The Master Weaver’s Legacy!

Reed and the others hurriedly took Invisible Woman Susan to the hospital. After a thorough examination, they found that she was fine. She only needed to rest and focus on her pregnancy.

It truly was good news—so good that the three members of the Fantastic Four were left dumbfounded. It was only after Invisible Woman woke up that they learned she had known she was pregnant for a week. She simply hadn’t said anything because Mister Fantastic had been busy saving Earth with the Avengers.

Upon learning that he was about to become a father, Mister Fantastic was overjoyed. After discussing it with Invisible Woman, he finally decided to put his research into Parallel Universes on hold for the time being.

There were two things more important than his research right now!

The first was getting married.

Ordinarily, marriage was not something to rush. Waiting until the crisis had passed and the disaster had been resolved before proceeding in an orderly manner would have been the best choice.

But they had already "rushed things" before, and now a life was on the way. They had to hurry and get married before the pregnancy began to show.

Besides that, he first had to develop a machine that could detect vital signs and their relationship to Parallel Universe energy, then give Invisible Woman a thorough examination.

Although the doctor had said that Invisible Woman was fine, the cause of her condition had originated from Parallel Universe energy.

That sort of thing was clearly outside the scope of medicine.

To ensure the safety of both mother and child and prevent any accidents, he had to personally investigate and eliminate every hidden danger.

Los Angeles, the rooftop of Li Congxin’s villa.

Looking at Captain Marvel, who had been waiting for quite some time, Li Congxin sat down beside her with complicated feelings and said nothing. His meaning was clear: since she had come looking for him today, she could be the one to speak.

He had thought Captain Marvel would ask about Li Qianhuan, but he hadn’t expected her first words to be, "Regarding the disaster Galactus mentioned, the one that will sweep across the entire universe—do you have any leads?"

For a woman whose heart was set on the universe, Li Congxin didn’t know what to say.

He gently shook his head and answered honestly, "I currently have two suspects. The first is the Phoenix Force. I split it into five parts before, and three have already been destroyed. One is parasitic inside Ava, so it shouldn’t cause any trouble, but the last one has disappeared without a trace."

After a brief pause, he added, "Aside from the Phoenix Force, there’s also Dormammu of the Dark Dimension. When that fellow tried to devour Earth, I drove him back. However, during the chaos, he sent a Dark Apostle into the universe and hid him there. That Dark Apostle is named Kaecilius. His magical talent is almost equal to Stephen Strange’s, making him another hidden danger that cannot be ignored."

Captain Marvel shook her head repeatedly. "According to Galactus, the root of this crisis lies on Earth, and it seems that as long as Earth is destroyed, the disaster will disappear automatically. The two threats you mentioned clearly don’t match that description."

Li Congxin immediately looked at Captain Marvel warily. "What are you planning to do?"

Seeing how serious he looked, Captain Marvel hurriedly shook her head and made her position clear. "Don’t worry. I have absolutely no intention of sacrificing Earth to ensure the safety of the universe."

Only then was Li Congxin satisfied. He nodded and said, "That’s also what I can’t figure out. Unfortunately, even Galactus doesn’t know the details. For now, we can only take things one step at a time."

Captain Marvel raised an eyebrow. "That’s your solution?"

Li Congxin nodded and said at once, "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Before that, though, I’ll enter seclusion for a few days and raise my strength to another level. Many troubles are actually that simple to deal with. Once your strength rises high enough, perhaps those troubles will no longer be troubles."

With a confident smile, Li Congxin continued, "Take the Thanos from Qianhuan’s timeline, for example. He gathered all six Infinity Stones and wiped out half the life in the universe. But on our timeline, if he dares appear on Earth, I can crush him to death directly! As for the Infinity Stones, they’re even further beyond his reach."

Captain Marvel glanced at Li Congxin doubtfully. This fellow could level up whenever he pleased, as easily as eating or drinking water. It was truly an enviable ability.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on her face. Captain Marvel suggested, "Now that we’ve finished discussing business, can we talk about something personal? Something concerning Li Qianhuan."

At the mention of Li Qianhuan, Li Congxin frowned slightly. "How do you want to discuss it?"

"I feel that this place isn’t very convenient. Shall we go somewhere else?"

"Where?"

"Since everything began on Morag, let’s go to Morag to talk."

Li Congxin nodded lightly. "All right."

Three days later, Morag exploded again…

That abandoned planet had been destroyed on both timelines, one after the other.

It truly was a sad story…

In fact, Li Congxin had refused neither of Captain Marvel’s challenges. The reasons behind it were somewhat bittersweet.

First, it wasn’t because of any romantic feelings. Second, it wasn’t because he was attracted to her looks. What truly stirred Li Congxin was her formidable Sub-Celestial physique.

