Rewards, Astral Tower

The next morning.

A grand wedding was held at the manor.

Wanda, dressed in a white wedding gown, walked down a red carpet over a hundred meters long.

Her mind was completely blank.

Even now, she still felt as though she were dreaming.

She was marrying someone she had known for less than two days just like that?

She turned and glanced at Xu Mo beside her.

She had to admit that, setting aside his character, he was indeed a suitable marriage partner.

Young, handsome, and rich!

Too bad he was a scumbag!

Wanda sighed.

By this point, she had no choice but to resign herself to it.

Since both of their parents had already passed away, the whole process was considerably simplified.

After the vows and exchange of rings came the kiss.

As Xu Mo gradually drew closer, Wanda's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she tightly gripped the bouquet in her hands.

After Xu Mo gave her a brief, restrained kiss, the wedding ceremony was officially complete.

"Hey, Xu. I was wondering what had made you so eager to step into the grave of love, but after seeing this beautiful lady beside you, it seems your decision wasn't wrong!"

Tony, champagne in hand, escaped from the crowd.

It could not be helped. Some time ago, he had uttered that classic line in public.

I am Iron Man!

Ever since then, no matter where he went, he became the center of attention.

As for why he had appeared at Xu Mo's wedding—

When Tony announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons development division, Xu Mo had taken advantage of the low price to buy up Stark Industries stock. After Obadiah, Stark Industries' second-in-command, went to meet God, he had once again acquired a large number of Stark Industries shares from Obadiah's family.

This resulted in—

Xu Mo directly holding 30% of Stark Industries' shares, making him the second-largest shareholder after Tony's 39%.

Besides, even before becoming a Stark Industries shareholder, the two of them had been kindred spirits. Both were enthusiastic collectors, and nearly every famous model and celebrity in the United States had been swept up by the pair.

After becoming shareholders, they hit it off immediately and quickly became close friends.

When Wanda, standing beside Xu Mo, saw Tony, a strange glint appeared in her eyes.

Tony noticed Wanda's gaze.

A trace of confusion appeared on his face.

"Sorry, have we... met?"

Xu Mo also noticed Wanda's expression, and his face shifted.

It was obvious that Wanda's parents had both died at the hands of weapons manufactured by Stark Industries. Seeing Tony, the current master of Stark Industries, she naturally would not look pleased.

He immediately stepped forward, took her left hand, and comforted her.

Only then did he explain to Tony.

"Of course not. Trust me, she just remembered some unpleasant memories!"

But clearly, this was not the right time to explain that.

After casually brushing him off with a few words, Xu Mo quickly pulled Wanda away in another direction.

Before activating the system, he did not want any accidents to happen.

For now, it was better to keep Wanda away from Tony.

Wanda obediently let Xu Mo lead her away by the hand. She raised her head and looked at his profile.

"It seems like you know him quite well?"

"Uh, you should know that I own shares in Stark Industries. Of course, I bought them after they shut down the weapons division!"

Wanda nodded without saying anything more.

Someone had naturally given her a general introduction to Xu Mo's background last night.

She knew that very well.

After the two left.

Tony looked at their retreating figures and shrugged.

"Unpleasant memories?"

After muttering that, Tony quickly put the matter out of his mind. Spotting a tall figure in the distance, he confidently approached her.

"Hi, Jenna!"

That night.

Inside the bridal suite on the top floor of the villa.

Wanda sat nervously on a mattress worth over a million dollars.

With a creak, the door opened.

Xu Mo looked at Wanda, whose hands kept unconsciously kneading her wedding dress.

"You seem rather nervous?"

"I... I...!"

A panicked expression appeared on Wanda's face.

A moment later.

"Ding! The host has married. The Swallowing Exchange System has been activated. You have obtained the Swallowed Star Cultivation Method!"

"Marriage partner Wanda has been bound. Passive activated: Eternal Uniqueness!"

In an instant, waves of memories continuously flooded into his mind.

An hour later, Xu Mo glanced at Wanda beside him, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He silently began sorting through the information in his mind.

His mind now contained all kinds of cultivation methods and secret techniques from the world of Swallowed Star, ranging from the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method and Psychicist Fundamentals to the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, Duandong River, and Origin Array Technique. It contained everything imaginable!

Naturally, he was familiar with the cultivation system of that world.

The cultivation ranks began at Apprentice Level, followed by Planetary Level, Stellar Level, Universe Level...

Not even mentioning the stronger ranks, an Apprentice Level at the peak could possess basic punching strength approaching a thousand tons.

A casual strike could destroy a building dozens of stories tall.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xu Mo began communicating with the system in his mind.

A moment later, he took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably.

Then his gaze fell upon that passive skill.

"Eternal Uniqueness: Wanda, who activated the system with the host, will become the sole existence in the Multiverse. Furthermore, the life trajectory timelines of both parties, including the host, will be frozen. No one can alter them!"

Combined with the system's explanation, Xu Mo understood the function of this skill.

Simply put, this skill had two effects.

First, his wife Wanda had become the one and only Wanda in the Multiverse.

This greatly satisfied Xu Mo.

The unique nature of the Marvel world meant that it contained countless multiverses, and almost every universe had the same people, only with somewhat different life trajectories.

Just as every multiverse had a Xu Mo and a Wanda.

Xu Mo did not care much about that. Although the Xu Mos in other universes looked the same as him, they were not him after all.

But Wanda was different. She was his wife. If those Wandas in other multiverses married and had children with other people, it would still feel as though he were being cheated on.

This ability of the system prevented that from happening.

The other effect of this passive was that neither of their life trajectories could be changed. No one could travel through time to reach a point in their past timelines, alter their lives, or harm their former selves.

This eliminated the danger of someone traveling back to when they were weak and killing them outright.

It could be said that this passive ability had practically resolved all of his worries.

The system's function was quite simple.

As long as he killed villains, he could obtain points, which could be used to exchange for all kinds of items in the system store.

"Would you like to open the beginner's gift pack?"

The system's voice rang out in Xu Mo's mind once more.

"Open it!"

Xu Mo impatiently muttered in his mind.

Had he not gone to such lengths, using both threats and inducements to marry Wanda, all for this gift pack?

Given the potential of Wanda's Chaos Magic, the reward he received should count as high-tier, right?

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Astral Tower (Enhanced)!"
