Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Odin, however, was willing but unable. As a god-king who liked to use spells to make women fall madly in love with him, he could only use this method to comfort himself in the end. He was also a master at liking married women, but he was busy with his career most of the time. His lack of strength caused him to subconsciously use his brain more when pursuing women, unlike the god-king next door who would force himself on whoever he liked.

Most importantly, Zeus didn't always use force when pursuing women; he would occasionally use romance. But Zeus knew to transform into a handsome man, while Odin preferred to transform into a middle-aged or elderly person even when he was in human form. Now, he's gone all the way and no longer has to worry about such things because they're no longer there.

If Odin doesn't want to share feelings with others when he doesn't want to do those things, then he'll probably have to focus on his career from now on.

Odin had previously promised that the other party could choose any part of his body, and even if the other party chose his kidney, he could only discuss with him later whether he could change the location.

At this time, however, the most important thing was to create the material world. Odin had a feeling that after completing the creation of this new world, he would gain great benefits from it.

He forcefully suppressed the dark, surging emotions within his heart.

He picked up the body of his last brother and threw it into the River of Blood. Finally, after some time, the River of Blood completely transformed into an ocean, and the Norse world was thus completed.

Upon seeing this, Odin's three brothers breathed a sigh of relief; if that hadn't worked, they would have been truly helpless.

After completing the great task of creation, because he single-handedly led the creation and sacrificed his two halves (his brothers), he deserved the greatest credit for creation. At the moment of completing this great task, Odin suddenly realized the reward for completing his mission—he gained the qualification to become the king of the world and the king of the gods.

That's right—qualification, just qualifications, not enough to immediately make him the ruler of the world.

Ymir, who was originally the embodiment of the entire world, should have been the rightful creator god, supreme god, and king of the world after the creation of the world. However, since he had died, Odin, as the leader, was qualified to inherit the world.

This result shook Odin to his core, and even the slightest unpleasantness from the creation process was suppressed. His ambition and desires began to swell along with the newly born, beautiful material world.

Before the supreme throne of the world king, even the slightest physical desire is utterly insignificant!

however--

Just as the most basic operating rules of the Norse world were established at the beginning of creation, you must give something in return for something else. Becoming the king of gods inevitably means bearing the responsibility of dealing with the day Ragnarok.

At this moment, Odin believed that as long as he became the king of the gods, he could sit on the throne and rule the human world forever, enjoying everything, and he began to eagerly pursue that moment to come.

Little did he know that from the moment he took that position, the countdown to the end of the world would begin in the Norse world, and for hundreds of years to come, he would live in torment and anxiety, working harder and more frantically than any other god-king in any pantheon, to prevent the day of Ragnarok from coming!

It has to be said that it's hard to say whether Odin used Ymir as a tool to create the world, or Ymir used Odin as the best worker to maintain the evolution of the world.

Ymir: You might think you're getting a good deal, but I'll always be the one making a huge profit. Who knows, the day Odin dies and the world is destroyed might be the day Ymir returns stronger.

and so--

Night: Let me bear this pain for you.

At this moment, on the other side—the other side of the world.

Unbeknownst to Odin, at the very moment he sensed his destiny (the reward for creation), the consciousness of Night on the other side also awakened simultaneously.

Since it was merely nurturing the seed rather than immediately creating the world, Night awoke along with the rest of the world when creation was complete in the Norse world and there were no more resources to absorb.

And at that very moment, he too received a new destiny.

Just as Prometheus stole fire and brought light to the human world, his ultimate fate was to bear the cold and pain that should have been slumbering in darkness in place of humanity. He was chained to the Caucasus Mountains, where he was tormented by wind and rain day and night, and suffered the pain of having his liver and paws devoured by the eagle that was Zeus in disguise...

The cyclical fate of the Nordic world will only be stronger than that of Greece.

As Night, who stole part of the origin of the Norse world, brought an even more terrifying growth potential to the concept of humanity. From now on, the limit of Night's growth will be the limit of the growth potential of humanity in the Norse world.

