Chapter 439: Odin's Name
All the rivers converged directly below the stems of the trees, and the next moment, they merged into a spiritual spring under the action of snowflakes, clean and bright, clear to the bottom, and shining with streamers!
In Ye Kong's field of vision, the spring water was very dazzling white, more pure and whiter than the stems above, more flawless, and more dazzling!
The white shine is almost the sun, and people can't open their eyes!
However, Ye Kong's eyes didn't feel 'pain'.
It stands to reason that if you look directly at the sun-like existence, your eyes will not be able to bear it, and your eyes will not hurt or itch, you just feel that the other party is very white, and there is no sensory abnormality!
Regarding this, Ye Kong felt strange.
However, when he saw the 'Ye Kong' in front of him, who was closing his eyes, he understood in his heart - could it be that I look at things in my current state, and there will be no sensory stimulation?
Well......
This explanation is very reasonable.
Ye Kong unconsciously touched his chin, but found that his fingers were through his cheek, and sure enough, his form was more similar to a spirit body, and the sight he saw had nothing to do with his eyes, in view of this, Ye Kong named it 'Spirit Vision'.
Spiritual vision, an ability that appeared inexplicably, should be the influence of the "Mirror Moon Breathing Method", which resonated with the spiritual root of the Thousand Worlds Tree, and in the chemical reaction between the two, Ye Kong turned on the spiritual vision state.
"As for the principle of vision, why is it black and white? What are the benefits of utilizing it? The system doesn't give a hint at all, how do I figure it out? ”
"Looks like this matter is on the back burner for the time being......"
Ye Kong didn't dwell on the spiritual vision for too long, and there was a more serious problem waiting for him to solve: "Judging from the results, the spiritual root of the Thousand Worlds Tree has completely recovered, and all the streams have converged at the bottom of it, forming the spring that the Sword Master said - the Wisdom Spiritual Spring!" ”
At this time, Ye Kong used the scanning of his spiritual vision to find that the monsters nearby had stopped breathing one by one, facing the spiritual spring in the center, and bowed their heads and saluted!
This is......
Ye Kong looked up again, and the original stems had already separated into a large opening unconsciously, and a rhizome the size of a mountain was exposed in the center, which was even larger than the other rhizomes. Moreover, its body surface is covered with a layer of bizarre colors mixed with black and white!
This is the first mixed color seen in Ye Kong's field of vision, although its tone is still black and white, it also shows its extraordinary—obviously, that rhizome is the spiritual root of the Thousand Worlds Tree!
A true spiritual root!
"The Spiritual Root of the Thousand Worlds Tree......
Ye Kong took a deep look at it, and the next moment, he looked at the Wisdom Spirit Spring again, and found that there was a stone tablet erected next to it, because it was a dead thing, the stone tablet was pure black, but the font on it was actually ....... Snow white?
It's the same color as the snowflakes in the sky!
Ye Kong didn't care about other things, and looked at the font intently, it turned out to be an ancient sacrificial language, and the translation was a long record of the epic-
Odin, the great Lord of Thunder, the ruler of all things in the world, and the titular leader of the gods, once came to the place where the first life was conceived, the first tree of a thousand worlds to support the sky, Igtesi. Then, at the bottom of the Thousand Worlds Tree, Odin found the spiritual spring that contains the wisdom of the world, the Fountain of Mimir.
As long as Odin drinks it, he can have unimaginable wisdom, comprehend all languages, comprehend all truths, comprehend all martial arts! No one is his opponent anymore!
But at the edge of the Mimir Springs stands the mighty Frost Lord Skadi, the object of worship of the Frost Giants, the Lord God of the Blizzard Sercia, and the symbol of all cold!
In front of him, even if he is as strong as Odin, he can't be sideways, but fortunately, Skadi is not absolutely ruthless, after all, he is not a god of despair, and he does not need to be completely iron-faced.
So, Skadi agreed to Odin's request, but put forward one condition: Odin wanted Mimir Spring water, and he had to pass His test.
The specific content of the test is to make Odin hang upside down at the bottom of the Thousand Worlds Tree Igtesi, without eating or drinking, for nine days and nine nights, and recite the rune of Rune at every moment to bless the foundation of the Thousand Worlds Tree.
