Oshtur

At this moment, Lin Xu finally understood why Agamotto had sent him to this universe!

Because the person before them was none other than Oshtur, one of the Vishanti.

Moreover, Oshtur is currently in a volatile and unstable state, existing between illusion and reality.

Considering the universe of Agamotto, the two should have had similar experiences, except that Oshtur was even worse.

Without external intervention, Logan will die, the world will be destroyed, and Oshtur, existing between illusion and reality, will also be lifeless.

Did he say anything?

"Alright, get lost!"

"What?"

"Ahem, that was the last thing he said to me..."

"Hehe~" Oshtur chuckled lightly, "It seems you two have a pretty good relationship."

"Um... Auntie~" After thinking it over, Lin Xu chose a seemingly affectionate form of address.

Oshtur: "..."Aren't you and my son getting a little too close?

"What is your current situation?"

"Twenty thousand years ago, a phantom of a phoenix appeared in the Multiverse."

"If it were just a phantom, it shouldn't be this bad, right?"

"That's right, just a phantom clone. The three of us were preparing to seal it, but unexpectedly, we touched its multiple entities when we tried to seal it..."

After saying this, Oshtur fell silent, and Lin Xu also fell silent.

The Phoenix Force, born at the beginning of all things, is Eternity and ever-changing. It is the embodiment of life and Mind Stone power. If the six Infinity Stones are the sons of the universe, then the Phoenix Force is the universe's beloved daughter. Moreover, this daughter has a physical form, and in the many Multiverses, they are merely its avatars.

These three people are so unlucky...

"Hoggoth is dead, Agamotto has turned back into a teardrop, and I've been cast into the illusion. Decades ago, I watched helplessly as that little wolverine implanted Universal Anchor into his body..."

"Subsequently, the timeline of the universe was also captured by some force..."

"I thought I would perish along with the universe, but unexpectedly, he from another universe sent you here. Child, you did a great job."

Lin Xu felt a little guilty. In truth, if he hadn't encountered Deadpool and discovered that this universe might not last more than a few thousand years, he probably wouldn't have intervened at all...

So what are you planning to do now?

"In six months, I will return from the illusion to reality, and then I will try to extract the Anchor from the little wolverine's body."

"Huh? It can still be pulled out?"

Everything in the universe follows certain laws; what can enter can also exit!

"Awesome!"

Before Lin Xu could finish his flattery, Oshtur continued, "At that time, I might die..."

"..."

"The causal implications of reversing time are too great for the little wolverine to grasp. He used his willpower to transfer the causal link to the universe, but I will attribute the causal link to myself."

"I was born from all things, so what's wrong with dying from all things?"

Hearing this, Lin Xu fell silent. From beginning to end, everything he did was for himself, whether it was to become stronger or to save others.

"I'm doing this for myself too."

Lin Xu: I really want to fight you mind readers.

Oshtur smiled faintly, "I would be very sad if the universe were to be destroyed, so I chose to die in order to avoid being so sad."

What do you need me to do?

"I know you will eventually leave, but the legacy of White Magic in this world must not be broken. Help me find a successor!"

"This..."

"He doesn't need to be exceptionally talented, just steady and reliable. You just need to help me find such a person and mentor him. I trust your judgment!"

As she spoke, Oshtur reached out, and a frozen teardrop appeared in her hand.

"A million years ago, I felt the sorrow of all living beings and shed two tears. One of them became Agamotto, and the other has remained to this day. Today, I give it to you."

As soon as Oshtur finished speaking, a tear flew onto Lin Xu's forehead, merging into it and turning into a faint tear stain, which quickly disappeared.

Lin Xu touched his forehead, somewhat lost in thought as he felt its effects.

It can see through falsehoods, distinguish truth from falsehood, discern good from evil, automatically protect its master, and launch laser attacks...

The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade was originally just for show; how did it end up with a third eye? Is it really evolving into Erlang Shen)?

And their functions are exactly the same?

What else is there to say? He's just a successor of White Magic, go find him!

"Very good!" Oshtur smiled sarcastically and disappeared.

"Erlang Shen, is it? See you in six months!"

Mount Everest North Base Camp.

"Lin Xu!! You're sleeping in again, you bastard!"

A large hand suddenly ripped open the tent.

"Don't make a sound, let me sleep a little longer."

Lin Xu pulled his sleeping bag tighter and rolled over. "Besides, I'm training, aren't I?"

"You've been here for a month, and your training plan is still not up to par. Do you even want to reach the summit?"

"Hey, what's the rush? There's still over a month until the window opens."

"With your attitude, even another year wouldn't be enough!"

The person who came was clearly angered by Lin Xu, and directly pulled Lin Xu out of the sleeping bag.

"Hey~ hey, hey? Lao Wang, wait, I'm not wearing pants!"

Lao Wang was clearly stunned by Lin Xu's words. He took out the thermometer and looked at the -4℃ displayed on it. That's right, it was below zero.

"Holy crap, you spent the whole night here wrapped in a sleeping bag?"

"Haha, how about that? I can spend the night here without pants, but I can wear pants and spend the night on the mountain. I told you, this is also part of the training."

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside. You have three minutes." Lao Wang looked at Lin Xu suspiciously before turning and leaving the tent.

Lin Xu stretched and watched Lao Wang leave, then smiled.

That's right, this Lao Wang is our great Sorcerer Supreme Wang, except in this universe, he's just a guide and instructor on Mount Everest.

Lin Xu went to great lengths to find him.

After getting dressed, Lin Xu stepped out of the tent and joined the training team.

Lao Wang only spoke after seeing Lin Xu.

"I think everyone is familiar with the equipment and glacier climbing. Today we will do an acclimatization march, which is a relatively easy task. We are currently at 5200 meters, and our goal is the 5800-meter camp. After reaching it, we will rest briefly and return here before dark."

"If anyone experiences exhaustion, dizziness, or weakness in their legs along the way, report it to me and Instructor Liu immediately. This is no joke; a slight mistake could be Deadman!"

Seeing Lao Wang's serious expression, Lin Xu nodded. It seemed that Lao Wang could do a decent job in any industry.

"I'm talking to you, Lin Xu, did you hear me?"

"Reporting to Instructor Wang, I heard you clearly."

"Hmph, better that! To be honest, I'm really looking forward to your performance."

Lin Xu looked back at the distant mountain peaks, oh, the snow-capped mountains, how he missed them!

I have a bit of a cold and overslept...
