Chapter Ninety-one: The path to immortality is a road of no return, and time washes away the glory.

When the two parted, they agreed to have a good exchange on the field of magic after this battle.

Finally, the old mage hesitated for a moment and said: "Maybe I said too much - I saw that you, Master Strange, were not in a good situation during this battle - there is always a shadow hanging over you. I sincerely hope you can pay more attention to it."

After a pause, the old mage continued: "If possible, you should have some communication with the three supreme Dharma gods, Emperor Weishan..."

Hearing this, Strange's originally slightly uplifted spirit suddenly slumped, and a weak bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I understand what Master Merlin said. But...after I was injured, I communicated with the Supreme God of the Trinity. Yes, but..."

He shook his head and sighed: "It can only be suppressed, but cannot be eradicated."

"To recover, maybe we can only start with that old devil - maybe, by killing him, I can be safe and sound."

"So, you know, there's no way I can get out of this."

The old mage was silent.

He thought about how he planned to use the power of rules to fundamentally eliminate the cause of this incident, but failed in the end - even the Supreme Dharma God of the Trinity, Emperor Weishan, was helpless against this power?

"The war is right in front of us." The Supreme Mage took a deep breath: "I foresee my future, and I see a 90% probability of dying. We can no longer hold everything in our hands like before. .”

Having said this, he laughed at himself: "Even my own destiny is in the hands of others."

He turned around: "I need to suppress the injury - I hope our agreement can be fulfilled on time."

The old mage Merlin watched Strange stagger away, couldn't help but sigh, shook his head, and then turned around and left.

After Strange separated from the old mage Merlin, he seemed depressed and walked alone in a corner, as if he wanted to isolate himself from the world.

Suddenly, Banner's voice reached his ears.

"Mage Strange."

Strange turned around and saw Banner walking over.

"It seems that you are in a low mood." Banner said: "On the eve of a war, this is not a good thing."

Strange nodded and said, "What about you? Very high-spirited?"

"Maybe." Banner smiled: "Maybe it's because he has a backer?"

"Backer..." Strange's lips curled up reluctantly: "Who in this world can rely on whom?"

He turned around and squatted down, his eyes unfocused: "I foresee my ending - maybe you don't know, but I also have a backer. But this time, it's unreliable."

"oh?"

Banner became interested and squatted down side by side with him, curiously asking: "Can you tell me about it? Maybe telling you will make you feel more relaxed."

"Why not?" Strange forced a smile: "At this point, there is nothing that can't be said."

He then revealed some secrets to Banner: "I am a magician, but Mr. Banner, do you know the origin of magicians?"

Banner pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "An ancient wizard? Shaman? Or monk?"

Strange laughed so hard that he was out of breath, leaving Banner confused and confused.

After laughing for a long time, Strange smiled with a strange blush on his face, and then said: "It comes from the three supreme gods."

"Supreme Dharma God?!"

Banner's eyes widened: "Dharma God?!"

"Yes, the God of Dharma." Strange breathed out: "Ohit, Hogos, and Agamotto. The trinity of supreme Dharma Gods."

He said: "They are the oldest magicians, the origin of white magic. Most of my power comes from the three supreme gods. They are my backers. I think they will never be better than Your master is bad."

Banner was silent for a moment: "If it is a god..."

Strange ignored Banner and continued: "I was injured, you know. I summoned the power of the God of Law to communicate with them, but I couldn't be healed. Moreover, I foresaw my ending - this war, for me, For me, it’s a dead end with a mortality rate of over 90%. They can’t protect me anymore.”

"Actually, I know it very well." He seemed to be saying to himself: "For them, I, the supreme mage of the earth, am a spokesman if I say it nicely, and a puppet if I say it badly. It is of no importance. I have always Study magic, and even use the power originating from certain evil gods, trying to get rid of and transcend this control, but..."

"Can't do that, right?"

Banner couldn't help but said.

"Yes, it can't be done." Strange shook his head repeatedly: "Perhaps, we are all puppets of some people, or thugs, puppets with strings. Weishan Emperor, the trinity of Dharma gods, is like this to me. I think your master, or Taiyi Sect, is the same to you."

"No, you're wrong."

Banner immediately categorically denied: "Mr. Master, you don't understand Taiyi Sect, you don't understand us, and you don't know our cultivation system. Our strength is not given by anyone, it comes from our own hard work. Master has never given us As a puppet or a thug, I know that."

"Really?" There was a hint of ridicule in Strange's tone: "In that case, why didn't he come in person this time, but sent you here? Doesn't he know that facing the Chihun Tai Wuyuan Demon Lord? , are you in danger? He doesn't care about your life or death at all. Banner, each of us must live for ourselves - we are free. When I understood this sentence, you saw it, it was too late .”

