Chapter 136. The Future Can Be Changed

Chapter 136. The Future Can Be Changed

An eerie silence fell over the hall. For them, converging the timeline was a reshaping of their worldview and a test of their souls.

After all, this is equivalent to experiencing countless different lives in a short period of time, and even with Ji Yuan's protective power, it still carries a huge burden.

He has the ability to eliminate this burden, but there is no need. How can he form a sacred timeline and deal with possible anomalies in the future without personally experiencing countless possibilities?

However, this silence did not last long. A loud, mournful cry rang out in the hall, disrupting everyone's thoughts, and all eyes turned to the source of the sound.

"Father, I'm sorry. I've failed you in your good intentions," Thor cried out, kneeling beside Odin, his voice filled with sincerity.

"I don't want to be the King of Asgard anymore. You should continue to be the King. I'm not suited for this position."

This is the profound truth that Thor came to after seeing so many possible scenarios of the future.

He discovered that among so many possibilities, if he became the King of Asgard, most of them would end badly.

Either his parents died tragically, Asgard was destroyed, or the Nine Realms were destroyed, even though in some possibilities he became powerful enough to reshape the Nine Realms.

But what's the use of power if you have no family? It's better to have nothing at all.

Thor felt that family reunion was better than being the King of Asgard; he couldn't possibly sit on that throne.

"You bastard!"

Thor was still basking in his self-satisfaction when he suddenly received a loving punch from Odin. His head was throbbing, and he looked at Odin with a blank expression, not understanding what was going on.

Odin rubbed his fist, looking disappointed in Odin.

This was his long-planned retirement plan. If Thor didn't become king, how would he take care of himself in his old age?

However, seeing Thor's reaction and combining it with what Odin himself saw in the future timeline, he could roughly guess what Thor was thinking.

Indeed, in most cases, he died not long after passing the throne, but there is no necessary connection between the two.

He passed on the throne only when he was about to die, not the other way around.

Why can't Thor understand this? Odin is already planning to send his silly son back to soak in the Well of Wisdom. He's so stubborn.

"Thor, being the King of Asgard is a responsibility you must bear. To run away is not the behavior of a king," Odin said patiently, placing his hand on Thor's head.

"But—" Thor looked at Odin innocently, "But the tragedies I see in the future, the thrones are all extremely important turning points, I don't want to—."

boom!

Odin punched Thor on the head again. Despite having some suspicions, hearing it clearly still made him want to hit him.

"Think carefully about why I should pass the throne to you."

"Listen—because I'm your son?"

Upon hearing Thor's answer, Odin's fist, which was clenched behind his back, hardened. He regretted instilling in the child the idea that fighting was the ultimate goal.

This kid has spent all his brainpower figuring out how to fight; he doesn't think about anything else at all.

Odin calmly said, "I am old and need to take care of myself, so I am passing the throne to you. Are you trying to mistreat your old father by refusing the throne? Now, do you know why I am passing the throne to you?"

Thor nodded solemnly.

Odin's eyes widened, his tone becoming more forceful: "Besides, even if the throne created this possibility, now that you know some aspects of the future, can't you change it? Do you really have to run away?"

"yes."

Thor's eyes lit up. It must be because the overwhelming images of the future had made him forget that he could change the future. A true king should face everything head-on.

The crowd, who had been somewhat bewildered, couldn't help but smile as they watched Odin disciplining his son.

Yes, since we already know what the possible future might be, why not try to avoid or change it?

Instead of fearing what the future holds, we should face it head-on. Human effort can change anything, and besides, their trajectory has already been altered by Ultraman. The future will be written by themselves.

"So what should we do next? Wait for the anomaly timeline to appear?" Steve looked around, taking in everyone's previous reactions. These were comrades he would absolutely trust in the future.

Ji Yuan nodded and said calmly, "They wouldn't dare to intervene in the multiverse so openly. Let's wait until the timeline shows abnormal fluctuations."

"As for now, the foundation has been laid. On this earth, you can do whatever you want, and while waiting for the visitors from the depths of the universe soon."

"And the skillful use of the power of words."

"Oh?" Steve's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Peace on Earth is only a matter of time, but people can't be without goals. After seeing so many scenes from parallel universes, his goals have been elevated.

Peace on Earth is peace, and peace in the universe is also peace. If there is an opportunity, spreading peace to the entire multiverse is something worth pursuing.

The first step toward peace in the multiverse is to first bring peace to this universe.

Unlike Steve, who is concerned with cosmic peace, Stark focuses more on the power of "Words of Power".

For an inventor, a pioneer in technological exploration, "the power of words" was simply too strange. Even with some knowledge of the future, he still couldn't glimpse its essence.

Stark, holding Pepper close, asked excitedly, "Ji Yuan, what exactly is the principle behind this Word of Power? It's truly amazing!"

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "This can actually be seen as a variant of magic. Essentially, it's about the use of energy, simplifying the way magic spells invoke cosmic energy."

"There is no need to recite complicated incantations or use complicated gestures; simply express your inner thoughts in the simplest language."

"If you want to know more, I suggest you look at the spellbooks in the library, or go to Kamar-Taj and consult the Sorcerer Supreme."

"Does this Word of Power have a range limit?" Stark asked expectantly.

Ji Yuan narrowed his eyes, feeling that this restless fellow was up to no good again. However, he still said, "Yes, this kind of energy mobilization and its intervention in reality comes from a kind of field-like radiation from the Star of Light, which will continue to spread."

"Now, it should cover the entire solar system."

"Okay! I'll head back to the building now!"

Stark shouted excitedly, and a portal appeared, instantly transporting them back to Stark Tower, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.
