I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Tony thought for a moment after hearing this and then spoke.

He has encountered too many things and changed too much in the past eight years.

Things I never dared to think about before, I'm not just thinking about now, I'm already doing.

"So, what level of strength do you possess within the Void God Cult?"

"Is it at its peak, top-tier, or average?"

Stephen has been listening for more than eight years, which is not a short time for most people, and there aren't many eight-year periods in a lifetime.

However, for those who have already embarked on the path to immortality, eight years is not even the beginning stage.

"Although I would like to pat myself on the back and say that among the many members of the Void God Cult, my strength is among the top level."

"However, among the many members of the Void God Cult, my strength can only be considered top-tier at best."

"Moreover, there are at least seven people as strong as me, and we will become stronger as time goes by."

"As for who they are, unless you join the Cult of the Void, you have no need to know."

"Because their active range is mainly in the Andromeda Galaxy and other galaxies, rather than in the Milky Way."

"If you don't join the Void God Cult, you may never encounter them again in the rest of your life."

Tony knew what Stephen wanted to know from him, so he jokingly revealed some information.

Of course, even if Stephen didn't join the Cult of the Void, as the Ancient One's disciple, he would certainly have other ways to seek immortality.

However, Stephen, who chose that path, cannot be called an enemy, but he is certainly not one of them.

Since they weren't on the same page, Tony naturally wouldn't reveal too much information to Stephen.

Tony wasn't lying to Stephen when he said that the system is basically active in other galaxies.

Tony is still on Earth because he has things to do there.

Once Blue Star has grown to the point where he can completely let go of it, he will at most keep an eye on some of Blue Star's situations.

He only intervenes when facing extremely powerful enemies; otherwise, he spends most of his time on Void Island, developing new technologies and cultivating to become stronger.

"Didn't you say that Blue Star is currently mainly under your jurisdiction, protection, and development?"

"You're not planning to protect Earth?"

Stephen understood what was going on and asked a question.

"What I'm doing now is pushing for the technological development of Earth, so that Earth can reach the interstellar age as soon as possible. There are a lot of troublesome things to do for this."

"Once Earth enters the interstellar age, and if Earth encounters some major problems that it cannot handle, I will come back to help."

"But I can't stay on Earth forever."

"I'm not that selfless; I also have my own ideals."

"Therefore, I will live for myself, not for others."

Tony replied matter-of-factly.

Chapter 528 The Book Left by the Ancient One

Tony's ideas had a profound impact on Stephen.

In fact, Tony is the original version of himself. He studied medicine not only to save people but also for himself, to truly achieve success.

He also cares about his reputation when dealing with various patients.

However, the Ancient One taught him what selflessness is, which changed his thinking.

Let him fight for Earth, for the magic world.

But Stephen knew that there were no absolute saints in the world.

A person can live for others for a time, but it is basically impossible to live for others for a lifetime.

You treat the world with kindness, but the world will not treat you with kindness.

As the Ancient One once said, even if you prevent one instance of suffering, there will always be a constant stream of suffering coming your way.

Kassadin, the god of the void, commented on the Ancient One, saying that she lived her life for others, which led her to be trapped in a vortex of suffering, and she eventually sought liberation.

This means that after more than a thousand years, the Ancient One has come to her senses and realized what she did in the past.

Once she realizes what's happening, the Ancient One will make a different choice.

The first type is corruption, where one transforms from lawful good to chaotic evil, or corruption, and the things that were once protected become unpleasant to look at.

The second option is to change from Lawful Good to Good Neutral. They will still protect Earth, but they will no longer protect as many things as before, giving themselves a chance to breathe from the vortex of pain and live a more relaxed life.

The third option is to remain lawful and good, fulfilling one's duties as the Supreme Master until one seeks a successor and is then completely liberated.

There are many more variations, and it would be normal for Gu Yi to choose any one of them.

In the end, the Ancient One undoubtedly chose the third option.

So even though Stephen now knows that the Ancient One has many secrets from him.

Stephen wouldn't blame the Ancient One for passing on the title of Sorcerer Supreme to him but not for not teaching him properly.

The Ancient One gave the world so much kindness in her life, but the world repaid her with countless sufferings. Someone should give her some kindness in return.

If it weren't for the Ancient One giving him a chance to be reborn...

He was now a useless person with a lot of medical knowledge but crippled hands who refused to accept reality and eventually died of depression.

How could anyone witness a magical world that ordinary people could never see?

Just because the Ancient One isn't to blame doesn't mean Stephen won't encounter things that shake his resolve.

His intuition told him that the Void Blessing, which even the supreme being Odin sought after, must be an opportunity.

However, he does not yet know what the meaning of his life is, so he cannot make a decision.

"I'll go back and think about it carefully."

After a moment of contemplation, Stephen looked up at Tony and spoke.

"That's up to you, of course."

"Just remember not to tell anyone that you saw me, not to anyone."

"And next time you come to visit me, remember to go through the manor gate first, and then come over here."

Tony knew that he wasn't very familiar with Stephen, and he couldn't convince Stephen to believe him as easily as he had with Pepper, so he didn't try to stop him.

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Stephen stood up, gestured with his hand, and a teleportation array immediately appeared before him. He stepped into it and then closed it.

"I have to say, this teleportation is really convenient."

"I wish I could learn to teleport someday."

Tony watched Stephen leave with a look of amazement in his eyes.

“Mr. Tony, didn’t Mr. Kassadin want to win him over?”

"Is there a problem with your reserved approach to winning over Stephen Strange?"

Jarvis said with some concern after Stephen left.

"We hope to win them over, but we don't necessarily have to."

"Even the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, was not directly recruited by Kassadin, so Stephen is obviously not a necessity either."

"To put it bluntly, there is no one in the world that Kassadin absolutely needs to win over."

"Whether or not the Void God Cult has a Supreme Mage, it will certainly rule this universe in the future."

"It's simply a matter of how fast or slow it takes."

"And the Void God Cult has no shortage of time."

Tony wasn't worried at all when he heard this.

The Cult of the Void has never lacked powerful figures, even Stephen Strange, who rose to the pinnacle of the Sorcerer Supreme.

At most, he is on par with Odin, the current peak member of the Void Cult, and the Grandmaster, or perhaps even inferior.

In the future, these top experts below the peak will surely step into the ranks of the universe's peak one after another.

Tony had such confidence that he felt neither fear nor inferiority when facing Stephen Strange, the successor of the Sorcerer Supreme.

Everyone can glimpse the pinnacle of the universe; who can be more noble than whom?

"I see."

Jarvis understood after hearing this.

"That's it."

"And if Stephen isn't stupid, he'll come back to seek the Blessing of the Void."

"The power of Kamar-Taj itself, combined with all sorts of strange and wonderful magic, brings at most some benefits."

"The distance to becoming renowned throughout the universe is not just a tiny bit."

"Only by seeking forbidden powers beyond those of ordinary mages can one grow into a top-tier powerhouse in the universe."

"Stephen wants to protect Earth, but he's still far from being able to do so with his current strength."

"Stephen will make a smart choice."

Tony picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp, laughing as he walked toward the underground research lab.

Moreover, according to the information, Stephen is a very proud person who is very strict with himself.

She will try to seize any opportunity instead of sticking to the old ways and stopping herself from moving forward; her personality is somewhat similar to his.

Harvey also withdrew his gaze from the viewpoint while inside his villa.

He knew that Tony had successfully won Stephen over.

The next step is to wait for things to develop, and Stephen will naturally seek out Tony again, then follow Tony's guidance to seek a blessing.
