A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 27 I'm so tired, okay?
The recall scroll that Li Wei used wasn't anchored anywhere else; it was directly in his own bedroom.

After returning home, Li Wei didn't go anywhere and continued to stare blankly at the ring.

He pondered what the Ancient One really meant by this.
Ugh, riddle tellers are so annoying.

Does this mean I should use the slingshot to open the door and see her?

Shouldn't they send someone to pick me up?

He doesn't know portal magic, nor does he know which way the portals in Kamar-Taj open.

Wait a minute... he seems to actually know.

Although he had never been there, the location of Kamar-Taj and some of its scenes were still vivid in his mind.

As for the portal spell, isn't it just drawing circles?

Images flashed through Li Wei's mind: the Kamar-Taj sorcerers opening portals, Strange learning how to use teleportation, and even Spider-Man's chubby friend, Ned Liz.

Especially Ned Liz, that kid casually opened a portal and brought Spider-Men from other multiverses with him—although it was Spider-Man and Doctor Strange's actions that caused the multiverse barrier to be broken, it was still quite outrageous.

I shouldn't be worse than that chubby kid, right?
Li Wei pondered.

So he put on the sling ring, and then, imagining the scene of Kamar-Taj in his mind, began to gesture.

Then, accompanied by a flash of magical sparks.

The portal has indeed been opened.

Swallowing hard, Li Wei looked into the teleportation portal.

There sat the Ancient One in the center of the hall on the other side of the portal, leisurely brewing tea—the same hall where Strange first met the Ancient One in Kamar-Taj, and the place Levi had envisioned when he opened the portal.

The Ancient One showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of the portal; she even smiled and nodded to Li Wei on the other side of the portal.

Just as Li Wei had suspected, the purpose of the ring she gave Li Wei was to let him open the door to Kamar-Taj himself.

Taking a deep breath, with a slightly uneasy feeling, Li Wei stepped into the portal.

"Sit down!" After passing through the portal and arriving in the hall, the Ancient One gestured for Li Wei to sit down and then made him a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" Li Wei sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a small sip of tea.

Then silence fell over the hall.

"Don't you have anything to say?" In the end, it was the Ancient One who broke the silence first, smiling as she looked at Li Wei and asked.

“You know all this, don’t you?” Li Wei replied.

“I know far too much. What are you referring to?” Ancient One.

"My origins?" Li Wei asked tentatively.

“Yes!” Gu nodded.

"Can you take me back?" Li Wei asked excitedly.

"Sorry, I can't do it!" Gu Yi shook her head.

"Why... since you know my origins, why can't you send me back? You are the Sorcerer Supreme, someone who can travel through infinite universes!" Li Wei asked somewhat unwillingly.

“That’s right, but as you know, what I mean by being able to travel through infinite universes is only the infinite universe created by His Highness Eternity, isn’t it? Your universe is outside of our infinite universe, which is not a realm I can reach—in a way, I am just like you in the past, just a hardworking worker,” the Ancient One sighed.

Eternity is the creator of the Marvel Infinite Universe.

"...Is there really no way at all?" Although he had expected this answer, Li Wei was still somewhat unwilling to give up.

“There is still a way!” Gu Yi said. “Oh? What way?” Li Wei immediately straightened up and asked excitedly.

"Reaching a level that satisfies His Highness Eternal, or even surpassing His Highness Eternal, is sufficient!" Gu Yi replied, taking a sip of tea.

"What would it take to satisfy His Highness Eternity?" Li Wei asked, regarding the latter option that Gu Yi mentioned?

It's in vain to ask.

If Gu Yi had known, she would have done it already. Why would she be a wage earner?
“I don’t know!” Gu Yi answered decisively.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei instantly lost his energy and spirit.

You don't know what you're talking about?
"Forget it, let's just take it as it comes..." Li Wei took a sip of tea, slumped in his chair, and looked like a salted fish that had lost its dreams.

"Isn't life just about getting by?" Gu Yi smiled slightly upon seeing this and sighed with a serious expression.

"But I feel like you're quite familiar with a transmigrator like me?" Li Wei asked again. "Have you met other transmigrators before?"

“Yes, I’ve seen a few! But not from our universe!” Gu Yi nodded.

"Oh? In which universes are they? How are they now?" Li Wei's interest was piqued again upon hearing this.

“They’re all dead!” Gu Yi’s words struck Li Wei like a thunderbolt.

"Don't misunderstand, most of them actually died of old age. However, after they died, their universes were completely separated from the multiverse by His Holiness the Eternal, so you can't go to those universes," the Ancient One explained.

"So, there were still a few who died tragically?" Li Wei raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"Yes, but such people make up a very small percentage. After all, you transmigrators all have some special abilities, and as long as you don't do anything reckless, it's not easy for you to die." Gu Yi did not deny it and pointed out that transmigrators basically all have cheat abilities.

"So these kinds of people all brought this upon themselves? What did they do?" Li Wei was a little curious about how these colleagues had died.

"Well, I learned most of it from chatting with my counterparts from other universes. For example, one of them went straight to Thanos, wanting to share the universe with him, and then Thanos cut him in two."

"Another one is that he was perhaps too confident in his charm. He approached Hela, wanting her to submit to him and become his wife. Then Hela turned him into an undead soldier."

"There's another one similar to this, but instead of Hela, he went for Wanda the Scarlet Witch. He was initially successful, even having several children with Wanda, but then he cheated on her... and then, things turned out pretty bad!"

Listen to the Ancient One slowly recount the various ways her foolish predecessors died.

Li Wei suddenly felt a toothache.

Because he had actually coveted Wanda, the Scarlet Witch, before, after all, her figure and looks are among the best in the entire Marvel Universe.

But now it seems the risks are quite high.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; there aren't many kind-hearted female superheroes in the Marvel Universe.

If you want to build a harem in this world, you'd better see if you can withstand a lot of damage first.

"Speaking of which, with so many transmigrators arriving in your infinite universe, neither His Highness Eternal nor you care?" Li Wei decisively ended the topic and then asked the Ancient One.

"Why should we care? Apart from a few special cases, most time travelers, like you, are permitted by His Highness Eternity." Ancient One gave an answer that surprised Li Wei.

"Perpetuity allows it? Why?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.

"That's beyond my comprehension. Perhaps this is just a game played by the supreme deity?" Ancient One shrugged.

“No wonder you’re so indifferent to my affairs,” Li Wei said. Indeed, who could guess the thoughts of a supreme deity at the level of eternity?

“It’s not that I completely ignore it… I can’t be bothered with anything else, but next time you’re leaking information about the future to someone, could you please not use me as a scapegoat?” At this point, the Ancient One revealed the true purpose of bringing Levi to Kamar-Taj.

"I'm already so busy and tired, and every time you mention me, it's like an alarm clock ringing in my ear, it's so annoying, okay?"
