"You can think of it as a kind of authority, the authority to bring people out. This kind of authority is very rare and there is a limit to the number of people who can use it."

"What kind of being will I become after I get out? Just like you?"

"No, but it's not subservient either. The real world is completely different from what you imagine."

"What if I ask for an advance payment now?"

"That won't work either. It's not that I don't want to, but this permission can only be activated when I leave."

The question-and-answer session between the two was extremely fast and without any unnecessary words; every question from the Ancient One hit the nail on the head.

Li Xia didn't beat around the bush or deceive anyone; he simply and calmly stated what he could and couldn't do.

After this rapid question-and-answer session ended, the entire third-floor terrace fell into a long period of tranquility.

At this moment, the sun had completely sunk below the horizon, and the moon hung in the sky.

The originally gentle warm breeze turned into a slightly cool evening breeze.

Li Xia discovered that the entire Supreme Depths seemed to be under a spell.

Looking out from this terrace, the starry sky, which is rarely seen due to light pollution, is surprisingly clear here.

The Milky Way stretches across the sky overhead, exuding an extraordinary grandeur and beauty. Looking up at the starry sky at any time always brings a profound sense of awe and reality.

"I will determine whether what you said is true in the future."

The Ancient One finally broke the silence once again. After saying something in a low voice, she asked:

"Now let's talk about what you need my help with. Do you want me to help you get the Reality Stone directly?"

"Of course not. I will try to obtain the Reality Gem myself. You can think of it as homework."

Li Xia leaned back in her chair and said casually:

"I came here to complete my assignment, so it's okay to ask for some help from you or others. But if there's too much help, it will affect the evaluation of this assignment."

Even though she had heard so many shocking things before and was somewhat prepared, Gu Yi still felt inexplicably sad and had a complex emotion that was hard to describe at this moment.

Her gaze fell on the street below, where a constant stream of people continued to move about.

Each person wore a different expression on their face; they were all so real.

Then Gu Yi raised her head again and looked up at the boundless night sky.

The stars twinkled and shone, like a piece of fine, soft gauze, adorned with gems of all sizes, each shimmering with different colors.

Is this the kind of world, this very real world, that is merely homework and a classroom for some higher being?

She suddenly felt something was absurd, but the knowledge in his mind told him that it was very likely true.

That's why, after much hesitation, Gu Yi finally decided to "wait and see."

"What I need your help with is very simple..."

Gu Yi listened to Li Xia's words, and the expression on her face was actually somewhat relieved and relaxed:

"That's all? That's easy."

"Yes, that's fine."

"Yes, your request will be fulfilled."

"Oh, right, there's one more request."

Li Xia put down her teacup and said with a smile, "Are there any rooms available? I'd like to stay here for a couple of days, since it's quite close by."

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, Gu Yi understood what he was referring to.

"There are many guest rooms on the second floor; you can choose any one."

.......................

The massive space carrier was in a state of chaos, with traces of the battle visible everywhere.

S.H.I.E.L.D. staff frantically carried out emergency repairs, with flames rising everywhere due to the damage.

The dense fog from the automatic fire suppression system and fire extinguishers filled the corridor, and emergency responders in white uniforms ran around carrying first aid kits.

Sparks flickered at the crack, blood splattered on the walls, and shell casings and bullet ricochet marks were visible on the ground.

In the fleet's main control room, the atmosphere was particularly somber. The newly formed Avengers sat around the table, their expressions filled with confusion and disappointment.

How can a team that hasn't gone through a period of adjustment and collaboration easily achieve a synergistic effect where 1+1>2?

Their mutual distrust and their own arrogance led to them being almost completely overwhelmed when faced with Hydra's surprise attack.

"He may never have the chance to get your autograph."

Nick Fury tossed a stack of cards in front of Captain America and said to himself:

"This was found in Coulson's pocket..."

Coulson, that guy, he always believed in heroes, until he became a hero himself, and died a hero.

He paused here, a visible sadness appearing on his usually impassive, dark face:

"Perhaps I brought this upon myself."

Yes, the Tesseract was indeed used to develop weapons.

But I placed more of my hopes on another, more dangerous and disruptive project.

Stark, you should know about this project.

Tony Stark sat blankly in the chair, expressionless.

Agent Coulson was also his friend, and the two got along well; Tony also felt an indescribable sadness at the departure of someone he knew well.

"That's right, this project is the Avengers Project."

But I have to admit, this project seems to have failed.

Because the heroes Coulson believed in until his death were arrogant, vulgar, and incapable of unity, stubbornly believing only in their own abilities.

He believed these people could maintain peace and save the world.

But it was he, an ordinary, unremarkable person, who died.

