The Grandmaster can do whatever he wants in his own territory, as long as Kassadin doesn't interfere, nothing will happen.

However, since Kassadin explicitly stated that the Nine Realms were also part of the Void Cult's territory, no action could be taken without Kassadin's permission or order.

There's no way the Celestial Venerable would dare to directly attack Earth.

Even knowing that the Grandmaster was Kassadin's servant.

Odin and the Grandmaster discussed the matter beforehand; Odin did not speak to the Grandmaster directly in a commanding or demanding tone.

The Ancient One's words sounded like a command, so it's understandable that the Grandmaster became so agitated and showed no respect.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't want my plan to go wrong."

When the Ancient One heard Odin's words, he knew that he was the one who had angered the Grandmaster so much, and he had no reason to defend himself.

“You are the guardian of the magic world of Blue Star. I understand that you instinctively resisted the idea of ​​him staying, so I won’t say anything to you.”

Kassadin spoke in response to the Ancient One's gratitude and apology.

The Grandmaster possesses eternal life and unparalleled power, and can traverse the multiverse; he is the kind of person who has nothing to lose.

Even if he incurs the wrath of the gods in this universe, the Grandmaster can simply run away to another universe and return after tens or hundreds of thousands of years.

However, any powerful enemy that the Celestial Venerable provokes is not of infinite lifespan; he can wear them down until they die.

This is also the most powerful reliance of the High Celestial Venerable.

Tony, who was sitting to the side, also truly witnessed the Grandmaster's domineering and dangerous nature.

The Celestial Venerable, being an ancient monster who has lived for billions of years,

The fact that Kassadin, the God of the Void, could overpower the Celestial Venerable does not mean that all the top figures in the universe can do the same.

At least based on what we just saw, it was clear that the Ancient One, who was also a peak powerhouse, had no way to deal with the Grandmaster.

This made Tony realize that there are differences even among top-tier experts.

Chapter 501 The Difference in Mindset

Thank you for your understanding.

Ancient One expressed his gratitude upon hearing Kassadin's words.

Apart from Tony Stark, everyone else present was there.

Whether it's Odin, the Grandmaster, or Kassadin, the god of the void, they are all ancient monsters who have lived for at least tens of thousands of years.

She only lived for about a thousand years, so she was indeed a little girl.

Among them, Kassadin, the God of the Void, possessed abilities that directly exceeded her power limits.

If she wanted to trace the timeline of Kassadin, the god of the void, all she would see was an incredibly vast and enormous dark star; nothing else could be traced back.

Even though she knew that Kassadin often came to Earth, she would never have encountered him if she hadn't come to follow the Grandmaster's aura.

They were even more unaware of Kassadin's true identity, which turned out to be the womanizing Harvey.

"Kassadin doesn't have much ill will towards Earth, so you can rest assured."

"But Ancient One, you've finally found your successor?"

Odin didn't have many interactions with the Ancient One, but they did have a few encounters in the past.

Naturally, he also wanted to put the Ancient One at ease and prevent her from doing anything reckless, so he took the initiative to start a conversation.

He knew that the Ancient One had always been searching for a reliable successor.

For a powerful being like Odin, a thousand years is but a short span of time.

However, for the Ancient One, who was born human, a thousand years was already a torment.

To put it simply, the Ancient One's mindset is different from theirs. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel any problem even if she lived for tens of thousands of years, let alone a thousand.

"Yes, this is the last year."

"He is about to complete his training and is ready to be passed on his mantle."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi glanced at Kassadin, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"It just so happens that my throne has passed to the next generation of Thor."

"I hope your apprentice can develop a closer relationship with Asgard."

Odin smiled and said upon hearing this.

"You Asgards are also outsiders to Earth."

"As the Supreme Sorcerer who protects the Blue Star, it would be easy to make mistakes if I got too close to you outsiders."

The Ancient One certainly understood Odin's meaning, but she also had her own concerns.

