I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"What difference is there between me and what I'm going through now, just watching helplessly?"

The Ancient One spoke after hearing Odin's words.

"You are worried that if you do something, it will have far-reaching consequences, and that saving this group of people will lead to the deaths of even more people, so you are unwilling to actively interfere with the future."

"This is the constraint you imposed on yourself for wanting to do it this way."

"But after your physical body perishes, the material and magical realms of this universe will also perish."

"Whether you want to manage it or not, you no longer have the right to choose."

"However, actively seeking death is not necessarily a bad choice."

Harvey responded calmly upon hearing this.

Limited predictive ability can make a person live a fulfilling life, but excessive predictive ability only brings a lot of boredom to life.

Because some futures are destined to be unchangeable if one lacks sufficient strength, as if it were a predetermined fate.

The Ancient One's possession of the Time Stone granted her the ability to see into the past and future, which directly diminished her thirst for knowledge about the future.

He could ignite the Ancient One's will to live, but he didn't want to.

"Since it's your choice, I can only respect it."

When Odin heard Kassadin say that pursuing death was a good choice, he understood that Kassadin did not intend to bring the Ancient One into the Void.

However, it's not that he can't understand it.

The Ancient One was blessed by Dormammu, gaining the ability to draw power from the Dark Dimension to extend her lifespan, and then she plotted against Dormammu.

Preventing Dormammu from invading the material realm of this universe is a great thing, but betrayal is betrayal.

As far as Kassadin is concerned, since the Ancient One was able to betray Dormammu after gaining power, she might also be able to betray Kassadin.

"I have a question I'd like to ask you both."

"Kassadin, the god of the void, and Odin, the king of the gods, why have you lived for such an incredibly long time, yet still retain the desire to live on?"

Don't you feel lonely?

The Ancient One understood that Kassadin meant for him to leave, but instead of leaving immediately, he looked at Odin and Kassadin and asked.

She had had enough of loneliness in the short span of a thousand years, while these two big shots did not seem to feel the same way.

So she wanted to find out what the big shot was thinking.

When Odin heard about the desire to live, he directly expressed his own feelings.

"Even if I die, I will not feel lonely, for my father and mother are waiting for me in Valhalla."

"And Asgard in the present world is what I care about."

"So I will never feel lonely."

Odin smiled happily as he spoke of these things.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient One immediately understood Odin's situation and thoughts, and that it offered no guidance whatsoever.

Therefore, the Ancient One turned his attention to Kassadin, the god of the void.

In fact, what she most wanted to know was what Kassadin, the god of the void, was thinking.

"Different perspectives, different mindsets, different pursuits, that's all."

When Harvey heard the Ancient One ask if he felt lonely, and sensing the Ancient One's gaze, he calmly replied.

He had long known that becoming a true pinnacle of power was destined to be a solitary endeavor.

The universe contains billions of living beings, but only a very few can reach the pinnacle.

Therefore, the higher you stand, the fewer people you can accompany you through the long years and the fewer people you can share common topics with.

Creatures with infinite lifespans and those with finite lifespans have completely different views on many things.

"What's the difference? Could you please point it out?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi was startled and immediately asked.

"The strong are inherently lonely."

"The loneliness you experience is simply a necessary path for the strong."

"Being unable to bear that loneliness only shows that your mindset is not in line with your abilities."

Harvey glanced at the Ancient One upon hearing this and said calmly.

"But the grief of watching his close friends, relatives, and apprentices die one after another."

"And the loneliness that cannot be shared with others is truly unbearable."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's eyes showed a hint of melancholy.

"Since you can't understand it, then pursuing death might not be a bad choice, is it?"

Harvey saw the Ancient One's melancholy as she reminisced about the past, but he didn't offer any words of comfort.

The Ancient One's situation stemmed from not having the right mindset when she initially chose to extend her lifespan, nor did she realize the inevitable events that would follow in her future.

They were so focused on prolonging their lives that they hoped to find a reliable successor.

Then, for thousands of years, the Ancient One was misunderstood by countless people and had no way to explain herself to anyone.

Even if the Ancient One establishes a stronger connection with Odin, Odin will still be unable to understand her.

As Odin just said, he never felt alone.

It's quite simple to correct the Ancient One's mindset: make her truly realize what it means to live for herself, not for others.

The Ancient One's pain and loneliness all stemmed from her excessive self-imposed limitations and her overly tolerant and compassionate attitude towards others.

There may only be one human who has lived for thousands of years: the Ancient One.

However, the Ancient One was not the only human to have lived for hundreds of years.

There are also natural-born witches who are aware of living for themselves, so they never feel lonely even after living for hundreds of years.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi realized that Kassadin, the god of the void, had already given him guidance and did not intend to give him any more.

Even though Kassadin knew exactly how to change her mindset, he didn't want to do it.

Thank you.

"Then farewell."

Gu Yi knew that she couldn't force others to do what they wanted, so she stood up.

The Ancient One then opened the golden portal, stepped inside, and left.

Only after the Grandmaster and the Ancient One had both left did Tony dare to speak.

"Kassadin, aren't you planning to recruit the Ancient One into the Void?"

"Compared to her disciples, winning her over would probably bring more help to the Void God Cult."

Tony looked at Harvey with some confusion.

"Although she is young, she is not as easy to manage as you might think."

Before Harvey could answer, Odin spoke up.

As someone who understands the Ancient One, Odin can fully comprehend Kassadin's actions.

What happened in her past?

"Isn't she the guardian of the magic world on Earth?"

Tony was puzzled by Odin's words.

"Leaving aside her past deeds."

"She has seen too much of the future and her personality has been solidified by the constraints of the magical world."

"It's a better choice to win over her apprentices than to win her over."

Harvey spoke up upon hearing this.

"Gu Yi should know that you might come into contact with her apprentices."

Odin spoke after hearing Kassadin's plan.

As a member of the Void God Cult, he naturally considered the issue from the perspective of the Void God Cult.

Because the stronger the Void God Cult becomes, the more beneficial it will be for him, and the less harmful it will be.

"What good will knowing do? It's something she can't change."

Harvey wasn't worried at all; he was no longer the same person he was eight years ago.

The Ancient One's magic was completely ineffective against him; he could kill the Ancient One in less than three seconds.

Chapter 502 Living for oneself is not selfishness

"It's not easy to control your own destiny, let alone control your future destiny."

Odin understood upon hearing this and sighed.

The Ancient One was very powerful, but at most she could only control her own destiny, and her fate after death was not under her control.

Upon hearing the words of Kassadin and Odin, Tony deeply felt the sorrow of not being able to control his own destiny.

"So what exactly is the problem with the Ancient One?"

Tony was also very curious about this question.

Odin didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Kassadin.

Because he also wanted to know the source of the Ancient One's desire to die.

"Simply put, it's about the Ancient One's mindset and experiences."

"It is far from keeping up with the power she wields and the vision she has expanded to far exceed that of countless people."

"She has always kept herself locked on Earth, without venturing into the wider universe."

"This has kept the Ancient One's thinking largely unchanged for many years."
