Chapter 1392 The Call of the Stars (XVIII)
Led by Jarvis and Wanda, Lai Li and Xu Shangqi followed the others and walked into the temple. When they arrived at the entrance of this huge temple, they found that the whole temple was floating in the air.
When entering the temple, the team seemed a little silent. Lai Li, who was good at livening up the atmosphere, did not dare to speak. Xu Shangqi had no tongue and could only communicate by sign language. Wanda was obviously in an anxious and collapsed mood and could not do anything.
When they walked into the temple, they were surprised to find that it was gorgeous and amazing. Passing through the long dark passage, they saw a gorgeous hall in front of them. Huge oriental sculptures stood on both sides, and the blazing flames in the braziers burned very vigorously.
Originally, in the end of the world, there must be many terrible secrets in the huge temple in New York's Central Park, and the light of the setting sun shining through the window should also add a touch of gloom to this scene, but for some reason, they all felt a sense of relief.
"Dong, Dong, Dong..."
The bell rang, and the low humming sound carried a hint of divinity that dispelled illusions. From the corridor on the side of the lobby, forward through the side room, and into the courtyard of the temple, Jarvis saw a familiar figure wearing a long yellow robe ringing the bell.
"Master Ancient One!" Lai Li exclaimed.
Lai Li had Spider-Man's memory, so he also knew the previous Supreme Sorcerer, at least he had seen her photo in the Holy of Holies. Lai Li wanted to rush forward, but after a moment of hesitation, he took his foot back, because he really couldn't be sure whether Master Ancient One in such a terrible world was an enemy or a friend.
The image of Ancient One walking out from behind the big bell startled everyone. She was meticulously dressed in a robe, but her face and scalp were covered with black patterns, and her eye sockets were also dark, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.
Several people stepped back a few steps and made a defensive posture. Ancient One saluted them with his hands clasped together, and a slightly ethereal voice echoed.
"Don't worry, kids. I come from the same universe as you, and I'm not crazy."
The few of them didn't let down their guard at all. Ancient One sighed and said, "How is the business of the Sanctuary of the Holy of Holies recently? Who is the sales champion this season? Is it Kang or Schiller? Or Loki?"
Laili seemed a little confused, but Jarvis blinked and said, "She seems to be the Ancient One of our universe. Except in our universe, the Supreme Mage of any universe can't have such abundant energy. Wanda, do you feel it?"
Wanda had already walked over in a daze. The powerful energy emanating from Ancient One attracted Miss Witch. Magicians are naturally attracted to the essence of energy, and Scarlet Witch is no exception.
"You should be Xu, right? I heard Zheng Xian mention you before I came here. Can you show me your jade pendant?"
Hearing Ancient One mention Zheng Xian and the jade pendant, Xu Shangqi believed it a little. He took off the jade pendant and held it in his hand, and walked forward to hand it to Ancient One.
It's not that he didn't have any concerns, but the energy in the jade pendant had long been used up, and now it was just an ordinary piece of jade, not worth anything and useless.
Gu Yi took it and checked it, then returned it to Xu Shangqi and said to them: "Come with me, I think you haven't rested for a long time."
As soon as he followed Gu Yi to the tea room, Lai Li couldn't wait to ask: "Master Gu Yi, what's going on? I mean this universe, us, and you."
But Jarvis noticed the crux of the problem. He looked into Gu Yi's eyes and asked: "Did all those missing monsters come to you?"
"I know you have a lot of questions... Gu Yi poured tea while dragging a long tone, and then said in a slightly nostalgic tone:
"All this started from a cosmic sound I heard in meditation one day a long time ago..."
Accompanied by a low and solemn voice, Gu Yi's thoughts went back to a few months ago.
After Strange officially took over the position of the Supreme Sorcerer, Gu Yi went to the Temple of Eternity to pay the price for the power she got from Vishanti, that is, to help Eternity manage the universe.
Gu Yi had no objection to this job, but Eternity did.
After working for Eternity for a short time Later, one day, Eternity called Gu Yi to the temple and euphemistically expressed his intention to lay off employees.
According to Eternity, the position of the universe has changed now. They are no longer governed by the beings in the big world, and no longer have assistance. They have changed from company employees to self-employed, so they have to cut personnel expenses.
Although their original words were not so straightforward, Gu Yi clearly understood what Eternity meant, and she was not the only one who received the layoff notice. Many Gu Yis in single universes received a message that the power they used before was given to them, and they did not need to pay a price or work again.
This is good news for Gu Yi in other universes, but it is inevitable that Schiller, the Gu Yi in a single universe, will feel a little lonely. After all, the Supreme Mage in her world is good at both mysticism and economics, and both are developing well, so she doesn't need to worry about anything.
Her body has been strengthened by Vishanti, and her energy is also very abundant. She doesn't need to worry about disease and aging, or the demons who come to her door to seek revenge. She feels like a lonely and defeated person.

But Gu Yi's state of mind has always been very stable. She did not become arrogant because of this. Instead, she felt that she should use her advantages to go deeper into the universe and pursue more knowledge and mysteries.
