Contrary to what most people imagine, the Life Tribunal is not actually very angry about being coerced... In fact, it is a question whether these conceptual entities will be angry.
At least the Living Tribunal did not hate the immortals. It kept its promise and did not attack the Earth again... In fact, if the Living Tribunal really disregarded its promise and attacked the Earth, there is a way. It can directly use the "script" to let the entire universe attack the Earth. Even if Kamar-Taj and the Great Guardian are powerful, they cannot withstand the endless attack.
But this does not mean that the Life Tribunal will really turn a blind eye to the Earth.
They are conceptual entities, and many of their ideas are very different from material life. They will not rush to retaliate, but will improve little by little according to their own plans.
The Living Tribunal has its own views on Earth.
Indeed, the Earth is no longer within his sphere of influence, but this does not mean that the Living Tribunal is really helpless.
His plan is... to wait for the Earth to destroy itself.
Yes, it’s that simple. Sounds negative, right?
In fact, it was not the case. Although the Living Tribunal could not break through the Great Guardian, he could see the limit of the Great Guardian. Yes, it was the limit.
Ten thousand years may seem like a very long time, but to the Life Tribunal, it is actually very insignificant. The time they have, even if calculated in geological years, is an astronomical figure!
You must know that these conceptual entities exist with the universe, and as long as the universe does not perish, they will not have a so-called end.
How long will it take for the universe to end?
This question...people on Earth have studied it when they have nothing to do.
Modern astronomy shows that the universe has not existed for an infinitely long time. According to the Planck satellite's measurement data of the temperature and polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background radiation, combined with the Λ-cold dark matter model, the current age of the universe is about 138 billion years. So, how long can the universe exist? How long is the life of the universe? As for how long the life of the universe is, we need to know how the universe will end, which is based on how the universe was born and evolved. According to multiple strong and independent evidences, such as the cosmic microwave background radiation, Hubble's law, galaxy evolution, and the abundance of cosmic elements, the universe originated from the Big Bang and expanded from a singularity without time and space. As time goes by, the structure of space itself gradually expands, and the universe becomes larger and larger. Due to the effect of gravity, the rate of space expansion gradually decreases. It was not until about 90 billion years after the Big Bang that the density of matter in the universe (including dark matter and ordinary matter) dropped to a critical point, while dark energy with a negative pressure effect remained basically unchanged. This inherent energy of space played a dominant role and began to drive the accelerated expansion of the universe. Five billion years have passed since then, and the expansion rate of space is still increasing.
How the universe will eventually end depends on how the structure of space evolves. There are three possible ways:
The first type of infinitely accelerated expansion of space: the Big Rip.
If the density of dark energy remains unchanged in the future, the gravity of all things in the universe will not be able to reverse the expansion of space, and the universe will continue to expand at an infinitely accelerated rate. In the distant future, the gravity of galaxies will not be able to bind their own structures, and dark energy will tear the galaxies apart. Next, structures like the solar system will be torn apart, planets will be out of orbit, and the universe will be full of isolated celestial bodies. As space continues to expand at an accelerated rate, gravity will not be able to maintain the structure of stars and planets, and these celestial bodies will be torn into nebulae. Not only gravity, but even the electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force, which are much stronger than gravity, cannot resist dark energy. At the last moment, even the atomic structure will be torn apart by dark energy. According to an estimate by astronomers, the universe may usher in a big rip in about 500 billion years.
The second is heat death, which I won’t talk about.
The third is the repeated collapse and expansion of space: the Big Bounce. If the density of dark energy eventually drops significantly, then gravity will dominate the universe again, which will gradually slow down the expansion of space until it stops expanding completely. Not only that, gravity will also cause the structure of space to begin to shrink, and the universe will soon begin to collapse. Since the universe expanded from a singularity, the end point of the universe's collapse will be a singularity. After the universe collapses into a singularity, it may start a new round of expansion due to quantum effects. In this way, the universe has been in a cycle of singularity-expansion-collapse-singularity, and our current universe is just in one of the stages, which is the Big Bounce. In this sense, the life of the universe is infinite.
