Marvel: Awakening the Universe.

Chapter 353 A New Future, A New Past (First Update!)

Within the majestic and dazzling Phoenix Universe.

Countless stars twinkled.

The phoenix's phantom appeared and disappeared among the silhouettes of countless stars. The phoenix's eyes, one called the Mind Gem, constantly emitted a ghostly yellow light, helping Hawke to comprehend his Seventh Sense at all times.

As his understanding of the seventh sense deepened, his inner universe continued to expand.

As his inner universe continues to expand, he gets closer and closer to the eighth sense.

The Phoenix's eyes, two of the Reality Stones, constantly emit a deep red light, helping Hawke to continuously manifest his current cosmic power.

Above the microcosm is the time galaxy that Hawke created after shrinking his own time, spanning the entire universe.

Above the Milky Way of Time.

Hawke hovered in mid-air, gazing down at his own river of time, trying to figure out what had happened.

His time is parallel to the current cosmic time, splitting from the past and then branching out from the present.

At first, Hawke thought there had been a change in the timeline.

but……

His time remained unchanged.

What changes is the long river of time in the universe.

The river of time has branched out.

Yes.

bifurcation.

If the river of time was previously a straight line moving forward, then now it's like an electrocardiogram fluctuating, first going up and then down.

Hawke found the point of the jitter.

If you calculate the time, it's exactly the moment Doctor Strange reversed time and restored Hong Kong Island after it was destroyed.

but……

It was indeed caused by the fluctuations at the moment Doctor Strange reversed time, but not because Doctor Strange reversed time.

It's because of Kamar-Taj.

To be precise, at the very moment Doctor Strange resumed time, Kamar-Taj on Hong Kong Island had already collapsed.

Although Kamar-Taj was restored by Doctor Strange, its destruction is now a thing of the past.

Simply put.

The Kamar-Taj Temple on Hong Kong Island was indeed destroyed, but Doctor Strange restored it with lightning speed after its destruction.

But Kamar-Taj on Hong Kong Island was indeed destroyed, and it was at that moment that time fluctuations occurred.

"Hiss, isn't this the timeline Doctor Strange reversed?"

"of course not!"

"..."

Hawke listened to the sound and looked in the direction from which it came.

then……

The golden light almost blinded him.

Hawke looked at the person who had arrived and opened his mouth.

"Mage Supreme?"

"No."

Clad in golden armor, seemingly projected directly from the future before her, the Ancient One spoke calmly: "The Sorcerer Supreme died three hours ago. The Ancient One of today is the Ancient One who guards the sixth house of the Zodiac."

Hawke's lips twitched.

“I remember, I gave you the position of God of Time.”

"Yes."

The Ancient One, shimmering in her Virgo Gold Cloth, shrugged: "But in my timeline, you seem to have forgotten to let me relinquish my position in the Zodiac. However, I seriously suspect you want me to do two jobs. You should let me teach your children how to become qualified Gold Saints, for free."

Hawke's expression was serious: "Ancient One, I have always respected you, and I absolutely have no intention of taking advantage of you."

Say it.

He immediately changed the subject.

"What the hell is going on?"

"I thought you already knew."

As she spoke, the Ancient One floated down beside Hawke, looked at Hawke's time galaxy, and fixed her gaze on the distant future in Hawke's time, where a seductive and alluring woman kept flashing, tempting Hawke to take a look.

"That's a time trap."

"I know."

Hawke followed the Ancient One's gaze and scoffed, "Once I see it, my time will never be able to transcend it."

Once he sees the future that the Marvel main universe has arranged for him, then his life and death will no longer be in his own hands!

Gu Yi nodded: "The Three Temples of Kamar-Taj were used to suppress the stability of Earth's timeline and cause Earth's time to fall into the dominant timeline of the universe. But the moment the Three Temples of Kamar-Taj were destroyed, Earth's time also merged into the dominant timeline of the universe..."

Upon hearing this, Hawke immediately raised his hand.

"Wait, isn't Earth's time the same as the time in the main universe?"

"In my hands, no, now, it is."

The Ancient One's voice was calm, and even after donning the Gold Cloth, it remained exactly the same as when she was the Sorcerer Supreme: "When I was in charge, time on Earth was irreversible. Otherwise, why do you think Doctor Strange was able to reverse time?"

Hawke raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Gu Yi smiled calmly, and her right hand instantly swept across her body, and in an instant, a projected river of time appeared.

"Earth is called Terra in the main universe, but before that, it was called Midgard."

"Meadgard belongs to the World Tree parallel universe."

