In American comics: My Traveling Frog steals from all over the world!

……

Back at his villa in New York, Yu Mu casually tossed the time tablet he'd stolen from TVA onto the table.

There was still a chilling aura from another time and space lingering there.

A grand drama, orchestrated by the director himself and manipulated by Loki, the god of mischief, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even the Time Mutation Management Bureau, has finally come to an end.

But Yu Mu's face didn't show much joy of victory.

For true chess players, the end of a game often means the beginning of boredom.

He sank lazily into the sofa, picked up a glass of wine that had been prepared by Queen Emma at some point, and gently swirled the amber liquid.

"Order is the most fragile porcelain in the world; a gentle tap will leave it in a mess."

He murmured softly, as if savoring the lingering effects of the farce that had just occurred.

Just then, a clear croaking sound, audible only to him, rang in his mind.

Ding.

Your little frog has finished its journey and returned home.

Yu Mu's lips finally curved into a genuine, heartfelt smile.

My own frog is the best.

They always manage to bring him new toys on time, just when he's getting bored.

With a sudden thought, the system interface quietly unfolded.

The familiar, endearing frog is perched on its own little wooden table, diligently writing down its travel experiences with a disproportionately small calligraphy brush.

His earnest expression was so adorable that you just wanted to pinch his cheeks.

Yu Mu's gaze fell directly on the "Specialty Products" section.

There, three objects radiating distinct lights were quietly displayed.

Like three seeds from different civilizations.

The first item was a piece of flawless white jade.

It is not a physical entity, but rather a condensation of light, a mark of history. Yu Mu could feel the magnificent spirit of the mountains and rivers and the nation, and hear the joys and sorrows of the people and the ambitions of the emperors.

That is the manifestation of power, and also a key to transcendence.

【He Shi Bi】: A souvenir from the world of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". It possesses extraordinary abilities, helping one to understand life and death, cleanse one's marrow and meridians, and greatly enhance one's spirit and inner strength. Note: Ordinary people who possess it for too long will suffer a backlash; only those chosen by destiny can wield it.

Yu Mu chuckled softly.

Destiny? The greatest destiny in this world is mine.

His gaze shifted to the second item.

It wasn't any physical object, but a picture and text directly imprinted deep within his soul.

The seven human figures, each with a different posture, some still and some in motion, seem to illustrate the most ancient Yin-Yang principle in the universe, and depict the cycle of life from birth to its peak.

【Longevity Technique】: A unique product originating from the world of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty". It is the supreme Taoist art, taking Heaven and Earth as its teacher, sensing Yin and Yang. Practitioners can prolong their lives and generate innate true energy of entirely different nature, directly pointing to the path of immortality.

The third thing, however, made Yu Mu's gaze truly serious for the first time.

It was just a palm-sized, broken fragment of bronze.

The surface was covered with ancient marks from chiseling and carving, seemingly chaotic, but when Yu Mu looked at it intently, those marks seemed to come alive!

He witnessed a war that defied description!

The stars are the chess pieces, the Milky Way is the board, and towering giants fight each other, trying to capture stars and the moon! Every collision of theirs shatters space and time!

[War God's Manual Fragment ①]: Hidden drop. Originating from Huang Yi's martial arts universe's highest achievement, there are a total of ten fragments. Legend has it that collecting the complete [War God's Manual] allows one to understand the ultimate secrets of the universe, enabling the cultivator to break through the barriers of space and time and reach the realm of "Shattering the Void".

The playfulness in Yu Mu's eyes was gradually replaced by a deep flame called "ambition".

He slowly rose and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the brightly lit New York.

In his eyes, this steel forest was no different in essence from the golden city of Asgard and the TVA's headquarters that transcended the timeline.

They are all cages.

Whether large or small, or ornate or simple, it is ultimately a cage.

"The end of technology is conjecture."

"The ultimate goal of magic is law."

Yu Mu stretched out his hand, as if to hold the entire city's night view in his palm.

"Whether it's Tony's Arc Reactor, which he's so proud of, or the World Tree that Odin has protected for thousands of years, their power has its source and its limits."

"They are the power of 'using'."

