Chapter 046 Do You Blame Me For Being Too Strong?

Luo Bai felt a bit helpless.

He couldn't stand Stark saying such things, so he remained silent.

Fortunately, with the problem resolved, Stark was now eager to leave.

"That said, thank you very much for today. Your suggestions have given me great inspiration. I plan to go back and make a new upgrade to the suit now!" Stark said excitedly.

Luo Bai understood his urgency and nodded. "Go ahead."

Stark didn't hesitate and left immediately.

After he left, Luo Bai stretched and planned to continue his studies in his room.

Just then, Polaris came out.

"Why did you come out?" Luo Bai asked, a little curious.

Polaris pointed to the clock on the wall and replied, "It's dinner time. I came out to see what you want to eat."

Luo Bai glanced at the time and realized it was true.

But he wasn't hungry.

This was mainly because his training this month had been very effective.

The power of the soul made it almost impossible for Luo Bai to feel hungry anymore. His strength had increased significantly, allowing him to surpass the physiological needs of ordinary humans.

He was no longer dependent on food or diet to survive or enhance his abilities.

In fact, Luo Bai had already reduced his dependence before; now he was basically in a state of complete independence from food.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai explained, "I'm not very hungry. If you want to eat, you can go buy something yourself. By the way, the money is in the box Natasha Romanoff sent. You can get it yourself."

Seeing him going upstairs again, Polaris asked, "Are you going up to practice magic again?"

"Yes. As before, please don't let anyone disturb me," Luo Bai reminded her.

Polaris nodded and replied, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't let anyone disturb you."

Polaris had always done well, so Luo Bai felt very reassured.

Without further conversation, he went up to the second floor and started his multiverse journey again.

This trip was much easier than the last.

Luo Bai sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

His soul easily entered the multiverse.

Although it seemed that Luo Bai could delve deeper, he didn't dare to proceed rashly, considering the many powerful beings that existed in the multiverse.

After quietly absorbing the energy of the multiverse for a while, Luo Bai suddenly saw... the Ancient One???

No, more accurately, it was the soul of the Ancient One.

Apparently, the Ancient One had noticed him too.

"Supreme Mage, what a coincidence..." Luo Bai greeted.

Ancient One: "...???"

She didn't answer but looked surprised.

After a while, she finally came back to her senses and asked, "Are you able to do this?"

Although they hadn't seen each other for a month, Luo Bai's talent had probably allowed him to master most of the magic.

However, the Ancient One never expected that he would be able to achieve soul travel so quickly.

No, it was too exaggerated.

How long had he been learning magic? His soul had already traveled here?

No wonder the Ancient One was a bit confused at this moment.

Luo Bai remained calm and explained, "I think your suggestion was correct. Only a sufficiently strong soul can fight against dark powers, so I've been training my soul recently."

Ancient One: "..."

You must know that even the Ancient One herself had spent a lot of time completing soul travel.

But Luo Bai could easily accomplish it within a month.

At this moment, the Ancient One felt it might be time for her to retire.

Thinking of this, she asked, "How is your mastery of time magic?"

"I have basically understood the concepts of time as taught by the Supreme Masters of previous generations. However, I'm still trying to grasp the Time Stone," Luo Bai explained.

The Time Stone contains immense power and mysteries of the universe, making it difficult to comprehend in a short time.

It has taken generations of Supreme Mages to fully understand it, so it's normal for Luo Bai to be unable to grasp it just yet.

But being able to penetrate the understanding of the Supreme Mages is already quite impressive.

Thinking of this, the Ancient One asked again, "So, are you planning to learn the Book of Darkness?"

"I have that plan, but I probably won't touch it just yet," Luo Bai replied.

The Ancient One nodded and said, "I'm glad to see you have fully adapted to the role of a mage and are already planning your future. I see great potential in you."

Luo Bai smiled and responded, "Actually, I thought, Supreme Mage, that you would discourage me from learning the Book of Darkness, but you didn't."

The Ancient One chuckled and said, "Sometimes people break the rules in pursuit of what they believe are higher ideals. You are not the first to break those rules."

Luo Bai was taken aback.

Before he could speak, the Ancient One continued, "I don't want to draw energy from dark space, but sometimes we have no choice."

This statement... indicated the Ancient One's admission of having obtained power from dark space.

Although Luo Bai knew about this, he didn't expect the Ancient One to tell him voluntarily.

Since she had prohibited other mages from absorbing dark power, she had never shared this with anyone. It was surprising that she chose to disclose it today.

Luo Bai asked in surprise, "Why did you tell me this?"

The Ancient One replied, "Because you are adaptable, while most people in Kama Taj struggle with flexibility. Master Modu is quite rigid; his stubbornness may eventually lead him to extremes."

This was a reminder, and Luo Bai understood it.

However, he didn't know why the Ancient One suddenly said such things; it sounded as if she was explaining something important.

"Do you know Domu?" Just as he pondered this, the Ancient One suddenly asked.

Luo Bai nodded and replied, "Yes. There are records about him in the books; he is the ruler of the dark dimension."

"He gave up his physical form to become the ruler of the dark dimension. He has always wanted to devour the planet and turn the entire universe into a dark dimension, including Earth. Thus, the mages on Earth are fighting against him."

"Domu is very powerful, which is why I had to draw power from dark space to prolong my lifespan to deal with him. Although we have stopped him from invading Earth multiple times, we can't truly kill Domu."

The Ancient One said.

In fact, Luo Bai knew that Domu was indeed quite formidable.

"If you want to kill him, maybe you have to destroy the entire dark dimension," Luo Bai said half-jokingly.

Destroying the entire dark dimension is a challenging hypothetical.

It could even be considered a dream, which made the Ancient One half-jokingly respond, "If you can do that, I would be proud of you."

Luo Bai: "...At this point, it seems impossible."

"Your future holds limitless possibilities, so you must believe in yourself," the Ancient One encouraged.

Luo Bai fell silent.

Although he believed in the boundless possibilities of his future, it still felt premature for him to think he could defeat Domu.

Reflecting on this, Luo Bai couldn't help but complain, "At the very least, you should wait for me to develop for a while."

At that moment, the Ancient One suddenly said with a serious expression, "I think you may not have much time to develop because I don't have much time left. I fear I may not survive much longer."

Luo Bai was stunned and asked in surprise, "Supreme Mage, what do you mean by that?"

The Ancient One replied calmly, "I mean, you may have to face everything on your own from now on."

Facing everything alone?

Luo Bai understood completely.

The Ancient One was planning to retire?

But that shouldn't be the case.

"Supreme Mage, this timeline is wrong. You shouldn't leave at this time," Luo Bai insisted.

The Ancient One smiled and replied seriously, "From the moment you arrived, the universe has changed. Haven't you noticed that the timeline has been rewritten long ago? You are an exception—not just among mages, but in the entire universe."

"You learned too quickly; my existence no longer holds any meaning."

"Do you think I am prepared to face death? You'll see how much I wish to extend this moment indefinitely, but my lifespan was originally stolen, and your growth signifies that it's time for me to leave."

Luo Bai: "..."

Ah, this... is it because I am too strong?
