Ancient One had been the Sorcerer Supreme for many years. He was the most powerful Sorcerer Supreme since ancient times. Because of his strength and deterrence, the earth entered a relatively peaceful period.
The evil gods that had been wreaking havoc on earth since ancient times were expelled by him one by one, and those demons and devils were also destroyed by him and his followers one by one, turning them into dust in the universe.
Because of his existence, many evil forces in the universe did not dare to set foot on earth. Even when the righteous gods were about to come to earth, they needed to communicate with Ancient One.
They would only come here to show that they had no evil intentions.
It sounded cool to use the power of a mortal to deter the multiverse, but for Ancient One, it was a heavy shackle.
Under this great reputation was actually an old man who was getting older and older.
He had been the Sorcerer Supreme for too long, and his long life had brought him many things that others could not imagine, such as endless knowledge and great power.
But he had also lost more things at the same time.
Ancient One has forgotten what the highland barley planted in the farmland of his hometown looked like.
He had also forgotten the shock and excitement he received when he first came into contact with magic.
Although magic could slow down his aging and make him look healthy and strong. But this could not change the fact that his heart had begun to gradually age.
He had already felt a deep sense of fatigue and exhaustion.
The burden of the Sorcerer Supreme had been carried by him for too long. When he suddenly realized that he was no longer young and no longer had the ambitions of the past, he had already protected the earth for many years.
Because of his deterrence, the earth had been peaceful for hundreds of years.
Human civilization began to develop and advance rapidly during this time.
Humans began to constantly conquer the unknown world, conquer the mountains that they had never set foot on before, conquer the deep sea that they had never set foot on before. They even stepped into the universe that humans originally thought that only gods could set foot in.
However, most of the things that humans did during this period of time were killing each other.
This seemed to be human instinct.
Once they had the latest technology, the stupid humans would always use it in the war.
The mutual attacks caused human blood to flow like rivers, and all this was not what Ancient One wanted to see.
He held up an umbrella for humans, but not so that humans could better kill each other under this umbrella.
This unpleasant world made Ancient One feel even more exhausted.
Because powerful technology has made it easier for humans to kill each other, and it has also become more cruel.
However, this was not what Ancient One was most worried about. What Ancient One was most worried about was the gradual decline of the true warriors.
The warriors who had fought alongside him had already passed away.
The humans who grew up under his protection were like flowers in a greenhouse.
Even though they appeared incomparably ferocious in battles against their own kind, they would only reveal their weakness when facing truly terrifying opponents.
The Ancient One's protection of humanity was too comprehensive. Many modern humans had already forgotten the struggles of their ancestors.
They treated those as myths and legends. Very few people in modern times know how great their ancestors were in the past.
Modern humans treated those stories as the foolish ancestors of ancient times worshiping the unknown, as if modern humans had already explored all the knowledge in the world.
They would not know that there was once a person who, in order to bring humanity the first Fire Seed, was nailed to a cliff hundreds of feet high by the gods, exposed to the wind and rain.
They would not know that there was once a person who, in order to eliminate the Fire God who was wreaking havoc in the sky, used the power of his entire race to create a bow that could slay gods, and shot down the Fire God who was wreaking havoc in the sky.
So that the earth would no longer be scorched by the flames, and so that human civilization could continue.
No one would know that there was once a person who, in order to appease the evil God who was wreaking havoc in the four seas, risked his own life to throw himself into the sea and perish together with the Evil God.
The great ancestors used their own flesh and blood to dispel the gods who oppressed humanity, and fought for space for humanity to breathe.
By now, their deeds had already begun to be forgotten by others.
When all history became legends, when legends became myths, how many people still remembered those soul-stirring stories, and how many people felt nostalgic for the deeds of their ancestors.
There was a price to pay for the continuation of civilization, and no race was destined to grow smoothly.
The continuation of a race required sacrifices, and the growth of a civilization required the payment of blood.
The fate of a true warrior was to return to the battlefield, because only their flesh and blood could pave the way for human progress.
Only with the blood of a true warrior, could the most beautiful flower of civilization be watered.
The cruelty and darkness of this world was not something an ordinary person could imagine. You could not see the darkness, because there was a group of people you did not know who destroyed the darkness before it came.
In order to protect Earth, the Ancient One had dispelled the darkness for hundreds of years.
Now, the Ancient One was beginning to regret, because he had seen too many deaths, and he was willing to risk his life for this world.
However, excessive protection had made many people forget how to fight, and even made many people forget to respect this great world, and made many people forget that the continuation of humanity was not a coincidence.
The days of a true warrior had withered, and now all one could see were selfish people.
Perhaps one day, a coward could transform into a true warrior, but that would take too long.
The Ancient One did not know if he had the ability to hold on until that day, so he began to relax his protection of Earth, and began to turn a blind eye to many invasions.
A warrior who did not experience the baptism of blood could not become a true and formidable warrior.
The Ancient One was looking for a warrior. Unlike others, the Ancient One had a deeper understanding of the true face of this world.
He also understood what kind of person could truly shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting this world.
The Sorcerer Supreme began to look for a true warrior, someone who could continue to protect Earth after his death. It might be one, or it might be a group.
When Lan, whom he had met once, appeared in front of Li Jie again, although Li Jie was surprised, he did not feel too surprised.
Even if she had seen through his true identity, he did not feel that it was too hard to accept.
Ever since he saw the great power of the Sorcerer Supreme that day, the Ancient One had almost become a god in his heart.
Especially after exchanging more information with Iron Fist, he admired what the Ancient One had done even more.
When Li Jie stepped through the spatial door opened by Lan, it was only one step away from New York to the Himalayas, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
Before he could marvel at the mysterious power of magic, the most mysterious place on Earth, the Ancient One's journey to Kamateki, appeared in front of Li Jie.
