When Ling Yi came to his senses, he found himself in a farm.
The sky was a deep blue, but Wuyun and sunless.
Surrounded by distant mountains and dense forests, yet Wufeng or sound.
At the entrance of the farm, there is a winding stream, but the surface of the stream is as smooth as a mirror, without the slightest ripple.
The farm is not large; one side has a cornfield, and the other side has sheep pens and cattle sheds.
Ahead stood two small wooden buildings.
At the top of the stairs in the small building, there was an old man with long, flowing hair and a slightly receding hairline, wearing a blue robe.
This must be Shazam.
However, what made Ling Yi Ling Yi frown was that he did not Perception any particularly strong energy from Shazam.
If we absolutely must make a numerical comparison...
If Adam's energy level is 10,000, then Shazam's energy level is currently less than 100.
"Hello, outsider. I know you have many questions. You can use your Mental Ability to read my memories; this will save us a lot of time."
Shazam nodded his head and said.
Ling Yi didn't hold back either. Shazam was already on his last legs, and although his Divine Power wasn't weak, it was no match for Ling Yi's current state.
Moreover, Ling Yi's Mental Ability to read memories does not cause any harm to people.
As Shazam said, directly accessing his memories would save a lot of trouble.
A golden light flashed in Ling Yi's eyes, and his Mind Power was suddenly released.
Reading memories was indeed not difficult at all; in fact, thanks to Shazam's cooperation, Ling Yi read all of Shazam's memories with ease.
Even so, it still took Ling Yi a full half hour to browse through all of Shazam's memories.
Shazam's existence and character design are very similar to the Ancient One from Marvel.
They are all heroes Guard justice in the world.
Like the Ancient One, the long passage of time gradually made him weary of the life of a hero, and he began to plan his retirement.
Therefore, the plan to find a successor was formed.
Teth-Adam was Shazam's chosen successor.
But he is not the most qualified successor.
"In the original course of events, I directly bestowed the power of the Divinity upon Adam, but after gaining this power, Adam also developed ambition."
Shazam sat on the wooden steps, patted the steps next to him, and gestured for Ling Yi to sit down beside him.
Ling Yi walked over and sat down next to Shazam.
He knew that it was time to listen to the story.
"Therefore, I withdrew the Divine Power from Adam and sealed it within the ruins of Kahndaq."
"My true successor will appear in five years; he's a good kid named Billy Batson."
"This is the trajectory of Shazam, Adam, and Billy Batson in the Main Universe."
" The Main Universe?" Ling Yi murmured.
"Yes, the Main Universe, also called the Greater Omniverse."
Ling Yi understood the concept of the Greater Omniverse because he had seen Shazam's memories.
Beneath the Greater Omniverse are 52 Omniverse, and beyond Omniverse, the Multiverse.
This is very different from the Marvel.
The Marvel multiverse can be viewed as parallel universes of the Main Universe, that is, timelines branching off from the Sacred Timeline.
However, the DC multiverses are all completely independent.
To be precise, the DC multiverse is all created by humans.
Above the multiverse, there is a supreme god named Perpetua, but she is not the Creator of the DC multiverse.
She created the Monitor, the Anti-Monitor, and the World Forger.
The Monitor primarily control the Positive Matter Universe, Anti-Monitor oversee the Antimatter Universe.
As for the World Forger, they are the Creator of the multiverse.
The World Forger not only create Positive Matter Universe, but also Antimatter Universe.
However, the World Forger is a very irresponsible god; most of the multiverses she created are defective.
These defective universes, after a period of development, will basically become obsolete.
Or perhaps some terrifying villain will appear and wipe out all life in the universe.
Alternatively, the rules of the universe may have undergone unreasonable Changes, ultimately leading to an instability in the matter of the universe and the creation of all sorts of chaotic monsters.
Well, you could probably think of these flawed multiverses as the "What If...? " series within the DC World.
These flawed universes will eventually be eaten by the World Forger's pet, Barbatos, and then the World Forger will use the Element X Element X continue creating new multiverses.
Repeat this process.
Of all the multiverses, only 52 remain consistently stable, and these 52 DC multiverses are also known as the DC Omniverse.
All DC Omniverse share one characteristic: the center of the universe is Blue Star.
This center refers to the center in a Physics sense.
Any universe that is not centered on Blue Star is not Omniverse, nor can it become Omniverse. Ultimately, they will all reach their end, becoming incomplete universes, and eventually be devoured by Barbatos.
The problem now is that the DC universe in which Ling Yi lives is a universe that is not centered on Blue Star.
It's not even a Greater Omniverse Main Universe, let alone Omniverse.
"So, in other words, our universe might very well be eaten up by that thing called Barbatos in the future?" Ling Yi asked.
