I work as an editor at Marvel.

-

The first rays of morning sunlight shone on the curtains. Qi Yun was busy in his room. He had been working through the night for several days, and the lights in his room had never been turned off.

Qi Yun yawned and wiped his face with his hand to wake himself up.

Before him stood a massive instrument over two meters tall, with a crystal-clear gem embedded in its center, surrounded by intricate and beautiful patterns.

However, no matter how beautiful the pattern is, it cannot compare to the gemstone itself. If the energy contained in the gemstone were known to the outside world, it would be enough to cause an uproar on the entire planet.

In addition, Qi Yun spent several nights assembling this instrument by hand according to the blueprints, and it took him nearly a year to collect the materials alone.

Now it's finally time to see the results.

When the switch was turned on, the instrument began to operate normally, and the gemstone, under the influence of an invisible force, erupted with a strong fluctuation.

The wave spread outwards from Qi Yun, and soon it covered the entire Earth.

High in the distant Himalayas, the Supreme Master opened her eyes and felt a strange power sweep over her.

This power exuded a cold and ruthless aura. The Ancient One tried to capture it but failed. The fluctuations came and went in a hurry, leaving no trace.

Moreover, at the very moment the power spread, some changes occurred in the river of time that she could not detect but were inevitable.

"These are turbulent times," Gu Yi said softly, then closed her eyes and returned to her original appearance.

In New York, Qi Yun nervously watched the instrument. Whether it could function properly was crucial to the success of all his plans.

Failure would not only mean the postponement of the plan, but also that Qi Yun would miss the best opportunity for development.

Fortunately, Qi Yun has had good luck all these years. When others die, they just die, but when he dies, he not only travels through time but also gains a cheat code.

"Time anchoring successful, world connection successful..."

A cold voice echoed in Qi Yun's mind. He wasn't surprised at all, because he had heard this voice countless times before.

"Did it work...?" Qi Yun took a deep breath and opened his main god panel.

Reincarnation God: Qi Yun

Number of contracted employees: 0

Connected to the world: 1

World occupied: 0

"Nice!" Qi Yun exclaimed excitedly.

After working so hard for so long, we finally succeeded!

He, a lone god, only had one world core, and he succeeded on his first try. He really is a lucky guy.

After completing its mission, the instrument stopped operating. As soon as the air circulated, it turned into ashes, saving Qi Yun the trouble of figuring out how to dispose of it.

After washing up briefly, Qi Yun came out of the room. The warm sunlight was a bit dazzling to him.

How long have I been in this room...?

After adjusting to the sunlight, Qi Yun stretched and walked towards the fast food restaurant next door.

Since he transmigrated so long ago, he has spent most of his time solving the problem of his identity. The money he saved in the remaining time was only enough to buy fast food after purchasing some necessities for constructing equipment.

Well, once my career takes off, I'm going to buy a bunch of the best steaks, eat one, throw one away, and look at one!

Qi Yun thought to himself as he chewed on his hamburger.

The TV in the fast food restaurant is currently showing an economics program.

"Professor Kane, what are your thoughts on Tony Stark's disappearance?" the host asked softly.

"The disappearance of that playboy will inevitably affect the overall situation of Stark Industries, and the market has already proven this well."

Professor Kane sat in his chair, looking every bit the elite scholar.

“Recently, Stark Industries’ stock price has plummeted by 30%. Do you think the stock price will continue to fall?”

The host looked at the script and continued asking questions.

"No, you need to understand that the stock price drop is just a short-term adjustment caused by Tony Stark's disappearance. So, fellow shareholders, this is a very good opportunity to buy Stark Industries shares at such a low price, which was unimaginable before!" Professor Kane said the most absurd thing with the most serious expression.

The host wasn't surprised at all by Kane's answer, after all, the people behind this program were stakeholders from Stark Industries.

"But Tony Stark is, after all, the CEO of the corporation. His disappearance and uncertain fate have led you to believe that this could be grounds for a further drop in the stock price."

"Haha, I can't compare to you in hosting. When it comes to economics, you really need to listen to the opinions of professionals." Professor Kane laughed and continued, "Tony Stark is just the nominal president. The most important person in Stark Industries isn't him, but rather Mr. Obadiah Stan..."

Listening to Kane's nonsense, Qi Yun yawned. Was this guy on TV treating everyone else like idiots?

Anyone with an IQ above 50 could guess that this professor had definitely taken money from Stan and was now campaigning for that guy to take control of Stark Industries.

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; no matter how much Stark Industries' stock price falls, it is still a behemoth.

Qi Yun casually tossed the trash into the bin and walked out of the fast food restaurant. To be honest, if he weren't broke, he would definitely be shorting Stark Industries' stock price like crazy in the stock market. Knowing the plot, it would be a sure-fire way to make money.

Furthermore, once Tony has some information about his return, one can go long again, then short when Tony closes the weapons manufacturing department, and finally go long again when Tony reveals his identity as Iron Man.

After this series of operations, the funds in his hands had increased at least several times. It was a pity that Qi Yun had more important things to do. Otherwise, as someone who had some understanding of economics, he would never have missed such an opportunity!

On his way back to his room, Qi Yun heard all the citizens discussing Tony Stark's disappearance, which had been the headline news for many days!

Honestly, I don't know how many people have gone bankrupt because of this accident, after all, Stark Industries used to be a very stable company.

With Tony Stark at the helm, the company's stock has rarely fallen, leading to the saying in the American investment community that Stark Industries stock is a better store of value than gold! It also possesses extremely high investment value.

