is this the same as the principle of your rainbow bridge..."

Thor's expression was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to explain it. He never had any status in front of Jane.

"This is just a simple trick, kid." Gu Yi looked at Jane with a look of kindness like an elder.

"You are really a powerful wizard."

Jane clasped her hands together respectfully and worshipfully to Gu Yi, completely forgetting the fact that her boyfriend was a god.

Shen He felt that this would not work.

Thor's style was completely suppressed by the other party, and it seemed that Thor could not help at all.

"I think this is a unique feature of the 'Vishanti' system." Shen He smiled slightly, "After all, it is to resist the dark invaders from the multi-dimensional space. The attainments in space are indeed far superior to other magic systems, and even in time,..."

He did not say the rest.

But Gu Yi's eyes became deeper in an instant.

Knowing that their magic system is based on the trinity of the ancient gods "Vishanti" is nothing, but the core of the Vishanti system is space and spirit, which has nothing to do with time.

The only reason why the Supreme Sorcerer is proficient in time is the time gem named Eye of Agammodor.

"Mr. Shen's body also contains vast and powerful magic." Gu Yi's eyes seemed to see through Shen He, "I guess Mr. Shen is also a powerful magician."

"No." Shen He shook his head very simply, "I know nothing about magic."

"..."

Gu Yi's face was directly written with the words of disbelief.

Although the strength of the magic in Shen He's body is not as strong as hers, it has surpassed all her disciples.

Not to mention, the other party was accompanied by a holy spirit composed entirely of magic and spirit.

"My magic comes from my profession." Shen He did not explain much, he just shrugged his shoulders, "If you want to achieve something in the way of magic, the two most important things are talent and the pursuit of knowledge, and I don't have these two."

People should still have self-knowledge. It would be great to be a promising master. Magic and other things, just learn a little when you don't want to be a salted fish.

"......Everyone has their own direction." Gu Yi's eyes swept over Tony, "Magic may not be suitable for everyone."

"That's right." Shen He nodded and said directly, "But it must be suitable for Tony."

Talent and pursuit of knowledge, these two points Doctor Strange has, but Tony looks even stronger than Doctor Strange.

"I think Mr. Stark has found his direction." Gu Yi has also guessed Shen He's purpose.

She had to admit that Tony's talent was the best one he had seen in all these years, but the future disciple she saw was not Tony.

The Supreme Sorcerer can only have one.

Once two of them appear, it means conflict and fighting.

"Yes, I am a scientist." Tony interrupted, he knew it was his turn to speak, "but I am very interested in all knowledge. I am not learning magic with the mentality of becoming a wizard, but I hope to explore the unknown and find all the secrets hidden behind everything I am unfamiliar with, so that I can go further in my own direction."

Tony spoke politely, which was rare, but in fact he was telling Ancient One that he didn't want to be his disciple at all.

He just came for the purpose of cooperation, learning and discussion.

"The path of magic is almost endless..." Ancient One was silent for a while, and continued, "but humans, after all, have limited energy."

"..." Tony looked at Shen He.

If he were to take over, he would tell the other party how talented he was.

But Shen He had already told him not to let the other party catch his arrogance and scold him and then drive him out.

"So, Master Ancient One, do you want us to discuss the method of immortality?" Shen He looked at the Ancient One in front of him with an ambiguous smile on his lips. "Without firm beliefs and goals in life, it is difficult for mortals to endure immortal life. Even the Asgardians, who are hailed as gods, only have a lifespan of three thousand years. So, Master Ancient One, what is your goal?"

Immortal life that far exceeds the limits of human beings is the greatest secret of Master Ancient One.

The reason why this became a secret was not because she did not have the qualifications for eternity, but because the power that made her immortal came from the darkness that she was wary of and hated.

So when Shen He asked this question, Gu Yi realized that her secret might have been known by Shen He.

"Chaldea...protecting human reason, only in front of aliens?" Gu Yi did not answer Shen He's question in the end, but asked a question in return.

"Of course not."

The smile on Shen He's face did not fade, he felt that he had regained the initiative.

"We are naturally aware of the threat from the multidimensional space, but you have always protected it very well in this regard."

"Protected very well?"

Gu Yi's expression was no longer calm at the beginning, replaced by a kind of faint confusion.

"I have prevented countless terrible events." Gu Yi looked at Shen He, "but bad things always come one after another...If you really have been protecting the world as you said, what should you do to keep moving forward...instead of stagnating at a certain time?"

"So..." Shen He also looked directly into the other's eyes, "Did you see the future you stopped?"

The others were silent.

They didn't understand the meaning of the conversation between the two at all.

Because such a conversation can only be understood by two people who know the future.

"Even though such a long time has passed, I have always been afraid of stopping." Gu Yi lowered his eyes slightly, "But that day will come sooner or later."

"Sometimes, knowing the future is a very scary thing." Shen He frowned, "But in our concept, the future is just a possibility. If you don't want to stop, you should be able to change it, or even find a possibility of endless protection... Before today's meeting, I always thought that stagnation was your own choice."