She never got too close to Asgard to avoid a deep relationship.

If Asgard were to wreak havoc on Earth, he would be unable to intervene due to personal relationships.

She had foreseen the future regarding Loki's incident, knowing that at most it would cause disaster, but it would also be something that would re-establish Asgard's connection with Earth.

This was a good thing for the material world of Blue Star, so she didn't bother with it.

However, with the arrival of Kassadin, the god of the void, in this universe...

The events of the Battle of New York took a slight turn; the connection between humanity and Asgard was restored, but the catastrophe was significantly reduced.

"You're still so old-fashioned. Earth is also part of Asgard's territory."

"Protecting Earth is also our responsibility in Asgard."

Odin didn't mind the Ancient One's disrespectful words.

"Your protection of Earth dates back to a very long time ago."

"The recent turmoil on Earth was caused by your son, Loki."

When the Ancient One heard this, she did not deny Odin's past achievements, but she only addressed the matter at hand.

Then the Ancient One looked at Odin, who was incredibly young and had already recovered to his peak.

"More than these things, Odin, I want to know when you joined the Cult of the Void."

According to her original prediction of the future, Odin was destined to die.

Because even as a god, Odin could not withstand the erosion of time and would perish next year.

Hela, the goddess of death, escaped, causing Ragnarok in Asgard.

But Odin is now plotting to fake his death, and there is no sign of him actually dying.

"More than a year ago, I think."

“I’m also ready to die, but it just so happens that my son has some connection with Tony Stark.”

"After the two returned from visiting the Cult of the Void..."

"It made me realize that my life could be extended, so I naturally pursued that possibility."

"I negotiated some terms with Kassadin and received the Blessing of the Void."

Odin smiled upon hearing this.

Because it was a wise move for him, Odin was quite pleased to talk about it.

Thor and Loki became acquainted with Tony Stark, which led them to consider visiting the Cult of the Hollows.

This freed him from living in the sorrow of old age every day.

Instead, they can continue to watch their son grow up, and the glory of Asgard continues to shine.

"You've lived for tens of thousands of years, do you want to keep living?"

Ancient One had heard of the Blessing of the Void, but his understanding was incomplete. However, it now seemed that the Blessing of the Void could at least grant people a longer lifespan.

Since Odinga didn't join the Cult of the Void, the Ancient One had nothing to say.

Now that Odin has regained his peak strength, even the Ancient One cannot do anything to him.

However, she didn't quite understand Odin's desire to continue living.

"As long as there are still things to care about in one's heart, who would want to die if they can live?"

"Look at the Celestial Venerable, he's lived for so long and he's doing just fine."

"And even you yourself have lived for over a thousand years."

Odin answered the Ancient One's question matter-of-factly.

The methods by which the Ancient One prolongs her lifespan may be unknown to her disciples and many people on Earth.

However, how could figures like Odin and the Grandmaster not know the Ancient One's background?

The Ancient One extended her lifespan by using Dormammu's power.

"I have something on my mind, and I will die naturally once that is done."

Gu Yi spoke up upon hearing this.

"The death you speak of is nothing more than the demise of the physical body."

"With your abilities, why not just find a suitable place to retire? Why seek death?"

"Going after death to pursue eternity is not as good as you imagine."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, the afterlife is much more boring and dull than you can imagine."

"Even if the people and things you care about are destroyed, you can only watch helplessly and cannot intervene."

Odin spoke slowly upon hearing this.

As the pinnacle figures of the universe, most of them know how to summon eternity.

There is also a concept of a final resting place after death.

Because his father, King Bor, had already established Valhalla, Odin naturally moved directly into Valhalla after his death.

However, someone like the Ancient One, who was weak and alone, either had to build her own power in the spirit world after death, or find a powerful figure to rely on.

Therefore, the powerful figures that the Ancient One would seek out are basically one of those great gods, with Eternity being the most likely candidate.