"If I didn't become a magician and the spokesperson of the three supreme gods of Emperor Weishan, I would have lived an ordinary life peacefully. But now, I can foresee my death with my own eyes. How frustrating it is. And pain, you know?”

"Death is getting closer and closer, Banner, you can't understand my pain."

Banner was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I still don't agree with your statement. I don't think this should be the idea of ​​a magician who is known for his rationality. In this world, whether ordinary people or extraordinary people, it is necessary to To get, you have to give.”

"Ordinary people want to live a good life, they need to study hard and work hard. Extraordinary people also have to pay a price to gain power. Or like you, become a puppet in your mouth, a marionette. Or like me, practice diligently Practice hard and devote your life to it. This depends on your own choice. Choose to be an ordinary person, live a plain life, and be bound by various constraints. If you choose to become an extraordinary person, you must become the spokesperson of a certain existence or a certain force, or work hard to practice. I devote most of my time to it. However, if you choose to be an ordinary person, the opportunity is absolute. But if you choose to become an extraordinary person, the opportunity is rare."

He looked at the mage in front of him: "In the final analysis, when you chose to become a magician, it was your own decision. Everything you have now is due to your own choice. But now, you are complaining. You Why don't you think about why you chose to become a mage in the first place? Do you regret it?"

He sneered: "This is the price you have to pay to gain strength and get rid of many constraints. In fact, ordinary people are also puppets and marionettes. Those upper-class people and officials are manipulating the fate of ordinary people all the time. .”

When he said this, he stood up: "My master said that freedom is relative. Only by transcending this multiverse can we break away from all the constraints. And this is also the ultimate goal of our immortal cultivation. The immortal way is a point of no return, there is no The opportunity to turn back is the price of gaining strength and the opportunity to transcend all constraints. I gladly accept it."

"I can see different scenery and experience things that others can't even imagine. This is a kind of fun." Banner laughed: "As for death, unless you are truly transcendent, who can say that you will not die? Since it is inevitable , why bother with this?"

"hehe..."

The Supreme Mage Strange laughed so strangely that Banner couldn't see the meaning behind his smile.

But then I heard the mage say: "I know you, Bruce Banner. You have power that you can't control, and you hate it. Because of it, the military hunts you down, leaving you with no peace of mind for a moment, and letting you flee endlessly. You can't even be intimate with your woman. At one point, you longed to destroy him. But now, tell me, it's a 'different scenery'!? Then, you can tell me, what makes you think, Produced a reversal of subversion? Is it your backer, are you the master? Because of him, the military no longer hunts you, because of him, you can meet your girlfriend at any time, because of him, you can see your girlfriend Is it possible to be intimate? Because of him, you can be safe and sound?!"

Banner did not feel dissatisfied: "Of course." He answered seriously: "Because this is what I want, I need them, so I changed because of it. I got what I wanted, and I have no regrets, so, I I am grateful to my master, and grateful to him for guiding me to a path beyond imagination. Unlike you, as a member of the sect, I have a sense of belonging, because only in the sect can there be peace and peace of mind. .I am willing to give whatever I can to the sect."

Having said this, he paused and said with a smile: "Perhaps, among the nine senior brothers, there are only two or three who are like me. Second senior brother Tianyang Peter, seventh senior sister Tianxuan Cindy, maybe There is also an eighth senior brother Tiandu Luogen. Of course, he may be worse. My second senior brother is the second disciple accepted by the master, but in fact we all know that he is the closest to the master, even his Relatives, Ben and Mei, both work in the sect. Senior sister Cindy likes to practice from the bottom of her heart, and perhaps she is most happy with the sect’s environment. Senior brother Luo Gen is a rootless person, but the sect I gave him a root. But because he wanted to find what he lost, he left the sect early. I think that when he finds what he lost, he will come back and regard the sect as his true home. "

"As for other senior brothers and sisters, they may be rich men, agents, superheroes, etc., the situation is fundamentally different. They have their own affiliations and may not be 100% loyal to the sect. However, I think Master knows."

"Perhaps..." he hesitated: "The deeper I know about my sect, the more I feel that such an existence is incredible. Every time we break through a realm in cultivation, it is a sublimation of the essence of life. Our lifespan It will get longer and longer. Maybe ten or fifty years later, other brothers and sisters will still be very concerned about their original identities, outside world properties, and relatives. But what about after five hundred or one thousand years? They will only Belong to the sect. Because relatives who cannot practice will pass away and be forgotten, and those who can practice will definitely join the sect. And industry, rich status, and superheroes may be nothing by that time."
