For a long time, Tony scratched his head, unable to decide what to do.
Upon receiving the answer, Tony almost couldn't help but immediately ask Lin Feng for help.
To ask Lin Feng to resurrect his parents.
But resurrection, no matter how you think about it, was unbelievable and went against natural development.
Tony considered many things.
If Lin Feng could resurrect his parents, he could resurrect other relatives.
If such a thing were to spread, Lin Feng would undoubtedly be placed on a moral pedestal.
He could foresee a massive outpouring of public opinion and a breakdown of order.
Public opinion would divide into at least two factions.
Those who broke the natural order would become outcasts.
And the other faction would question Lin Feng, asking why he only resurrected Tony's parents.
Human nature was terrifying, especially when it involved personal interests.
Even if the Howards lived a quiet, reclusive life after their resurrection, who could guarantee they wouldn't be discovered?
That would cause immense trouble for Lin Feng, and if not handled properly, the world could descend into chaos!
This was no mere alarmist talk!
Tony voiced the concerns he could currently think of.
There were other consequences that couldn't be immediately visualized, but none would be more severe than the world falling into chaos.
Facing Tony's worries, Lin Feng waved his hand dismissively.
"I understand all these concerns you have!"
"Didn't I just tell you about the six Infinity Stones?"
"If your parents are actually discovered, I can make them selectively forget!"
Before he could finish, Tony interrupted Lin Feng.
"That's the problem!"
"The Infinity Stones are powerful, but such things, if used frequently, would inevitably disrupt the natural development of the universe!"
Tony looked at Lin Feng meaningfully and continued, "Besides, snapping your fingers isn't that easy, is it..."
Lin Feng selectively hid the drawbacks of using the Infinity Stones.
But with Tony's intelligence, he could figure it out almost instantly.
How could something that defied nature and the laws of time have no repercussions?
Lin Feng rolled his eyes.
When did Teacher Tony become so dramatic?
Indeed, snapping fingers wasn't easy, but it depended on who was doing it!
However, Lin Feng also knew Tony was looking out for him.
He clearly didn't want the resurrection of his parents to bring him risk!
Although Teacher Tony might seem unreliable on the surface, his moral compass was generally sound!
"You don't need to worry about that!"
"Snapping my fingers has almost no burden for me."
"Even if I were to create a parallel universe, it wouldn't be a significant issue, just a bit troublesome!"
"It's just resurrecting two people, Tony, don't make it sound so complicated!"
Lin Feng said with feigned ease, trying to comfort him.
It wasn't entirely feigned, though.
With the Infinity Stones and a multiverse-level Silver Superman as a backup, resurrecting two people? It was incredibly simple.
Lin Feng believed Tony would most likely choose to have his parents resurrected.
Because it was the simplest, most direct, and effective method. After all, even if he went back in time, he couldn't intervene in Howard's death.
If Lin Feng were to help Tony interfere with that event, it would undoubtedly lead to the birth of a parallel universe.
In that case, why not choose the simple and crude method of resurrecting the old couple?
After some thought, Lin Feng added, "And as I said, you don't need to worry too much about the resurrection having too great an impact on the future."
"Everything is under control!"
Lin Feng wouldn't exaggerate, and Tony knew that, so he became even more tempted.
"Can I see them first? I want to talk to them first!" Tony requested.
Although Tony felt that no one would refuse such a tempting offer as resurrection.
He still decided to talk to the old couple first, if Lin Feng could make it happen.
This was clearly not a difficult task for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's eyebrows rose. "Of course!"
He said, raising his left hand, "Now?"
"No, no, no, wait a moment!" Tony suddenly stopped him.
"Give me two minutes, Lin!"
With that, Tony ran out.
Lin Feng stood with his hand raised, looking confused. What was this guy doing?
Going for psychological preparation?
Alright.
Lin Feng understood. After all, they were his parents whom he hadn't seen in many years, and they were the type to be tight-lipped about their feelings when they were alive.
He would give Tony some time...
Lin Feng chuckled and walked to the wine cabinet, grabbing a good bottle of wine as a thirst quencher.
However, Tony's actions also reminded Lin Feng of his own parents.
After so many years of growth, Lin Feng had considered searching for his parents.
But there wasn't a single trace on him that could lead to any clues.
The only things his parents had left him were a small bundle of blankets and a piece of paper with the name Lin Feng written on it.
From this information, his parents should be alive.
And he had kept that piece of paper all along.
However, finding his parents based on handwriting?
At that time, Lin Feng clearly lacked the ability and resources!
But now that he had the corresponding abilities, Lin Feng couldn't help but have that thought again.
He wanted to know why his parents had abandoned him back then.
While Lin Feng was lost in thought about his own affairs, Tony returned.
Good heavens, he had gone to tidy up his appearance...
His previously stubbled face was now neatly groomed.
He had also changed into a tidy outfit.
"You've thought this through quite well!" Lin Feng teased.
He knew Tony was definitely a bit nervous now.
"Heh heh." Tony smiled, his face filled with irrepressible joy and a hint of awkwardness.
The years had bestowed Tony with a mature demeanor.
His immense achievements allowed him to display confidence, even arrogance, in front of everyone.
However, when facing his parents, Tony longed more than ever for words of affirmation and praise...
After a few witty exchanges with Lin Feng, Tony became impatient.
He took a deep breath, gathered himself, and put on a solemn expression.
"Lin, I'm ready!"
As he spoke, Tony also spread his arms.
Lin Feng couldn't help but pucker his lips. "What are you doing, planning to get frisky?"
Tony: ???
Tony was momentarily speechless...
Could you not do that? I just worked up the right emotions...
"Don't look at me like that... It was just a joke."
Lin Feng smiled, disrupting Tony's rhythm and making him feel more relaxed.
The Infinity Stones glowed, and the light conjured two figures in mid-air.
To Tony's astonishment, the souls of the elderly couple instantly appeared in Tony's room.
His father, Howard, was dressed in a suit, his hair white, but radiating the same confident aura as Tony.
His mother, Maria, appeared elegant and noble, exuding the air of a lady.
Upon seeing them, Tony was overwhelmed with emotion.
He was even dazed, as Howard and Maria were wearing the same attire they had on when they last left...
The two spectral figures opened their eyes, looking around in confusion, seemingly not understanding why they were in this place.
Then, their gazes settled on Tony's face.
"You are..."
"Tony???"
Maria squinted, trying to discern him for a long time, and with surprise, called out uncertainly.
"How are you..."
Maria pursed her lips. The Tony before her was already middle-aged.
But Maria still recognized her son; after all, mother and son shared a bond.
Instantly, the old mother's heart ached.
Memories of the past flooded back.
Right, they were dead...
Seeing the middle-aged Tony now further confirmed this information.
Tony, too, parted his lips, intending to smile, but instead, he nearly choked out a sob.
