Lin Luo looked at Dormammu, squatted down, and patted Dormammu's shoulder comfortingly.
He laughed, "Little Dormammu, can we relax and chat now?"
"You..." Dormammu stiffly raised his head, asking with extreme resentment and confusion, "How did you do that?"
"It's scientific stuff, don't ask too much. You wouldn't understand even if I told you," Lin Luo replied teasingly.
Dormammu looked directly into Lin Luo's eyes, seeing his smiling, amiable demeanor, and realizing he had no intention of punishing him, the loser. His anger instantly turned into pure confusion.
Winning without being arrogant or uttering threats—such a powerful individual was worthy of respect.
"So... why?" Dormammu asked, questioning his reality. "You clearly have the means to crush the Dark Dimension, so why did you still come for me? I don't understand!"
"This is because you are very crucial."
Lin Luo stood up and extended an invitation, "Get up. I'll take you to see something interesting. After you see it, your attitude might change."
"See what?" Dormammu staggered to his feet. He tried to reconnect with the Dark Dimension and then was surprised to find that the Dark Dimension had not cut off its connection with him.
The Lord's authority was still with him, but he could no longer freely summon power as before.
This meant that if someone were to rush in and kill him now, they could seize the authority of the Dark Dimension and become the new ruler of the Dark Dimension.
Human technology?
After so many years away from the ordinary World, humans had evolved to such a height.
"Wait a moment." Lin Luo turned to look at the Ancient One. "Sorcerer Supreme, are you interested in coming along?"
"I'd be delighted." The Ancient One wiped away her cold sweat and replied with a smile.
She casually removed her spell and floated over to Lin Luo and Dormammu.
Snap—!
Lin Luo then snapped his fingers.
A white pillar of light enveloped the three, soaring into the sky, its dazzling radiance illuminating the entire Dark Dimension.
The edge of the World... infinitely diverse, above the space of the Great Universe.
Lin Luo, the Ancient One, and Dormammu appeared out of thin air in the void.
The three gazed at this vast space.
Before them was a chaotic expanse, and behind them were countless gigantic crystal spheres connected together.
These spheres looked small in volume, but each one was a Universe with infinite space!
The Ancient One and Dormammu knew that behind them was their World.
They focused intently on what was before them, trying hard to see the World outside, but a barrier in the chaos separated the inside from the outside.
The Ancient One frowned gravely and asked, "Beyond the chaos is..."
Lin Luo replied calmly, "Beyond the circle, an unfathomable place."
...Back in the Dark Dimension.
The Ancient One and Dormammu, these former mortal enemies, now stood side by side, their gazes blank and lost in thought.
Because of their previous extreme shock, this time they weren't as surprised; instead, they focused on contemplating and processing what they had just seen.
Lin Luo gave them a little time to adjust, then leisurely walked back to Catwoman and Natasha.
He draped his arms over their shoulders, embracing both.
Beside him, Guardian Wang looked at Lin Luo, terrified, and instinctively stepped back.
In contrast, Mordo's demeanor suggested he had come to terms with everything, no longer stubborn, and proactively asked, "You, who have trampled upon the laws of nature, what can you bring to this World?"
Lin Luo turned his face and asked, "Are you asking me?"
"Yes," Mordo nodded.
Lin Luo thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure what I can bring, but I can confirm that blindly following nature will only lead to destruction. Isn't the evolution of life a struggle against nature?"
"One day in the future... the ordinary World will also possess means that transcend nature, so, here's a suggestion for you..."
"Don't force your beliefs on others. If you want to stand still, and others want to move forward, don't help, at least don't hold them back."
After speaking, Lin Luo no longer paid attention.
He had advised him; if Mordo were to turn dark again, then the Ancient One could clean up her own mess.
Mordo took Lin Luo's words to heart, every single one.
He covered his face with his hands, weeping bitterly.
Having lived for only a little over a decade, he hadn't experienced great storms, and his mental resilience was far inferior to the Ancient One's.
However, this crying signified a new evolution.
After wiping away his tears, the new ideal he set would be even firmer than before.
One minute passed.
Lin Luo saw that the Ancient One and Dormammu were still dazed and interrupted, "That's enough, you two. If you don't snap out of it, we'll just leave, and you can form a CP here and have a child."
"???"
Upon hearing this, the Ancient One and Dormammu instantly snapped back to reality.
They exchanged glances, and both their eyes held an indescribable look of disgust.
Dormammu's body slowly became ethereal; through dark magic, there were signs of him transforming back into the Dimension Lord.
He turned to Lin Luo and said, "I can help you extract the Dark Dimension's energy, but there's one small condition."
"Once we break through that barrier, let me glimpse that unfathomable place."
"No problem." Lin Luo agreed without hesitation.
The Ancient One flew directly back to Lin Luo's side, moving her hands rapidly to cast a spell, forming a half-dark, half-golden talisman.
"This is what you wanted, the fusion spell of dark magic and white magic. As for... my request is the same as Dormammu's, but with one more small request."
Lin Luo unceremoniously took the spell, put it into his spatial pocket, and said, "You tell me."
The Ancient One smiled and said, "Does your organization still accept new members? What do you think of me?"
Guardian Wang: "!!!"
Mordo: "!!!"
"Teacher, you..." Mordo and Wang wanted to speak up and dissuade her.
The Ancient One waved her hand, interrupting them, and quietly awaited Lin Luo's reply.
The Dark Dimension no longer posed a threat to Earth, and the Sorcerer Supreme should also do something she was interested in.
"It is possible." Lin Luo sized up the Ancient One and replied, "How about you find a suitable successor, and then report to my people?"
"Then it's settled."
The Ancient One got the answer she wanted, as if afraid Lin Luo would go back on his word, and immediately opened a magical portal to the ordinary World.
"Please."
...Returning to the ordinary World.
"I have other matters to attend to. Perhaps we'll meet again in the future."
After bidding farewell to the Ancient One, Lin Luo intended to leave with Natasha and Catwoman.
He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly noticed a thin old man in the corner, with his back to him, diligently sweeping the floor. The yellow vest + white shirt attire... He then walked back.
"Wait! You're Lao... Lao Cheng!"
Hearing the address, the old man was visibly stunned, and his shoulders slumped in resignation.
"Oh dear! You still found me."
The old man chuckled and turned around, pushing up the small glasses on his nose. "It's been over twenty years, and you're still so young, BOSS—uh, no... Father, I should call you Mr. Lin now."
Yes, that's right.
This was none other than Lao Cheng from "Jackie Chan Adventures"!
A former MIB Special Agent, he had voluntarily chosen to retire before Lin Luo fell into slumber...,