The current mainstream prediction of the life span of the universe in the scientific community is that the universe can still exist stably for at least 1400 billion years, which is about 138 times the current age of the universe (10 billion years). This conclusion is based on the observation and analysis of the expansion rate of the universe and the influence of dark energy.
Specifically, the ultimate fate of the universe depends on the nature of dark energy. If the density of dark energy remains unchanged (i.e., the cosmological constant model), the universe will experience a "big rip" ending, and all material structures will be torn apart about 500 billion years later due to the infinitely accelerated expansion of space. But more conservative models believe that the universe will enter a "heat death" stage, and matter will reach thermodynamic equilibrium due to entropy increase. This process takes up to 10^100 years. In addition, a 2024 study proposed, based on international observational data, that the universe is still in a stage of accelerated expansion, but the expansion rate may gradually slow down, so it can exist stably for at least 1400 billion years.
1400 billion years... This number is so huge that most humans have no idea about it.
In short, ten thousand years is nothing to these conceptual entities.
What's more, this number is actually just an estimate made by humans based on the knowledge they know. It is like a blind man touching an elephant. It is impossible to see the whole picture. In fact, the lifespan of the universe is much longer than this!
In fact, the lifespan of the universe is not that fixed. The growth of the universe requires nurturing, and the universe also needs maintenance.
The Life Tribunal believes that the universe needs life in order to grow, and at the same time the universe needs maintenance, which means that life in the universe cannot develop without restraint, just like the resources on a planet are limited. Once the resources are exhausted, the planet will not be far from decline.
The universe and a single planet are naturally different, but the principles are the same.
In short, the universe needs maintenance. If it is well maintained, the life of the universe will be longer. This is also the meaning of the Life Court. It is used by the five gods to maintain the universe. After all, the longer the universe exists, the longer they can exist.
But no matter what, the lifespan of the Earth itself is just that in the eyes of the Life Tribunal.
So the Great Guardian is a great thing in the eyes of Ancient One and others, but to the Living Tribunal... it is also magical, but that's all.
The Celestials are not so easy to destroy. The immortals imprisoned them inside the Great Guardian, which is actually a time bomb in their hearts! It seems to be a very smart move, but in fact, it cannot change the fate of the earth.
The Great Guardian can last for ten thousand years, and then what?
What to do in the next ten thousand years?
If the next ten thousand years can still be maintained... what about the next one? Once the seal fails, the God's appearance will begin immediately. Once the God's appearance is completed, the earth will be destroyed immediately!
He didn't need to take the initiative to deal with the earth at all, because what the immortals had done had already accomplished what he needed to do.
Therefore, the Life Tribunal still kept its promise and did not do anything to the Earth.
Because the earth seems to have gained freedom, but in fact they just took the initiative to set their own destiny.
And here he is, waiting for it.
The time was even earlier than he expected!
Everything is according to plan.
Why was Gel able to pick up the Black Death Sword?
It was arranged by the Living Tribunal, and even the reason why the Black Death Sword was able to escape from Nar's sealed place was also part of the Living Tribunal's plan.
And how did it happen that Ger just happened to learn about the Heart of the Ancient God? And why did he just happen to find the location of the Earth?
In short, all of this was arranged by the Life Court.
However, after Gel entered the Earth, the Living Tribunal could no longer exert its influence.
But it doesn’t matter. The Living Tribunal has plenty of time and patience.
He did not take the initiative to do anything targeting the earth. He just revealed a little bit of appropriate information at the right time.
This stuff is no hassle.
However, things went much more smoothly than expected.
The Celestials are all creations of the Living Tribunal and are the most loyal subordinates of the Living Tribunal.
It's not just because the Life Tribunal is the creator of the Celestial Gods, but also because they completely and wholeheartedly accept the Life Tribunal's views on life and the universe.
