Stark clutched his head, then heard Li Xia say:

"The kitten now has a bachelor's degree from a top 100 university in the world. It only took it two or three months to get the degree, and the little dragon next to it did the same."

Stark, I hope you can take care of the three of them for a while. Don't worry, they won't cause you any trouble.

I don't know if you'd be willing.

"No problem! Consider it a thank you for helping me retrieve my things."

Stark showed great interest in the three non-human creatures, especially after learning that they even had academic degrees.

"And what about you? Are you going back to the East?"

Steve also picked up a beer and clinked glasses with Li Xia, asking curiously.

"I need to leave for a while."

Li Xia stood up, raised his beer, and said goodbye:

See you later, everyone.

After downing a whole glass of beer, he put the glass down decisively, turned around, and left the crumbling barbecue restaurant.

Watching Li Xia's figure disappear, Stark asked eagerly:

What kind of bed do you like? What brands of cat and dog food do you have in mind?

Awoo: ?

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

"Is it alright to hand over your three companions to Stark?"

Ancient One sat at the table, flipping through a spellbook, and casually asked a question.

Li Xia toyed with the Cosmic Cube in his hand:

"No problem. They are all very capable. Even without me by their side, the three of them are smart enough on their own."

Besides, haven't you already seen the future?

The Ancient One raised her head, sighed, and said seriously, "Even if it's the future I see, it's only one possibility. And your three companions are like you; we won't see you in the future."

So a plan is just a plan; are you sure you want to do this?

Li Xia raised her head and said with a smile, "We should give it a try. There's no risk involved. If it fails, we'll just follow another plan."

The Cosmic Cube is indeed amazing. When I got it, the Hall of Light didn't give me many hints, it just briefly popped up a panel.

【Cosmic Cube】

[Category: Infinity Stones - Space]

[Effect: Possesses the power to control space]

[Synopsis: A wondrous gem formed from the singularity during the Big Bang, possessing the power to control the entire universe. However, getting it to obediently transport you somewhere is not so easy.]

"Do you know what I'm talking about?"

The Ancient One's expression grew increasingly serious.

"If it fails, that's fine. We'll proceed according to your plan, and there won't be any surprises."

But if you succeed, you'll face an unprecedentedly complex situation, you know that.

"I'm used to it."

This single sentence silenced Gu Yi; she could feel the heavy weight behind it.

"It seems the world outside the box isn't as wonderful as I imagined..."

"Someone descended upon various worlds like a god, taking whatever they wanted from the world and plundering at will..."

"Some people are like that, but they don't have the power to plunder at will."

Li Xia put the Rubik's Cube away:

"But that world contains infinite wonders; for the brave, it is both the best and the worst world."

I hope that at the end of this story, I can say one last thing to you…

He looked at the Ancient One's face and said seriously:

Welcome to... the Hall of Light!

In an instant, Gu Yi felt the once stable world tremble, as if just mentioning this name had startled some incredibly terrifying being.

This feeling made her tremble and filled her with fear.

It was as if an immense, all-encompassing will had cast its gaze upon this place.

But an aura that shared the same origin as this will also emanated from Li Xia.

This supreme will slowly faded away.

Li Xia looked at the prompt in front of him:

[Please, executioners, avoid mentioning the Temple of Light in either the derivative or original worlds.]

The words were gentle, and there was no punishment.

It seems only reserve agents are truly the most favored by the Light. If an ordinary apostle dared to say that, I'm afraid...

"Alright, that's enough chit-chat, I'm off."

He waved his hand and walked towards the house on the other side.

This room was enchanted by the Ancient One, but only for one purpose.

'Reverse Time Chamber' - One day in the room is equivalent to one year.

That was his purpose in seeking out the Ancient One: to exploit a bug in the Hall of Light using the Time Stone.

That is, what would happen if the apostles' time traveled in a way that contradicted world time?

Chapter 9 The Avengers Universe in Chaos

Li Xia sat on the sofa in the room, with something resembling a bell in front of him.

