American comics: A salted fish becomes a saint by hanging up

Lin Nan felt a little warm in his heart as he listened to their conversation. Although he was still worried about the future, at least he knew that he was not facing it alone. His journey had just begun, and the road ahead was full of unknown challenges, but he had made up his mind to find a way to control the power of nothingness no matter what.

"Thank you." Lin Nan said sincerely, with determination and gratitude in his eyes.

Doctor Strange smiled slightly, nodded, and then waved his scepter to open a portal to Kamar-Taj. Lin Nan looked at the door that was flashing with strange light, took a deep breath, and took the first step firmly.

Lin Nan followed Doctor Strange through the portal and instantly felt a huge change in the atmosphere around him. On the other side of the portal was a peaceful and mysterious scene - an ancient temple was hidden among the towering mountains, and there was a solemn atmosphere around it, as if time had lost its meaning here.

"This is Kamar-Taj," Doctor Strange said softly, taking Lin Nan into the temple. "This temple has thousands of years of history. It is a holy place for us to practice magic and control power. Here, you can put aside worldly troubles and focus on inner cultivation."

Lin Nan nodded silently and followed Doctor Strange, his heart filled with mixed emotions. His world had been turned upside down, and he could no longer go back to the simple life he had in the past. His former friends and family now seemed distant and blurred. Lin Nan couldn't help but ask himself, "Can I go back to the past? Or am I destined to coexist with this power of nothingness?"

Walking into the temple hall, Lin Nan felt a strong flow of energy. He saw several robed apprentices meditating, their postures peaceful, as if they were integrated with the surrounding world. This gave Lin Nan a glimmer of hope: perhaps here, he could find the answer to controlling his own power.

Doctor Strange stopped and turned to look at Lin Nan, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes. "You may feel lonely, Lin Nan, but remember that everyone here has faced their own fears and insecurities. Your power is special and may bring more challenges, but as long as you persist, you can master it."

Lin Nan nodded, his anxiety slightly relieved. Just as he was about to say something, a flash of memory suddenly flashed through his mind - his friends, those who were once indispensable in his life, are now missing. Are they worried about his disappearance? Or have they forgotten him?

"Doctor Strange," Lin Nan couldn't help but ask, "My friends...are they okay? Do they know what happened to me?"

Doctor Strange's expression softened. He was silent for a moment before he spoke slowly: "Your friends don't know your current situation. In order to protect them, we didn't tell them the truth. You have been involved in a battle beyond ordinary people's understanding. Ordinary people's lives should not be disturbed by this force."

Lin Nan felt bitter. He knew that Doctor Strange was right, but he still couldn't suppress his longing for the past. He missed the time he spent with his friends, those carefree days.

"Can I still see them?" Lin Nan asked, with a hint of desire in his tone. A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. "Lin Nan, you haven't fully mastered this power yet. If you rashly come into contact with ordinary people's lives, it may bring unpredictable consequences. Let's discuss this issue again when you can fully control the power of nothingness, okay?"

Lin Nan nodded helplessly, feeling powerless. He knew that his current situation was dangerous and might even endanger everyone around him. But that didn't mean he could easily let go of his concerns about the past. His friends occupied an important place in his heart, and now he had to separate from them, which made him feel very painful.

Doctor Strange seemed to see through his thoughts and said softly: "Loneliness is a test we all face, especially when you have extraordinary powers. But loneliness does not mean that you have to bear everything alone. We are all here to support you. You will find that everyone here will become your new friend or even your family."

Lin Nan nodded slightly, but the confusion in his heart did not completely dissipate. Perhaps he really needed time to adapt to all this and accept the change of his fate. The door of the temple suddenly opened, and a strong cold wind rushed in. Lin Nan looked at the door involuntarily, and saw an old man in a robe walked in, holding a cane in his hand, with a majestic aura. When Doctor Strange saw the old man, he immediately stood up straight and looked particularly respectful.

"This is the Archmage, the guardian of Kamar-Taj." Doctor Strange introduced Lin Nan with respect in his tone.

Lin Nan saluted immediately. Although he knew nothing about this great wizard, from Doctor Strange's attitude, he realized that this old man possessed a very high status and great power.

The Archmage nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on Lin Nan for a moment, as if assessing his potential and danger. Then, he turned to Doctor Strange and whispered, "I sense the fluctuation of the power in his body. It is very unstable and may even lead to serious consequences."

Doctor Strange nodded, his face solemn: "Yes, Grand Master, I have placed a seal on him, but it is only temporary. We need a longer time to help him control the power of nothingness."

The Archmage pondered for a moment, then said, "This is not just a matter of controlling power, but also about his state of mind. If his heart is corroded by the void, even the most powerful seal will not be able to prevent the explosion of that power."

When Lin Nan heard these words, his heart was shocked. He began to realize that the challenge he faced was not only external power, but also internal spiritual struggle. Nothingness was not only eroding his body, but also slowly eroding his will.

"Then what should I do?" His tone was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

The Archmage stared at him, his eyes revealing a hint of depth. "You need to find your inner balance and learn to find your own path between power and humanity. This process will not be easy, but this is a test you must go through."

Lin Nan was silent. He knew that he had embarked on a dangerous road, and there was no turning back. Friends, past life, all of these gradually became distant and almost untouchable. He could only move forward and face the unknown challenges.
