Chapter 780: Chapter 4 Fooling the Gods’ Mischief (6.1k) Chapter 780: Chapter 4 Fooling the Gods’ Mischief (6.1k) “Alright, with your words, I am reassured. Come and collect the honey wine in 30 days.”
Having received the promise he wanted, Luo En confidently assured and kindly reminded,
“However, before you take official action, I suggest you acquire a few Frost Giants with the bloodline of the Ancestor Giant, Ymir, and test the effects of the honey wine.”
Odin nodded earnestly, taking to heart the advice of his good brother, yet he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried,
“Being of the Giant Clan, is it really okay for you to help us ?”
“You think I’m living alone in a cave for no reason? My own kind may not be friends, and alien races may not be enemies.”
Luo En ambiguously explained, then looked up towards the blizzard outside the cave, and mused thoughtfully,
“Moreover, if you could overthrow the Ancestor Giant, it might also be a good thing.”
Luo En nodded slightly, his gaze becoming profound,
“In the Chaos Sea Domain, there exists a magic beast known as the ‘Great Whale’. Its body is so massive that it spans tens of thousands of miles, and every creature in the deep sea serves as its food. Yet, when it dies, it’s not the end of all life, but the beginning of many new lives. Countless deep-sea creatures feed on its flesh, rest on its bones, and replenish themselves with its magic power, forming a more flourishing ecosystem. When one whale falls, myriad beings thrive—such is the way.”
“Likewise, our world has similarly vital beings. It’s like a towering tree whose canopy overshadows the entire sky, absorbing all the dew and rain; its roots spread across the land, consuming all the nutrients. With it around, do you think the other trees have space to grow?”
Odin looked thoughtful and slowly spoke,
“Are you talking about Ymir?”
Luo En slightly nodded, his profound gaze growing even deeper,
“Ymir has monopolized the milk of the primordial cow and the warm regions of Ginnungagap, forbidding all deities and giants from coming near, and has been lavishly nurturing himself with the resources of the God Era World. During his rule, instead of further developing, our world has deteriorated. Consider this: giants lacking food, hunt the Divine Race; the Divine Race perishes, and the Giant Clan infights… If this continues, by the time the entire God Era World is emptied and hollowed out by Ymir and those unrestrained giants, we will probably face the twilight of all. By then, neither deities, giants, you, nor I can escape a fate worse than destruction.”
Odin, listening to this good brother, connecting the situation of the Divine Race, seemed to foresee the ‘twilight’ of the gods and the world, and shivered at the future described by Luo En.
“So, we need to cut down this great tree, to allow the entire forest beneath it to continue to grow and flourish?”
Luo En nodded and replied openly,
“That’s also why I haven’t planned on stopping the Divine Race’s self-rescue and am willing to help you and your people. But as a son of a giant, this is all I can do. Do you understand, Odin?”
Odin nodded earnestly to his blood-bonded brother, his eyes brimming with admiration and respect.
He had thought all giants were cruel and bloodthirsty freaks; he did not expect such a visionary wise man among the Giant Clan.
“Rest assured, I promise you, even if the Divine Race defeats the Giant Clan, we will not annihilate them; we will strive to create a world where all life can continue.”
Odin patted this giant brother’s shoulder, solemnly promising.
“I believe you.” Luo En smiled and nodded, not doubting the promise of the future Nordic Divine King.
Setting aside the Divine Grade, once Odin ascended, as he himself had said, he really created a shared world for the Nine Great Kingdoms, without annihilating the Giant Clan, their ancestral enemies; instead, he continued to act against the ‘twilight of the gods’.
After a brief exchange, Odin embraced his good brother to say goodbye and then hurried back to his people.
Due to the surge of giants, the days of the Divine Race were becoming increasingly untenable, food growing scarcer, almost completely lacking the space to survive. They needed to make a decisive move before the next severe winter arrived.
With both his grandfather and father seeing hope for victory, having bestowed great power upon him, he still had much to do.
Watching Odin’s figure retreating into the blizzard, turning his head three times with each step, until he eventually disappeared in the distance, Luo En caressed the silver amulet in his hand and shook his head in secret.
How quickly he had opened up all the secrets of himself and the Divine Race, who could have thought that Odin and he had only met twice?
Compared to himself, a Greece tea master of great experience, the future Nordic Divine King was still too young and inexperienced.
Of course, it’s also possible that the Divine Race had truly reached a point of desperate straits, and he had no choice but to seize every opportunity and make a bold move.
Well then, let’s lend a brother a hand.
Luo En cut open the palm of his right hand, soaking the materials for brewing honey wine with Divine Blood, further enhancing the honey wine’s potency, and then buried his head in the familiar brewing process.
As time flew, the 30 days passed in a blink of an eye.
Odin arrived as scheduled at the cave where Luo En lived, officially coming to collect the goods, followed