However, under the current circumstances, those speculators are dying horribly, jumping off buildings like dumplings being dropped into a pot, one after another.

Back in the room, Qi Yun drew all the curtains and locked the door, essentially turning the room into a secret room for the time being.

Of course, what happens next won't be a locked-room murder, since the Grim Reaper Elementary School Student isn't in this world yet.

After the secret chamber was created, Qi Yun calmed down and let his thoughts spread out along the established network of vibrations.

Using the instinctive abilities of the Supreme God, Qi Yun searched for suitable candidates within the Earth.

The first qualified candidate must be strictly selected. Qi Yun doesn't have many resources, otherwise he wouldn't be so careful to guard against ordinary people.

He's now counting on his first employee to be reliable enough to restore his depleted resource pool.

Of course, ever since he learned which world he was in, Qi Yun had a general range of choices for the number one person.

First, Captain America. He has a righteous personality, strong abilities, and can go toe-to-toe with anyone. He performs well in most missions. The downside is that choosing Captain America means that early development will be relatively slow, after all, Captain America is just a soldier.

Secondly, Spider-Man is kind-hearted, has considerable scientific research ability, strong physical fitness, quick reflexes, and a certain degree of resistance to many harsh environments.

The downside is that they are too childish, and such people are prone to failing missions due to things they encounter along the way.

Peter's death wasn't a big problem for Qi Yun, but the mission failure was a different story. How long would it take him to accumulate enough experience to recruit someone else and develop his business?

Third, Coulson, a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., has extensive experience as an agent, is approachable, and is the legendary village chief of the newbie village. He has a strong ability to give back to his former superiors, after all, he is backed by a large organization.

There are quite a few drawbacks. The first is his own ability. It's not that Qi Yun is mocking him, but Coulson's ability makes most missions difficult to complete, and the failure rate of early missions is frighteningly high.

Secondly, choosing him means there's a higher chance the main god will leak information. Although Qi Yun isn't particularly afraid, having a bunch of people watching this matter in the early stages of the game can be quite troublesome.

Fourth, Tony Stark is the most ideal choice. He is highly capable, able to build a Jaeger with bare hands using only rudimentary equipment and a missile. He is also highly intelligent, and his chances of completing any mission he is assigned are not low.

The downside is, firstly, the issue of personal safety. Once chosen, Qi Yun has no ability to rescue him directly. If he dies at the hands of those terrorists, Qi Yun would probably be devastated. However, after accepting the gift, with Tony's abilities, the probability of such a thing happening is incredibly low.

Aside from that, there's also the issue of his personality. This guy has an extremely awful personality, and who knows what he might do during a mission.

Qi Yun is not the main god at his peak, able to ignore their petty actions. You have to know that even now he has to avoid the Ancient One when he does things, otherwise he might end up like Dormammu, having to negotiate terms.

Similarly, Thor is not on Qi Yun's list either, and he can't afford to offend Odin right now.

After much deliberation, my thoughts drifted between several candidates, but I ultimately settled on Tony Stark, who was based in the Middle East.

Choosing this person offers a moderate level of risk and reward, making them a suitable starting character.

Once it was confirmed, Qi Yun stopped thinking about it. That's just how he is; once he's done something, he's done it, and once it's decided, it's decided. There's no point in changing it or regretting it.

By bringing the fluctuations to a halt, Qi Yun successfully connected with Tony Stark.

This guy is frantically tinkering with his mech, trying to escape.

"Suitable one... The God's Space is open for you..."

Upon hearing this sound, Tony touched the wire on his chest. Was this thing affecting his brain?

[Tests revealed that the eligible candidate suffered severe physical damage... but their vital signs are relatively stable...]

[Scan complete. The intelligence level of the qualified individual exceeds that of 99% of the specimens...]

The continuous sounds made Tony stop what he was doing. Hallucinations are possible, but such a logical hallucination is unlikely.

Dr. Ethan, seeing Tony's stunned expression, leaned closer with some concern.

"Tony, is something wrong? Is the battery dead?" Ethan asked anxiously.

Tony raised his right hand, signaling Ethan to be quiet. He had a feeling that his chance to escape had come!

[Initial selection of benefits is underway...]

[Expansion complete. Tony Stark, join the God Realm?]

Qi Yun waited anxiously for Tony's choice. If Tony chose no, it would be the worst possible start.

Thinking about this, he felt a little annoyed that he, as the supreme god, had to give eligible candidates the right to choose! Couldn't they just get on the train first and buy the ticket later?!

Tony pondered for a moment, then spoke softly, "What does the Main God Space represent? What can I gain by joining, and what will I have to give up?"

Ethan was next to Tony and could only see his mouth moving, but he didn't hear him make a sound, so he was a little suspicious that the fragments in Tony's body might have gone into his brain.

[By joining the Main God Space, you will travel through worlds within a certain time limit to complete assigned tasks. The richness of the rewards will be determined by the degree of task completion...]

[Furthermore, the Main God Space is omnipotent!]

Tony read the message Qi Yun had sent in his mind. He was starting to believe what the God Space said, since transmitting large amounts of text into a person's brain and keeping it stable was no easy task.

"All-powerful? Can it resurrect the dead?"

As Tony said this, images of his father Howard and mother flashed through his mind.

Within the Main God Space, there are multiple methods to resurrect the dead. The success of the resurrection depends on the method used, the items used, and the recipient.

Upon hearing this, Tony suddenly felt an impulse, but at this crucial moment, his thinking became even clearer.

"Can you let me leave here?" Tony then asked, as he needed to confirm a few things.
