A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe

Looking at the bald woman in front of him, dressed in a yellow monk's robe and with skin so white it seemed to glow, Luo Bai frowned slightly.

Before the woman could speak, Luo Bai greeted her first: "You're late, Ancient One."

The novels say that the Ancient One "specializes in catching" time travelers, and it turns out that she really did.

However, she appeared a little late this time; Luo Bai had been there for several days before she showed up.

"Do you know me?" Just as she was thinking, Gu Yi suddenly asked.

Her tone was very calm, and her face was expressionless.

Those dark eyes were even more hollow, looking like a soulless shell.

"The renowned Supreme Mage, it's hard not to know him," Luo Bai replied with a smile.

Gu Yi: "???"

As the most powerful sorcerer on Earth, the Ancient One is indeed famous in the sorcerer world.

However, most of the monks live in seclusion in the city, and ordinary people have almost no contact with them.

Even if you find out, it must be because you have magical talent and have been targeted by a mage who wants to take you as a disciple.

Luo Bai had never been exposed to magic, yet he found the title "Sorcerer Supreme" rather strange, but the Ancient One was too lazy to investigate further.

After staring blankly at Luo Bai for a while, Gu Yi slowly said, "A few days ago, the Earth's magic array showed abnormalities. The sorcerers detected outsiders entering Earth, heading towards the Middle East. When I arrived, I saw you rescuing Tony Stark. Because of your appearance, Tony Stark left the cave 15 days earlier, and I, who shouldn't have been there, also appeared in the Middle East."

Luo Bai was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Several days have passed since this happened. There must be a reason why you didn't come to me immediately."

Gu Yi didn't answer directly, only saying, "The future cannot be changed. I've tried many times, but I've failed every time."

Luo Bai didn't quite understand what she was trying to say, but it was normal for someone like Gu Yi, a "reclusive master," to occasionally like to use cryptic language.

Luo Bai could only guess: "So... you came to settle scores with me today?"

Gu Yi shook his head before explaining his purpose: "I sensed energy fluctuations around here, and these fluctuations originated from your bedroom. I observed you for about an hour and discovered that you used this little gadget to control the flow of time in a localized area."

As Gu spoke, he glanced at the Crazy Clock prop on the desk.

For once, Gu Yi showed some expression on his face.

She frowned slightly, as if expressing her curiosity and doubt.

When Gu asked, Luo Bai did not hide anything.

After all, the opponent is the pinnacle of Earth's combat power, so it's better to admit it openly than to try to hide it.

"This prop is called the Crazy Clock, and as you said, it can control the flow of time in a localized area," Luo Bai explained.

Gu Yi didn't delve into the origins of the props, but looked at Luo Bai very seriously and said, "You changed time, and time will change you. You wanted to use time acceleration to train your superpowers as quickly as possible, but you yourself were also affected by time acceleration. Human life cannot fight against time, you shouldn't have done this."

I thought that Gu Yi was up to no good, and even if she didn't intend to expel Luo Bai, she would at least give him a warning.

Kolo Bai never expected that the Ancient One would suddenly care about his life.

Although the Ancient One has always been silently protecting the Earth, she can be considered a sorcerer with great love.

But surely she wouldn't have the time to go out of her way to remind Luo Bai to cherish life...

Something unusual must be going on. Thinking this, Luo Bai couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you come here to drive me away?"

Before the Ancient One could answer, he continued, "Since you know I don't belong to this world, even if you don't intend to expel me, you shouldn't be so concerned about me."

Gu Yi didn't answer and remained silent for a long time.

Luo Bai had no idea what she was thinking, so he kept staring at her.

After an unknown amount of time, the Ancient One finally explained the reason: "My first trip to the Middle East was to find you and send you away. But when I saw you rescue Tony Stark 15 days ahead of schedule, I changed my mind."

"As I said before, the future cannot be changed. I have tried to change it countless times in the past, but when the time comes, everything that is meant to happen will happen."

"This time will not be brought forward or postponed, and even human intervention cannot affect what is about to happen at a specific point in time."

"But you not only made Tony leave the cave 15 days early, you also made me, who should have been in Kamar-Taj, end up in the Middle East. This made me suddenly realize that your existence might have been fate's arrangement all along."

"I've tried to understand you. But I can't see your future, nor can I understand your past. I'm not sure if banishing you would have any impact on the world, so I've decided to observe you for a while longer."

Gu Yi said a lot, but to summarize it:

She hadn't yet figured out Luo Bai's influence on the world, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

She would remind Luo Bai to cherish life, entirely out of concern that if something happened to him, such a "special" existence, it might have some impact on the Earth.

In short...

Due to various concerns, Gu Yi felt that she should observe for a longer period of time, so she did not want Luo Bai to be harmed before then.

Once Luo Bai understood that the Ancient One's concern for him was for the sake of the Earth, he felt it made sense.

"I hope your arrival won't be a bad thing for Earth." As she was thinking this, the Ancient One spoke again.

She sounded like she was talking to Luo Bai, but her voice was so soft it sounded more like she was talking to herself.

But this is not important.

The important thing is that Luo Bai knows that Gu Yi doesn't have any hostility towards him, this "time traveler," for the time being, which makes him feel relieved.

After all, with his current strength, it would be very difficult for him to fight the Sorcerer Supreme one-on-one.

Just as I was thinking this, the Ancient One spoke again: "I'm just reminding you out of goodwill. As for how you choose, I won't interfere too much."

After saying this, the Ancient One seemed to be preparing to leave.

Just as she turned around, Luo Bai suddenly asked, "Wait... Um, Supreme Mage, you should know how to cultivate spiritual power, right?"

After this period of superpower training, Luo Bai has a pretty good grasp of his abilities.

Now all he needs to do is improve his mental strength.

Even if Luo Bai trained for three full years using the super-power training box, his mental strength would likely not improve significantly.

But finding the Ancient One is a different story!

She's a mage!

The monk's spiritual power is so strong, he must have some kind of cultivation method.

With that thought in mind, Luo Bai looked at Gu Yi with expectant eyes.

The Ancient One stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Once you find Kamar-Taj, I will tell you how to cultivate spiritual power."

Have you found Kamar-Taj?

That legendary magical holy land?

With a frown, Luo Bai immediately said, "These conditions... don't seem too difficult."
