Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

The setting sun painted the sky a soft orange-red.

Lin Yi raised his glass, and sunlight refracted through the transparent glass, creating a kaleidoscope of colors.

Tony knew the source of his abilities and that he would grow stronger rapidly on the sun. He guessed what he wanted to do, but he didn't say it outright or offer any advice. He simply told himself a story.

It's not really a story, but rather Tony's own experiences and feelings.

Becoming stronger is a good thing, but becoming too strong, to the point where you can't control it, can lead to irreparable destruction.

Ultimately, Lin Yi's current mindset is that of an ordinary person five years ago. After five years of peaceful life, the sudden start of the plot has made Lin Yi somewhat unaccustomed to it. His previous passive behavior was precisely because his peaceful life was suddenly disrupted, and the reality of it was not thorough enough.

The sudden outburst, and the reckless abandonment of the limitations of the super brain, also demonstrates Lin Yi's normal, laid-back mentality.

A super brain brings learning ability and absolute rationality and logical thinking, but it cannot help Lin Yi analyze emotional and ethical issues.

"Power that doesn't align with your soul will cause you to lose yourself."

"To use an analogy that you young people can understand, it's like a baby stepping on the gas pedal; the vehicle will go out of control, endangering others and itself."

A sudden voice sounded from behind. Who was it this time?

Lin Yi turned around and saw Gu Yi with a bald head.

No, it's not the bald Ancient One!

Lin Yi opened his mouth, somewhat incredulously asking, "Master? How did you get here?"

The smiling Ancient One in front of me is the Ancient One from 2012 who traveled through the Quantum Realm to borrow the Infinity Stones!

The Ancient One stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he said, "Cosmic collisions are becoming more and more frequent, making it easier to open channels without requiring as much energy or conditions."

"As for why I came here, it's because of you."

"Me?" Lin Yi pointed to his nose. "What do I have that would make you come all the way from across the universe to find me? Or has something else happened?"

"Nothing happened, but you seem to be facing two choices now, am I right?"

"Ha..." Lin Yi chuckled slightly, "How did you know all this time? One by one you keep saying I'm absolutely unique and that you can't see my future. I always feel like you're just fooling me..."

Gu Yi shook her head and stepped forward: "Just because I can't see your future doesn't mean I can't see the future direction of the universe."

"Your choice this time will lead to two completely different outcomes, so I have to make this trip."

"Just like I said, it's like a baby stepping on the gas pedal. Your current physical strength is already beyond the realm of humans, but this is far from your limit."

"You possess an exceptionally simple method that can greatly enhance your abilities in a very short time. However, your soul is not strong enough; if you obtain this power, you are very likely to lose control."

"Didn't you witness several examples yourself?" The Ancient One waved her hand, and a phantom appeared in the sky—it was the long-haired Ancient One.

"This 'I' has become lost in the power of the dark dimension, and this is neither the first nor the last."

"What Tony just said about 'steel bullies' was also very interesting. It's the same principle: if the strength of the soul doesn't match the strength of the soul, it will eventually destroy everything."

"Is my soul not strong enough?" Lin Yi asked. To be honest, he had never really experienced what he was like in his soul state.

Want to try it?

Gu Yi shook her head and continued, "When I say 'powerful soul,' I don't just mean physical strength in the literal sense."

"To make your soul stronger, in addition to spiritual practice, you also need to go out and see the universe, feel life, reflect on yourself, believe in kindness, discover beauty, and strengthen your beliefs."

"Only in this way can you master that power, instead of letting that power control you."

"You probably wouldn't want to experience that feeling again, would you?"

Gu Yi's words were pointed, it seems she knew about Lin Yi's near-rebooting of the universe.

Lin Yi nodded in deep agreement; he did indeed feel as if he were being controlled by the super brain. That feeling—that power that was his own, that he could control, yet that it almost made him lose his way—was awful.

Is this what they mean by the soul not being strong enough?

Lin Yi suddenly realized that it seemed every superhero had a past they were unwilling to talk about, but which made them truly grow and stand on their own.

However, Lin Yi doesn't want this kind of thing to happen to him. How can he balance this?

Lin Yi asked Master Gu Yi.

"So, you want to use power to prevent a potentially tragic future from happening?"

"But changing that future requires you to have sufficient ability?"

Gu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Although the universes are colliding, we still have a fair amount of time. Lin Yi, restoring the universe to normalcy is not something you can do alone, nor is it something that can be accomplished overnight by those who are watching."

"Things are far from that point. I think you're... thinking too far ahead."

"Take care of what's in front of you first, and steadily improve your abilities and your inner self; that's what you should be doing."

"You and those superheroes started from a different point. You may never experience what happened to them, so your spiritual growth will be more difficult than theirs."

"But you have the ability to drag the universe down with you to destruction. If the things you fear really happen, then you can reveal your trump cards at that time."

"Now is not the time; you still have plenty of time to grow."

As expected of the Ancient One, although she is a veteran riddle teller, her ability to offer guidance is undeniably first-rate.

Lin Yi suddenly smiled, and his thoughts were sorted out after being guided by the two people.

Yes, I still have time. If it really comes to that, I have more than one way out.

This isn't a game where you can start over. Your absolute uniqueness will solidify the timeline, and one wrong move can be irreversible.

Of course, he didn't know whether he would have the ability to start over in the future, but he didn't want to take that risk.

After making the decision, Lin Yi felt something fall silently, and her mood suddenly became much lighter.

Exhaling, Lin Yi revealed a genuine smile that she hadn't shown in the past two days.

"It seems that those who live longer know more, both you and Tony do."

Gu Yi shook her head helplessly: "I'll take that as a compliment. It seems you've already made up your mind."

"That's right." Lin Yi stood up, clenched his fist, and felt the fullness of his body and energy.

"I'll go check out the Grandmaster's game universe, maybe even participate in the competition, to see how those beings struggle... well, that might not be the right way to put it."

"I will go and see the beliefs of those life forms, and I hope this trip will be helpful to me..."

Gu Yi gave a relieved smile: "Believe me, it will happen."

At that very moment, the ancient one vaguely perceived two futures, one black and one white, with the black one gradually shrinking.
