He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 347 The Formation of a Miniature Universe (First Update)

"There really are guys like this everywhere."

Li Chuan raised an eyebrow when he saw the bald, burly man blocking his way.

In fact, in Carrot's memory, he and his senior brother had no conflict of interest and he had never angered his senior brother, but he was always bullied by his senior brother.

He himself didn't understand why.

Li Chuan was well aware of this; there was a type of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong, seeking a sense of existence and a pitiful sense of dignity by bullying those weaker than themselves.

It doesn't matter whether you've offended him or not, it just means you're weak enough to not be able to fight back.

Among all the Saint Seiya candidates in the entire Sanctuary, the strongest one on the surface is Cassio, the top disciple of Ophiuchus Shaina; the bald, muscular man doesn't even rank in the top ten.

Only among the weakest disciples like Carrot could he find his dignity.

Seeing that Seiya, whom he had always looked down upon, had actually defeated Cassio and obtained the Pegasus Cloth that he had always dreamed of, the bald, muscular man's jealousy reached its peak.

However, he dared not cause trouble for Seiya, so when he saw the figure of Carrot, who was now in Li Chuan's place, he rushed over to block him.

"Fine, let's just consider it revenge for the original owner."

Li Chuan didn't reply. He moved his feet and quickly passed the bald man, then left without looking back.

As his figure completely disappeared from the square, the bald, burly man suddenly bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and began to vomit large amounts of blood.

In that brief moment of crossing paths, he didn't do nothing; instead, he used a special technique of internal force to strike the bald, muscular man in the chest.

On the surface, the bald, burly man seemed to be fine, but in reality, his bones and internal organs were severely injured. Even if he had a strong will to live, he probably wouldn't last more than two days before he died.

The Sanctuary rules state that Saints cannot fight amongst themselves, but this only applies to true Saints who have already obtained a Cloth.

As for the reserves below, that doesn't matter.

It was better when Shion was Pope; there were very few incidents of bullying or death, only the training was tougher.

Shion believed that Saints needed not only strength but also good character to help Athena defeat evil.

But ever since Saga impersonated Shion and became Pope, the atmosphere in the entire Sanctuary has changed a lot. In order to realize his own ambition, the selection of the Sanctuary Saints has become even more brutal.

Including this battle for the Pegasus Cloth, several hundred reserve soldiers died directly or indirectly.

So if they find out in a couple of days that another reserve has died, that's it. No one will bother Li Chuan. Besides, probably no one saw clearly that he threw the punch.

The crucial point is that he might not even be in the Holy Land in a couple of days.

Once you've grasped the essence of the microcosm, there's basically no point in staying in the Sanctuary.

There aren't any spare Gold Cloths to take here, and frankly, he's not confident he can beat those Gold Saints who can unleash light-speed punches right now.

Back in the stone house, after setting up a simple warning array, Li Chuan closed his eyes and began his first attempt to construct his own microcosm in his mind.

The essence of the Microcosmic Cultivation Method is to compress one's spirit to the maximum extent, compressing it to a single point, an extreme point, and then detonating it using a special method.

In this way, one can mimic the Big Bang and form the most basic microcosm in the mind.

Therefore, the prerequisite for constructing a microcosm is that your mental strength must be strong enough; otherwise, it is impossible to compress it to an extreme point, let alone make it explode.

The original Carrot's mental strength was too weak to compress.

This is actually quite normal. How could someone who is often bullied and doesn't dare to fight back possibly have strong mental strength?

Similarly, even Cassio, the strongest and most physically capable among the Saint Seiya trainees, could not awaken his Cosmo.

Because of his naturally strong physique, ordinary training could not stimulate his spirit and will. He relied on his physical strength to bully the weak every day and had never experienced any setbacks or trials.

It's like a healthy person who can run 100 meters easily without any physical training or improvement in willpower.

A person who is extremely weak and has difficulty even walking, who is completely exhausted after running 100 meters, but still grits their teeth and perseveres, will naturally have a significant improvement in willpower and physical strength.

Therefore, physical fitness is important in the selection of Saints, but it is not the most important factor. The most important factors are spirit and willpower.

This is why Seiya was able to awaken his Cosmo.

Seiya and his sister were orphans who depended on each other since childhood. After being adopted by Mitsumasa Kido, they were subjected to grueling training every day. Later, he was forcibly separated from his sister, and he could only get her back by obtaining the Cloth in the Sanctuary.

After arriving in the Holy Land, being an outsider, he was bullied and beaten every day, but he never begged for mercy.

Although his physical condition was far inferior to Casio's, his painful childhood experiences honed his spirit and willpower, allowing him to successfully awaken his inner potential.

Of course, not all Saints need such training. There are also many geniuses whose innate mental strength far surpasses that of ordinary people. Most of the Gold Saints of the Twelve Palaces today are such beings.

The Gold Saints who can wear the Gold Cloths don't advance step by step from Bronze Saints; they were Gold Saint trainees from the very beginning.

Aiolos of Sagittarius was chosen by Shion as the next Pope because he was the oldest, the most virtuous, and the strongest.

But in reality, Aiolos was only fourteen years old at that time. As for the other Gold Saints, the younger ones, such as Leo Aiolia, Taurus Aldebaran, Aries Mu, Virgo Shaka, and Aquarius Camus, were only seven years old.

The oldest is Aphrodite, who is nine years old, and the oldest is Shura, who is ten years old ...

The only one who is the same age as Aiolos is Saga of the Gemini, who is also fourteen years old.

In other words, these Gold Saints were already capable of building their own cosmos when they were seven or eight years old, and only those who were exceptionally talented were qualified to be chosen as Gold Saints.

Li Chuan was the same; his mental strength, enhanced by his wizard bloodline and cultivation, was also quite formidable.

It has at least far reached the basic standard for building a microcosm.

Therefore, when he compressed his mental energy, the process went very smoothly. In less than a minute, he compressed all his mental energy into an extremely small point.

He then began to guide the small point of spiritual energy that had been compressed to its limit, following the method of cosmic explosion taught by the Sanctuary.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the small point of spiritual energy exploded.

Li Chuan felt that in that instant, his consciousness was completely out of control. He seemed to see countless galaxies gushing out from his mental energy point, countless black holes devouring planets, and countless stars shining brightly.
