"This was what we should have done. After all, we were all Chinese."
The elderly Ancient One stepped forward, smiling as she spoke.
That was indeed true. This Ancient One had originally come from Tibet in China and was Chinese by birth. The other Ancient Ones had likewise chosen to join China, so it was only natural for them to contribute to the country.
"Come to think of it, perhaps before long, we will need your help as well."
The elderly Ancient One looked at Chen Mu and spoke meaningfully.
As everyone knew, the Ancient One's magical power mainly came from borrowing it from the Eternal Great God. Although the Eternal Great God was not as wildly ambitious as Dormammu—
—and had never proactively demanded that the borrowed power be repaid, unlike some loan shark, but had genuinely lent it—
—no one liked being in debt.
Now that Dormammu had provided a precedent, the elderly Ancient One was considering whether she could find an opportunity to do the same to the Eternal Great God.
Kill the creditor and take her place?
Hiss... the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed!
"In that case, if you ever need anything in the future, China will certainly offer its full support."
Chen Mu had no idea what the elderly Ancient One was planning, nor did he know that she had already set her sights on the Eternal Great God. In high spirits, he spoke to her.
In fact, even if Chen Mu had known what the elderly Ancient One was planning, he would not have been afraid. On the contrary, when it came to a figure on the level of the Eternal Great God, he would have been greatly looking forward to it.
Of course, China was not yet strong
