Lin Feng traded a bottle of Saiyan bloodline to Tivan for information about who was spreading news of Lin Feng and the Infinity Stones. Tivan named Thanos, then revealed he meant a Thanos from another universe.

• Lin Feng refused Tivan's demand for an Infinity Stone but offered a bottle of Low-Grade Saiyan Bloodline in exchange for information.
• Tivan examined the bloodline, learned of its Saiyan abilities, and agreed to the trade.
• Tivan told Lin Feng that Thanos was spreading the news.
• Lin Feng questioned Tivan because he had already checked with Thanos and used the Mind Stone to test him.
• Tivan clarified that he meant a Thanos from a different universe.

Thanos followed an anonymous message to a barren, storm-covered planet, where he found an ancient palace and a mysterious figure waiting for him. The figure removed his helmet and revealed himself to be an elderly version of Thanos.

• Thanos traveled with Nebula and Ebony Maw to the coordinates in a message promising he could save the universe.

• The master removed his helmet, revealing a face identical to Thanos’s, only older.

Tivan showed Lin Feng footage of an elderly Thanos from another universe, who had destroyed his own universe and was now seeking the Infinity Stones. When someone used all six Stones to snap across the Marvel Universe, Lin Feng sensed danger and snapped his fingers too, canceling the energy wave.

• Tivan told Lin Feng that an alien Thanos had spread the news about the Infinity Stones and showed him footage of Thanos seated on Galactus's head alongside Ghost Rider and an aged Hulk.

• Lin Feng sensed a shockwave from someone using all six Infinity Stones and deactivated his bracer's invisibility.
• Lin Feng snapped his fingers, and his shockwave collided with the other one before both dissipated.

• Lin Feng realized an unseen being had restrained Old Thanos, and a voice in his mind told him to ask the magical system who had helped him.

Lin Feng learned from the System that the Marvel Universe’s Cosmic Consciousness had helped him fend off Old Thanos, who had fled to another universe. After the System explained Thanos’s motives, Lin Feng used the Infinity Stones to erase everyone’s knowledge of their location.

• Lin Feng snapped his fingers and erased from the Marvel Universe everyone’s memories of where the Infinity Stones were, including information in databases and communications.

After defeating Old Thanos, Lin Feng considered exchanging his spare Infinity Stones for Reputation Points and looked toward Golden Superman as a way to grow stronger. The system argued that he was underusing his Silver Superman Body and offered to teach him how to draw out new abilities.

• Lin Feng destroyed Old Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet, kept its six Infinity Stones, and returned to Transit Star; the Thanos left behind turned to dust.