Odin had no other choice but to accept His test.
For the next nine days and nine nights, Odin hung upside down at the bottom of the Thousand Worlds Tree, not eating or drinking, chanting the runes of Rune day and night, and constantly blessed the Thousand Worlds Tree with powers. Finally, Odin survived an extraordinarily long nine days and completed Skadi's test.
At this time, the root of the tree where Odin was hanging also absorbed a trace of his majestic divine power, and it actually grew into the largest stem of the Thousand Worlds Tree.
From then on, that stem was called the spiritual root.
Exhausted, Odin finally got Skadi's approval, so Skadi took out a golden cup and told Odin that it was the "Giara Horn Cup", which was used to hold spring water, or other nothingness.
The water of the Mimir spring is very special, and everyone can see it, but they cannot touch its form, and the "Giara Horn Cup" is needed as a medium to extract the spring water.
So, Odin thanked Skadi and was about to take the golden cup, but Skadi stopped him again: "Wait, this cup symbolizes the truth of the world, and you must pay an eye as the price for obtaining it." ”
Without hesitation, Odin immediately gouged out his left eye and handed it to Skadi, who threw Odin's left eye into the "Giara Horn Cup", and suddenly, the whole cup bloomed with white light, as strong as day!
After this toss, Odin finally got the cup, and when he bent down to get the spring, the eyeball in the cup slipped into the depths of the spring and disappeared, but Odin also obtained the wisdom spring, and it was better to gain than to lose.
After Odin drank the spring water, he immediately attained supreme wisdom, and in honor of the new life, Odin gave himself another name - 'Jupiter', which means pleasant, representing the joy of the new life!
The whole document ended here, but Ye Kong fell into deep thought.
Jupiter .......
It turned out to be Odin's pseudonym!
Ye Kong had a sudden realization.
At the beginning, the illusion he saw in the city of Hus was the figure of Jupiter and Prometheus, the master of wisdom. Now it seems that the contradiction between the two may have been buried a long time ago, such as the role of the wisdom spring, which should make Jupiter ....... No, it should be said that Odin, who has the ability to intervene in 'wisdom'!
So, He and Prometheus became incompatible!
But.......
Ye Kong turned his head to look at the monsters, if what the sacrifice said was true, then, Ye Kong would not be able to touch the wisdom spring, if it lacked the legendary "Jiara Horn Cup", all creatures would not be able to touch it.
The monsters didn't come forward to lick the spring water, I'm afraid that's the reason.
"Is it possible, I want to look at the spring water to participate in the transfer of jobs, and my exclusive system?"
Ye Kong smiled bitterly, this is too difficult for a strong person.
Who knows, how long will he be looking at the spring? Need an hour?
Or an afternoon?
Or half a day? Or a month?
Judging from the situation of the spring, even Odin had to be 'hung' for nine days before he could pass Skadi's test.
Ye Kong could not be less than nine days.
So........
Just when Ye Kong was full of entanglement, suddenly, the spiritual root seemed to be alive, and took the initiative to extend downward, little by little, the top of the huge rhizome was facing the spiritual spring, and the next moment, the spiritual root was actually forced-
Syllable!
Spiritual root into the spring!
Wow!
Pieces of epidermis peeled off from the spiritual root and slowly dissolved in the spring water, and a large number of white light spots escaped, gathering around the center!
In Ye Kong's field of vision, the white color in the center of the spiritual root became even more intense, and a white object slowly took shape......... With an inexplicable sense of familiarity!
"It's ....... This is! ”
Ye Kong's pupils shrank suddenly.
Because.......
The shape of that white object.
He had met once in the temple of Medusa!
Precisely.......
A golden cup that once held the dew of the moon!
PS: The allusion of Odin taking the eye and holding the cup, taken from Norse mythology, but the object has been slightly changed, which is generally the same as the original book, well, and the upside-down thing, I have also slightly modified the order.
This is a myth of secondary creation, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand Norse mythology, it's all changed anyway, and it's different from the story of the original book, only some immediate sense remains.
