Chapter 286: Ancient One

Xiwen looked at the white-bearded old man in a purple robe in amazement, and his eyes unconsciously became moist.

"Teacher......" he muttered. Are you really a teacher? ”

Master Yao, or the Ancient One, showed a smile and said slowly, "How are you doing in another universe, Xiaowen?" ”

Xiwen heard Gu Yi's familiar tone and saw the familiar smile on his face, and finally he was sure that this was Master Yao, who had nurtured him for twenty years and was also a master and father, who had really crossed the space and appeared in front of him!

"I'm doing well, thank you for giving me this chance to be born again!" Xiwen nodded heavily, and indulged in sharing the story of the fifteen years of living in this world with his teacher.

He begins with his possession of a baby whose soul has been destroyed by a curse, and when he was born, he encountered a dark wizard who came to attack him, and used the guardian spell applied to his soul to destroy the attacker...... All the way to the three years of studying Charms at Hogwarts.

Xiwen recounts all the pleasant, thrilling, sad, and shocking moods and experiences.

Gu Yi smiled faintly, listening to Xiwen's enthusiastic narration.

"It looks like you're living a fulfilling and happy life in this world!" He smiled kindly and said. "It's just that I'm guessing you're missing something. Why didn't the demon god who has been trying to invade your universe for thousands of years tell me? ”

"I don't want you to worry!" Xiwen smiled a little wryly and said to the ancient one. "And the Grim Reaper is not a problem, I have basically thought of a way to solve the Grim Reaper, and I will definitely be able to solve him in less than two years!"

Then, without a trace, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, teacher, how did you find me in this world?" Astral projection? ”

"Also, little Brother Strange once projected into my universe, and I heard him say that you died when you were possessed by the Eye Demon, but I don't believe it. I think you just chose to give up your body and didn't actually die. ”

Gu Yi didn't hold on to the previous question, and said with a chuckle: "Sure enough, I can fool Strange, but I can't fool you, Xiwen." ”

"That's right, I've been a Supreme Mage for too long, and I'm tired and want to find the next person to take over my class. Actually, I was very happy when I picked you up, thinking that I had finally found a child with the talent of a Supreme Mage. Who knew that your soul was rejected by the universe. ”

"Thankfully, I discovered Strange through the Time Stone, and he's going to be the best of us."

"So you just lied to him that he was gone, leaving him there alone to resist the responsibility of the Supreme Mage?" Xiwen asked, a little amused. "I've heard Strange say that he's been killed by Dormammu many, many times in the time loop, and he's almost blinded."

Hearing Xiwen tell what happened to Strange, the Ancient One couldn't help but laugh and said, "But he has also exercised his abilities in countless time loops." If it weren't for the experience of fighting the Demon God thousands of times, Strange would not have been able to develop enough magical abilities to serve as a Supreme Mage in such a short period of time. ”

"If you look at it this way, no matter how you look at it, he won't lose."

Xiwen also smiled: "So, he is still a blessing in disguise?" ”

"Of course." Gu Yi said with a smile.

"I'll answer your other question." Then, he temporarily suppressed the smile on his face and continued. "Speaking of which, I found you by accident this time. Because I found out that someone had just borrowed the power of eternity, and out of curiosity it was just going back to the roots. ”

Hearing about the power of eternity, Xiwen was suddenly startled and realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Wait, teacher, what is my body doing now, without the control of the soul body, is the eternal power going out of control?!" He said with some anxiety.

"Rest assured, time stands still in this space." Gu Yi shook his head and said to Xiwen. "In addition, I didn't pull your entire soul body into the space, just projected a wisp of your spirit into it."

Xiwen breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to look at this strange space curiously.

Seeing that Xiwen had been relieved, the ancient one continued to explain: "After I gave up my body, I turned into the Holy Spirit and followed the eternal god to travel in the universe and time, and continued my unfinished practice. Today, while I was practicing, I stumbled upon someone borrowing eternal power, and in curiosity, I traced the source of the borrowed power. ”

"It's strange to say, after tracing back to the source, I actually found the apprentice I personally sent to this world, and I just happened to find that you were in some trouble, so I pulled your spirit over!"

Xiwen nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "So what kind of place is this?" ”

"Now this space is an eternal space, and every transparent film you can see in your eyes is a universe in the eyes of eternity!"

At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in the direction of Xiwen's left, and this abrupt explosion startled him.

"What's going on?" Shivin asked, shocked.

"I think you should know what this is?" Gu Yi glanced at him encouragingly and said.

Xiwen frowned, and turned his head to look at the traces of the explosion that had slowed down countless times over there.

The flames from the explosion lingered for a long time, turning into a blinding curtain of light, but it did not cause any damage to Xiwen under the restraint of a transparent film.

The explosion blasted through countless tiny substances, as if a tiny projectile spewed out the sand in it, squeezing the transparent film to grow larger and expander.

The larger the transparent film is propped up, the more familiar it becomes.

Looking at the membrane on the other side, which held an entire universe, Xiwen's eyes widened suddenly.

"It's ...... The Big Bang?! He exclaimed.

The Ancient One nodded approvingly.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiwen immediately turned his head to look at the sky covered with countless universes, trying to find the existence of another unique state.

Sure enough, after a moment of searching, he found a transparent film that was shrinking. In the center of the film, there is an incomparably huge hole, and all the matter inside the film is sweeping towards the hole, and even the light cannot escape its pursuit.

Eventually, all matter comes together and merges into an invisible singularity that dissipates in the space along with the transparent film.

"Is the end of the universe completely swallowed up by a black hole?" Xiwen paused for a moment and asked.

"Or rather, there is no end to the universe." The Ancient One said in his unique deep voice. "Cycle after cycle, this is the meaning of the universe."

In the beginning, the singularity of infinitely small and infinitely dense exploded, pushing the universe to expand. After expanding to the limit, the singularity turns into the largest black hole in the universe, sucking the entire universe into it, and finally turning into an infinitesimal singularity again, and the whole thing happens.

Xiwen frowned deeply, looked at the ancient one and asked, "I don't understand, aren't we mages?" Why are you exploring the question of science? ”

"Doesn't science really seem to you to be a form of magic?" The Ancient One smiled.

"And magic, isn't it a science?"
