All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 268 The Little Spider's Mentor
"Don't stay outside alone, come in and have some late-night snacks!"

Chu Xiu's voice suddenly rang out, but Peter Parker looked around and couldn't see him. For a moment, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

He even mocked himself in his heart.

"How could I possibly imagine that others would treat me kindly? Perhaps my uncle is the only one in the world who believes in the saying 'With great power comes great responsibility'?"

At this moment, his thoughts were dangerous, even bordering on the dark side.

Chu Xiu, sensing this, couldn't help but show a surprised expression. He quickly walked over, suddenly jumped over the courtyard wall, and came to Peter Parker, saying, "Looks like you're in trouble!"

After saying that, he reached out and touched the other person's wound.

The next moment, to Peter Parker's astonishment, the wound actually healed!

"This is?"

"A little application of mental power!" Chu Xiu smiled and said, "People with weak minds can't even control their emotions, they get caught in internal conflict and become very decadent. People with strong minds can always maintain their rationality, and can even use their minds to interfere with their bodies to gain great power. And people with extremely strong minds can interfere with matter and even influence others!"

Peter Parker was very curious about this.

But soon, he looked dejected and said, "I might just be the kind of person with a weak heart!"

Chu Xiu remained silent in response.

Instead, they pulled him inside, lit a bonfire, and started roasting chicken wings.

I also grabbed a bottle of milk for Peter Parker.

Then he said, "If you were truly a weak-willed person, you would have died immediately after being bitten by that spider, and there would be no Spider-Man! On the contrary, you are someone with an extremely strong mind, almost capable of interfering with matter!"

These words startled Peter Parker.

"Really?"

"real!"

Chu Xiu wasn't trying to fool him.

There's a saying in the Marvel Universe: "The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation," which is a joke.

In reality, the key to becoming a hero for Marvel superheroes lies in their hearts.

Chu Xiu only discovered this after he arrived.

Whether it's Tony Stark or Peter Parker, they all have one thing in common: an extremely strong mind. A strong mind can control one's own power, which is why they become superheroes.

It might sound a bit abstract.

In layman's terms, it means that their minds will not be affected by the expansion of their power.

According to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they are all "Earth gods" because they possess divinity within their humanity, not because they became superheroes.

Conversely, counterexamples include Phoenix from X-Men and Kaecilius from The Wizard.

They lack the mental capacity to control themselves.

Something, even the power of their minds, interfered with the rules of the universe, thus giving birth to it—Chu Xiu tried to replicate Tony's Iron Man suit, but found it useless in the end.

It's not that the technology is so advanced, it's just that, damn it, some things are idealistic.

Do you believe it?
But that's the truth: Marvel may seem like a science fiction world, but it's actually a fantasy world!
But I digress. Let's get back to the present.

Chu Xiu's words brought Peter Parker some comfort, and he opened up, saying, "I encountered two major events today that will change my life, and I don't know what to do next!"

This puzzled Chu Xiu.

"Two pieces?"

“Yes!” Peter Parker said, “One thing was that I lost my beloved uncle! The bad guy I had let go, I killed him when he tried to stop him. Before he died, my uncle told me, ‘With great power comes great responsibility.’ I thought I had transformed at that moment and would never be confused again. I naively believed him then!”

Chu Xiu was no stranger to this.

Spider-Man's growth, huh!
It was his uncle's death, and his last words, that shaped the Spider-Man we know today.

But clearly, this time, things are not so simple—judging from Peter Parker's attitude, he now believes his uncle is wrong and does not believe that statement!
His behavior was also somewhat strange. His uncle, who was like a father to him, had just died, and his aunt, who was like a mother to him, needed him most.

He didn't go back!
"What exactly happened?" Chu Xiu asked.

Upon hearing this, Peter Parker did not hide anything and told everything he had seen and heard: just like in the original story, he went to an underground boxing ring to fight for a day in order to earn some money.

But when it came time to settle the bill, the boxing ring staff cheated him out of his money.

In his anger, he did not stop people from robbing the boxing ring.

As a result, after the man escaped, he encountered Peter Parker's uncle on the street and killed him with a single blow—Peter Parker believed that his uncle's death was due to his failure to stop him.

His uncle noticed his confusion and offered him the advice, "With great power comes great responsibility."

Everything is fine here.

However, when Peter Parker found the robber, apprehended him, handed him over to the police station, and returned the stolen money to the boxing ring, an unexpected incident occurred: he encountered another robbery of the boxing ring!
This time, he did not stand idly by.

He went up and fought with the robbers, sustaining several injuries, but didn't gain the upper hand.

Instead, they watched helplessly as the other party killed the boxing ring owner.

It was at this moment that the situation took a turn for the better: after robbing the victim, the perpetrators made off with the money and even called the police on the way!

Then the police investigated and found that, to their surprise, the boxing ring had committed double-digit murders due to underground boxing matches.

And what about the robber?
What a coincidence, it's Zhang!
Peter Parker followed them and found out that the people who had been killed were from the boxing ring. They told Zhang about their experiences after meeting him, and only then did Zhang take action to punish the wicked.

He killed the boxing ring owner.

Most of the stolen money was given to the victims, with only a small amount left for himself.

"Tell me, what am I protecting? Is my uncle's death worthless?" Peter Parker asked, bewildered. "Compared to that wanted Zhang, am I aiding and abetting evil, more like a bad guy? Should I continue protecting those people?"

This is a very pointed question.

Zhou Wushang didn't know how to answer.

The world is not simply black and white.

The conflict between Zhou Wudao and Hui Wannian was for the sake of Blue Star, but their actions regarding the Mark of the Heavens were completely opposite.

How do we distinguish between right and wrong?

“I don’t know about other things, but there’s one thing you might have overlooked!” Chu Xiu said, “Your uncle doesn’t know about the boxing ring owner’s evil deeds, and he might not even know it was an underground boxing ring. What he saw was just an ordinary robbery. He just hoped that you would stand up when faced with evil, that’s all!”

These words startled Peter Parker.

"so?"

“Follow your heart. If you see evil, of course you should intervene. If you intervene incorrectly, just correct it. It’s that simple!” Chu Xiu said, “What are you still confused about?”

Upon hearing this, Peter Parker was taken aback at first, but then his confusion vanished.

He said, "I have something to do, I'll head back now!"

After saying that, he got up and walked out, but after a few steps, he turned back and said, "Sir, thank you for your guidance today. You are the wisest person I have ever met, without exception!"

This made Zhou Wushang cover his mouth and chuckle.

He telepathically replied, "I've fooled one!"

"Nonsense, how can you call it deception? I genuinely gave him guidance, okay?" Chu Xiu said, and tried to pull Zhou Wushang to do something.

But at that moment, the surrounding space suddenly distorted.

Immediately afterwards, a large bald head appeared.

"Spider-Man's fate has changed, and the future of the Avengers has changed. Aren't you afraid of the backlash from fate for recklessly altering destiny like this?"