This is the 'switch' left behind by the Ancient One.

Ring the bell, and the time locks placed throughout the room will activate initially and stop when you ring them again.

At first, Li Xia considered asking the Ancient One if she could send him to the future directly using the Time Stone, but the Ancient One rejected the idea.

After discussion, the decision was ultimately made to use the time acceleration method, as it is more flexible and reliable.

He reached out and grasped the bottom of the bell, gently shaking it.

Ding!

A crisp bell rang, and suddenly pale blue, dense array patterns appeared on the walls of the entire room, with intricate magic circles beginning to flow.

Li Xia felt a jolt throughout his body; his incredibly powerful spiritual sense seemed to be telling him that something had become disconnected from the outside world. A notification from the Hall of Light immediately popped up:

[Warning! A discrepancy has been detected between the executioner's time flow and the external environment.]

[Warning! The ratio of the timeline between the Chief Executioner's current time and the world's timeline has reached 1:365]

This flow of time may cause a significant difference between the presiding officer's actual time and external time.

[Judgment in progress...]

Based on the fundamental rules of the Hall of Light, the executioner's interests take precedence over differences in time flow.

[Drills are in progress...]

The world will evolve based on the current global order...

[Executioner, this action could potentially cause chaos in the derivative world. Please try to avoid creating actions that disrupt the time flow.]

Yes, it's pretty much as I expected.

The warning was mild, and there was still no punishment.

But isn't there no other way?

The Temple of Light was exceptionally generous, granting 120 days, but even those 120 days were not enough.

The entire Avengers universe spans more than a decade, from "The Avengers" to "Avengers: Endgame".

Even if my actions might lead to a completely different future for the world, 120 days is far from enough.

If you want to extend the time span, this is the only way.

Li Xia took out a book from the side and quietly began to flip through it.

All that's left is to wait.

The room was unusually quiet, and the clock on the wall was ticking away.

The faint light emitted by the dense and intricate time-manipulation spells all around added a touch of mystery to the entire room.

Time passed by, minute by minute, until a message suddenly popped up in his team's channel.

"Boss, come quick!"

The bell rang again in the room, and everything slowly stopped, returning to calm. It was as if an indescribable power descended upon his body.

The true qi within his body surged, and Li Xia clenched his fist, slowly exhaling.

This must be the shock caused by the flattening of the time folds, meaning that the time that was skipped is now entirely applied to him at this moment.

However, these are minor issues.

Li Xia pushed open the door, and sunlight streamed through the window lattice, bathing the entire hall in a halo of light on the antique furniture.

The Ancient One sat in the outer hall, exuding an extremely calm and peaceful aura.

She closed the book in her hand:

"how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, I don't feel any discomfort."

Li Xia moved his body, and the feeling of time instantly overlapping and then rushing through his body was somewhat strange.

"That's good."

Gu Yi stood up: "I was worried that the time distortion caused by this acceleration at the end would cause some harm to people."

Normally, the Time Stone would bear the brunt of such turmoil for me.

Your resilience is surprisingly strong.

She walked to the window with her hands behind her back, looked up at it for a while.

"So what's the reason you came out this time?"

"I thought you knew everything that was happening on this earth."

“At first I would use the Eye of Agamotto to observe, but I haven’t done so since talking to you.”

I have to get used to the uncertainty of the future; after all, the outside world can't let me live like this, right?

The Ancient One, despite being a mere mortal, is truly intelligent.

Having grown accustomed to the convenience of the Time Stone, the arrival in the unobservable void will inevitably create a tremendous sense of disillusionment.

From now on, gradually stop using the Eye of Agamotto and rebuild your sensitivity to the unknown.

This would at least give her a better chance of survival once she arrives in the void.

"A very good idea, please help me out."

Li Xia stretched out her finger and circled it in mid-air:

"It's the one you guys draw circles on, open the door and take me somewhere."

Gu Yi:.......

She waved her hand, and a spark flashed in the air, then quickly drew a circle in mid-air like a streak of fire, revealing a completely different scene within the circle.
