Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Ten minutes later, deep within Taro Village.

In a quaint little courtyard, Peter and Daisy were eating fruits they had never seen before.

Opposite him, an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged woman with a somewhat serious demeanor were frowning and scrutinizing them.

It was Elder Guangbo of Taro Village and the village's guardian, Yingnan.

"Where did you hear about the Soul Eater?" Ying Nan, Ying Li's younger sister and Shang Qi's aunt, looked at Peter with equally wary eyes.

She could sense that Peter was very strong, but she wasn't even sure just how strong he was.

Peter casually tossed the ring onto the coffee table, and Yingnan was taken aback the moment she saw it:

"What did you do to my sister and Wenwu?"

"Your sister died more than a decade ago. Xu Wenwu, bewitched by the Soul-Eating Demon, has been trying to return to Tarot Village to break the seal all these years. If I hadn't come, your fate would have been even worse..."

As Peter recounted everything about Xu Wenwu, both Guangbo and Yingnan's expressions changed.

They never imagined that Xu Wenwu was such a person, let alone that their previous decision would harm Yingli.

After a long silence, Guangbo looked at Peter and said:

"Young man, we in Tarot Village appreciate your kindness, but the Soul Eater is not made by human power..."

Before he could finish speaking, Peter suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura. The resonance of the two gods, cosmic energy, immortal mode... all sorts of terrifying energies that Guangbo had never heard of before rotated through Peter's body like a revolving lantern.

Ying Nan, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded.

She could clearly sense that any one of these energies could easily crush her to death.

He and the young man in front of him seemed to be from completely different dimensions!

"Do you still have any questions?" Peter asked.

Guangbo shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum, then bowed respectfully to Peter and said:

"Warrior, the Soul Eater is now in your hands. You are free to come and go as you please in Tarot Village these days, and no one will stop you."

Very good, old man, your path has widened considerably since then!

Peter gave him an appreciative look, then turned to Yingnan and said:

"You're in charge of taking good care of my girlfriend, and you'd better teach her some of your Tarot martial arts."

After saying this, Peter flashed and instantly appeared on the lake in the center of the village.

"WATER PLEASE~!"

The Wizard's Drive appeared at Peter's waist.

Attribute switching complete.

Enveloped in the magic of water, Peter immediately leaped into the lake without a word.

Yingnan stared blankly at Peter, who seemed to have completely melted into the lake water, and couldn't help but look at Daisy and ask:

"Who exactly is he?"

Upon hearing this question, Daisy tilted her head, then thought of an explanation that Yingnan could understand:

"You're the guardian of your village, right?"

Yingnan nodded gently.

"He's practically the guardian of our planet," Daisy said earnestly, her voice filled with admiration for Peter.

……

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the lake.

Peter used his ability to completely liquefy water to complete the search of the lake bottom in the blink of an eye.

His gaze quickly settled on a huge dragon-shaped stone sculpture.

"Is it because they are so old that they can only extend their lifespan by petrification?"

As he muttered this, Peter placed his hand on the dragon-shaped stone sculpture. Immediately, the natural energy he had accumulated over the years enveloped his entire body, and he entered a state of divine power almost in the blink of an eye.

Natural energy flowed into the statue through Peter's arm.

The next second, the stone shell on the statue began to fall off in a rustling sound, and soon a white dragon appeared before our eyes.

The white dragon looked at Peter without speaking, but its voice clearly reached Peter's ears:

【Who are you? 】

"Peter Parker," Peter said, clasping his hands in a fist salute from the water, "excuse me."

You're not from this village.

"No. I came from outside."

What is the outside world like now?

This question startled Peter. A dragon that had been asleep for who knows how many years had awakened, and this was the first question it asked.

"It's quite lively," Peter answered truthfully. "There are good things and bad things, but overall, it's not the end of the world yet. I'll handle it, and we won't let those alien creatures harm this planet."

The dragon blinked, its scrutiny turning into curiosity.

Your power is complex... it even contains many powers that I cannot comprehend. With such immense strength, what else do you desire to gain by arriving here?

"The Soul Eater," Peter replied succinctly.

"I'll help you deal with him; that would fulfill your wish, wouldn't it?"

These two words resembled some kind of switch. The dragon's pupils suddenly contracted, the entire lakebed trembled, and the villagers on the surface almost thought an earthquake had occurred.

Do you want to open the stone door?

"Not only do I want to open it, I want to completely destroy what's inside."

A long silence.

"It cannot be killed." The dragon's voice deepened. "Your ancestors tried many methods—fire, flood, lightning—but none could subdue it."

"Just because those methods don't work doesn't mean my methods don't work."

What methods do you have?

"You'll find out then," Peter smiled. "Right now, I need your help with two things."

【explain.】

"First, give me your scales, I need them a lot. Second—" Peter showed off the small, worn-out watch on his left wrist, "Let me use this to replicate your genes."

Upon hearing this, Bai Long's expression became quite subtle.

You want to steal my power?

"It's not stealing, it's a perfectly legitimate inheritance. Since you won't live much longer anyway, why not pass on your power to me?"

Bai Long remained silent for a while, then a smile clearly appeared in his eyes:

"You're the first human to dare speak to me like that, but you're right, if you can defeat the Soul Eater, then I can finally sleep peacefully."

Having said that, it shook its body, and hundreds of palm-sized dragon scales slowly floated to Peter's front.

Here, take it. I'll be fighting alongside you later; I hope you won't let me down.

"There's no need to fight together. Since we can live two more years, why not live two more years too?"

……

As bubbles billowed around him, Peter's figure slowly emerged from the bottom of the lake.

Daisy was the first to rush over:

"Peter, you're finally out! I thought you'd been eaten by that dragon!"

wow~

Huge waves surged on the lake, and the white dragon suddenly appeared, splashing water all over Daisy.

Peter was both amused and exasperated by the sight, not expecting the old dragon to be so mischievous.

Upon seeing the white dragon appear, the surrounding Tarot villagers couldn't help but kneel down.

Guangbo couldn't help but kneel down, then looked at Peter and asked:

"Young man, are you really going to confront the Soul Eater?"

"Otherwise, what would I be doing here? Just to freeload a meal?"

Guangbo was taken aback by Peter's retort, but still hesitated before looking at Peter and asking, "How confident are you?"

Peter gave him a confident smile:

"The answer is 100%."
