Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1009 I came here specially to see you off
"These qualities remind me of Casillas. Casillas, who was once my most proud student, eventually fell to the dark side. I don't want to lose another talented student."

She did not want to narrowly protect the so-called "magic should not be passed on lightly" tradition, but sincerely hoped that Strange could grow into a more mature and humble wizard.

She paused and continued, "I have experienced the vicissitudes of life and have also endured deep pain. People can have pride, but never arrogance. Pride is the spiritual pillar of self-persistence and perseverance; while arrogance is a deadly poison that leads to blind arrogance and contempt for others."

"Time and the future tell you that you should do this...but what's the point of seeing the future?"

Luther took the teacup handed to him by Gu Yi. The teacup was also a top-notch collection. It was said to be one of the oldest tea sets in the world. Its exquisite craftsmanship and elegant design all demonstrated the pinnacle luxury style of that era.

Luther gently stroked the delicate lines on the teacup and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Living a long life really has its benefits. You can even accumulate a lot of antiques.

“The future that can be seen guarantees that nothing will go wrong.”

Master Gu Yi took a sip of tea, his tone filled with a hint of indifference and detachment.

For her, foreseeing the future is not about controlling everything, but about better guidance and protection.

However, this foresight into the future also caused her to lose her desire for the unknown and the courage to explore it to some extent.

Hearing this, Luther shook his head slightly, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes.

"Old people's thinking is conservative and they are afraid of change and new things."

Although his words were direct, they were well-intentioned.

In his opinion, although Master Ancient One is extremely wise, when facing the future, he seems to rely too much on existing knowledge and experience, and ignores the power of change and innovation.

"Your Majesty Luther, you know that foreseeing the future is not an easy task, let alone a pleasant one."

The voice of Master Gu Yi echoed in the quiet tea room, with a kind of otherworldly indifference.

She gently put down the teacup in her hand, and the delicate porcelain and the tabletop made a subtle but crisp sound, like an hourglass of time, inadvertently passing traces of the years.

Her gaze penetrated the window lattice and looked into the distance. The ancient buildings of Kamar-Taj looked more solemn and mysterious in the afterglow of the setting sun. The golden light was intertwined with the ancient bricks and stones, as if every stone carried thousands of years of stories and wisdom.

“The future I see is full of uncertainty and variables.”

Master Ancient One said this without any emotion.

Her eyes are like the deep universe, hiding endless secrets and wisdom.

"Each choice may lead to completely different results. As a guardian, I must act with caution to ensure that the worst result does not happen. This responsibility is both my honor and my shackles."

Luther listened quietly, his face calm but his eyes gleaming with thought.

The weight that Master Ancient One bears, his protection and sacrifice for the world, are hard for ordinary people to imagine.

However, he also has ideas of his own and has a very different view of the future.

"But it is these uncertainties and variables that constitute the charm of life."

Luther retorted.

“If everything is predictable, then life will lose the joy of exploration. We work hard because the future is full of unknowns and possibilities. It is these unknowns that allow us to take brave steps to pursue our dreams, challenge ourselves, and create our own miracles.”

Upon hearing this, Master Ancient One smiled faintly.

She understood Luther's point of view and respected his choice. In her opinion, everyone has a different attitude towards life, just as there are no two leaves in the world that are exactly the same.

The path she has taken is indeed full of sacrifice and responsibility, but it is also something she voluntarily undertakes and is her mission as the guardian of Kamar-Taj.

As for young people like Luther or Strange, they may be more eager for freedom and exploration, and are more willing to write their own legends in their own way. This youthful power and this desire for the unknown are the driving force behind the world's continuous progress and evolution.

"Your Majesty wants nothing more than to hold funeral ceremonies for me after my death."

Master Ancient One suddenly changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and relief.

She seemed to have seen through Luther's thoughts long ago, knowing that this powerful being, although he looked cold and aloof on the surface, had special feelings of his own deep in his heart.

Luther was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He was confident that the power of the Time Stone could not directly see him, let alone affect him.

After all, he has surpassed the limitations of the single universe and reached the level of the multiverse.

However, Master Ancient One's words made him fall into deep thought.

"Can the Time Stone see my future?"

Luther asked in surprise.

"I can't see it, but I can see the impact your majesty has caused."

Master Ancient One said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.

Luther immediately understood what she meant.

For Master Ancient One, directly observing him was indeed a completely impossible task.

However, she has her disciples, Kamar-Taj, and the entire Earth, too many things that can be observed indirectly.

From these, she can infer his actions and even predict his future.

Thinking of this, Luther couldn't help but laugh.

He originally thought that he was strong enough and transcendent enough, but he didn't expect that he was still too young in front of this ancient wizard.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that old ginger is still spicy, old people are smarter, ghosts are more clever, and turtles are smarter. I still underestimated your wisdom."

Master Ancient One smiled slightly and said nothing more.

She knew that Luther had understood what she meant.

And for her, being able to see someone like Luther is a rare experience.

After all, in this multiverse, there are only a handful of beings who can reach his level.

"However, speaking of what happens after death, I am a little curious."

Luther suddenly changed the subject and said.

"What kind of scene did you see?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on Master Ancient One's face suddenly faded a little.

She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty's impact is indeed extraordinary. I see that in the future, I will be sent away by a special ceremony. That ceremony is full of mystery and solemnity."
