In this spatial tunnel where it is impossible to distinguish between up and down, left and right, Lu Xiao can only record his fall time through the Time Recording function of Focus.

No more, no less, exactly 30 minutes and 15 seconds, Lu Xiao finally rushed out of the monotonous space tunnel.

"Boom!"

Landing steadily, Lu Xiao made a heavy sound different from falling into the ground when he stepped on the ground.

This regularly undulating ground is made of wood and covers an extremely large area.

Lu Xiao saw the distant scenery in the air, these woods should be the roots of the World Tree, descending from east to west.

"It turns out that the World Tree really exists, and I thought that the so-called World Tree was just a special system that connected nine parallel worlds."

Lu Xiao's golden eyes turned into a distant sky, and a huge tree trunk with no head in sight stood at the far end of the horizon.

Legend has it that Nidhogg stayed at the roots of the World Tree to eat its roots in order to corrode the World Tree.

This spectacular scene in front of him made Lu Xiao doubt the authenticity of the legend: "How old does Nidhogg have to grow to bite off the roots of a tree in his lifetime?" ”

"Hehe~"

Mocking laughter came from a distance behind Lu Xiao: "I don't want to eat this dry and nutritious thing, I'm just absorbing the magic of the World Tree." ”

"Whew!"

A violent sound of breaking wind came from afar, and a black dragon more than three times larger than Faffnir glided in the distance.

"Boom!"

The huge black dragon fell heavily to the ground, slowly walked in front of Lu Xiao, lowered his head and looked at him with vertical pupils.

"Sure enough, although it is not the bloodline of our Western dragons, you do have the dragon factor in your body."

The air naturally erupted from the nostrils of the black dragon that made Lu Xiao almost blown away.

"Nidhogg?"

"It's me."

"What, can you keep a safe distance? I'm worried that you'll be sprayed to the sky in one go. ”

"Hum Hum Hum ~"

Perhaps it was because he hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, but Nidhogg was in a good mood, and Lu Xiao's half-joking words made him let out a low, happy laugh.

"Smack~"

Lying on the ground with his front paws folded, Nidhogg rested his head on it, turning his head slightly to the side without nostrils facing Lu Xiao.

"Is that okay?"

Lu Xiao sat cross-legged in front of Nidhogg, raised his head and looked at his left eye and asked, "Nidhogg, I don't like to beat around the bush, so I asked directly." ”

"Why did you invite me to the root of the World Tree?"

"Before answering your question."

Nidhogg asked meaningfully, "What do you think of the infinite reincarnation of the Nine Realms?" ”

Lu Xiao's face showed a look of astonishment: "You know? ”

"Heh~ Of course I know."

"The reincarnation is within the Nine Realms within the World Tree, and the root part is not so strongly affected."

"Although I will also be restricted by the rules of reincarnation, my memory is not deliberately blocked, and the memory of each reincarnation is retained."

Lu Xiao asked out of pure curiosity: "How many times have the Nine Realms been reincarnated in Ragnarok?" ”

"Let me think about it."

Nidhogg's eyes flashed with remembrance: "It seems to be ...... 215 times? ”

“…… Ha? ”

Ragnarok is a reincarnation in thousand-year units, and Lu Xiao's expected answer in his heart is more than a dozen times, at most thirty times, and Nidhogg's answer is far beyond his expectations.

"So many?! How did you, who have retained all your memories, survive in the world of infinite reincarnation? ”

Nidhogg said disapprenously: "World reincarnation has little to do with me, anyway, whether it is reincarnation or not, I live here to absorb energy." ”

"Recently, though, I've been getting tired of living in a cookie-cutter way, and I'm hoping to find a new thrill."

"That's why I invited you over, I hope you can break the cycle of Ragnarok and welcome the arrival of an unknown new world."

Lu Xiao speculated that the so-called new world does not exist in the world tree.

This Mother Tree nourishes the beings of the Nine Realms, but it also brings a lot of troubles and problems to the Nine Realms, with both advantages and disadvantages.

Lu Xiao still doesn't know why the reincarnation of the Nine Realms was started, and his question has been answered here in Nidhogg.

"Ragnarok means the end of the World Tree and the decline of the gods, and the new world will be dominated by mortals."

"Just as Odin is reluctant to give up his dominion over the Nine Realms, the World Tree Consciousness that has initially sprouted spiritual intelligence doesn't want to disappear so soon."

"Driven by petty selfishness, the World Tree focuses on Ragnarok, which leads to its own destruction, and an infinite cycle between the period when it first sprouted its sapience."

It is nothing new for the world to generate consciousness, and Gaia in the world of the moon is a similar existence.

It is the instinct of all living beings to maintain their own survival, and it was this idea that was first born from the immature World Tree, which led to the infinite reincarnation within the World Tree system.

Lu Xiao rubbed her eyebrows thoughtfully: "Do you have a way to end the reincarnation of the world?" ”

"Yes." Nidhogg quipped, "But I guess you have your own plans, so I won't talk about it here." ”

Just as Ymir's divine body and soul will turn into nutrients that nourish all things, even if the World Tree is reluctant, the creatures that inhabit the Nine Realms will eventually need to move forward and leave the cradle of the Mother Tree.

Being trapped in a closed-loop time structure will only turn the Nine Realms into a pool of stagnant water that cannot flow, and sooner or later more serious problems will arise.

"Nidhogg, will you help us?"

Lu Xiao sincerely assured the huge black dragon: "As long as I can defeat the overly controlling Odin, I promise to break the time loop of the World Tree." ”

"In order to achieve this goal, we need more assistance."

"Hmmm......"

Nidhogg hesitated: "I ......"

"Buzz~Buzz~"

The sound of cicada-like wings flapping came from Lu Xiao and Nidhogg's heads.

"Hey~ Sure enough, this time it came."

Nidhogg shook his head helplessly, sat up straight and took a deep breath.

Red-black dragon's breath flames erupted from his mouth, turning all the uninvited guests into ashes.

Lu Xiao saw the body of those attackers in a flash: "That's not ......"

"Yes, light elves."

Having eliminated a wave of enemies, Nidhogg did not sit back on the ground, and continued to look high in the sky and explain: "Every time they reincarnate, they will find me. ”

"They say that they are trying to purify the thick sores of the World Tree, but in fact, they are just trying to monopolize the energetic magic nodes at the roots of the World Tree."

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows, it was the first time he had heard that the light elf had taken the initiative to pursue something.

"Does Odin know about this?"

"Of course not."

The second wave of light elves was coming, and Nidhogg hooked the corners of his mouth: "With Odin's greedy nature, once he knows that the roots of the World Tree have inexhaustible magical power, he will definitely find a way to take it for himself." ”

"Every time the reincarnation light elves hide Odin's actions, this time there seems to be some problems within them, and the frequency of attacks has decreased significantly."

'Light Elf, Variable, Kratos...... I get it. ’

Just when Lu Xiao thought that this reincarnation could easily defeat the light elves, hundreds of light elves with wings on their backs escorted a beam of pure light and a strange device to approach from above.

Nidhogg was a little stunned: "No, the Eternal Light has moved out, I've never seen this before. ”
