Chapter 1045: Changes

Will it always come to pa.s.s? Lin Rui murmured to himself upon hearing Ancient Ones words.

In truth, Lin Rui couldnt completely agree with Ancient Ones statement. If it were in the past, when Lin Rui was still weak and powerless, perhaps he would have agreed.

Back then, even if he knew the course of events and desired to change them, he lacked the power to make significant alterations. However, as Lin Ruis strength grew, he now possessed the ability to shake the original storyline.

Especially with the recent major events that occurred, Lin Rui had already significantly changed the original storyline with his own power. It could be said that he was currently opposing the forces of this worlds narrative. And he had succeeded several times.

Ancient One, do you really believe that? Even though you possess the Time Stone, a divine tool that allows you to see the past and future. After muttering to himself for a moment, Lin Rui suddenly looked up and questioned Ancient One.

Hmm? Ancient One seemed surprised by Lin Ruis question.

It wasnt that surprising to Ancient One that Lin Rui knew about the Time Stone. After all, he already knew about the traitors and Dormammu, and it wasnt entirely astonis.h.i.+ng that Lin Rui knew the Time Stone was in his possession.

What surprised Ancient One was that Lin Ruis question seemed to be directed toward the future he had seen. It was as if this extraordinary young man, Lin Rui, had the power to change the future.

Thats right. Didnt I see boundless possibilities in this young man from the very beginning? Otherwise, I wouldnt have involved him with the Earth sorcerers in the first place, Ancient One thought silently after his initial surprise.

In reality, as the possessor of the Time Stone, Ancient One had long seen countless futures regarding himself. In many of those futures, Ancient Ones fate wasnt very favorable.

Therefore, when Lin Rui mentioned the impending actions of the traitors, Ancient One already had some unfavorable thoughts in his minds. However, upon hearing Lin Ruis question, Ancient One realized that there could be alternative outcomes.

You asked a good question! Even if Ive seen futures that dont end well, who can guarantee that the future will always unfold in that manner? I am determined to create a victorious outcome! Ancient One exclaimed, his spirits suddenly uplifting in response to Lin Ruis query.

Uh Ancient One, did you really see so many unfavorable outcomes? Lin Rui, who had just asked the question out of curiosity, was taken aback by Ancient Ones enthusiastic response.

Initially, Lin Rui had merely wanted to ask whether Ancient One had used the Time Stone to see any glimpses of the future. However, Ancient Ones answer left Lin Rui feeling rather embarra.s.sed. According to Ancient Ones words, he had indeed used the Time Stone to see the future, and apparently, the outcomes werent favorable.

But its okay. Like you just said, the future is uncertain, and you will certainly create a victorious outcome! Realizing his earlier mistake, Lin Rui quickly added.

Ancient One:

Forget about it. Lets focus on doing what we can. As for you, coming here specifically to remind me of this matter, do you want to help us deal with the upcoming troubles together? Without dwelling on Lin Ruis previous statement, Ancient One remained silent for a couple of seconds before continuing.

Thats right. This time, I want to join forces with the Sorcerers to confront the imminent crisis. Although the threat originates from dimensions other than our own, ultimately, it is Earth that will suffer. And since I am already aware of it, I cannot allow the Sorcerers to face this danger alone, Lin Rui replied seriously and earnestly to Ancient Ones inquiry.

Although Lin Rui didnt know if Earth had previously encountered similar threats from other dimensions, this time, he had no intention of letting the Sorcerers face it alone. Moreover, the mainline mission issued by the system was for Lin Rui to protect the Earth three times, and this was clearly the first time. He couldnt just stand idly by.

As for the treacherous sorcerers and Dormammu, Lin Rui had considered their strength. However, he knew that their alliance would face even greater perils in the future, so why not confront these individuals with special powers now?

Perhaps their alliance would grow significantly stronger in the face of the impending crisis. After all, following the Dark Elf invasion of Earth, each faction within the alliance had clearly experienced substantial growth.

You need to understand that the enemies you will face this time are not the terrorists or mad scientists of Earth, nor the Dark Elves you previously encountered. The power possessed by the upcoming adversaries is enough to surpa.s.s your imagination. Fighting them may prove more challenging than your battles with the Dark Elves, Ancient One reminded Lin Rui upon hearing his response.

Rest a.s.sured, Ancient One. I am prepared for it, Lin Rui nodded, expressing his understanding.

Very well, its up to you then. If a battle truly ensues, I wont save your life again, Ancient One cautioned, refraining from saying anything further.

Hmm? Again? Lin Rui felt curious about the choice of words used by Ancient One.

During the battle with several elite Dark Elf warriors in the dimensional s.p.a.ce in London, Lin Rui sustained fatal injuries. If it hadnt been for Ancient Ones appearance, reversing time in that area, and saving Lin Rui, he might have perished.

Of course, due to the time reversal, Lin Rui had no way of knowing that Ancient One had saved him, and Ancient One obviously wouldnt mention it.

Well, in any case, thank you for coming specifically to remind me. Otherwise, I might have been caught off guard by Kaecilius. Moreover, this is a crucial moment for the selection of the new Sorcerer Supreme. Kaecilius chose to cause trouble in collaboration with Dormammu at this time, clearly intending to disrupt my plans, Ancient One continued when Lin Rui expressed his confusion.

Ancient One, are you really going to select the new Sorcerer Supreme? Since youre already prepared, their evil deeds wont succeed, and you will still be the Sorcerer Supreme, Lin Rui still had some doubts about the selection of the new Sorcerer Supreme at this moment.

Perhaps it was because Ancient One had truly seen an unfavorable outcome for himself in the future, but Lin Rui still believed that the current Ancient One wouldnt meet the same unexpected fate as in the original storyline. To die at the hands of his former student would be quite ironic.