Even if humans theoretically possess infinite possibilities, it doesn't mean they have no limits. It just means that limits are easier to break, and now these limits have been artificially raised. In response, Night has also borne the same fate as the Norse world.

Chapter Thirty: Forgive me, Odin. This will be the first time, but it will never be the last.

He was born with the Nordic world and should have ended with its demise; the price he paid was becoming an integral part of this Nordic world.

He is like a country within a country in the vast kingdom of the Nordic world.

Like the land and the sea, for the Nordic world, it makes no difference what the night does with its resources; it remains a part of this world.

However, the proportion of night is far too large compared to other life forms in the world, which even gives night the qualification to become the ruler of the Norse world.

Or rather, only when night becomes the master of the world can it perfectly fill the missing part of the Norse mythology world, making the Norse world more complete and more in line with the world's instinct for self-improvement and its interests.

He is the missing one in the world.

It is precisely because of its uniqueness that, unlike Odin who drank from the Well of Wisdom to learn of his destiny, Night already knew in advance the beginning and twilight of this world, and that the past and future were all predetermined...

If anyone else knew from birth that they were destined to perish with the world, and that the world's destruction was irreversible, they would surely feel incredibly depressed, and some with weaker minds might even begin to despair.

However, upon learning everything and awakening from the ocean, Ye, with his jade-like body floating naked on the sea, slowly opened his eyes. His face showed no intense emotional fluctuations after sorting out the information.

Night: ...That's it?

Ye smiled slightly, a slight upturn to her lips.

Great news! This is—!

Unlike Odin, he didn't even need this kind of preordained enlightenment; he knew everything about the Norse world from the very beginning, from its origins to its end.

But knowing all this, it still chose to descend upon the Nordic world, and there was certainly a reason for that.

If he hadn't even considered this point, how could he dare to aspire to the throne of the World Tree God King?

Before it descended upon the conceptual universe of Norse mythology, night had already fallen from the Black Tower? I've already learned about that.

If we consider all the treasures and abilities in the Norse universe as poisonous forces, then in such a world, the stronger the power you acquire and the higher your status, the more tragic your end will often be.

Even after Night, an outsider, entered the conceptual universe, he still needed to follow the laws of the Norse world.

However, the rewards he received upon settlement did not include anything superfluous.

The source of the settlement can be traced back to a box at a higher level than the conceptual universe. You can call it the endless multiverse mythology river, or even the highest system program if you prefer.

The great achievements he accomplished in Northern Europe, in the end, will inevitably be settled by a green, pollution-free, and healthy version that has never been poisoned by tea.

This is why Ye was willing to borrow money recklessly, even at the cost of her life.

Even if the power cannot be fully calculated through legends during the settlement, even if it is only one ten-millionth of it, just giving him a prototype would be incredibly profitable!

You have to pay back the debt you borrow, so go find me in the simulated conceptual universe to pay it back!

What does the debt incurred in the conceptual universe have to do with my present world? The power he uses to settle accounts is completely different from his.

When it dies in the conceptual universe, and its life and power return to the world, everything ends.

After confirming this point repeatedly from the Black Tower, and knowing that no matter how much he roamed the Nordic world, he wouldn't be affected by the poison in reality, Ye quickly devised a strategy of roaming to the death as long as he didn't die.

Even because he carries the immense weight of life that he will endure throughout the world, one can foresee how much malice and suffering fate will throw his way.

But isn't this the very thing that makes legends, heroes, and even epic tales of gods possible?

Only a life as magnificent as the creation of the world is more likely to be remembered by the world, leaving a deep imprint on human history, the history of mythology, and the long river of myths.

This is a trial!

That thought inexplicably flashed through Ye's mind.

Then bring it on. Whether it's Ragnarok or something else even more terrifying, he will muster the courage to face it head-on.

However, one thing should never be mistaken: even though they are both on the path of saving the world (theirselves), he and Odin have a crucial factor that is fundamentally and decisively different.