Compared to Captain Marvel, both Hill and Ava were far too fragile. Whenever Li Congxin sparred with them, he had to be exceedingly careful. It was like holding something in his palm and fearing it would break, or keeping it in his mouth and fearing it would melt. He was always afraid that if he failed to restrain his strength, he would cause an irreversible tragedy.

With Captain Marvel, however, he didn’t have to worry about that. Although her body was inferior to Li Congxin’s, it was still unquestionably among the top tier in the Marvel Universe. When fighting her, Li Congxin didn’t need to fear losing control of his strength.

As long as he didn’t use his Vengeance Divine Power during the battle, Captain Marvel could definitely withstand it.

Likewise, Captain Marvel enjoyed sparring with Li Congxin because his physical strength was exceptionally impressive. Combined with his heaven-defying looks, even Captain Marvel found him deeply attractive.

After all, the unparalleled ferocity of a Multiversal Level powerhouse was not something one could encounter everywhere.

Especially this time. To guarantee their absolute safety while sparring, Captain Marvel had brought bulletproof raincoats produced with the Kree Empire’s most advanced technology. As one of the universe’s most cutting-edge high-tech products, the raincoat possessed astonishing defensive power while remaining light and flexible. It did not affect mobility in the slightest, and wearing it felt no different from not wearing it at all.

With an additional layer of protection, no matter how intense their battle became, they no longer had to worry about anyone losing their life.

As it turned out, the raincoat’s quality really was impeccable.

The fierce battle between Earth’s strongest man and woman shattered the ground and shook the stars, yet the raincoat remained completely undamaged.

After returning to Earth from the ruins of Morag, Li Congxin tried contacting the divine-power avatar residing inside Gwen through telepathy. To his surprise, he discovered that his avatars had now spread throughout countless Parallel Universes across the Multiverse. Even inside Little Peter, whom he had previously abandoned completely, there was a divine-power avatar of his standing guard.

What was going on?

Rather than taking the long way around, Li Congxin abandoned the idea of calling the avatar inside Gwen and instead contacted the one inside Little Peter. Only after asking did he learn that the divine-power avatar he had originally placed inside Gwen had actually exceeded its mission!

It turned out that the Marvel Multiverse contained a special existence known as the Master Weaver. He himself was not a Multiversal Level powerhouse; at most, he was comparable to Ancient One at her peak. However, he possessed the ability to travel freely through the Multiverse and was also an unparalleled master of alchemy. Every magical item he created was a masterpiece among masterpieces. His most famous works included Doctor Strange’s cloak and the boots beneath Li Congxin’s feet.

Yet the most miraculous aspect of the Master Weaver was not his ability to forge equipment. It was that he controlled the Spider Totem!

Through the Spider Totem, the Master Weaver could weave Threads of Fate to guide the growth of every Spider-Man.

It could be said that every Spider-Man across the Parallel Universes had come into existence because of the Master Weaver, and each was connected to him by countless intricate ties.

Impossible to sever, impossible to unravel!

Yet such a great mage had fallen into the hands of the Inheritor Family. They had completely controlled him and turned him into an important tool for hunting Spider-Man.

In the end, although the Spider-Men led by Gwen defeated the Inheritor Family, they failed to save the Master Weaver’s life.

At the final moment of his life, the Master Weaver transferred control of the Spider Totem to Li Congxin’s avatar and entrusted him with taking care of those adorable children.

Li Congxin’s divine-power avatar naturally agreed without hesitation and injected his own divine power into the Spider Totem.

In other words, every Spider-Man was now a host of Li Congxin’s divine power!

The Spider-Men were different from Jean and Wanda. In addition to their outstanding talents, nearly every one of them possessed the protection of a powerful protagonist’s halo.

As the Marvel Universe’s favored sons, their weight in fate was undoubtedly extremely high. With such a special group of divine-power hosts, one could imagine how profound an impact they would have on Li Congxin’s future development.

This was an unbelievable profit!

After obtaining the method of controlling the Spider Totem from his avatar, a thought flashed through Li Congxin’s mind. He immediately discovered countless streams of Cosmic Energy flowing into the Spider Totem through strands of Threads of Fate. After being transformed by the Spider Totem, they became a new form of Vengeance Divine Power unique to Li Congxin!

Completing one mission and gaining countless alternate accounts to help train his power was absolutely something many Multiversal Level bigshots dreamed of.

The Phoenix Force and Chthon had worked desperately for countless tens of thousands of years without accomplishing what Li Congxin had achieved with ease!

Sure enough, the Marvel Multiverse was also a world that judged people by their looks!

Originally, Dong Liu had planned to write the Spider-Verse story in detail. However, through the previous chapters, he discovered that everyone seemed not to be very interested in a story filled with spiders, so he simply abandoned his original plan. But the Spider-Verse story occupied a very important link in the plotline he had designed earlier. After weighing the matter carefully, he decided to gloss over it with a broad stroke. Fortunately, this would not affect the later plot.
