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

Chapter 435 First Encounter with the Ancient Scroll (Part 2)

Having survived the great battle of the multiverse and cleared countless time branches, the survivor could see the future of everyone within the sacred timeline. He was certain that Li Chuan was just an ordinary guy, nothing special.

However, Li Chuan, who branched out in 2012, somehow gained some kind of power, which allowed him to remain unaffected in the time rift and even become aware of the Time Management Bureau and his existence.

To be honest, he even had some suspicions that this Li Chuan from the branch world might be the product of a multiverse-level dimensional demon god possessing him.

Only those terrifying dimensional demons could so easily change the fate of a predetermined person.

"Could it be Sithon?"

Given Li Chuan's relationship with Wanda, he guessed it was most likely related to the demon god Sithon. Furthermore, even if it wasn't Sithon, the power Li Chuan had displayed was enough to influence his subsequent plans.

That's why he agreed to Li Chuan's conditions so readily.

"What a troublesome guy. Iron Man didn't die, and Black Widow and Vision were resurrected. Now we have to find a way to readjust the Holy Timeline, otherwise there will be even more branches."

"Forget it, a new multiverse war is coming soon. I'll make adjustments after I return victorious!"

The person left behind jumped off the chair, thought for a moment, then glanced at the virtual images projected in front of him and focused his attention on Loki, who was once again imprisoned by the Time Guardians, and the female Loki who was escaping.

The multiverse is bound to open sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if we do this now. We should first arrange our own script so that we can return in the next multiverse war.

On the other hand, after the shadow clone dissipated, Li Chuan's main body also received all the memories and experiences related to the shadow clone.

"It seems the result is not bad."

After spending another month or so in the main world, confirming that the remaining person had not violated the agreement, and having tidied up all his belongings, Li Chuan once again opened the new world of the control panel in his bedroom at home.

Because he didn't understand the new world "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim," he couldn't judge what level of world it was, or whether it would be dangerous for him to enter with his strength.

So during this period after completing the main quest, he mainly focused on making preparations before entering the game.

For example, solidifying one's understanding of the seventh sense, figuring out the effects of the new ability "Tsukuyomi: Real World," and preparing various high-tech, high-powered weapons and supplies, etc.

We also need to prepare in advance for the Wizard Empire and the Ninja Empire. They'll be gone for a year this time, so if we don't put in some precautions beforehand, there might actually be some problems.

"Enter!"

Clicking the "Enter the New World" button on the panel, Li Chuan's vision went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a ruin covered in flames.

At the same time, two special forces suddenly surged into his body.

One force modified his skin, while the other was integrated into his soul, instantly increasing his soul strength by one-fifth and endowing him with some unknown qualities.

"Could this be the Brighton bloodline and the Dragonborn bloodline?"

Feeling the changes in his body and soul, Li Chuan suddenly remembered the reward for his advanced completion of the main quest.

His main quest reached a high level of completion, which earned him two rewards:

1. Specific Brighton racial bloodline.

The Brighton race possesses a talent that reduces magic damage by one-quarter. They are born with the ability to use dragonhide once a day. This ability can absorb 50% of magic damage and convert it into their own magic power within one minute.

2. By being endowed with dragon blood, one can quickly learn various dragon roars by absorbing dragon souls.

The first energy to transform the skin naturally came from the Brighton bloodline; he already instinctively knew how to activate the Dragonskin skill.

The second way to elevate the soul is undoubtedly through the Dragonborn bloodline, which allows one to learn dragon roars.

However, he really didn't expect that the dragon bloodline would actually enhance his soul strength.

It is important to understand that the most important thing about a person is the soul, followed by the physical body, while the spirit is an extension based on the soul.

If the soul is destroyed, it means that one is dead beyond any possibility of death. In the world of mythology, this means that one cannot even be reincarnated.

For ordinary practitioners, the ability to enhance the strength of their soul is only achieved when they reach a higher level of spiritual attainment.

Therefore, if a person can increase their soul strength upon entering a new realm, then this so-called dragon bloodline is definitely extraordinary. In fact, just the ability to increase soul strength alone makes this dragon bloodline worthwhile.

Even if there's no dragon roar or anything like that later on.

