Awakening Cangjie's Statue
Chen Ji was secretly delighted.
The design blueprints for the Sling Ring!
He accepted it with a smile.
But...
Upon seeing the Sorcerer Supreme Codex displayed by the Ancient One, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
The Sorcerer Supreme Codex
It is the Sorcerer Supreme's signature treasure.
Even the Ancient One recorded her insights in the Sorcerer Supreme Codex, a book with countless pages and various symbols and characters.
Chen Ji suddenly wavered.
After all, the temptation was right in front of him: once he succeeded the Ancient One and became the Sorcerer Supreme, he could read this manual!
"List."
"This secret manual encompasses all things, including the insights of Sorcerer Supreme throughout history. Once you succeed me, you will be able to take control of this manual."
"You really have no interest?"
Ancient One's expression was a half-smile.
She finally saw Chen Ji's intention.
Chen Ji repeatedly refused the position of Sorcerer Supreme; was it because the temptation wasn't strong enough?
If she had known this would happen, she would have revealed the Sorcerer Supreme Codex long ago!
"I'm interested."
"However, Ancient One, I am truly not capable of shouldering the mission of the Sorcerer Supreme."
"But I can keep the Sorcerer Supreme Codex for you."
Chen Ji smiled.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes.
Custody?
It's okay to flip through it, right?
However.
Ancient One shook her head.
"Only the Sorcerer Supreme is worthy to keep the secrets."
Chen Ji remained silent.
I was also struggling internally.
But he quickly revealed a smile.
Doctor Strange, he is the Sorcerer Supreme of the Weird World, he should also have a Sorcerer Supreme Codex, next time he returns to the Weird World.
He can still read this book of the Sorcerer Supreme Codex in another universe!
A broader perspective!
Chen Ji had no worries whatsoever.
He then brought up his plan.
"Ancient One, to be honest..."
"I'm worried that the Divine Awakening will destroy the Earth, so I'm preparing to establish a secret organization to recruit the leaders of the major powers in the universe."
"I call them the Illuminati!"
"Professor X has already agreed."
"As the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One, I hope you will also join this organization."
"Let's discuss how to stop the Divine Awakening."
Chen Ji's gaze was firm as he spoke eloquently.
The words had barely left his mouth.
The expression on the face of the Ancient One also changed.
Illuminati?
How did it come to be established by Chen?
Through the Time Stone, she saw the existence of the Illuminati and knew that Illuminati would protect the world in secret.
However, the Illuminati she saw was founded by Doctor Strange!
Doctor Strange took her place and became the Sorcerer Supreme, which doesn't count as overstepping his bounds.
But Chen Ji has no identity whatsoever.
How exactly did he convince Professor X?
Professor X has joined, so she... definitely can't fall behind!
Otherwise, this will affect Chen Ji's perception and gradually make him side with Professor X.
Chen Ji had already awakened her Celestial Factor; if she were to leave Kamar-Taj over something so trivial, she would be at a huge loss.
"List."
I agree with your proposal.
"Illuminati"
Are there any other members?
"Furthermore... I must remind you, the Ancient Gods are not to be trusted; do not become Ancient Gods tool."
The Ancient One solemn.
Unable to control his emotions in the end, he silently gave himself a warning.
"Tony Stark Thor will also join the Illuminati, representing the Avengers and Asgard respectively."
"As for the Ancient Gods..."
"Rest assured."
"I understand."
Chen Ji nodded secretly.
Really.
Nothing can be hidden from the Ancient One!
The Ancient One probably already knew about [Cangjie's Proxy]'s identity, which is why she gave him a warning.
Key.
The emotions conveyed in her eyes.
Why...
Chen Ji felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were watching a dying man.
Could it be that he will die in the Seven Realms War?!
Chen Ji was stunned.
No way!
"List."
"You seem to have something else on your mind?"
The Ancient One frowned.
But they discovered that Chen Ji showed no intention of leaving.
In an instant.
Chen Ji also remembered.
"Venerable One."
"Through videos on the dark web, I discovered that the headquarters of the Blasphemy Cult might be in Sokovia."