They also believe that life must be in order to continue and develop, and the universe needs order.
They are the creators of life and the maintainers of cosmic order.
Therefore, the Living Tribunal has extraordinary control over the Celestial God Group.
The Living Tribunal also sensed it the moment the seal on Earth was broken.
So the Life Tribunal accelerated the appearance of the God Group!
……
Gel was terrified. He originally planned to follow the instructions of the Black Death Sword, destroy the seal, and insert the Black Death Sword into the core of the ancient god. The Black Death Sword would do the rest.
This should have been easy...and it wasn't that hard actually.
The Black Death Sword has killed more than one member of the God Group!
This aspect of the business is very skilled.
After all, after the Celestials' "form" is destroyed, the core will enter a state of unconscious confusion, and the Celestials in this state are at their weakest. Generally speaking, if there are other Celestials nearby, they will directly take away the core and let their compatriots enter the God-manifestation program.
Of course, if there are no compatriots nearby, the core of the God Group will get rid of this chaotic and unconscious state after a period of time. They will follow their instincts and find ways to become gods themselves!
The most typical example is Ego!
That is, Star-Lord's wild father. Strictly speaking, this guy is a member of the Celestials.
It's just that he was unlucky. After he was killed, his compatriots didn't find him. His energy core could only find a way to become a god on his own... But the problem was that the star field he was in at the time was a truly barren star field... Let alone life, there were not even any real planets. In desperation, Ego could only use the surrounding rubble and some other messy materials to form a small planet.
Very mini.
Ego also cultivated life on it... but he couldn't make it into a god.
After all, the planet was very small, and even though Ego had tried very hard, he still couldn't meet the requirements to enter the God-manifestation program... so Ego degenerated.
In other words, every rebirth of the Celestial Gods is equivalent to a new life. If there is not enough energy source, they will be "underdeveloped" and even have other serious consequences!
For example, Ego forgot his origins. He only knew that he was a god, but he didn't know that he was a member of the God Group, nor did he know his responsibilities and mission. He degenerated into a low-level life form full of desires.
It is impossible for the Celestials to acknowledge that such a thing is their compatriot, just like in World of Warcraft, when Sargeras encountered the Star Soul corrupted by the Old Gods. The fact that the Celestials did not clean up the mess like Sargeras did shows that they have good tempers.
In short, that’s when the gods whose bodies were destroyed are at their weakest.
Logically speaking, Gel would not fail.
But don't forget that the Life Tribunal has been watching covetously. It will indeed not take the initiative to attack the Earth, but the agreement does not say that it cannot help the Celestials!
Therefore, this poor core of the God Group, which had been sealed for ten thousand years, suddenly received a large amount of energy infusion as soon as the seal was broken... The God Group has never had only one way to replenish its members, that is, the appearance of God.
Therefore, the group of gods under the great guardian seal woke up quickly!
His consciousness returned immediately, and he saw a low-level life form holding a disgusting weapon and preparing to hurt him.
What else is there to say?
The Celestials have never been benevolent beings. They created life only because of the request of the Life Tribunal. They have no special feelings towards life in the universe, and when it comes to taking action, they are more decisive than anyone else.
So there is no doubt that Gel is in trouble.
Fortunately, this god had been sleeping for too long and was very weak, otherwise Gel would not have been able to escape!
However, Gel is not the only one who is unlucky.
In fact, the first person to suffer was not Gel.
But it is all kinds of monsters and demons that have been attracted to the earth during this period!
The reorganization of the material bodies of the Celestials requires a huge amount of energy. The energy of the Earth all comes from the core of the Celestials. Naturally, it is impossible to reorganize and revive the Celestials in a short time. Therefore, the Life Tribunal used some small means. For example, the energy of those powerful individuals around the Earth is a good supplement.
More importantly, they are close, saving trouble!
A group of evil spirits were eating hotpot and singing songs, and then they were robbed by the Life Court!
