I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"However, during her thousand-year reign, no one has emerged who can take over the responsibilities of the Supreme Master."

"So she couldn't get over that mental hurdle and had to keep living."

Harvey slowly explained when he heard Sonia's question.

The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, was able to extend her lifespan, but the method she used to do so was to come into contact with dark magic, which is considered shameful by the magical world.

Harvey didn't know if the Ancient One had ever revealed that she had lived for a thousand years.

However, it doesn't matter if it's exposed, because human lifespan is short, so secrets can be covered up.

Gu Yi knew that what she had done was something she couldn't tell others.

However, she has been unable to bring herself to quit, so she has been dragging it out until now.

But then the new Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange, appeared.

Finally, the Ancient One had someone to shift the blame to, or rather, an excuse to escape this tedious life of always living for others.

So after passing the responsibility to Stephen Strange as planned, the Ancient One simply abandoned the task.

"Because they are human, they cannot find a successor and will die?"

"But the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, was also a powerful being at the pinnacle of the universe."

"Why hasn't Odin, who is also at the pinnacle of the universe, had this thought after living for so many years?"

Sonia understood a lot from what she heard, but she was still a little confused.

“Odin is different from the Ancient One. Odin was born a god, had a long life, and possessed great power.”

"He established Asgard, and with his beloved always by his side as a support, he never experienced loneliness."

"The Venerable Master Gu was born as a human being, and although he became the Venerable Master and established his power through his own efforts."

"She has never stepped out of the human realm. Everything she has been in contact with is related to being human. She has been in contact with everything in the universe, but she has not accepted everything in the universe."

"So there are people in the universe who can understand her, but she just hasn't gone looking for them."

"Of course, I have no right to interfere in other people's lives."

"I also said that the Ancient One will die, but her physical body will perish, while her soul will not truly perish and will remain active in the realm of the soul."

"She is simply breaking free from the constraints of reality and entering the realm of the soul to truly enjoy living a life for herself."

Harvey calmly replied when Sonia used Odin as an example.

To put it simply, the Ancient One has lived for thousands of years, protecting Earth for so many years, and has also been lonely for so many years; her heart is weary.

I don't want to live for Earth anymore; I want to live for myself from now on.

Harvey didn't see any problem with that.

Because no one is born with an obligation to live for others; all actions are based on one's own conscience.

"Can one only enjoy it by entering the realm of the soul?"

"Isn't it better to enjoy it in the real world?"

Sonia has now fully understood why the Ancient One died—not because she was killed by a powerful enemy, but because she wanted to die.

However, she still couldn't quite understand the Ancient One's mindset.

She didn't know what the realm of the soul was like, but she felt that reality had more interesting things to offer.

"I don't know, everyone is different."

"Who cares what she's thinking? Just live your own life well."

Harvey smiled and said upon hearing this.

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Sonia stopped worrying about what the Ancient One was thinking.

She developed the Cult of the Void for Mr. Kassadin, and also for herself.

Because she thoroughly enjoys seeing the power grow stronger step by step through her own efforts.

She may grow tired of it in the future, but she can always choose to retire when that time comes.

Mr. Kassadin certainly won't stop her; that's the freedom of joining the Cult of the Void.

The following day, Tony and Banner returned to Earth.

This time, Tony brought back a huge amount of materials for making a space communicator.

It's impossible to buy it directly from space. Although the price of a non-latest model space communicator isn't high, it still costs around 10,000 space coins.

Unless the space communicator suffers a major blow, it will not break.

Therefore, for people of various civilizations in the universe, they can easily buy it by working hard for a few months.

Once you buy it, it should last for at least 10 or 20 years, if not a one-time investment.

However, for Earth, which has not yet entered the interstellar age and does not have the means to earn cosmic currency, this is not the case.

Let alone 10,000 universe coins, even one universe coin would be a challenge for Earth.

Tony is rich and will get richer, but if he buys everything, it will be at least a billion dollars.

Therefore, it is necessary to produce the materials ourselves and then gradually expand the scale over several years to achieve universal access.

However, before that, after Tony returned to Stark Estate on Earth.

At this time, Pepper was still working at Stark Industries.

Tony didn't care and simply asked Jarvis to contact Helen Zhao for him.

Zhao Hailun was relaxing with afternoon tea while checking her data.

Suddenly, she discovered that her computer had been hacked, and the image of a young, handsome brown-haired man appeared directly in front of Zhao Hailun.

"……Who are you."

Zhao Hailun didn't know who this man was, but since he was able to directly infiltrate her computer, his hacking skills must be extraordinary.

"Hello, Ms. Helen Zhao, a genius scientist in genetics."

"I am Tony Stark, or you can call me Iron Man."

"I'll get straight to the point: I need you to work for me."

Tony smiled and spoke when he saw Helen Zhao.

"Iron Man Tony Stark?"

"You're nothing like Tony Stark."

"And do you think I'll necessarily do what you need me to do?"

"Even if I agreed, the higher-ups behind me wouldn't agree."

Hearing Tony's words, Zhao Hailun looked at the man in the image and said without any politeness.

“My words are absolute.”

“If I say I need you to work for me, then you must work for me.”

Whether the higher-ups behind you obstruct me or not makes no difference to me.

"What I need to do next is lead humanity into the interstellar age."

"Your medical technology is useful to humans."

"I have already sent someone to pick you up. As for any other obstacles, you don't need to worry about them."

Tony replied proudly.

Chapter 464 A wise person knows when to yield.

Tony wants to lead humanity into the interstellar age, but that doesn't mean he's willing to humble himself for it.

He is none other than Tony Stark, the Void Pioneer.

He may not be a big shot in the universe, but he has made a name for himself.

Therefore, Harvey was the only person he could humble himself to beg for help from, and also the last one.

He knew he wanted the people of Earth to become a community with a shared future.

You will definitely encounter many obstacles, and you may even be condemned by everyone.

Those who know when to yield are wise; Tony won't tolerate ignorant and unknowable forces and people.

The world has both wise and foolish people. Since the foolish people don't know how to see the situation clearly, they don't want to board the ship to space.

So expecting him to shamelessly beg others to help him is absolutely impossible.

"You said you've already sent someone to look for me?"

"You think it's so easy to get in here?"

"Assuming you really are Iron Man, do you think that just because you're hailed as a hero by countless people, you're truly above the law and technology?"

"From what I know of Tony Stark, the old antiques you make don't have that kind of capability."

"The future of Earth belongs to the era of nanotechnology."

Zhao Hailun laughed when she saw Tony Stark's arrogant demeanor.

She acknowledged that Tony Stark was a genius, but believed that she was no less intelligent than him.

It's just that the two of them took different research and development paths.

"The future of Earth is not nanotechnology; that can only be considered one branch at best."

"The future of Earth is the interstellar age."

"And the future of the universe belongs to the strong."

"You haven't set foot in space and don't understand the true state of the universe, so I don't blame you."

Tony's eyes held a hint of admiration as he saw Zhao Hailun's confident demeanor.
