Chapter 967 Gu 1’s choice
When Strange stepped into a deep and narrow alley, he saw a shabby yard that seemed to have been forgotten by the years. He stood in front of the door, looking at the old wooden door covered with traces, and he could not help but hesitate. However, this hesitation did not last long. He mustered up his courage, knocked on the door gently, and called out loudly, hoping that someone would answer.
At the same time, in the dilapidated wooden door, in Kamar-Taj, which was expanded by space magic, in the hall of the Supreme Sorcerer, the Ancient One was sitting on the throne, gently holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand. Her eyes seemed to penetrate the boundaries of space and penetrated directly to the hidden wooden door of Kamar-Taj in the mortal world. When Strange's call came faintly, the Ancient One gently placed the teacup on the table, and a mysterious smile inadvertently appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Why when Strange was about to fall into despair, a black guy happened to come up to him and tell him about someone who was recovered from his disability due to some magical power? Why after landing in a foreign land, Strange was able to arrive at the gate of Kamar-Taj accurately with the help of many passers-by.
In fact, these coincidences were achieved by the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One using his own power to arrange a series of "coincidences". All of this was designed by Ancient One.
Of course, Strange's car accident was not designed by the Ancient One. Although she was responsible for finding the successor to the Sorcerer Supreme, she would never resort to such means. The car accident was just a disaster destined for Strange, an inevitable turning point in his life.
In addition, Strange is also the candidate for the Supreme Sorcerer designated by Ancient One.
Ancient One had seen Strange's future in the torrent of time. Through the power of the Time Stone, she saw countless possible destiny lines, one of which clearly pointed to Strange's future as the Sorcerer Supreme. She knew that this proud and stubborn surgeon would eventually put aside his arrogance and embark on a brand new path, a path to protect the earth and explore infinite possibilities.
However, the future shown by the Time Stone is not the only one. Ancient One also glimpsed other possibilities: Tony Stark, the genius who changed the world with technology, was once a candidate for the Sorcerer Supreme; her favorite student Mordo also took over the mantle of the Sorcerer Supreme in some timelines she foresaw. But after careful consideration, Ancient One finally chose Strange. She believed that Strange's wisdom, persistence and desire for the unknown made him the most suitable successor.
So, Gu Yi began to wait patiently, waiting for Strange's fate to reach that critical turning point.
However, just as Gu Yi was quietly waiting, an unexpected variable appeared. A person who was completely out of his destiny suddenly broke into this world. This person was like an unpredictable shadow, and even the Time Stone could not glimpse his future. His appearance was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up countless ripples. The originally clear line of fate began to become blurred, the future became unpredictable, and even Gu Yi could no longer see the end.
The emergence of this variable made Ancient One feel unprecedentedly uneasy. She thought she had seen through everything, but now the future has become confusing. She doesn't know what impact this mysterious existence will have on Strange's fate, nor does she know whether her carefully designed plan will be disrupted.
Therefore, Ancient One decided to get involved personally and contact the being who broke the calmness of the timeline and caused ripples like a stone thrown into a lake, that is, Noah.
The subsequent story is about Ancient One's encounter with Noah and a series of complicated events. Ancient One is keenly aware of the huge potential that Noah possesses, a power that is enough to shake the foundation of the entire universe. This is the conclusion she inferred from the vague images of certain future timelines. Although she cannot directly peek into Noah's future trajectory, she can capture Noah's looming figure from the future scenes of other individuals, as well as the series of chain reactions and far-reaching impacts he has caused.
She had also thought about giving the position of the Sorcerer Supreme to Noah. With Noah's strength and talent, he was more than qualified for the position. Noah was also collecting Infinity Stones. As long as Ancient One could attract Noah by offering the opportunity to obtain the Time Stone by becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, Noah might agree.
However, after careful consideration, Ancient One finally chose to give up this idea. The Supreme Sorcerer's duties are indeed heavy. Not only must he ensure the peace of the earth and guard against the invasion of dimensional demons, but he must also deal with those dimensional creatures that enter the earth in various ways. This is only the most important of his many responsibilities. In addition, the Supreme Sorcerer also needs to be in charge of many trivial affairs of Kamar-Taj, from major events to minor details.
After knowing Noah for so long, Ancient One had a deep understanding of his character. She was convinced that if all these complicated requirements were presented to Noah, he would never easily accept the position of Supreme Sorcerer.
Therefore, after a long period of inner struggle and weighing the pros and cons, the Ancient One finally decided to refocus her attention on the direction that had already been determined, that is, to let Strange inherit the position of the Supreme Sorcerer. After all, Strange was about to reach the turning point of his fate. It was a car accident that would completely change his life and was also a key step in his selection as the successor to the Supreme Sorcerer.
As for the Time Stone, Master Ancient One knew very well that this stone, which contained infinite power, was indispensable to Noah. Noah already had three Infinity Stones, and their power was strong enough to make the entire universe tremble.
The reason why he didn't take action on the Time Stone was because of his deep friendship with the Ancient One. Otherwise, with Noah's strength, if he really wanted to forcibly seize the Time Stone, then the Ancient One and the entire Kamar-Taj would face an unprecedented threat, and they would probably be powerless to stop him.
After making the decision in his heart, as Strange's destiny was on track, the Ancient One began to gradually exert her power, subtly guiding Strange towards Kamar-Taj.
The black youth was actually a member of Kamar-Taj. He followed the instructions of the Ancient One and went to reveal information about the mysterious power to Strange. After Strange arrived at Kamar-Taj, the information provided by the passers-by he asked was all carefully arranged under the influence of the magic of the Ancient One. Because of this, Strange was able to reach Kamar-Taj so smoothly.
