Soul Trigger

Chapter 621 Secret
"He's just a kid, which is understandable. But in a way, he does care about you."

"But now I think he's such an idiot..."

"Really? But I heard you used to be quite interested in him?"

"Can you please stop talking..."

Anya shuddered uncomfortably, trying to cut ties with her past self.

Now that you're about to come into contact with supernatural powers, can't you have some grander dreams, like saving the world or improving the town's economy?

Suddenly, Ji Li raised his finger, signaling Anya to be quiet—

The door on Jason's side was pushed open, and the person who came in was none other than old Green.

Upon seeing his grandfather, Jason's eyes lit up with intense joy, and he rushed forward with the ancient book in hand.
"grandfather!"

Old Green's face remained expressionless:
"what are you doing here?"

Jason excitedly showed the old book to old Green:
"Look, Grandpa, I remember correctly, this book really does record everything. What's in here isn't a story at all!"

"Also, this morning I..."

Old Green grabbed Jason's wrist, his solemn expression startling the excited Jason.
"grandfather?"

Old Green snatched the book from Jason's hand:

"Go back to school, stop studying these things."

Jason's eyes lit up with alarm, and he grabbed Green's wrist with his other hand:

"Grandpa, I encountered Odin today! I felt His power! He answered me..."

"I told you, stop investigating. It won't do you any good."

He put the book away and, to Jason's astonishment, tossed it into the fireplace beside him.

The latter lunged forward, attempting to salvage the ancient book, but burned his hand on the fireplace.
"No! Why?!"

"Remember, what you're feeling is an illusion and a mirage. Go back to school..."

"Nonsense, I clearly felt it!"

Jason shook off Green's hand and argued his case:

"He deflected Pulitzer! He even shattered the walls! Odin's power is real! He..."

But without saying a word, old Green simply took off Jason's pendant, silencing him instantly.

"And now? Where is Odin's power?"

Jensen argued:
“You are a follower of Odin, how could Odin harm you…”

Odin is dead!

Old Green roared, stunning Jason into standing still:
"what?"

He sighed:
"Perhaps I shouldn't have given you this pendant; its only meaning now is as a symbol."

Odin is dead, and even if there is something left on this pendant, it is only a remnant of his power.

This is the truth you've been looking for; nothing else matters.

Old Green's indifference finally turned into deep sorrow as he tossed the pendant to Jason:
"Do as you please. Investigate if you want, but Odin is dead, and you won't find anything in the end."

After saying that, he left the room.

In the old house, Anya stared blankly at the picture on the wall:
"Odin is dead? What does that mean? But wasn't he himself a fanatical follower of Odin...?"

A glint of inspiration sparkled in Ji Li's eyes:

"He really does know something."

Odin is dead, which seems to reveal some special information.

One possibility is that old Greene does know something, and another is that the Pioneers have died.

So, is the version of myself that appeared in Silla a result of the death of the pioneer?
Or is death merely a phenomenon, and for the Green family, it simply means that the being they believe in has died?
"Wait, let me sort this out..." Anya said, studying the text.

"If what he said is true, that is, if there really is such a thing as 'Odin,' perhaps he is not the real Odin from mythology, but some powerful superhuman?"
After his death, he left behind a strange space here, and the Green family are the ones who guard this space.
But now the clues have been burned, what should Jason do?

"Stop guessing, Jason hasn't given up." Ji Li gestured for Anya to look at the wall. Jason was currently searching diligently for the ancient book in the ashes, and he actually pulled it out perfectly intact.

"How can this be?!"

The young PE student excitedly flipped through the book; apart from some coal dust, it was completely undamaged.

Anya immediately looked at Ji Li:

"You did it?"

"To be precise, it was my servants who did it."

Clementine discovered the ancient book before Jensen, and at Ji Li's request, she enveloped the book with a spiritual essence.

One reason is to prevent Jensen from encountering any strange situations and ensure the safety of this sports student in time; the other is to protect the ancient book itself.

"May Odin protect you..."

Jason's eyes gleamed with even greater excitement. He was now absolutely certain that a force was guiding him to uncover Odin's secret!
“Grandpa said Odin is dead, but how can a god die… It must be Him guiding me! My feeling is right!”

But if that's the case... does that mean I've become Odin's chosen one?!

Jason's pupils widened; he felt as if Valhalla was beckoning him, and an immense sense of mission welled up within him—

If Jensen's previous search for clues was driven by his own beliefs and fueled by passion, then...

The fact that the ancient book remained intact after the fire undoubtedly strengthened his faith.

He was no longer searching for clues for his own desires, but was carrying a destined mission: to resurrect Odin!
Anya: "He seems to really think he's the male lead now..."

Ji Li: "This is a good thing. I was worried that he might suddenly give up, but now it seems that I don't have to worry about it."

Besides, he has more important things on his shoulders now than you, so naturally he won't have time to think about you.

"Once the King of Gods is resurrected, I must petition him to let Anya and me enter the Hall of Heroes of Destiny together!"

Anya: "..."

Ji Li: "Never mind what I said."

Jason solemnly put away the book and began to walk toward the place indicated on the note.

"However, I've thought of a problem," Ji Li said thoughtfully.
"After a verbal warning, old Green let him investigate on his own, which is a very interesting sign."

Anya said, "So, Mr. Green is convinced that he can't find anything, even if Jason found the altar?"

This question cannot be answered at this time.

Following the instructions on the note, Jason arrived at the family library, where he got stuck again, unsure of what to do next. He even considered having the maid empty the entire library.
"Just move it if I tell you to. I'll explain to Grandpa!"

Furthermore, no spiritual energy emanated from the entire library, indicating that the altar had been concealed there through other means.
Secret door.

Ji Li had Clementine move through the walls and easily discovered the hidden door and mechanism.

Jason's attention was drawn by deliberately knocking over a row of books, causing the heavy books to fall to the ground.

He saw a thick book standing stubbornly on a bookshelf in mid-air, like a holdout.

Having gradually become familiar with Odin's guidance, he stepped forward and pried off the thick book. Sure enough, the mechanism activated, and a bookshelf lifted up like a door.

Jason excitedly stepped inside. It was a secret passage, but he failed to notice that there was a trap inside, which he accidentally stepped on.

Clementine, save him.

Under Ji Li's command, Clementine slammed Jason away.

But suddenly, a burst of spiritual energy erupted from the secret passage, transforming into a white ray of light that instantly pierced through Clementine's body.

Ji Li's pupils contracted slightly:
"Clementine?!"

The white family crest and spirit circuits extended at the end of the dark passage; they were neither the emblem of the World Tree nor the Green family.

When Shulong was in power, Ji Li had seen a badge like this on someone's clothes:
Duke Ludwig.

It's a spiritual circuit laid down by the Ludwig family... in the secret passage leading to the Odin Altar?!
Ji Li immediately called out to Clementine, and after a long while, received a trembling reply:

"I'm fine..."