Once his body and soul had adjusted, a wave of unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind.

As with all other small worlds he entered, the memories now flooding his mind were those of a native in this world whose identity he had assumed.

This native is named Locker, and he is from Lorick, Skyrim, of the Brighton race.

Through Locke's memories, he roughly understood that the world of Ancient Scrolls was a world of high magic and high martial arts, similar to the Middle Ages.

This place is home not only to powerful warriors and mages, but also to magical creatures such as vampires, werewolves, trolls, and giants, as well as various powerful holy spirits and demons.

Moreover, intelligent beings living normally in this world are not only humans, but also many other races.

According to the racial classification here, they are generally divided into three major categories.

The first is the human race, which is divided into Nords, Imperials, Brightons, and Redguards.

The second category is the Elf system, which is divided into High Elves, Wood Elves, Dark Elves, Orcs, Snow Elves (Vamo), and Dwarves (Dwarves).

The third category, the beast type, is divided into Aragonese (Argonians) and Kejtes (Tiger-men or Cat-men).

The continent they lived on was called Tamriel. It was said that there were many other continents beyond Tamriel, but whether that was true or not, Lochle, an ordinary person, did not know.

He only knew that the continent of Tamriel had nine provinces, and he was currently in Skyrim.

As for how this native, Locker, died?

That's a long story.

The entire continent of Tamriel had been in a state of war, with the empire, dominated by human forces, and the ancient lands, dominated by high elves, locked in a fierce struggle.

Although the empire achieved a brief victory, it was unable to continue fighting and had to make peace with its ancestral homeland, thus signing the unequal "Platinum Agreement."

The main contents of the Platinum Agreement are:

Demand that the Empire abolish and ban the worship of Talos, and accept the supervision of the Thalmor. Formally dissolve the Blade's Edge, the Emperor's bodyguard and secret service. Cede most of southern Hammerfall to the Ancestral Divine Lands.

Hammerfall refused to accept the humiliating Platinum Agreement, declared its independence from the Empire, and continued to fight against the Ancestors, ultimately successfully repelling the Ancestors' invading forces.

On the Empire's side, the abolition of the Talos faith led to widespread discontent among the Nords.

In Nord culture, Talos is considered a hero of the Nords, one of the very few great beings who became gods from among humans, and a symbol of the spirit.

Therefore, the belief in Talos was very widespread in Skyrim, the Nord homeland.

Ulfric Stormcloak, the Lord of the Eastern Territory, also known as Skyrim, and the Lord of Windhelm, is a prime example of this.

In early 201 of the Fourth Age, Emperor Titus Mead II of the Empire supported the young Lord Toyg of Solitude as the new High King of Skyrim, ruling over the entire province of Skyrim.

Ulfric Stormcloak, unconvinced, engaged in a Nord duel with Toyg, also a Nord, in Solitude.

Finally, he roared and killed Toig on the spot.

Some lords in Skyrim supported Ulfric as the new High King, breaking away from the Empire and becoming independent, while others supported Lonely as Ithog's wife to succeed as High Queen, continuing to follow in the Empire's footsteps.

A small minority remain neutral.

And so, the civil war between the Skyrim Empire and the Stormcloaks broke out.

Lochle originally intended to steal a horse to leave Skyrim and make a living in the independent province of Hammerfall, but unfortunately encountered the Imperial General Tullius's ambush of Ulfric.

He was also arrested along with the Stormcloak rebels.

After that, he, along with Ulfric, his men, and a cat-man who was just as unlucky as him and had been mistaken for a Stormcloak rebel for crossing the border, followed General Tullius to Solitude for trial.

However, fearing that things might get complicated if he delayed, the general did not go to Lonely City as required by law. Instead, he went to the nearest Imperial fortress, Sanctuary Town, intending to kill Ulfric privately first and then take Ulfric's head to Lonely City for trial.

Therefore, Locke, who was considered a rebel soldier, was naturally doomed to die.

In order to avoid being beheaded, he ran as fast as he could as soon as he got off the bus in Holy Land Town, trying to escape this calamity. However, he was shot through the heart by an imperial soldier and fell to the ground.

His identity and memories were then inherited by Li Chuan.

"But why is the Holy Land Fortress in this state? Did Ulfric's men come to rescue him?"

