He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

But Gu Qing understood.

Simply because the owner of the sound wanted him to understand.

The world will be destroyed in five years at most.

The world, having sensed all of this, cried out for help to the "being" it believed could save it.

Gu Qing was one of them.

Perhaps everyone thinks that Gu Qing, who has only just reached level C, is too weak and has no chance of saving the world.

But this is not difficult to understand...

To save the world, you need immense power.

Gu Qing, on the other hand, was just a weakling who had barely reached the C-level.

But there are too many ways to become stronger in this world. If the world itself wanted you to become stronger, it would be too easy, many times simpler and faster than system enhancement.

Therefore, the criterion for choosing a savior is not power.

Rather, it's potential... things like a fearless heart, noble character, or special abilities.

Although Gu Qing lacked power, he displayed a prophetic ability to foresee the future—although this was all a drama he directed and acted out himself, based on movies he watched in his previous life, comic books produced by the system, and collusion with puppets.

But outsiders are unaware of this.

To outsiders, Gu Qing may not be very strong, but he possesses a prophetic wisdom.

They always seem to have foreseen the future and can see it beforehand.

Such abilities are more valued than physical strength.

Therefore, it's quite normal that he's seen as someone who has the potential to save the world.

but……

"I don't want to save the world."

Gu Qing silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and began to exhale smoke. The strong nicotine made his mind exceptionally clear.

The world is destroyed...

This is not the kind of destruction that humans perceive, where environmental damage makes it impossible for humans to survive, but rather the kind where the world itself will perish... Anything capable of doing this, whether a natural disaster or a human-caused one, is a being on a multi-dimensional level.

Even with the world's help, facing such an existence, the odds are slim to none.

Furthermore, the reason for the destruction of the universe is not hard to guess.

This world is a parallel world that split off from the UC universe, and the branching point is yourself, the transmigrator.

The dividing line between the two worlds lies in one's own actions.

And the only one who could potentially cause the destruction of the world is Sithon.

Because of his own actions, he caused a vampire to pray to the Dark Book, which attracted a wisp of the ancient god's will to descend, but in the end, he was dragged into an unknown dimension by Ghost Rider...

Although they initially thought of shifting the blame to Ghost Rider and Mephisto, they understood that this was just wishful thinking.

Chthon is a second-generation god born from the World Tree system. He is the god of the underworld and the god of dark magic, as well as the source of power for Scarlet Witch Wanda. He is one of the four remaining Chaos Ancients in the multiverse.

Although he is not an abstract entity like Eternity, over the long course of time he has absorbed endless power and authority, becoming a kind of negative concept in the universe.

His destructive acts became part of the natural order, a form of justice, and even the self-proclaimed righteous gods could not punish him.

Despite his high position, he also had a bad temper.

He will destroy everything in his sight if he dislikes someone or is in a bad mood.

With such a noble status, such great strength, and such a wicked personality, no matter how you look at it, he could not possibly let go of the place that had caused him such great humiliation.

Rather, his arrival five years later was already quite unexpected.

Gu Qing thought he would arrive in two years at most.

After all, even in the vastly different multiverse, Sithon is a formidable opponent.

Even if you are in different multiverses and need to travel through many universes to get here, it won't take too long.

There's no chance of winning against someone like that.

Gu Qing never thought of confronting him.

The time was too short to gain the strength to fight him.

Even if two years becomes five years, it will still be the same.

He is too weak now.

Even if all the puppets are included, it is still limited to a certain city, which is too far from the level of the multiverse.

His plan is to escape the universe.

There are many ways to escape.

Firstly, it relies on the system... as mentioned before.

Although the system's main function is to draw prizes, it is actually an all-powerful system. As long as you have enough wish points, you can basically do anything.

The only difference is the price.

Aside from the lottery, all the other features consume too many wish points, making them not worthwhile at all.

Gu Qing's original plan was to keep a sum of prayer points as a safety net to leave this universe, and then look for other methods...

For example, the Abnormal Time Administration or the Space Gem.

The Space Stone goes without saying.

Its energy is enough to teleport a person to an adjacent parallel world. The Space Stone is currently in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., so obtaining it would be quite simple.

And the Abnormal Time Management Bureau...

Because of the system's limitations, the Abnormal Time Management Bureau was unable to detect that this world's timeline had deviated from the so-called "sacred timeline," so it had not taken any action.

However, as soon as the system's blocking of the timeline is removed, the Abnormal Time Management Bureau will immediately detect it and send people to arrest the "time criminals" who caused the time anomalies and to cut the timeline that went astray.

Gu Qing could then take the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Abnormal Time Administration Bureau and enter other worlds from the quantum realm.

Of course, you can also go to Hank Pym.

His invention of Pym particle travel technology is enough to support people's entry into the quantum realm... As long as the whereabouts of the Wasp are told to him, he will work hard to develop the corresponding technology.

Ahem, we've gotten a bit off-topic.

In short, there are many ways to escape the universe.

Gu Qing had no reason to stay and fight to the death with Xisorn.

However, crisis and opportunity coexist.

The world sensed the danger and sent out a distress call to anyone in the universe who might be able to save it.

In order to select the true savior.

The will of the universe will operate according to destiny, causing a collision among the candidates for savior, and ultimately selecting the true savior.

Countless benefits will come in the process.

Anyone who participates will reap endless benefits.

Even more remarkably, the ultimate victor, the "Savior," will ascend to become a single-universe deity.

Even at its peak.

It's hard for Gu Qing not to be tempted by such a offer.

But he was also well aware that, setting aside the Sithon he would have to face after becoming the savior, he would have a hard time winning even in the struggle for the title of savior.

The universe is too vast, and there are too many individuals with potential. To compete with the chosen ones of the entire universe is incredibly difficult.

"...I have a system. As long as I follow the steps, I will grow sooner or later. There is no need to take risks."

After a moment's thought, Gu Qing made a decision.

Then, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Human desires can cloud judgment when faced with huge profits, causing people to ignore the enormous risks involved and do extremely irrational things.

Gu Qing also struggled with the decision for a long time before making it.

but……

"My chest hurts so much!"

Gu Qing clutched her chest, her gaze fixed on the burning cigarette between her fingers, her heart still filled with turmoil.

He knew why.

While this is the most rational decision in terms of risk aversion, it is also, in another sense, an act of escapism.

To escape the power of Sithon.

To escape competition with the most promising chosen ones in the universe.

Forget about Sithon.

The gap between the two is too large.

But he is also a globally recognized candidate for savior, the chosen one of this universe...

Although this identity was obtained through deception.

But being able to fool the world itself is also a talent.

As fellow candidates for savior, they lacked the confidence to compete and even the courage to do so. Even when they tried to convince themselves with reasons like "this is the decision of a wise man," they could not truly convince themselves.

Unwilling to accept this!

This is human nature.

Everyone is a candidate for savior, so why can't I be the winner?

Even with a system and an intelligence advantage, I lack the confidence to win... so how can I truly become the supreme being?

Gu Qing kept questioning the decision he had just made, and even had a vague premonition: if he really ran away this time, he would never be able to truly reach the ranks of the strong.

Instead of strengthening himself, he summoned puppets. Besides wanting to earn more wish points before the supernatural became commonplace, he also thought that it was not worthwhile to use wish points to strengthen himself.
