"Of course, besides eating, there's also the path of adaptation and evolution."
"But if you want to improve your strength through adaptive evolution."
"You need to go to a place that makes you feel very uncomfortable and is harmful to your body, and stay there for a while. Your body will automatically evolve resistance."
"The harsher the environment, the faster the adaptive evolution."
Harvey was teaching Tony Stark some of the experiences he had gained over the years.
He wasn't afraid that Tony Stark would surpass him, so he was not stingy with these experiences at all.
"Harsh environment? Like an incredibly dry desert?"
Tony Stark pondered after hearing this.
"No, the desert surface will only make you slightly uncomfortable and only make you unafraid of the heat."
"But if you want to achieve deeper evolution in the desert."
"You need to actively step into the desert's underground and be buried alive by the yellow sand for a period of time."
"The immense pressure the sand burial brings to your body will allow you to gain deeper abilities."
"The ocean is the same. As long as you can stay for a period of time, you will definitely evolve the ability to breathe in the ocean."
"However, if you want to be unafraid of water pressure and venture into the deep sea, you will need to adapt and evolve over some time."
Harvey shook his head and explained.
"It sounds like adaptive evolution requires risking your life."
Tony Stark originally wanted to pursue both paths, but after hearing what Harvey Anberaka said, his idea was immediately dismissed.
"Essentially, it is indeed risking your life."
"Because adaptive evolution occurs in extreme environments when there is no other choice, rapidly adapting to the environment to enhance one's survival ability."
"Of course, if you want to travel the universe directly with your physical body, explore various harsh environments, seek the truth, and fight various powerful enemies."
"Being able to make all the preparations you can foresee and strengthen yourself is the only way to ensure your survival."
Harvey nodded in agreement and said slowly.
"Traveling the Void with my physical body..."
Hearing this, Tony Stark recalled the giant Void creatures, as vast as galaxies, that he had just seen.
Tony Stark couldn't comprehend the extent of their power.
But he knew one thing: if he evolved to that level, let alone freely traversing the universe, the universe would simply be his backyard.
Various cosmic radiation disasters, like Gamma Rays, were insignificant to those terrifying Void creatures.
Moreover, those unimaginably evolved monsters were all just one of the powers mastered by Harvey Anberaka.
Let alone evolving to Harvey Anberaka's level, even evolving to the pinnacle of just one of the powers Harvey Anberaka possessed would likely take an immeasurable amount of time.
Fortunately, his lifespan was not limited to a mere hundred years. As long as he lived long enough, he would surely be able to glimpse the truth of the Void and obtain one of its powers one day.
And as the first person to join the Void, Tony Stark felt it necessary to evolve further before others joined, so that those who came later would know what a pioneer was.
"It sounds truly aspirational."
Tony Stark smiled.
In the past, Tony Stark would only dare to dream of going into space using the technology he invented.
As long as his Iron Man armor was further researched, traveling near Earth's orbit should not be a dream, but an achievable ideal.
However, traveling into space with his physical body was something he had never even dared to imagine before.
Because even setting aside the unsolvable problem of human respiration in space.
The intense ultraviolet rays, completely unfiltered by the ozone layer, could kill him instantly, not to mention the various forms of radiation and rays.
"Don't get too happy too soon. Even if you join the Void, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want now."
"There are some big figures on Earth. If you provoke them, it will bring death to the currently weak you."
Seeing Tony Stark's smile, Harvey reminded him.
"Big figures? Are you talking about that Captain Marvel?"
Tony Stark immediately thought of a name and asked.
"That Captain Marvel is currently helping the inhabitants of various planets across the universe, so you don't need to worry about her for now."
"The one you need to pay most attention to now is the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One. She has protected Earth for hundreds of years."
Because Tony Stark had officially joined the Void and was now on the same side as him, Harvey shared more information.
This was to prevent Tony Stark from acting foolishly and inadvertently attracting the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One.
"Protected humanity for hundreds of years? That Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, isn't human either?"
Tony Stark asked incredulously upon hearing this.
After all, he had never heard of any human living for more than a hundred and fifty years.
Harvey Anberaka had been talking to himself for centuries, which felt somewhat unbelievable.
"She's human, but she wields the power of magic and has extended her lifespan through certain means."
"Normally, she doesn't interfere with matters on the material plane easily, as she governs the magical world and enemies from various dimensions."
Harvey said after hearing this.
"I always thought magic was just fiction."
"But now that I've met you and joined the Void, it doesn't seem impossible for someone in the universe to wield magic."
Tony Stark pondered for a moment and murmured.
"Let alone the universe, even on Earth alone, there are many powers that ordinary people can't comprehend."
"You've only just broken free from the human category. For ordinary people, your power will soon exceed common sense."
"However, compared to those powerhouses who wield various superpowers and magic, you are, at best, an ant who knows its own strength."
Harvey was lecturing Tony Stark.
"Although I know I'm very weak right now, you can at least describe me as human, right?"
Tony Stark felt the fire ignited in his heart doused by a bucket of cold water. He didn't question Harvey Anberaka's words but wanted to correct him.
He had lived as a human for nearly forty years. Although joining the Void had drastically changed his race and the worlds he encountered, even if his life level was different, his mindset was at least still human.
"I was only talking about the difference in power, but it's good that you have this awareness."
"It will allow you to better resist the temptations of desire in the future."
Harvey glanced at Tony Stark with some admiration and praised him.
"How strong is that Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One?"
"Tell me more quickly. Later, when Pepper joins too."
"I'll be able to brag to her... explain to her."
Tony Stark took everything Harvey Anberaka said to heart and asked curiously.
Now that he had joined the Void and Harvey Anberaka's faction, he could truly be considered to have touched the extraordinary world that humans couldn't access.
And regarding the extraordinary world, the information he knew was too little.