"When Odin unified the nine realms, the time trap of the main universe also targeted Odin, and Odin fell into the trap."

"Midgard never fell from the World Tree on its own."

"Instead, Odin made a deal with time in order to obtain a vision of the future, and then saw Ragnarok, which time was preparing for him."

“Odin also realized what was happening, but it was too late.” “He saw Ragnarok in the future, and Ragnarok became a predetermined past.”

"Ragnarok will begin the moment the time of Midgard merges into the time of the main universe."

"The moment Midgard's time merges into the main universe's time, the Ragnarok gears prepared by time for Odin will begin to turn."

"When Ragnarok arrives and Asgard is shattered, the time of the World Tree universe will merge into the time of the main universe, becoming one of the many universes in the main multiverse."

"So Odin tried everything he could to postpone Ragnarok."

"He tried to prevent Midgard's time from merging into the time of the main universe."

"So at the moment Midgard fell, when Midgard's time was still at the World Tree, Odin, as the chief god of the World Tree universe and the king of the gods, at the last moment, allowed the Old Gods to be born in Midgard."

“The omnipotent Oshit, the all-seeing Agamotto, and the aged Hoggus, also known as the Triune God Vishanti, have appeared.”

"The Vishanti built three Time Temples in Kamar-Taj on Earth. They sacrificed themselves to ensure that the three Time Temples would never perish, and that Earth's time would forever remain within the main universe's time, but independent of its laws."

"From then on, every Supreme Master took it upon himself to maintain time."

"Furthermore, it established the rule that the past cannot be changed and the future cannot be predicted."

"but……"

"Kuran Garth, the Third Sorcerer Supreme, an evil sorcerer who murdered the Second Sorcerer Supreme and, tempted by time, broke the unpredictable rules of the future, foreseeing the destruction of the three Kamar-Taj time-nights."

"Then……"

"boom!"

As the Ancient One spoke, with a gentle touch, the three Temples of Time collapsed, and Earth's time, which existed independently of the river of time, instantly merged into the time of the main universe.

Followed by.

It is the scene where Doctor Strange activates the Time Stone and reverses time.

"Where did the numerous multiverses of the main universe come from?"

"Isn't it simply about making any choice at any point in time, thus creating different futures?"

"so……"

"The rules that were once unchangeable have become completely obsolete after Earth merged into the main universe."

"..."

Hawke listened to the Ancient One's "Lesson on Time," opened his mouth, and looked at the Ancient One: "Can you explain it in one sentence?"

Time is the most annoying thing.

This is yet another reason why he prefers the unknown future to the known future.

Very simple.

No need to think, just go for it.

There is something to say.

Ignorance is sometimes the greatest happiness.

Hawke always wanted to be a happy person, but fate had other plans, and he was forced onto the path of becoming stronger.

Again.

If his sister hadn't had that accident back then, he wouldn't have let the lost system locate him because of his grief, and then obtained the Small Universe Cultivation Method.

and so……

Gu Yi smiled, merged Earth's time (which was originally independent of the main universe's time) with the main universe's time, and then looked at Hawke.

"Do you think that modifying the past is just creating a fork in the road?"

"Isn't it?"

"Time doesn't work that way."

"When Earth's time merges into the time of the main universe, it not only creates a new future, but also a new past."

"New future."

"A New Past".

"And in this newly created past, there is no Peter Parker..."

"At least not the Peter Parker you know."

"..."

As Hawke listened to the Ancient One's argument of "a new future, a new past," he frowned, then heard this sentence and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by 'the Peter Parker I know is no longer here'?"

"I have to go now."

Gu Yi smiled slightly: "Time is urging me to leave."

Hawke frowned.

"Your time should belong to the Phoenix Universe, and you are the God of Time. So, who is urging you? Phoenix Time itself? Has it developed self-awareness?"

"No, these are the rules I set to prevent those new gods from manipulating the timeline at will."

"New God..."

Hawke's brow furrowed even more.

"Nonsense! Is the timeline something they can mess around with? How could I possibly appoint these uncultured new gods? Damn it, what am I doing? These new gods who play with time should just..."

"They are your and Gwen's children."

The voice of the Ancient One was faint and melancholic.

Hawke raised an eyebrow, his anger vanishing instantly. He said "Oh," and then awkwardly touched his nose, like a parent called to the office who didn't dare look the Ancient One in the eye.

"They're such bastards! And Gwen, she's so naughty, doesn't she discipline her at all?"

"She took charge."

"Then?"

"You said it's normal for kids to be naughty, anyway, if the timeline gets messed up, the God of Time will fix it, so it's not a big deal."

"..."