Li Chuan turned his head and looked around. He found that there were charred corpses all around him, some of them from the Imperial Army and others from the Storm Cloaks. It didn't seem like the cause of the fighting was mutual, but rather that a third party had intervened.

"Forget it, it's not really my business anyway. I'd better leave here and explore this new world."

Using shapeshifting magic, he transformed his tattered clothes into light leather armor common in this world, and casually picked up an ordinary steel sword and tucked it into his waistband.

Li Chuan disguised himself as an ordinary adventurer and arrived at the north gate of Holy Land Town.

"Whiterun should be in this direction!"

Based on Locker's memory, he determined the direction and set off on the main road to Whiterun.

Whiterun is located in the economic center of Skyrim, in the central part of the province. It is an important transportation hub with a thriving trade and agriculture. The city is also known as the granary of Skyrim, with farmland covering the surrounding area.

When you first arrive in this world, you can go there and inquire about the situation.

Although he possessed the memories of the native Locker, this guy's head was filled with petty theft and other mischief. Apart from recognizing a few words and knowing some basic common sense, he knew nothing else.

"The scenery in this world is quite nice."

Strolling along the path, observing the beautiful scenery around him, and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, Li Chuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He did not ride the clouds or fly on a sword, but instead adopted the most basic mode of transportation: walking.

It wasn't just because I wanted to appreciate the scenery of this world, but also out of a sense of caution.

This is a magical world he knows nothing about, and there are real gods.

If you're too flamboyant from the start, it might attract the attention of the powerful and divine beings of this world, which would be disastrous.

He was confident in his strength and abilities, but without actually fighting, how could he be certain that he could defeat the powerful figures and gods of this world?

Therefore, it's better to play it safe at the beginning, first truly understand the situation of this world, and then decide how to develop and continue to improve your strength.

Anyway, he was rewarded with a year of small world time the first time he entered, and he also saved up a lot of small world time by doing side quests.

He walked and admired the scenery for about half a day, until a towering mountain, a thousand meters high, appeared faintly in front of him.

The high mountain was nothing special. When he left Holy Land Town, there was actually a large mountain next to him, with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters. There were quite a few large mountains in this area.

What attracted him was a magnificent building that seemed to be built entirely of stone halfway up the mountain.

But just as he was drawn to the building, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards him from the hillside on the left.

"Looks like we're out of luck and've run into robbers."

He easily caught the arrow, turned his head to look at the five people lying in ambush on the hillside, and raised his eyebrows.

Although this magical world has beautiful scenery, it is very dangerous. When people go out, especially to towns that are far away, they usually hire carriages or hire mercenaries or adventurers for protection.

Otherwise, it's estimated that 80% of them would die on the way.

Because the wilderness is not only home to various ferocious beasts, undead, vampires, werewolves, etc., but also to a large number of bandits who guard the roads between major towns, ready to kill and rob at any time.

Smaller bandit groups might consist of only three to five people, while larger ones can grow to hundreds.

The key is that many races in this world are born with great magical talent and specific racial abilities. With determination and a little training, they can unleash considerable strength.

Just like his Brighton bloodline can increase magic resistance and absorb magic power, some races are born with the ability to use fire to protect themselves and enhance their self-healing abilities, etc.

Moreover, due to the recent civil war between the Empire and the Stormcloaks, there's a good chance we'll encounter large-scale battles between their armies on the road.

Then, like this indigenous man Locker, they were mistaken for someone else, captured and beheaded, or simply killed on the spot and their heads cut off as a reward.

However, Li Chuan wasn't referring to his own bad luck, but rather the bad luck of those thieves who had to rob him of all people.

"Then let's send you on your way!"

These robbers are universally condemned in this world; killing them carries no legal consequences, and you can even make a small profit from their pockets.

"call out!"

Li Chuan casually tossed the arrow, and it immediately bounced back at ten times the speed of the first arrow, piercing the opponent before they could fire a second one.

Seeing how ruthless Li Chuan was, his four companions knew they had encountered a master and turned to run away without saying a word.

However, one of the bandits, dressed in a black robe, launched a fireball the size of a fist at Li Chuan before leaving, trying to slow him down.
