The Truth? (Part 1)

Xia Yu sat down next to Old Master Li as instructed, and listened as the old man slowly began his story.

Unlike the previous times the two had met, the old man always spoke only a few words.

The meaning was vague, but this time the old man didn't hold back at all, and one sentence almost killed Xia Yu.

"When you time-traveled, did you tear up an advertising flyer near your house and then receive the text message?"

After finishing speaking, ignoring Xia Yu's surprise, she waved her hand, indicating that Xia Yu had questions and would talk about them later, and then began to talk to Xia Yu about this world.

Stan Lee is the Stan Lee that Xia Yu knew in his previous life, the author of most of the comics in the Marvel Universe.

And it all started when the old man passed away.

After the old man passed away, a wisp of his consciousness drifted in the air. He went to see many people he hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to, and places he hadn't had a chance to properly visit.

This sliver of consciousness grew weaker and weaker with the passage of time, and if nothing unexpected happened, it should disappear completely in the near future.

However, as the old man's consciousness blurred, a force directly pulled him into an unknown space.

There were countless tiny points of light there.

Each point of light represents a world.

These worlds represent the worlds imagined by every human author. Because of the large number of viewers, or the many people who like them, the beliefs of countless readers and viewers over countless years have gathered into a huge force that created these worlds.

A voice from the depths of his being told the old man that, as a reward for creating a complete world, he could choose to enter a world he created, experience its ups and downs, and personally witness some of the stories he had created.

In this world, he can live forever and enjoy everything it has to offer, but he cannot interfere with the world, or he will be expelled.

As a reward, a character like the old man who created several worlds can choose to give a seed to someone from his Afterlife and bring that person to be reincarnated in the world he created.

The person who is reincarnated will have all their memories of their previous life disappear, and will reappear in this world with their original appearance and legitimate identity.

In the old man's words, this choice was absolutely terrible; they couldn't just bring a living person in and ruin their life.

The only option is to bring in someone who is dying, but that would be pointless.

Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't hold back any longer.

"Which one of me is I? I won't ask why you chose me yet, but I came from another world with my memories intact, and even the house is exactly the same as the one I lived in when I was a child."

The old man wasn't surprised at all and nodded.

"That person was indeed you. I was quite startled when you first brought back memories of your past life, and it seemed like there was some unseen force helping you, wasn't there?"

Xia Yu jumped up from the ground immediately.

"You chose me, shouldn't the system be something you gave me?"

Now it was the old man's turn to be dumbfounded.

"System? What system? Which force are you talking about that's helping you?"

Suddenly, neither of them spoke, and they stared at each other blankly.

"Are you sure you chose me? That I traveled here because of you?"

Xia Yu asked uncertainly, suddenly feeling that there might be some misunderstanding, or perhaps another person who had transmigrated here.

"Impossible!"

The old man said it with absolute certainty.

"They carry my mark on them; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to enter this world. I can sense that; there's no way I could be wrong."

Suddenly, a chill ran down their spines. Who was behind this?

"What exactly do you mean by 'system'? What kind of existence is it?"

The two stared at each other for a long time before the old man finally couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yu remained silent for a moment, then instead of answering the old man's question, he asked a question in return.

"Why don't you tell me why you chose me, including why you appeared in the Soul Stone, and why you couldn't tell me anything before, but suddenly told me so much today? Tell me everything first, and I'll analyze it."

Something seemed off. Xia Yu couldn't just believe everything; he needed to hear the whole story before making his own judgment.

The old man had lived for a long time, and he could see Xia Yu's concerns. However, he was absolutely certain that Xia Yu had entered this world carrying his mark, and he also wanted to find out what had happened.

Nodding, the old man began to speak again.

The voice I heard from the depths of my being told me that I could choose to come into this world alone.

That voice gave the old man quite a long time to make a choice.

But the old man really didn't know what to choose. He was in this unknown space, looking at the world he had created, and also at other worlds created by others.

Although you can't go inside, you can see the complete story cycle of this world directly from the outside.

The old man originally planned to wait until the time was up before entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe alone.

However, after some time, a new person arrived in this unknown space.

Like Old Master Li, this person is also a creator of many worlds, but unlike Old Master Li's comics, he creates them in the form of novels.

He is a renowned Huaxia martial arts novelist, and he and the old man are known as the two most imaginative gentlemen in the East and West, respectively.

It has provided the world with countless wonderful stories.

And that mysterious voice gave this newcomer the same choice as the old man.

Since the time hadn't come yet, the two lovely old people, who had already been spiritually connected for a long time, began to communicate in the unknown space.

The more they talked, the more compatible they became.

As they chatted, the topic turned to the comic worlds created by Old Master Li. The old man said that some of the Hero characters about Huaxia in Old Master Li were not pure enough and did not resemble Huaxia people or Chinese martial arts at all.

However, Old Master Li said that the other old man's novel was too simplistic, unlike his own world, which was diverse and vibrant with magic, technology, martial arts, and more.

As they talked, the two suddenly had an idea.

An idea to make the most of the available spots.