"Yes, unless we can make her an Omniverse." Shazam nodded.
"Old man, you don't mean you want me to save this universe, do you?" Ling Yi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No, I won't make you do these things, because this is what you're supposed to do." Shazam looked at Ling Yi and smiled.
Ling Yi wanted to refute, but for a moment he didn't know how to start.
He lives in this universe, and if he doesn't want this universe to disappear, he must save it.
How to do it?
"We'll talk about that later!" Shazam shook his head.
Then, he slapped his forehead, and a ball of purple energy flew out from his forehead and was caught by Shazam.
The next moment, Shazam slammed it towards Ling Yi.
Ling Yi instinctively tried to catch the Light Ball, but as soon as his palm touched Light Ball, the purple violet Light Ball flowed through Ling Yi fingers and merged into Ling Yi body.
This startled Ling Yi.
What the hell?
"Don't worry, this is Element X, the essential material for creating the universe."
Ling Yi was speechless. There was always this feeling that some guy didn't know what name to give, so he just used an "X" to fool people.
"If, one day, this universe Reversal reaches its end, I hope you can use it to create another universe."
"Why don't you do this yourself?" Ling Yi frowned.
"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that none of us can do it."
"You?"
"Yes, none of the native beings in this universe can do it. Only you, an outsider, have the opportunity to activate the Element X and create an independent universe outside of the independent multiverse."
Ling Yi frowned and asked, "How did you know I was an outsider?"
"Because you possess Aura that doesn't belong to this universe."
Who is the strongest being in this universe?
"The strongest beings in this universe are the Guardian."
What's your name?
"Let's call him Guardian, or Guardian of the Universe."
"I must warn you, never let the Guardian discover your existence. One of the Guardian ' tasks is to expel outsiders, like you, or other visitors from the multiverse."
"However, now that you possess the Element X, as long as you don't use power exceeding Fixed Star Grade, you won't be detected by the Guardian."
Because he had read Shazam's memories, Ling Yi knew roughly what Fixed Star Grade power level was.
If measured by zodiac animal numbers, the figure would be well over a trillion.
In other words, even if Ling Yi wiped out the entire Blue Star, it wouldn't even be a fraction of it.
As for the strength of the Star Guardian, it's hard to say.
Because Shazam didn't know either.
Not only Shazam not know, but even the seven gods who lent Shazam their power didn't know.
After all, that's a higher level of power.
To be honest, Ling Yi has really gotten a bit cocky lately.
Sixty million surnames, nearly six hundred thousand tons of power, and that's all sixty million surnames.
On Blue Star, they are already invincible.
Well, it needs to be clarified here that the standard zodiac sign of an ordinary person is determined by the system to be 1. Therefore, saying that there are 60 million zodiac signs here is the same concept as saying that there are 60 million times the zodiac sign of an ordinary person.
However, not everyone's surname is 1.
Some Transcendent individuals, those with Ability User, will have extremely high attributes.
Take Doomsday for Doomsday; it directly gave Ling Yi over 100,000 attribute bonuses.
It also granted Ling Yi the ability to adapt and Infinite Evolution.
Therefore, from a profit perspective, it's not worthwhile for ordinary people to benefit from this.
We still need to deal with those Transcendent individuals.
Moreover, we don't necessarily have to start with Blue Star. Blue Star is only so big; if we completely destroy it, how many species could there be?
The universe is so vast, and there are so many villains within it, why focus on Blue Star?
Besides enemies in the universe, what other so-called higher-dimensional gods or demons are there? These are also Ling Yi's targets!
And isn't the Crown of Sabac a chance to become stronger?
Mephisto, Lord of Hell, Hell, hehehe...
Ling Yi stroked his chin thoughtfully, realizing that if he wanted to become stronger quickly, he would have to rely on the system.
Just because you can't take action doesn't mean your subordinates can't.
Previously, Ling Yi was somewhat hesitant about forcibly taking Superman and the others under his command.
Now that this broken multiverse is almost gone, what's the point of being coy?
Superheroes and supervillains, get the hell out of my bowl!
You all better become my wage Laozi.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi couldn't help but glance at Shazam beside him.
This old man wants to retire and enjoy his old age? That won't do.
Ling Yi's biggest gain this time was not actually Shazam's remaining power, but Shazam's treasure trove of knowledge.
To be precise, it's Shazam's wizarding gift package, and his understanding of this world.
A treasure trove of knowledge accumulated over nine thousand years!
Yes, strictly speaking, Shazam is a wizard, not Mage. As for the difference between a wizard and Mage...
Hmm, it seems like there's not much difference, right?
Ling Yi, in any case, didn't notice.
At this moment, Shazam spoke again, "For our universe to become Omniverse, a second condition needs to be met."
