Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lan's expression remained unchanged.

"Supreme Master, your thinking is too naive. You are too fixated on the concepts of justice and evil; it's just a difference in perspective."

"It's hard to say whether the destruction of a dimensional planet is just a drop in the ocean or the collapse of Mount Tai..."

Zhou Lan looked up at the universe and said softly, "Or rather, in other worlds, I have already destroyed planets like this, and countless others have been born."

Zhou Lan smiled silently.

He saw the hardships Gu Yi was going through.

Unfortunately, he is not even at his peak right now.

Controlling the moon to crash down was a power he acquired shortly after his release from prison.

But he knew that the Ancient One had another way.

Right now, the Ancient One's hands moved across her chest, forming a mysterious arc.

The pendant that had always hung on her chest seemed to be drawn by this power, and a faint green light, like an oasis in the desert, revealed its true nature.

The Eye of Agamotto.

This is also one of the Ancient One's powers.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's the most important.

Of course, it has another name.

The Time Stone.

A green light appeared amidst the vibrations, remaining constant.

The Ancient One used its power many times, and even her ability to foresee the future originated from it.

And at this moment, in the Ancient One's heart, it was undoubtedly the most critical moment.

In an instant, everything that was rising upwards, the snowflakes on the mountain, slowed down.

The world seemed to freeze.

Even the Ancient One's figure began to become sluggish and heavy.

She took a step back, her body leaving a mesmerizing afterimage, a truly magical existence aided by the Time Stone.

She is capable of doing an infinite number of things.

The arcs of Gu Yi's palms had been stained dark green, and an endless timeline, invisible to others, unfolded before her eyes.

Even thoughts that seem complicated at first glance are perfectly clear in her eyes.

She lifted her foot and stepped into the time she had chosen.

In an instant, the world changed.

She arrived before Zhou Lan lifted the Himalayas and called upon the moon.

Here, she faced Zhou Lan again.

But a few seconds later, the roar of the heavens and earth came again, and everything remained the same.

In this timeline, she was no longer able to stop Zhou Lan.

So she got up again and went through the passage once more.

The roaring sound in her ears seemed to have become the norm. She tried again and again, attempting to find the only possible solution to stop Zhou Lan from doing everything in the original timeline.

Once, ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times... or even more.

Time seemed endless as she moved through it all.

Multiple phantoms flickered across her body, as she explored the outward manifestations of countless timelines.

In 99.9% of the timeline, she attempted to defeat Zhou Lan head-on.

But it failed.

She had no chance of defeating the mage who had suddenly appeared before her.

Sometimes, she wouldn't even have time to see Zhou Lan lift Mount Himalaya before she was knocked to the ground.

And sometimes, in the foreseeable future, the moon lands.

The entire Earth was destroyed and shattered with a mournful cry.

That was the real end.

She kept moving back and forth until she found the only possibility.

The Time Stone is not unsolvable.

Every gemstone must rely on the power of its user.

But the Ancient One is undoubtedly one of the most suitable users.

In the future, her apprentice Doctor Strange will be able to find the only solution to defeat Thanos through fourteen million attempts.

And she can explore many more times.

She possesses that power.

In the original timeline, the Ancient One suddenly seemed to come to her senses, stood still, and looked at Zhou Lan.

It may seem like only a moment, but she has already gone through nearly a hundred million attempts.

She found it.

That one and only possibility.

That's the only way to defeat the enemy in front of us.

In a search that was one in a hundred million, she found the optimal solution.

She looked at Zhou Lan and said slowly, "I think we can sit down and have a good talk about the issue you mentioned."

Her voice reached Zhou Lan.

It carried a sense of weariness and a helpless resignation.

The opponent before us is almost unbeatable.

In many timelines, she even tried to burn herself out in order to win a battle.

She even managed to defeat Zhou Lan in her current state.

But in that timeline, Zhou Lan simply smiled and then entered the second stage.

She even tried to enter other dimensions to seek help, attempting to see through Zhou Lan's true nature.

But all that met the eye was a bewildering universe.

This is an existence even more terrifying than the Dark Lord.

The power the opponent possesses cannot be explained by a single dimension or world.

Such an opponent had already presented her with the only solution out of a hundred million attempts.

"When I want to reason with you, you'd better sit down and listen."

This is the only answer the Ancient One found.

That means listening to this monk.

This is a disheartening result.

But it was an outcome that could not be avoided.

When Gu Yi finally uttered those words, Zhou Lan's response was a smile.

He calmly withdrew his power, casually commanded the moon to return to its place, and then looked at Gu Yidao: "It seems that you have listened carefully to what I said."

"Is that right, Sorcerer Supreme?"

Gu Yi nodded wearily.

It's not that she didn't want to try and persevere; she just really had no other options.

This left her feeling helpless and disappointed.

The only way to defeat an enemy is actually to deal with the enemy himself?

The other person turned out to be someone I could actually have a good conversation with.

Thus, the question she had when she first met Zhou Lan was answered.

Zhou Lan.

He came without malice, but also without any goodwill.

He just showed up like that, solely for his own purposes.

Whatever means are involved, you must accept it.

Whether it's the Sorcerer Supreme or any other being, when he appears, the only thing the recipient needs to consider is this:

Is it about yielding and submitting to the other party's will?

Or rather, carry out the other party's will through destruction.

This is an easy choice.

The Ancient One found the answer through a hundred million attempts.

She waved her hand weakly and said sadly, "I'll go... make a cup of tea."

Chapter 400 The Moon Demon's Way

The Ancient One finally gave in.

She had no choice.

Even with the Eye of Agamotto, the miraculous Time Stone, she couldn't find a way to defeat Zhou Lan.

So, what else could she do besides make a cup of tea for this outsider?

A sense of helplessness overwhelmed her, making her appear to age instantly.

She wouldn't have aged or died easily.

After connecting to the Dark Dimension, she secretly stole power from it, which made her lifespan almost endless and prevented her from aging in the slightest.

After all, she is already hundreds of years old in her current state.

But Zhou Lan.

The person who suddenly appeared in front of her sent a chill down Gu Yi's spine as she glanced at Zhou Lan.

This being is far more terrifying than the Dark Dimension.

Actually, after a hundred million attempts, she still had one more trick up her sleeve.

The Eye of Agamotto can be used not only to travel through billions of timelines to find answers.

You can also trap the other party in a constantly looping timeline to achieve your own goals.

But the Ancient One no longer wanted to try.

She is tired.

For her now, there's no doubt that making a cup of tea is much more relaxing.

As for what Zhou Lan actually wanted to get from Thor.

who cares.

She tried her best to stop it, but it wasn't her responsibility if she couldn't.

If all else fails, let Odin from Asgard come down and see if he can reason with this guy.

No, it would be better to let this one go to Asgard himself, so that humanity on Earth will not suffer another undeserved disaster.

"Here." Gu Yi sat down and pushed the steaming teacup in front of Zhou Lan.

“You are a powerful mage, and I am no match for you,” the Ancient One sighed. “As for what you intend to do, I cannot stop you.”

"However, if your actions cause immeasurable damage to the Earth, I will try to stop you even if it costs me my life or burns out the power of the Eye of Agamotto."