With a thud, the chair slammed against the table, and Tony Stark jumped to his feet.

His eyes lost focus, darting away as if he dared not face such a stab-in-the-heart question, and he walked away quickly with his head down.

Captain America picked up the stack of cards in front of him and looked at his old photo on the cards, which was still stained with blood.

He suddenly felt as if something unusually heavy was pressing on his chest.

When Coulson met him, the awkward and somewhat inexplicable pride he had shown when discussing the original Captain America's collection of cards resurfaced in his mind.

The blood that gradually seeped into the cards was so glaring, it stung the heart.

He also stood up, held the card in his hand, and walked outside.

Only after the two figures had completely disappeared from sight did Hill, who had been standing next to Nick Fury with his hands behind his back, calmly say, "Sir, these cards are not in Coulson's pocket; they should be in the closet."

Nick didn't turn around, and ended all the questions with just one sentence: "This is Coulson's last wish."

A moment later, the personnel in the control room rushed over and shouted, "Sir, a fighter jet is forcibly taking off from the deck. The pilot reported that Captain America, along with Iron Man, Black Widow, and Patton, forcibly removed him from the plane and took control of it."

"I see."

Nick Fury simply nodded, offering no further instructions. The success of this war and the Avengers plan hinged entirely on their next move.

...................

"I must say, watching it live and watching it in a movie theater are definitely two different experiences."

On the third-floor terrace of the High Sanctuary, Aowu smacked his lips and spoke with great interest.

At that moment, in the sky not far away, a beam of light shot up from the top of Stark Tower and disappeared into the high sky.

The beam of light opened a pitch-black crack, creating a huge hole that looked from a distance like a fissure in the sky.

The crack was continuously spewing out strange creatures riding flying motorcycles.

As soon as they descended, they eagerly unleashed deadly beams from their weapons, indiscriminately sweeping across everything in sight.

Flames shot into the sky with the sound of explosions, and collapsed buildings and people crying and fleeing were everywhere.

A figure was firing all the weapons at his disposal in mid-air, but all his efforts seemed futile.

Faced with an extremely large alien army, it can only be described as a drop in the ocean.

"Boss, shouldn't we go? Killing monsters should give us participation points, right?"

Xiao Long and his good buddy were eager to try their skills.

These monsters are numerous, but their individual strength is not very high, making them easy to fight and allowing you to enjoy the thrill of mowing down enemies.

Having followed Li Xia for so long, what kind of things have they been fighting? Those are things that no human can touch!

I finally have a chance to unleash my full power, how can I miss it?

Most importantly, because of Li Xia's "lying flat" approach, their participation rate has been 0 since entering this world. However, a major battle based on the original storyline would definitely garner them a lot of participation.

"No rush, I'll wait and see."

Li Xia's gaze fell on the phone on the table. He wasn't sure if Nick Fury would fall into the trap he had set for him.

but......

"coming."

"Gu Yi suddenly said softly."

The next second, the phone on the table vibrated without warning.

Caller: Nick Fury

Chapter 6 One Against Ten Thousand

"You saw it all, didn't you?"

“If you’re talking about Stark Tower’s massive teleportation portal and the crumbling downtown New York City, I see.”

“I have already contacted Director Zheng, and he agrees in principle, but whether you actually take action is up to you.”

"That's right, that's how it is."

"Listen to me, the channels opened by the Cosmic Cube are still gradually expanding. If they are not closed in time, the entire Earth may be affected."

"On the other side of the passage is a continuous stream of alien troops, so in this critical moment, we must unite."

Li Xia almost laughed when she heard this:

"This is your time of crisis, not mine, nor the East's."

“But you also live on this damned Earth!” Nick Fury roared, speaking at breakneck speed.

"Listen, we have to find a way to shut down this passage."

However, the Tesseract is protected by a special barrier that cannot be broken. Tony Stark has already tried, and even with his maximum power attack, he could not break the barrier.

I remember you have spatial abilities. If you can help, please close that damned portal for the sake of us being Earthlings!

Is this how you ask for a favor?

Li Xia continued calmly and slowly:

“You don’t respect me. You ask me for a favor, but you don’t even say ‘please’.”

The three little ones next to them were already enduring it quite a bit.

Nick Fury paused, then gritted his teeth and said:

"Then I request that the Deputy Director of the Party Committee of the Divine Spear Bureau, the Second-Level Inspector, the Deputy Captain of the Field Operations Brigade, the Supervisor, the Operations Advisor, and Chief Chuan provide us with the necessary assistance?"

"Remember to send me a report, the kind that needs to be stamped."

Li Xia hung up the phone, and the three little ones next to her were practically laughing their heads off.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, but inwardly he sighed.
