Chapter 167 Turn around and walk down the stairs

"Who are you? Why are you in our territory?" the leader asked coldly, his voice full of majesty and unquestionableness.

Lin Nan and Meng Qi explained their origins and told the leader that they were travelers who were accidentally teleported to this time and space and they had no hostility.

The leader was silent for a moment, as if thinking about their words. Finally, he stretched out his hand and signaled the soldiers to retreat.

"Since you have no hostility, then stay here for a while." The leader said coldly, his eyes sweeping over Lin Nan and Meng Qi.

Lin Nan and Meng Qi were secretly glad that they had finally escaped the disaster temporarily. However, they also knew that this was just the beginning and they would face more unknown challenges.

"We need more help!" Doctor Strange gritted his teeth and said, "We can't just rely on the two of us."

At this moment, the door of Kamar-Taj was pushed open again, and a group of wizards in ancient robes walked in, led by the Ancient One. Her arrival gave Lin Nan and Doctor Strange a glimmer of hope.

"Master Ancient One!" Lin Nan shouted in surprise.

The Ancient One smiled slightly, raised his hands, and cast a powerful barrier, trapping Thanos in it. Thanos struggled and tried to destroy the barrier, but the Ancient One's power was extraordinary and he could not break through for a while.

"We must seize the opportunity now and seal him completely." Master Ancient One said in a deep voice.

Lin Nan and Doctor Strange nodded, and together they cast their most powerful magic, concentrating all their strength. The energy fluctuations within the barrier became stronger and stronger, and Thanos' struggle became more intense.

"You think you can stop me like this?" Thanos roared, "I will be back!"

Before he finished speaking, Thanos' figure was surrounded by powerful energy and gradually disappeared into the barrier. Lin Nan felt weak and almost fainted, but he knew that this was only a temporary victory and the threat of Thanos still existed.

Master Gu Yi walked up to Lin Nan and patted him on the shoulder gently. "You did a good job, Lin Nan. We have gained precious time, but the battle is not over yet."

Lin Nan nodded, his heart full of determination, "I will continue to work hard until I defeat Thanos completely."

In the following days, Lin Nan continued to study and practice in Kamar-Taj. He understood that only by constantly improving his strength could he protect himself and his friends in future battles. Every day, he became stronger and gradually mastered more time magic.

One day, while browsing ancient books in the library, he found a book that recorded time magic. The book mentioned an ancient ritual that could enhance the power of the time guardian, but it required finding three lost time gems.

"Time Stone..." Lin Nan murmured to himself, and new hope ignited in his heart.

He decided to look for these gems. Only by collecting them can Thanos be completely defeated. He told this idea to Doctor Strange and Ancient One, and both of them expressed their support and provided many useful clues.

Lin Nan embarked on a new journey. He knew that this road was destined to be full of hardships and dangers, but he was ready. Every step would be a new challenge, and every challenge would make him stronger.

He walked alone on the road in the wilderness, the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing the storm ahead. Lin Nan did not retreat, the watch on his wrist emitted a faint light to guide him in the direction.

"I must find the Time Stone," he whispered to himself, "It's my only hope."

During the journey, Lin Nan met all kinds of people and things, including enemies and friends.

Want to kill the three time guardians by yourself,

Lin Nan embarked on a journey alone to find the Time Stone. He knew that this was a road full of hardships and dangers, but he had no choice. Only by collecting all the Time Stones could he gain enough power to completely defeat Thanos.

The clue of the first time gem pointed to an abandoned ancient city. Lin Nan passed through the dense forest and finally found the ancient city in ruins. The tall city walls had been eroded by time and collapsed into piles of rubble. The air was filled with a smell of decay.

Lin Nan walked into the ancient city. It was strangely quiet, with only his footsteps echoing in the empty streets. He felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if something was watching him from the dark. He clenched his watch in his hand, secretly alert.

Lin Nan stopped in front of an ancient temple. The door of the temple was half-closed, and a dim light shone through it. He took a deep breath, pushed the door open and walked in. The interior of the temple was covered with thick dust, and the walls were carved with complex patterns, as if telling an ancient story.

Suddenly, Lin Nan felt a gust of cold wind coming, and he turned around abruptly, and saw a figure standing in the center of the temple. It was an old man wearing an ancient robe, with wrinkles on his face, and his eyes revealed a deep wisdom and endless sadness.

"Who are you?" Lin Nan asked vigilantly, the watch in his hand glowing slightly.

The old man smiled slightly, and said in a low and slow voice, "I am the guardian of this ancient city, and the first guardian of time you are looking for."

Lin Nan's heart skipped a beat and he clenched the watch in his hand. "Do you know why I'm here?"

The old man nodded and said, "The Eye of Time has foreseen your arrival, but you must prove that you are worthy of the Time Stone."

Lin Nan took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "I will prove it to you."

The old man smiled and waved his hand. The ground of the temple suddenly cracked, and a ray of light shot out from the crack, forming a staircase leading underground.

"Follow me," the old man said, turning and walking down the steps.

Lin Nan followed closely behind him. The steps went down to a huge underground cave. In the center of the cave was a blue gem, emitting a soft light. Lin Nan felt a strong energy fluctuation, and he knew that this was the first time gem he was looking for.

"To obtain this gem, you must pass a test," the old man said, a serious look in his eyes.

Lin Nan nodded, "What test?"

The old man did not answer, but waved his hand. Countless phantoms suddenly appeared around the cave, and Lin Nan saw his past and future flashing before his eyes. He saw himself facing Thanos alone, saw his friends fall one by one, and saw the whole world fall into destruction.

"Are these the real future?" Lin Nan murmured to himself, his heart filled with fear and despair.

The old man walked up to him and whispered, "These are your deepest fears. You must conquer them or you will never obtain the Time Stone."