He didn't approach this future with a sense of oppression, unease, confusion, or anxiety. Instead, he proactively embraced this challenge with anticipation.

For him, even if he died a miserable death in the end, it would only make him feel more at ease.

That means the world will remember his name, his deeds, his glory, and everything he did after he came to this land even more deeply.

This will absolutely not be a painful process of waiting for death, absolutely not!

Back to topic.

...The night had already prepared for what fate would arrange for a unique or particularly heavy price, but it turned out that its fate was only to have its end delayed until the day the world was destroyed.

(Night: Is there really such a good thing?!)

Unlike Odin, the god-king who was born and raised in the Norse world, who had to spend his whole life running around trying to maintain his sunk costs, his position as god-king, and the world he created and ruled.

Night doesn't care about the life or death of the Norse world; he can do his best as long as he can. But Odin will lose everything if he doesn't fight with all his might.

Even Odin in the original myth knew that everything was irreversible, and he could only try to postpone the day of Ragnarok indefinitely.

Just as Zeus knew that his youngest son would kill him and inherit the new divine position in the Greek pantheon, he kept having children while killing off potential children in advance, nipping them in the bud, and even swallowing his pregnant wife.

As a result, the fate of the son who killed his father was extended indefinitely, and in a sense, Zeus succeeded.

Odin's actions are similar in principle, but the fate of the Norse pantheon is more terrifying than that of the Greeks: the harder you try to maintain balance, the easier it is to break.

The balance has been completely tilted and messed up from the very beginning.

While Odin was still basking in the ecstasy of his impending dominion over the world, the awakened Night had already begun to act.

Odin is ecstatic, and after the night, he will save the world again (crossed out)!

Seize the opportunity! A quick start leads to continuous progress! First come, first served...

Since the goal is the same: to save the Norse world and resist the coming Ragnarok, it's perfectly fine for me to first accumulate resources and improve myself to better prepare for the day the world ends!

Logically consistent—! Forgive me, Odin! This will absolutely not be the last time!

Chapter Thirty-One: Creating Humans from Ash Trees – A Failure? The Gods: Why Couldn't We Create Humans?

Although he is still a human being, Ye has no doubt that this new body, when unleashed, could easily kill a god with a single punch.

In all aspects, it has reached the pinnacle level that human heroes could achieve during the Greek era.

Although written as a human, if the power of the terrifying nascent world within him were to erupt, it would be like a Saint Seiya unleashing their Cosmo, causing their combat power to surge to an exaggerated level that their enemies could not comprehend in an instant.

Night's goal was crystal clear at this moment—! "The World Tree"—!

It's impossible that he's the only one who has qualified to become the ruler of the world. Even without thinking, Ye could guess that old man Odin must have also qualified.

But if Little Deng gets there first, he can walk Odin's path and leave Old Deng with nowhere to go!

The position of the Lord of the World has nothing to do with strength; it is first come, first served.

Unlike Odin, who needed to obtain the Well of Wisdom to learn the strategy, Night, who already knew the strategy, did not need to think about how to solidify his qualifications and become the true ruler of the world.

Not to mention, Odin is completely unaware of the existence of his competitors.

What is Odin doing at this moment?

He was still basking in his own self-satisfaction and began doing what he believed would solidify his status as the ruler of the world.

In Odin's mind, the ruler of the world should be the king of the gods.

Therefore—if he becomes the king of the gods, then he will surely become the master of the world!

In this world where there is no concept of humans or other life forms, the newly born dwarves and elves pose no threat to Odin whatsoever. Only by conquering the powerful gods and other divine races and becoming their king can one become the true ruler of the world.

So Odin began to promote himself and began to recruit gods from all over the world, preparing to build his initial army.

He recruited the passionate and unrestrained goddess Sur, granting her the duty and divine authority to drive the sun chariot. Whenever she drove the sun chariot across the sky, the flowers, grasses, and trees on earth would sprout and grow under the sunlight, and all things would be grateful and offer their faith to her.
