Chapter 1752 EP1754. People become better with age (Part 1)

A few days later, in an extremely secluded valley, Simachimo met his end.

That's right, it had no intention of dying with Shi Xiaolei and others at the time. The reason why it exploded its lair was not only to severely injure Shi Xiaolei and others, but also to distract them so that it could escape smoothly.

After all, it is a veteran demon god who has lived for countless years, not a rookie hell lord with a grumpy personality. In its long history, it has encountered crises of a similar level more than once. If it had been prone to self-destruction, it would have been impossible for it to survive until now, let alone rank fourth among the seventy-two pillars of demon gods and create a reputation for itself as a wise man.

Cunning Rabbit Three Cave is just a basic operation.

In order to ensure that he would not die, Simachimo also prepared several clones in advance. The kind that only activates into a new carrier when the original deity is killed, and then merges into the soul left behind by the original deity to resurrect it.

After all, the hidden secrets that Ximacimo planted in advance are quite useful. If it were anyone else, they might not be able to see through these deceptions, nor might they be able to completely eliminate them.

Sadly, what Simachimo encountered this time was none other than the cheating Ancient One.

After browsing the timeline, Gu Yi already knew where Ximachimo was hiding, including the clones it had hidden in advance.

Therefore, under the guidance of Gu Yi, Shi Xiaolei and others were responsible for the search. Within a day, the clones that Ximachimo had hidden were found one by one.

So, why wait until a few days later to come back to the valley to deal with Simachimo himself?

That's because Ancient One needs time to refine those clones, turn the seeds split from Simachimo into the essence of Wuzhu, and then merge them into his own body.

Comparing this dimension to a room, then the essence absorbed and fused by Ancient One is the spare key that can be used to unlock the door. As long as he perfectly absorbs that essence and gets rid of Simachimo's true form, Ancient One can take his place and become the new master of this dimension.

That's right, taking Simachimo's place and being promoted to a dimensional demon god was the path that Ancient One chose for himself.

What she said to Shi Xiaolei sounded a lot like her last words, but in fact it was nothing like that.

As for why Ancient One changed his mind and gave up the original plan of using Casillas's hand to fake death and leave...

It’s a long story. To sum up, there are probably the following reasons.

First of all, because of the influence of Shi Xiaolei, Casillas did not come into contact with the forbidden book as in the plot, and he did not know the fact that Ancient One often obtained magic power from Dormammu for free.

Maybe that opportunity will come up in the future, but for now, Casillas is still a serious mage with no problem with his position, and the idea of ​​betraying Karma Taj has not come to his mind.

From the standpoint of Ancient One, the most she can do is not prevent Casillas from touching the forbidden book, but let her take the initiative to arrange some coincidences and guide Casillas to peek into the forbidden book... From her position, it is really impossible. As for doing that.

After all, Casillas was also her student and was taught by her herself. As a teacher, she still hopes that Casillas can have a better future deep down in her heart, instead of being devoured by Dormammu like in the original plot.

In this way...

Since Casillas did not take the initiative to take the evil path, Ancient One would naturally not be able to achieve the scene in the original plot and use Casillas's hand to escape.

This causal relationship was the first reason that prompted Gu Yi to make other choices.

Secondly, it was because of Shi Xiaolei's appearance that Gu Yi realized one thing for the first time - there was a higher-level existence above the 'eternity' she originally wanted.

Yes, the key lies in the plug-in owned by Shi Xiaolei.

Although he couldn't tell what kind of existence it was, Gu Yi was very sure that the status of that thing must be higher than that of Eternity, one of the five gods of creation. The basis for her final judgment was that she could hardly foresee the future related to Shi Xiaolei.

The reason why he chose to follow 'Eternity' was because Gu Yi had browsed the long river of time more than once, and then foresaw the future that was most in line with his wishes. To put it bluntly, Ancient One, who possesses the Time Stone, can already peek into the future related to 'eternity' and see many things clearly.

If we can only see 30 to 40% of the future related to 'eternity', then the content that Shi Xiaolei can glimpse here is only 10 to 20%.

By making a simple comparison, you can tell who is taller. And with Gu Yi's shrewdness, it was impossible not to see this.

Since 'following eternity' is not the best choice, why not change your mind and think of other ways out?

Considering Shi Xiaolei's uncertainty, Gu Yi decided to take a long-term view and promote himself to a dimension lord first.

After becoming a dimension lord, you can continue to keep in touch with Shi Xiaolei. After all, he has been living on the earth, and the dimension he now occupies is very closely connected with the earth, so it is not very difficult to communicate with each other.

At the same time, it can also give up the position of the Supreme Mage, allowing Strange, who has grown to a certain extent, to take over smoothly.

In addition, because I have been promoted to a dimension lord, I can also provide some conveniences to the mages in the future, giving them a new choice besides borrowing power from Emperor Weishan.

Even when Dormammu or other dimensional demons want to invade the earth, Ancient One, who is also a dimensional lord, can stand up and provide assistance to the younger generations of mages.

Of course, the most important thing is that it can solve many remaining problems and clear up many hidden dangers for the troubled earth.

Take, for example, the obsession of Casillas.

Friends who have watched the original movie know that the reason why Casillas took refuge in Dormammu was not simply to gain more power. Deep in his heart, he wanted to use more powerful magic to resurrect his lost family members.

As a mage, the Ancient One could not fulfill Casillas's wish.

But after becoming a dimension lord, the new abilities acquired by Ancient One were barely able to help Casillas achieve his wish.

You know, what Gu Yi took over was a hell dimension, which was originally very close to the underworld where the dead lived. In addition, the previous lord, Ximacimo, was particularly good at soul-returning and spiritual seduction. Ancient One, who inherited its position by fusing the essence, naturally also gained the ability to summon the dead to talk to him.

In conjunction with all kinds of magic that I already know...

In this dimension that she has complete control over, it is not impossible to resurrect Casillas' family.
