The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 517 Eternity
In response to Yang Le's question, Yongheng gave an answer with a smile.

"Of course it's because of you, Mr. Yang Le."

Sir? I'm truly flattered.

Yang Le felt the kindness released by Eternal, but this only exacerbated his doubts. Was it just because he saved Eternal? Not really. Throughout the chaotic history of the Marvel Universe, many people had helped Eternal, but he had never seemed to take it seriously.

At least he never deigned to come to Earth and shrink down to normal size.

"You do have a unique understanding of the multiverse, but you may have forgotten one thing."

Yongheng said this with a wave of his hand, and the surrounding scene changed. The New York City, which was originally in ruins, turned into the vast and boundless universe.

"As you know, the multiverse undergoes updates and upgrades. Before it was destroyed by the Transcendents, the universe had already been updated to the seventh universe."

Yang Le nodded. He knew this. Although he was not very clear about the subsequent development of the universe, he at least knew several of the universe's incarnations and some things about the eighth universe.

"Every renewal of the universe represents the birth of a new force. Let's skip the first universe for now and start from the second universe."

"The second universe brought infinite possibilities, the third universe brought existence and non-existence, the fourth universe brought good and evil, the fifth universe brought magic, and the sixth universe brought science. The accumulation of these forces formed the current seventh... no, eighth universe."

"Now, let's talk about the First Universe. We call it the First Firmament. As the original universe, the First Firmament itself is a single universe. Just like its entity, the First Firmament likes to remain unchanged and does not allow any variables outside of its permitted range."

"But a group of his creations began to disagree with his ideas, leading to a major war. Ultimately, the First Sky was defeated. He was blown to pieces and went into hiding with his most loyal servants, searching for an opportunity to make a comeback."

"However, since the Second Universe, due to the infinite possibilities, each cosmic iteration has brought new power. The accumulation of these powers has prevented the First Sky from finding an opportunity to take action until the experiment of the Beyond Gods."

"The Transcendent Gods forcibly ended the Seventh Universe. This abnormal iteration was likely an opportunity for the First Sky to exploit. But then you came along, defeated the Transcendent Gods, and then helped me smoothly transition to the Eighth Universe at my peak. As a result, the thing I was worried about never happened."

"And this is exactly why I want to thank you." Yongheng stretched out his right hand in the direction of Yang Le, expressing his goodwill as much as possible.

So that's how it is. Yang Le suddenly realized that although he had read many comics, he was not a die-hard fan after all. And due to special reasons, it was very difficult for fans in mainland China to see translated resources. This resulted in Yang Le's knowledge of Marvel being all over the place.

So he only had a vague understanding of some things, and it was only after Eternal's explanation that he finally understood the cause and effect.

"I'm ashamed," Yongheng said, his face etched with shame. "You clearly helped the entire multiverse resolve a catastrophe, yet I can't offer anything useful as a thank you." Yongheng considered Yang Le's current identity to be one of his Superman incarnations, and facing such immense power, he couldn't offer anything worthy of praise.

This is also one of the reasons why Yongheng is so respectful. In his eyes, Yang Le is a life of the same level as himself or even higher than himself. He is a god of the same level, so he naturally has to be more polite when speaking to him.

Yang Le was about to wave his hand to show that he didn't care, but Yongheng suddenly changed the subject and continued.

"Just when I was at my wit's end, you suddenly had an idea and created a whole new universe. Logically, this shouldn't be allowed, but I still classified it as one of me, though I didn't interfere too much."

"I see." Yang Le clapped his hands. "So this is why the superhumans in this universe are so chaotic."

In other Marvel parallel universes, although the origins of those heroes are different, they are basically the same, and there will not be any changes in the most critical places. But it is different in the 9527 universe, it is very chaotic and unique.

"This is the result of the universe's natural growth," Yongheng nodded. "Without the interference of special entities, those special individuals in Universe 9527 never experienced their destined day. If I hadn't incorporated it into my body, that special energy wouldn't even exist in this universe."

In other words, no superhumans will be born. Yang Le now finally understood what the Sentinel meant when he said, "Take a good look at this universe." It turned out that he meant that he should be responsible for giving birth but not raising the children, while Eternity would take care of everything for him.

"That's why I asked Robert to stop you." Yongheng waved his hand and the universe dissipated. Yang Le and others once again returned to the ruined New York.

"This OBA invasion also sounded the alarm for me. In a universe without superheroes who represent infinite possibilities, there is almost no way to defend against those dark powers."

"So I activated Robert while he was in a trance, causing him to change the form of energy and allow these heroes to experience their destined day."

Eternal waved his hand again, and a picture appeared in Yang Le's mind. In an unknown distance away, the Fantastic Four who were originally fleeing were now enveloped by the exploding energy.

Among this group of people, Ben had changed the most. His exposed skin was no longer like that of a normal person, but a layer of rough rock slab. He had not noticed his changes at the moment before time stopped. He just tried hard to press everyone under him, as if he wanted to help his companions block the exploding energy.

Even though he didn't know what that thing was or whether it would be useful, he still did it.

"The Fantastic Four are famous in every universe, but in this universe they haven't experienced cosmic radiation. Although they will soon experience that cosmic journey, they won't gain anything from it."

"It's not just them. Many superheroes, like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Hulk, will not experience their destined day. This is why the OBA is targeting this universe. He is too weak and cannot even resist the forces of darkness."
