Chapter 258: Searching for the Thunder of Destruction
As the only being in Asgard who has ruled the Nine Realms for 100,000 years and has actually seen the World Tree for so many years, Odin is definitely the most likely existence in the world to know the whereabouts of the World Tree.
Nodding, Gu Chongyan said truthfully: "Yes, I don't know if His Majesty the God King can solve my doubts?" ”
Odin shook his head, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, although I have ruled Asgard for more than 100,000 years, and I know many secrets that others don't know, but I don't include the Thunder of Destruction. ”
Gu Chongyan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, a little surprised by this answer, and even wondered if Odin deliberately didn't want to tell him this.
As if to see Gu Chongyan's thoughts, Odin said, "Since you have taken over the position of the Ancient One, you should know something about the four ancient gods, right?" ”
"Wait, I didn't take over the position of Supreme Mage, I'm just helping the Ancient One Master cultivate an heir to take care of her temporarily, and the matter of Kama Taj is still up to them."
"However, what did His Majesty Odin do when he mentioned the four ancient gods, could it be that the Thunder of Destruction has something to do with them?" Gu Chongyan asked.
Odin nodded, "To be exact, it has something to do with Seth. ”
"Seth?" Gu Chongyan frowned slightly.
Odin explained, "The World Tree is a special case in the universe, and it is not only Asgard that is related to it, but also the four ancient gods. ”
"To be precise, the World Tree was conceived by the four ancient gods."
"The Four Ancient Gods?" Gu Chongyan was shocked in his heart, and his brows furrowed more and more, he hadn't seen these contents from the previous years.
But also, the four ancient gods are as strong as the five gods of Marvel, and there are really traces of them, and they are not something that they can see now.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Gu Chongyan looked at Odin and motioned for him to continue.
Seeing this, Odin continued: "The World Tree is a physical force left over from the last epoch, and initially, the four old gods all hoped to obtain its power, but due to the appearance of the godslayer, the four old gods fled the earth one after another. ”
"However, before that, they were still unwilling to give up the power of the World Tree, but because of the God Killers and their consideration for each other, they chose to jointly nurture the World Tree, and use the World Tree to run through the Nine Realms and become the central force of the convergence of the universe dimension."
"In this way, even if they leave the current dimension, as long as the World Tree is still there, they can return to Earth through the connection of the dimension."
"The reason why the Earth has become the center of the intersection of countless dimensions is also because of this."
Gu Chongyan nodded and did not interject.
Odin was not surprised to see him, looked at him in some surprise, and continued.
"Among the four ancient gods, the most cunning is the snake god Seth, who left his power on the World Tree before escaping the Earth, trying to give birth to the existence of the World Tree and swallow the power of the World Tree alone."
"However, Seth underestimated the World Tree, a product of the last era and the power of the four ancient gods, the World Tree has long become an extremely special force in the universe."
"Therefore, although Seth left his power, he was divided into two strands by the World Tree."
"After a divine power integrated into Asgard, he stripped away the chaotic attributes that belonged to Seth and became my big brother Kull."
"And this?" Gu Chongyan was really surprised, he didn't expect the big snake to have such an identity.
But if you think about it carefully, there are many gods in Asgard, and none of the Odin family has an inhuman form except for Loki, the adopted son, but Kull alone is an earthly python, so it is really possible.
Odin nodded, "In addition to my eldest brother, another force that inherited Seth's nature became the poison dragon Nidhogg among the Seven Sons of Seth. ”
"He was born from Niforheim, the land of the fog, and was born with an incomparable poison, the thunder of destruction, the terrible thunder that erupted from his mouth."
"He was once a vassal of my eldest brother, and after my eldest brother was suppressed, Nidhogg also fled Asgard and went to the depths of the universe."
"The universe is so big, I don't know if Nidhogg lived or died after leaving Asgard, where the thunder of destruction is hidden in his body, I don't know his whereabouts, and I naturally don't know the whereabouts of the thunder of destruction."
Frowning, Gu Chongyan didn't expect that the Thunder of Destruction would have such a origin.
In this way, in order to find the Thunder of Destruction, one must first find Nidhogg, but as Odin said, the universe is so big that even a single cosmic god can't search the entire universe, so where can he go to find Nidhogg?
But the Thunder of Destruction is related to the next path he will take, if he can't find it, he will have to give up this path.
But for this step, he has been preparing for so long, and it is too cost-effective to give up now.
After struggling for a moment, Gu Chongyan looked at Odin and asked, "Is there really no way to find Nidhogg?" ”
Odin thought for a moment and said, "It's not that it's completely impossible? ”
"Please ask Your Majesty for advice." Gu Chongyan said busily.
"Although the universe is big, it is impossible for Nidhogg to run too far, in the universe, if you want to know the most secrets, you must count the elders of the universe, if they are willing to help, they may be able to know Nidhogg's whereabouts."
Elder of the Universe?
Gu Chongyan twisted his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself.
He is naturally no stranger to the Elders of the Universe, they are members of the first highly intelligent humanoids to evolve in the universe, and they are also one of the oldest life forms in the universe, which has existed since the Big Bang.
They lived in the first galaxies formed by the birth of the universe, and their civilization reached extremely high levels before it became extinct.
The members of the Cosmic Elders are all the last survivors of their respective races, and each Cosmic Elder has the ability to be virtually immortal, as well as master ultra-advanced technology that gives them the ability to escape their homeland.
The Elders of the Universe not only survived the extinction of their respective races, they even survived the destruction of galaxies and survived the formation of new galaxies such as the Milky Way.
After realizing that they were the only survivors of the first life in the history of this universe, they begin to connect with each other.
Although they belong to different races and have hardly any biological connection, they have come to see each other as siblings.
Due to immortality, in order to lose the will to live, every Elder of the Universe has chosen a hobby, spending a lot of time and energy to pursue personal hobbies and entertainment.
For example, the famous collector and Gao Tianzun are members of the Elders of the Universe, in addition to architects, astronomers, runners, and so on.
