The Great Winter Soldier

"No, Gu Yi, don't do this, I can help you." Wanda kept shaking her head. In her soul state, she looked up at Master Gu Yi's calm face.

But I saw Master Gu Yi still stubbornly shaking his head: "I tried countless times, but every time I couldn't avoid this result, every time I couldn't avoid it, I finally realized a problem."

Wanda looked at the old man with his last words. Her sensitive and soft heart really couldn't stand this scene.

Master Gu Yi smiled faintly: "None of this has anything to do with me."

"No, you are the Supreme Mage. I have been here for a short time, but I have listened to too many of your stories. You have protected this planet too many times, and you can resolve the crisis every time. Without you, This planet has long since vanished into thin air.”

"Yes, I prevented terrible disasters one after another, but more terrible things followed one after another." Master Gu Yi gently smoothed Wanda's hair, and gently rubbed Wanda's slightly curly hair with his fingers. At the end of her hair, she liked that this apprentice was meticulous about everything, from her desire to learn knowledge, her devotion to Kama Taj, and her mentality towards the world, to those trivial things, her neatly trimmed and elegant hair. The clean nails, the slightly curly hair, and the spotless crimson robe. It is said that this was specially given to her by someone, reminding her of her purpose all the time.

"Those crises are in the past, and more terrifying crises are coming one after another. All my attempts, all my efforts, the final end point is here, every time." Master Gu Yi said softly. , she is an old woman who has thoroughly understood life, without any desire for life. “Every clue has led me here, and every small incident has slowly fermented the crisis. For me, this is who I am.” The end of my life."

"No, don't do this, don't give up your life. If you can try a thousand or two thousand times, you can try two thousand and one times." Wanda tried to hold the palm of Master Gu Yi tightly, but failed. Because she had not yet mastered magic, her palm passed through the palm of the ancient mage.

"I can meet everyone's future, and I once naively thought that I could change everything. The existence of Xia Tian showed me a clear fact, and this incident told me more conclusively that this is not the case." Master Gu Yi looked down at Wanda, who looked sad. Unlike Wanda who was infected by emotions, Master Gu Yi still looked indifferent, "None of this has anything to do with me."

"Do you want to know your future?" Master Gu Yi asked softly.

Wanda bit her lip and nodded silently.

"In countless timelines, I have seen your demise, your demise, and the demise of the world." When Master Gu Yi said this, he looked straight at Wanda and said word by word, "But here In this timeline, I can't see your future, I can't see Xia Tian's future, I can't see the future of this world."

"That fuzzy node came from 2013. Ever since the first battle against the dark elves in outer space in the summer, everything has become blurry. I tried to find the answer, but became more and more confused." Master Gu Yi's voice was cold, It seemed that it was not mixed with any human emotions, "After hundreds of attempts, I discovered this precious timeline. Then, your future became unpredictable, then Nicole Summer, and then It was Qin Gray who came to live here from another space. Ever since that girl came to this world, I found that the future of a certain individual was no longer blurry, but that the future of the entire planet had become chaotic. It has become something mysterious and unknown again, which makes me feel like I have returned to when I was an apprentice, and I was so ignorant about everything."

Master Gu Yi once again repeated what she once said: "None of this has anything to do with me."

"The reason why you can become a student of Kama Taj is not that I chose you, but that fate chose you." Master Gu Yi sighed softly. In this slightly dim library, the distant people The candle flames swayed extremely slowly, seeming to show the passage of time. Although time moves slowly, its pace is unstoppable. "You are a kind girl, full of love, full of noble qualities, and have

With a magical talent that can change illusion and reality, your noble qualities may be what prevents you from achieving greatness. "

Wanda opened her mouth slightly and looked at Master Ancient One in astonishment, somewhat confused.

"The meaning of life does not lie in the individual, and the meaning of life does not lie in the self." Master Gu Yi looked up at the rows of bookshelves and looked at her collection over the years. Behind every ancient book there is an unforgettable memory. "But your superficial noble character makes you drown in the quagmire. You cannot stand in the sky and look down at the world. You cannot stand silently on the bank of the river of time and watch it flow quietly indifferently. You will be happy, You will be depressed, moved, and angry, and you will try to step into it and change each small wave. And the change of each wave will eventually condense into a stormy wave, overturning everything."

"Is it like this?" Wanda lowered her head and retorted in a low voice.

Master Gu Yi suddenly smiled. The upward curve of the corners of his mouth was very small, but it was so innocent. It seemed that when he was paying tribute to his ignorance, he seemed to be missing his original self that was still full of emotions.

"Yes, maybe it's like this. When I discovered the pattern of all this, I tried hard to change myself, restrain myself, and tried not to let my superficial kindness cause more harm to the world. All I could see in my eyes was After entering another dimension, all that is left in my eyes is this planet and this life in a broad sense." Master Gu Yi gently held Wanda's hands and held them in his own hands, "This planet is in my It has been in my hands for hundreds of thousands of years, and it’s time to hand it over to you.”

"Ah, no, Ancient One." Wanda hurriedly tried to grab Master Ancient One's palm, but failed again.

"My life will definitely end here, and you are a born magician, a born Supreme Mage. From now on, the name of the Ancient One passed down from generation to generation will fall on your head. Ancient times The supreme mage Wanda Maximoff led the magicians to protect the three temples and protect this planet." The figure of the ancient mage slowly dissipated, and finally turned into dots of stars, leaving only a faint words. In Wanda's heart, "Goodbye, my only disciple."

Master Gu Yi used his life to teach Wanda the last lesson, and used his own life to tell Wanda what "the meaning of life does not lie in oneself" means.

If Gu Yi thought about it, she could work hard to reset time. She would still be the supreme level mage and the well-deserved supreme existence on earth's magic level. As long as she wanted, she could have everything in an instant.

But she chose death. After hundreds of attempts failed completely, and after she discovered the most unique one among countless timelines, she finally chose to let go. She could not risk the destruction of the earth, reset the timeline, and find this special trajectory without dying.

Although the future of this timeline is ambiguous, among hundreds of paths, this one is the most promising because its future is uncertain.

Master Gu Yi gave up her life, gave up what she had learned all her life, gave up her supreme rights and status, she gave up everything. She just left, and her soul body disappeared in an instant, completely disappearing without a trace.

In the soul state, Wanda stretched out her hand to try to grab the vanished soul body, but could not touch anything.

In the real dimension, Wanda, still holding the book, shed tears in her empty eyes.

Outside the golden portal, Master Ancient One was lying softly among the ruins, his face full of hope and expectation, smiling kindly at Wanda, as if he had found his original self at the last moment of his life, but like this Time did not last long, and her eyes slowly lost their brilliance.

As the golden portal quietly dispersed, the quiet library fell into darkness. Wanda sat on her knees on the ground, with slight tears on her face. The candlelight in the distance was gently swaying, shining in the sky. On her delicate side face, what flows out of her beautiful eyes is a touch of sadness. In a dim environment, a deep red robe looks so deep under the swaying of candlelight. .