"And this heritage from the East..." His gaze fell back on the three items on the system interface, his eyes becoming incredibly fervent.

"They point to the power of 'being'."

"Not using energy, but becoming energy."

"It's not about controlling the laws, but about being the law itself!"

This is a completely different civilization system, a completely different path to transcendence.

The powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, whether gods, mutants, or cosmic overlords, mostly owe their strength to their bloodline, fortuitous encounters, or a powerful artifact.

Their strength comes from "seeking externally".

The ultimate goal of martial arts, however, is "inner cultivation."

Within itself, it creates a universe; within a small space, it contains the mysteries of heaven and earth.

While the gods were still flaunting their bloodlines, mortals were already exploring the infinity of the soul.

"Interesting, very interesting..."

Yu Mu smiled, a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't wait to see Thanos snap his fingers with the gauntlet containing all six Infinity Stones, and how he would casually crush the power of law—enough to wipe out half the universe—with just one finger.

What a beautiful expression that must have been!

"Now that the gift has been delivered, then..."

There was no longer a trace of hesitation in Yu Mu's eyes.

"The grand feast is about to begin."

He sat cross-legged, and with a thought, the illusory [He Shi Bi] instantly appeared from the system space, transforming into a stream of pure light that merged into his brow!

boom--!

An indescribable, immense power exploded within his body!

That wasn't violent energy, but a higher-dimensional will. Like a ruthless emperor surveying his territory, it forcibly sorted out, suppressed, and unified the originally mixed G-virus energy, death magic, and lightning power within him!

Immediately afterwards, the seven diagrams of the [Longevity Technique] began to run in his mind on their own.

A cool breeze and a scorching heat, two completely different yet equally fundamental innate energies, were born out of thin air from the deepest part of his body!

Like two yin-yang fish chasing and playing, they swam swiftly through Yu Mu's meridians. Wherever they passed, every cell in his body cheered and transformed!

His bones became even stronger than Uru metal, shimmering with a faint jade-like luster.

His blood, flowing like mercury, contained a powerful life force.

His soul, tempered by the spiritual power of the He Shi Bi jade, became clear and resilient, like an eternal diamond.

Yu Mu's consciousness was elevated to an infinite height at this moment.

He "saw" it.

He saw every wriggling motion of the earthworms in the soil beneath the villa's lawn.

He heard the faint sound of cosmic dust rubbing against each other outside the atmosphere.

He sensed that on the other side of the universe, the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard was radiating unique fluctuations belonging to the laws of space.

The Tesseract, which he had tossed aside and which was considered taboo by the Illuminati, was no longer mysterious to him at this moment.

It's like a noisy toy with an extremely unstable energy structure.

That's it.

Click.

With a soft sound, it was as if some invisible shackle had been completely broken in the deepest part of his life.

Yu Mu slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were still that deep black, but at this moment, it seemed as if an entire starry sky was reflected in that blackness.

He completely concealed his aura.

Gone was the chilling presence of the Death Ruler, the fury of the Lightning Mage, and the malevolence of the G Virus.

He simply sat there quietly, yet he seemed to become the center of this world.

To blend in with the world, yet remain detached from it all.

Grandmaster Realm.

It became.

This level has no distinction between beginner, intermediate, advanced, and peak stages.

Once you've entered, that's it.

One step can make all the difference.

A grandmaster is a teacher of an era, the one who initiates their own "Tao".

Before this, Yu Mu's power was "addition," constantly accumulating various abilities.

From this moment on, his path is "subtraction".

All things return to one, melting into one furnace, ultimately achieving the unique "Tao" that belongs solely to him and Yu Mu.

Earth-class?

Yu Mu felt the inexhaustible inner strength within his body, as if resonating with heaven and earth, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

The so-called Earth-class is merely a boundary marker drawn by our predecessors.

The Grandmaster is the one who is qualified to move the boundary marker by hand.

His next step is to reach the level of a sub-father, the so-called Grandmaster.

Yu Mu knew that it was just another new beginning.

His gaze finally settled on the fragment of the War God's Record.

That is the key to the ultimate goal.
