Chapter 189: Vishanti and Chthon

"You must be joking, Ancient One."

Lod leaned back in his chair and rubbed the outer wall of the teacup with one hand. He stared at the tea leaves floating in the cup and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you say."

"What are you referring to?" Ancient One asked.

"Chthon."

Lod chuckled and said, "I don't believe that he didn't expect this to leave such a big flaw."

Although Ancient One's words didn't seem to be wrong, she could still hear a flaw.

Since Underworld God Chthon had torn apart the Dark Divine Book and scattered its pages all over the world, as one of the most important contingencies to return to Earth, how could he not have expected that Sorcerer Supreme would come to seek his help?

He had not forgotten...

At the last moment before Chthon left, he had taken the initiative to send the remaining dark energy into his body!

And this dark energy that Chthon had left behind, with the help of the system, transformed into the 'hollow' that was residing in his soul!

However, Lod still couldn't figure out the reason why Chthon wanted to do this.

His intuition told him that Chthon was planning a big game of chess!

So he had no time to hide, so how could he rush up to him?

Besides.

Chthon was the overlord of the multivariate universe level. Ancient One was Eternal God's little brother. These two were both big shots. He wasn't even a god father, so he would definitely not have a good ending if he were to get involved!

Looking at the experience of those seniors courting death, it was best for him to hide a little further away so that the big shots wouldn't wipe him out when they were fighting each other!

"I hope you can consider it."

Ancient One's gaze was deep as she stared at Lod and said, "Besides, even if you refuse me, do you think you can stay out of this?"

Lod raised an eyebrow, a little unconvinced. "Please enlighten me, Venerable One."

Ancient One stretched out a finger and pointed at Lod's chest. She said calmly, "From the moment you accepted Chthon's gift, you already had some sort of connection with the Darkness Divine Book."

You and the Darkness Divine Book are the 'coordinates' that Chthon left behind, just like magnets of two poles.

Even if you want to escape, it's useless. Those scattered pages will appear around you in all sorts of forms and eventually converge back into the Darkness Divine Book.

Decrypted...

It turned out that the dark energy that Chthon left in his body was actually similar to the Darkness Divine Book. They were both special coordinates that led to Earth!

Lod rubbed his swollen temples and asked, "Since that's the case, then I'll wait until the Darkness Divine Book is gathered. When the time comes, I'll let you come over and take it away."

"No!"

Ancient One shook her head and said seriously, "If we just wait passively, it will take at least eight to nine years!"

"Eight or nine years is not a long time."

Lod picked up the teacup and took a sip. He looked at Ancient One doubtfully, "With our lifespan, eight or nine years is only a blink of an eye. Venerable One, you don't even have this bit of patience, do you?"

Ancient One sighed. "I don't lack patience. In the long years, waiting is nothing to me..."

"Then why are you in such a hurry?" Lod looked straight at Ancient One and saw the anxiety and impatience in her eyes.

"I... have no time..."

Ancient One looked a little hesitant. After careful consideration, he said, "I can't tell you the specific details, but what I can tell you is that we must solve the Dark Book left by Chthon in eight years."

She was really in a hurry...

Although they had only seen each other two or three times, Lod had never seen Ancient One, who had always been indifferent and calm, show this kind of anxiety. She was simply like a terminally ill patient who wanted to do something before his death!

Wait... critically ill?

Lod's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly recalled the fragments of memories in his mind.

If he remembered correctly, it was the beginning of 2009.

The birth of Iron Man, the great battle between Hulk and New York, and the descent of Thunder God Thor, these three things all happened in the same year, and it was the starting point of all the plots in Marvel movies!

And the timeline was pushed back by 8-9 years... 2016 to 2017!

If nothing unexpected happened, that year was the birth of Dr. Strange!

Lod endured the shock in his heart. He finally understood why Ancient One was so anxious!

Because the birth of Dr. Strange meant the death of Ancient One!

"Are you..."

Just as Lod opened his mouth, he saw Ancient One shaking her head at him.

"Even if you know something, you can't say it out loud. Do you understand?" Ancient One's eyes were unusually serious as he warned her word by word.

This was both a warning and a reminder.

Lod's heart trembled. He took a deep breath and nodded. "I understand what you mean."

A smile reappeared on Ancient One's face. "Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing. I will find a way to solve the 'coordinates' that Chthon left in your body."

Lod hesitated for a moment and asked, "Venerable One, if the 'coordinates' disappears, will the dark energy left behind by Caesar also disappear?"

It was good to solve the problem of the coordinates, but the dark energy left behind by Caesar had long been transformed into the power of 'hollow' by the system. If it was solved by Sorcerer Supreme, wouldn't he suffer a great loss?

Ancient One shook her head and stared at Lod with a smile that was not a smile. She knew what he was worried about, so she comforted, "Don't worry, that dark energy won't disappear. I will only help you erase the coordinates left behind by him."

That's good...

Lod immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Looks like I have no choice but to agree."

Ancient One smiled. "You and I both know what the Infernal Deity, Chthon, means. Once he returns to Earth and his authority returns to the ancient times, no one will be able to stop him then."

"Could it be that even the Vishanti can't?" Lod asked.

"Hehe..."

Ancient One smiled and shook her head. "Whether it is Vishanti, Chthon, White Magic, or Black Magic, do you think there is any difference between them in essence?"

Lod was not stupid enough to say that the two were righteous and evil. Instead, he frowned and thought of another possibility. "What you are proud of is that they are essentially the same, and their goals are not simple?"

"Sometimes... the boundaries between black and white are not so obvious."

Ancient One sighed and said meaningfully, "Earth... is very special, so I must maintain its neutral nature. I absolutely can not let any foreign dimensions invade. This is Sorcerer Supreme's duty."

Any foreign dimension?

A very intriguing sentence seemed to point out that the purpose of the Vishanti was not simple.

"Can I take the liberty to ask?"

Lod suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Why... why do you tell me so much?"

Ancient One turned her back to Lod and was silent for a long time.

"Because... I saw the 'variable'."

After saying this inexplicable sentence, Ancient One drew a space door with one hand and stepped into it, disappearing without a trace.