"I've come specifically to discuss this matter with you."
"I believe the Blasphemy Cult should be addressed promptly."
"Otherwise, the Blasphemy Cult will eventually use blood sacrifices to kill all the Sokovia."
Chen Ji detailed the advantages and disadvantages.
Now that he had discovered the location of the Blasphemy Cult, he could no longer remain uninvolved.
Besides, this is Wanda's hometown.
Avoiding the destruction of Sokovia should also bring a large amount of Luck Value; that's a foregone conclusion!
"The Blasphemy Cult..."
"Hidden in Sokovia?"
"It seems the first topic of the Mystic Council is how to deal with the Blasphemy Cult."
"However, I'm sorry."
"List."
"You are neither the Sorcerer Supreme nor a member of the Mystic Council, and are not qualified to listen in. Please leave for now."
Ancient One smiled.
There was a hint of teasing in his words.
This almost made Chen Ji vomit blood.
Not qualified to sit in...?
Never mind!
If he's not qualified, he's not qualified. He should talk to Cangjie and discuss the Seven Realms War.
Since making him an agent wouldn't bring Chen Ji any benefit, he wasn't going to do it!
As for the discussion process of the Mystic Council, it doesn't really matter whether Old Wang shows up or not, since he's still there.
A Mystic Portal was opened out of thin air.
Chen Ji bowed and took his leave.
We've returned to the New York Sanctum once again.
Inside the Sanctum.
Eva Feynman and David Simmons are on duty, preventing evil cults and spiritual beings from striking out in the middle of the night.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries.
Chen Ji also returned to his room.
The door was locked.
He then took out Mystic Statue from inside the closet, a statue that was neither human nor beast.
He examined the Mystic Statue closely and then realized that the reason it resembled neither a human nor a beast was because it was wearing an animal skin!
It's roughly the same size as a trophy.
It exudes an ancient aura that comes with the passage of time.
It seems a fragment of a soul resides within!
This soul is very likely the Ancient Gods... Cangjie!
It wasn't until his strength transformed that he realized the statue had always been alive!
He had once considered destroying the statue, but now he felt terrified. Let alone destroying the statue, disturbing the remnant soul of the Ancient Gods residing within it might be enough to get him into serious trouble!
Ancient Gods!
Earlier than ancient times, and even before the Prehistoric Mythological Era.
It existed in this world before the Multiverse was even born.
Ancient Gods are born with immense power, and through fortuitous encounters and opportunities, they transcend other life forms, becoming a Concept Incarnation!
Cangjie.
He is a god of calligraphy, painting, writing, art, and history!
Certainly.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the Story God.
Because stories are history, and history is stories!
The current Story God has become Loki, who sits at the end of time, ruling over the entire Multiverse.
Perhaps...
The deepest part of the Multiversal Tree that Chen Ji saw was where Loki was sitting!
This thought came to mind.
Chen Ji then looked at his left wrist, at the World Tree Tattoo that extended down to the inside of his forearm. Was it for protection, or... a mark?
According to his understanding, Loki's original intention in becoming the God of Time was to fulfill the free will of the Multiverse, and the corresponding price was that Loki would never be free again!
Loki's actions also led to the escape of countless Kang and the formation of the Council of Kangs!
Multiversal War is imminent.
Loki bestowing upon Chen Ji a World Tree Tattoo —isn't that an implication that Chen Ji needs to participate in the Multiversal War?
Destroy the Council of Kangs?
"Multiversal War..."
"Loki, the God of Time..."
Let's calculate it.
"Three Ancient Gods have their eyes on me."
Chen Ji could only manage a wry smile.
This is simply absurd.
But he had no choice at all.
Loki sacrificed his freedom to liberate the Multiverse.
Furthermore, Loki likely meant no harm.
As for the Eye Demon...
At least the Magic Barrier is still there, and the Eye Demon can't do anything about it.
Only Cangjie...
They manipulated his fate and led him to Weird World; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were utterly despicable!
Chen Ji's eyes flickered.
