Chapter 128: Ymir, Would You Dare to Call Me Daddy? (6.5k)_3
Suddenly, the World Tree sapling let out a pleased tremble, its trunk growing taller by segments, and in the blink of an eye, it shot up dozens of meters, its Life aura increased several-fold.
It works!
Luo En's eyes brightened as he looked around at the frost and Flames constantly surging nearby and couldn't help but think of a fantastic idea.
—Chaos is disorder, the World is order, so the more mature the Divine Era, the more perfect the order.
—If he could artificially harmonize the forces of this nascent Divine Era, transforming chaotic Aether into absorbable nutrients, couldn't he speed up the development of the Divine Era and the growth of the World Tree?
And as it happened, the various Divine Patterns he had learned were a type of key for constructing order with his own will.
Thinking this, Luo En felt as if fortune had smiled upon him, and without further hesitation, he used the Gun of Nation Creation as a pen and Divine Blood as ink, engraving Divine Patterns onto the branches and leaves of the World Tree.
"Boom!"
As if sensing the coming of an unprecedented transformation, the skies of the Nordic God Era thundered violently, and fierce winds howled, their sounds constantly pouring into Luo En's mind like cries and roars,
But even as his consciousness was continuously assaulted and the Divine Blood roiled and boiled, he did not stop; instead, he wrote faster and more urgently.
The designs of the Divine Patterns grew increasingly whimsical and carefree, gradually deviating from the fixed images in Luo En's memory, transforming into patterns that were not quite right but still perfectly suited to the characteristics of this land.
Finally, the last stroke was made.
"Hum!"
The 24 ancient Divine Era inscriptions carved into the World Tree sapling trembled in unison, a colorful aurora burst through the boundless Chaos, shattering the encircling frost mist and Flames.
Suddenly, the entire Nordic God Era underwent earth-shattering changes.
In the Mist Country Niflheim to the north, within an Active Spring named "Hvagmir," waters gushed forth violently, and under the influence of the cold current, they turned into snow and ice. The accumulating snow and ice grew more and more vast and thick, glaciers and ice caps constantly extended, finally spilling over the borders of Niflheim and tumbling into "Ginnungagap," The Great Chasm at the center of the World, gradually filling up this huge crack that connected with Chaos;
At the same time, the Fire Country, Muspelheim, to the south was continuously spewing out large amounts of high-temperature Flames, splashing many dazzling sparks and blowing gusts of scorching winds, likewise falling into The Great Chasm Ginnungagap, making the southern side of the chasm warm and bright.
And in the middle of The Great Chasm, the ice from the Mist Country and the Flames from the Fire Country met, the ice melted into water droplets under the heat, then evaporated back into steam, which spread throughout The Great Chasm. When strong cold winds from Niflheim met the steam, it condensed back into droplets and formed rain clouds, raining cats and dogs in The Great Chasm, then heated by the hot winds again to turn back into steam, thus repeating the cycle. In the onslaught of hot and cold, gales swept through The Great Chasm.
And so it evolved continuously, the hot waves of the Fire Country and the cold air of the Mist Country interacting with each other in The Great Chasm, neutralizing one another. The tumultuous forces of ice and fire, through constant conflict and fusion, ultimately achieved a balance, turning into infinite Divine Liquid that poured down, nourishing the World Tree sapling and the land beneath its roots.
After an unknown period, the barren land's new sprout grew into a towering ancient tree, infinite Divinity flowing through its verdant veins and branches.
And at the same time, beneath the tree, a figure with a withered visage slowly opened their eyes and beckoned forward.
A long spear resembling a dead branch embedded in the trunk emitted a humanlike whistle, flying back to its master's hand on its own.
Feeling the surge of Divinity within the spear body, as well as that unfamiliar sense of Authority, a relieved smile appeared on Luo En's face.
It was finally a success!
A Godslaying Weapon not of the Age of Greek Gods, not constrained by the Heavenly Destiny of Greece!
Just as Luo En was overcome with emotion, the World Tree, which had grown into a towering giant, abruptly shook.
"Crack~~"
Accompanied by a crisp snap, a section of red-black dead branch fell from the top of the World Tree, landing in Luo En's hands.
Luo En was slightly startled and, with a thoughtful look, asked the World Tree before him,
"Are you, thanking me?"
"Rustle..."
The World Tree's branches and leaves gently rustled, responding in their unique way.
Seeing this, Luo En weighed the red-black dead branch in his hands with a bit of a laugh and a cry.
What's this for? Kindling?
"Hum!"
As he subconsciously swung forward, the red-black dead branch in his hand burst into intense flames, a several hundred meters long dark red flame shooting out, cleaving through the World Tree's canopy like a hot knife through butter.
Instantly, a large swath of branches and leaves turned to ash in the crimson blaze.
"Rustle~!"
The World Tree rustled its branches and leaves, emitting a sharp cry like a frightened child.
"Sorry, sorry!"
Luo En came to his senses and quickly dropped the red-black dead branch, scrambling to clear the burning branches and leaves off the World Tree.
After a bout of frantic efforts, he finally managed to save the World Tree, still smoking in various places.
"Rustle~~"
Hearing the rustling sound of the leaves carrying a different emotion, Luo En, as the instigator, couldn't help but give an embarrassed chuckle;
"Cough, slipped my hand, I didn't expect this gift of yours to be so powerful."
Seemingly pleased by some person's praise, the gloomy aura gathering around the World Tree gradually dispersed, several twisting branches pulled the red-black dead branch from the ground and presented it back to Luo En.
And at this moment, the thing that had absorbed Luo En's Divine Power and the World Tree's Divinity was vastly different from its previously unremarkable appearance:
