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

A new main quest has been unlocked. Please check the panel for details.

As soon as the Ancient One's portal disappeared, the long-lost notification sound from the panel rang in Li Chuan's mind.

Upon hearing that it was a main quest, his eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the panel to check it.

A new main quest means a new sub-world.

Main quest: Defeat the clone of the Dark Lord Dormammu.

The world extracted: The Legend of Nezha.

Basic Completion: Help Doctor Strange, Stephen Strange, exorcise Dormammu's clone.

Mission reward: A random ordinary human identity.

Intermediate Completion: Defeat and expel Dormammu's clones without any help from anyone.

Mission reward: A random Heavenly Soldier identity.

Advanced Completion: Kill Dormammu's clone without any help from anyone.

Task Reward: Random identity as a disciple of one of the three major Taoist sects.

Time since entering the small world: ten years.

"It's this world!"

After reviewing the main quest and rewards, Li Chuan fell into deep thought.

He knew a little about this new little world. It was the prequel to the classic story of Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother. The protagonist of the story was not Chenxiang, but his uncle Yang Jian.

The entire timeline spans a long period and involves multiple stories such as "Investiture of the Gods", "The Seven Fairies", and "Journey to the West".

Similarly, this world is full of experts. In this world, the Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals in "The Legend of Shushan" are not considered true experts at all.

Above them are Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, Daluo Golden Immortals, Quasi-Saints, Saints, and Heavenly Dao Saints.

According to his own speculation, if he could become a saint, he could probably beat up Sithon back in the main Marvel universe. If he became a Heavenly Saint, even the One-Above-All, the pinnacle of Marvel, might not be his match.

Of course, these are just speculations, since his strength hasn't reached that level yet, and it's impossible to be certain.

"Looks like we'll have to try and get a high level of completion this time too."

The higher the ceiling of a small world, the greater the opportunities and the greater the risks.

Because there are too many people stronger than him, it's easy for him to find himself unable to defeat them or even escape.

The best reward among the missions—the status of a disciple of one of the three religions—is actually the best way to save your life.

In a prehistoric world system like this, what is the most important thing?

Of course, one's identity and background are the most important factors.

Strength is important, but unless you're at the level of a saint, you can't escape being schemed against. No matter how capable you are, there are always those more powerful than you.

If you look at the Journey to the West period, any monster without a background was killed with a single blow and ignored by everyone. But if a monster had a background, even if it ate countless people, it would still be safely taken away and continue to become an immortal or a Buddha.

The initial completion of the main quest helps Doctor Strange defeat Dormammu. Even if Dormammu just stands there, Doctor Strange can use the Time Stone to harass him.

The identity given is that of an ordinary person.

If he tries to gain some advantage using this identity, and accidentally falls into the trap of some powerful figure, he'll probably be sent away soon.

Even with his current strength and all his methods, he might be able to contend with a Golden Immortal, but it would be difficult to encounter a Taiyi Golden Immortal. If this Taiyi Golden Immortal also possesses an extraordinary magic weapon, whether he can escape is a question entirely.

Intermediate Completion: Defeat and expel Dormammu's clones without any help from anyone.

This is where the difficulty lies. Dormammu is a powerful figure among the dimensional demons. He was originally a wizard who accidentally discovered the Dark Dimension and merged himself with it, becoming its master.

Unlike Mephisto, who spends his days trying to possess the bodies of mortals on Earth, tempting kind and righteous people to fall into depravity and then dragging them into his own hellish dimension.

Dormammu, on the other hand, constantly searches for various universes, trying to devour them and expand his dark dimension.

Therefore, the Dormammu clone summoned to Earth by Kaecilius was powerful enough to devour the entire universe, far stronger than Mephisto, who secretly released a soul.

Of course, this does not mean that Dormammu's true strength is necessarily much stronger than Mephisto's. In their respective dimensions, it is hard to say who is stronger or weaker. It's just that Mephisto is more cunning and does not like to release too much power.

In this way, even if there is a loss, it won't hurt. Dormammu, on the other hand, wants to play big. If he wins, he can devour a universe, but if he loses, losing a clone will definitely hurt him a lot.

The Ancient One was able to defeat Dormammu mainly because of the support of the three Sanctums, and also because she knew Dormammu very well.

After all, she could forcibly draw power from the Dark Dimension to maintain her immortality, while Dormammu had no way to do so.

Without the support of the three holy sites, Li Chuan had to rely on his own strength to defeat Dormammu one-on-one. To be honest, he wasn't very confident.

Since I've never played it, I can't say for sure.

However, the rewards for intermediate completion are much better, directly elevating one from a mortal to a celestial soldier in the Heavenly Court, gaining a Heavenly Court background.

The Heavenly Court is the legitimate authority of the Three Realms, and the institution designated by Hongjun to manage the Three Realms.

Although the status of a heavenly soldier is not significant, especially in the Heavenly Court before the Investiture of the Gods, which was nominally the ruler of the Three Realms but in reality could not govern the Three Realms, the death of a heavenly soldier was not a big deal.

But he has the ability. Before the Investiture of the Gods, apart from the Ten Golden Crows and Tianpeng and Juanlian, there were no other notable figures in the Heavenly Court. If he handled things well, he would be highly valued by the Heavenly Court and promoted to a righteous god.

There is one troublesome thing: once you join the Heavenly Court, you will be bound by the Heavenly Rules and Regulations, and by the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, making it difficult to obtain certain benefits.

The best outcome would naturally be a high level of completion, granting direct access to the status of a disciple of the three major Taoist sects.

Even the most dangerous disciples of the Jie Sect can seize many benefits if they act properly. The Jie Sect has many powerful figures and magical treasures, and they are also very loyal and righteous.

If it weren't for the machinations, the Jie Sect, with its inclusive teaching philosophy, would actually have been the most powerful.

If it were the Chan Sect, that would be even better. Although the Chan Sect is not so upright in its actions, it is skilled in scheming and protective of its own. If you were a true disciple of the Chan Sect, you could simply lie down and relax as long as you paid a little attention.

As for the Human Sect, it is truly the best it could be. The Human Sect has the fewest disciples, apart from the personally taught Grand Master Xuandu and the nominal Master Du'e. If one can join the Human Sect, it is definitely the safest and best option.

They didn't even need to scheme or compete for opportunities; they could simply ask Laozi, an avatar of the Celestial Venerable of Morality, for some golden pills, and their cultivation would skyrocket.

However, killing Dormammu's clone is extremely difficult.

Defeating and killing are two completely different concepts. Just like now he has encountered many enemies who are much stronger than him. He can't defeat them, but it's still easy for him to escape.

Therefore, his strength and methods need to be further improved if he wants to achieve a high level of completion.
