Three Years Later
AC City was originally part of Asgard. After Asgard was destroyed, Xia Yu allocated one-third of AC City to the residents of Asgard.
And it restores Asgard to its original appearance as much as possible.
For example, the Endless Sea that flows into the universe, when Xia Yu stopped Thanos' The Snap, absorbed the Source of the Soul Stone, and his abilities almost became godlike.
It also recreates the classic area of Asgard.
Firstly, it's for the people of Asgard, and secondly, it's to commemorate the days I spent in Asgard searching for Odin.
Unfortunately, the Bifrost no longer exists.
However, a year ago, Xia Yu built a grand palace in the middle of the Endless Sea.
It looks no different from the Bifrost Temple from back then.
There's just no Bifrost connecting them.
This is the base that changes the fate of every planet and creates countless River of Destiny in the universe.
This hall is not just a place; it is more like a cosmic probe.
This is a destiny detector developed by a team of top scientists, including Tony, Shuri, and Banner.
For two whole years, the Avengers traveled to almost the entire universe.
In changing the predetermined fate of countless planets, it is equivalent to placing countless butterflies flapping their wings throughout the universe.
After two years of busy work, many inhabited planets not on the interstellar map will at some point generate a river of destiny.
This detector is designed to capture the latest emerging River of Destiny in the universe.
It can not only accurately track the Destiny Energy, but also automatically calculate the location of the River of Destiny based on the speed at which the energy disappears and spreads.
This completely freed up Xia Yu's time.
Inside the main hall, dozens of Kamar-Taj priests take turns keeping watch.
Dozens of monitors were hung high on the wall.
Each monitor is equipped with an alarm.
Suddenly, monitor number 18 emitted a piercing alarm sound.
The image above shows two sets of numerical coordinates.
One is the coordinates of this planet in the universe, and the other is the coordinates of its position on this planet within the River of Destiny.
The mage in front of the monitor lazily stood up, carefully examined the two sets of coordinates, and silently calculated the position in his mind.
With a wave of his hand, a portal opened precisely in the Fate Temple on that planet.
He picked up a locator bearing Xia Yu's spiritual imprint and skillfully tossed it beside the River of Destiny.
With a wave of his hand, the portal closed.
Clearly, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are very skilled at this process.
On the other side of the main hall, only three monks sat.
Compared to their fellow disciples who were always busy, these three mages appeared incredibly relaxed and carefree.
There was also a monitor in front of them.
Three mages were gathered around the monitor, shouting and yelling as they held game controllers.
They were clearly playing games together.
Behind the monitor stood a black man in golden armor and helmet, even his pupils were a pale gold.
Heimdall, a man with cosmic-level telescopic vision.
His job was to constantly patrol the universe and find those extremely remote planets with extremely underdeveloped civilizations.
These planets generally don't appear on interstellar maps, and very few people actually pass by them.
Once such a planet is discovered, Heimdall can quickly pinpoint its location and skillfully write down a set of coordinates.
The three mages below were specifically assigned to Heimdall.
After Heimdall made the discovery, one of them opened a portal, and the three of them used various high-tech gadgets.
They began to perform superstitious rituals in the various tribes of these primitive people.
They might be given fire or other tools, or their tribes or kingdoms might be mediated.
In short, it aims to change the fate of the entire planet.
For over a year, this main hall has been performing this kind of work.
At first, we were too busy to keep up with the demands every day, but now we're lucky if we can make three or four trips a day.
The wings of this butterfly have gradually spread to every corner of the universe.
The synthesis of a cosmic-scale River of Destiny is only a matter of time.
For more than three years, the entire universe underwent a radical transformation due to Xia Yu and his team's plans.
The Time Variance Authority, after the battle in Wakanda, probably realized that it couldn't do anything to Xia Yu in the normal universe, and stopped its usual harassment.
Over the past three years, Xia Yu has ventured deep into the Quantum Realm multiple times, but has never been able to find another base of the Time Variance Authority.
The other members of the Avengers had carried out numerous time travel operations two years prior.
The time was set for 2018, the year Thanos was originally destined to retire to the Garden the Snap.
Besides Xia Yu Avengers mobilized more than ten people, but an unexpected incident occurred once again.
They returned to the exact time and place, Thanos vanished.
Starting from the current timeline, the journey will randomly traverse various points in time from 2018 to 2023.
But after the Snap, Thanos vanished without a trace.
The fate of that parallel universe also took a turn for the worse.
Thanos disappeared after snapping his the Snap, which means that the fate of other universes, besides this one, has also changed.
"Tony, you've traveled through so many timelines, but each time you weren't necessarily in the same parallel universe, right?"
Tony was typing a new formula into his computer, frantically analyzing the composition of fate, this elusive and intangible energy.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Tony replied without looking up.
"That's right, I know what you're thinking? All the Thanos in the universes beneath the main universe might disappear, right? The fate of all universes has been altered."
Hearing Tony's affirmative answer, Xia Yu continued.
"But why? Who exactly is behind this? The Time Variance Authority? But isn't their job to fix fate?"
This puzzled Xia Yu greatly.
"That's easy!"
Tony stopped what he was doing, snapped his the Snap, and said...
"It's quite simple. At first glance, there are two possibilities. The first is that they are trying to deal with us. They are rallying together enemies of the Avengers from every universe, which means there could be countless Thanos armies wearing the Infinity Gauntlet attacking us."
"But if that were the case, they would have made their move long ago, so we'll disregard that for now. The second possibility is the Soul Stone, which is definitely a very important item. They can't let you obtain the complete Source Six Infinity Stones."
"Thanos is just an illusion. The main thing is the Soul Stone. To prevent you from getting it, they even went so far as to directly alter the fate of every universe. It's the same old server theory: once they've changed the commands within a controllable range, they can change them back, or even completely reformat the system."
"But our server has gone out of control because of what you did, or what the last person who defied fate did. They can only use other servers to stabilize ours, such as that abnormal River of Destiny."
"That's why they don't let you get the Soul Stone, because that could give you the ability to change the entire server group."
Xia Yu scratched his head, trying to process Tony's long-winded explanation.
"So, does that mean they've already abandoned my server? Then what's the point of us doing all that work?"
Never place your hopes on others, my friend!
Tony waved to Xia Yu and went about his business.
Xia Yu fell into deep thought again. Where could he get another Soul Stone?