Immediately, a surge of magical power emerged, and he used a secret technique from the Forbidden Spell Compendium to instantly awaken the remnant soul of the Cangjie statue.
An aura of mystery and unpredictability swept out from the Cangjie statue.
The statue slightly opened its eyes.
Its two pupils held four eyes, each containing countless symbols. The statue transformed from stillness to movement, appearing as if it had just woken up, lazily yawning.
"Little brat."
How dare you disturb me?
"You should be creating stories, not just standing there dumbfounded in front of me!"
The statue of Cangjie emitted a hoarse, magical voice, its face ashen. It was forcibly awakened by Chen Ji, and the old man, of course, had a temper when he woke up.
"Creating a story...?"
Do you draw strength from stories?
"You made me your agent without giving me any benefits. Do you think that's fair?"
Chen Ji curled his lip.
He was not afraid of Cangjie.
It's just a mere fragment of a soul.
While he wouldn't be able to be wiped out with a flick of his wrist, he wouldn't be killed by Cangjie either.
He spoke with Cangjie as Cangjie's Proxy, which shows that it must have been no easy task for Cangjie to find an agent!
How did you know I chose you?
"You noticed?"
The statue of Cangjie looked puzzled, as if Chen Ji knew nothing about his identity or origins!
What exactly happened?
Cangjie was suspicious.
The way he looked at Chen Ji had become more meaningful.
"I have no problem with you asking me to be your agent, but if you're looking to get something for nothing, then forget it."
Chen Ji's eyes lit up.
Cangjie's words revealed a crucial piece of information: he was unaware of the existence of the Entry System!
In other words, the Entry System did not originate from Cangjie.
Far surpassing the Ancient Gods!
Chen Ji felt a little more at ease.
After all, having a cheat code is the most impressive thing!
What Ancient Gods?
What Sorcerer Supreme?
None of them are as effective as the Entry System!
"Freebie..."
As the progenitor of writing and the source of all characters, Cangjie immediately understood the meaning of "freebie".
I was immediately intrigued.
It turns out that this agent's ability to create characters was in no way inferior to his!
He was also secretly thinking that since he had chosen Chen Ji as his agent to participate in the Seven Realms War,
So...
It is indeed appropriate to receive some payment in advance.
Otherwise, all his calculations will come to naught.
What exactly could satisfy Chen Ji?
A smile appeared on Cangjie's face. The plaintiff was right in front of him, so he might as well just ask him directly!
"Little brat."
"You possess the aura of Rune; do you wish to master the power of words?"
As soon as Cangjie spoke, he exuded a tremendous aura, as vast as a sea of stars. Faintly, one could see countless characters and symbols swirling around, representing both his Authority and his divine status!
"That's right."
"You became Pictographic Script Ancient Gods because you created God of Words, right?"
What Mystery do Rune and Pictographic Script hold?
Chen Ji said frankly.
Until this point.
He then remembered to check the Cangjie Entry Panel.
[Name]: Cangjie
[Identity]: Ancient Gods
[Entry]: Ancestor of Writing (Gold), Double-Pupil Power (Gold).
[The Ancestor of Writing] (Jin): He deciphered the secrets of writing in ancient times and comprehended the truth of the universe. He is the Concept Incarnation of writing and the source of all writing. As long as writing exists, he will also be immortal.
[Double-Pupil Power] (Gold): A pair of double pupils, containing unparalleled divine power, is also the ancestor of all pupil techniques. It is enough to see through everything in the world, and there is no means that can hide from it.
Double gold panel!
A single statue and a fragment of a soul possess two Gold Entry.
If Cangjie himself were to appear, the Gold Entry would likely be upgraded to Divine Entry!
"The Double-Pupil Power..."
"The progenitor of all eye techniques?"
"If I could obtain the Double-Pupil Power, even if Seven Realms War or Multiversal War, there wouldn't be any mishaps...!"
Chen Ji's pupils suddenly contracted.
Can the Double-Pupil Power withstand the Eye Demon's Gaze?
What will the Eye Demon's Entry Panel look like?
Chen Ji remains unknown.
But they were already secretly excited.
