After saying this, Lin Feng fell silent.
He left Gu Yi time to consider, while he calmly and leisurely drank his tea.
By now, Gu Yi was no match for Lin Feng.
According to the settings, Gu Yi and Odin were beings of the same level.
However, their strengths were not fully displayed in the movies.
As a Silver Superman, Lin Feng, if he were to act, could easily take the Time Stone from Gu Yi.
But Lin Feng clearly had no intention of attacking the Sorcerer Supreme who had protected Earth for countless years.
Lin Feng was not a supervillain.
He truly couldn't bear to snatch things from the bald sorcerer.
After all, Gu Yi was his compatriot! They were both from the East!
If Gu Yi truly refused, Lin Feng could go for the Soul Stone first.
With two to three years left before Strange's car accident, the Time Stone would still be Lin Feng's then.
Lin Feng had no intention of going easy on Strange.
Lin Feng's words brought Gu Yi comfort, yet also a sigh of regret.
She believed that in his current state, Lin Feng was capable of dealing with the dark forces of the universe.
"That is not entirely the reason," Gu Yi took a sip of tea and sighed.
She waved her hand in the air, conjuring a winding, branching timeline.
Time flowed like water, connecting the past, present, and future.
Gu Yi lightly touched the torrent of time, and the spectral images of the six Infinity Stones appeared, slowly revolving around time.
"The six Infinity Stones create the flow of time we perceive."
"The future holds infinite possibilities."
"And countless branches will emerge."
"But all of this is the normal course of time."
Gu Yi was demonstrating this to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded seriously.
The timeline was mysterious and terrifying.
Strange had witnessed over ten million possible futures in Infinity War.
And that was only a small fraction of the countless futures.
Perhaps if Strange had drunk 0.1 ml more water, it would have led to a completely different future.
Therefore, the timeline was indeed terrifying.
Gu Yi continued to pinch the air, and a lifelike miniature figure of Lin Feng appeared in her hand.
She placed Lin Feng's phantom onto the timeline.
Then, the timeline from the point of Lin Feng's appearance instantly exploded like fireworks.
The subsequent flow of time turned into a mass of white mist.
The clear timeline became blurry and indistinct.
"Do you see? After your appearance, everything has become unstable and undetectable!"
Gu Yi deliberately pointed her finger at the mass of white mist.
Logically, even if Lin Feng's existence created more timelines, Gu Yi should still be able to see them.
After all, the future was the future; no matter how varied, it would eventually choose one path.
But now, she truly couldn't see. She couldn't see if she would hand the Time Stone to Lin Feng.
Gu Yi could sense that a cataclysm that would decide the fate of the universe was coming, but she couldn't clearly discern the process of the event. How could she not be worried?
Therefore, for Gu Yi, whether to hand over the Infinity Stone or not felt like a gamble.
At this point, Lin Feng understood Gu Yi's concerns.
The unknown was terrifying.
However, Lin Feng had some premonition that the future had become blurry, but he had never delved deeply into it.
He was not an indigenous character of Marvel.
His appearance was like hot coffee spilled onto the Marvel script.
From the moment it was spilled, the subsequent plot had already been melted by the coffee.
How the future would unfold now basically revolved around Lin Feng.
"I stand by my word, Sorcerer."
"I will do everything in my power to protect Earth!"
"Besides, the future has already changed. We can only adapt as we go, can't we?"
Lin Feng said calmly, rubbing his chin, his tone filled with sincerity.
He felt Gu Yi was becoming somewhat obsessed.
Since she couldn't see the future, she should forge a desired future herself.
For Lin Feng, being able to see the future was not important; what mattered was that he possessed the power to alter it.
Perhaps Gu Yi simply needed such an assurance.
Frankly speaking, Lin Feng's strength was already the most powerful and potentially the most influential being in the universe that Gu Yi had ever seen.
After a long period of contemplation, Gu Yi waved her hand, dispersing the phantom in the air.
She finally decided to hand over the Time Stone.
The responsibility of every Sorcerer Supreme was to protect the Time Stone.
But she could no longer control the future, so it should be handed over to a more powerful being to guard the Infinity Stones.
Since Lin Feng was the one who made the future unclear to her, she would hand the Time Stone to Lin Feng and let him worry about it!
Once decided, she no longer hesitated.
Gu Yi formed a hand seal in the air.
The Eye of Agamotto on the table began to spin slowly.
Lin Feng's heart stirred, and he watched Gu Yi's actions quietly, knowing she had made her choice.
The Eye of Agamotto opened, and a green light emanated from its center.
The light slowly floated up; it was the Time Stone, one of the Infinity Stones.
Gu Yi conjured the Time Stone in the air and, with a complex look in her eyes, pushed it towards Lin Feng.
"I hope my choice is the right one..."
Lin Feng looked at the Time Stone, which was within reach, and took a deep breath, calming his slightly agitated heart.
Infinity Stones, only one more left!
He reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, Gu Yi suddenly pulled it back?
Lin Feng paused, did not pursue, and merely looked at Gu Yi with confusion.
"Do you remember what I said when you wanted to learn magic?"
Lin Feng froze, not understanding why Gu Yi suddenly brought this up.
However, his mind replayed the scene from back then.
"Yes, Sorcerer. You said the time wasn't right, didn't you?"
Gu Yi, holding the Time Stone, nodded.
"So, are you still interested in learning magic now?"
Hmm?
Lin Feng's expression gradually turned strange.
Why bring up learning magic at this moment?
What was Gu Yi thinking?
Could it be that she wanted him to become the next Sorcerer Supreme?
Skipping Doctor Strange?
The more Lin Feng thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
If Lin Feng were willing to learn magic, he might become the most powerful Sorcerer Supreme in history!
However, if Gu Yi had said this six months ago, Lin Feng would have immediately agreed.
But now... Lin Feng's thoughts had changed.
Organizing his thoughts, Lin Feng politely refused.
"I don't need to learn magic anymore, Sorcerer Gu Yi!"
Magic now offered very little increase to his strength.
Even if Gu Yi were to trap Lin Feng in a Mirror Dimension now, it would be useless.
He could shatter it with a heat vision blast, let alone the fact that he was already wearing several Infinity Stones.
