As a double-standard dragon, Shen Mu, while enjoying uninvited visits himself, was very displeased by others' forceful invitations.
Noticing Shen Mu's mood, Oshtur, one of the faces of Vishanti, spoke first: "New God from beyond fate, I apologize for meeting you in this manner!"
A wonderfully kind and loving voice, tinged with a hint of apology, made Shen Mu's displeasure on his face subside slightly.
"Speak! What do you want with me?"
"If it's to give thanks, there's no need, but I believe you wouldn't waste time on such trivial matters!"
Shen Mu very directly laid out the matter!
Because he knew that these old-fashioned beings liked to ramble on with a lot of nonsense before getting to the point.
So this time, Shen Mu took the initiative, directly cutting off most of their upcoming words.
For seasoned Multiverse-level powerhouses like Vishanti, if any being had dared to speak to them like that in the past, they would have certainly been taught what reverence meant.
However, Shen Mu's strength and his potential, which exceeded their predictions, made them tolerate his impudence.
"In fact, we discovered you the moment you appeared in this Universe!"
"At first, we thought you were merely a miracle born by chance within the Universe. You should know that, over the billions of years of the entire Universe, the miracles that have been born are not uncommon."
"However, we all greatly underestimated you. Your growth is enough to astound all Cosmic Gods."
"Aside from those Gods who were born divine, you are the only being who has crossed the divine boundary in such a short time."
Oshtur described to Shen Mu with an astonished expression how miraculous he was.
However, Shen Mu didn't feel much about it.
After all, he had a system that allowed him to traverse the infinite Multiverse at will to acquire good things that didn't belong to this Universe. If his growth were any slower, he would truly have to apologize for being too useless!
"So, you brought me here just to let me understand how great I am?"
"If there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving!"
While receiving praise from others was indeed a secretly satisfying thing, being boasted about to his face still made Shen Mu a bit embarrassed.
"Please wait, Sir Shen Mu!"
"This time, we want to invite you to join our Supreme Dimension."
Seeing Shen Mu make a move to leave, the ancient God Hoggoth, in the form of a large tiger, spoke.
"Sorry, I'm used to my freedom and have no intention of joining any faction."
Hearing this, Shen Mu refused without thinking, as with his current strength, he could easily establish his own faction.
There was no need to join another's faction and become a subordinate existence.
And he hadn't forgotten that he still had an Elven Kingdom as his back garden!
"Sir Shen Mu, Hoggoth didn't mean that. We want to form an alliance with you to jointly deal with anything that might happen in the future."
Agamotto immediately spoke up when he saw Shen Mu wanted to leave.
Shen Mu was a bit curious: "An ally? You are already at the pinnacle of the Multiverse. What enemy could possibly threaten you?"
"It all starts from Earth's ancient times!"
This time, it was Oshtur, the oldest, most powerful, and most benevolent of the three, who spoke.
Shen Mu knew he could listen to a story again, so he dispelled the idea of leaving.
Before transmigrating, although he had some understanding of the Marvel Universe, it wasn't extensive, and most of it was based on learning about a character's background after seeing them in a movie.
So now, being able to personally hear this ancient God recount the secrets of ancient times, Shen Mu showed great interest.
At this point, Oshtur continued to slowly narrate:
"Four billion years ago, the Creator bestowed His power upon the primitive life on Earth, giving rise to the first batch of ancient Gods, and I was one of them."
"In the beginning, the ancient Gods were all very friendly with each other. Although powerful, there weren't many disputes."
"However, everything changed after Set devoured the first ancient God, Hyppus."
As Oshtur narrated, Shen Mu seemed to see the scenes of the ancient God wars that took place on the primitive Earth.
"At first, Set hunted other ancient Gods, and gradually, other ancient Gods discovered that Set's power began to grow rapidly. Upon investigation, they learned that devouring other ancient Gods allowed one to possess a portion of their power."
"This method of power enhancement was far too easy compared to cultivating on one's own!"
"So after that, one ancient God after another fell into depravity, becoming demon Gods, and began to join this hunt."
"And it was at that time that I left the primitive Earth to wander the Universe, to escape Set and Chthon."
"During my travels, I also met Hoggoth. We explored the Universe together, and finally, we discovered the current Supreme Dimension, so we stayed here."
Oshtur's face held a look of reminiscence.
"On the primitive Earth, the slaughter and devouring among the ancient Gods continued."
"This fratricidal struggle among the ancient Gods lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. The two most powerful demon Gods among them were the Serpent God Set and the Underworld God Chthon. Finally, the ancient God Gaia could no longer bear to watch the remaining few benevolent ancient Gods suffer."
"She summoned the Creator through a secret art and, combining with Him, gave birth to the New God Atum."
"Atum's mission was to end this chaotic war among the ancient Gods. Every demon God defeated by Atum would have all their power taken away."
"Soon, as many fallen demon Gods were defeated and absorbed by Atum, this allowed Atum to quickly gain immense power, surpassing all demon Gods in one fell swoop."
"However, after absorbing the power of many demon Gods, Atum was also gradually influenced, eventually completely turning to the Shadow, becoming the God Eater that all ancient Gods feared."
"At that time, the fallen demon Gods led by Set and Chthon began to flee Earth to other dimensions to escape Atum's pursuit."
"And Atum, after completing his mission, could no longer bear his own power and eventually flew into the Sun and perished."
"After Atum's death, his scattered divine power, after countless years of evolution, eventually gave birth to a new generation of Gods, but their power was significantly weaker than that of the ancient Gods."
"Hoggoth and I returned to Earth ten thousand years ago, and after seeing its new appearance, I shed tears of joy. From my tears, my child Agamotto was born."
"After guarding Earth for some years, he returned with us to the Supreme Dimension, and together, we formed the Vishanti trinity."
Oshtur recounted their Origin story to Shen Mu.
"I've heard the story. Now, tell me why you want to form an alliance with me. I imagine, with your strength, you wouldn't need to fear any threat!"
After all, seasoned Gods like Vishanti were among the select few at the pinnacle of the Multiverse, and any opponent capable of threatening them would not be someone Shen Mu could deal with.
Thus, Shen Mu posed this question.
