Jiuye hung on a tree swaying in the strong wind and was stabbed by a spear...

Sacrifice yourself to yourself, on the big tree that no one knows...

——"Poetic Edda"

…………

In the distant past of the Nordic world, there once existed a fountain of wisdom.

It is located in Jotunheim, the residence of the giants, next to the second root of the world tree Yggdrasil. The person who guards this spring is Mimir, so it is named after it.

When the gods did not dare to approach, the king of the Asaph clan sacrificed his right eye to connect himself to the spring of Mimir, because that eye had been immersed in the spring of wisdom, which was equivalent to

Through sacrifice, he gained unparalleled wisdom and insight, so he could gain a glimpse of all destiny and eternal knowledge.

Then……

This great god-king also learned a huge secret.

This secret made Queen Frigga feel extremely worried, and she became taciturn, sitting in front of the spinning wheel all day spinning the mysterious golden thread. This secret also made the God King worried about it, and he tried his best to postpone the arrival of that day.

, while trying to find hope that can counteract fate.

The God-King spares no effort to enhance her own power. Through the Fountain of Mimir and the one eye immersed in the spring, the wisdom and insight she obtains are almost infinite. She is the all-seeing one who can see everything, so she is not only

Being able to grasp what happened in the past and what will happen in the future...

She can even know things that have never happened in the past and will not appear in the future.

then.

Through a mysterious omen that has not been recorded by time and does not know when it happened——

Odin noticed that even the gods did not know, did not realize, and could not understand the existence of the secrets of the universe... Only truly powerful knowledge usually had to be obtained at the expense of sacrifice, especially for those who were not even gods.

This is often the case with knowledge that should be acquired.

I can't even find the sacrifice...

Because there are no sacrifices that meet this specification among the nine realms, not even the gods...

Only the God King himself was stabbed with a spear, declared in his own name, offered himself as a sacrifice, and used the World Tree as a horse to ride on the universe... After nine days and nine nights of this ceremony, almost everyone

Only when the King of Gods was sacrificed together with the cornerstone of the entire Nordic world could he meet the requirements.

However……

Destiny is not accidental, but a matter of choice.

A three-color rainbow bridge composed of ice, fire and atmosphere spans the void.

The strong wind blows endlessly against the World Tree. It is so fierce that it sweeps across the endless void, like an endless thunder, an almost endless and endless storm.

But compared to Yuctra Hill, whose leaves are always green, whose branches support the weight of the universe, and whose roots run through the whole world - for this tree that sprouted in the "past", flourishes in the "present", and extends to infinity.

"Future" in terms of the huge majestic ash tree.

But it can only be regarded as a swaying wind.

The mighty and endless wind rustled the World Tree, and the lush branches and leaves were as tall as a canopy, and they also swept up waves of ripples. Infinity was hidden in every gap on the branches, leaves and buds.

, a corner of the branches and leaves that are slightly blown by the wind can always reveal the many stars and the universe looming inside.

——This dream again...

——Like some kind of emotion, but also like a simple thought that flashed across...

The invisible ghost quietly watched this scene from a distance, quietly watching everything develop downwards, but it had neither feeling nor consciousness about it. It seemed that thinking and feelings had disappeared, and it seemed that it had lost the name "

The concept of "self" is, after all, just an invisible, ghostly existence, so it only exists here without any purpose.

From an absolute observer's perspective, I saw and heard what happened in this place.

In other words, it was something that happened before...

Just watching again and again, just watching...

Again and again, again and again, this recurring dream is monotonous and boring, just repeating the endless reincarnation. It is like being in a dream, repeating again and again.

Dreaming the same dream again, dreaming about the same thing.

The ghost who foresaw the outcome was an irresponsible god who knew everything but did nothing.

I have no expectations, no hopes, and no opinions.

How many times has such an unchanging reincarnation been repeated so far? He did not answer this question, not because he did not know, but because he did not calculate, and probably felt that it was not necessary. Because no matter how many times it is

Well, he will be neither amused nor bored.

Just like you don't know why you are here.

Ah, precisely because all meaning does not exist, it is enough to simply "exist".

So...the invisible ghost who does not belong to this time and space is just quietly watching the "story" play out again.

The strong wind howled, and the great god hanging upside down on the tree had obviously become weaker. Blood was dripping from the shining wound on the god's body, and the brilliant divine radiance still contained it, as if it was going to shine through the entire body.

The sky and the earth distort light and time.

Even though it has become dim now, it is still hotter and more dazzling than a million suns put together.

The dripping divine blood penetrates the deep light-year distance.

The roots, branches and leaves of the World Tree were also contaminated.

The dripping divine blood is burning and glowing all the time, as if it is eroding through reality, and spreading on the timeline creates countless possibilities. A new world sprouts from the blood every moment, but equally every time

Every moment, different worlds disappear and dissolve in the blood.

--coming.

——This is the time.

The invisible, ghost-like existence just watched quietly, already knowing the outcome of all this, just like it had seen it countless times before.

The next moment, this nine-day and nine-night ritual finally reached its end.

After being watered by the divine blood for almost nine days and nine nights, the entire tree began to glow. The great god hanging upside down on the tree noticed this in his daze and shouted excitedly.

She struggled to look below the extremely huge World Tree, and finally saw the ultimate wisdom she was pursuing.

The divine blood on the stem and branches was glowing, mixing with the leaves and buds.

Together with the World Tree, which runs through the nine realms and supports countless time, space and stars, it seems to be slowly becoming distorted and abstract——

Along with the infinity hidden in it, all the tangible and intangible phenomena in the numerous universes have been inexplicably disturbed. Those secret numbers, constants, concepts, and even logical conclusions of nothingness cannot be described by any rhetoric.

Something like an anomalous law that can be expressed obscurely through suggestion...

At this moment, it was deduced in an extremely intuitive way.

In other words, it is embodied as a great collection.

The measure that determines everything, the power that defines everything, maintains everything under the One... They are burning and glowing, turning into abstract and twisted mysterious symbols... That truly exhausts the secrets of the universe, and is almost omnipotent.

The origin of the runes that cannot.

The great god hanging upside down on the tree was so excited that he shouted ecstatically...

Shouting...

Then, it suddenly stopped without warning.

The great god's one eye suddenly looked into the empty void, seeming to be looking at an invisible ghost that should not exist, and also seemed to see the face behind the ghost that was beyond comprehension, the endless faces, and the ghost was far away.

It cannot represent everything, and it does not show the full picture of the invisible and huge things behind it.

The one-eyed God King seemed to be confused, and then he showed a bit of astonishment and astonishment, as if he had seen something extremely unbelievable. After being confused, he fell into a long silence.

for a long time……

for a long time……

In the long and almost despairing silence, there was only the sound of the strong wind between the sky and the earth.

"It turns out, it turns out that this is the case...Is this also fate..."

Suddenly, it seemed that he finally realized something. The God King laughed silently, and the laughter became louder and louder. Even his perfect and powerful body full of divine blood began to tremble crazily. His whole body

There is almost a sense of madness.

In the almost manic laughter, the God King closed one eye in pain, and squeezed out the trembling and angry words from her throat——

"Regaruk..."

"Norse mythology still has more space, at least one-third alone..."

"What's left is divided into different sects and myths, which together account for two-thirds of the remaining..."