Shen He remembered that in the movie, Gu Yi expressed his desire for life when he died.

Even if it was just a movie, the words just now were enough to show that Gu Yi didn't want to die.

So what was her death like? Was it really the so-called inescapable fate?

"That was indeed my own choice." Gu Yi raised his eyes again, "Because that is already the best future."

"..." Shen He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "How many did you see?" "

28744923048932."

"..."

Shen He was a little scared by this series of numbers.

It was not because of the huge number.

It was because in his past memories, he had seen a post about the Marvel parallel universe. The largest Marvel parallel universe that had appeared was a fourteen-digit number.

He didn't remember what the number itself was, but he wasn't sure if it was a coincidence.

Moreover, with this number, all the Ancient Ones died?

"This is totally unreasonable." Shen He frowned tightly, "No one's fate must be tragic, let alone in such a huge base... What's going on in your universe?"

"I don't know." Ancient One shook his head, and his expression suddenly returned to his original calmness, "But it makes me believe that there are always some destinies that cannot be escaped, so I made a choice."

"..."

Shen He didn't know what to say.

He suddenly had an urge to find a way to find Deadpool in other Marvel universes.

"Wait--"

Shen He suddenly realized something in his mind, which made him eager to ask.

"Are we present in the futures you have seen?"

"I haven't seen them for a long time..." Ancient One's expression was a little complicated, but he still answered, "But I haven't seen you in the ones I have seen in the past."

"Then why don't you go and see it now?"

Shen He knew that she was saying that she had not used the Time Stone to see the future since she and others appeared in this world.

"No." Ancient One forced a smile, "That's really a very painful thing."

No matter how many futures you have seen, how many timelines you have seen, you can't find a way to escape your fate.

This is really an inhuman torture.

It took Ancient One a very long time to begin to accept his fate, just like all ordinary people.

"In this case, forget it." Shen He did not force it.

He already had a guess that the so-called Time Stone, the future that can be seen, is not a real timeline, but just a picture of countless Marvel parallel universes.

If this is true.

They, the outsiders, and even their universe, will not appear in those futures.

Ancient One in front of him obviously realized this.

She didn't want to check the future again, just to leave herself a hope.

In this case...

"Let's make a deal." Shen He looked at Ancient One with a serious expression, "You teach Tony magic, and I will try to save your fate."

"I have accepted my..."

"There is nothing to hesitate about." Shen He interrupted Ancient One directly, "If you have seen so many futures, you should know that Tony has the potential to become the Supreme Sorcerer."

"But there are always some things more important than life."

Having said this, Ancient One simply stopped hiding anything.

In the future she saw, after Tony became the Supreme Sorcerer, there was a high probability that he would conflict with her other apprentice. There was an even greater probability that Tony himself would fall into the curse of knowledge and could not break free, and eventually go to some extreme.

"In our concept, protecting the world is not about choosing one from countless futures." Shen He looked at Ancient One deeply, "but about creating, creating a future that you want to see. If there are any bad consequences for Tony becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, then we will correct it."

If no matter how you change, there will still be an inescapable fate imposed on you.

That is indeed inhuman despair.

But Shen He has this confidence, or rather, compared to that kind of despair, he would rather firmly let himself have this confidence.

No matter how powerful Ancient One is, and how powerful the Infinity Stones are, they are always things in the Marvel system.

And Chaldea is undoubtedly in a larger system.

"..." Ancient One did not speak again.

She was hesitating, or rather, being able to see the future made her lack the courage to try more than ordinary people.

She would rather choose a relatively safe future for this world than dare to break it easily and let everything go to the unknown that she could not see.

"I think I understand." Tony suddenly spoke, he exhaled a long breath, then raised his hand and put it on Shen He's shoulder, "He, thank you for believing in me."

"I don't believe in you." Shen He slapped his hand away angrily, "It's just that compared to the so-called future, I believe in myself and my servants more."

"Can't you let me be moved for a moment?"

Tony was speechless, but he didn't care. He was not the kind of person who would talk about his inner feelings. He just looked at Ancient One.

"First of all, I want to make sure that Chaldea does not exist in the future you saw, and you haven't seen the future since Chaldea appeared, right?"

"That's right." Ancient One nodded gently.

After experiencing despair, she no longer wanted to use the Time Stone.

"In that case, what are you still insisting on?" Tony gave a sarcastic smile without any hesitation, "You haven't even seen the timeline we are in now, right? Everything is unknown in the first place. How can you be sure that it will be worse for me to become a wizard than not? What's more, do you think that if you don't teach me, I won't be able to surpass your future disciple? If so, I admit that you made me laugh."

He took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and threw them in front of Ancient One.

On them were the magic that Shen He copied for him, as well as his own notes.

"Your teaching can only shorten the time a little bit. Even if it's just relying on these, no one can surpass me, because I am Tony Stark." Tony said proudly, "I will definitely be the Supreme Sorcerer."
