Chapter 132

Ancient One's expression froze, then, as if realizing something, she looked at Lin Yu helplessly.

At this moment, Lin Yu was holding a thick-covered book, looking at the portal thoughtfully.

"My lord?"

Ancient One's helpless voice came from outside the portal.

Lin Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Sorry, my hands were itching for a moment!"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and the portal shimmering with golden sparks suddenly closed, completely hiding Ancient One's figure.

In Kamar-Taj, the smile on Ancient One's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a slight frown.

Ancient One was not surprised by Lin Yu's performance of mastering dimensional magic in just three hours.

But the fact that he could forcibly seize her control over the portal using only the most basic dimensional magic knowledge was something that exceeded Ancient One's cognition!

After ruling out all impossibilities, Ancient One realized a fact: the status and authority of this great existence had already surpassed the object from which she drew her power.

That is, the notorious Lord of the Dark Dimension—Dormammu!

"A great existence that surpasses the Lord of the Dark Dimension..."

Ancient One muttered to herself. After a little thought, she took out the Demon God Scripture, preparing to study it carefully.

If possible, she might be able to find another way to use the power of another great existence to deal with the crisis five years later.

Meanwhile, in the library, Lin Yu looked at the golden spark portal that had opened in front of him, unable to help but reveal a smile.

He hadn't expected that he would be so compatible with dimensional magic; no matter how obscure or difficult the knowledge was, it was as simple as eating and drinking for him, as if he were born knowing it and didn't need to learn at all.

For this kind of golden spark portal, he didn't even need a sling ring; he could open it easily with just a thought.

Not only that, but things like mirror dimensions, spatial imprisonment, spatial banishment...

Various dimensional secret techniques were like breathing to him, belonging to the type where knowing meant mastering.

Discovering this, Lin Yu was naturally overjoyed and began to cram knowledge related to dimensional magic.

It must be said that Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One's attainments in dimensional magic were indeed profound.

Among her many private collections, quite a few were related to dimensional magic.

Among them were even some forbidden magics, such as the 【Dimensional Gate】 that could connect to other dimensions!

Under Lin Yu's thirsty cramming, the twenty-four-hour stay time passed quickly.

Lin Yu hadn't finished reading the collection of Kamar-Taj, so he clicked on the 【Group Mall】 without hesitation and spent 2,000 points to purchase a mid-rank Cross-Realm Talisman, forcibly extending his stay to nine days.

Soon, a week passed.

During this week, Lin Yu remained in Kamar-Taj, cramming all kinds of occult knowledge.

As for the members of the chat group, they were naturally not idle, each busy with their own affairs.

Su Haoming was still at the Cultivation Academy, and Xiang Yunye was busy dealing with the locust plague.

After driving away Li Yunrui, Fan Xian followed He Jingfeng's suggestion and made Li Yunrui's evil deeds public in the form of leaflets, preparing to take the life of this old poisonous woman with a bolt of heavenly lightning after the public opinion fermented.

Compared to the three above, He Jingfeng, as the Pavilion Master of the Nether Pavilion, was relatively idle.

He chatted with the two newcomers in the group all day long, and their relationship gradually warmed up, even starting to talk about cross-realm cooperation.

Especially on Li Shimin's side, He Jingfeng indicated that he could exchange gold and silver for modern firearms to arm the Shu Han army.

In addition, various advanced technologies and modern knowledge were also tucked into the arms shipment and given to Li Shimin as a bonus.

Thanks to him, Shu Han began to enter a brand-new stage of technological explosion.

In this process, He Jingfeng didn't forget to include some private work, sending over knowledge that could shake the foundation of imperial power.

This knowledge was naturally not for Li Shimin to read, but for the then-Chancellor of Shu Han, the Executive Vice Emperor, Zhuge Liang!

As for Li Shimin, he was an emperor himself.

He Jingfeng believed that he would be quite vigilant against this kind of dragon-slaying technique that endangered imperial power.

But what He Jingfeng never expected was that the Li Shimin in the group seemed to be vastly different from the Tang Taizong in history.

He actually discovered the private work He Jingfeng had included, and after reading it, he highly praised this kind of thinking, believing that after unifying Huaxia, everyone in the Great Han should be like a dragon.

Regarding this result, all the group members, including He Jingfeng, were somewhat astonished.

After being questioned, Li Shimin explained with a smile, saying that he had been an emperor for two lifetimes, experienced the vicissitudes of the world, tasted the great terror of death, and no longer cared so much about imperial power.

On the contrary, now that he had implanted a spiritual root, he wanted to cultivate into an immortal and live as long as the other group members.

Compared to that, what was a mere throne? If it weren't for the responsibilities on his shoulders, he could abdicate to the Chancellor right now and run off to the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate!

He Jingfeng couldn't laugh or cry upon hearing this, only then realizing that he had been a small-minded person.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, not only didn't think He Jingfeng had done anything wrong but instead believed that while taking care of his own thoughts, he was also thinking of the poor people of the world, making him a true wise man with a saint's heart.

This praise made He Jingfeng feel a bit embarrassed.

