It was as if Luo Di had always belonged to this Universe.
If the Sorcerer Ancient One hadn't been so certain that she hadn't misperceived before, she might have even wondered if she had taken in too much Dark Dimension power over the years, causing her to have illusions.
Afterward,
the Sorcerer Ancient One frequently kept an eye on Luo Di's movements.
She even went so far as to absorb a large amount of Dark Dimension power again to activate the Time Stone, using its power to glimpse a corner of the future.
In those new futures she glimpsed, the Sorcerer Ancient One discovered a figure she couldn't clearly see.
That individual had influenced the fate of the Universe, which had already been predetermined.
They forcibly twisted the fate of the Universe, which should have met its end in the Great Destruction!
Although the Sorcerer Ancient One didn't clearly see Luo Di's figure in the corner of the future she glimpsed, she was incredibly certain in her heart that the figure she couldn't even see clearly was Luo Di!
Only he could disregard the power of the Time Stone, preventing it from glimpsing his existence.
The Sorcerer Ancient One did not tell Luo Di about these matters.
Nor did Luo Di ever know.
The future is constantly changing, and the Sorcerer Ancient One was unsure if telling Luo Di these things in advance would affect the original future.
So, she could only use another method to remind Luo Di.
To make him aware of the Great Destruction's existence.
To give him a sense of urgency!
Thus,
if Luo Di originally had a 99.99% chance of reversing the Great Destruction, then with the Sorcerer Ancient One's reminder, that probability might increase to 99.9999% or even higher!
On the other side,
after hearing the Sorcerer Ancient One's words, Luo Di already understood that the unknown power the Sorcerer Ancient One spoke of was actually his system.
It was the system's existence that had shielded his origin.
And also erased him from the prying eyes of certain entities.
Simply put,
Luo Di did not exist within the causality of this Universe but appeared in a vague form.
Unless someone like the Sorcerer Ancient One had discovered him before the system had awakened.
Otherwise,
after that, no one would discover his abnormality.

After understanding this situation,
Luo Di also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"That's good. I thought I had already been targeted by those cosmic gods or something. It seems I still underestimated the system's ability."
Luo Di thought to himself.
The system's existence was undoubtedly his biggest trump card.
Since even the Sorcerer Ancient One, a powerful figure who had coincidentally discovered him early on, hadn't glimpsed the system's existence,
then Luo Di could rest assured.
One must know,
the Sorcerer Ancient One held a Time Stone in her hand.
Even she, possessing the Time Stone, hadn't glimpsed any trace of the system.
Let alone anyone else.
Seeing Luo Di's relieved expression, the Sorcerer Ancient One also smiled.
However, she did not inquire about Luo Di's secret.
In fact, the Sorcerer Ancient One was often a person with few desires; she believed in letting things take their natural course, much like someone who had seen through the mundane world.
Moreover, she didn't even care about her own life, let alone the hidden secrets of others.
This was also why the Sorcerer Ancient One had never bothered Luo Di.
Instead, she only came to find Luo Di and tell him these things after her own death.
...
Just as Luo Di and the Sorcerer Ancient One were discussing Kang the Conqueror and the TVA,
the Dark Dimension space in the sky gradually receded.
The surrounding objects and people that had been corrupted by dark energy also returned to their previous states; only Kaecilius and others, who had absorbed dark energy, were taken away by the retreating Dormammu amidst their screams.
After all, these guys were Dormammu's followers. Since Dormammu had promised Doctor Strange not to invade the main Universe's space again, he naturally wouldn't leave these followers, who carried his power, here.
He simply packaged them all up and took them with him!
However, the fate of Kaecilius and the others who were taken away was probably not good.
Everything that enters the Dark Dimension will be assimilated into dark energy.
Dormammu's words of eternal life, immense power, and so on, which were meant to deceive people, were actually lies.
But in a sense,
he didn't seem to be lying.
Becoming a part of the Dark Dimension, isn't that another form of eternal life?
Moreover,
if you become a part of the Dark Dimension, the entire Dark Dimension is equivalent to countless versions of you. How strong is the Dark Dimension's power?
Wouldn't that grant you immeasurable and powerful strength!
So,
did Dormammu actually not lie and deceive people?
Space twisted and warped.
Luo Di found himself back in the living room.
The Sorcerer Ancient One was now quietly floating in mid-air, surrounded by a faint golden light, which, combined with her bald head, made her look like a Buddha.
"Sorcerer, what is this?"
Luo Di looked at the suddenly high-profile Sorcerer Ancient One in confusion.
"My time has come."
The Sorcerer Ancient One smiled and said to Luo Di, "Young man, remember that the Universe is infinite. Only by going further can you see more of the future!"
As she spoke, the Sorcerer Ancient One's body became increasingly ethereal.
Until the last two words, "future," faded, and only a golden light remained before his eyes.
Vaguely, Luo Di seemed to see the Sorcerer Ancient One floating towards a golden passage. She smiled and nodded at him until she completely disappeared.
A flash of light!
The anomaly before him completely vanished.
Luo Di stood in place, recalling the Sorcerer Ancient One's last words before she left.
Only by going further can you see more of the future?
What did that mean?
Go further, but how far is considered further?
Was the Sorcerer Ancient One telling him not to always stay on Planet Blue Star but to venture out into the Universe more?
Luo Di thought.
But he always felt that the Sorcerer Ancient One probably didn't mean that.
The infinite Universe...
"Could the Sorcerer Ancient One be referring to the Multiverse?"
Luo Di suddenly thought of a possible answer.
If she was referring to the Multiverse, then that would indeed be far enough!
Leaving the Universe, isn't that far enough?
However,
Luo Di didn't have the ability to traverse the Multiverse!
His teleportation ability, at most, was to instantly move within this Universe, and he couldn't even teleport to places too far away, such as from the south side of the Milky Way Galaxy to the north side.
He definitely couldn't do such a long distance.
Let alone instantly teleporting to another Universe.
That was even more impossible!
Furthermore,
Luo Di couldn't think of any Mutant whose Mutant ability allowed them to travel between different Universes.
The Phoenix Force could do this.
After all, it was an Omnipotent Universe Level power!
But...
Was the Phoenix Force considered a Mutant ability?
Or, was it within the range of abilities that the system could extract from Mutants?
If so, then the Phoenix Force could be considered.
But if he really did draw the Phoenix Force...
To be honest,
Luo Di felt that he wouldn't need to go to any other Universe; he could directly solve the problem of the Great Destruction.
After all,
that was the Phoenix Force!
An Omnipotent Universe Level power, solving the problem of a single Universe's destruction, wouldn't that be as easy as flipping a hand?
But what kind of heaven-defying luck would it take to extract the Phoenix Force?
Luo Di's luck had never been good.
Only in certain specific situations would his luck surge.
But it never surged enough for him to instantly draw the Phoenix Force!
So, even if the Phoenix Force could really be drawn, Luo Di didn't think it was something he could achieve in the short term.
Without the ability to traverse the Multiverse, he naturally couldn't go to other Universes.
And if he couldn't go to other Universes, he might not be able to reverse the Universe's fate in the Great Destruction a decade or so later, eventually dying and fading away!
Of course,
it wasn't absolute.
Perhaps in a few years, Luo Di would draw the Phoenix Force?
Or perhaps there were Mutants he didn't know about who also possessed the ability to traverse the Multiverse?
Anyway, all kinds of possibilities existed.