Although Gu Yi did not ascend to the single universe, she could still travel to other single universes through the connection with Eternity and the Eternal Temple as a transit station.
From the time she was fired until a few months ago, her life was rich and interesting. Traveling in various universes not only broadened her horizons and enriched her knowledge, but also made her more sophisticated in controlling power.
But every wanderer will have a short period of fatigue. After a journey, Gu Yi decided to return to his own universe to rest for a while, and by the way, see how the mysticism on Earth is developing, and whether Strange needs his help.
She returned to Kamar-Taj and was surprised to find that the development of magic was faster than she thought. Various magic devices were developed and the education system was more perfect.
Because of the appearance of the magic wand, more young wizards were able to learn magic more easily, which gave Gu Yi a reason to stay. Strange was busy doing business in the Sanctum Sanctorum, and someone had to take care of the students who were enrolled in Kamar-Taj.
So, during this period, Gu Yi stayed in the Himalayas, and revised Kamar-Taj's teaching materials with other great wizards who focused on education, optimized the structure of the magic wand, and participated in research.
For so many years, Gu Yi has maintained the habit of meditation, and just a few months ago, she heard a mysterious cosmic sound while meditating. The reason why she used "again" was because she remembered that she had heard this sound before.
"Answer me... Answer me..."
"Aldebaran star system, Lake Hali... Carcosa... The dark sun is already high in the sky..."
"When the stars return to their positions, when the old days return..."
"The stars return to their positions..."
"Go..."
Ancient One remembered that she had heard the same whisper a few years ago. She vaguely remembered that the other party was warning her, but the message was incoherent and Ancient One was busy with trivial matters at the time and had no time to investigate.
But after a few years, the other party came again. Considering that the time concept of this group of demon gods is different from that of humans, this can be regarded as an extremely frequent warning, and the content of the message has changed this time. He actually said "the stars have returned to their positions"?
Although Ancient One was calm most of the time, she still felt a little nervous, not because of fear, but because they were no longer barefoot.
The future of the earth and mankind is visibly bright, and Kamar-Taj is also thriving. More importantly, Ancient One herself has found the joy of traveling the universe. She believes that she can pursue a longer life and more knowledge.
Once people have concerns, it is easy to be suspicious. Ancient One is not a person who procrastinates. She is quite courageous. Didn't you provide the specific address? Then I will go and see who is behind the so-called return of the stars.
In short, Ancient One has rolled up her sleeves and is ready to beat people. No matter what the relationship is between this weird demon who sent the signal and the so-called stars, Ancient One is ready to beat them up. If one punch doesn't work, she will give them a few more punches. If she can't do it alone, she will call a few more of herself.
So, Ancient One came to the Aldebaran star system mentioned in this rumor. Aldebaran is located in Taurus and is also called α Tauri. (alpha tauri, abbreviated as α tau) is a red giant star 65 light-years away from the earth. The star system where Aldebaran is located is also called the Aldebaran star system.
65 light-years is far away for humans in the past, but it is not far for magicians at any time. Ancient One opened a portal to the top of Aldebaran and then began to look for suspicious planets in Taurus.
She did not find the so-called Lake Hali and the city of Carcosa, but she found part of the palace ruins on the surface of an asteroid, which looked like the spire of a Gothic palace, and fell headfirst on the surface of the asteroid.
Gu Yi found a very strange coordinate there. The last few digits of the coordinate pointed to the earth, but there were some prefixes in front that Gu Yi could not understand.
Realizing that something might be wrong, Gu Yi chose the simplest and crudest but most effective method, which was to find Eternity.
After seeing the coordinate, Eternity immediately told Gu Yi that the prefixes in front of the coordinate actually referred to the universe, that is, this coordinate referred to the earth in another single universe.
Gu Yi did not hide the lake, and directly told Eternity everything, and also revealed to Eternity that she planned to beat up the culprit and the stars, wanting Eternity to see if there was any danger.
This move can be said to be a direct attack on Huanglong. There is nothing in the entire multiverse that Eternity does not know. No matter how many conspiracies and tricks the mastermind has arranged, it is impossible to escape the eyes of Eternity.
And Eternity did as Gu Yi wished, closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to trace the context of the incident.
And less than a second later, he opened his eyes, and Gu Yi swore that she saw a hint of fear on Eternal's face.
Then, Eternal used extremely smooth movements to conjure up a large amount of essence energy, filled it with Gu Yi's backpack grid, caressed Gu Yi's back to send her, or rather pushed her to the door of the temple, and said:
"Do what you want to do. If you don't have enough energy, just contact me directly. I will always be your solid support."
"But remember, Ancient One, no matter what happens, tens of millions, millions, millions..."
Yongheng used several emphasized words in succession, and Gu Yi thought he was going to say some important warning, so he also turned serious and assumed an attitude of listening attentively.
But Eternal looked into Gu Yi's eyes with an extremely sincere and passionate look and said:
"...Don't say you know me!"