After pondering for a long time, he decided to invite Li Shimin to visit his world and let this past emperor see the Huaxia of today.

Li Shimin happily agreed, and after finishing his government duties, he took a day off to come to He Jingfeng's world, where he was still traveling around the Huaxia land of the 21st century.

Meanwhile, Lin Lie also listened to the suggestions of Lin Yu and He Jingfeng and began to practice the Qi-refining technique of 'Under One Person,' attempting to guide out the innate Qi within his body...

Lin Yu had been paying attention to all these things.

But right now, what he cared about most was knowledge related to various dimensional realms.

In just seven days, Lin Yu's understanding of dimensions and space had advanced by leaps and bounds, his knowledge storage had greatly increased, and he had a deeper level of control over his own authority.

Especially the secret technique that Ancient One used to draw power from exotic dimensions was like a treasure to Lin Yu.

He only made slight improvements before pointing the object of this secret technique toward himself, allowing his clone to draw power continuously from his inner universe across the myriad realms.

Thanks to the dimensional secret technique, the progress of Lin Yu searching for world coordinates also accelerated again.

It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could find the Tang Zhuan World and the Yu Nian World!

With this, the goal of Lin Yu's trip was successfully completed, and he finally left Kamar-Taj with satisfaction.

Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, with mages Wong and Hamir, enthusiastically sent Lin Yu back to New York, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally sent this plague god away!

During this week, various anomalies in space and dimensions kept coming from the library, and sometimes evil auras suspected to be demons would leak out, making Ancient One terrified and wearing the Eye of Agamotto around her neck all day.

Fortunately, Lin Yu still had integrity; when experimenting with magic, he didn't forget to protect the library.

None of the exotic demons he summoned with magic could escape his grasp.

Either they were recruited by him with the Scripture and recorded in the "Bai Ze Wan Lingtu," or they resisted desperately and were killed on the spot...

After experimenting for so many days, Lin Yu was no longer satisfied with summoning creatures from exotic dimensions.

A considerable part of the reason he chose to leave Kamar-Taj was to find a place to test the strongest dimensional magic he had mastered so far—the Dimensional Gate!

After leaving Kamar-Taj, Lin Yu no longer suppressed his speed and flew all the way up, entering space.

Looking at the curved, azure planet beneath his feet, Lin Yu closed his eyes and floated quietly in the universe. His vast consciousness spread out like waves, outlining complex secret scripts in the invisible realm.

In just a few breaths, the surrounding space began to fluctuate.

And Lin Yu's consciousness pierced through the world barrier and infiltrated other dimensions.

In an instant, Lin Yu seemed to see countless overlapping worlds.

Prosperity, hope, dead silence, despair...

Various concepts related to the world flooded into his mind frantically.

The amount of information was so large that it could almost instantly burst a Great Mage at the level of Fuli Lian.

But in front of Lin Yu's vast, sea-like consciousness, this level of information couldn't even stir up a ripple.

In just a few seconds, he sorted out all the information and organized it into colorful points of light.

"Are these points of light connected to different dimensions and worlds?"

Lin Yu thought thoughtfully, his consciousness moved, and he chose a point of light shimmering with red, blue, and black.

In an instant, a door shimmering with faint golden light appeared in front of him; it was the secret Dimensional Gate!

"So simple?"

Lin Yu blinked, then used his consciousness to push open this golden door.

The clock tower outside the New York Sanctum.

Under the dim sky, the broken clock tower gears showered down like rain.

Amidst the sky full of metal debris, Gwen's body fell toward the ground like a butterfly with broken wings. A pair of blue eyes stared blankly at the figure in the red and blue uniform above her head, seemingly wanting to imprint him deeply in her mind at the last moment of her life.

Peter Parker let out a mournful cry, throwing himself toward his beloved below with all his might.

White spider silk shot out from his wrist, passing through the layers of gaps between the gears and debris, trying desperately to grab Gwen.

But the dual pull of gravity and fate ultimately tore apart his last hope.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of a spine snapping, everything settled.

Peter fell from the sky, looking at the girl hanging off the ground by the spider silk, his fingers trembling as he pulled off his mask.

Tears washed two clear tracks on his dust-covered cheeks, falling into the dust-filled ruins.

Peter knelt down trembling, pulled off the spider silk with force, took Gwen's corpse into his arms, and looked at that pale, quiet, beautiful face, his heart filled with unbearable grief.

He regretted it...

He regretted refusing Harry, which led to his childhood friend becoming the Green Goblin who opposed him.

He regretted getting back together with Gwen, which led to her suffering an unprovoked disaster and dying in this meaningless battle.

He regretted even more not listening to Captain George's last words and staying away from Gwen from the beginning, which led to his lover and Captain George's daughter dying in his arms just like this...

If there were still a miracle, if God could give him one more chance, he would definitely—

Just as Peter was immersed in grief and regret, the air in front of him suddenly rippled.

A door shimmering with golden light slowly opened, revealing the handsome young man with black hair and black eyes behind the door.

Looking at Peter, who was holding the girl in the ruins and crying silently, the young man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and blurted out:

"Spider-Man?!"

"What kind of play is this?"
